Do You Like Dolphins?

Military trained dophins are on the loose! They're equiped with poison darts and trained to shoot at people in wetsuits. So, if you're in the Gulf of Mexico area, beware of dolphins. Also, even bigger news about the dolphins! Could this be the end of mankind?

William Shatner Performs "Rocket Man"

Bill's interpretation of Rocket Man is funny all by itself, but it made me appreciate the attention to detail in Stewie's spoof on Family Guy. Great stuff.

Heat Vision and Jack

The Unoffical Heat Vision and Jack Fansite is apparently one of many websites promoting this cult hit TV show.

Some things you need to know
Jack Black plays an astronaut, and is now the world's smartest man.
Owen Wilson plays the voice of his motorcycle: The motorcycle with the mind of his unemployed roommate.
Ben Stiller is the director (He IS the director, he doesn't play one on the show).
... well, that is to say they did: this show was passed up by FOX in 1999, or something.

I checked out the introduction for the show (click on Jack Black's face in the upper left corner), and I must say it showed quite a bit of promise if you get the joke: It is supposed to be cheesy. I know, I know... you probably already knew that. Some people don't. Humor in the form of everything being cheesy is sometimes hard to detect by some, and that's ok, you're probably higher class than me so at least you've got moneys.

More NY Stories.

While I was in New York I didn't get to go sight seeing too much, which kind of sucked, but I did get to see the Museum of Modern Arts. That was really exciting. I got to see a lot of famous art works by Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh (Starry Night was especially quite moving in real life), Seurat, Monet, and many, many more. I really wish I had my camera (and that it wasn't broken), cause they let you take pictures there.
One of the places we ate at was a Brazilian all you can eat B-B-Q place (and don't let the name fool you, it was high quality). It was soooo awesome, if you ever see one I recommend you go! But go for lunch, dinner is really expensive.
At night time, we usually went from bar to bar looking for live bands. One of the "bands" we saw was a one man band pretty much. It was this Irish guy with an electric acoustic guitar, a few effect pedals, and a loop pedal. Basically he'll play a part and the loop pedal records it and loops it so he can play a different part on the guitar at the same time. He would also record himself banging on the guitar to simulate drums (he'd hit it in different parts to get different sounds). And if he needed backing vocals, he'd sing into the guitar and it would record that and he'd sing to that. It was a really awesome show! Plus I really liked a lot of his songs.
We also saw another band called The Sick F*cks. They were totally not what we expected, I mean with a name like that, you'd think it was some hardcore metal band or something. You wouldn't expect a punk band that consisted of a bunch of 50 year old guys (and two female singers). One of the guys had a really short shorts on, stockings, and lipstick. I know it sounds creepy, but if you saw it you would have laughed! It was an unexpectedly good show. You should look them up sometime!
Well, if I think of other stories I forgot to mention that are worth mentioning I'll blog them later, for now, this is it! Hope you enjoyed the stories......

Funnies

Anwar the Great kindly requested me to mention this to people of my acquintance. He has some pretty cool comics in there somewhere.

The Opera Internet browser is now free.

Opera, for those who don't know about it, is a very nice browser, and for years you had to pay to use it, or get the free version without the ad-banner. Well, no longer, sonny! Get the free version!

Opera is awesome. I should use it more often, but I keep forgetting to. Good reasons to use it:

• It's fast. Often able to render things quicker than IE or Firefox.
• It's more secure than IE (definately) or Firefox (I think...).
• Built in support for gmail.
• email and rss client.
  
• Probably other stuff.

What's that? You use linux? Well, the download is available for a suprising amount of distros, as well (mostly the good ones).

Let the good times roll. Advertisement over.

OK, some NY stories

As I have promised, here are some of my stories of New York.

We've all seen movies and know how big New York is supposed to be. Well, let me tell you those movies do not prepare you for the sheer size of the City. The enormous buildings really belittle you, makes you feel very insignificant. I was really amazed as I drove into the City.
Oh yeah, another thing, DON'T EVER DRIVE TO NEW YORK! Well, at least into New York. My God! Worst place EVER to drive. It really sucked. It takes at least 30 min of just driving around in circles just to find a parking space. And just about every street is a one way... Really sucks.
Anywho, back to the stories. I went to go visit my sister and her boyfriend, and they're both officers in the Navy, and haven't had a chance to really spend their money till now...so that means they are loaded. They are spending as much money as possible. I mean, every night we ate at the best restaurants we could find and so on and so on. My favorite was when we got the bill Dora puts a $100 bill in the bill folder thingy, and hands it to the waiter and says "we don't need any change." So I asked her how much the bill was, her reply: "I don't know..."
While we were eating pizza as a late night snack (Its NY, you have to have pizza), two homeless guys come up to us and says "Hi, um, well, basically, we're both homeless, and we were hoping to raise enough money so that we could buy ourselves some beer." My sister's reply: "Wow, I'm really impressed with your guy's honesty, I'll tell you what, tell me what beers you guys want and I'll buy it for you." And so my sister helps the homeless people with their alcoholism. She's a great sister.
While we were walking around, we saw a couple guys sniffing cocaine in a phone booth. I just thought that was something you usually don't see (unless you live in New York, obviously).
I'm sure there's more stories, but I can't think of them right now, and I already wrote more than I usually do, so I'll stop here. Once I remember more interesting stories, I'll blog them. This is it for now, hope you guys found this somewhat interesting............

A thing worth a bloging

So Iraqi has a nice start to their new constitution. What do you think? For the whole thing see Iraqi for the wiki

"We the sons of Mesopotamia, land of the prophets, resting place of the holy imams, the leaders of civilization and the creators of the alphabet, the cradle of arithmetic: on our land, the first law put in place by mankind was written; in our nation, the most noble era of justice in the politics of nations was laid down; on our soil, the followers of the prophet and the saints prayed, the philosophers and the scientists theorized and the writers and poets created"

Buzz Sutherland: One funny man.

So Buzz Sutherland came to Fort Hays State University, and entertained a nice portion of the FHSU student body. He had some hilarious stuff, and for the life of me I can't remember it. The things I do remember, however, are his expressions and actions, which are hard to put down on paper and maintain the comicness of it all. The other things that I do remember, are perhaps a little too off color for this blog. Especially his Donald Duck routine, which is among some of his more popular stuff. Buzz Sutherland is to Donald Duck as Jeff Foxworthy is to Redneck stuff.

I can tell you, however, that I was involved in the show. Because he didn't ask my name, nor particularly care, he simply refered to me as Tator-Tot after I came up on stage (well, not so much a stage as it is a step. This was in Chuck's Place in Wiest Hall), and the other... huge... guy was known as Mountain something or other. The name escapes me for the moment.

Needless to say, he taught us some very slick dance moves. Here's all you need to know:
Get a confused look on your face.
Act like you're riding a horse.
Wiggle your head in a circular fashion.
...And I think there's more. Long story short, though, I managed to make the women swoon. No, wait, it was laugh hysterically.

But he did keep me onstage for the special light-pens-up-the-nose performed to the song, Duelling Banjos. He even let me keep the light pens!

So, in summary, Buzz Sutherland is funny.
