Merry (to Me)
Posted by AdamT | Filed under Comedy, Websites
I have been considering, lately, what to get my in-laws for Christmas. They are puzzling; I could ponder for months and still pass them a gift card… I have decided to apply the LCD (lowest common denominator to a primary schooler). Really quite a revolutionary idea, I will make the mirth of gifts available to all of the onlookers and perhaps the humored recipient as well.
Here are some of my ideas:
Kopi Luwak Coffee- Its the bile patina that you will relish. Roasted at 98F, and sorted by men of questionable habits (savoring the wak of lewaks), this bold and tangy bean is my top choice for this seasons greeting.
20 million candle torch- If your brother in law is a poacher, he will love the ability to spot and drop animals up to 200lbs, without even firing a shot. This torch likely has the ability to illuminate and fry the liver of an endangered species at 200 yards. Also remember that no matter how big an intruder is, his retina is like shrink wrap once you spot him with this must have.

Slugging
Posted by AdamT | Filed under Comedy, Uncategorized
Every now and then a trend arises that is considered revolutionary. Hitchhiking in the seventies, Ride-Sharing in the nineties, and now Slugging.
When a commuter (Slug) in DC does not want to ride public transit, or to drive, they may wait at a set location where they will be propositioned by a person in a car. The driver usually wishes to get another body into the car so that they can drive in the HOV lane. The offer will be a destination only, and the commuter will get into the vehicle of the person going his way. Born of an encounter of cheapness with poor planning; this trend has risen and developed its own fratish rules.
Rule #1 Slugs do not talk.

The Woes of Vista - Preformed by Apple
Posted by Jonathan | Filed under Comedy, Software, Technology, Video, Vista
Now, I’m not an Apple fan. I would prefer to use WindowsXP or even a Unix based system. But I have had to deal with Windows Vista on my sisters computer and so far I’m not a big fan, so here’s a little fun at Vistas expense.
Get the Flash Player to see this player.
Because of all the problems with Vista in the last 11 months since it’s release some people are asking to switch back to XP. I would be one of them until all the bugs are worked out of Vista in 3 years
