This isn’t your daddy’s Super Chicken

First I wonder what would possess somebody to build something like this. Then, I wonder what the hell my friends are searching for on the Internet that they would end up finding it… I don’t know if this is the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen, but, it’s certainly up there…

Be sure to try the following commands:
sit in the chair
hop on one leg
dance around
lay on the couch
remove your mask (my personal favorite)

Hooked on Pac-Man all over again!

Namco 5-in-1 game systemCruising through the toy aisle at Walmart this past weekend, I went ahead and bought this Namco 5-in-1 game system. You simply plug the RCA jacks in to your TV and bang-zoom, you are playing Pac-Man, Rally-X, Galaxian, Dig Dug or Bosconian. I am absolutely hooked on Pac-Man again. I grew up with the game and now it’s back to get under my skin all over again.

I used google to search for the Pac-Man Pattern. While I found several that had some excellent illistrations, none of the patters actually work. If anybody knows of a place to get the Pac-Man pattern for the Namco 5-in-1 version of Pac-Man, please let me know!

Euphemisms

You can make just about anything sound dirty… Take any verb (ending in “ing”) and noun, put the word “the” in the middle and you have come up with your own euphemism… But, to save you the trouble, I’ve made it a little easier for ya!. So, now, go have fun “dusting the kitten”.

Another reason my doctor’s office staff is dumb!

The other day while I was at the Dr.’s office they had a little sign folded out of an 8.5×11 piece of paper. It was just an arrow that said “Exit” underneath. You could tell somebody had gone to clipart.com and just donwloaded the image and printed it out… Oh, I think it was so easy to tell that they had gone to clipart.com was because they had used one of the larger images that actually had the CLIPART.COM watermark on it…
What a bunch of morons!!!

The 10 Worst Album Covers of All Time

Oh Man!! There are definitely some chuckles to be had here. The funny part is, when I first loaded the page, I thought I was seeing the #1 worst off all time. But, turns out it was actually number #10 on the list and they just kept getting better (worse, funnier, etc.) as you scroll. Check em out for yourself. (the page loads a bit slowly)

News Flash!!! Here are 10 more!

Happy Tree Friends

A little more cute and cuddley than the Garbage Pail Kids, but, just as gross. Here come the Happy Tree Friends! My kids are big fans (which makes me all warm and fuzzy inside) of these adorable little animated scamps (that just might use an electric drill on the back of one of the other character’s heads…) I don’t want to give too much away. Just go and watch a video or two. You’ll be instantly hooked.

Google Anwers

If you only use Google for searching the internet, you are missing out on many great features. Being able to search for images of a certain type is greatly helpful. The Google tool bar (for IE users only) has a pop-up blocker plus a page relevance meter that make it very useful, too.

While checking out some of the extra features (which can be found here) , I recently found Google Answers. Rather than having to go and do a bunch of research on any subject, figure out how much you would be willing to pay for the information, ask your question and (usually) within a few hours you’ll have your answer. I know what you may be thinking, why not just use Google.com to do the searching yourself. Well, if you have every tried to track down the exact cause for a specific error message, you know it can be a VERY time consuming task. And, if somebody else has already done the research, wouldn’t it be better to shell out $5.00 and save yourself the time and frustration? I certainly think so. At this point, I haven’t had any questions worth submitting, but, I enjoyed reading some of the computer software questions posted on the site. You should at least check it out.

Reasons to switch to the Mozilla Firefox browser

I’m in the process of switching to Mozilla. I’ve been stuck on IE for so long because that’s what has been THE standard for so long and since I do web based programming and that’s what clients are typically using, it makes sence to make sure your work looks good using IE.

But, as I’m looking to make the switch, here are some Reasons to switch to the Mozilla Firefox browser.

Double or nothing

When I go to the casino, I’m going for entertainment. It’s like going to the movies to me. Nothing more. I enjoy all the aspects. Watching people get excited when they win is a lot of fun. Watching people lose also has it’s entertainment value. If you go to the casino thinking that you are going to strike it rich, you are gambling for all the wrong reasons.

In this guy’s case, I think it’s a little bit different. I think he’s just a mental case. He’s sold all his worldly possesions and is heading to the casino to place a single wager for all his money. To me, that’s just insane. But, I guess if you have no wife or kids to look after, anybody could build back up from nothing if push came to shove.

UPDATE!
Here’s the follow up. The guy put it all on the line. Can you say “Lucky number 7″? He bet it all on red and it hit. He did not let it ride after that and walked away with $270,000. Lucky bastard!

Software ‘ATMs’ shell out programs

It pains me to think that CompUSA is the one who’s leading this charge since I hate them so much. But, I really think this is a cool idea. They have interactive vending machines that allow you to choose the software you want and then it burns it to CD on your way out the door. I think this has some great upside, but, I don’t know if it’s something that will fly. With more and more people getting access to broadband, why not just purchase the software online from the original manufacturer? That’s fine if you know exactly what you are looking for , but, I could certainly see how something like this would work if there was a feature database on the backend that allowed you to sort titles based on the features you needed.

It’ll be interesting to see if this takes off or not.
