I still remember when I was in high school and got hooked up to the Web in the mid 90s. I had almost forgotten how bad some of those Web sites were back then.
Cats Are Killers
Or at least Jeff is, and Jeff’s owner has created a blog chronicling all the things that his cat has killed.
The Lie Clock
A co-worker sent me this one…
A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, “What are all those clocks?”
St. Peter answered, “Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move.”
“Oh,” said the man, “Whose clock is that?”
That’s Nelson Mandela’s. The hands have never moved, indicating that he never told a lie.”
Incredible,” said the man. “And whose clock is that one?”
St. Peter responded, “That’s Abraham Lincoln’s clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life.”
Where’s Bush’s clock?” asked the man.
St. Peter responded, “Bush’s clock is in Jesus’ office. He’s using it as a ceiling fan.”
Local Four-Year-Old Beaten To Death By Step Dad
Oh good lord this is just disturbing. If the guy is found guilty, I hope he fries for this.
Bend Makes The National News Again
This time a travel article (wow, Bend a travel destination? Who would’ve thunk it) in the LA Times (BugMeNot required). Thanks Kina for the link.
Actually, I prefer Bend to be known as a “travel” destination not a “transplant from California, move in permanently, destroy the small-town feel” destination. As much as I gripe about tourists, at least tourists eventually leave.
This certainly might be another time to plug my “Welcome To Bend” t-shirts.
Any Interest in a Local Web Developer/Designer Usergroup?
I know Jon and I floated the idea of a PHP user group a while back, but it never came to be, probably because of its too specialized of focus. However, a broader usergroup that encompassed web development as a whole might not be a bad idea. Any takers?
Everybody’s Got A Talent
This man’s is his ability to paint with his penis. NSFW-ish.
Thanks Cheryl for the link.
Another Moron For The Day
While this was pretty bad, this was even worse:
WESTLAKE, Ohio (AP) — A bar waitress checking to see if a woman was legally old enough to drink was handed her own stolen driver’s license, which was reported missing weeks earlier, police said.
“The odds of this waitress recovering her own license defy calculation,” police Capt. Guy Turner said Monday.
Roller Skating and Booze?
re-live those junior high skate parties! come skate and dance the night away with the renegade rollergirls friday, august 4 at the central oregon indoor sports center (20795 high desert lane) starting at 8 p.m. admission is $3 or $6.50 with skate rental. drinks will be provided for those 21 and over. all ages and skate levels are welcome.
I’m busy on the 4th, otherwise I’d be there, if mostly to make fun of drunken roller skaters. I wouldn’t put on skates as I’m a horrible roller skater — coordination is not something I’m blessed with.
