State by State With the State: An Uninformed, Poorly Researched Guide to the United States

This book makes Jon Stewart’s America look like Martha Stewart’s Keepsake Wedding Planner

I get so excited about Rob Schneider’s “The Hot Chick” that sometimes I can’t even talk about it.

It even has the 1st-string quarterback guy from Not Another Teen Movie, all but reprising his role.

Is anyone watching this show Starved on FX about the random group of friends with eating disorders?

I watched an episode at random and it was pretty awesome

Guy1 is defending having a (number of) finger(s) in his ass.

Guy1: What’s the best feeling a man can ever have?
Guy2: Orgasm.
Guy1: What’s the 2nd best?
Guy2: Taking a shit?
Guy1: Put em together, and what do you get?
Guy2: Really gay

Of course that bit wasn’t strictly related to the eating disorder angle… for that they had the same guy get addicted to colonics.

Loverboy

Randy Bodek works as a pizza delivery boy at Senor Pizza to make a few extra bucks. Some customers are special, though: When the order is for a pizza with extra anchovies, it means the female customers are looking for some loving. “Loverboy’s” reputation soon makes him very popular, but when Mom Bodek suddenly feels like some extra anchovies, things are looking grim for young Randy.

Good thing they snuck this into theaters before the 80’s ended!

Pretty often I’d find that my FireFox would hang while trying to resolve hostnames. With a big portable project like that you never know how many layers of abstraction may be getting in the way and screwing things up — I could many times lookup a hostname on the command line while FireFox was still spinning trying to resolve it.

I had tried disabling ipv6 DNS via the about:config interface, with no success.

It turns out disableing ipv6 at the operating system level is the answer! Now I never get the multiple second hangs anymore…

As you stroll down the hallway, point your palms backward instead of inward.

This looks far more awkward than just not swinging your arms, the old standby of freakish walking.
