Charlie's balancing act.

So, Chuck got hammered on Friday night and passed out on the couch while we were all very alert and hammered. Not a great idea, Chuck. I think Rob got the great idea to start balancing objects on his forehead. Here you see the fake pear from Rusty's fake fruit bowl on his kitchen table. It is a good thing Rusty lives with girls, if he had a fake fruit bowl and only dudes lived at his place it would be uber flaming...

Miracle Water!

Tuesday, January 25, 2005  > Trackback URL
Ok, so you never know what you're going to find on television when you have over 300 channels of non stop entertainment. Here's a prime example of that, Church-TV. What a fantastic idea for those landmonsters that can't quite make it out of the house to worship their god and sing in the priaises of their faith. Why wake up early, throw on your poncho / mu-mu , schlep halfway across town to your place of worship when you can simply tune into channel 887 or whatever rediculous number it is to join in on services like this!

Look how entertaining and moving it is, there are all sorts of haggered people that can't walk, have leporacy, some sort of terminal illness or are plain out busted up individuals that somehow get miraculously healed when Reverend Joey Buttafuco over here places his hands on their forehead and urges the spirit to move the person. BAM, they're up, screaming, dancing, doing the freakin electric slide thanks to this ass-clown and the holy spirit. Man, if church was like this maybe more people would go, but then again church would be on the same educational and mental plane as the WWE (Formerly WWF). C'mon guys, you all know that it is fake. Spiritual healers, church on tv, the WWE...

But don't let that stop you from shelling out your $29.95 to get your own Miracle Water. Drink it down, brush your teeth in it, use it as some sort of IV drip, make ice cubes out of it and have them with a nice gin and tonic. It will be the best $29.99 you ever spent! Call now!

WHOAH, major update to the MIRACLE WATER entry!
Call the freakin phone number, it is working now. Reverend Bob's answering machine picks up and asks for your name, number, home address, etc. It sounds like he's going to send a Catholic hit squad after you. Creepy stuff. Seriously, call the number now if you want a good laugh or if you want a free sample of miralcle water. I'm going to have some shipped here to the office, I'll be blogging it once it arrives.

Call the number, if you get no response it is because the line is overloaded. Seriously, people are calling 24-7 for their miracle water.
800.390.7234

Now, once you get in your miracle water, here is a list of possible things you can do with it...

* Become the son of god.
* Fly like superman.
* Cure leporacy.
* Eat an entire sleeve of saltines without having any water.
* Tear a phone book in half.
* Cure cancer.
* Miraculously end world hunger.
* Mock ordinary water for its lameness.

Of course, what you do with Miracle Water is completely up to you. Please do not use Miracle Water for evil.

What are you guys going to do with your Miracle Water?

-9.0, I'm freezing my tits off.

Monday, January 24, 2005  > Trackback URL
Went to Vermont this weekend, froze my tits off.
Here's a nice snapshot of the digital thermometer at the Herberger residence, as you can see, it was very cold out this morning. This picture didn't take into account the blisteringly cold windchill. The wind was gusting 35-45 miles per hour that day, making it a balmy -66.69927654392393 outside. I'm pretty sure the temperature would have continued to drop unitl it reached absolute zero (-459) but the wind died down, thus allowing all molecular movement to commence.

The one good thing was that this was right as the storm started to whip up and dump 20 inches down on Mount Snow... Thankfully I've got just about every layer that EMS sells so I was layering up on the neoprene, gore-tex, North Face, etc. I was using hand and toe warmers like they were going out of style. I had for of those bad larrys in my glovies. At one point I noticed that steam was coming off of the palm of my hand, it was freakin money. Starbucks should attach those things to their coffee so they never get cold, then I could see paying $4 for a freakin drink, you know, as long as it never got cold.

Whoah, this post went waaayyyyyyyyyy off topic.

Enough said, it was cold, people that don't know what Goretex XCR and layering was all about froze into a solid brick and shattered into pieces, a-la Terminator 2 style with the liquid nitrogen.

Enough Dell?

 > Trackback URL
So, many of you are aware that I deal exclusively with Dell for all my hardware, software and peripherals.

Today, I got in so much product that they sent a special logistics carrier to deliver it. UPS, DHL and FedEx didn't have local trucks that could empty a couple of palates of gear so they sent a special truck. Here's a picture of my office, or what is left of it.

It seems that every time I turn around there's just one more box from Dell coming in. I'm starting to have nightmares about start menus and express service codes.

But wait, there's more. The Dell piles are starting to take over key strategic points in the office. They're blocking access to supplies, coffee, doors and water! I think the boxes are plotting a secret revolt against the employees here...

Dell stack near the back door of the office and blocks the exit in case of an emergency.

Dell blocks access to the supply closet, setting off a chain reaction of empty staplers and pencils without lead

A 131 pound server box blocks access to the water cooler and mail boxes, employees go thirsty for days, some die from lack of hydration.

So, as you can see, Dell is slowly overtaking my entire office with product and setting off a chain reaction of office supply droughts and employee fatigue.

I'm going to get in another truckload of equipment later this week, that should just about fill the 1st floor of the building...

Shout out to our Dell rep, Kyle for the insane service he's been hooking us up with for the past year.
(Ohh man, I just gave shout outs to our Dell rep. This is a new level of dorkitude for MMP.)

Ninja's killed my family...

Friday, January 21, 2005  > Trackback URL
Some of you remember the bum that I encountered while in Key West and how completely honest his signage was. Well, here's another bum that is just trying to keep it real. It seems that Ninjas killed his entire family and he needs donations so he can get kung fu lessons so he can avenge their deaths. Fantastic. Here is a dollar.

What I don't understand about this picture is why he has smiley faces in there. If Ninjas killed his entire family shouldn't he be upset or vengeful? I mean, c'mon guy, a smiley face. I would put a smiley with an eye patch and katana blades or something. Then people could at least understand how freakin pissed off you are at this ragtag bunch of ninjas that wasted your entire family with their superhuman kung-fu grip.

And while you're at it, get your fat ass on a treadmill. I've never seen a 300 pound ninja. Your fat ass would destroy a grappling hook, lets not mention how the element of stealth is completely negated by the floor creaking due to your enormous poundage. Put down the sandwiches.

Just a suggestion.

As many of you know, I'm starting to head down the treacherous road of shameless self promotion and merchandising. I'm trying to make the schwag we're going to sell as offensive and cool as possible, so here you see the concept for the "If you're Ugly" pillowcase. What do you guys think?

This is the greatest amusement park ride ever constructed by man.

I give you SUPERMAN THE ESCAPE at Six Flags, Magic Mountain. For those of you that aren't in the know, let me break down what this ride does. It starts out flat, goes 0-100 miles per hour in less than 7 seconds and then throws you up a 41 story incline at that 100 miles per hour until you eventually slow down and fall back to Earth at 100 miles per hour, backwards. It is the greatest rush ever. The acceleration throws your head back into the seat so fast they have warnings all over the place telling you to firmly place your head on the headrest.

Well, since you guys couldn't be there I waited in the line so I could get the front seat and then whipped out the digital camera and took a video so you could see what the ride is like. The download is an .avi and is 6 megs large. Broadband users will have no problem with it at all. The ride goes so fast the camera didn't have a chance to white-balance!!!!!

Angelli and I were playing some Halo deuce over xbox live Friday night before I left for SO-Cal, we played a team slayer round where I racked up a 17 kill streak and died only once in the entire round. We were playing 4 on 4 in a 50 kill match. I managed to rack up 27 of the 50 killes needed for the 4 of our team members and only died once. I put on an owning session.

The statistics were mind blowing, my accuracy was well above 50%, my medal count was 27 (unheard of) and I only died once in a 15-20 minute battle. I was unstoppable.

Here's a pic from the early stages of sunset from Huntington Beach in California.

I've had a crazy day. I've seen the sun rise on the Atlantic and it set on the Pacific. I've been on a plane for over 8 hours and I've spent over 4 hours sitting around an airport. I've also had 4 bags of miniature peanuts and seen two crappy in flgiht movies. I had the exit row for two flights in a row and my seats didn't recline at all. At least a I had a crapload of legroom. The one downfall was that I didn't have a tray-table for either flights. That kind of sucks when you're toting around a lappy with a 15.4 inch widescreen display.

On a side note, props to Delta for upgradiing my seats on both flights. That was awesome. I'd rather be in the emergency exit row than the last row of the plane with half the legroom and seats that didn't recline.

I bet that all that sophisticated navigation equipment is really just a copy of "Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiago" and they randomly go to the USA map to see where they're going.

Seriously, inext time I'm on a plane I'm just going to carry a backpack of turned on Game Boy's on during landing takeoff and landing. Maybe with all that electromagnetic interferance those fancy guidance and navigational computers up in cockpit land would fail and cause the plane to do something crazy...

Why do I ride Mount Snow so much? Ohh that's right, it is free on my season pass, it isn't that far away (as long as I'm in Worcester) and they have the nastiest park in the East.

I saw some people get mangled today, it was great. This one guy ate about 30 yards of crap. He just kept falling and falling and tumbling. Ohh it was fantastic. I wish I carried my phone on the slope, I'd get some clutch video of that for you guys. What made it better was that he was skiing bumps and they had around 8 inches of new snow in them and he just kept pin balling off of them, kicking up snow while his equipment stayed on his feet. What an ass-hat.

At least Mount Snow is good for some things, like watching all the New Yorkers who ski once a season get f'ed up on terrain. They all wear the same god damn thing, starter jackets and denim jeans tucked into their rear entry boots. I don't know how these people do it, I wear some of the warmest North Face, Burton and Bonfire gear and I still get cold.

# I was spit on by a venomous snake.
# I totaled my wife's jeep in a collision with a cow.
# A hitman was looking for me.
# My curlers burned my hair and I had to go to the hairdresser.
# I eloped.
# My brain went to sleep and I couldn't wake it up.
# My cat unplugged my alarm clock.
# I had to be there for my husband's grand jury trial.
# I had to ship my grandmother's bones to India.
# I forgot what day of the week it was.
# Someone slipped drugs in my drink last night.
# A tree fell on my car.
# My monkey died.

Attention Mapquest.com, you suck. Bigtime.
I needed directions to a client, they were only 2 miles away from the client that I was at. So I used mapquest to find the directions, it was only two miles away... What does mapquest do, it sends me halfway across the globe to the wrong friggin place, on the wrong frigging route, in the wrong frigging city.

Some of you may be thinking that I wasn't following the directions correctly... Well, I was. Becuause I was doing the turn by turn directions with a fargin map. I was right, mapquest was wrong.

So mapquest, here is what I think of you. Why don't you do all of us a favor and just admit that you have no clue what the hell you are talking about and that all you're really trying to do is have us drive around aimlessly. Ohh yeah, and while you're at it, you may want to fix that problem were your directions will print like 100 blank freakin pages
