He is satisfied!

I’ve had a few extrange email exchanges with a faculty member on campus. He always likes to ask “why?” as a reply to an campus-wide emails that I send out.

The last email involved one of our servers being down. He asked why. Since I knew he was joking I sent him a picture of Cartman with a satellite dish sticking out of his ass and I said “because we need to realign the dish.”

Today I had to send out another email saying that the server in question will need to be down again at the end of the week. But this time I was proactive and I added:
“PS: Curt - The dish was obviously not aligned properly. (everyone else may ignore this comment)”

As expected, he replied. But this time he said:
“oh…thanks that explains why…..you are so helpful.”

I win!

Magical trip to Disneyland

From my credit card statement:

You may think that it was a fun day at Disneyland. And you’d be right.

The Jumbone rocks my world

I have previously mentioned how much in love I am with the Jumbone commercial. It truly has the best song ever.

While looking for something for Barkley to chew on, I came across the Jumbone display. And for God’s sake, I’m only human! I bought one.

I ran back home singing “It’s a really really big, really big, big, bone” and I gave the Jumbone to Barkley as soon as I saw him.

Oh sweet Jebus. He looooved it! I think it’s a crack-stick. I didn’t read the ingredients label. No need. It’s crack. It’s 100% unadulterated crack. I have never seen Barkley act like that with anything else. He actually finished the Jumbone that night. Heck, I’m thinking of trying one myself.

Here is a (bad) picture of Barkley enjoying his crack-stick.

Fox News

The Republican National Convention begins tomorrow in NYC. Today, the city is full of protesters against Bush, the GOP, etc, etc. (Pic - More Pics)

CNN is covering it. MSNBC is covering it. Even CSPAN is covering (non-stop I may add.) What about Fox News? They are acting as if none of this is going on.

So of course, if you tune to CSPAN, you can hear the crowds chanting things such as “Fox News sucks!” and the classic “Fox News is full of shit!” Highly entertaining.

Let’s check out their websites. At CNN.com the story is their main headline “Tens of thousands protest GOP convention.” Same thing at MSNBC; “No More Years” is their headline. Fox News instead has it as the 3rd more important headline, with a picture of a cop arresting a protester and the headline “Protesters Greet GOP” as if to say “aren’t they just rude!”

More strange emails

The other day I talked about a strange email exchange I had with a faculty member.

Today I had to send another e-mail to all faculty members about some server downtime. Once again, the same guy sent a reply with only one word: “Why?”

Since I knew what he was trying to do, I attached this picture:

And typed: “Because we need to move the dish.”

Car warning labels

I have been really busy at work being that it is now the beginning of the semester at the University and it seems like I get to talk to every student, every day, twice.

But I just wanted that every time I see one of these on the road, I consider them as a warning label:

It basically stands for something such as:
“Warning! The vehicle in front of you may come to a sudden stop, change lanes without signaling, travel at speeds slightly above 5 mph, or a number of other dangerous activities. This may cause serious harm or even death to you and those around you.”

Stop listening to bad music

You Have Bad Taste in Music is a website put together by a guy who goes to bad concerts and tell attendees that they are listening to bad music.

He starts by making it seem as if he is on their side. People get excited. Then he starts citing stats and other facts and basically insults their music.

“Sir, do you sleep with 12 year old girls? Then why do you listen to their music?”
- At a Christina Aguilera & Justin Timberlake concert

So cute you want to puke

If you do not think this picture is cute, you aren’t human.

I’ll now stop bothering you with puppy pics for the time being.

Meet Barkley

Good morning! Everyone, please gather around Barkley.

He is a yellow lab puppy and he loves socks! He also fell down a couple steps down to the backyard and finally he got startled by his own shadow.
