T.O. on O&A

(in Uncategorized on 2008/05/30)

Jimmy asked Terrell how he got involved with the Alzheimers Association:

My Grandmother… Once she got diagnosed with the disease, it was pretty much a no-brainer for me to get involved with the Alzheimer’s association.

None of the radio weenies in the room called him out on the comment. Maybe Jimmy learned his lesson after Chris Jericho:

‘Ol Nick is serving jail time for his DUI, while his buddy is brain-damaged and blinking-to-the-oldies. Hear him whine about his situation and throw his buddy under the bus (again?) http://www.aolcdn.com/tmz_audio/bolleajailcallpart2_1-2.mp3

Some unnecessary churn

(in meta on 2008/05/25)

I had intermittent problems with the ‘ol wordpress and decided to abandon my hacked up theme. Older themes took way too many liberties with the actual engine itself, and I had forked this from a real theme a few years ago.

I finally found a decent variable width theme that doesn’t have a bunch of silly elements all over the place.

Ultimately, I think the main problem i was trying to fix is a result of a flaky httpd on my webhost, but there were some older issues this change probably addresses.

Police charge pair with ‘crime against nature’

Raleigh police are charging two adults for sodomy in private, although the U.S. Supreme Court appears to have outlawed such charges five years ago.

Police on Saturday charged two West Raleigh men with a “crime against nature” for having sex early that morning. Each faces up to two years in prison if convicted of the Class I felony.

You fellas have a lot of growing up to do, I’ll tell you that. Ridiculous. Completely ridiculous. Can you believe these characters? Way out of line. Way out of line. Have a good mind to go to the warden about this. You know what hurts the most is the… the lack of respect. You know? That’s what hurts the most. Except for the… Except for the other thing. That hurts the most. But the lack of respect hurts the second most.

“We had two bags of 1-up mushrooms, seventy-five pellets of fire flower, five sheets of high-powered stars, a saltshaker half-full of raccoon tail, a whole galaxy of multi-colored turtle shells, hammers, POW blocks, laughers… Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious power-up collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.

“The only thing that really worried me was the Lakitu cloud. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an misting binge…

Todd Davis, CEO of Lifelock, uses his real Social Security number in his company’s advertisements.

Now, LifeLock customers in Maryland, New Jersey and West Virginia are suing Davis, claiming his service didn’t work as promised and he knew it wouldn’t, because the service had failed even him.
