Something old made completely new.

Categories: General | 2008 | by mattbob | no comments

Some very creative person who has WAYY too much time on their hands found something completely amazing in old ‘Garfield’ comics. The people at GarfieldMinusGarfield have discovered that if you remove Garfield from the strip, you’re left with a Jon Arbuckle that has some serious psychological issues. The result is a great cartoon..finally.

Garfield Minus Garfield

The real question? How long before the fine folks at or representing Garfield shut this one down?

Let’s all just stop pretending..

Categories: General | 2008 | by mattbob | no comments

Face it.  America is turning into a bunch of touchy, feely retards.  It’s quite– wait.. I don’t want to offend retards now do I, oops, my bad… whimps?  Can I still use whimps?  Christ!….  Seriously…fix this!

I just got done reading an article off the Reuters Wire on Yahoo News and it’s quite possibly some of the saddest reading in awhile.  What happened to our great nation??  Hell, it was DECADES ago that the Honeymooners were on as well as Sanford and Son.  The last episode of that great TV Show ended THIRTY ONE YEARS AGO!!!!!!!!  Why do we pretend to take ourselves so seriously these days, why do we allow a FEW control what the majority wants?  This is ridiculous.  Even worse, what does this really say of the children being raised now?

I remember a few years back when I read a story about how since ONE (1) family complained in a small town that ‘Santa Claus’ was riding their Fire Truck during the local holiday parade and they thought it to be offensive.  So what did the city do?  Canceled the whole sha-bang.  Not only did the towns’ civic leaders let their people down, they empowered these asshats.  Way-to-go.  Nice.

So, beside what Imus had to deal with and the stupidity that ensued by countless hypocrites, there seems to be more!

The words “Ho-ho-ho” were changed to “ha-ha-ha” after a staffing company in Sydney, Australia suggested to prospective Santas they drop their traditional greeting in favor of “Ha-Ha-Ha” so as not to invoke images of the derogatory slang term for women, vis-a-vis, Don Imus.

WHATTT???   DDDooooommmmmmmeeedddd!!!  5 years later, working on another way, hmm-hmm-hmm-mm-mm..

The article continues to state other ‘political correctiveness’ like, “Fire-breathing Dragon.”  Children’s book author Lindsey Gardiner was asked to eliminate a fire-breathing dragon from her new book because publishers feared they could be sued under health and safety regulations.

SUED FOR FICTION!?!??!  WHO ARE  THESE PEOPLE???? YOU SELL BOOKS!!!! FICTION BOOKS!!??!?

my head is going to explode.

if you think there is nothing wrong with any of this article, GET BENT!

Don’t wanna be a ‘hack’

Categories: General | 2008 | by mattbob | no comments

I really don’t want to be one of those blogger ‘hacks’ that just post links and videos up on their blog.  I have a LOT of original content in the draft phase that will be released, eventually.  Having made two (2) sky-diving jumps (both outside of Las Vegas), this one realllly got to me.  Luckily the sky-diver did look down and actually noticed the plane, second had just enough time to execute a release.  Keep in mind, he didn’t have his drag shoot out, so both went out simultaneously.  Wow.

btw, I am starting to love LiveLeak.

Blaine this!

Categories: General | 2008 | by mattbob | no comments

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.

Impressive Video of the Week.

Categories: General | 2008 | by mattbob | no comments

It’s Monday morning.. 12 minutes in and I’ve probably already got the Impressive Video of the Week for you.. enjoy.

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.

2008 Bugatti Veyron stealth car

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
