Let's talk Palin

Just a few brief thoughts on McCain's VP choice -
1. She's totally cool with opening up the Alaskan Natural Wildlife Preserve for oil drilling.
2. She's a creationist.
3. She doesn't actually know what the Vice President's job is.

I would add more, but it's difficult to type on a keyboard covered in puke.

I got my 'amber' eyeshield in the mail yesterday - it is a major part of the centerpiece for my Halloween costume. And it isn't 'amber.' Or even a little bit reflective/metallic/shiny looking, like the picture on the website proclaimed it to be:

It's bright yellow, and 100% transparent. I held it in place over the helmet last night, and I might as well not even have the damn thing on there. What a ripoff!

I am going to have to send it back now, and the company will screw me on that too: I have to pay for shipping it back (with all original papers, boxes, etc or they won't accept it), and if I don't place a new order or make an exchange at the time of return, they are going to deduct 10% of my refund as a restocking fee.

After getting a piss yellow eyeshield the first time around I don't really want to order another product from them, but I also don't want to have to pay two different charges and get nothing back from it.

Douchebags.

The waiting is going to kill me

Who is this?!? There has been absolutely NO word on who this will be. None.

And who are they? The Twins, most likely...it's really too bad Michael Bay couldn't get his hands on a couple Lamborghinis for them - that's they way they should be! Stink.

Now with more product placement goodness!

Thanks to one of the secret video saints on the forums (Gettodeath), here is the latest spy video of part of the Autobot fleet in action - Still no word on who the silver Corvette Centennial is, or the red & green zippy cars...but there's Optimus! And Ironhide. And a camera van.

Listen to the pipes on that Corvette!

Chupathingy!

Hot on the heels of a show I watched about these things last weekend, here is a news story/video about what may or may not be a Chupacabra. What are the odds? It just looks like a really yucky dog to me, but I'm not really an expert. Still interesting!

Possible side effects include...

This is pretty funny. Not, of course, for the poor folks who had their frontal lobes poked into mush. Found on mentalfloss.com -

Worst Nobel Prize Winner Ever: Once a Nobel Prize is given, it cannot be revoked. Now and again, the award goes to someone who maybe did not deserve it, but the most undeserving winner has to be Antonio Egas Moniz, the Portuguese physician who won the prize for medicine in 1946 for inventing—yes—the leucotomy prefrontal (lobotomy). Egas Moniz’s surgery consisted of—if we may simplify it a bit—drilling a few holes in a patient’s skull and then repeatedly stabbing the patient in the brain. The lobotomy seemed to be successful at curing people of schizophrenic and paranoid psychoses, but they proved to have fairly serious side effects,such as “becoming a vegetable” and “becoming dead.” Although lobotomies are rare today, thanks to an improved understanding of mental illness and psychosis treatments, they’re still occasionally performed in some parts of the world.

No. Just.....No.

Here is a little picture story I have created - chapters 1 & 2 are about me and my favorite football team. Chapter 3 has a shocking twist that has shaken the very foundations of my love of football, the principles of team loyalty, and gut-wrenching disbelief. Enjoy!
