February 22nd, 2006 at 4:18 pmNice commercial! snif, snif I was hoping to see myself in it, but no, no inner 19 year olde emptyYut. No stopping at the drive-thru at 2:34 a.m. and waiting for 45 minutes for the damn speaker box to get a move on! NO! Nothing! Only a damn rent-a-cop after an hour insisting it was closed. I’m stilled annoyed at the poor service.

Um, it starts with a lady in an office copy room reaching for a binder, and time slows down and suddenly everyone in the office is frozen, then shows a bunch of other grown ups all frozen in time, and little kids climb out of their bellies, and go to McDonalds, where they sit and eat their sandwiches and ice creams in their little suits and on their cell phones.

February 24th, 2006 at 2:20 amYes, it does. Perhaps one with a water-proof keyboard would be good.

February 24th, 2006 at 9:50 amNo no, they make these laser things that you set down on a surface (any surface!) and it beams a keyboard on your surface, and senses where your fingers fall. Then you have better than a waterproof keyboard, you have a no-keyboard-to-spill-on-proof-thingie-thing!

Ben Affleck sends up his reputation as a ladies man in this amusing ad that has the Hollywood star using a clicker to count the admiring glances he collects in a single day…
Silly.

We were watching the downhill skiing last night, and he was all “I think I heard the American team is wearing that new Nike material that hardens on impact” and I gaped at him.
New Scientist - US and Canadian skiers get smart armour
A futuristic flexible material that instantly hardens into armour upon impact will protect US and Canadian skiers from injury on the slalom runs at this year’s Winter Olympics.
The lightweight bendable material, known as d3o, can be worn under normal ski clothing. It will provide protection for US and Canadian skiers taking part in slalom and giant slalom races in Turin, Italy. Skiers normally have to wear bulky arm and leg guards to protect themselves from poles placed along the slalom run.
It’s like Batman.
Developed by the Graffiti Research Lab a division of the Eyebeam R&D OpenLab, LED Throwies are an inexpensive way to add color to any ferromagnetic surface in your neighborhood. A Throwie consists of a lithium battery, a 10mm diffused LED and a rare-earth magnet taped together. Throw it up high and in quantity to impress your friends and city officials.
Weird.

February 15th, 2006 at 12:43 pmI assume everyone around the blog is going to interrupt their Winter Olympics thing Sunday for the ‘500. Perhaps our hostess will live TeeVee blog it.
/laughing to myself. It would be interesting, especiallty for those outside of the States.

February 15th, 2006 at 1:50 pmI don’t know, the demolition derby of short-track speed-skating is hard to beat.
You may not be aware that Australia’s first ever gold medal at a winter olympics (the one before this one) was won by a speed-skater from Brisbane (I used to seem him training on in-line skates when I was cycling around Queensland Uni) who won by virtue of all the other competitors taking each other out on the last lap. (He was struggling along, half a lap behind at the time). This happened not once, but twice, both in the semi-final and the final. The title of his subsequent auto-biography was, of course, Last Man Standing.

February 15th, 2006 at 2:39 pmI love speed skating. I seem to remember not the last Olympics in Salt Lake (we were in Philly then without TV) but Nagano, I guess, everyone falling all over themselves every race. This year it seems to be the figure skaters doing that.
Right so, your new Gold Medallist had the most hilarious interview with the CBC today! If, indeed, you can call it an “interview”. It was more of a “dressing down”.

February 15th, 2006 at 3:40 pmHey I missed that! Was that the Canadian Broadcasting Company? Calling him a traitor, were they?

ninme Says:
February 15th, 2006 at 4:28 pmYeah. The CBC guy was like, “Oh a lot of people are really torn that they’re happy that you won but wish it could have been for Canada! Do you feel that way?” And he was all, “Uh, no.” And the CBC guy was like, “Why did you leave?” and he explained, and then there was one question I forget, but the last one was like, “Well a lot of Canadians are upset that you left and won this medal for Australia, and are disappointed.” That’s it. A statement. And the guy kind of made a shruggy face (you know, twist your face up a little, eyes shift to the side for a moment, narrowing, like you’re not really sure what to do) and said “Well, I can’t really be responsible for the feelings of other people” or something. Man, it was funny. I mean, it was just so unprofessional.

February 20th, 2006 at 1:39 amLook, Brett, the whole point of the Winter Olympics is that it’s the one event in which Australia doesn’t win a bloody medal. That’s the whole deal. You get to win the swimming and the cricket and the Rugby League and the tennis and you even get the occasional successful runner as well. In return places like Finland get to win the going downhill on a tea tray, and the ski-ing about with a rifle and such like. Bah!!!

Quoth Peter:
Oh. My. Goodness.
I think you’ll agree that this is the video to end all other videos. Why even bother after this. Seriously.
I won’t say anything else about it, to not give anything away, but if you can find out what category I’ve put it in…
Oh, and in case you were looking for something a little more serious, he also sent me this:

LOL! This morning I got a guy assemblin a computer desk…
A fine parody… I do have to ask tho, because it’s driving me to near annoyerness…. What was the theme musik?
February 28th, 2006 at 6:08 pm
Oh damnit! We were trying to remember it as well! Peter thought of the Beetlejuice music but then seemed to discount it, and since I’d never seen the movie I couldn’t be any help. God that’s funny you should bring that up as well.
February 28th, 2006 at 9:50 pm
Yeh, I got the guy struggling over desk assembly instructions and thought that was the joke.
Now I see the real thing - haha! Inside job?
February 28th, 2006 at 10:39 pm
What joke? God I have to stop reading you peoples’ comments after dinner. I’m too muddled.
