Almost there…

That crazy dancing guy (you know, the one who slows down the load time on this page) has almost disappeared to the archives.

Oh yeah…and there’s a Wal-Mart going in across the street from our house. I would be scared of people tracking me down, but then I realize that there are Wal-Marts going in everywhere.

I will be tracking the Wal-Mart.

Pigs and Monkeys

Arwen was asking enthusiastically to watch Star Wars. We watched Return of the Jedi. When Darth Vader checks up on the progress of the second Death Star, Arwen shouts, “Darth Vader! Woohoo! [kooo kissshhh]”
“C-3PO! Ha ha!”
Jabba’s guards confronting Luke? “Pig! [snort snort]”
Jabba’s rock band? An impromptu dance number. (She sings to the Imperial March, as well.)
Nien Nunb co-piloting the Let’s-take-a-few-of-’em-with-us Plan? “Monkey! [eek eek! eek eek!]”

This is the first time that she watched it.
Woo hoo!
“Woo hoo!”

And here’s a comic that I find funny:

Khan!!!!

So…Net Neutrality might be threatened by internet providers not letting you access certain sites if they don’t want to. Here’s what one vision of the future looks like…

On the topic of bad form, the BBC brought in the wrong person for an interview and some poor cabbie was worried about why they kept asking him copyright questions.

Update: Goma is an IT guy, not a cabbie. He was applying for a job and thought it was a strange initiation.

Vista (it drinks)

Here is an e-mail exchange that we sent to our friends in ingleterra. My Bible study’s a funny group:

Hola! Como esta ? Que tal? Hace mucho calor. Hoy trababajo, que el
farmacia es bueno. Cuando es su vuelo aqui? Los hombres en el
groupo
vamos a la casa de Peter manana noches a ver jugar al Phoenix Suns.
Has la vista (bebe)
Dan

And here is the response, from a friend in the U.S.:

So, I don’t know if it is a group joke or what, but I wanted to know what Dan said. (I don’t know any Spanish) so, I used babelfish.com and I think the translation is funny!
“Hello! Like this? That so? Long ago heat. Today trababajo, that the pharmacy is good. When aqui is its flight? The men in groupo we are going to the manana house of Peter nights to see play the Phoenix Suns. There are the Vista (it drinks)”
Little more laughter on a Monday for you.

Merri

Yep. Good ole babelfish. “With a mighty warcry of ‘Я не думаю любой из вас говорит русского,’ the shadowy patron hurls the previously concealed knife at the third thug. ”

And here’s the obligatory geek reference.

My Life as a Clown

I spent Friday night dressed as a clown, blowing up balloon animals and telling jokes.

Here’s a joke for you:

Q: Who was the worst lawbreaker in the Bible?
A: Moses. He broke all 10 at one time.
Buh-dum-bum.

So, while you wait for pictures, read about “thought experiments“.

Almost forgot! My wife watches TV online now. Much better than regular airing.
