Over two years ago, we staked claim to the
Myrone love tunnel in the BFBC2:Vietnam expansion.
It was a glorious time, and our defense of the tunnel was unbroken for many months. Time passed, and so did our time with BFBC2:V, but today I felt the need to
resurrect that glorious past. With the release of "End Game" for BF3, I decided to dedicate my rented server to those times gone by, and christned it
Myrones Love Tunnel. It was on this sever that I
confirmed the
End Game easter egg, and banned several players I did not approve of in the fine tradition of rented servers. Sadly, the man of honor only played for 1.5 rounds and was mute for the entire time due to "microphone issues." I fear he may be pulled back into the real world and leave the Battlefield forever.
Our little
Enorym (also known as
MYRN!) got all growed up today at his
wedding to Loida, the one woman in the world who can truly appreciate all that is Enorym. I was the candle holder, which meant I had to contain a candle in an orifice on my person until the proper time came in the wedding to light the candles that would light the unity candle. It all went off without a hitch at the
rehearsal, but when the actual
wedding came around my fellow candle holder and I decided we would light the unity candle for them. Fortunately George Takei, the minister for the ceremony, was quick to correct us before we accidentally unified each other instead of Enorym and Loida. Disaster averted, and wedding completed, we proceeded to get intoxicated and dance homo erotically with Myrn before coming to the realization that it was all over, and we had to leave. Several awkward man-hugs later we were back in Michigan wondering how only a week passed when the entire edventure felt like a month.
After almost 5 years since Myrone the Gnome
went missing, it looks like he may have
made his way down to South America to scare the local residents. I can't be certain it's my old gnome, but given that this is exactly what his namesake would do if he were a gnome, I have to believe it's a good possibility. If you look closely at the video, you can just barely make out what looks like a phone. If it turns out to be an iPhone, I'll be fully convinced.
I've been
eyeing the
Motorola Q ever since I got my
free Treo 650 almost two years ago. The recent price break to $200 was enough incentive for me to make my move. The thinner profile and Mobile 5 OS were the two most attractive features to me and both have proven to be worth the upgrade. I find myself checking to make sure my phone is still on me it's so flush to my belt compared to the Treo. The Mobile 5 OS enables me to write my own software (easily) and once I installed the
.NET 2.0 compact framework on my phone I quickly had a homemade crappy RSS reader written and installed on the phone. "Myrone Detector" is in the works, so if you've got a Mobile 5 phone you won't have to fear
Myrone sneak attacks much longer. Despite
Keith's recommendation of
CodeWallet, I decided to go with
Password Manager for my password keeper since I was able to find an older free version online, and CodeWallet is overkill for me. Owning a phone that can't play
DiVX is embarrassing, so my next install was
TCPMP which I also used on my Treo. It was thankfully ported to Windows Mobile. I recently got Lisa to move from a paper calendar to
Google Calendar and since she decides what I do and when I do it,
GMobileSync was my next install which flawlessly downloaded my life for the next 60 days.
Google Maps Mobile looks and runs much better and faster on the Q compared to the Treo, despite the fact that the Q doesn't have a touch screen. A visit to
FreewarePocketPc.net rounded out my installs with a few games and utilities. The
EV-DO network is noticeably faster than the
1x my Treo had when connected to my laptop, but the latest Q firmware
prevents Bluetooth DUN so I'm stuck with a USB connection for now. There are some downsides though; I miss the longer battery life and touch screen on my Treo, and it's noticeably slower and more complicated to do things compared to the PalmOS (both phones have a 312Mhz processor), but as
Stavos pointed out it shares a name with a
Star Trek character, and that alone compensates for the shortfalls.
Myrone
left for California over 3 years and 4 months ago. Attempts to
replace him never panned out, and I've been lacking in the Myrone department ever since. When cheap airfare to California presented itself I decided it was time for a visit. After my
airline debacle, I was greeted with a
slightly larger Myrone than I remember. I was then
whisked away in a
wild mountain drive of terror before landing at the house of Myrn. Shortly thereafter began my whirlwind tour of
Golden Gate Bridge,
Silicon Valley,
downtown San Francisco and
Alcatraz. My planned visit to
Brian was cancelled due to an abnormally large amount of Myrone and a lengthy drive time, but his spirit was with us during our visit to Castro street. I felt it surround me. My time in California quickly drew to a close, and my post-vacation depression began shortly after being dropped off at the airport. Time now, for a new counter.
It's true, the need for me has declined dramatically this year. The
server statistics show a definite trend of less desire to click on me. Why have I become less clickable? The blame lies squarely with Myrone, who has been gone for
over three years. Without his tomfoolery and shenanigans I'm just not as interesting as I once was.
Less than two weeks after recovering my
stolen gnome, Butt the Gnome has been kidnapped. He disappeared at 9:35pm
Monday which now leaves me with no porch gnomes (Myrone the gnome was
stolen 3 years ago). Fortunately this kidnapping came with a
ransom note from some
Ohioans who had stopped by for
Karaoke Revolution earlier that night. Angry that they live in such a flat state, they decided to strike back with the kidnapping. Their lack of elevation makes them particularly brutal with kidnapping victims as is evidenced by the guard cats surrounding my gnome. I can only imagine the horrific pain my urethane friend is enduring without the comfort of a third dimension. Hang in there Butt, help will be there soon.
A recent conversation with
Enorym brought this question up. Only
the public knows the real answer.
(10:36:02) enorym: So...do you go to the bar alot now? alot of your entries have alot to do with you going to the bar and its funny every pic I see of you...ya have a beer in your hand or in your mouth
(10:39:21) AtomicInternet: REALLY? Hmm, not so much
(10:40:13) enorym: http://atomicinternet.homeip.net/photos/LISAcondo/tn/DSCN2380.JPG
(10:40:30) AtomicInternet: Oh yeah, I'm all about the liquor. that's actually rootbeer, Lisa has corrupted me much like your woman has corrupted you into elevator phone calls.
(10:41:17) enorym: makes you look like a lush lol
(10:42:50) enorym: Brad: "After showing it off at a local bar I went to Lisa's to discover the face was as temporary as her anger once it washed off."
(10:46:20) AtomicInternet: HA!
(10:46:24) AtomicInternet: You've found me out! I'm an alcoholic, that's how I deal with the pain of Michigan
(10:48:25) enorym: hahah
(10:48:32) enorym: better post this in your blog
(10:48:38) enorym: this entire conversation
(10:48:51) AtomicInternet: of course!
(10:48:54) AtomicInternet: posting now…
Thanks to the astute observation of
Joseph, I learned my Gnome on the
GnomeCam was missing. I immediately had flashbacks to when Myrone the gnome was
stolen and feared the same for Butt. Before I was able to alert the Gnome Response Squad Missy pointed out he was not missing but in fact had fallen into the bushes below. No doubt a result of his heavy drinking the night before. As soon as he finds his coffee I'm sure he'll be back on top.
I have 4
Gmail invites left and everyone I talk to either has one or doesn't care for one. I was going to e-bay them but they're only going for $1 now and it's just not worth it. If you can demonstrate your worthiness I'll shoot one your way. Just email
atomicinternet@gmail.com and tell me your entire family will be wiped out by the plauge if I don't send you a gmail invitation or something to that effect. Even
Enorym loves Gmail, so you know it has to be good. He was quoted as saying "Oh my god, this is awesome!"
From 10:34am - 1:16pm this server was unavailable due to maintenance work on the ISP that connects it to the internet.
Gnome cam and
Blacknova Traders continued to update during the outage. No other impact was observed (aside from mass panic experienced primarily by
this guy).
Enorym is now engaged to
this girl in California. Together they are heading up the
Philipino political party with the primary agenda item to silence neighbors that complain when their children are sleeping. Congratulations Enorym! Here are some
relevant photos for the occasion. Excited about his recent engagement, Enorym has announced that not only is he now
a father, but also that his fiance and him are moving into a new house together! As before, here are
more appropriate photos.
Today is
Myrone's birthday, but unfortunately he
moved to California so I can't take him out to BoxBar for the occasion. Instead, I've decided to pay a few curb squirrels to dress up in bright orange jackets and knock on my door at various times today. If you see one on the
gnome cam you can relive the days of Myrone with me.
As you can see from the
Gnome Cam, it snowed almost 2 feet last night and this morning. Apparently Butt the Gnome
was not happy about being outside during the recent storm and is currently on strike. The strike involves sitting on my porch holding a sign, as opposed to just sitting on my porch. To be fair, the fact that he's nailed to the porch probably limits the actions he can take, and although I'm not in any way inclined to take him off my porch, I decided to look up the
www.freethegnomes.com web site referenced on his sign. After reading about the organization, I have a strong feeling they had something to do with the
disappearance of Myrone the Gnome. While not as militant as the
Gnome Liberation Front, I don't think they would hold themselves above kidnapping for political purposes. I for one am not backing down. Gnomes have a genetic predisposition to be decorative and using them for any other purpose is
sick and perverted.
Now that
Enorym has been gone for
over four months,
Stavos has decided it's high time we recruit a replacement. I'm forced to agree, and if you're interested in the job, the
questionairre is pretty straightforward. Just fill it out along with how to contact you and we'll review it. If you meet the requirements, work would begin immediately. Job duties consists of showing up on the front porch of various redford residents at random times, going to resturants with groups of people and refusing to eat anything, and last but not least, assisting with major mechanical projects that otherwise would not be attempted.
An exciting new development in the investigation into Myrone the Gnome's disapperance! Using the
JWEC4000 computer, I was able to interpolate between the 12:05pm and 12:10pm images from the day of the kidnapping. What I found was astonishing! What has been estimated as 12:07pm, we can clearly see
NukieTM from the movie "
Nukie!©TM" stealing Myrone during his regular escapes from stock footage NASA engineers. I can only assume the failure of his movie, and subsequent lack of action figures made him jealous of the Gnome mega star, and the kidnapping was simply a crime of passion. I have enlisted the help of
Tiko and Toki along with the
talking monkey to track down Nukie
TM before his river of snot suffocates Myrone.
The fraternity of my two web gnomes was shattered today at 12:10pm. Myrone the Gnome is now missing in action. Butt the Gnome has been bolted to the handrail ever since he was kidnapped and then returned, having been violated. Myrone, however, had no such protection. His vulnerability was exploited, and his whereabouts are unknown. Having been a kidnapping victim himself, Butt is leading the investigation into his disappearance. If you have any information leading to the apprehension of this perpetrator, please forward it to
buttthegnome@nuclearfusion.org. Below is the evidence accumulated thus far.

Another ridiculous IM conversation involving myrone spawned this photoshop jewel. My
Cougar is now stored in my garage, awaiting spring and until then I have no forced induction to look forward to in the morning. Oh well, I can still beat up my S-10.
After voicing my recent fascination with first generation Ford Probe GT's, and my potential plan to buy one, we somehow got on the topic of southerners.
enOrym: Oh man
enOrym: one of my last days of work here
enOrym: I wore a ny yankeys hat
enOrym: DONT EVER DO THAT HERE OR IN THE
SOUTH!
enOrym: one of my co workers called me a yankey and

said pop, he said say pen "PIN said here" I sad PEN
then he said your saying it all wrong, I said no your
speaking it all wrong cause your people lost the war,Oh
he just got up and lleft the room he was pissed
About 5 years ago, I read an excellent book entitled "
Amusing Ourselves to Death." It is a discussion on how the various media we are bombarded with is affecting our lives, and some possible ramifications. Today, the free press ran a
good article on the use of media in educating children. While I spent a good deal of my childhood watching "He-Man," "Smurfs," and "Transformers," I also remember my parents forcing me to go outside and play with my friends quite frequently. I still became a computer nerd, but thanks to them I developed enough social skills to maintain relationships with my fellow human beings. I'm not saying we should all panic and run around in circles blowing up TV's, I'd be a hypocrite if I said that. Instead, I'm assigning everyone homework: buy/borrow/steal the book and read the article. If you're aware of the issue, you think differently. Don't let your imagination get swallowed up in mainstream media. Dare to be different, and express your creativity even if it doesn't make any sense at all. Here are a
few good examples.
During
Enorym's photo rampage of California, he stumbled upon more proof of the undeniable truth, set in stone.
Myrone left today for California. I helped him pack his U-haul and gave him a hug that put me under question. Always willing to lend a hand, he helped me get my
Cougar to where it is now more than anyone else, including ground effects and my
supercharger. He was always willing to tag along for car shows and autocross events, and stopped by to make me laugh from time to time. I'll miss his random visits and unique sense of humor. While we'll still talk and chat online, life will be a little less interesting without Myrone nearby. Good luck in California, and thanks for being such a great friend, both now and in the future.
Myrone has been gone for:
Enorym and I drove around Plymouth today, so I got some
great candid shots. Got some ice cream from Dairy King and went cruising for some action. Fortunately we didn't find any, so we called it a night.
Enorym came over today to help me put my motorcycle back together, and
Stavos came over to test out his new
Aerobird RC Airplane. We managed to get the motorcycle carbeurators cleaned and mostly put back together, but the Aerobird met with a less fortunate fate.
Here are some photos we took during the adventures.
AOL Instant Messenger is mine and my friends choice for our IM client. Occasionally, we use the "Warn" feature to try and kick each other off. The warning works as a percentage, and the closer to 100% you get the slower you can send messages. When you finally hit 100% if you get logged off you can't login again for the day. Normally we only get up to about 35% since you can only warn 3 times per user. Enorym, however, has taken the time to find out how to take advantage of the system. Below is what I found after returning from lunch. He had no less than 15 usernames to warn me with.

My hat is off to him for taking an absurd feature in AIM to the ultimate extreme.
InternetMenace came back from Florida for a visit so we decided to have a going away party for Enorym. As you can see the alien baby in a jar played a key part in the festivities. We watched "Rat Race" and InternetMenace got to peel out in Stavos' Trans Am.

Enorym and I installed my rear sway bar and swapped to my 225 size tires in preperation for my AutoX event Sunday. Thanks to a well done
how-to, it was pretty straightforward. It is definitely one of the most over-engineered parts I've ever put on my car. Supposedly it was designed for the never-realized Cougar S (ST200 in Europe). It even has Ford part numbers on it. Too bad they cancelled it, with this kind of engineering on the strut bar, I can imagine the whole car would've been awesome.
I created the
AutoSurvey for my work, but thought it was such a good idea I'd use it at home as well. So far, Internet Menace and I have created the
Myroneware Satisfaction Survey and the
Cartoon Survey. Feel free to create your own. The application walks you through the process.
Lastnight we had a blast at
cosmic bowling. The first few photos are ones I already had on the camera, but seem to fit in well anyways.
The weekends at the NAIAS usually consist of fighting through teenie boppers and screaming kids, so I decided to take a day off work and go this year. It was still pretty busy, but not insane.
Stavos works at the RenCen so we got free parking and free shuttle to Cobo. My dad got me two free tickets so we split the third (
Enoryms) for a total cost of $4 for each of us. Got some great
photos of the event, but didn't see anything that grabbed my attention. A few fuel cell cars, no new hybrids, and no really cool production cars. Lots of neat prototypes though, more than I expected with the current economic drought. A good way to spend 4 hours and $4, but I would definately recommend going on a weekday to avoid being trampled.
Bored at work,
Myrone and I began IM'ing each other back and forth about my Interweb. Our
conversation became fairly detailed, and eventually also involved
Stavos. He was a perpetrator of false information on my Interweb, so I had to send the spear of angryness to his processor. If that doesn't make sense I wouldn't recommend reading the conversation.
I had a wonderful birthday. My dad came over and gave me some
luggage, then took Melissa and I out to lunch. My mom came over and gave me a
tree and stayed for awhile. Then I went to Meijers where a cashier asked for my I.D., did a double take, and said "Happy birthday man". I got home and Melissa made my favorite dinner. She gave me
flowers, shoes, and a giant powerpuff girls card. After that, we had Pistachio pudding. In case you haven't heard,
I love pistachio pudding. Melissa's parents got me
fairy gnomes, and Myrone got me
sleepy gnomes. The
snowman approved.
A followup to the last post, the sticker shock of Alienware gave me a new idea:
Myroneware. To answer your question: yes I was slightly intoxicated.
