I was really sorry about all the pain Mike was in tonight. It kept him from coming out to the westside to see a movie. Carol and I went home and watched The Wonderful World of Louis Armstrong from netflix. It was simply amazing!! All his amazing music, hearing how one of the two things he always travelled with was Swiss Kriss laxative, and this incredible video footage. Everyone needs to see this!

This is not political correctness; this is a joke! We sing about ten little indian boys. What about the poor forgotten indian girls?

And, I clearly watch too little cspan. I learned this morning the House of Representatives says the pledge of allegiance every day.

Years ago, Gary (the missing pal who hasn’t returned a phone call or an email in a while!!), Dan and I absolutely loved a little RPG called Paranoia by West End Games. Give us a good mission, 6 clones and fresh donuts @ 3 am and we could play forever. I found this non-existant Paranoia site and the Paranoia Live site.

Semaphore is a childhood memory for me. Reading the World Book encylopedia, I often found the pages just flopping open to this section. Years later, my web browser seems to flop open to Semaphore Ninja! Banzai!

I’ve got 3 more movies to catch up on, but I didn’t want to continue with movie after movie. So, to show that I do occasionally get a chance to read something funny on the net, be sure to check out Dilbert’s Ultimate House. Dilbert is always good for a laugh.

Well, maybe not a microscope. I didn’t bother to read all the background on how it’s done. All I know, thanks to MC’s EW review, is these images of drinks like Tequila Sunrise are pretty amazing. Check out the whole cocktail collection.

I didn’t want to post this too close to sysadmin day, but guys!! Come on! You manage eVoting servers and you lost your backups!! Good ‘ol Florida.

I love blondestar (mp3 file)

Does four of a kind beat a flush? Hmm. I think it does. Oh yeah it does! Maybe a flush beats a flush according to these guys? Nope, strange. Oh, wait. Over here is a list of “almost universally accepted hands”. I’m sure they’ll have a flush beating 4 of a kind. Oh, wait. The 4 of a kind does beat a flush here too. Whatever. I just glad I still have 30 minutes of my Friday night to enjoy with Carol!

I think I’ve seen this before, but this version uses big bubble wrap and has a better sound effects. snaps to iendo! Late Breaking News – Be sure to get at least one “Fresh Sheet”.
