Details are not clear, but early reports are stating that the hikers stumbled across the smoldering crash site of a large aircraft, possibly a sleigh, being pulled by what appears to be six to eight tiny reindeer or regular deer. The authorities are not confirming or denying any information until a complete autopsy of the body in the aircraft is complete; however, the coroners’ office has confirmed that the human remains are that of a large male in his thousands. <br /><br />This crash comes only a month after the North Pole issued a press release stating, albeit cryptically, “Today, North Pole R&D has ushered in a new era. The sleigh ride will never be the same.”<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665582.post-25044195687337198722008-12-16T15:52:00.001-05:002008-12-16T15:52:29.439-05:00Twitter the End of Prose?maybe?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665582.post-55497518858771325352007-02-28T21:54:00.000-05:002007-02-28T21:56:54.261-05:00Worst.

Reason? A HORSE. A horse is a course a horse a horse. I love my pets as much as the next cat-lady, but I do not think Barbaro's life and death should be national news.<br /><br />On the local news they interviewed a florist who's shop was close to Barb's stable. They asked what happened after she found out about the dead horse, with tears in her eyes she said, "I've been crying all day, and praying." The segment featured other interviews in which people stated that they to had been crying and praying all day. I am not really sure what these people are praying for. When I was blinded and misguided, I was under the impression that praying for the dead was like sending letters of recommendation to God on behalf of the deceased.<br /><br /><em>"Dear god-</em><br /><em>Gramps was a good guy. He farted sometimes, but overall all he was a good worker. He showed up on time for birthdays, and always came through on holidays. I highly recommend him for this position."<br /></em><br /><br />But what are these people praying for, "Uh, he was a good horse, he ran...fast. He liked hay." Get outta here. These people are have problems. I wasn't around when Mr. Ed died, but the sadness his death brought would have been understandable. He was funny. (With the help of Nick@Nite) He made me laugh. <br /><br />People today are pathetic. I wish we would go back to the time of moustaches and knickerbockers. The horse would have died and been made into food and glue within 45 minutes of its demise. <br /><br />Sorry for this rant, but the coverage on this subject is ridiculous. People are calling him a great athlete, he was a horse, running is what they do. <br /><br /><br /><a onclick="window.open('http://del.icio.us/post?v=4&noui&jump=close&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title), 'delicious','toolbar=no,width=700,height=400'); return false;" href="http://del.icio.us/post">add to del.icio.us</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665582.post-79730919007813227262007-01-27T18:01:00.000-05:002007-01-27T18:02:36.318-05:00Bob Dylan Sang the Classics<object width="400" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.superdeluxe.com/static/swf/share_vidplayer.swf"></param><param name="FlashVars" value="configUrl=http://www.superdeluxe.com/sd/contentXml.do?id=D81F2344BF5AC7BBCB527A16E29DBD1B3E00117445392387"></param><embed src="http://www.superdeluxe.com/static/swf/share_vidplayer.swf" FlashVars="configUrl=http://www.superdeluxe.com/sd/contentXml.do?id=D81F2344BF5AC7BBCB527A16E29DBD1B3E00117445392387" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br /><a href="http://del.icio.us/post" onclick="window.open('http://del.icio.us/post?v=4&noui&jump=close&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title), 'delicious','toolbar=no,width=700,height=400'); return false;"> add to del.icio.us</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665582.post-46221566706236251002007-01-25T23:11:00.000-05:002007-01-26T11:13:25.515-05:00The Good Old DaysUp until a few years ago I was a fanatical NHL fan, over the past few years though I've lost interest -- one reason the strike, another reason the watered down, no hitting or fighting, "New" NHL. My love for hockey started about the time I was in kindergarten, and I attended my first Flyers' game when I was in first grade -- they played the Oilers, I sat 4 rows from the ice, and the face value of the ticket was $21.00. <br /><br /> The purpose of the "New" NHL is to create new fans, but I figure people know hockey exist, and you either love or hate it. The coolest jerseys in the world, along with more powerplays, and making the game less violent isn't going to get new fans. We need hockey to go back to the mid 90's and earlier. I want: hard hits, battles for the puck in the corner and fights. Let me just say, as a student of hockey I know checking and fighting aren't the only parts of the game, but they are two very important parts of the game. The romans had the christians and the lions, let us have checks and fisticuffs. <br /><br />Here's remembering the good ol' days:<br /><br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q8K7roZu3WU"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q8K7roZu3WU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DR-ZgMz3FIU"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DR-ZgMz3FIU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aqe8wlQ2ybU"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aqe8wlQ2ybU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SweXHT8mCM0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SweXHT8mCM0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lBmGDZZdwiM"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lBmGDZZdwiM" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br /><a href="http://del.icio.us/post" onclick="window.open('http://del.icio.us/post?v=4&noui&jump=close&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title), 'delicious','toolbar=no,width=700,height=400'); return false;"> add to del.icio.us</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665582.post-11580144790943345902007-01-22T23:16:00.000-05:002007-01-22T23:18:17.540-05:00Ricky Gervais + Bible = Funny<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/E_EXqdJ4L7I"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/E_EXqdJ4L7I" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br /><a href="http://del.icio.us/post" onclick="window.open('http://del.icio.us/post?v=4&noui&jump=close&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title), 'delicious','toolbar=no,width=700,height=400'); return false;"> add to del.icio.us</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665582.post-86930763358739126372007-01-20T01:18:00.000-05:002007-01-20T01:20:14.370-05:00Fair and Balance My ArseFox News pretty much calls Barrack Obama a <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2007/01/19/fox-obama-madrassa/">terrorist.</a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://del.icio.us/post" onclick="window.open('http://del.icio.us/post?v=4&noui&jump=close&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title), 'delicious','toolbar=no,width=700,height=400'); return false;"> add to del.icio.us</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665582.post-40065037869448389892007-01-16T13:08:00.000-05:002007-01-16T13:47:45.901-05:00We are No Longer SafeWith the 4 hour premier of 24 airing yesterday and Sunday, the fiancee and myself are no longer safe. Coming late to the party as some would say, I started watching season 1 of 24 back in September, then with 4 episodes to go in season 2 Melissa join in on the JBPH. Now, four months later, 4 whole seasons in the bag, we are playing with a loaded gun. Not a loaded gun that shoots bullets, mind you, we are playing with a gun loaded with 24 spoilers. <br /><br />The first couple of months had been easy. 24 was months away from premiering its 6th season, it wasn't really on anybody's mind. Then December came. Every time we turned on Fox, whether it was for the Simpsons, an Eagles game, or some other crap, we had to advert our eyes and scream to prevent ourselves from seeing an advertisement for 24. I like to think we were succesful in not viewing any unwanted spoilage, but I know deep in my heart that I saw things that were not meant for me to see. <br /><br />Now, the first four hours of season six has premiered and we are just about to start Season 5 (if it weren't for the netflix's use of the USPS we would be up to date). The next few weeks are going to be hard. While we take in the glory that is and will be season five, the rest of the world is taking in the Bauerness that is season six. Our friends and family no not to say anything to us (I'm looking at you grandmom), but I'm more afraid of the accidental spoils. For example, a few minutes ago I was sitting at my cubicle minding my own damn business when I hear "Jack", "last night," "awesome." The insensitive twits on the other side of my cubicle were talking about 24. I wanted to yell, "SPOILER ALERT!", but instead I shoved my earbuds into my skull and frantically pushed play on my ipod. The sudden pain the loud music provided was a fine deterrent of the spoils, but I'm afraid. <br /><br />I am afraid of what will happen when I'm at the gym and don't have my headphones when some punks start discussing Jack's latest killing spree, what I am suppose to do then. I would like to think I would react fast enough and drop the closest 45-pound plate on my head and knock myself out, but what if it takes too long to bludgeon myself unconscious?<br /><br />The next few weeks will be a challenge, but a challenge, through the lessons learned from Jack Bauer, I welcome. I will shoot down and torture any possible spoiler like a dirty terrorist or a CTU mole. But being only a man, and not Jack Bauer, I have fears. <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://del.icio.us/post" onclick="window.open('http://del.icio.us/post?v=4&noui&jump=close&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title), 'delicious','toolbar=no,width=700,height=400'); return false;"> add to del.icio.us</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665582.post-85152344050568457002007-01-15T21:24:00.000-05:002007-01-15T21:26:16.546-05:00Sweet Jebus!I really hope this is real. <a href="http://www.aintitcool.com/node/31247">Ghostbusters video game</a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://del.icio.us/post" onclick="window.open('http://del.icio.us/post?v=4&noui&jump=close&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title), 'delicious','toolbar=no,width=700,height=400'); return false;"> add to del.icio.us</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665582.post-24133227598389762672007-01-14T23:39:00.000-05:002007-01-14T23:40:38.713-05:00Wow.

He no longer represents a myth bigger than a person, he doesn't represent death incarnate. He's just an average psycho in a mask. There's nothing special to him anymore.</blockquote><br /><br /><a href="http://www.aintitcool.com/?q=node/31221">This</a> review of Rob Zombie's "Halloween" script is very disappointing. Much like the reviewer, I was somewhat looking forward to the "re-imaging" of the Halloween movie. But if the script he reviewed is in fact the final script, this movie is going to bad.<br /><br /><a href="http://del.icio.us/post" onclick="window.open('http://del.icio.us/post?v=4&noui&jump=close&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title), 'delicious','toolbar=no,width=700,height=400'); return false;"> add to del.icio.us</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665582.post-18189968281834160732007-01-10T11:26:00.000-05:002007-01-10T13:53:20.484-05:00I HAVE THE POWER!!!!!!!!Comcast is my bitch. Allow me to explain: July, 2006, I become a home owner. Being the internet junkie that I am, and trying to save money, the fiancee and I forgo cable TV and just get broadband. Being in Philly we have one of two choices, the ever growing and evil Comcast, or the evil and ever growing Verizon. We go with Comcast simply because we have past experience with them.<br /><br />Within a week of moving into our new home our internet is connected. Comcast, for the first 3 months will charge us $19.99 a month, after those 3 months it will be jacked up to the normal, one-service fee (meaning we don't have tv or phone through them) of 56 or so dollars a month, I'm not having that. <br /><br />August. September. October.<br /><br />It's three months later, a couple days before my $19.99 a month honeymoon comes to an end. I had this planned all along: I'm going to call Comcast and threaten to go to Verizon because they are offering their service for $34.99 a month. I call, I am transferred to a manager. A few minutes later I come out somewhat victorious:$34.99 a month, for the next 3 months. <br /><br />November. December. January.<br /><br />It's another 3 months later, yesterday. My $34.99 deal runs out at the beginning of next week, again I place a call to Comcast. I tell them I would like to cancel because Verizon has a better deal. The woman on the phone tells me, "Well, we already gave you $34.99 for three months, we can't give it to you again." I stick to my guns, I tell them to cancel it. My service with Comcast will end in five days. Fearing what life will be like without the internet, I immediately call Verizon. I setup everything, for $34.99 a month I am a new Verizon customer. Naked DSL, here I come. <br /><br />Today, January 10, 2007. At about 10:30 AM, Eastern Standard time, I receive a call on my cell phone from a number I don't know. Being at work and not in the mood to be hassled I send it to my voice-mail. A few minutes later my phone vibrates , I have a new message. "You have one new message. *BEEP* Hi, this is blah-blah with Comcast, I'm just calling about your cancelled service. If you are interested, we are offering the low-price of $12.95. If you are interested please call me back at blah-blah-blah." <br /><br />I contemplate waiting to call so I don't seem too interested, but I don't. Feeling like I just won a major award I immediatly call-back the "Account Specialist." A few minutes later I am the proud owner of boardband cable for $9.95 a month plus $3.00 modem rental for a year, yeah, that's right, your eyes did not fail you: one year. <br /><br />I don't know how Comcast came to that figure, they must have recognized my powers of grayskull. How they went from $56.99 a month to $12.95 a month I don't know, maybe they saw me working out at the gym. Either way, I don't care, I'm the Pimp and Comcast works for me. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://del.icio.us/post" onclick="window.open('http://del.icio.us/post?v=4&noui&jump=close&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title), 'delicious','toolbar=no,width=700,height=400'); return false;"> add to del.icio.us</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1
