The Happening On BluRay
With the DVD and Blu-Ray releases of M. Night Shyamalan's "The Happening," I feel it my duty to once again implore you to avoid this film in any and all of its nefarious forms.
Even if you are given a free copy of this film by a beloved friend or relative, I beg of you, do not watch it. If you are captured by a band of marauding pirates and given the choice between walking the plank and watching the DVD with director's commentary, I urge you to seriously contemplate your decision.
I wish you all a wonderful day.

Doing manly things.
So, I brought my shotgun back to Ohio with me and I decided it was time to give her a thorough cleaning. Since I had never done such a thing I went out to a Gander Mountain and bought the necessary supplies. Next was finding the owners manual for my Mossberg 500-A online and reading how to dis- and then reassemble my firearm.

Oh shit, I didn't mean to disassemble the safety:
after about 3 hours and a dozen websites detailing the assembly of the safety mechanism:
Complete! Now who's ready for the Zombie Apocalypse?

...and the world spins madly on.
I believe in imagination, the hopeless romantic, the quixotic hero, the villain with the handlebar mustache, and honeycrisp apples. I believe King Arthur was real, I believe there is life on other planets, I believe there is life on this planet. I believe in the
smooth, straight flight of a monster backhand huck into the endzone. I believe that America should adopt the metric system, cover the roadways with solar panels and send a human to mars. I believe in the perseverance of the human spirit, the undeniable power of a brilliant idea, and that everyone looks beautiful by candlelight. I believe in fantasies, heartache, and that moment before climax when the world stands absolutely still.
Your turn.

Statistical Scavenger Hunt
In order for my students to collect their final project, they had to go on a quasi-scavenger hunt. This was the video that launched the hunt.
background: we did a lot of examples involving Hannah Montana during the term.

So far so good
The joke I invented today:
Q: How can you make stir-fry in space?
A: With a moon wok!
So funny. Not 15 minutes later, Mr. and Mrs. Gubbins and I were eating our chinese food and we started talking about porpoises. I told him they're difficult to own, because you have to milk them three times a day.
Mr. Gubbins: I wonder what you can make with porpoise milk.
Sprocketplug: Seabiscuits?
I'm on a freaking roll.
Bouncy castle party tomorrow. Be there or be square. fotos and video to follow.

Oh, Second, loveliest of all the amendments, you alone protect this country from another invasion of the Red Coats

Wow. Just wow.
I don't know if y'all follow 30 Rock, but it's gotta be one of my all time favorite television programs. I don't actually get television reception, but I watch them on www.hulu.com. Last week's episode is utter brilliance. It's especially delightful if you've seen the movie Amadeus.
Check it out if you have a little time:
Hulu.com
I'm gonna watch it again. hmmm hmmm funny.

More from Slashdot
Slashdot
Josh Fink brings us a CNN story discussing evidence found by researchers which indicates that humans came close to extinction roughly 70,000 years ago. A similar study by Stanford scientists suggests that droughts reduced the population to as few as 2,000 humans, who were scattered in small, isolated groups.
...
And then they all came together for the largest Orgy this planet has ever seen. They saved the species from extinction and had a super fun time doing it.

this is FUN!
More random quotes from sent emails spanning from april 2006 to 2007
This sucks.
I hate SAS.
If ever I encounter one of the original writers of this god forsaken program, I shall strike him/her in the genitals with a car antenna. after said strike, I shall hurl invective upon his/her writhing personage until such a time as my ire is sated.
It's not possible to completely randomize 5 mops with four people. It's good that you're accounting for order, though. There's some psychological effect: primacy and...something else... where people remember best and prefer most the thing that they saw first or last. It would be fun to give them the same mop twice and see if they give it different scores.
I'm Peter Sprangers and I endorse this message
Dude. That is totally whack. And by "whack" i mean stupid.
I have been soooo sick the past couple of days. I thought I was on my death bed. I saw Jesus. he told me that abstinence only programs are the work of the devil. then he told me to smoke pot. I love Jesus. Don't judge me!
Lauren, were you a single woman I would take you in a manly fashion.
I'm a heretic!!!!
sweet quiz.
i'm also lustful. could have fooled me.
...i'm fine, but for some burns on my leg making it hard for me to walk around...
Sure thing. Welcome to the P-Hat Allstars.
You'll not take my power without a coup de etat!
I need you to love me unconditionally for the rest of my life.
I love this bike more than my own penis.
Sonnet
This is for the afternoon we lay in the leaves
After it had been winter for half a year,
And I kissed you and unbuttoned your jeans
And touched you and made you smile, my dear.
And of all the good things that love means,
One of them is to touch you there
And make you smile, among the leaves,
And feel your wetness and your sweet short hair,
And kiss your breasts and put my tongue
Into the delirium between your soft pale thighs,
Because the winter has been much too long
And soon will come again, when this love dies.
I will hear sermons preached, and some of them be true,
But I will not regret that afternoon with you.
