Porn, Pastries and Prius
- Posted by Ryan Finnie on November 28, 2002, 12:11 pm
Last night I drove around for awhile for no particular reason, as I commonly do. I happened to drive past a porno store and thought "what the hell, haven't been in a porno store in a long time". Inside it was your typical adult entertainment store: woman at the counter (come to think about it, I've never seen a male clerk at a porn store), a couple looking at dildos and about 4 men in the video section. My thought process was something like: "Freaks. Oh wait, I'm in here too, what does that say? Well... freaks."
One video caught my eye: Where The Boys Aren't #11. Besides the naked girls (duh), it was a DVD with multiple angles. I knew you could do multiple angles with DVD (they're just multiple video streams set to one audio stream with small video cells), but I've never actually seen a DVD that used this technology. Somehow that was enough to make me spend 2x retail for something I could have found much cheaper (read: free) on the internet. So I bought it and found out that yes, indeed, there are multiple angles on this DVD. Umm, yeah. Woohoo. I'm so excited I paid an arm and a leg for this DVD. Woo.
On my way home I stopped by Krispy Kreme for a donut and a soda (really need to get back on a diet). The guy in the drive-thru window gave me my stuff, glanced inside the car, saw the HUD and went "hey, cool!" So I went through the demo with him. That made my day. Lately I've been bummed that my car is no longer new and cool. It seems everybody has a Prius these days. Hell, I pass 2 every day on my way home from work. But when I first got my car, nearly nobody had heard of a Prius. It's amazing what can change in 8 months.

Whenever I'm feeling down, I look at this picture, and it brightens my day.
Yes, this is one of my bad parodies. More here.

If you don't give fo0bar his dead presidents, fo0bar posts naked pictures of you on the internet.
Also, I think I'm in love with the FBI agent who is spying on me.

I was outside today and saw a Nevada Bell truck pull into the parking lot. The guy got out, took two cones out of the back of the truck and placed one by each end of the truck. Mind you, this is just a normal sized truck, 20 feet from any other cars. I never understood why utility vehicles do that. "Look at me, I'm a normal pickup truck! Don't get near me!"
Mike commented that it would be fun to steal one of the cones and use it whenever I parked my prius anywhere.
Anyways, the next time I went outside, fate shined down upon me. The Nevada Bell guy had left, but only took one cone with him. The other one was just lying in the middle of the parking lot.
Now I have an orange cone in the trunk of my car, with "NEVADA BELL" spraypainted on the side of it and everything.

I still have a fever, and am drunk with nyquil. Blah.
On top of that, I've had a verse from a musical number from a Futurama episode in my head today: "They said I probably shouldn't be a surgeon." "They poopooed my electric frankfurter." "They said I probably shouldn't fly with just one eye." "I am Bender, please insert girder."
It's funny in context. Trust me.
Lately I've been trying to get myself a cisco 806 router to use as my border gateway at home and play with IOS (for some odd reason, the NOC guys get upset when I play around with THEIR border routers... go figure). So far I've had 3 people say they can get me one for $250 through some cisco educational program, but it's always been a "friend of a friend of a friend" type thing, and nothing has materialized yet. If you can definitively get me one for under $300, I'll give you a big wet kiss and be your best friend forever and ever and ever.
I'm rambling. I'm going to bed now.

On monday I sent out an email to staff basically saying "your passwords suck, change your password within 7 days, or else". As of today, 2 people changed their passwords. Two. Today's wednesday. So I went in and adjusted everybody's shadow entry to expire at 4PM Sunday (00:00 UTC Monday, all of the servers run off UTC). Pure evil...
Will I send out a courtesy email today, tomorrow, or friday? Maybe.
Dave: Muahahahahaha
Catherine: Are you OK?
Dave: Haven't been sleeping well lately.
