Yay!
You know that tourist guy that floated around shortly after the WTC attack? You must. Hell, Jonny mentioned it a while back. Well anyway, it seems that a couple websites (companies?) decided to exploit those doctored photos for their own benefit (traffic?), but it appears that he has been found.

And his November clothing may have something to do with his Hungarian blood.

Also, check out touristguy.com. Check out the galleries. There's a lot of quality doctored pics there. I like the Stay Puft one and the Blue's Clues one in particular.

BTW, I found this story over at The Sexual Hypertextual Vegetable. Don't ask.

Test
I did something bad... Trying to fix it...

Nice. All better.

Game on!

I found this somehow...

Thanksgiving Rocks
Happy belated Thanksgiving everyone! I hope all of you had as good as a Thanksgiving as mine. I ate, slept, and watched football. Can't get much better than that. Unfortunately I had to pay for it by raking leaves all day today. Oh well, at least I didn't have to work! BTW, did anyone see the Celtics game tonight? They were up by 15 at the half and blew it!! Sucky sucky...

My horoscope
The Sun is in Sagittarius and the Moon is in Pisces. Your friends will be glad to teach you a thing or two if you let them. No need to pay for expensive classes. The person who knows what you need won't take your money anyway, so just ask.

I spent a couple hours today putting together what will be about... revision #732 for this website. Since I seemed to have acquired two pairs of hands in making sure something gets written on a daily basis, it seems that the site needs a little less "Jerome Jerome Jerome" and a little more... eh... whoever those other guys are. ;) I think I have settled on a layout and now I'm populating the page with a bunch of links and other goodies. Everything is going a-ok.

But I guess if my horoscope is correct, I need help with something. I'm not sure what that thing is, but if someone is willing to give me free lessons in... uh... whatever, it would be most appreciated.

Any lesson involving domestic farm animals and/or the "two-point conversion" will be ignored.

I've already mastered those.

*looks around* What? Who said that?

Foiled by Father Time
The paper got delivered yesterday, but no one knew about it until we picked up today's and yesterday's paper this morning. The newspaper box was stuffed, since the Thanksgiving paper has probably more sales fliers in it than there was newspaper. I took a look at them, since I knew there must have been some sweet deals going on today. And there was. I've been in the market for sweet deals on almost any and every piece of computer hardware out there; I've been looking to replace my current Dell with a bunch of much better crap. As I perused the sales from the big three computer hardware places in Concord, NH (Staples, Best Buy, and Circuit City), I found that after mail-in rebates, I could get a 16/10/40 CD-RW drive for $30! And I don't even have to sign up for MSN for 3 years! And I could get 100 CD-R discs for free after rebates, too! I was kinda ecstatic about that, since I knew that CD-RW's don't go down in price too often. And cheap 16/10/40 drives sell for $75 with shipping, while the better brands can go for as much as $125-$175. I guess that makes the brand selling the $30 drive a little suspicious, eh? The drive itself is made by I/O magic, which, oddly enough, I can't find any reviews about. Another place has a DRT drive for $50. I can't find any reviews about it, either. And if you look at the specs for both of those drives, they are the same, word for word. Freaky. The model numbers barely differ, too.

And then I realized that the sale was good until noon today. I was looking through the sales at about 12:15. Damnit! Stupid impulse sales.

I hope those sales prices get reinstated soon. I'll be in Concord Sunday...

I don't understand the marketing strategy of pop-under ads
Pop-up ads don't work too well... Are pop-under ads more likely to be viewed or something? How's that possible, if they just hang out in your taskbar until you realize it's there and then close it? They still seem pretty dumb to me.

Enh. Whatever. More turkey, less thinking, Jerome...

Speaking of which, Happy Turkey Day to all of you site visitors out there. All five of you... ;)

About the lamest guy I have ever seen
OK, there is this Star Wars fansite called theforce.net which is probably the biggest Star Wars site out there, aside from starwars.com. Now I admit, I am a fan of Star Wars, so I do read this site, but anyways, yesterday, I saw about the lamest thing I have ever seen on there. You should check it out for yourself. Don't read the rest of this post until you read it.

OK, now that you have read it, dude, isn't that guy fucking lame? He is a contributor for theforce.net, and he asked his girlfriend to marry him on the site! What a total loser! That would be like me asking Jerome's mom to marry me right here on this site, with a big ol' lightsaber in my hand. The best part about this story, though, is that guy got shamed on Consumption Junction almost immediately after he posted. He is the Jedi Pimp Of The Week. At least his girlfriend said yes, since he obviously has nothing else to live for.

Weird Science
This is the part of the post where I may write a brief introduction and showcase my exceedingly high amount of wit and all-around awesomeness. Unfortunately, I'm not feeling the least bit witty at the moment. I don't feel like talking or writing, in fact. So, I present to you some links and I'll let you figure them out for yourself.

-- Something about the sound barrier.
-- Something about spinning things.
-- And this is just cute.

And make sure you eat way too much turkey tomorrow. Then take a nap while watching football or the Buffy marathon on FX. If you're one of those types of people that enjoy watching the parade on TV instead, well, you deserve a thorough, vigorous beating with a wicket. You bastard.

ICQ is tweaking out...
...playing a "Happy Birthday" tune, much to my surprise. On further inspection, it appears that today is Mike's birthday. That means you'll have to email him or message him or comment here and say bad hurtful things about him becoming another year older.

I'm bored out of my mind.
Someone give me an idea of what to do.
I have things I could be doing, but I don't feel like doing them. In fact, I don't feel like doing anything that I could be doing, but the drawback is that I become bored and I need something to do. And thus begins the inescapable vicious cycle.
I've been thinking of becoming an ambassador like Carson Daily...

All Five Horizons Revolve Around Michael Stipe's Soul
This isn't extremely current news but since I haven't been posting for that long I don't feel bad. Hell, I wouldn't feel bad even if I were. Anyway this post is for all you Pearl Jam and R.E.M. fans out there. Personally, I'm a huge Pearl Jam fan and not so big an R.E.M fan but I can deal with them. ;) Apparently, Eddie Vedder (and yes, I know he wants to be known as "Ed" now but to damn bad! I like the sound of "Eddie Vedder" better... lol, I rhyme) sang with R.E.M. during one of their shows in a Seattle club! You can see pictures, read some dumb story, and best of all, download the entire concert in mp3 format here. Thanks to Five Horizons (probably the best Pearl Jam website out there) for hosting the files. B.T.W check out Eddie's hair cut! It's way short! Gone are the grunge days I guess. ;)

Replacing dictatorships with anarchy
That's a slightly modified quote from an article I was thinking of sharing with you. You know, the stories I have been holding back because I didn't want to be overwhelming and the fact that I'm a post whore? Yeah, those ones. Well, I don't feel like sharing them anymore because on second thought, they seemed rather dumb and uninteresting. It's like, woo. Nanotechnology. Big deal. It's still years away. And look at me! I'm designing a clockless processor! You know, crap like that. So I thought of instead of sharing my dated links with you (I provided you links to the better two, which aren't all that great), I'd just sing you love songs and make all of your worries go away. Would you like that? Yeeeaaah... I bet you would...

Well too bad.

On a dissimilar note, I managed to get a hold of Kittie's second album titled Oracle. I decided to aquire it since their first album made me very very afraid of the band. I was hoping that maybe their second album would make me soil myself. Well, it didn't, but it was still pretty scary. It's a lot like the first album. The band's lead singer isn't going to have any vocal chords by the time she reaches 25 if she keeps yelling like a Cannibal Corpse fan.

And I remember when someone tried to convince me that they were going to go pop. Heh. What a tubesteak.

Scientists Invent Perfect Dooms Day Machine!
Ok, so maybe the title is a little misleading but it got you to start reading this right? Actually, it wasn't that far off the mark if you ask me. Scientists have actually figured out how to create mini black holes (scroll down to the "Making Mini Black Holes" section). Now stop me if I'm wrong but aren't black holes large objects who's only purpose in life is to SUCK UP EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH? Sounds like we should be avoiding these things at all possible cost, not making them! And if that's not enough, these mini black holes can only be created (in theory) if "there are extra dimensions of space-time we currently don't know about." Oh, ya, oh course... How stupid I've been to forget about all those EXTRA DIMENSIONS OF SPACE-TIME! What the fuck is that!? When I was in school there were three dimensions: length, width, and height. Everyone seemed pretty content with that. Why do we have to go and find more?

In another article, two teams of scientists have actually stopped light which in turn could lead to the creation of desktop black holes. How cool would that be? My boss could bring me all the work she wants and I'd just conveniently "loose" it the black hole. "Oh I'm sorry, that paper has been lost in a black nothingness where its molecular structure has been torn apart." Hehehe... that would rock...

Nothing important happened today
Because the X-Files doesn't even bother to tie up lose ends anymore. (PS: 'Nothing Important Happened Today' was the title of tonight's episode). Don't get me wrong, I like Agents Doggett and Reyes, but er, uh, yeah. They end their episodes like I'm going to end this post. In the middle of a sentence. Just you wait and see. Ever notice how they talk more about Fox Mulder now than when David Duchovny was in the show? Face it X-Files writing team, he ain't coming back. And don't even get me started that apparently the whole alien conspiracy has disappeared in favor of the creation of 'super soldiers.' What the hell are the super soldiers for? The X-Files has just gotten very weird, and really the only reason I still watch it is because I'm hoping Agent Reyes and Agent Scully will...

To Be Continued...

Stay tuned for scenes from my next post.

Stolen from a link over at Camworld...

And while I'm at it, you may be interested to see what Roman "exotic art" kinda looked like 2,000 years ago.

What the hell!
OK, so literally all day I have been working on installing a new motherboard in my computer. I had lots of delays due to the fact that I was cleaning up my desk area in the process. I had more delays when the board was finally in, because something was set in correctly. After about an hour of fretting, and discussion with some of my friends, I got the thing working, on bare bones parts, thanks to Mike, our new correspondent. Well anyways, then I had a long phone call, watched some TV, and then finally put all the shit that was not needed for bare bones operation back in the computer. Well, first off by this time it was kinda late, about 2AM, and I start hearing this banging on the wall from my neighbors. They were banging ‘cause I was making a small amount of noise connecting wires and stuff behind my desk. Well, fuck them, fuck them in their stupid asses. I never go banging the wall when they are having sex against it, (3 times in one night once). I don't bang the wall when they have fights and throw things. So naturally I'm a little pissed. But what makes me more pissed is that I had to finish putting all the wires together very slowly so as not to make noise. And then to top things off, once everything is all put away and ordered neatly as commanded by the anal retentive guy in my head, the damn thing doesn't start up, seemingly with the same problem it had before. And now I can't rip it all up, since I wouldn't want to 'disturb' the sex heads next door. I am just pissed, since I have been trying to find time to do all this for about a 2 weeks, I wasted a day doing working on it today, its not done, and I am running out of time to get it done. I won't have time at all this week since I am going to a movie Monday night, and Tuesday I am leaving for home and probably not coming back until Sunday. So that leaves all day tomorrow, at least while the neighbors aren't trying to sleep or have sex. Plus I am writing this on my work laptop, and frankly, I just hate using the laptop to type shit.
