35 Years Ago This Week

According to Billboard Magazine, Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull was the Number 1 album for this week in 1972. Released in England during April of 1972, Thick as a Brick got as high as the number five spot, but when it came out in America a month later, it hit the number one spot, making it the first Jethro Tull album to achieve greater popularity in America than in England.

The Kaye Effect

The Kaye Effect is a strange property of complex liquids which was first described by the British engineer Alan Kaye in 1963.

While pouring one viscous mixture of an organic liquid onto a surface, the surface suddenly spouted an upcoming jet of liquid which merged with the downgoing one.

This phenomenon has since been discovered to be common in all thixotropic liquids (liquids which thin under shear stress). Common household liquids with this property are liquid hand soaps, shampoos and non-drip paint. The effect usually goes unnoticed, however, because it seldom lasts more than about 300 milliseconds.

Ricky Jay

Ricky Jay is one of those character actors you have seen a hundred times on TV and in movies but never knew who he was. Most recently he has played the CIA handler on The Unit. I can also remember seeing him on the X files. Anyway, he is also a whiz with a deck of playing cards, not only with the slight of hand stuff, but also throwing them. Couple of vids, first dealing from the bottom of the deck (watch it all, the end is amazing), then card throwing.

1000+ Hits !!!!

OK, so my little blog has over 1000 hits now! w00t!!!

I've been searching for something to post up to commemorate this auspicious event, and this one kinda fell into my lap.



Maxim Magazines HOT 100 issue hits the news stands this Saturday, and #29 Sarah Silverman is on the cover. In honor of that, I present to you a couple of Sarah Silverman clips.
Any of you that know her comedy, know that this is completely NSFW, but way to funny.

First one is at the roast of Pamela Anderson: (Viacom removed it from YouTube due to copyright infringement) Replaced with a few minutes of stand-up. Sorry.

SNL

Last night, NBC had a special on with the best of SNL from the 90's. These are 3 of my favorite moments from recent shows, not too sure if they are from the 90's or 2K's. The first one is an episode of Debbie Downer where no one could keep a straight face, the second is an interview of Paris Hilton by Jimmy Fallon, and the third is the famous "More Cowbell" skit.







OK, one more...

Was the Warren Commission part of the cover-up?

Over my lifetime, I have probably watched the Zapruder film dozens of times. It is interesting to hear and see some of the inconsistencies that this film points out. It is a bit over 9 minutes long, but certainly worth watching. Our government involved in a cover-up? C'mon...

The Great Global Warming Swindle

Accepted theories about man causing global warming are "lies" claims a controversial new TV documentary.

'The Great Global Warming Swindle' - backed by eminent scientists - is set to rock the accepted consensus that climate change is being driven by humans.

The programme, to be screened on Channel 4 on Thursday March 8, will see a series of respected scientists attack the "propaganda" that they claim is killing the world's poor.

Even the co-founder of Greenpeace, Patrick Moore, is shown, claiming African countries should be encouraged to burn more CO2.

Nobody in the documentary defends the greenhouse effect theory, as it claims that climate change is natural, has been occurring for years, and ice falling from glaciers is just the spring break-up and as normal as leaves falling in autumn.

A source at Channel 4 said: "It is essentially a polemic and we are expecting it to cause trouble, but this is the controversial programming that Channel 4 is renowned for."

Controversial director Martin Durkin said: "You can see the problems with the science of global warming, but people just don't believe you - it's taken 10 years to get this commissioned.

"I think it will go down in history as the first chapter in a new era of the relationship between scientists and society. Legitimate scientists - people with qualifications - are the bad guys.

"It is a big story that is going to cause controversy.

"It's very rare that a film changes history, but I think this is a turning point and in five years the idea that the greenhouse effect is the main reason behind global warming will be seen as total bollocks.

Say it isn't so

On St. Patricks day, I posted a video asking the question; What if the Beatles were Irish?

Today I pose to you the question; What if Black Sabbath played country?

*EDIT* These guys are called Hayseed Dixie and there are a ton of videos of their work on YouTube.

" you gotta watch them people from Belize, they'll shank ya"

Found a great site http://www.nationmaster.com that has a mortality statistic page. What are mortality statistics you may ask? You can see the death rate per million population for handguns, rifles & shotguns, beaten to death, assault by sharp objects, (hahaha remember Monty Python and the pointed stick) knife, sword, or dagger, (thats where the post title comes from) even death by acne (who knew?). Anyway, I guess my point is we have a lot of people in the USofA, so it just stands to reason that we have more wackos than other places. It's a shame that we as a nation are ostracized internationally for our stance on personal firearm ownership. Gun control is not the answer, law abiding citizens aren't out shooting their neighbors. It is those who break the laws, or have mental disorders, that shoot innocent people. And yes it is a shame when people (especially children) are accidentally shot by weapons that were not properly secured, IMO any person who leaves an unlocked loaded weapon where a child could access it should be held criminally liable.

Penn and Teller contest Gun Control on Bullshit!

Unspeakable Tragedy

Last Post on this subject...

The story that will not die. This morning on Talk Radio 950 AM KPRC in Houston, The Michael Berry show, a woman named Joyce called in towards the end of the 7 o'clock hour who made more sense than anything I have ever heard. The whole hour is worth a listen, but if you let it load, go to about 3/4 of the way down the slider you can hear Joyce.

Bravo

I am personally not a fan of Don Imus, but the way in which he was railroaded for a really bad attempt at humor by AS and JJ (I refuse to post their names and get ads featuring them). These 2 morally devoid excuses for human beings should be imprisoned for the hatred they spew. Jason Whitlock writes for the Kansas City Star and also AOL sports. His latest column on AOL, contains another video from CNN where Jason confronts AS. Of course, it is impossible to get a word in edgewise with AS on his pulpit, but Jason does a credible job.
Bravo Jason Whitlock!

My pirate name is:

Calico Tom Read

Often indecisive, you can't even choose a favorite color. You're apt to follow wherever the wind blows you, just like Calico Jack Rackham, your namesake. Even through many pirates have a reputation for not being the brightest souls on earth, you defy the sterotypes. You've got taste and education. Arr!

The other day my neighbor, who is blond, came running up to me in the driveway, just jumping for joy! I didn't know why she was jumping for joy but I thought, what the heck, and I starting jumping up and down along with her.
She said, " I have some really great news!"
I said, "Great! Tell me why you're so happy."
She stopped jumping, breathing heavily from all the jumping up and down, and told me that she was pregnant!
I knew that she had been trying for a while so I told her, "That's great! I couldn't be happier for you!"
Then she said, "There's more."
I asked, "What do you mean 'more'?"
She said, "Well, we are not having just one baby. We are going to have TWINS!"
Amazed at how she could know so soon after getting pregnant, I asked her how she knew. She said....
(You're going to love this!)

"Well, that was the easy part. I went to Wal-Mart and they actually had a home pregnancy kit in a twin-pack. Both tests came out positive!"

Worlds Smartest Dog?

HAHAHA

He snorted his Dad???

According to an article in NME Magazine, published today, Rolling Stones 63 year old guitarist Keith Richards is quoted as saying "The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father, he was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared," he said. "... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive."

*UPDATE* According to this article from MTV.com, his longtime manager Jane Rose claimed that it was "Said in jest," and "Can't believe anyone took [it] seriously."

Happy April Fools Day!!!

Here is a list of over 400 (and growing) sites that posted April Fool's jokes today. I submitted the joke that was perpetrated on GEWar. It was great fun to watch as the Flu Epidemic thread grew and people became increasingly frustrated over the past few days.

Wow...Just WOW

Neil Peart is the drummer for the band Rush. This is a vid from their 30th anniversary tour back in '04. Just another drum solo? The amazing thing about great drummers is the ability to have all 4 limbs work completely independently, this is a great example of this skill. The truly incredible part happens with about 2 minutes left to the video when he switches on the drum triggers (he uses Roland V-Drums) and reproduces an entire swing orchestra. WOW!

Ghetto Big Mac

'Nuff said?

Brother can't drive

Man o man, what a waste of a fine automobile. Only 400 Ferrari Enzo's were produced between 2002 and 2004. They are worth about $1.5 million a copy, looks like the value of the remaining ones just went up a little bit more.

Backflip... In a wheelchair!

Aaron Fotherinham is confined to a wheelchair, that didn't stop him from pestering his parents to bring him to the local skate park to hang out with his friends. Colours wheelchair built him a pretty slick rig so he could not only watch, but join it as well.

Is He???

The media is abuzz with the question of "Is Barack Obama black enough?" Our friends at SNL asked that very same question to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton...

Owner of a Lonely Heart... On Violin

Wow, I do appreciate good violin music, and the first 15 seconds or so of this vid really threw me, almost clicked it off but I'm sure glad that I didn't. Awesome bow work.

The Second Great Debate...

PERTH, Scotland, March 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In a formal invitation sent to former Vice-President Al Gore's Tennessee address and released to the public, Lord Monckton has thrown down the gauntlet to challenge Gore to what he terms "the Second Great Debate," an internationally televised, head-to-head, nation-unto-nation confrontation on the question, "That our effect on climate is not dangerous."


Finally someone willing to take this wacko down a few notches... Great quote from Lord Monckton "A careful study of the substantial corpus of peer-reviewed science reveals that Mr. Gore's film, An Inconvenient Truth, is a foofaraw of pseudo-science, exaggerations, and errors, now being peddled to innocent schoolchildren worldwide."

Tanks!

Best Friends Corner v2

OMG, I can't believe she had pictures...

As promised, yet another installation of the life and times of Jr. In my last blog, I mentioned a tradition called “Turkey Last Dance.” Apparently, this has caused quite a stir. Since several of you have asked Jr to describe what that is, I will now go into greater detail of the early times of “Turkey Last Dance.”
As a child, on Thanksgiving morning, my mother and I would dance around the kitchen with the bird before it went into the oven. It was still in the plastic, and we wrapped it in a kitchen towel (all you fellow germ-a-phobes, it’s o.k.) Well, a couple of years ago, I took this concept to a new level. I decided that the proper time to do this was the night before, aka Thanksgiving Eve. The tradition is as follows.
Everyone arrives and enjoys cocktails and hors d’oeuvres (yes folks, there is alcohol involved.) From there, we introduce the bird. We wrap it in a kitchen towel and pass it around so everyone can get to know the turkey, from there, we name it. One year we discovered it was a hen so we named it (what else?) Selma Salmonella. Last year we named the bird “Peaches” after my mother (I will not go there.)
After the ceremonial naming, the dancing begins. We play songs like “Last dance” , as well as other appropriate (and inappropriate tunes.) One year we had a conga line outside. This year, we bowled with Peaches. We set up water bottles for pins and down the hallway it went. (That was the most tender bird I’ve ever had.) When I tell people this story they look at me like I have nine heads, after all, who dances with dead poultry? But I have a feeling this is going to catch on, and others will soon be doing their own versions. Next year, we are planning something with a catapult, stay tuned, it’s going to be a hoot!

Speaking of Rehab

Best Friend’s Corner aka “Everything you wanted to know about Bob but were afraid to ask.”

OK, I sent my best friend a link to the blog and she has requested equal time... So I present to you, unedited her first in what she promises will be an ongoing soliloquy of the life and times of me... BTW, THE DUCK is my favorite pub/hangout.

When Bob first showed me his new website, I decided I could not go on silently. There are things the world should know about Bubby. We’ll start there. No one calls Bob “Bob.” It simply is not his name. 98% of the world calls him “Jr.” 1% (who are not in the know) call him Bob. 1% calls him “Bubby”, that 1% is me. So for all of you who now know, you will begin calling him “Jr.” It may seem strange at first, but trust me, he will respond.
That being said, you all need some background. Jr is from the north (Massachusetts to be exact) which makes him a Yankee. He’s still a great guy, but now you all know the truth. I would ask that you all still speak to him anyway. Jr was transplanted to Texas due to a tremendous job opportunity. I am now hoping he will open a diner. He makes the best beer battered fish I have ever had (and I’m not a girl that misses a lot of meals.) If any of you are reading this from THE DUCK, have him make you fish some time- outstanding!
I think I’ve given up enough for now. There is so much more to come. You see, Jr is a fascinating creature who has had many adventures. Future blogs will feature “Nights of buffoonery”, “The great freezer incident”, “Turkey Last Dance”, and “How to meet your best friend while on a survey.” Some of these tales will frighten you, some will astonish you, but I promise, they are all completely true.
Signed,
Bad Girl Jan San

One sunny day in 2008, an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Hillary Clinton." The Marine replied, "Sir, Mrs. Clinton is not President and doesn't reside here." The old man said, "Okay," and walked away.
The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Hillary Clinton". The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mrs. Clinton is not President and doesn't reside here."
The man thanked him and again walked away . . .
The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same Marine, saying "I would like to go in and meet with President Hillary Clinton." The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mrs. Clinton. I've told you already several times that Mrs. Clinton is not the President and doesn't reside here. Don't you understand?"
The old man answered, "Oh, I understand you fine, I just love hearing your answer!"
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said,
"See you tomorrow."

Need to feel better about polluting?

Carbon Offsets
The new liberal buzz words that should drive any rational thinking person absolutely insane. The premise is that you can be as ecologically irresponsible as you want to be as long as you donate to organizations that are not. IMO, this is just a way that those who would have us believe they care about global warming try to back door sheeple into believing their baloney.

Speaking of global warming, does anyone else remember the start of Earth Day back in the 70's? Does anyone else remember the signs warning of the impending ice age? The same junk science that 30 some odd years ago had us all freezing to death now has us melting. Pretty ironic.

GEWar

Welcome to the inaugural post of this blog. I am a member of staff for the greatest online game ever...a direct link to the game can be found at GEWar.net

GEWar, short for Google Earth War, is a free-to-play Browser-based Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game. It was created in August 2005 by Micky Mellen (the owner of Google Earth Hacks) as a way to show the power of Google Earth. In December 2005 the game was given to Lukas DeVries and moved to its own servers.
