I’ve spent many a sleepless night staring at the screen of my TRaSh-80 writing BASIC wondering exactly how/why Radio Shack still exists. There can’t be that many electrical engineering students out there who are rushing to the mall at 8:30 pm to try to find parts to build an ill-designed power amplifier before their 9:40 am class. Who shops there the rest of the day? “I’d like to capitalize on Read More ...

Heard this disclaimer as read by Boortz…hilarious! Nineteen seconds of commercial, followed by a lot of disclaimer, followed by another 20 seconds or so of commercial. It may be safer just to keep smoking. It reminds me of the old SNL Happy Fun Ball commercial: Kid 1: It’s happy! Kid 2: It’s fun! All Three Kids: It’s Happy Fun Ball! Announcer: Yes, it’s Happy Fun Ball! The toy sensation that’s Read More ...

It’s days like today when I reminisce about all the times I visited the Wal-Mart Super Center in Alcoa. Oh the things I saw and heard.. “Upon getting the cell phone to ‘unlock’ and work properly, the Wal-Mart employee saw a picture on the phone of a female subject that was topless and whose breasts were exposed,” the report said. At that point, the man who brought the cell phone Read More ...
I’ve been vaguely aware of all of the hype and discussion going on over the past couple of weeks. The outrage has been hard to ignore, even without having cable TV. But learning that Lebron has joined Kevin Nash and Scott Hall as one of the founding members of the NWO…well, I may have to find a way to watch Dubya See Dubya again on Monday nights for Nitro! When Read More ...
The SIL sent me a link to this site which lets you sign up to have your name included on a microchip that will be sent to Mars on a rover.

Senate lawmakers in Florida have voted to ban the fake bull testicles that dangle from the trailer hitches of many trucks and cars throughout the state. No word on whether or not it will remain legal to dangle real bull testicles from a trailer hitch. I, for one, will not complain. These are the things lawmakers should concern themselves with, Read More ...

For instance, “we expect our own galaxy and Andromeda to merge in about 4 billion years or so,” Bluck explained. “If this ends up providing new gas reserves and channeling this gas to the center of our galaxy — all big ifs — then there is a real chance of triggering our dormant black hole at some point in the distant future.” A few questions: What did we do Read More ...
