Spider Man 3?!?
They’ve already announced that Spider Man 3 is scheduled to be released in May, 2007. Francis says that since they haven’t started shooting the movie yet, right now the trailer merely consists of a guy dancing around wearing Underoos. Or something like that…
White House.org Patriotic Posters
Oh man have I had a busy, crappy day here at work, but when I finally had a chance to look through my RSS reader and saw this on Ken’s site, I have to say I feel much better. WhiteHouse.org has a priceless selection of posters for politically incorrect in all of us. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. And like Ken said, if you want to buy anything from my UtterlyBoring.com store, feel free :-).
I filed my first BBB complaint
I’ve never had to resort to it, but I had to file a complaint against a company today for being complete jackasses and not working with me at all. I mentioned earlier that I was having trouble with an auction on eBay. After several months, getting a circle jerk like you wouldn’t believe, I have filed a complaint with the Houston Better Business Bureau. It’s not a lot of money (all told, items and shipping charges back and forth ran about $60), but it’s the principle of the thing: You can’t treat customers like dirt and expect to get away with it. Regardless, my full complaint is in the extended entry of this post.
Meanwhile, I’m looking for (and selling) some computer parts again, because I had my original guy that I was buying ECC RAM from decide to bail on me. I’m also selling some parts as well (a few hubs, some PIIIs, and a few DLT tapes). Since I don’t really want to maintain the list in two places, check out my Anandtech forum post and let me know if you can help me out.
That’s one way to sell a car
Make sure that when you sell a car on eBay, you bitch about your ex-boyfriend — a lot.
SpongeBob: The Movie
I know I can’t be the only full-grown man that thinks the show is hilarious and would actually go see a movie version of it, can I? OK, maybe I am the only one. Thanks to Heaneyland for the tip.
Mel or Monty?
Monty Python’s ‘Life of Brian’ to be reissued, playing off the popularity of ‘The Passion of the Christ’. I would love to see this on the big screen! Thanks Les for the tip.
The Athletic Hooker
Joke from Shasta Bob…
A man met a beautiful lady and he decided he wanted to marry her right away.
She protested, “But we don’t know anything about each other.”
He replied, “That’s all right; we’ll learn about each other as we go along.”
So she consented, and they were married, and went on a honeymoon to a very nice resort.
One morning, they were lying by the pool when he got up off his towel, climbed up to the 10 meter board and did a two and a half tuck gainer, entering the water perfectly, almost without a ripple.
This was followed by a three rotations in jackknife position before he again straightened out and cut the water like a knife. After a few more demonstrations, he came back and lay down on his towel.
She said, “That was incredible!”
He said, “I used to be an Olympic diving champion.
You see, I told you we’d learn more about ourselves as we went along.”
So she got up, jumped in the pool and started doing laps.
She was moving so fast that the froth from her pushing off at one end of the pool would hardly be gone before she was already touching the other end of the pool.
She did laps in freestyle, breast stroke, even butterfly!
After about thirty laps, completed in mere minutes, she climbed back out and lay down on her towel, barely breathing hard.
He said, “That was incredible! Were you an Olympic endurance swimmer?”
“No, she said, ‘I was a hooker in Memphis and I worked both sides of the Mississippi River.”
Yo Momma Insults for Coders
Among the gems: “Yo momma’s butt’s so wide, she needs a 64-bit bus” and “Yo momma’s so ugly, she makes me pine for old FrontPage code.” This was part two of the original Top 11 Yo Mamma Insults for Coders.
Yes, I’m here
My host moved their servers to a better datacenter last night, and it didn’t go as smoothly as planned, so the site is just now back up this morning. Everything should be working fine, but if you see anything that’s not working quite right, let me know.
