Unnecessary quotes

I've walked by this information board many times over the past month and I had never really noticed the un-necessary quotation marks. This morning I stopped and snapped a photo of it.

I wonder what they mean by "off-peak" LOL Happy

Drinking with the fishes

I saw this image on the FAIL blog a week ago and I thought I should share it with you.

It reminds me of a story a friend once told me of his/her actions while drunk thinking that he/she was a merman/mermaid
(articles are intentionally both male and female to protect the identity of the friend) Happy

Stupid questions, stupid answers on Yahoo! Questions.

Television Tuesdays: The invisible man

The invisible man is another scifi channel series that is free on Hulu.


Now, it's not a series that I would characterize as "must see", but rather I would characterize it as "if you don't have anything better to do, and want to see something that doesn't suck, but it's also not excellent, see this".


The main character is a professional thief who gets caught because he is also Mr. nice guy. In jail he gets a visit from his brother who wants to use him as a guinea pig for invisibility experiments, and as payback he gets pardoned. Good deal, right?


Well, things go wrong, and he now works for the company, with no end in sight. He does have a goofy sidekick, and the humor is a bit sophomoric, but all things considered the series is not that bad.


It's a good thing to watch on a lazy Sunday afternoon, if you've got nothing else to do.

Still waiting for that Greek keyboard

I found this graphic on wewantapplegreece.com, and it's quite funny (but I am sure it's all Greek to you)

The iPhone was released in Greece last August, but there is neither an OS localization available nor a Greek keyboard for people to input text in Greek. This image makes fun of that.

The Mac asks What's going on here guys?
The PC responds: This guy had the bright idea of buying an iPhone 3G because he saw somewhere that "really soon" there will be an update of the firmware to enable support of the Greek character set, and we've been waiting for three months now...

I am warming up to the iPhone, but no Greek means no purchase for me Happy

Television Tuesdays: The Hollowmen


hollowmen 1
Now I know I recommend a lot of television on Tuesdays (I haven't panned a lot, I don't think), but this series is a MUST see! This is an Australian show on ABC1 (australian channel). It follows the work lives of a government think tank, complete with advisory committee and pollsters!

The PM (prime minister) goes to these guys to get feedback on new initiatives, or to get ideas to get the ball rolling on projects, or to deflect attention when shit hits the fan. Some of the themes are uniquely Australian, such as the cost of maintenance of The Lodge, but other topics are current in American culture, such as taxes, and low recruitment in the armed forces.

This series is just laugh-out-loud-funny - it's what happens when Dilbert meets The Office in the Political Realm in Australia.

My favorite line in the series is You can't call a Crisis a Crisis...unless you have a solution or it's someone else's fault.

You can watch the episodes for free on ABC1's website - here

Television Tuesdays: It's always sunny in Philadelphia

xlarge
I was a bit skeptical when I first started watching this series. I thought the humor would be rather sophomoric - not that I am looking for high brow humor, but anyway - I gave it a chance.

The series revolves around a group of friends (and later on a rather immature parent figure) who are running a bar in philadelphia and get into rather bizarre situations.

The humor is quite...unexpected, at least for me. It reminds me of the british office in an "oh-my-god! I can believe he said/did that!" type of way.

The fourth season should start airing on FX this year, and all three seasons are available for free on Hulu.

If politically incorrect humor is your thing - go watch a few episodes of this series, you'll drop down laughing.

Check it out!

Television Tuesdays: Knights of Prosperity

knightsofprosperity2
The Knights of Prosperity is a series that was cancelled, I think it only had one season on ABC. The show is still available, as of this writing, to view online for free, on ABC's streaming site.

This sitcom's main idea was that there was a group of unrelated people who had one thing in common: they had financial troubles. What are they to do? Well, they decided that it would be a good idea to try and steal Mick Jagger's money... The story goes on from there, taking very comical twists and turns while the team tries to infiltrate Mick's home and steal his riches.

I think that this show is worth a look, before it bites the digital dust

Television Tuesdays: The line

The line is an original webisode series on Hulu that is seven episodes long. It chronicles what happens in the week before the final episode of FutureSpace (a movie that resembles Star Wars).

Two friends start a line one week before the premier of the movie...and comedy ensues! All I have to say is that it's funny and different. Each webisode is about 4 minutes long, so the whole thing should not take a long time to view.

Second Life - The Office


We were discussing Second Life in class the other day, or rather the like or dislike that some people have for Second Life and that whole virtual 3D internet double life that some people lead.

I came across this excerpt from the office on Hulu about Second Life - pretty funny

The society of librarians who say *bleep*

Recently Google reader recommended an RSS feed for me. This blog is about the everyday frustrations of librarians and library patrons and it’s called the society of librarians who say mofo. I have to say that initially I was skeptical about the site, but I find humor in the every day absurdities that occur in the lives of these individuals mostly because I’ve seen or heard something in my immediate circles.

One story that’s caught my attention is this whole surrendering of the library card to access the AV collection and the constant monitoring of PC terminals in the library. Now I am not a schooled librarian, but I consider myself a librarian at heart, MLS or no MLS, and I have to say that as someone who interacts with librarians and has two management degrees, I cringe at the tactics that the library in the blog story is using. Furthermore I am surprised at the apparent complacency of most of the townsfolk.

Television Tuesday: Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show

Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show !

Ok there isn’t much to say about this show that can adequately describe it! You just have to see it!
This is a series of short webisodes. The show is essentially a mocking of those crazy Japanese television shows, and the engrish and utter wackiness that you see in them.
