Thoughts for 2009-07-08

Things on my mind recently...

• They could still do the Michael Jackson tour. Leave him in that gold casket, add Bubbles and the Elephant Man, and tour like King Tut. #


• Wallet Stolen in 1982 Found in Central Park Tree http://tinyurl.com/mc6tl7 How could the victim not notice a tree stealing his wallet? #


• Secret Service Website taken out by Cyber attack http://tr.im/rl3z Thank goodness it didn't interfere with Jacko's funeral #tcot #


• Did SciFi change its name to SyFy because so many of their viewers couldn't spell "SciFi"? Or did they lose a bet with Spike? #


• Okay, first SciFi is now SyFy. Now, TiVo's CN/Adult Swim schedule is all buggered up. I blame the Jacko funeral coverage. #


• Google announces a new operating system, available in 2010, and runs on top of Linux http://tr.im/rlb6 Or you could just get Linux now #


• Need Some Weed? Just Check Twitter http://tr.im/rliR Does this mean that Twitter is a gateway app that could lead to (gasp) blogging? #


• Microsoft Warns of Serious Browser Security Problem http://tr.im/rlmq In other words, it's Tuesday #


• Daily Dose of Caffeine May Cure Alzheimer's, Scientists Find http://tr.im/rloB If true, I'm good until 2058 #


• Jesus is open for business http://sml.vg/5tozYG #


• Two Columbus escapees captured in Las Vegas http://tr.im/rnLQ Seems what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas #


• Even T. Boone Pickens says wind power blows http://tinyurl.com/labmdk #


• Maybe they're sending Biden to Ohio to improve Obama's numbers, thinking Obama will look smart in comparison http://tr.im/rnSi #tcot #


• Just drove past a guy riding a bicycle, carrying a vacuum cleaner. Miss Gulch's brother has dumped the broom and gone high-tech. #


• I wonder how many people who say they wouldn't vote for Palin now, would actually have before last Friday anyway. #tcot #


• This must be the lines that carry the wood for Red Lobster's wood-fired grill. http://sml.vg/DIu6yd #


• Lunch at the Red Lobster. And they got Michael Frikkin' Jackson on the "news" channel on the TV. Life sucks. #


• Good news for Obama: His approval rating is still better than Hitler's. In most polls, at least. #tcot #


• Hey! If I drive across the river to Central Time, I'll be able to do 12:34:56 7/8/09 again! #


• "An exciting new Chevron is coming soon." And nothing says excitement like a Chevron station! http://sml.vg/4KzvUm #


• White House spells POTUS' name wrong http://tr.im/rsnZ They keep putting a "B" in place of the "S" #


• Dallas PD cuts security for home of former president Bush http://tr.im/rtDz But bankrupt LA can provide security for Jackson funeral #tcot #


• Naked man shows up for dental appointment http://tr.im/rtPH Dentist refuses to fill his cavity #


• Oscar Mayer dies http://tr.im/rtWF Will his body be carried to the cemetery in the Weinermobile? #
