I have been busy at work these past two weeks and I normally don’t watch much TV. But this episode of The Daily Show from March 18th makes me wish I’d at least DVR’ed this show. Jon Stewart is not really a political hack and he does make fun of everyone. That’s his job and [...]
Humor
Turtles!
Really need to admire the Auto-Tune the news videos I would be really cool if they got Katie Couric to actually be on these videos.
Well I sure taught the snow who’s boss
All day yesterday it snowed from around midnight to at least 11:30 PM. Several times I went out and cleared the driveway. Around the end of my second pass I noticed that the oil cap came off on my snow thrower and oil was burning. I shut it down and replaced the cap. Later on [...]
Will it snow this time?
Last Friday night the LIRR was talking about if 10 inches of snow fall, then they will shut down the entire train system. That only sounds bad since last time it snowed some poor people were kidnapped and held hostage against their will for many hours on a disabled train. The idea is that it [...]
8 bags of garbage
My family and I have been living in our house for over 5 years now. During that time, I have cleaned up my junk in the basement a couple of times. Our kids? Not once. Our basement looked like an organized mess. All of their toys (mostly broken) were piled up against the wall. That [...]
And now our report on the news
I think Charlie Brooker gets it. The news format is perfect. Now if only someone could get Stone Phillips to do this skit on the Daily Show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtGSXMuWMR4&feature=player_embedded
Amazing stuff this “gasoline”
So this morning I attacked the pile of snow in my driveway. The gas from last year became no good so the snow thrower was stalling like crazy. Crazy as in every minute or so. This is not news to me, I had just thought that the power of positive thinking would make the old [...]
Wow, it’s still coming down
Looks like I will have to use the snow thrower after all. Good thing it’s all gassed up. I started it yesterday before the snow came down. At work Friday there was some discussion about what contingency plans will be for coverage on Monday. That’s not looking like such a bad idea right now.
Some HD YouTube is worth it
This has been making the rounds but worth repeating here. Seeing this in HD is amazing. It gets really fun around 2:53.
Ice cream anyone?
At work I had offered months ago to walk over to Carvel on 2nd Avenue between 24th and 23rd streets. This was in return for the help I had gotten from the NOC. It was turning into an on going joke and today when I was reminded about it I said “It’s not too cold, [...]
