| WHAT IF TODAY’S ADVERTISERS CREATED THE STOP SIGN ? |

…this is going to be a rant…
….this vid makes me laugh and cry with despair. this is a very accurate rendition of corporate decision makers – or lack thereof. the fact that it is similar to what i’ve been dealing with for the last four months, makes me want to put Agile in a headlock and strangle Wiki and Jira.
I f*ckin hate MS Project!

LOL – you can find more despair on thewallstreetfighter.com

“The seatbelt light is on sir, please sit in your seat”

Just a random thought:

Ok so this is a little more of a rant than a post but.. people..when the seatbelt light is on when you are on an aircraft and the plane is bouncing around.. sit yo-self down, and buckle up.. dont get up and go to the washroom and have a verbal banter with the flight attendant about your righ to pee…. after all … it’s for your safety and for those around you…. thank you!

After flying in a turbulent flight from Toronto Vancouver on Sunwings yesterday I was so amazed at how many people don’t listen or pay attention to safety but have no problem paying attention to the details of their airline food… for $333 (with taxes, both ways, yes BOTH ways.. I  know!!!) that includes a full meal each way with pleasantville like flight attendants why the heck would anyone have the right to complain about their food being a little hot…. ahhhhhhhhhhh.. the human race continues to amaze me!

| douchebags |

….there are many definitions for the term Douchebag:

A douchebag usually assumes the form of a hair-gelling pretty-boy but can also be described as an overzealous, pompous, or vexatious asshole that most people wish were killed with a Mortal Kombat fatality.  – urbandictionary.com

They’re flexing in their skin-tight t-shirt, invading women’s personal space at the bar and going on and on about their goddamn promotion.  – cracked.com

the best site that i’ve found for Douchebag Research and visual index of Douchebaggery is www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com

the site focuses on the definitions of douche as it applies to social situations with women…the mere existence of the phenomenon is constantly questioned and developed with categories, stories and commentary….such as:

…there are really only two things that i shop for that gets my blood pumping…

> > > Boots and Glasses > > >

i love wearing glasses and having sweet stylish footwear….so, i was tickled when Leah C. posted a dandy link on Pownce that directed me to this amazingly dandy site. you can narrow down which styles you like by clicking and progressing to other collections of preferable shoes, eye wear and handbags.

…believe me…this is more satisfying than Zappos!

(:

Check out Modista… and happy trails…

| banana hammock |

ok……these 2 dudes were posing in their speedos at the beach. i watched them as they were striking matching poses – they’re like bookends! what possesses a hairy overweight balding man to flounce around in only a brightly coloured nut hugger? (is it a European thing?)

i barely have the courage to wear a bikini, yet these exhibitionists are bearing it all. (and what do men DO about the crotch spiders anyways? is there even a concern there?)

let’s just keep the rules straight – with a help from some experts:

The Speedo aka the budgie smuggler, dick tog, competition brief, bather, dick sticker, banana hammock or the grape cape was not designed for the normal male. (This post is directed toward men. If you are a woman who wears a man’s Speedo you are clearly not normal and need to cease and desist immediately!!!)  There are of course exceptions to every rule including this one. If you are a Normal Person who falls into any of the following categories Speedos are perfectly acceptable.

1. If you are a competitive swimmer and/or diver. This does not refer to you and your buddies racing at the community pool.

2. If you are a Lifeguard who is required to wear one. Yes. This actually happens in some countries

3. If you are David Beckham or you look like David Beckham. If you are either of those you are clearly not normal. You are a god. Call me sometime.

4. If you look anything like the guy in the white speedo above. Once again, you are not normal. You are a god. Please do women everywhere a favor and wear a speedo everyday!

If you do not fall into one of these categories please do yourself and everyone else a favor and refrain from wearing a Speedo, in public at least.

| “i’m kind of a big deal” -the hadron collider |

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and highest-energy particle accelerator complex, intended to collide opposing beams of protons with very high kinetic energy. Its main purpose is to explore the validity and limitations of the Standard Model, the current theoretical picture for particle physics. It is theorized that the collider will confirm the existence of the Higgs boson, the observation of which could confirm the predictions and missing links in the Standard Model, and could explain how other elementary particles acquire properties such as mass.

The LHC was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), and lies underneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland. It is funded by and built in collaboration with over eight thousand physicists from over eighty-five countries as well as hundreds of universities and laboratories. The LHC is operational and is presently in the process of being prepared for collisions. The first beams were circulated through the collider on 10 September 2008, and the first high-energy collisions are planned to take place after the LHC is officially unveiled on 21 October.

Although there have been questions concerning the safety of the Large Hadron Collider in the media and even through the courts, the consensus in the scientific community is that there is no conceivable threat from the LHC particle collisions.
