1: WANTED: Stats geek to hang out with hot babes. Inquire within.
2: Q: When did Russians start being awesome? A: Once you click this !!!
3: The problem with me in living in the suburbs across the street from a very expensive private high school, is that I just don't have any empathy for anybody around here. A kid from the school was driving his Audi hatchback like a dickweed, and the person he cut off and/or tailgated followed him until he parked [in front of my house] and started yelling at him. Then her shirtless, shoeless husband started getting all up in the kid's grille. And as the argument got more heated, I realized I wasn't on the side of the kid or the 'adult'- I was really just hoping for mutual assured destruction, and maybe some fire. Instead, police were called and, in true Kenmore fashion, three squad cars showed up.
Moral: Don't be an asshat in front of my house, unless you have the courtesy to catch fire.
4: 'I forgot to opt out' email marketing is in some ways worse than spam. You can't mark it as spam in good conscience. I have a mailbox called Unimportant and a rule set up. The rule got so long that I had to split it in two due to a bounds error/distributed infinite loop in Gmail [good work guys]. My shit list:
5: Everybody seems to be talking about Chrome. I like that it keeps track of your most often visited sites, but I don't think that's enough to set the world on fire.
6: Cloud computing is keen but I wish it wasn't all in beta. Google App Engine is very tightly integrated and free, but how much can you do when you don't have write access to the filesystem and all your requests, responses, and database records need to be under 1MB? Amazon Web Services don't care about file or transfer size, but their database isn't totally online yet. And when Yahoo gets into the game I'm sure it will be totally awesome except that nobody will realize that it exists.

Awesome video. Pure and distilled undead awesomeness! The real question is how in the world do you locate all these eastern-european/estonian/russian videos? I have this sneaking suspicion that you are somehow subscribed to an exclusive cross-global cult underground RSS feed.
The word dickweed reminds me of the company Milweed that used to market the tiny memory footprint downloader "wackget". I think the company died. Their website got taken over by one of those bazillion fake search-engine type of deals. I guess it must be fun to call the police and see them wreck havoc on idiots. I want to be able to do that someday - or maybe not because the idiot situation itself might be rather stressful. I am so torn!
Ha! While you conscientiously sort through marketing and spam, people with very little brain space (like yours truly) indiscriminately hit the spam button the minute they see an email that doesn't belong. I guess its bad for business in the long run but I just can't find the energy to actually go through a whole e-bale of marketing to find out who is genuine and who isn't. I am not sure my spam-button happy attitude helps any.
Is cloud computing what I think it is? Even you don't have a powerful processor, other processors on the network "cloud" share your workload? Or is this something else completely?

born a ramblin manCategory: misc
1. In the United States, the word that precedes 'historic' is 'a,' not 'an.' 'An' precedes a vowel sound, and the 'h' is not silent. If you have thought enough about it to decide to use 'an,' you will probably also think enough about it to not pronounce it like a bad Shaw character. It ain't none of mine if you want to do that on (e:strip), but if you're someone who writes for a newspaper, you and your editor should both maybe have half a clue.
2. The last time I went grocery shopping I saw the potatoes labelled as 'pommes de terre,' and I thought that was kind of funny and evocative. Then my brain took a left-hand turn at 'noms de guerre' and ended up at 'pommes de guerre,' which sounds mischievous and awesome.
3. When I was a kid we had three pear trees and more pears than we knew what to do with. If you were on our shit list, we'd ring your doorbell and run away, leaving a grocery bag of like fifty pears on your porch. The ones that fell off the tree and rotted, we would dispose of by playing pearball ['poires de guerre?']. A soft underhand lob, an aluminum baseball bat, a spray of sticky mess. I wonder why I was always the pitcher?
4. We also had an apple tree that never produced any fruit worth eating for as long as I can remember. This summer - with my mom in San Diego and me mowing her lawn - it's apple armageddon.

Z is correct with respect to pronunciation in the United States. "An" is only used when the following "h" is silent. For example - I gave an honest effort at giving a shit about work today. We don't say "an hawnest effort." Still though, both uses are commonly acceptable and used in print (unless Z is reading it!). Typically I think it is a bit douchy to use "an historic" as it sounds forced in almost every instance. Maybe it reflects our lack of refinement? Hah. In almost every case speakers mute the hard H in historic in that case, thus unknowingly conforming to the standard I've already mentioned.
Pronouncing the "h" in herbs, I gather anyway, is a British English pronunciation. I don't think about foreigners' pronunciation in that level of detail. I can understand being a little self-conscious of it though - people just want to say it correctly, that's all.

I am conflicted about the a and an all the time. I pronounce the h in words like Herbs. You don't. I don't want to sound like I am using wrong grammar, but sometimes, it just depends on how conscious I am of being in another country.

Your title reminds me that I have not heard Grave Digger in a very long time. :::link:::
This weekend is going to be a Grave-Digging extravaganza.
The first search for Pommes De Guerre turned up this: :::link::: -> Apparently a popular thing to be thrown onstage at rockstars.
I am ambivalent about my liking for pears. I used to like them. I like pear juice. But I am not sure I like them so much any more. They rot easily and don't keep for long.

yeah paulCategory: traffic
It happens to me too. Today is the second day of football practice:
Notice the situation: has parked illegally across my driveway to avoid parking illegally next to a fire hydrant. Had furthermore left the car unattended for several minutes, which was what seriously irked me. Had enough sense to pull away when I pulled out the camera.
Earlier this morning they ticketed a station wagon for, boringly, parking in front of that self same hydrant. If I start calling these in, I wonder if the town will start paying me commission?

what makes her specialCategory: nsfw
She sends me a photo, and some commentary.
But this is not the commentary of any Earth being:
'I don't even know how you'd process a photo to get it to look like that ... Grooviest is how the light fixture is hanging off-center.'

yeah that shot of her boob and his wang inside her but still out so you can see it, is pretty hot. Not to mention her boobs look pretty big and she looks back over the shoulder like she is posing, oh even though old very hot. What does that web site say up top?

I didn't think you needed me to point out, "So that dude is totally fucking that chick and it's hot."
I mean, duh.

Nice story!
My brother just told me that he saw the article/picture with you and (e:dragonlady) in the paper. I never saw it, why didn't you guys post it?
I had a difficult time explaining to myself why some of her stuff made me silently giggle.
