Ahhh, Friday at last! Well it's going to be a busy weekend.. and that's a good thing! Tonight, Dinner with friends, then Ragtime the musical. Tomorrow, a big wine-tasting, then UCONN Men's first basketball game on TV (Bruce, come on over to watch the game man!) Sunday, a local computer show I've been waiting for. Next week, again a 3 day work week for me.. that'll be nice again. File this under "Don't ask me, I just work for the State", I got a call that I have to set up and deliver 2 new notebook PC's for 2 doctors at the Connecticut Childrens Medical Center (CCMC). So, I go pick up these notebooks... and they're FREAKING HUGE! They must weigh 15 pounds, have a wide screen for watching porn dvd's, and enough heft to hold down a light table in a hurricane. Oh, did I mention the funny parts? 1. One of the doctors doesn't even WANT one! He was forced to get it and swears he won't even use it. 2. They didn't order a carrying case for it (though, at the size of this, I can almost understand why) These things are so big, they have a FULL size keyboard, including number pad. Look at your keyboard. They're just as wide. Moving right along.... What's your plans for the weekend? And now, the news not fit to print: Bill Gates receives four million emails daily, most of them spam; still has tiny penis This just in from Moscow: Pickle juice, beef tripe and the "sick head cocktail" among the favorite cures for a Russian hangover (and Aaron says he'd eat anything..(but beets) hmmm!) Butterball hotline claims 50-year-old frozen turkeys are safe to eat! Evidence of 50,000 year old human settlement found in South Carolina includes Stone Age dwellings jacked up on blocks, ancient dog skeletons under the porches 2004 "10 Worst Toys" list. Bag 'o Glass not included OR It's All Fun and Games Until Someone Loses an Eye! Hidden compound of al-Zarqawi found. Location given away by sign reading "al-Qaida Organization" in Arabic. No really, it did! Ok Bubba... what the hell's THIS all about? Big Bone Lick opens visitor center. "It's been a long time in coming" Researcher call on Congress for funds to study "porn addiction". Baby oil initiative to follow (how do you get on the study team?) Tree in Indonesia secretes magical honey. Winnie the Pooh has the munchies And of course... My BOTD! Have a great weekend all! |
