But that's what happened. Apparently if you google/maps BINGO in this state the ACA comes up first. Apparently I set that up once. oh yeah...

___I don't know why, but somewhere along the line i must have clicked the wrong button or pissed off the wrong I.T. guy because the ACA got changed to some fancy "NEW" blogger version and now i don't know how to get it back. A few things that suck about this is that you have to have a gmail account now to be an intern and post. (Don't worry... you can still wax my escalade without the account). The other thing is that there's like a million bugs with this thing, unless i'm just doing it wrong... so there's gonna be some weird looking stuff here and there that will, for once, make the ACA look like a less than professional operation. I'd like to say that's just a temporary thing, but you know better. Also.. it would seem that the old version of comments doesn't really jive with this new stuff they got going on. so i'm forced to default to blogger comments, which... are more or less the same thing... just a little more annoying in no particularly specific way.posted by Adam 1/25/2007 09:43:00 PM
a couple possible good things, though... if i can get them to work. apparently you can categorize posts meaning that if you actually were to post something... it would be something like: "HEY! here's my post, here's the link, and oh.. by the way... this is a [SNAPPY] post". or maybe more like "Hey! Steve Buschemi is watching me poop! stevebuschemiiswatchingmepoop.com - Category: [CELEBRITIES WHO ARE OBSESSED WITH POOP]. i see amazing probability of for all kinds of user abuse with this thing, and... yeah, i'm fine with that.

___So, I was watching the manlaws commercial during the Yankees game and I noticed that there was a dude who was missing part of his arm and I was like, "Is that the dude who cut off his own arm?" so I went to their website and Yup, it IS Arom Ralston, the dude who cut of his own freeking arm.posted by Rishi 5/22/2006 07:35:00 PM
It provides major cred to the commercial, and also makes you wonder what the hell someone like Burt Reynolds is doing there.

___From the makers of Grow comes Chronon. Grow makes a ton of sense by comparison.posted by Adam 5/22/2006 11:17:00 AM
I mean, this is what i learned from their "How to play" section...
"first,[put the pan from the wall onto the desk at 12:25],
then as far back as 6:15[put the pan into the fireplace].
after that, the pan placed in the fireplace, not the wall.
It means that situation changes the fact that pan was on the wall at
12:25,and also it doesn't exist the fact that you did first,[[put the pan
from the wall onto the desk at 12:25]]
What is more, if you do such thing at latter time[put the flour into the pan
on the desk.] Since the place of the pan has already changed above(on the
desk?fireplace), it doesn't exist the fact that you put the flour into the
pan on the desk, then the flour returns again to the original position."
get that?

___Awesomely sweet satire:posted by Rishi 4/26/2006 10:20:00 AM
The Iraq War Was Wrong Blog
Whether or not you agree with the writer, this site has so much FANTASTIC content that I can't even begin to wrap my feeble brain around it. Seriously, you could spend an entire week just going through the last week's posts and you still wouldn't be able to fathom everything that is on this site. I mean, I think Iraq is a mess, and I STILL think the site is awesome to the max. And by awesome I mean sweet.
Wait, wait, let me just give you some blurbs:
- A wrong war like during the Iraq war was cannot just be sitted idly by by.
- Okay, at least take a breather from that stress folk's because Osama's got a new tape out! He talks alot about Africa like how we have no business messing with Mislam's in Africa (which is right). Plus, he's all dissing Bush like "you didn't get me yet, I'm fine, ect). It was kind of cool. Good tape. (Ok, I don't undestand Mislam but you could hear alittle of it in Enlish on the new's). He's like "Hey Bush, got me? Didn't think so." (Like "got milk") lol
- Sometimes you start to doing something and you think its going one way but then it become's something you didn't expect. Something less then expetations. Something desappoint. Like wehn I was in highscool the Juinor prom. I was looking forward forward so much and I had waht to wear(special shopping trip) and I fell like , it's just. Fizzle out(bad mesunderstanding with date- long story. Bottom line wehn you think someone like-likes you but they only like you it's can lead to bad fellings all the around and BIG frustations)
- On the Iran question. The tragic part here is, if the Neocons were'nt so blinded by there Straussian Anti-Arabist Orientialism, they'd see what is obvious, that a nuclear Iran is in our best interests. Just checked out a map and it seems Iran is poise in perfect position (to the southeast flank somewaht after Turkey and a couple others) to be a crucielly improtant bulwark against Serbia in the region.
- We got to keep saying it. The. Most. Cerruped. Ademinstration. Ever.
I can't stop.

That's right, a high school girl scored 113 points in a 137-THIRY-TWO! victory over Brandeis. Seriously, does this even count as a record?! While the current poll on the site finds that people think this more impressive than Kobe's 81 points, the opposing coach disagreed, "She didn't earn this," Springer told the Post, "It was like picking on a handicapped person."
Which makes me think 2 things:
1. The coach considers her team severely disabled, or at least mildly retarded.
2. The coach picks on handicapped people on a regular enough basis to make this analogy.

Anyway... if you're like most of the country, then you probably missed this... but if you live in Chicago, then you know that the 2005 World Series Championship owes everything to Journey.
and yes... this is true.
The Chicago White Sox baseball team adopted "Don't Stop Believin'" as their theme song for their playoff push towards the 2005 World Series [1], after players Joe Crede and A.J. Pierzynski went to a bar and screamed "Play some freakin' Journey!!" to a bad lounge singer. On October 28, 2005, Steve Perry led the team and the crowd in an a capella rendition of the song, on the podium at the World Series Championship celebration in Chicago.
I personally question whether this would be true if not for the Family Guy Karaoke episode. So this obviously begs the question... Who would've won the 2005 World Series if Family Guy never came back on the air???
Now check this out... their ESC4P3 album circa 1981, also appears to be the earliest documented use of 1337 (leet speak). Internet geeks are abuzz with this discovery today... showing, quite dramatically I might add, that Journey has achieved the toughest sociological challenge of the 80's. Uniting Nerds and Jocks.

In the three years he had been Games Master at Greytowers School, Harry Herbert had never felt so confident about the outcome of "The Big Match" ? the annual game with Oldtown College, the one game of the season which really mattered. The School had a good side; they had the advantage of playing at home; the weather was seemingly set fair; and they had a splendid new football pitch, the envy of neighbouring schools, completed in three weeks of unrelenting labour by the junior boys' forced-labour squads at the cost of only seventeen lives. So it was with a spring in his step that Mr. Herbert opened the door of the Football Committee Room and strode in with a hearty "Good morning!"
