Did you know...
That the first internet search engine was “Archie” in 1990?
Well, it was. Also, I had a conversation about Ask Jeeves today. I suspect Ask Jeeves failed because people just couldn’t comprehend that you can’t actually ask a question and expect an answer.
Today, Google has an estimated 450,000 servers. When they started, they had 30.
I would absolutely tame a gorilla.
While gorillas are huge and frightening, a tame one would be the ideal pet.
the beast in me by Jeffrey (brainware3000)
A wild animal I would keep as a pet is a gorilla. I think this question requires the expectation that the animal you keep is no longer wild and a non-wild gorilla would be the most awesome animal to live with. My gorilla and I would play video games, eat ridiculous...
Do I Watch Metalocalypse Because I Like the Music?
Maybe.
It is also hilarious.
I let my internet use get out of hand.
Due to links from Twitter and Tumblr I ended up with 3 windows of Firefox open and when I went to close one I had not maximized in awhile, it said “You are about to close 86 tabs…” I had a really great screen cap. of the event and then forgot about it until my poor abused computer could no longer hold onto the memory long enough to paste into photoshop. Many of the links...
What's your pro wrestling name? →

I can never resist these … as a guy I am Snide Hero (wtf?) and as a diva pro wrestler I am Dear Redhead (again, wtf?).
Fail.
Well it’s only appropriate that my male name would be Psycho Axe. Hm. And my female name would be Cowgirl Venus. (yeehaw?)
Mine and Jail’s are eerily similar…Male: Psycho Nova. Female: Cowgirl Pinup.

Weathercasters in Sioux Falls are comedians.
I don’t know how many people watch the KELO news at 530am (based on the population of SoDak, the answer is not many), but here I am taking a gander at the 7-day weather forecast for KELO Land. Sioux Falls doesn’t have it the worst (despite negative double digit highs, gusting winds, and snow), but the big news story is the BIG JANUARY THAW at the beginning of next week.
Yes, the...
“The snow is over for now, but there is another round headed our way tomorrow...”
– I love it when you talk dirty to me weathercaster.
Blizzard was a little disappointing, hopefully we can get it right tomorrow night.
Who Needs a Golden Globe Anyway?
Somebody should place a camera focused on my facial expressions while I watch Rock of Love Bus. Everytime a commercial comes around I realize my face is contorted in some horrible fashion. If my face gets stuck like this, I will be forced to send VH1 a picture of myself in hopes that I will somehow be added to their reality show line-up.
“I’m from Atlanta y’know? I like the strip clubs.”
– Adam “Pacman” Jones when asked what it is about strip clubs that he can’t avoid.
Big XII Fail.
Looks like the powerful Big XII South will only pull out ONE bowl victory this year. The North managed a much better showing. The SEC needs to suffer some big losses because I still dont think they are quite as good as everybody makes them out to be. They always show up in big games, but otherwise they are pretty unimpressive. Is Florida’s defense really that good? Or is Oklahoma pulling a...
True Beauty
Once again, reality television comes through with a gem of human interaction with True Beauty on ABC. They brought a bunch of stereotypically beautiful young people (the females are a little bit hideous actually) together and would like to find out (via hidden cameras) if they are as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside. The guys represent every man you’ve ever wanted to avoid...
Unfortunate Events, Objects and Ideas
tesslynch:
1. Powerpoint
2. Poached proteins
3. This True Life
4. People who like the band Creed
5. Freak avalanches
6. Parasites
Hahaha, people who like the band Creed and the band Creed are both extremely unfortunate. Otherwise, as a college student I dont think I am allowed to bash Powerpoint. Also, parasites aren’t so bad. I say this because I think I brought one with me from...
Me: [Alabama] should have gone to Remember the Titans for motivation.
Papa H: Yeah, or Hancock.
