Oh look..


another post FMBM… 🙂 … who said they don’t like Walmart? Well shame on you! Walmart is the first big box to employ hybrid technology to save the world… and lots of money. Peterbilt is making four trucks that are diesel/electric hybrids. Hopefully more and more truckers will switch to hybrids, causing more and more mechanics to learn how to service hybrids, increasing the demand for hybrids, increasing the production of hybrids, lowering the prices of hybrids.

Now when is my hybrid motorcycle coming!?

Lay off the cold medicine

Thanks to Steph Z for this one…
“Ok, I thought this was pretty funny. It’s a traffic report from 100.3 here in Utah (some of you might recognize the person if you listen to that station). The traffic reporter apparently was sick and taking some cold medicine and so was a little loopy. You have to listen to the whole thing which is about 15 seconds long. Apparently it went out live.”

Are you lost?


Well an ok episode of LOST last night. Nothing really exciting, except that really dead blown up tree… oh and some amazon women in the underwater Oasis… did Ben get in a fight with them… is that why they haven’t been back? And who built that thing… oh yeah Dharma. Anyway to the point of this post… for all those who ever thought about getting into/ catching up/ understanding LOST, there’s another chance tonight @ 9pm. ABC is playing a special review episode to help everyone figure stuff out before next weeks TWO hour season finale. Enjoy!

Please, please, please…


Time to be nerdy! Also, if you like investing in sure things… dump as much as you can into Blizzard. They have changed their website into some kind of countdown image. First was a big picture of Warcraft, then Warcraft II and now Diablo. All leading to a ? game… is anyone else wetting their pants hoping it’s Starcraft 2? Hopefully the greatest real time strategy game maker of all time isn’t yanking our chain.
Thoughts?

General Update and more


Yesterday was a nice day, we finished off some steak that needed to be eaten before it went bad. Survivor was excellent, the Office wasn’t. And Joy scheduled a 30 min massage for me after work. SO I showed up to The Xango Spa where I waited for my masseuse to get me and instruct me. Well this guy from somewhere else in the world comes out and doesn’t really speak english, says his name and I don’t catch it. Anyway goes on to give me a massage that was nice. He didn’t really massage me as much as just rub my back, I think I’ve had more engaging massages from strangers on a crowded bus. Lets say I would rather get a massage from Joy herself. I think the important thing was interaction, the person has to make you feel comfortable and confident that they know what they are doing…
When I woke up this morning and I couldn’t turn my head to the left! Arg, so much pain… why why free massage must you have to have been so bad…

Other places of interest to mention: The Price is Right’s last live show will be May 16th, it’s was always my favorite to stay home sick and watch The Price is Right.
Also, Darin and Nada were in a car wreck, even though they haven’t mentioned it on their blog yet… a student from a nearby university wasn’t paying attention and plowed into the side of them scrapping the entire side of Nada’s car. Stay tuned to their blog for more info and any questions.

LOST


OK this has to have it’s own post after last night! WOW, so if you DVRed it, here’s what you’ll learn. –The Others are not Dharma Initiative, they killed off all DHARMA except Ben… (sidenote)what about the guy that was in the Pearl, before Desmond? was he dharma but ok b/c he was underground? or is he an other that manned the station after the take over?(end sidenote). You’ll also learn that Ben was not born on the island, but in Portland, he’s seen his dead mom on the island, (Smokey?) has a crush named Annie (did he let her die?), he killed his own dad (that why he made Locke prove himself?), and he sees invisible people. Speaking of invisible people, why didn’t Locke go back in during the DAY!? And what’s with the grey powder/sand that looked like it circles around Jacob’s yard? Is it keeping him in? Yes this image is the one frame when they showed a man sitting in the chair.
We also learn that Jack and Kate are the most annoying characters on the show, and Juliet is close to being third. Why did she tell Sawyer to flip the tape over!? That made her look even worse, why was no one mad!? I predict some major players are going to die soon, and that Locke will NOT die, but be saved by something islandy, then come back and dethrone Ben.

What did ya’ll think?

OK I’m tired of hearing this in email after email… everyone who reads this try it and post your experience.

SECOND Have you locked your keys in the car? Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone.
If you lock your k eys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call
someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell
phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home
press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end.
Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no
object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who
has the other “remote” for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the
trunk). Editor’s Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car
over a cell phone!”

Apparently this one is BUSTED!
