I did a doubletake when I saw this at a rest stop off of I-10 in Arizona. At the risk of sounding like a completely insensitive ass, is the population of handicap truckers so large that they deserve a dedicated spot at a rest stop??
I think I am struck because I have never seen this before, and I’ve been to my fair share of rest stops…
For those of you that remember Mahir, the Turkish stud, one of my study groupmates has pointed me towards another visionary in the same vein.
It would be easy to dismiss Günther and his quest to "sexualize the world" as childish teen-fantasy drivel, but to do so would be to overlook the true brilliance that is Günther.
I urge you to check out his videos immediately… the classic is the Ding Dong Song but Tutti Frutti Summerlove is creeping up as my personal favorite (there is nothing more than a strong PG-13 rating there, but probably still not the best thing to pull up at work ;).
The gratuitous use of white boy-shorts and creative use of fruit (bananas and melons of course) juxtaposed against insightful lyrics such as “honey, you’re so cute, this is the land of bitter fruit. Bananas, melones, yeah!” showcase the true brilliance of Günther. And really, most importantly, how can you resist the sexual dynamo that is *Günther*!
Go to Gunthernet.com and click on "Video" to find out why, when you thought Sweden could do no more damage to the world music scene than Ace of Base, you were horribly horribly wrong…
Never mind, I figured it out…
So the other day, Mumtaz brings home a flyer or something with the name "Vanderdonk" on it. I remember thinking "that is a really funny name." It stuck in my head… after a couple of days, it would just pop up randomly… …and Bendix managed the growth of the new division to produce electronic fuel injectors by hiring… Vanderdonk…???
Well after a week or so, it started to morph, Vanderdonk became Vanderhouse… and that triggered a brain spasm… it reminded me of another funny name that I had heard of but *just* couldn’t place… Vanderhouse and Brigliano… no that wasn’t quite right… played with a few more variations in my head… then I came up with it! Vanderhout and Brigagliano!! That was it!!
What the hell is it???
I knew that this pair of goofy names meant something… there was a spark there *somewhere*… it was too poingnant in my head for it not to… but I just couldn’t place it… what the *hell* is vanderhout and brigagliano??
Are they characters from a movie? Nope, that didn’t seem right. Is it a brand of soap? Who the hell would name soap, vanderhout and brigagliano. Is it a species of flower…???
Day after day it grows on me… it pops into my head more and more often… this pair of funny names that obviously mean something. It is really starting to piss me off, I must find out what this means…
The last time I had to hard reset a Palm device some years back, re-synching the device was a bit of a pain. After the initial sync, the core data restored fine but many of my applications had to be reinstalled and all of my personalization settings had to be redone. All in all, it was a ~2 hour process and required many multiple syncs before it was in its pre-crash state again.
But the Palm sync software has come a long way since then. Now, after hard-resetting my Treo, I synched and *everything* was restored to its original state on the first sync – no muss, no fuss. It was a truly painless process.
No, not *that* Crime and Punishment… this is a school project that my little cousin Khuzema and his friends made (he’s the short guy that spends most of his time in this video lying on the ground, dead). It’s about a 50MB download though quicktime seems to do a reasonable job of streaming it.
Another forward from Abizer, This is freaking brilliant!!
…and a little bit surreal – Chuck Norris’ response.
Another Bloom County comic from ~20 years ago that is remarkably relevant for today…
This comic serously cracked me up. Not because it is particularly funny, but because it was written in the early 80s and yet, 20 years after it was written, it is just applicable as it was then… 
And while we are making fun of the W, this picture has been circulating through email for a while now… on the off chance you haven’t already seen it…
I have never heard the term “Brangelina” until yesterday. Despite how common this term is in some circles (apparently), I feel like I have missed out on nothing…
