I hope you all party like it's 1999 and be safe!
And I'll see YOU on the flip side...
Not that I can afford my own personal in-dash navigation system anytime soon, but when that day comes, I will be certain to let Mr. T guide the way...
California company NavTones has contracted with Mr. T and the actors Burt Reynolds and Dennis Hopper to record voices that can be loaded into navigation systems, giving your driving directions a little extra personality. [...]
Where the typical navigation system says "You have reached your
destination," Mr.T's voice follows that with: "What is that? That's where you were going? Oh, man. You wasted my time!"
So here's the question. If you could have any voice instruct you as your dumbass drives around in circles, who would it bee? Mr. T? Chuck Norris? StrongBad? Ashlee Simpson (only if she sang)?

The issue percolated again this week, when officials representing a new downtown arena in Kansas City, a group that includes Los Angeles Kings president Tim Leiweke, reiterated their desire to have an NHL team as their anchor tenant.
Specifically, Anschutz Entertainment Group would like to have Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins come to Kansas City when their new building opens in fall 2007. The Penguins play in the NHL's oldest building, the Mellon Arena, and the team has been embroiled in a lengthy battle with city and state officials over funding for a new arena that will be crucial to the team's future in Pittsburgh.
AUBERVILLIERS, France - Marauding youths set fire to cars, warehouses and a
nursery school and pelted rescuers with rocks early Saturday, as the worst
rioting in a decade spread from Paris to other French cities. The U.S.
warned Americans against taking trains to the airport via strife-torn
areas.
A savage assault on a bus passenger highlighted the dangers of
travel in Paris' impoverished outlying neighborhoods, where the violence
has entered its second week.
Attackers doused the woman, in her 50s and on crutches,
with an nonflammable liquid and set her afire as she tried
to get off a bus in the suburb of Sevran Wednesday, judicial officials
said. The bus had been forced to stop because of burning objects in its
path. She was rescued by the driver and hospitalized with severe burns.
Someone tell me why we haven't invaded France yet? I think they would be a good pre war warm-up for the next oil rich country we invade. I guess these kids never attended the Flipmode School of "Setting Shit on Fire"
Following the pattern of most "democratic" elections in this country, the people have been given a severely limited number of options and forced to vote for the one they dislike the least. In other words, the panda name choices suck. I thought Ike Turner would be an appropriate name, but no one listens to me.
Rejoice fellow citizens, because in the 21st century, elections are no longer rigged by the power-hungry party elite. They are rigged by people on the internet. Currently there is a grassroots movement afoot in cyberspace to reclaim the people's naming rights to the offspring of bears from other countries. And they shall call him...
Butterstick!
Yes, there are some people who have allegedly hacked into the National Zoo's Panda-Naming Matrix (NZPNM) and claim to be able to submit legitimate votes for the name Butterstick. I am unsure of their actual abilities, but that's too fucking funny not to try. So go my countryman and
The laughter in the comedy world will fall silent for a moment, while the death of great comedian Mitch Hedberg is mourned. He died early last night in his hotel room of an undisclosed cause. He will be missed "all encompassingly".
