Light-Sabre Duel Puts Two In Hospital

Posted by LoganAvatar @ 9:10 AM

Total Darwin Award material!

Full text of the article:

TWO Star Wars fans are in a critical condition in hospital after duelling with lightsabres made by filling fluorescent light tubes with petrol.

The pair - a man aged 20 and a girl of 17 - are believed to have been filming a mock fight when one of the devices exploded in woodland on Sunday.

They were rushed to West Herts Hospital before being transferred to the specialist burns unit at Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, in Essex.

Police say a third person present at the incident was questioned.

And if you need Gmail, go here.

Savage Treatment

Posted by LoganAvatar @ 10:10 AM

As many people in the Northwest know, the Andy Savage in the Morning show was taken off 96.5 K-Rock. In fact K-Rock no longer exists.

Back story: Andy Savage used to be on 107.7 The End. Then their contracts expired, during the renewal, management put things in the contracts, not previously mentioned in earlier negotiations. Infinity Broadcasting heard about this and offered to change one of their stations from dumb soft rock to Rock/Alternative. The crew jumped at the shot and K-Rock was born.

Just recently**: Some executive on the East Coast loved his mix on his iPod so much, that he said "hey! I know lets make a radio station with no DJs, and play my music with commercials!" Every one in his office groaned and said "Not around here." So Seattle bore the brunt of a stupid idea AKA JackFM (I'll be nice and leave that one alone)

Now: the Andy Savage in the Morning show, is no longer around. Quite abruptly I might add, no warning, no preparation just a violent switch from DJs to a computerized play list and poor techs running the show.

I spent an an evening with the shows crew at Sportsrock in West Seattle a couple Fridays ago. It was great to see them in person. Andy, Jodi and Steve the Producer where there. It was a little strange to meet on air personalities, you recognize their voices but their not quite how you pictured them.

Even Big Dumb Gay Ron, was there. Who by the way, isn't that big, far from dumb and that's right, you guessed, is not gay (but you gotta admit the name is catchy).

The evening was a blast and I was thrilled to get some of that humor I had been missing. You see, listening to them isn't like most morning shows. They have a quality that's unusual, when I'm listening I forget that its a Radio station. It's more like I'm listening in on a conversation between really good friends.

They are eager to get back on the air and are currently talking with other stations. More on that later.

That's all for now. Go to Andy Savage's Web site and read more!

Big-0

**this statement is only hypothetical and is the bitter imagination of a fan of on air personalities and resents the computerization of radio. The for mentioned fan would also like to say "thanks" to the pre-mentioned Executive that messed up a perfectly good thing.

Slap Your Co-Worker Day is Coming!!

Posted by LoganAvatar @ 9:21 AM


Tomorrow is the official Slap Your Irritating Co-workers Holiday: Do you have a co-worker who talks nonstop about nothing, working your last nerve with tedious and boring details that you don't give a damn about? Do you have a co-worker who ALWAYS screws up stuff creating MORE work for you? Do you have a co-worker who kisses so much booty, you can look in their mouth and see what your boss had for lunch? Do you have a co-worker who is SOOO obnoxious, when he/she enters a room, everyone else clears it?

Well, on behalf of Ike Turner, I am so very very glad to officially announce tomorrow as SLAP YOUR IRRITATING CO-WORKER DAY! There are the rules you must follow:

* You can only slap one person per hour - no more.
* You can slap the same person again if they irritate you again in the same day.
* You are allowed to hold someone down as other co-workers take their turns slapping the irritant.
* No weapons are allowed...other than going upside somebody's head with a stapler or a hole-puncher.
* CURSING IS MANDATORY! After you have slapped the recipient, your "assault" must be followed with something like "cause I'm sick of your stupid-a$$ always messing up stuff!"
* If questioned by a supervisor [or police, if the supervisor is the irritant, you are allowed to LIE, LIE, LIE! Now, study the rules, break out your list of folks that you want to slap the living day lights out of and get to slapping.....and have a great day.

Your daily slice of crazy

Posted by LoganAvatar @ 9:57 AM

So this is the story:

Although there is debate over the exact date it started, on November 02, 2000, a person calling themselves Timetravel_0, and later John Titor, started posting on a public forum that he was a time traveler from the year 2036.

One of the first things he did was post pictures of his time machine and its operations manual. As the weeks went by, more and more people began questioning him about why he was here, the physics of time travel and his thoughts about our time. He also posted on other forums including the now non-existent Art Bell site. In his posts John Titor entertained, angered, frightened and even belittled those who engaged him in conversation.

On March 21, 2001, John Titor told us he would be leaving our and returning to 2036. After that, he was never heard from again. Speculation and investigation about who John Titor was and why he was online continues to this day.

Although it may be easy to dismiss all this as science fiction, most people who read his posts agree that there is something very haunting about John Titor and what he said. In addition, and open to more debate, he also made a series of predictions and comments that eerily seem to be coming true.

Anyways, the John Titor website is one of those odd (but fun to read) gems on the internet that seems to just go on and on…. It is more likely than not that it is a hoax in a similar vein of Bigfoot.

For everyone who thinks they like spicy food: Don't try this!

Posted by LoganAvatar @ 9:21 AM

From the article:

It's called the "16 Million Reserve" and is 8,000 times stronger than Tabasco sauce. In fact, it's not really a sauce, it's a food additive made of pure capsaicin.

At $160 to $200 for a bottle of something that could “kill an asthmatic or hospitalize a user who touched his eyes or other sensitive parts of the anatomy”, I think I will pass.

Google Content Blocker

Posted by LoganAvatar @ 8:56 AM

With all of the google products coming out, someone has parodied them with the “Google Content Blocker” I particularly enjoyed the “What can I do once the content is removed?” section:

Click on the ads:  Just click 'em (you don't even have to read 'em). Every time you click an ad, money changes hands. As an option, you can install the free Google Content Blocker "ka-ching!" audio support file.

Look at the ads: You probably already know that ads are interesting, entertaining, and informative. So look at them. You may not even realize it, but just looking at an ad will help our advertisers because eventually you're going to click on that sucker.

Click on the ads: Use your mouse. Move the mouse pointer over an ad, then click the mouse button.

Tell your friends about the ads:  Tell them how cute and funny the ads are, and tell them how to find them. Also tell them to click on the ads.

Click on the ads: If you see an ad, click it. It's as easy as that.

Oh yeah, don’t forget to click on the ads at the top of my page!! :)

How Lightsabers Work

Posted by LoganAvatar @ 12:47 PM

Here is an article on how lightsabers work.  A hint if you have kids:

"A lightsaber is not a toy! Keep it out of reach of children at all times. Lightsaber locks are required in most states.

And the elmer fudd clause:

"There are two ends to any lightsaber -- one end has the belt ring, while the other end houses the blade arc tip and blade emitter. NEVER point the blade emitter of a lightsaber toward your own body. NEVER look down the 'barrel' of a lightsaber, even if you are 'sure' it is in safe mode. If you accidentally activate the lightsaber, serious injury could result."

Seven years in the making by Nike and Bausch & Lomb, the lenses …

First off, SEVEN YEARS? Why does it take so long? That alone is just crazy!

Secondly, Nike?!? What the heck does Nike have to do with contact lenses? Are they going to put the swoosh on the lenses? Ugh...
