This One Is For Troy!


Troy says that every time he sees this he thinks of me. Personally, I'd like to know what you're implying Troy. Huh? Howz bout it? Anyway, here it is, a clip from Bedazzled where he wishes to be a world class basketball player, a player that moves and jumps like Jordan, that shoots like Hornacek and is as tall as Bradley. He doesn't count on the Devil having a sense of humor. He is lacking in one thing, well at least one thing. Enjoy.
You can't beat a band like this - George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, and Jeff Lynne. Great song!

The revenge of Billy Ray Cyrus

Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart, I just don't think he'll understand, and if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart he might just release his daughter to take revenge on the world!

Am I the only one that thinks Hannah Montana's (Miley Cyrus) music is just as crappy as her dad's awful one hit wonder?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

The return of Hanson




















Can you say Mmm Bop? I knew you could.

If you're a fan of Nickelodeon, and who isn't? then you have seen the promos and ads for "The Naked Brothers Band". I think they sound like Hanson and smell like Christina Aguilera (whatever that means).

So, we see, what goes around comes around; "The Naked Brothers Band" Hanson for Generation Y (or whatever you call this generation of kids.) I already feel more stupid for posting this.

The Purina Diet


I was in Wal-Mart buying a large bag of Purina dog chow and was in line to check out. A woman behind me asked if I had a dog........ duh!
I was feeling a bit crabby , so on impulse, I told her no, I was
starting The Purina Diet again although I probably shouldn't because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an
intensive care unit with tubes coming out of most of myorifices and IV's in both arms.
Her eyes about bugged out of her head. I went on and on with the bogus diet story and she was totally buying it. I told her that it was an easy, inexpensive diet and that the way it works is to load your pockets or purse with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry.
The package said the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again.
I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story, particularly a tall guy standing just behind her.
Horrified, she asked if something in the dog food had poisoned me and was that why I ended up in the hospital.
I said no.....I'd been sitting in the street licking my butt when a
car hit me.

I thought the tall guy was going to have to be carried out the
door.

FarCry Screen Shots





FarCry is a first-person shooter by Ubisoft. It's been out for a few years but has some pretty sweet graphics. I was about to finish it and ended up formatting my computer. I guess I should have backed up my game files. Here are some screen shots, again at different video levels. The later shots should be better quality:

Battlefield 2 Screen Shots

I was experimenting with my video settings (these photos are out of order by the way) and was able to get some really good quality. I have an NVidia GeForce 6800 Go for an Alienware Area 51 model 7700 laptop. Alienware hasn't updated their OEM NVidia drivers for two years and it's impossible to update them from NVidia's site because they're OEM drivers. But I found a workaround that seems to have done the trick. You'll notice that the first screen shots have better quality than the later ones.
