Davis Denied!

So, yeah. All you L.A. people will get to see Rachelle and I for the next two years as I go to UCLA and she stays at her school. w00+!1

Hey everyone, or two. I got into Cal Poly SLO. That is all.

Happy birthday Mr. Lincoln! You'll be happy to know that on this, what would have been your 199th birthday, an man of African descent took the lead in the race to become one of the two major nominees for President of the Untied States.

Seriously guys, I'll post stuff next year. In the meantime, who is your favorite possible President, regardless of electableness and polling strategies? I'm feelin' the Kucinich, but the primary is a month off and my mind could be changed. Anyway, Happy New Year!




P.S.: A parting thought.

Scottish follow through in action.

My trip to Scotland, in haiku form:

Toilet, not restroom
First Presbyterian Church
Arthur's Wind Of Death

Prawn Cocktail? Barbecue Rib?

I know macaroni and cheese isn't exactly health food, but it is healthier than eating an equal volume of cheese.

401(k)'d!!!

Any advice on what it's composition should be would be greatly apreciated... and rewarded... in 42 years.

Second Hand Law School

SDLoser (6:45:39 AM): Have you studied imminent domain yet?
PandaHamburger (6:45:54 AM): emminent
SDLoser (6:45:59 AM): No.
SDLoser (6:46:04 AM): Imminent.
PandaHamburger (6:46:11 AM): and, no, takings is at the end of prop
PandaHamburger (6:46:14 AM): no imminent then
SDLoser (6:46:17 AM): Like, you just know the domain is gonna be there.
PandaHamburger (6:46:28 AM): well, I suppose
PandaHamburger (6:46:33 AM): that is the basic property right
PandaHamburger (6:46:44 AM): or about to be there
PandaHamburger (6:46:48 AM): that would be a future interest
PandaHamburger (6:47:10 AM): :-)
SDLoser (6:47:17 AM): Like, when the internet was starting to blow up, and we didn't have some certain websites yet, but you knew they were coming, so you bought the domain so that other people would have to pay you for it.
SDLoser (6:48:13 AM): Like, you bought www.charlesshultz.com before he had the chance too, so that he would have to buy it off you for an inflated rate.
SDLoser (6:48:19 AM): Imminent Domain.
PandaHamburger (6:48:44 AM): they actually worked that out
SDLoser (6:48:54 AM): Looks like he didn't buy it.
PandaHamburger (6:48:56 AM): they don't have to pay you a high price for it
PandaHamburger (6:49:18 AM): if it is their trademark or copyright
SDLoser (6:49:52 AM): Really?
PandaHamburger (6:49:56 AM): yeah
SDLoser (6:50:16 AM): A trademark provides future rights to internet domains?
PandaHamburger (6:50:26 AM): apparently
PandaHamburger (6:50:31 AM): I don't know the reasoning
PandaHamburger (6:50:43 AM): but domain prospecting is not viable
SDLoser (6:50:51 AM): Like, www.disney.com was theirs before Al Gore even invented the internet?
PandaHamburger (6:52:03 AM): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybersquatting
PandaHamburger (6:52:29 AM): congress passed a statute

Well, that cash cow just up and died. Also, apparently I don't know how to spell Charles Schulz.

Genius at Work

So I woke up today, Sunday, and to my surprise I was the last person up. Only Bobby was still at the house. So, I fill my Double Gulp cup with water and start talking to him. When I had gone to bed previously at midnight he was only about 15 minutes into Munich, a three hour film. I ask if he actually finished, he responds with "Yes. It was awesome." I don't quite agree. Anyway, what we do agree on is that we have to find a solution to the whole Israel/Palenstine thing. Solution?

Terraforming!

Keep in mind this will only work as a script and possibly a very poor movie made from said script. We simply solve the whole problem by terraforming another piece of land to be exactly the same as Israel. This will be Cyprus as it is close enough for everyone to move to with little effort. We are not really sure where are the Cyprusians will go, but we'll figure it out. So, they happily move somewhere, possibly the Bahamas, and the Terraformers get to work. This is where it gets interesting. Upon survey of the island, people are discovered living under the island. We'll just call them Morlocks. No problem, right? Just move them to the Bahamas too? Wrong! Turns out they are one of the lost tribes of Israel, and super Jewish. Now Israel is coflicted about moving them, so they don't. Cyprus gets terraformed and given to the Morlocks, the Cyprusians happily go to the the Bahamas, and thusly the Palestinians still get nothing. Lame. But here comes the worst part. All the other supposed lost tribes from the Mormons, Persians, Irish, whoever start asking for there piece. All Hell breaks loose. The end. Nothing gets resolved. Lame.

And the name of the movie shall be...

The Cyprus Effect

From the maintenance section in the manual for a bass amplifier:

The Magic Smoke – Few people realize just how much magic goes into creating Great Bass Tone. It isn’t something you normally need worry about. Just have fun and leave all that to us. However – and this is very important –if you ever release the Magic Smoke from your amplifier this is indeed a Very Bad Thing, perhaps the worst thing you can do. If you see any smoke (Magic or otherwise) coming out of your amplifier, immediately turn it off and seek the services of a qualified magician…uhm, we mean…technician. DO NOT continue to use the amplifier in this condition.

Update!!!

Tim has an Erdos-Bacon number of 7!

Way to go Tim!!!

A Saturday night for me when Rachelle is out of town.

SDLoser: Our house is loud right now.
SDLoser: No one home but me.
chimchim91: ha ha ha
chimchim91: good work
SDLoser: I found a cool new way to listen to music.
chimchim91: dare i ask
SDLoser: I got those headphones a few days ago.
chimchim91: yeah
SDLoser: And a headphone amp today.
SDLoser: Headphones plus speakers.
chimchim91: that makes no sense
SDLoser: It's almost like headphones with a subwoofer.
chimchim91: so the speakers have to be loud enough to hear when the headphones are on?
SDLoser: Now I'm just listening to the speakers and noticing how different Ben Folds' voice is now from how it wos ten years ago.
SDLoser: Just need to hear a tad of the speakers.
SDLoser: Really gives the full body feel which is impossible to create with headphones.
SDLoser: Ooooohhhh...
SDLoser: Regulators.
chimchim91: nice!!!
SDLoser: I can feel the wind hitting my face.

The rythym is the bass and the bass is the treble.

There is an english me?

This is an actual email I just received.


Alright, my names Andrew James Price,

My girlfriend found your site on google and said you were
a geek, just like me, apparently? Im 23 as well, my
girlfriend has IBS and I spend a lot of my day looking
through Wikipedia to find information to bore my friends
with, so she's decided that your my twin. In the UK there's
a comedian called Dave Gorman who make a show about looking
for 54 people with his name, she said to do the same and
email you.

Just thought I should let you know that there is an
English you out there,

Andrew (James) Price


Thanks for the support, Andrew!

Hey everybody! In case you forgot and haven't gotten me a birthday present, don't worry. I've taken all the work out of it for you. Simply click here and proceed.

Just a quick, little, informal survey.

Do you pay your use tax?

New Record:

7 guitar picks found in one load of laundry.

Hopefully I have magic pants that somehow are making guitar picks for me. It would also be awesome if they could do something about the high rates of suicide in Scandanavian countries, but I'm not holding my breath.




Update:

The final count is actually 8 picks and 2 dollar bills.

For all of you who don't already know, I got a job at Guitar Center. There is a new one opening just south of the mall here. One day I hope to be making sales as big as this guy's.

I so wish I had that breakfast machine.

Maybe if everyone pitches in ya'll can get this for me for Christmas.

Finally, there is actually some reality on television.

Euphemism

As the name of this blog informs you, I have irritable bowel syndrome. You may notice that it is irritable bowel syndrome, not irritable stomach syndrome. Nevertheless, much of the time when I get sick, which can last from a few days to a few months, I usually tell people that my stomach is not doing too well. This is for social pleaseantries. In reality what that really means is...























Everything below my ribcage is tied in knots! I'm getting frequent random stabs of pain! I spent 3 hours last night going from the toilet to lying rolled up naked on the bathroom floor! What I want most in the world is to just vomit out the entire contents of my body! I'm so tired because my body is expelling food in an undigested state! etc., etc., etc....

I hope you find this information helpful.

So, I've been reading the Harry Potter lately. If you've read any of them, then you know the word "treacle" comes up quite often. What the crap is treacle?!

Anyway, I looked it up on the Wikipedia. Apparently it is molasses. Amazing, isn't it? Okay, not really, but this little tidbit in the article is:

A famous incident involving molasses was the Boston Molasses Disaster on January 15, 1919, in which a large molasses storage tank burst and flooded a neighborhood of Boston, killing 21 and injuring 150.

In conclusion...

"I'm not putting them on," said old Archie in indignation. "I like a healthy breeze 'round my privates, thanks."
