Super Bowl: The Dream Is Over

Category: Sports News, Superbowl, humor, sports | No Comments

After the interception run back for a touchdown by Tracy Porter, I knew the game was pretty much over.

I have been wrong about Peyton before, doubting him as he made a fool out of me, but this time was different.

With the Colts following drive taking 90% of the remaining clock, and ending in 0 points, the game was in fact over.

The dream gone.

The anger swelling.

The Super Bowl parties wouldn’t leave many with dark eye circles the next day, as it would have if the Colts had won.

As I spoke with co-workers this morning, everyone had a different opinion about what, or who, went wrong. Everything from Manning had a bad game, to well, Dwight Freeneys’ ankle were given out as culprits.

Honestly, the Colts just got outplayed. They weren’t as hungry as the Saints. I am not saying the Saints are the better team. That would be a little presumptuous. I still believe the Colts are better, they just weren’t last night.

But, that’s just my two cents worth.

And while the old adage of maybe next year won’t mend the wounds of so many loyal Colts fans, it could still be worse.

You could still be a Rams, Raiders or Browns fan.

Bad Ideas: Paint Your Own Obama

If you’re one of those people that can’t quite handle the fact that there is an African American (or at least non white) president of the U.S., now you can buy an action figure that will allow you to paint him what ever color you want!

The base is stark white, and the entire figurine can be painted to the owners liking.

Some of the ones on the website selling this are green, gold and of course his natural skin color.

What color would you paint him?

Category: Our World, Pics, WTF, fail, funny images, funny pics, humor, images, walmart | No Comments

If you have ever been to a Walmart  than you have no doubt run across a Walmartian or two.

These individuals are not ashamed to be themselves and are perfectly at home in their native habitat: Walmart.

Todays Specimens:

The Bad Elvis

Our first pecimen is known as the Bad Elvis. Known for it’s daring mimicry of the Late Elvis Presley,  the Bad Elvis typically half asses an original Elvis Presley outfit, or makes personal modifications to adjust to it’s surroundings. It is widely known for it’s bright (and often putrid) colorings during the mating cycle, and can be heard uttering “Hubba hubba” to any passing females, regardless of species.

It can frequently be found in the Dairy aisle, or in the medicine aisle, searching for male enhancement drugs such as vigrx.

The Side Booby

Our next specimen is the Side Booby. This creature, in dire need of cane sugar derivatives, uses the sheer size of their left and right side cleavage to appear bigger than others in the aisle, bloating out in a display of prowess. The Side Booby then has no problem getting the last box of Mike and Ikes, before they are gone.

They can typically be found in the Candy aisle.

The Top Shelfer

Out final specimen is known as The Lifter or The Top Shelfer. This creature only cares to forage at the highest shelves in Walmart, preferring the back of those shelves even more. Fanta, RC Cola and other lesser known brands are among it’s preferred diet. Upon failing to reach a selected meal, the Top Shelfer will elevate one of it’s offspring in order to procure it’s prize.

They can typically be found in the soda and alcohol aisles.

Technology: Why We Can’t Move On

Category: Geek Stuff, New Tech, New Technology, technology | No Comments

It seems that every time a new technology comes out, there are always two parties that form behind it:

Those that want it in mass now, and those that don’t see the need for it.

The problem with technology isn’t keeping up with it, as much as it is finding a real need to invest the money it requires to implement it every time it comes out.

Take the image above. It an image of a ls4278 hand held scanner. It’s not a new technology, but it is used by the thousands all across the world. I see them all the time at work.

But this technology is pretty old. Laser technology has come a long way, and with the advent of RFID, these things should be obsolete.

So why aren’t they?

In my opinion? Because it costs an arm and a leg to implement a new technology, especially one that is systematic. also take into account the issues involved with jumping on a new technology platform when it first comes out, and you have a recipe for CIO (or CEO) resignation.

So while the technology world around PC’s and cell phones may be able to change at whim, the rest of the technology world, the biggest portion, has to stay in limbo until the costs and possible implementation issues decrease enough to make it plausible.

Digital TV, HD TV and soon 3D TV have a low investment, and high yield when it comes to switching to them, but the latest imaging technology for hospitals isn’t as cheap, or as reliable when it is first unveiled.

Ever heard of ROI? If not, then look it up. It’s the name of the game in technology.

Sad, but true. I think they were designed as part of some weird government testing of human limitations with patience.

Yeah. That’s what I thought too.

Is it amateur night? Is there a free for all going on here?

Or maybe this club is sponsored by adipex, or some other diet pill manufacturer. But this image could be worse. This could an image later on in her show…*shivers*

I just can’t tell if that guy in the black shirt is trying to get on the stage, or away from it.

The Hello Kitty Chainsaw has now completed the final emasculation of all things manly.

If you can put Hello Kitty on a tool of tree destruction and zombie killing, the end must truly be near.

New Tech: 3D TV And Movies

It seems that everyone and their brother is trying to sell something capable-of or that goes-with 3D TV.

Everything coming out in the past few months has been geared towards the 3D world. It started with Avatar, but it is spreading like a virus.

And me? I don’t even have HD yet.

And nor do I care about it.

What?!?

Let me  rephrase that, I am not interested in HDTV or 3D TV. Nor am I interested in spending thousands of dollars to get my house even HD compliant!

Now, I understand HD. It has been around for awhile, and is pretty much a household staple these days.

But 3D? I know about as much about 3D as I do about a immediate annuity, and that’s nothing. And I don’t really care to. I find it hard to believe that the technology changes over the last 20 or so years have made it drastically better that what it was.

Plus, why would I be happy about an insanely over bloated industry looking to suck more money out of my pocket, for the same f***king movie, I probably just saw a few weeks or months earlier?!?

So as long as only a few, selected movies ( and maybe TV shows) get done in 3D, we all won’t be walking around all day and night with those damn ugly glasses with red and blue lenses.

Creepy picture?

Yes.

Provocative?

Maybe.

This image, titled Some People Are Too Attached To Traditional Media, may look like something straight out of a horror movie, but it shows us a humorous vision of our current reliability on paper media.

I doubt whatever media it is that makes up this poor chaps head will ever be available in a place like Amazon books, but one can always dream.

Did anyone get a cold chill after looking at this a few times?
