Don't shoot the puppy

Tough little puzzle game. Try not to shoot the puppy. I could never get past level 4. (We're watching my sister-in-law's poodle puppy and I think that has something to do with it)

Update: It's pretty ironic that I link to some viral before boingboing does the day before I quit my cubicle surf all day job. If I had only kept working for crap in a shitty environment I could make a name for myself on the interweb!!

Ch-ch-ch-changes

I found out that as a temp I was making more than the permanent employees I work with. I found out there is no future in my cubicle job. I found out I have an opportunity to make a great living running my own company. I'll be doing exploratory drilling, looking for minerals or basically anything worth mining. So I quit the cubicle job. My last day is Thursday. Part of my new job will involve driving around in the woods, and towing large pieces of equipment. The Honda Accord I have been driving will not be up to the task. So yesterday I bought a truck. A great big ol' Alabama Redneck truck, though Carfax tells me this truck originally came from California. Wanna see it? Ok, here it is:


That's a big truck. Really big. Both of the kids need help getting into it. I feel like a redneck driving it, but I do like it. I'm ready to go do some muddin'. There's a diamondplate toolbox in the bed and even a winch up front. Four wheel drive, of course. Towing package, even a Mopar thingy to activate brakes on a trailer.

Since I'm leaving the cube, I'll probably not be posting so much anymore. I'll be reconditioning drill trucks and driving around in the woods.

At the dealership yesterday they gave SD a huge pink balloon. She loved it. Driving away I said, "Do you like my new truck?"

She said, "Uh-huh. But my ballon is prettier. It's all about priorities, I guess.

Toons



I have long considered cartoons to be a valid art form. It's nice when a friend who actually knows something about art likes 'em too. And emails me links to great toons. Check 'em out!

Motion Denied Because You're An Idiot

In what is surely a first for the federal judiciary, a Texas bankruptcy judge has quoted from the Adam Sandler film canon in a recent opinion.

Pretty neat, and well done.

Tempest in a teapot

All kinds of people are up in arms over the above picture. Maybe because it ran on the front page of the Bryan-College Station Eagle and it looks like the guy's dingdong is flopping out. There was so much of a uproar that the editor felt compelled to write a full page disclaimer explaining how it's a trick of optics and angles.

Well, he's right. The guy's dingdong is not on display, but it sure looks like it. But don't try and tell me that no one noticed what it looks like before the pic ran. That's bull. So why run it in the first place? The editor answers that question rather snidely, stating that they sold out of that edition. Of course, he says that no one noticed what the picture appeared to show before press time. Sorry, I'm just not credulous enough to believe it.

I can however see them noticing, making sure it's not what it seems, and deciding to run the pic as a no-fault way of selling a crapload of papers. Which they did. I don't know if that's unethical, sleazy or just good business sense, but I know it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Google Video Easter Egg

Go to google video with moderate safe search on and search for 'hardcore porn.' (And no, I did not discover this on my own, I'm at work!)

Or if you're lazy...LINK
