Rating: 3 - Link to this Article 04-07-2004 I'm (not) lovin it! View Webcam for 04-07-2004 4 COMMENTS
Not Lovin It About a month ago I started singing the latest idiotic (and blatently targeted) McDonalds slogan over and over in my head. It was on it's way to being etched into my subconsciousness when I found myself singing it only while debugging code. The self defense mechanism of my mind had turned the evil jingle into a sarcastic commentary. Now I consciously chant it when something goes wrong and everyone gets the joke. While the Quizno's commercials stuck with the public because they were flat out funny, the McDonald commercials stick in your head because you're left struggling to find a point. Extremes are definitely the most effective marketing tool.

Fuckin' a. Anyways, now that my Absolut-inspired ass has managed to navigate the difficulty of your comment-adding utilities, I have this to say: FUCK Quiznos. As a resident of Ann Arbor, I can say with 100% certainty that Quiznos has completely ripped off JIMMY JOHN'S advertising campaign, mainly targeted at stoned college-aged youths. And it's not working out here. In fact, as a member of the Ann Arbor community, I am nowhere near reluctant to declare that QUIZNOS SUCKS. Who the fuck wants to pay another $3 just for the poor sap behind the counter to put your damn sandwich onto a slowly moving toaster device. Pointless. I would rather have my nuttsack properly emptyed by a Bangledeshi immigrant. Not that that's a bad thing. In fact, if anyone wants to alleviate the pressure in my scrotum, please e-mail me, BOBAWITZ@HOTMAIL.COM

Today was yet another blustery day, but instead of hiding inside we decided to go fly a kite! Unfortunately the string we used was not suited for the wind speed and broke frequently. Thanks to Melissa the kite repair turnaround time was minimal. We decided to head to the dollar store for some upgraded string in preperation for the next blustery day. When we returned, we found an exciting addition to the favored spot for random pooping.

Watching broadcast TV for more than 20 minutes will result in at least one advertisement for a drug you need to be taking or a health problem you may have "but might not even know it!" Clearly, we are a nation of potential health problems just waiting to happen. The only way to delay your inevitible sickness and/or death is to take the advertised drugs as often as recommended. Since I'm a sugar junkie, I'm clearly a high risk for diabetes. However, I took this test that says otherwise. Unwilling to accept that I'm not at high risk for at least one major health problem I decided to ignore the results and continue my regiment of sugar in the hopes that I'll soon be dependant on insulin. Any volunteers willing to inject me in the ass?

Rating: 3 - Link to this Article 03-24-2004 Frankenbot View Webcam for 03-24-2004 1 COMMENT
Steve came over tonight for some Lego Mindstorm entertainment. We wound up building the Frankenbot, a sick and perverted vehicle that defied all structural engineering rules. Surprised it held together, we let it loose downstairs to torment my cat. The sheer hideousness (and massive rear spoiler) prompted the cat to run for the safety of the basement immediately. Victorious, the Frankenbot wandered around aimlessly. It was a formidable machine but soon realized it had no real enemy and sadly destroyed itself. Although the death of the Frankenbot was sad, it did entertain us for the better part of an hour, and proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that my cat is a whimp.

Boxelder Bugs Last fall I came home to an entire side of my house covered with these little monsters. The next morning they were gone, or so I thought. Throughout the winter I spotted more and more boxelder bugs in various places around my house. I finally found a high concentration near my basement window, and pulled aside a board to reveal their lair. I quickly vacuumed about 80 of them and dumped them in the snow. I did this a few more times (yes there were that many) and they finally started to thin out. Thinking I had won, I forgot about them until about a week ago. Once again they are showing up in various places and this time I'm on a mission. Fortunately this very informative site has some good ammunition for me to try. If the GnomeCam cuts out in the next week it probably means they won.

I recently discovered the joy of ER Diagrams with Visio 2003. With no artistic ability whatsoever I was able to create a representation of our server environment at work. Not satisfied with the number of icons I was able to use, I decided to create an overly detailed diagram of my home network. And now you know how this page got to your screen.

Today I recieved a generous gift from my associate Duane. Out of respect for the gnome I decided to take a side shot, but I assure you he has a very healthy rear on full display. Now my disturbing gnome has someone to keep him company. It's unfortunate my neighborhood has such a high gnome theft rate or I'd proudly display them all on my front porch for the world to enjoy.

Four inches of snow fell today, ironically 4 days before the official start of spring. I used to enjoy winter weather, and towards the end of summer I usually look forward to it. This winter started late and I have a feeling it's going to drag on. An associate of mine who resides 1200 miles south has been enticing me with tales of year round warm weather. The 4-5 months I lose each year to cold weather could be put to good use if I relocate. One can dream.

Ok, let's go!

Stavos

enorym
there's also millions of cockroaches and bugs year round down south Myrone.
Stavos
They're actually Palmeto bugs and its hardly rained here since last summer and the summer rains aren't really that bad because they're scattered.

Enter a Comment I noticed in this post that Tim went from "friend" to "associate" and I'm a little worried that my current "wife" status may be in jeopardy. Perhaps "associate" was just a mis-characterization? I hope so!
