(SORRY FOR THE AD)

But you and I both know it's worth the wait. Damn CBS. They need to get onboard with hulu or some online vid portal.

"There, there....Sheldon is here."

Classic! Love it!

Ladies and gentlemen...level 34.

(bowing, bowing, bowing)

Thank you.


We are the champions my friend....
And we'll keep on fighting till the end.
We are the champions. We are the champions.
No time for losers 'cause we are the champions
of the world.

I've taken my bows and my curtain calls.
You brought me fame and fortune and ev'rything that goes with it,
I thank you all.
But it's been no bed of roses, no pleasure cruise.
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
and I ain't gonna lose.

We are the champions my friend....
And we'll keep on fighting till the end.
We are the champions. We are the champions.
No time for losers 'cause we are the champions
of the world!!!!!

Just another testimonial (albeit a hilarious one...) to how Microsoft can't do hardware. Just like Sam's ordeal (http://mainematt.posterous.com/red-ring-of-deathlive-account-hacked-bad-luck) those sons of bitches have probably made more money off the damn $100-post red ring warranty than the console itself.

If you haven't stumbled on this it is a MUST READ. Stop whatever you are doing, honestly - if you are delivering a baby right now STOP. Go read comments.

The bossman just found this old picture of me at Edinburgh Castle when I was studying abroad in college. I lived in Alsager, England for 3 1/2 months...picture the sleepiest little town in England, insert three small pubs, one cubicle-sized grocery and one college campus and that's where I lived. We were 2 hours by bus and train to Manchester and 3 hours to Liverpool. This pic was taken by my best buddy Charlie who came out to visit with other friend Jess. We ate haggis that night and drank Guiness in The Last Drop Pub. Those...my friends..."those were the days".

Thanks Matt for finding that picture and thanks to Charlie and Jess for coming to see me all the way across the pond.

Notice how skinny I am there...eek! I had to survive on fish and chips! (alot of chips)

Have you ever thought about how shows like Jon and Kate Plus 8 (soon to be just Kate Plus 8) make the movie The Truman Show into reality? All that's missing is the enormous hypertech dome and city of actors. But in spirit, the Truman show has arrived on our doorstep.

Sie Deen and I were trying to open a jar of pasta sauce whose lid was on really tight last night. And I mean, tight like I've never encountered before. It was hard to get a grip on it, but I did once and I felt like I almost threw out my shoulder as a tried to twist it open. This is the first time in my adult life I've encountered an object I wanted to open where all my physical strength was to no avail.

We eventually decided that we were not going to be able to open it with brute force alone. Sie Deen went looking for something rubber to grip the jar with, but I started thinking about physics. If I could heat the top of the jar, theoretically it would expand relative to the glass which would heat more slowly, insulated as it was by the jar top itself. The stove fire was kind of dangerous, but luckily because of my aforementioned wife I have another useful tool around the house for heating things up.

So I called Sie Deen to get her hair dryer, plugged it in, and shot it at the top of the jar for forty seconds. After the cap was hot, I twisted it off quite easily. In addition to loosening the lid's grip on the glass, the hair dryer had also evaporated all the condensation from the cold metal, so it was of twofold benefit.

Next time you need to open a difficult to open jar, pull out that hair dryer.

This is great stuff. The damn toilet must cost a fortune...now what if you wave to a friend in the next stall and the sensor sees it...all the sudden your ass is being dragged around in circles. It might even be like the crocs on the escalators thing...vedy vedy dangerous...you'll get sucked in!

Here you go bucky.
