MattBob’s Killer Webspace… | UNknown. UNderinformed. UNderthere.

So, I spent the wee hours this morning playing the hottest game in America. Waste time IMing friends funny/stoopid/cool videos from all across the internet.. well in this round has lasted 3 hours (Gtalking a movie) covering a myriad of sites and finally is going to end with a couple people poking fun at David Blaine. If you don’t know who he is, Wiki him, I’m too lazy to do it for you. So, here’s these guys imitating Blaine.

Since I don’t have any Sultan, Sheikh or any of those hedge fund big wig friends… I thought I’d invite you all to buy the car that I cannot. I’m just a few bucks shy and with all the driving infractions of late, I’m not in the mood to give more money to insurance companies and their overpaid executives.

Therefore, I give thee, the 2008 Bugatti Veyron.

This bad boy has 1,001 horsepower.. which when you really break it down is VALUE! Take into the consideration of one owning 1,001 horses, where would you put them? How long would it take you to gather all those animals to take you somewhere quickly. If you think I am going to walk anywhere, even to the Quik-E-Mart, you’re wrong. So, here’s the value. Average room and board for a single horse is in the neighborhood of $3,815.00 USD. In order to compete with this Bugatti, you’d need a 1,001 horses.. that’s $3,818,815.00 a year! WHAT A BARGAIN! Hell, what would you do with all that horseshit anyways? Nevermind. If you have that many animals, you’d have to have a large estate.. which isn’t a problem, because you screwed over troops fighting over in the middle east. Cash flow on tilt! Then you’d have, and I don’t mean to be ‘gruesome’ but statistically, horses dying left and right because there are so many. Tramplings, sex accidents, old age, predators, unhappy PETA freaks (i’d hire a couple illegals to take them out and feed to horses, ipso-facto, that problem basically solves itself andd.. I’m recycling) trying to ‘free’ them (how do you free property?).

Well, as you can see, it’s just a mess. So, all you have to do now, is buy my car. I hate to see it go, but if it’s going to go to someone, better you than Harold LeMay. While Bill has passed and is no longer a threat, Jay Leno is always a threat, even though this is not a classic now.. it will be.

haha, just kidding, why read when you can watch a video.

favorite line? A futball pitch a second. wow.

While in Los Angeles a couple weeks ago, I incidently parked on a side of a street that was going to be cleaned that day.  Lucky me, I was issued a ticket, in the rain.  Lovely.  Good news, it’s only $50.00 California Dollars, whereas if you are issued a ticket in DC, you’re looking at about $120-150.00 US Dollars per incident.  Also, hope you have all your taxes and registrations up-to-date otherwise you’ll be charged for that too.  Ask Doug.  As it turned out, there was a sign stating that I wasn’t supposed to park there, unfortunately, it was facing the houses.  How in the world can I know where to park when the signs are facing a different direction?  I rang up the LA parking people and they (in a very robotic-like way, told me ‘if there is a sign, you’re going to have to pay.’

Yay.

So I wanted to know the legal parameters regarding sign usage in Los Angeles.  Seems like this is harder than is should be (someone doesn’t want section codes googled).  Unfortunately/Fortunately, I ran across an interesting site that distracted me for a little while.  Maybe you’ll find it a helpful outlet for yourself too.

 Enjoy!

A new prodigy music conductor has hit the ’scene’ in LA. Gustavo Dudamel from Venezuela has brought a new energy to classical music performances, as well as ticket sales.  His complete immersion into the music he conducts brings something entirely new and invigorating to this centuries old genre.  Another wonderful piece from ‘60 Minutes‘

It seems like Law Enforcement week here on my lil’ blog.  I’m pro-police and all it’s just been facinating reading all these different stories as of late.  I’ll let you drill down into the story of a lady who calls the Stark County Police Dept only to get arrested and strip searched.. illegally.  That is, against the police department’s own policy.

So, trolling online I came across a story about someone not wanting to present their receipt to the Loss Prevention (LP) folks that now man stations right inside the doors of most box retailers. It’s always been annoying but I’ve usually complied, just for simplicity sake.

One guy decided that he wasn’t about to be harassed at a retailer that he just made a purchase from. I’ve said it before, people (employees) need to know and understand rules and laws that govern them, beyond ’store policies.’ The TSA is the worst offender of them all. As a photographer I cannot explain to you how many times I’ve had to deal with people who think they have some sort of real authority. They don’t.

Read on, it’s a fascinating story.

This is the main reason why I almost NEVER get the additional anything (warranty, etc) at these box stores.. it’s a waste.

Normally I think that people are trying to sham companies when filing ‘frivolous’ lawsuits but with this amazing story, we all can relate/understand this Best Buy consumer’s story.   I wish her all the best (har-har). Mostly, I enjoy the part where she’s going to keep the public in the loop.
