More on the gay

More on the gay:

The Brown Eyed Girl song is definitely gay.

Oh, and I don't know if this is gay or not, but I've posted the Halloween Party Pictures on the Wayward Packet. Go Team!

Randomness

I saw a typo on a movie theater sign that made me stop and think. Yes folks, we don't need Charlie's Angels, we need Harley Angels. For those who are a bit put off by real women bikers, here is the other site.

Obscure quote

Now that the election is over, time for a very special quote —

Press on.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.

Talent will not: Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Genius will not: Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education alone will not: The world is full of educated derelicts.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

Five points if you can tell me where that is from.

Not so obscure

Sigh, next time I'll check before posting a supposedly obscure quote. The durn thing is all over the Internet and is almost certainly from Calvin Coolidge. I, of course, was thinking of the ad placed in California Living magazine after the 1972 election and paid for by McDonalds. Handlettered even. See, I just thought it had to be obscure. Oh well.

Politics

Well, I might not have voted for president, but I am addicted to Am I HOT or NOT. If they could only instill some of the empty-headed fun from that site into the presidential races, then I would certainly be a lot more interested in politics.

Of course, what do we need with a president anyway? If we need to send someone over for some kind of diplomatic event, send one of the Hooters Girls, if we need to veto something, ask some guy off the street, and if we need to make some kind of decision that will effect America's economy ... well, ... Alan Greenspan already does that.

Trust me, if we tried it we would never notice the difference.

Game consoles

There is an interesting article in Feed which talks about the PS2 v MS XBox arms race. I'm not much into gaming, but I found it interesting to hear that in two years computers should have the ability render in real time graphics that are indistinguishable from live video. I'm sure that will make for great video games, but think about some other applications. You could tell your TV to always show Nicole Kidman naked or to show some famous person you don't like as the devil. Or maybe, a government or company could.

Anyway, I'm sure it will all be lots of fun, right?

Randomness

Flipping through my wallet this weekend I found a dollar with a url stamped on it: www.wheresgeorge.com The site is allowing people to track bills by serial number, so you can see where your bill has been. Odd, yes, but kind of fun.

A special thanks to The Green Witch for Am I GOTH or NOT. I have also found a Am I PRESIDENT or NOT, which is pretty funny. Looking back to Am I HOT or NOT, we discover that memepool is everyone's very favorite website. I wonder what other hidden agendas are swimming in that frenzy of hotness ... and notness.

Randomness

I had no idea that things had gotten this bad over the elections.

I've got two words for you — MONKEY BRAINS!

Everyone call England and tell them "I Need TitPillows."

Ah yeah, pretty random tonight. As almost always, shout out to memepool and flutterby for the links.

Randomness

If you aren't willing to cheat to get something, you must not have wanted it very badly. Well, that's enough about the elections let's get on with the important issues of the day — hot chicks kicking ass. I've found two good reviews of the Charlie's Angels movie, one by a regular guy and one by a feminist woman. Funny, but they both like the movie.

The guy:

Want to know the secret to making money in Hollywood? Pretty women in sexy outfits kicking ass.

The woman:

There is nothing wrong with being a sex object if your objective is to have sex.

Cable modem notes

Now that the cable modem is all set up — all of the RouseHouse computers have a shared high-speed connection to the Internet — it is time to start the RouseCam. Yep, NuMac is now running webcam software and is sending a new image to the web server every ten minutes. No, I don't have any reason at all to do this but I thought it would be fun, at least for a while.

Search terms

Oh yeah, there is a new Wayward Packet.

All web servers keep several logs based on incoming requests, so the web site owner can know how popular the site is and what parts of the site are read the most. An interesting record is the referrer log. If you type something into a search engine and then go to, say, RouseWorld based on the search engine's results my server gets the search string you used to find RouseWorld. You see where this is going, don't you?

I feel bad for the people who are looking for porn and find me instead. Search for "my secret naked home page" on dogpile and RouseWorld turns up on the second page! Apparently you can also find RouseWorld by searching for "RAVE PARTY PICTURES NAKED" on yahoo. But I didn't have time to look through 700+ search results.

Dogpile thinks you can find "Screen Saver Creator Programs" here — Ha! And I've gotten a few odd hits from people looking for "sonic adventure walk throughs" — that one I don't understand at all.

The strangest searches are those, like this one from google, where people are looking for "sarah michelle gellar fake." What? People are on purpose looking for fake pictures of Sarah Michelle Gellar? I guess they found me when I had a quote from SMG that I had marked "probably fake." Oh yeah, and two people found RouseWorld after looking for "jeep tent." I know why they got me, but I wonder if that was really what they were looking for.

What is the strangest thing you've typed into a search engine?
