The smell on the wind, the hint of aroma that just tingles, breath it in, death is on the wind!

I bought my freedom from death, six quarters, and death left me, left me alone, alive, but why? You don’t escape death, no, she chases you, and you can’t run. Your legs go weak from sympathy, your will to flee, replaced with compassion. As she aproches death fills your nostrils, Your time is now, and you forgot to make peace. but she offers you a way out… and you have to take it, mortals fear, FEAR DEATH, she smells.

I was stone cold fearless, I stopped, who wouldn’t, its death, you got to see what the appeal is. You can’t look away. I squared my shoulders, and stood proud, and ready. But given the choice of ferry man vs death, I payed a toll and live.

Have you tried the new diamond shreddies?  They are awesome!  I had my first bowl today, and wow, I am not sure what they changed, but the flavor sensation is just amazing.  I think the new design holds milk and sugar in a precises ratio that maximizes the wheat flavor of the shreddie!

Viva Diamond Shreddie revolution, I just hope it doesn’t die off like new coke.

Seems a lot of people thought this week would be a good week to get on facebook.  Odd, but who am I to judge?  Well I am god…

Anyway having used facebook for all of one week I can say, while it does have its annoyances, but it is superior to myspace.  It doesn’t suffer from the  my first webpage that myspace seems to run into.  Whats that some text behind all those animated gifs?  For shame, everyone knows text is useless when tying to write.

In closing, Weird Al, Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota, Best song?  I think so, what do you think?

Royal Rumble Drinking Game

A fun drinking game based on WWE Royal Rumble. The most interesting part, is not knowing when you might have to chug that last few sips of a drink vs opening a new drink and having to chug it.

Base rules:

Every time a Wrestler enters the Rumble, you drink
Every time a Wrestler is disqualified, leaves the ring, you drink

Now the fun part:

Everyone picks one or two wrestlers, two for hardcore, one if your not. If its an old Royal Rumble, you can draw numbers/names from a hat, to decide on your wrestler.

*Shots can replace a chug.

When your guy enters the ring, you chug.
When your guy is disqualified, you chug.

Hardcore additional rules:

If your puts out a guy, everyone else drinks twice.
If your guy puts out some one else’s guy, they chug twice.
If your guy is put out by some one else’s guy you chug twice

Exceptional Hardcore, Stephen drinks like a little girl rules:

If one of your guys puts out your other guy, you do four shots.
If a wrestler does a finisher, drink.
If an exceptional chop is done, drink.
If Ric flair woos, drink.

The first time this was done, Allan, Andrew and I watched two Rumbles, back to back, and near the end could no longer drink due to the massive amounts of liquids in our tummies.

While I hold no ill will towards the tech that asked this, I still understand why he asked it. I might just be a crazy user after all…

Then this came… Probably from TAC…

So I was sent this:

To which I replied…

It was louder and off pitch, which made it noticeably more noisy than the two switches and four servers that were in the room. It had a subtle whiney grinding noise to it, that at regular intervals raised and decreased in volume, like a car trying to turn over. While the fan is still spinning it sounds like its fighting for every rotation.

I may not know much, but I have learned in my years as a tech, that users hate noisey fans! I also know that if I hear a grinding noise in the server room I investigate :-) Noisey fans and finedining is all I know…

Mac: Hello I’m a Mac,

GMEW: And I’m a giant man eating wombat.

Mac: Um, your supposed to be a PC, we are supposed to highlight the differences between a PC and a Mac, showing off the Mac’s strengths.

GMEW: I eat humans for strength.

Mac: Um no giant wombat thing, we are here too show off the features that make the Mac user experience so unique and full filling.

GMEW: I experience a feeling of being full when I eat humans.

Mac: This, um, this is a commercial, we are advertising the Macintosh computer.

GMEW: Oh, uh, well, I like to eat people, even as they are working on their computer…

Mac: OK, well, uh, the Macintosh Computer… it won’t eat you…

GMEW: But I will!

To be a god, or not to be a god, that is but the moment when all man settles down and cries like the little girls that they are.  but what a mome3nt of time of doom, to the soothing sounds of the beat and love thy death cows, to the deep of the morticians hand as they rip the eyes form my dead body, perchance to dream, perchance to see, see me now, tears tears that flow from the emtpy sockets of my soul.

This is an extension of the WoW commercial
