Ever wondered how to say "Hello sir, I hope you are having a good morning!" in Drow (evil, underground elves from D&D...so the phrase above would actually come out sounding more like "Hello sir, I hope you are ready for me to bludgeon you to death and eat your dog!")? No? Well fine then, don't go anywhere near this.

Something for the haunted house next year

2005-11-09T06:02:00.000-06:00

Here in the Allianz supply department, we have a haunted house every year around the end of October (hmm... I wonder what is happening around then, that is all haunted like), any way here is an air gun I think we should use next year.

It's a dark day for WoWers who actually hold continuity and reason as values. "Hmm! People have been clamoring for Blood Elves, of which there are supposed to be maybe a hundred on the planet, but which EVERYONE would fucking play, resulting in a supposedly-rare race popping up around every damned street corner! Plus, to make them....fuck it, let's just re-texture Night Elves with human skin textures! Switch them to Horde and...done! Now PvPers will have a cool new reason to play Horde and vastly outnumber Alliance, and RPers will have an entirely new race added that will bring Alliance-style angst, theatrics, and drama to the Horde side! Perfect! Let's go back to making those 10 new dungeons instead of bug fixes."

It's...it's a sad day.

Alaska

2005-10-21T05:49:00.000-05:00

Here is a link to penny arcades "cool stuff" page. On this page is a link to Ads they made for the Alaska board of Tourism, and I think that they should have used them. Oh well.

By the way, I want to thank Marty for linking us on his MartyEmail website.

An awesome test I will have to take later

2005-09-28T06:03:00.000-05:00

It is about time for me to get to work, but first here is a link to the "Are you a pirate, or a ninja" test. Enjoy.

HOLY CRAP!

2005-09-27T07:48:00.000-05:00

This is awesome! Our military has trained dolphins to shoot terroists with poision dart guns that will put them to sleep. It is possible that some of them are missing in the gulf coast, because of Katrina, but this is still both hilarious, and awesome.

It is I?

2005-09-20T11:14:00.000-05:00

It is I the Fallen one. The one who has fallen from the ranks at Allianz. The one who no longer is the clown of the office. But I will Return. I will become stronger and better... MHWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THEY CAN REBUILD ME, THEY CAN MAKE ME BETTER... Maybe...

Arrrh!

2005-09-19T07:28:00.000-05:00

Th' first International Talk Like A Pirate day has officially begun, me hearties. I meself will be talkin' this way wherever th' seas take me today, and be relishin' th' weird looks I'll no doubt be gettin' from people.

Yeesh.

2005-09-16T23:21:00.000-05:00

Just got home after being chased at high speed by some drunken high schoolers in an SUV. They're harassing people in the parking lot of the movie theater, honking and yelling and laughing at people, I subtly flip them off and they follow me for an hour and a half. My phone had no power, so calling the cops was not an option. As a final display of revenge, they throw a beer bottle at my car, scoring a glancing blow on the front of my hood. Real smart, suckmuppets...nothing quite like INCRIMINATING YOURSELVES to teach me a lesson. Fortunately enough, they were stoned off their asses most likely, so I lost them fairly easily. Still a little shaken up that they might show up at my farking door, however.

"Enjoy your spaghetti, you're reckless drivers."

Bwahahah.

At last, my dreams of being the ruler of a fascist dictatorship nation have come true, and the corporate police state of Matagonia is in full bloom. Take a gander at www.nationstates.net.

I am not dead!

2005-09-08T16:58:00.000-05:00

Contrary to the evidence on my blogs (most specifically, this one) I am in fact alive, and tired. Here is a nice little treat, and I think Marty would love this one.

It is a classic touch tone phone handset that you can plug into your cell phone and use. I love one of their suggested uses for it:

"Just plug-in and dial - or for added effect, put your cell phone in your pant's pocket - then it looks like you're talking on a phone connected to... well, who knows?"

The genealogy of the game controller

2005-06-01T12:19:00.000-05:00

As an avid gamer, I found this very interesting. Apparently some guy decided to trace the lineage of the modern game controller back to their historic roots. Wow that last sentence made this sound like it was wasn't the stupid waste of time we all know it was.

Another team member

2005-06-01T06:03:00.000-05:00

Ok, in order to hide the fact that I am lazy, and as such do not post on this blog very often I have recruited yet another friend of mine from work to be a team member on this blog. His name is Mike.

A gamer's manifesto

2005-06-01T05:54:00.000-05:00

This is a great 20 point article about what current gamers want out of the next generation of video game systems that are currently on the horizon. I think that this article is pretty close to what many of us gamers want, some of the things include computer AI that actually challenges us, while at the same time the game doesn't do something stupid (like have no ammo) to make the game more "challenging" but only makes the game more annoying.

Star Wars 3

2005-05-31T12:17:00.000-05:00

An interesting zombie website

2005-05-10T10:39:00.000-05:00

While this one is a little political, I still think it is funny, and goes along with the zombie theme of this blog, so here you go: the online campaign for the Bush/Reagen-zombie ticket for president.

A new member

2005-05-09T12:32:00.000-05:00

I have opened up an invitation to a friend of mine to become a member of this blog. That means if he accepts, then he will be able to post here too. Hopefully the minds of two crazy people will work better then only one. His name is Ryan, and he has started his own blog. He has yet to do much there, and for all those who don't know, it is full of final fantasy references.

How light sabers work

2005-05-09T12:29:00.000-05:00

This is an interesting topic. I always thought light sabers worked by computer generated images, but I guess I was wrong...

A great time honored tradition

2005-04-26T05:38:00.000-05:00

Once again another school is about over, and that means that it is almost time for the annual celebration of conservatism at the U of M, El Dos De Mayo! For those of you who don't know any Spanish, that is The second of May, which is a Monday this year, and, in fact, is less then a week away. This year is the tenth annual El Dos De Mayo, and we will be starting out at Sally's down in Stadium Village at 3 pm, and we will be there until about 8, and that is when everyone will head over to Stub and Herb's from about 8 until 1 am. From there any who are still around will pile into the vehicles of those who can drive, and we will all head down to the Pizza Shack to close off the night from about 1 until 3 or so. All in all there are 12 hours of festivities, and all are welcome, so if you are anywhere near the university of Minnesota Twin cities campus, come on down and celebrate a year of conservative activism.

Another update on finger chiligate

2005-04-22T16:23:00.000-05:00

Well the women who found the finger in her chili has now been arrested. Props to Tony on finding this.

How to survive a zombie attack

2005-04-19T18:19:00.000-05:00

"You might be squeamish at first, taking out your neighbors; with time this will pass, you might even adopt a gleeful hangman's sense of humor in your executions."

Here is a link a great article. I suggest everyone reading this bookmark this page, so that in case of an unspeakable disaster you will have this guide at your fingertips.

This guy is fearless

2005-04-16T22:20:00.000-05:00

Here is a story about a surfer who was attacked by a shark, fought the shark off, and then starting surfing again.

"A surfer fought off a seven-foot shark with his board at an Australian beach Saturday, and then continued surfing, a life guard said."

Zombie Survival test

2005-04-14T07:24:00.000-05:00

Check it out! Marty scored a 63% on the Zombie scenario survivor test. (see here) Now see what I scored:

Official Survivor
Congratulations! You scored 84%!

Whether through ferocity or quickness, you made it out. You made the
right choice most of the time, but you probably screwed up somewhere.
Nobody's perfect, at least you're alive.

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 97% on survivalpoints

Some follow up

2005-04-13T15:43:00.000-05:00

Here is a follow up story on the lady who found a finger in her chili at Wendy's. Apparently she will not be sueing them.

This kid is messed up

2005-04-12T12:54:00.000-05:00

Here is a link to a story about a kid who stole a dead mans head, probably to turn it into a bong. That is just wrong. There is not much more to say about this.

"Court documents said the suspect allegedly talked of using the man's head as a bong or a pipe for smoking marijuana."

Bush's ipod

2005-04-11T11:06:00.000-05:00

This is an article that talks about what is on the "first ipod".

Incredible Popeman

2005-04-08T16:49:00.000-05:00

This man has done what many have feared to do: turn the pope into a super hero. Here is the link to the story.

"[T]he late Polish pontiff meet[s] comic book legends such as Batman and Superman to learn how to use superpowers to battle Satan." This honestly sounds pretty funny.

" 'The pope was a real-life superhero, of flesh and blood,' said Colombian artist Rodolfo Leon" And now he will be a superhero of paper and ink.

Also, according the article, some publisher here in the US is interested in this comic. I can't wait to see this in person.

What I would do if I was an evil overlord

2005-04-06T05:48:00.000-05:00

Here is the link to the list of the top 100 things to do if you become an evil overlord. A friend of mine in high school showed these to me, and I thought they were funny, but I couldn't find them again. Now here they are.

My favorite is # 50: "My main computers will have their own special operating system that will be completely incompatible with standard IBM and Macintosh powerbooks" May I suggest Linux?

An interesting side note

2005-04-05T05:44:00.000-05:00

Does anyone else find it ironic that the spell check that blogger provides, doesn't know the word "blog"?

Please check this out

2005-04-05T05:39:00.000-05:00

This is just wrong. I can't explain or give any details, that would ruin it, just click the link please. Just so you know, this is not inappropriate material, it is just...strange.

I park like an idiot bumper stickers

This is, if nothing else, very entertaining. Make sure you scroll down, and look at the pictures they have, they are the best part.

Good news for my dad

2005-04-03T14:13:00.000-05:00

My dad has asthma. He is allergic to cats, well now there is a chemical that can help treat that allergy

"The compound, tested in mice bred to be allergic to cats, virtually shut down the histamine reaction that caused the uncomfortable symptoms of cat allergies such as runny eyes, sneezing and itching, Dr. Andrew Saxon of UCLA and his colleagues reported."

On an other note, how mean are those scientists? The mice they bred not only have to run for their lives from cats, but they have to be able to get away while sneezing? Thats just wrong, it would have been funnier to do it the other way, have cats allergic to mice. That way the cats would have to chase and catch the mice, while sneezing. I would have laughed it they had done that.

mmmm....finger chili....

2005-04-01T15:21:00.000-06:00

This is disgusting, but still hilarious:

"A 39-year-old woman bit into a human finger while eating chili at a Wendy's fast food restaurant in San Jose, California. Health officials say the woman shouldn't suffer any ill effects because the finger was safely cooked at 170 degrees in the chili."

Here is the link, and here is the link to the story from an actual news orginization.

The cycle is complete

2005-04-01T11:26:00.000-06:00

In the beginning there was the Star Wars trilogy, and it was good. Then there was merchandising, and it was a little ridiculous, but oh well. In this merchandising there was Star Wars Legos (and they were awesome). This merchandising also included Star Wars video games based on the movies. These sucked. Then George Lucas said "Let there be a new a trilogy", and there was. This new trilogy has its moments, but also had a lot of sucks stuff to it. Then there was new Star Wars Legos based on the new trilogy. Also there were new games based on this new trilogy. I got no clue how any of these were. But now there is a video game based on the Legos that are based on the new trilogy that is the prequel to the first trilogy which George Lucas made long long ago. Here's the link: Craziness

A new day, a new blog.

2005-04-01T10:45:00.000-06:00

For those of you who know me, yes I am crazy and oddly obsessed with starting new blogs. For those keeping count this is the fourth one I have created, and the fifth that I can make posts on. If you are curious the others are My MSA campaign Blog, My Test Blog, The SFV Officer Blog, and of course my main blog Rants of a Right Wing Wacko.

For some time Rants was intended to be something of a political nature, then it was used for random crap, and now I am trying to make it something of a political blog again. However that created a problem. This problem is that I then have no where to post random stuf that I find on the internet. That is until today. You see that is the purpose of this blog. I intend to use this blog to post all of the random and stupid stuff that I find on the internet.

So if you enjoy reading about crazy things on this here internet (and you go to MartyEmail Mayhem daily, like me) then come back to this blog from time to time, and you might find something interesting (or at least something stupid you can laugh at).
