Funny Application

I play a little game called Hobowars. Well there are gangs and in order to join a gang you have to submit an application to be considered unless you know someone in the gang. Well here is an application that was sent to our gang recently.

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.
I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.
Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous document .ries. When I\\\'m bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.
I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don\\\'t perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat .400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.
I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair.

Sexy Concept Vette

Might it be possible that the General would consider going retro for its next Corvette? It's worked wonders for the current crop of remade pony cars, with Chevy's own Camaro being a prime example. Some might argue, though, that the modern 'Vette has never really strayed from its core ethos of offering big performance for a relatively low price, so perhaps it's not in dire need of visiting the past for inspiration.....

You've got to be fucking kidding me

I couldn't even fit in between the cars sideways. I had to climb in from the passenger's side and my door didn't open more than 3 inches.

Fun times at work

Some professors are just big asses. They think just because they got
their Masters or pHD they know how everything operates, what is wrong,
what needs to be done to fix it and everything they say that's
supposed to be a joke is funny. A co-worker and I tried to get a DVD
play working for a professor during a class. It turns out the drive is
bad and there wasn't enough time for us to relace it. Not a big deal
but every minute he would stop lecturing to ask me if it's going to
work. After the first three times of telling him I'm running through
my troubleshooting procedure it started to get annoying. He kept
reminding me that he had his boots on and he can try to fix it
followed by a chuckle. When we determined it was a bad drive and told
him we would have to check if we had any spares on hand he informed us he
would be calling our higher ups to make sure we had one installed by his
next class but this was not any reflection on us. Why doesn't a
college professor have a backup plan for when, not if, the technology
he was going to use doesn't work? Computers break, DVDs get scratched
and won't play, sometimes replacements cannot be made quickly.

It turns out we have a replacement drive and ail be able to fix it
befre his next class if the drive is the only thing not working.

Now that looks like fun

Seems like a good place to try it out. I think I would have to get over my fear and do it.

Poor Circuit City

Maybe people would actually go there if their employees actually helped customers.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Circuit City Stores Inc., the No. 2 electronics seller after Best Buy, filed for bankruptcy protection Monday, hoping the move will allow it to stock its shelves in time for the crucial holiday shopping season.

No water park down the street from me

Splash Valley not coming to East Ridge afterall
By Brian Stewart
Friday, November 7, 2008
Yesterday morning we first told you that Splash Valley Water Park in East Ridge had been officially sunk. According to court records the property owners defaulted on their payments which was a surprise to East Ridge Mayor Mike Steele. The attraction was slated to open last Memorial Day but obviously that never happened and the news is very disappointing to citizens of East Ridge and the Chattanooga area.

This doesn't make me too sad. It would just create more traffic on a road that is already too busy.
