I at one point (and still do, to some extent) had to block external linking to images on my site because it was sucking up a pile of my bandwidth. At least when I saw people stealing the images, I was nice enough to not replace them with gay porn. The story (from b3ta) behind the images? “Someone bought a CD from me, and has been making copies of it to sell on eBay. Unlucky thing is, he stole my ENTIRE listing and HOTLINKED the images… what else could I do?” As Yoda might say, sweet revenge, that is.

That’s Going To Sting A Bit
But I have to say, if you’re going to run around showing your johnson in public and then ignore police officers request to stop, you had it coming, and if this sterilizes you, all the better.
A naked man was accidentally shocked in the genitals by a Taser after he was found breaking windows and asking women to touch him inappropriately, police said.

One of the Taser prongs accidentally hit Miljour’s genitals and got stuck, said Cpl. Matt Chitwood.
Thanks Barn for the link.
The World’s Ugliest Dog is Dead
That nasty dog that I linked to a while back has died and Right Wing Conspirator has a picture of the runner-up who now leads the way.
Did You Need Another Cheeseburger, Fatty?
That was just one suggestion for a well done (but short lived) prank on a not-so-well guarded McDonalds sign.
On a sort of related note, dinking around on this same site you’ll find an interesting section (that isn’t actually safe for work unless you have a fairly liberal boss) on a lady that used to spend a lot of time on the Bend.com forums. Let’s just say they’re not all that happy with each other, but it is an entertaining read.
Tim O’Reilly is a Jackass
That’s basically the premise behind Simone’s well spoken rant. All the power to you, Simone, and I’d like to see him enforce that no compete agreement.
Best Headline Of The Week
This story is just loaded with bad puns: “Orgasm Day appreciated by all comers.”
How The UPS Automated Phone System Interprets Swearing
I don’t know if you have used UPS’ automated phone system (800-PICK-UPS), but it uses voice commands to navigate around the various menus in the system to ship a package. There’s a point in the process that it asks for the destination city and state. My co-worker was going through the process when somebody accidently dropped something on my co-worker during that point of the conversation and she said “Oh, s**t!” The automated system on the other end responds with “Did you mean Seattle, Washington?”
I have to say, I got a kick out of that, but I’m easily amused.
Anybody not at work (or at work with a bit more breathing room between you and the front desk) and feel like swearing up a storm to see how it interprets other vulgarities?
How To Know Your Girlfriend’s Cheating On You With A Geek
There are 11 tell-tale signs, like “Googling your name turns up a domain called www.imdoing(your significant other’s name).com.” and “You find a pair of pointy ears in the “sex toys” box.”
No, That Isn’t My Blog
But I can’t say that I disagree with anything Snarky Bend has to say. The writing there is hilarious, and brings out some of the atitude that I think all of us wish we could get away with. Whoever’s running that site, e-mail me privately, man, as I’m curious as to who the hell you are (anonymity guaranteed). Just the same, you’ve been added to BendBlogs.
Welcome To Bend, Now Go Home
(Jake Note: I’ve been terribly swamped with work projects, and with my laptop out of commission for another week or so, blogging is going to be light until I get it back — hopefully sooner than later, as I’m going nuts without a computer on my side at all times).
One of the most neglected things I’ve ever done was my lame attempt to create a CafeShops store (here’s my old one, which will probably go dead soon). Inspired by TheDren’s “Katrina Relief” shirt, I threw together a few items worth buying: Basically, they’re T-Shirts on how I’m sure everybody around here feels about the tourists (especially those of us that work with them) in yellow, white or black. Feel free to do some Christmas shopping for your tourist-serving friends, and I’ll be coming up with some more locally-appropriate shirts at some point down the road.
