Funny Links

So, I found these links while I was at work yesterday:

This one from Craigslist – My favorite section:

A girl’s gotta’ eat. I mean, if she tries to pass celery and peanut butter off as a meal one more time, I’m calling someone.

If it wasn’t for the fact that I’m married, and this chick lives in Austin.. I’d have responded to this ad, I found it hilarious!

This one from the Sun. Just in time for the Holidays.. turn your iPod into a vibrator! Hey..if you’ve got a new video iPod… you can get everything at once..watch your porn while cranking up the volume to speed up the vibrator!

The £25 iBuzz connects up to the gizmo and pulses while each tune is played.

And last, but not least… don’t you just hate it when your Mom is right? Canadians have done a test that confirms that if you get cold, it makes it more likely for you to get a cold..

And getting your feet wet, they found, can triple the risk of developing cold symptoms such as sore throat, sneezing and coughing.

You know what this means? the end of nude skiing, and having sex outside in the middle of a blizzard..

Oh yeah.. in other new World of Warcraft has been updated to 1.8.3 and they’ve added a little launcher thingy..says it scans for virus and cheat programs… presumably that portion is winblows only

New Clothing

Japan appears to have come up with a solution to their energy problems.. see, they are asking people to just turn the heat down in their office buildings/homes/etc..

I hear you asking now “But, how will those poor Japanese people stay all warm and toasty this winter if they turn the heat down?” The answer is right here.

Yes, the Japanese have invented a heated bra! No more waking up in the morning, and having to worry about your boobs being cold all day, just throw the pads in the microwave for a few seconds..then throw ’em back in the bra.. and toasty warm breasts..and if they get chilly again? just whip those pads back out.. toss ’em in the microwave in the break room.. and then reinsert! What could be more simple?

Uhh..seriously.. do you girls really worry that much about the temperature of your boobs? First, we had the bikini that was supposed to keep your boobs cold, now we have the bra to keep them warm. If you’re indecisive, do you sew the two together and have one cold boob and one warm boob?

I mean.. c’mon.. I’m a big fan of boobs..but I think its gone a little far when you’re designing special garments to adjust their temperature.. you don’t see air conditioned or heated Men’s underwear now do you?

Kael's Adventures

Conversation with Kael

I get this email at work tonight from Janice: (So..keep in mind when reading it that the ‘Me:’ is Janice..not Me)

Kael: “How do you feel, Nonny?”

Me: “I feel sick, Kael, how do you feel?”

Kael: “I feel like chicken with barBEcue.”

Another one a few minutes later:

Kael: “How do you feel?”

Me: “I feel sick, Kael, how do you feel?”

Kael: “I feel like crap”

And then ~

Kael: “How do you feel?”

Me: “I feel sick, Kael, how do you feel?”

Kael “I feel yucky, like Pepsi.”

Ya gotta love the kid… he’s hilarious!

Toddler Wisdom 9

“Go Faster Daddy!”

Followed promptly by “we’re racing!” Gotta love the little adrenaline junky that he is.. he even gets mad if I can’t go faster due to little things..like traffic lights, other cars on the road..

Besides…Go Faster is always good advice…

Updates (or lack thereof)

Blame World of Warcraft. My brother kept nagging me..so I signed up with a 10 day trial…and while I’m not addicted.. I have been playing quite a bit during the trial, to determine if I want to upgrade and start paying for a subscription.

So far, my biggest complaint (and really, I have this same complaint about all online games) the game companies charge the same $50.00 (when the game is new) for a game you can only play via subscription (at $15.00 a month) as they do for the ‘single’ player games, or games that have an optional online multiplayer capability. C’mon.. if you’re going to charge a monthly fee.. sell the retail box for cheaper..since its worthless without paying the monthly fee!

Anyone know of a WoW mod to control iTunes for the Mac? all the ones I’ve been able to find so far are for winbloze…

ouch!

Came across this story today… and really all I can say is Owwwwww!

Now.. I can understand being upset with your ex for getting over you.. and I can understand wanting a little revenge.. but c’mon..supergluing his penis to his stomach.. that’s a bit excessive… this is my favorite quote from the link though:

O’Toole’s attorney said this was part of routine sexual activity between the couple — acts that he agreed to — incidents that should have stayed in the bedroom.

So..she claims that part of their normal, consensual sex.. was to superglue each others genitalia to various portions of themselves.. now.. maybe its just me.. but I’m failing to see the turn on in being superglued to myself..

Janice’s response? “With 10 men on the jury…wonder who’s gonna win the case?”

Odd Search result

I took a quick glance at the logs to see what kind of search queries were sending people here (besides the obvious ones like people searching on my name, or Kael’s name).

One caught my eye (I didn’t look at an extended period of time, I think it was just 1 day)

Coned shape boobs

Now.. this is not something I would have expected to have this site show up in the results for..so.. I Googled the phrase.. thinking I’d have to dig through several pages of results to find a hit from here.. nope.. I was wrong.. I was #7 on the list of results.. which, of course, made me look to see where I’d been talking about coned shape boobs (considering I would have spelt it correctly as cone shaped boobs)..turns out.. because I have Movable Type set to create a category archive page (which lists every entry ever written for a particular category)… I appear to have made fun of boobs and Con-Ed (the power company) in the same category.. so when Google indexed the page I appear to have been talking about oddly shaped boobs..I suppose I should be relieved that I didn’t show up further up the list of results, and beat out the erotic story that is the #1 result)

Apple

Video iPod

So, as everyone (who doesn’t live in a cave) knows.. a few weeks ago Apple introduced a revised iPod, with video playback capabilities.. I hadn’t said anything on it yet, because I was reserving judgement until I had a chance to see one in person. Yesterday, I was able to swing by the Apple store and take a look.

My first thought is that the screen looks big.. comparatively – I realize its only like 2.5 inches.. but because the iPod itself is so thin and narrow.. the screen looks bigger then it is.

The picture is also better then I expected for the screen size.. would I want to watch a full length movie, or even an episode of Lost on it? Nope.. I suppose it wouldn’t be bad for watching some of the short clips everyone gets emailed from time to time..but.. I think it’d be more work to get the clip onto the iPod, then it would be to just watch it on your computer.

I think the ability to hook the iPod up to a TV for video playback is good..I don’t think the demand is there to watch a lot of video on a 2 inch screen.. so.. this iPod will not be at the top of my want list.. of course, if someone were to buy me one, I wouldn’t refuse =0
