hawks and stuff

GO HAWKS! Smooty hooked me up, so I will be at the playoff game this weekend between the Seahawks and the team that is going to lose, the Redskins. Even if its raining, I am going to love it.

and check this out a little golf trivia game. try and beat 17...on your first try.

also, I am hoplessly addicted to Hexic HD, the game that comes with the Xbox360. I have spent hundreds on this stupid system and games and downloading arcade games like the original Guantlet and Joust (which rock by the way), and I keep loading up the fucking free game. If anyone else reads this, and is similarily addicted, and needs help with the black pearl and the final couple achievments, check this forum out. I am gonna try these tips tonight and you should see a higher gamer score to the left by tomorrow. Of course, I haven't drank in a week, and my sister is in town, so there is the possibility that I will pass out before I get to play, and then have the hawks game tomorrow, and not get to play until sunday...
and speaking of Joust, found a site with hints http://web.mit.edu/kaihow/www/joust.html

lovely journalism

A good article from N8, about fraternity life. Yeah its a little over the top, but as long as you have been to college or know someone who has been in the greek system, you can find it funny.

And then more fun with the local journalists. Apparently if you read a statistic, and then make it into a blaring headline, that sells papers. Cowlitz has state's highest gonorrhea rate

but on the plus side, the Daily News reported about something good yesterday. A new employer coming to town trailing millions in revenues, thousands in taxes for the county, and hundreds of jobs. And some more specifics on Lyman Lumber today. This is great for our area.

And in case you want to move here, you don't need to bring your own water. I think yesterday was our 35 day of rain or some crazy ass stat like that. And that doesn't even come close to the record of like 50 days. Anyone know how to build a fucking Ark?

Hell on Earth

So as some of you out there know, I work for a plumbing and industrial supply wholesaler as a plumbing salesman. And this month happens to be our dreaded inventory. Here's a little background on my company; we just so happen to be the largest wholesaler in the world with locations everywhere (including Europe). The branch I work for has over 10,000 items on our shelves out in our warehouse with a value easily over a million dollars. So starting Saturday (I usually work Monday through Friday; ten hours a day) we will be spending time out in our lovely warehouse which as of right now is just a little bit colder than a beer cooler. I can seriously see my own breath out there it's that cold. Hopefully Saturday will be a short day and we won't have to work Sunday (that's what management is saying; but you know how they are). But next weekend starting Friday I will stay until a little after midnight only to be back Saturday morning at six in the morning. Saturday night we will probably be here until midnight, run home and take a quick nap and come back Sunday morning probably between 6 and 8. The weekend after that there is a handful of employees from our branch who will be going down to Portland, Oregon's branch and helping them count. I just so happen to be lucky enough to have to go to Portland. About four months ago I got a little promotion into the office from our front desk. One of the stipulations of the promotion was going from hourly pay to salary. I am kicking myself now. So basically this place owns me for the next month and I'm there bitch. And that sucks. Almost as bad as the ladies at Wal-Mart (you know what I'm talking bout Stephaine). So to all of you out there have a safe January and hopefully I will get a chance to post sometime soon. Seacrest out!

cell phones instead of wallets?

(again, sorry this isn't original stuff, but this was too cool not to mention)
Cell Phones as Electronic Wallets
The standardization of near-field communication (NFC) is a form of short-range radio transmission technology that could potentially transform cell phones into electronic wallets. Equipping mobile phones with NFC chips would allow various "smart" cards to be combined within a single device with data display screens.
It is hoped that NFC will appeal to consumers as a way to merge a wallet, transport card and identity card into a single device. Sony, Nokia, MasterCard, Motorola and Visa are among NFC's supporters.

(I want a cool phone that works as my credit card and Id, and has a camera and can only be used by me. that would be some james bond shit.)

just a few good links

Nothing too original today...don't have the time. But I had to post a link to the story about the guy who jumped on the ice during a Canadians practice and took a shot on goal. They didn't arrest him, they just kind of said, nice shot, but I blocked your ass. hockey wannabe
and a few other good stories I had to check out after I read this one.
dead 2 1/2 years
dead drunk (being drunk can turn out real, real bad...)
and a link to 50 ways to get fired from N8.
I especially like the hasslehoff idea.

public service anouncement

You may not of heard, but I am a banker. And the news on the street is Wal-mart wants to get into banking. I'm not in the mood for debate on monopolies and the government and public structure, but this cartoon pretty much says it all.

(if you can't read all those signs, its the rubble left over from hardware stores, drug stores, grocery stores, clothing stores...you get the idea)

great sites and Willie doesn't know

Too good sites that Smoot contributed, but for some reason didn't post.

and, for those of you that know Josh B., this is funny. Willie emailed me part of the lyrics from Scotty Doesn't Know, from the movie Eurotrip. And I thought it would be funny to change them, and switch scotty to willie, and matt damon to burckhardt, the cockblocker.

willie thinks shes here to see him.
but shes here for my cum.
cause willie doesnt know, willie doesnt know

hes buying her drinks all night,
while I find out shes tight.
cause willie doesnt know, willie doesnt know.

still seems funny to me, but maybe you had to be there...
