Hyper Gumbo

I love it when someone doesn’t think thru the corner cases,

“root is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.”

It’ll be reported, yeah…to ROOT =p

I feel like starting a new tradition today, the Obama Tree.

I’m impressed with the level of self-deception it must take a christian with even the most passing interest in the bible, to actually re-create the scene of praying to the golden calf.

Between Dan Akroyd’s Crystal Head Vodka and Danny Devito’s Limoncello, I think one could have an enjoyable evening of inebriation. Too bad neither one will ever show up in the state run liquor stores we have to pick from up here in the Northwest.

Just got a text message spam trying to hype the “Africa Diamond Co Inc” for a pathetically obvious pump-and-dump scam.  It seems really stupid to send out on a saturday, when markets are closed.  By the time the market opens on Monday, the SEC will know about their scam, and won’t let any suckers buy in in the first place.

morons

The Mickey Bus is coming

And everybody’s jumping

A crazy colored yo-yo

A pumpin pumpin disco

The bus is coming closer

No time to be a poser

UPDATE:  It seems they also never heard of roman numerals, and so while playing “synchronicity II”, suggest that I don’t own “synchronicity 2″.  I’m so impressed.

Seems some less-than-thoughtful developer decided that artists who aren’t available for sale thru iTunes would get the same treatment as artists that iTunes doesn’t recognize.  So you get the rather pathetic outcome of selecting The Beatles’ “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer”, and getting recommended Metallica’s “Death Magnetic”.  Yeah, really “genius” behavior there, steve jobs.

So, in what’s become a frequent incident in downtown Seattle, the Monorail failed, and the fire department had to evacuate everyone by ladder truck.  That’s not the funny part.  I’m watching the news, and it appears that the ladder truck they used is broken down too, with the hood raised up so someone can work on the engine.

Next time you go searching for that certain special someone, for the night, on craigslist, you can see if the picture they give you is for real or not. Tin Eye is an image search engine that uses an image as the search term, rather than words. It does an amazing job of finding the handful of people who’ve bothered to re-host some of my pictures, instead of just hot-linking to them like the other 2000+ myspace pages do. If only they indexed all the personal ads. Still, I suspect some people are going to get exposed as frauds anyways, once words of Tin Eye hits the e-streets.
