What Happens When You Cross Rugby With Guy Fawkes Day?

Scott — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:52:27 +0000

A rugby club is set to celebrate Guy Fawkes night round a large TV after health and safety forced organisers to use footage of a bonfire rather than the real thing.

Organisers at Ilfracombe Rugby Club in Devon say they were put off having a real fire by the ”mountain” of paperwork and regulations set by council chiefs.

With a few exceptions, rugby players aren’t generally known for our ability to deal with mountains of paperwork. Or any other kind of work for that matter.

This is sad, yet ironically fitting.

Twitter Shenanigans in Brevard County – I suspect someone may be overestimating their relevancy. I just haven't been here long enough to determine who that is in this case.

Welcome to Marikafka County, Arizona – Where the only way you can protect your attorney/client privilege is to waive your attorney/client privilege. This video of a court official stealing documents from a defense attorney's desk is unbelievable. Even more insane is what followed.

Amazon Turns On The Twitter Pump To Fuel Referral Fees – This is a good thing! People who are using their Twitter feeds just to sell will be ignored anyway. But if you're using it to genuinely recommend/refer people to cool products, they should recognize that. Nothing wrong with getting a little juice for helping them out.

Gore’s Dual Role in Spotlight – Back in college they called him "Double Down"–he was known for replacing most of the cards in the deck with aces.

Fire Your Clients! – Maybe good advice for people outside of real estate as well.

Dismantling America: Part II – Thomas Sowell's got smarts real good. If you don't subscribe to his RSS feed, well…you don't got them kinda smarts.

iPhone vs. I Phone – Is it a coincidence I went with an Android phone? Probably, but still…

“V” Is For Valuable

Scott — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:34:45 +0000

That’s the valuable time I won’t spend watching this show. I appreciate the fact that they made me not want to watch it in the first episode instead of doing something like Heroes did–making me invest two pretty good seasons of sitting slack jawed in front of television only to become unwatchable.

Yeah, I’m that guy who can stop reading a book 175 pages in.

Not even a glimpse of a lizard tongue! I did enjoy the sly references to the current political climate though. Let’s hope that changes some people’s minds about where we’re headed.

He Hated People Who Didn’t Give Attribution…

And he didn’t give attribution. And he hated irony!

Suggestion for The Tennessean — put as many of your internets as will fit into the trunk of your Prius, drive them over to Al Gore’s house (the lights are on), and leave them on a porch with a note telling him you don’t really know how they work.

BTW–Feel free to copy this post in its entirety and post it on your own blog. Just give me a link and it’s all good.

“Yes I do.”

“Touch your toes.”

Julio Iglesias And The Hotness Factor

This video features The Missus’ hometown, Cartagena Colombia. It’s an extremely accurate depiction of the hotness factor of the city:

The women really are that hot, and the sweat covering everyone in the video is realistic. No spray bottles needed to achieve that effect.
