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!

Scrabble Points: 0

It has come to my attention recently that there are a very select group of people that like to talk. At great length. About anything at all. Just talktalktalktalktalktalk despite any insistence on the listener's part that they please stop, as the listener would like to spend a productive fifteen-twenty minutes working.

However, if one is extra lucky they may find a rare person in that select group of talkers. A rare person who uses the non-word "misconstruted" in the course of a conversation.

It's the little things.

Two Completely Unrelated Items

1. I do not like it when someone says they will take care of/handle/work on something, and then not follow through on it. Because of a recent situation exactly like this, I am now scrambling to get all kinds of official city government paperwork in order to receive permits, licenses, and use of electric/water/etc for a very large fundraising event I help organize. This is all very simple form-filling type stuff, that I could 100% have worked on and gotten finished a month ago. The person who said they would 'take care of it' has not only not done this work, but has also not told the committee he hasn't done it. Fantastic. Selfish prick.


And now that I have that off my chest, here is the next thing on my list - I did a little touch-up work to it, haha!

2.

I am hoping those two little black cycle-jobbers turn out to be a couple of Soundwave's not-so-much-cassettes-anymore buddies. That would be pretty sweet. Also, the chances of the silver car being Wheeljack or Tracks are very slim. It's probably Hot Rod or something lame like that. Ah well.

Impossible to Improve Upon

There is nothing that will make this better or funnier than it already is. Classic!
