…but I had a really great weekend.

I have no idea why, but today I have been getting great links from people all day. Here’s a sampling:

The Chase is on

The Budwieser Commercial You Won’t See

Who cares if it’s fake cuz it’s still funny damnit

And of course the link to the VW commercial I put up earlier today.

This new commercial is pretty damn cool.

Evil Dead The Musical

I must see this…

This story is just plain wrong….and then it gets worse.

Just because you are in the left lane and want to be in the right lane, does not mean you automatically have the right to nose into the middle lane…ESPECIALLY WHEN A CAR IS RIGHT NEXT TO YOU.

CNN.com had a really interesting article discussing tectonic plate movements and the recent earthquake in Southeast Asia. It explains how Sumatra moved sixty feet north & then goes on to further explain the general directions that each plate is shifting. Now mind you, these plates move maybe a few inches per century which is why this particular quote struck me as funny from the article:

“Australia, meanwhile, is on a collision course with southeast Asia.”

If you know anyone who lives down under, tell them they have about 250 million years to get everything tied down before impact.

Anyone interested in the article can read it here

So I finally broke down and bought a cellphone…and within a matter of a week accidentally left it in Florida in the rental car at the airport.

It’s all good though. The rental company found it and is shipping it back to me.

George Bush is visiting the Queen of England.

He asks her, “Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give me?”

“Well,” says the Queen, “the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people.”

Bush frowns. “But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?”

The Queen takes a sip of tea. “Oh, that’s easy. You just ask them to answer an intelligence riddle. The Queen pushes a button on her intercom. “Please send The Prime Minister in here, would you?”

Tony Blair walks into the room. “Your Majesty…”

The Queen smiles. “Answer me this, please, Tony. Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?”

Without pausing for a moment, Blair answers, “That would be me!”

“Yes! Very good!” says the Queen.

Back at the White House, Bush calls in his vice president, Dick Cheney. “Dick, answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a child. It’s not your brother and it’s not your sister. Who is it?”

“I’m not sure,” says the vice president. “Let me get back to you on that one.” Dick Cheney goes to his advisers and asks every one, but none can give him an answer.

Finally, he ends up in the men’s room and recognizes Colin Powell’s shoes in the next stall. Dick shouts, “Colin! Can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child and it’s not your brother or your sister. Who is it?”

Colin Powell yells back, “That’s easy. It’s me!”

Dick Cheney smiles. “Thanks!”

Cheney goes back to the Oval Office and asks to speak with Bush. “Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It’s Colin Powell.”

Bush gets up, stomps over to Dick Cheney, and angrily yells into his face, “No, you idiot! It’s Tony Blair!”

The first post of the year….

These card houses are impressive. I have no clue if they are real or not, but it is still pretty damn cool.
