You have a week. Break out your 3x5 cards

Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in this history of mankind.

Mankind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today.

We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.

We will be united in our common interests.

Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from annihilation.

We're fighting for our right to live, to exist.

And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:

"We will not go quietly into the night!

We will not vanish without a fight!

We're going to live on!

We're going to survive!"

Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!

Why I need a truck

How great would an F-150 with Fighter Jets painted on the side of it be?

What about a picture of a fresco of an F-150 with Fighter Jets painted on the side of it?

What if those Fighter Jets had F-150s painted on them?

Vernacular Abuse

Carlos and I chit-chatted about this one yesterday: has the word 'awesome' been abused? I'm on the verge of retiring it as the catch-all phrase for everything above ho-hum and reserving for things that are really 'awesome'.

In it's place would have to be another word: my vote is for 'spectacular' any other ideas?

Superpower

Suddenly, I wish I had the ability to bleed from my eyes on cue. This would come in handy every time I told a quality assurance joke.

Honestly, I'd be afraid it would engulf my car.

The actual explanation makes no sense

When mankind is laid to rest he will be known as doing one thing, and doing it well: creating JuJu Fruits.

Has your mind been blown today?

Seriously!

Say it with me now...

A minor quibble about the words 'blog' and 'post'.

It is incorrect to say, "I wrote a blog about that today." Unless, of course, you are insane and create new blogs for each new thought you have.

If that is true, then—you in fact did "write a blog about that."

Instead, use the word 'post'. It refers to each entry in a blog. A blog is a collection—a compendium if you will—of posts.

However, both the word 'post' and 'blog' are also verbs. It is considered epic win to say, "I blogged about 'Drinking Chai Latte's on my Macbook-Silver Colored Fixie' in a post today on my blog."

Saying, "I wrote a blog about that today is akin to saying, "I wrote a newspaper about that today."

I found this when searching for a cell line. I loves me the randomness of google sometimes.

I can't decide how racist this one is though

Dirty Mind

This video is pretty funny even if you get your mind out of the gutter:

Yes, I fully intend to use this blog solely to post random videos that I think are hilarious.

I like it when people are amusing in their ridiculous sincerity. Like the kid who said that my returning the Yellow Team's flag was "boss diesel."

Speaking of which, this Rental Car Rally seems fairly boss diesel. Either that, or it's a huge foreign experience for NYCers to drive a car. Lousy public transport hoggers.

It is my very favorite gun

Oh Joss Wheadon knows what I like. And in this case it is musical blogs.

Thought: Do bowlers in the Southwest have to check their bowling balls for scorpions?

(This was spurred by the unattended, free-range bowling balls we found in an alley by my office. Now, there is a bowling ball sitting on top of a filing cabinet. Somehow, I think it's irresponsible to put a heavy object in a place with copious amounts of potential energy.)

There was a small burst of clever pictures circling the vicinity of my work email this morning, started by this which was rebutted with this.
They both make me tear up, but for very different reasons

Growing Insanity

I just wanted to contribute to this blog in a small way, but couldn't think of anything worth posting. Then I stumbled across this...

As long as I've got my bloggin' shoes on...

I was going to make a post about my latest skit idea/redundant invention, (the solar-powered lamp!) mostly to mock myself for thinking of it. Then I fired up the old Google machine, and what do I find?

Blog failure.

What's that sound?

That low, rumbling noise you heard all day was Chris, vomiting all over his keyboard due to us ruining the sanctity of blogging by choosing such a ridiculous name.
