Merc – obligatory HUGE oil painting

obligatory HUGE oil painting

Dunno who this is but he must have been important to have a huge painting of him in the executive conference room. I imagine the current execs genuflecting to him before each secret meeting. 🙂

technology wtf?

Who woulda thought that …

… back in 1989 my parents would have so progressive that they would have had an HDTV Comcast DVR. And to think that I would have brought it with me… to college… to the apartments I had after college… to California… and beyond. Thank you Mom and Dad. I wouldn’t have been the time-shifting, ad-ignoring, dual-tuner-HDTV-viewing person I am today without you.

STOP USING INTERNET EXPLORER

For those of you still using Internet Explorer… [smack upside the head] WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING? STOP IT. and if the abundance of capital letters in those last two sentences don’t turn you around, perhaps the article I link to below will be enough.

Browser bugs, a year-around bite | CNET News.com

You should at LEAST evaluate your options. Firefox, Opera, Safari… The Big 3.

People. Just Do It!!! Your karma will be better for it. Make me happy. Really, come on. You don’t want to make me come to your house and put a world of hurt on your little dog Toto too.

“Let there be farts”

Farting Preacher

Please forgive a joyous juvenile moment but I’VE FOUND IT. People, can you you say “Hallelujah?” Something spoke to me today and said to me, “go-eth out and find-eth thee the belly-hurting, gut-busting moving pictures of religious flatulence.” And so it is written… ummm, said,… so it shall be done. (-Yul Brynner-ish)

Children, harken unto me. It was the time of college and my flock-mates show-eth unto mine eyes a video they believed… no… they fervently believed… would do unto me as they had done unto themselves. And lo, as I beheld the joy that is religious flatulence, I too became a believer.

Farting Preacher – Google Video

ps – okay. that thing that spoke to me was my copy of a Yonder Mountain String Band concert from Jan. 29, 2006. I never said it was a burning bush. jeez.

The aftermath

La Fondue - The aftermath

Ugh. I’m so full! However I surprised Cathy with how much I loved the chocolate dessert fondue. The cream cheese nuggets were particularly good. Cathy really enjoyed the pineapple smothered in chocolate. Now… home to collapse on the couch like a coupla beached whales.
