Pop Quiz Asshole...continued

I'm sure you've been on the edge of your seat waiting for this post, well sorry in advance because it's not THAT good of a cliffhanger. So I'll get right down to it:

Reason number one was so you can improve your vision of people, places or things, but in contrast, like a lighthouse (Ah...it all comes together) you can emit light so others can improve their vision of YOU.

#2) Improve your visibility to others around you, to let them know where exactly you are in non ideal lighting conditions.

Thanks for the science class Greg, what's your point? Shut up dick. Here's my point:

My Drive to work on Monday and Tuesday of this week was some of the worse driving conditions possible for this time of year. Monday was incredibly foggy, like maybe 10 feet of viability. Tuesday was torrential downpour that led to massive thunderstorms. Both days were dark, and were far from ideal lighting conditions. Yet an astronomical amount (50%) of drivers in their cars thought that their daytime running lights were sufficient enough for them to see what lies ahead of them. Which, shit, maybe it was. But guess what Daytime running lights don't do?... turn your lights on. So, in these conditions your invisible to all those people who are driving BEHIND you - and since you're driving like a little bitch perhaps you should warn those people where you are so they don't slam into your "Oh my god it's raining" slow ass!

It's simple, and for some reason Car Manufactures haven't made it so your lights are on when your cars on, and their off when it's not (No more oops I left my lights on stories). But that isn't the case, so unless it's bloody gorgeous, where you know you better put on SPF 15 just to leave the house, fine, drive with your daytime running lights. But if there is a cloud in the sky, that may cast a shadow that even remotley makes it difficult to see you, or of course it's weather like Monday or Tuesday and you just don't do it...I hope a Transport slams into the back of you, spins you into the ditch and continues on his way... And of course the other idiots wouldn't see you and help because they're not driving with their lights on either. And I sure as fuck ain't stopp'n.

My Final 3 Picks err Ladies

3.02 - Alina Vacariu


4.15 - Eva Mendes


5.02 - Keira Knightley


The Playoffs have started, and I drew the team that had the first overall pick - Jessica Alba. His team is missing some notoriety after that though and it will cost him. After 16 Votes I lead 11-5

WARNING - Entering A Tracker Free Site



The management at Cyberspace has decided to make this a tracker free site until further notice. Every blog I regularly visit now has a tracker plugged into it, and as much as I enjoyed visiting those sites multiple times a day to see if it was updated with new life learnings, comical banter, or comments, or more simply to kill 3-4 minutes of work - I have stopped doing so. Why? I don't know actually, maybe I liked lurking in the shadows more than being watched, watch you. As far as I can tell I knew you were all visiting my site, and me yours, and blogs have always made for great in person discussions when we meet up proving our loyalty. For the week I had my tracker it was nice to confirm it (Thanks for stopping by BTW!), but the novelty has worn off. It was even interesting to see that a few people from Portugal, France and Australia visited my blog during that time... but I don't know who they are and my intention isn't to entertain or update those people, and for those venting posts where it's nice to just write, I don't need to have anyone read it, or atleast prove it.


Do I want you to take yours down? Maybe a little part of me does, but I'm okay with it, at very least get the same week long learnings mine gave me. I do ask you post at minimum a 1/5 ratio of checking your stats however, after all, if you have time to check those... But perhaps me visiting less is a good thing or perhaps eventually I'll realize I throughly do enjoy watching you, or at very least the anticipation of catching a glimpse of a new post, even if you can see me (sorry for the continuous dirty old man references). Maybe these will encourage more comments, and I hope it does. That is a good thing.

This post is not a direct response to SnH's post about having one - atleast she told us she was watching us. I sure didn't tell you and for that I apologize. And I'm in no position to tell you how to run your blog, only posting my personal reaction to these trackers - personally I'm a little surprised at how my reaction to this experiment turned out. Anyway, stop by Cyberspace when ever you please as often as you please. But I would ask since I've confirmed you do in fact visit, some several times a day, to share your comments more often, even if it's just to say hi or that you liked/dislike the post.

Random Movie Quote

"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass...
And I'm all out of bubblegum!"

- Roddy Piper as Nada in "They Live" (1988).


I just had someone quote me this apparently famous movie line and let me tell you I'm very regretful I'm just hearing it now for the first time. So to pass along the favour and this gem enjoy the following clip:



And no, this has nothing to do with the last post.

EDIT - Mr. H pointed out to me that this line is somewhat more familiar than originally thought. It seems Richard Linklater was a Roddy Piper fan, in his slightly more famous 1993 "Dazed and Confused" it would appear he makes tough guy Clint utter a very similar line that reads:

CLINT: I only came here to do two things,
kick some ass and drink some beer.
[glances over his shoulder]
Looks like we're almost outta beer.

Here is a relatively simple question to pose before I get to my main post about this topic sometime in the near future.

Are You Smarter Than A Grape?

Some US Military Bimbo on Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader, just uttered the phrase, on national television mind you..."Well...North America is a Country". She won $300,000.

She quit the game on 1st Grade World Geography. The question was "Which Continent is also a Country".

Even stupider was her lifeline remaining, that if she guessed wrong, she could have guessed a colour or a number for Christs sakes, the 5th grade helper would have bailed her out, giving her an additional $200,000 and a chance to double the $500K to $1,000,000 in the bonus round.

Every now and then you need to be reminded just how stupid some people are, and just how unfair it can be when these morons win that much money. Here's hoping she doesn't harm the world any further and multiply.

Oh, and in case you were wondering; Australia.

I'm Rich! w/ Commentary

Bri's post, and my boredom have lead me to think this would be much more enjoyable to read if I were to share my thoughts as we go along. Shall we:

DR MARK WHITE
(ooooh...a doctor, better listen up)

BANK OF AFRICA
(I've heard of Africa...seems strange to have an entire Continent governing bank, but hey why would a doctor lie )

BURKINA FASO
OUAGADOUGOU_BURKINA FASO
(looks like authentic African writing to me, a click or two would have been nice )

DEAR FRIEND,
(Name's "Greg" fuckstick, it's probably written somewhere on the imaginary files on your imaginary desk in your made up bank)

I KNOW THAT THIS MAIL WILL COME TO YOU AS A SURPRISE. I AM THE BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER IN BANK OF AFRICA BURKINA FASO. I HOPED THAT YOU WILL NOT EXPOSE OR BETRAY THIS TRUST AND CONFIDENT THAT I AM ABOUT TO REPOSE ON YOU FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF OUR BOTH FAMILIES.

(All CAPS? WOW I'M REALLY INTERESTED NOW! And don't worry you contacted me in the safest most secure way to my hotmail account, why would I betray that sanctity?)

WE NEED YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE IN TRANSFERRING THE SUM OF $22.5MILLION IMMEDIATELY TO YOUR ACCOUNT. THE MONEY HAS BEEN DORMANT FOR YEARS IN OUR BANK HERE WITHOUT ANY BODY COMING FOR IT.

(URGENT? Well thank the holy sweet grail this didn't get caught by my spam protector)

WE WANT TO RELEASE THE MONEY TO YOU AS THE NEAREST PERSON TO OUR DECEASED CUSTOMER(THE OWNER OF THE ACCOUNT)WHO DIED A LONG WITH HIS SUPPOSED NEXT OF KIN IN AN AIR CRASH SINCE JULLY 2002.

(JULLY? As in Peanut Butter and Jully? Anyway, I wonder which multi-millionaire Uncle of mine that traveled to Africa in 2002 he would be talking about? Real head scratcher)


WE DON'T WANT THE MONEY TO GO INTO OUR BANK TREASURY AS AN ABANDONED FUND. SO THIS IS THE REASON WHY I CONTACTED YOU, SO THAT WE WILL CAN RELEASE THE MONEY TO YOU AS THE NEAREST PERSON TO THE DECEASED CUSTOMER. PLEASE WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO KEEP THIS PROPOSAL AS A TOP SECRET AND DELETE IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED.

(Top Secret? Would it be okay if I told my family my Uncle is dead?)

UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR REPLY, I WILL SEND YOU FULL DETAILS ON HOW THE BUSINESS WILL BE EXECUTED AND ALSO NOTE THAT YOU WILL HAVE 30% OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED SUM IF YOU AGREE TO TRANSACT THE BUSINESS WITH ME, 10 % WILL BE SET ASIDE FOR EXPENSES INCURRED DURING THE BUSINESS, I WILL NOT FAIL TO BRING TO YOUR NOTICE THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS HITCH FREE AND THAT YOU SHOULD NOT ENTERTAIN ANY ATOM OF FEAR.

(How the hell are you going to ring up 2.5 million dollars in expenses in Africa sending me a wire transfer. What is happening to the other 60% you slimy bastard...I'm starting to think you're not even a real doctor. )

I EXPECT THAT YOUR REPLY FOR MORE DETAILS IMMEDIATELY YOU RECEIVE THIS LETTER.

YOURS FAITHFULLY
DR MARK WHITE

(Dear Dr. Mark,

Well the caps lock got me interested and the poor grammar pushed me over the top. I'm curious as to what is going to happen with the extra 60% and who benefits from the interest you've accumulated on 22.5 million since 2002, but paying you 2.5 million for contacting me seems fair. On second thought Mark, may I call you Mark?, donate the money, all of it including your commission and interest to an Aids/Africa foundation near by, I'm sure the "BANK OF AFRICA" knows of one, my uncle would have wanted it that way. Just be sure to email me my tax credit.

Your's Not so faithfully, "Friend")

Result: Zero Points, sort of:

13 months ago, I got a speeding ticket - technically my first ever. Did you guess what possible situation would make me of all people want zero points instead of 3 or 4? If you guessed because points against my driving record due to a parking ticket is bad, well then you're a fucking liar. But that's beside the point, and today was decision day...

For those that have ever driven with me, you'll probably be surprised to find out that I've only ever received this one speeding ticket. There was that time in High School where I got pinned going 130+ in an 80 nearing dusk on good old Carrying Place Road... but when my I pulled into a nearby golf course parking lot as the cop finally caught me, I told the officer a friend and I had to squeeze in a quick nine. He, luckily a golfer, more than understood and let me off with a warning. I had no intention of golfing and would have had to "rent" clubs if he actually searched my car - but it worked like a charm. After waiting 5-10 minutes in the parking lot for the Cop to disappear, I decided to stick to my plan of not golfing and was off again. Since then, I've been pushing the envelope with my need for speed. Figuring I was +1, I owed one back.

I made it nearly another 10 years, including 2 years where I had a company car with a company gas card. And if you ever drove in that van with me, you'll know the only thing faster than my speed was my amazing ability to honk at someone who irritated me for whatever stupid thing they were doing at the time as I passed them. That was until the week after i returned that company van driving our old sunfire and was returning from visiting my sick mother - in a very rare, take my time, no need to rush ride home. Gerrard East, between Parliament and Carlaw is one of the dirtiest stretches of Toronto - good old Regant Park, where apparently the Speed Limit is 40. To be honest I can't believe 40 actually exists anymore anywhere, but this is one of those places where the government forces you to drive slow - perhaps to take in the glorious view of all their rent controlled, welfare receiving upstanding citizens. Anyway, this is also where Mr. Wiggum set up his speed trap. And although I was being passed at the time of the ticket by another driver, and the other driver thought it was him who deserved the ticket and also pulled over (I agreed it should have been him) it was my license plate on the yellow slip when all was said and done. Total Damage 72 in a 40... Ha, I parallel park at 72...brutal. But apparently nearly doubling the speed limit is worth close to $300 and 4 demerit points.

So I went home, wrote a check and that was that...

Yeah right. I was quickly on the phone with a friend of mine who as a profession fights traffic tickets - sweet. He was probably wondering why I wanted to bring him out for a few beers, but he came along without much of a fight. 13 Months ago he entered my ticket into the system and I was queued in line for trial. 13 Months have gone by, and today was trial day.

I didn't actually attend the trial - my people were handling it for me - but it went quickly, and interestingly good & bad. The defense began arguing my case, talked about whatever it is they talk about, blamed some crap on the "system" that it's been 13 months yadda yadda, and before he was finished, the Judge agreed. He dismissed my ticket, and I won the case. Yeah!!! Oh shit wait...

You see if this was the judge that presided over the OJ case, the juice would be in jail. But thanks to equal hearings, both sides of the system must be heard - enter the ill fitting glove. Or to clear up my analogy a little better for you when my case was dismissed, the prosecution was a little miffed that they were not heard from. And apparently my friend, and the "crown" had some heated words as an appeal was promised to be filed. Damn.

Gee Greg, this post is getting a little long, why don't you wrap it up? Hey, why don't you get back to work you son of a bitch and stop worrying about the length of my posts!

Anyway here's the details going forward. The appeal hearing will take roughly another 8-10 months to be heard. And as you can imagine, the appeal will be won by Obi Wan Matlock who's worried about his win/loss ratio. So in 10 months from now, when D.A. Ben wins his appeal they will set a new trial date to rehear my case. And assuming that is another 8-10 months,with some quick arithmetic, carry the one it's a total of roughly 30 months to make a final ruling on my need for speed. 30 Months? A bit of a time waster, but with that process comes some good news. You see, it's law in this fine country of ours that a traffic infraction may only appear on your permanent record for a total of 2 years...or 24 months. And for some unknown reason those 24 months start on the date of ticket issue, NOT the date of ticket conviction. So even if I lose my case - it doesn't matter, at least to me. I'm scott free, no fine, no points, no fuss, no muss. The system works!

Look out world, I'm now +2.

3 Points, 4 Points or Zero

I'm hoping for zero. I'll let you know later today.

Stalkbook

Not overly funny, but I was in the mood for a Enrique Iglesias spoof, and a good old Facebook Bashing.

Hot Chicks Draft: Round 2 Selection


Ms. Petra Nemcova

Last years winning team Captain joins my squad once again. Not much not to love about this stunningly gorgeous, yet very cute, geek loving, tsunami surviving goddess.

Hot Chicks Draft 2007 - Update

The most controversial pick of the first 9 was in fact, Ms. Johansson. Roughly 8/10 vastly approved of the pick, but those other 2/10, obviously older and out of touch, ragged on her big time. But you can't win em all, and that ratio got me off to a great start in my quest to repeat. There were a lot of picks that got ragged on in the first 2 rounds, you'll see a few stick out like sore thumbs. But to each their own, and 1 flavour of ice cream would be very boring.

The rest of the next two rounds went as such.

5 - Jessica Biel (Not a fan!)

7 - Angelina Jolie
8 - Adriana Lima
9 - Stacey Kiebler
10 - Alessandra Ambrosio (Scouted last year by yours truly)
11 - Beyonce Knowles (Always falls out of the top 10 - #1 My Ass)
12 - Jessica Simpson (Hate her)
13 - Heidi Klum (Somehow found a picture of her NOT pregnant)
14 - Christina Aguilera
15 - Shakira
16 - Liz Hurley (Nope that isn't a joke. We let some British Guy play)

Round 2

Random Movie Review

THE ISLAND

I
n honor of the IMDB.com themed "H.C.D.2007" and my first selection, I have decided to brush the dust off the Random Movie Review. I've been meaning to RMR this movie for a while actually. The Island definitely contains the elements required for a good action movie: Hot Actors, Multiple Explosions, Chase Scene(s), Multiple and Unique Death Scenes, etc. but it also has a lot of the elements for simply a good movie: acting, premise, & fun (okay not so much acting). Beware however Rotten Tomatoes has this hidden Gem at a paltry 39% a.k.a rotten, very rotten. However one of the Critics who gives this movie a thumbs down says:

"For about an hour, you forget this is a Michael Bay movie. Then the fireworks start coming and never stop."

Hmm... 1 hour of plot building and character development that is not in the style of Michael Bay (Pearl Harbor much?), then 1 hour of non stop MB "fire works" in an action movie...Boo Hiss! The people of the Island should put that quote on the cover of the DVD for Christs sakes.

Plot - courtesy of Wikipedia:

In 2019, when most of the outside world has been contaminated, a community of people, rescued from the toxic environment, live by utopian standards in an isolated colony. The rules of living are selected for them; clothing, meals, leisure, and jobs are all structured and controlled. Everyone in the community anticipates a special event, the lottery, in which one person wins a chance to move to a paradise, the only uncontaminated area left on Earth, known as "The Island."



I've watched this movie once from start to finish. However, factoring in the 45 minute chunks I've sat through thanks to TMN and brutal network programming, I've probably seen this movie a total of 5-6 times. All entertaining and I'm still moderately surprised just how badly this movie was originially advertised and how little I wanted to watch it back in the Summer of 2005. For those with TMN, check out TMNOD - it may still be there.

If you've already watched this movie, you too were probably pleasantly surprised. If you haven't give it a go - I don't think I've let you down yet.

Enjoy.

Hot Chicks Draft: Round 1 Selection


Ms. Scarlett Johansson


With the 2nd overall draft pick in the 2007 Hot Chicks Draft, I have the pleasure of drafting Ms. Scarlett Johansson (J. Alba went #1). Scarlett is as cute and as dignified/classy as these selections are going to get. A great top 3 selection.

Im Memory of "Not Much of a Weblog"

A World of Strange Guns

Hot Chicks Draft 2007

Around this time last year, with poggie keeping me afloat, I was spending several hours a day looking for a full time job. Not a fun task. March - April were slow months for me for sure. Football season had ended, baseball was still a month away, and the predictable leafs were doing exactly what they're doing this year. I needed something to do other than the depressing task of looking for work, a hobby, a sport...a competition! And I needed people as sick and twisted as me to spend hours a day to do it. I turned to my friends at PigSkinAddiction

Pigskinaddiction is an online football community where of all the message boards, football is only a few. A community made up of 98% Americans, from all over the states and the world. Started by a few Army brats, this website has grown to over 4,000 "trough" members, and weekly, during the season, this site puts out fantastic free football insights filled with hilarious comments, weekly projections and of course their annual draft guide - a must own for the football lover. But deep within this site, in the forums people rarely visit, especially during the off season, resides the truly addicted. Football talk 24/7, political views (fun for a Canadian), Funny Videos / Pictures, excellent and not so excellent local articles, it is here I found what I was looking for: The 2006 Hot Chicks Draft.

An annual event at Pigskin, the Hot Chicks Draft was just what I needed. A competition between 12 degenerates with some extra time on their hands. A competition that worked the same as any other Sports Draft I've been a part of, except the players in this case, were you guessed it - Women. And lets be honest, this is just an organized, more adult (I said more adult, not more mature) way or ripping the pages out of Teen Beat as a kid and pasting them to your wall. But the timing could not have been better. I signed up immediately.

12 Teams. 6 rounds. Roughly a month to draft. Hottest combined team (as determined by an online poll) crowned the winner. The stakes? Along with the bragging rights the 11 losers had to change their online avatar (display picture) to anything the winner decided - for 2 weeks. The winner would also get a customized signature made up of his winning ladies to help tell the trough just who has the best taste in women and was crowned 2006 Hot Chicks Champion.

The draft began with me sitting near the bottom of the order - first off the board: Shakira, one or two people thought a little early for the hip shaking Latina to be off the board, but nobody was about to actually say otherwise. Second went Ms. Jolie a crowd favourite. The third pick, and early candidate for steal of the draft with what was thought to be consensus number one Jessica Alba... The pictures used to represent your selection had to sell your lady. There were pictures that either made or broke peoples teams. A bad picture, or one that does the girl no justice and you could be sunk. One of the rules was you were allowed ONE picture change for your entire team, so in other words get it right the first time. In my opinion the picture of Jolie @ 2 could have cost that team the title. After a few more top notch ladies and a few surprises it was time for the Canadian to draft - and lets be honest I had to represent, so with the 8th overall selection, I chose Calgary's own, Elisha Cuthbert. And the picture I chose, could have been the best of the entire 72. I've had people who don't care much for my selection say just how great that picture was... believe me it was nice. I rounded out my team with 2.5 - Petra Nemcova 3.8 - Keria Knightly 4.5 - Alessandra Ambrosio 5.8 - Natalie Portman & 6.5 Rachel Bilson. A good combination of Star Power, super models, up and comers and overall I'd say I had the best picture selection (googling hot women all day was tough work, but someones got to do it). By an overwhelming number in the end I was crowned 2006 Hot Chicks Draft Champion. Something I must say I'm very proud of - I obviously have a very good taste in women - right Liz?



It wasn't long after this title was bestowed upon me that I found a job, and all things for the year really started to shape up. Coincidence? I think not. The reason for this post however, other than to waste away a good portion of my first slow morning in over a month, (trust me it's well deserved) is to declare my intention to repeat as 2007 Hot Chicks Draft champion, starting in a week. I ask all readers to give me their favorites - players they would like to see on my team, including those late round sleepers. I'll keep you up to date on my team as we go along, and of course the results once finished. This year we're doing a Final 4 Bracket System starting at the sweet 16, playing down to the final 4 and of course the eventual champion, and yes that was my idea.

Sold














Well, I have confirmation the "Sold" sign is on the grass of 17 Melina Lane.

Moving To "The Brook"

Well, in what will ultimately be one of 2007's worst kept secrets, Liz and I have in fact bought a house and will be moving to Brooklin. It wasn't intended on being a secret, but turns out (to nobody's surprise) I am one of those people who must get to the bridge, before I worry about crossing it. So in other words there were many dotting "i"'s and crossing "t"'s that needed to be complete before celebrating the official announcement. And it would appear I have ample road ahead of me before the next bridge, so that day...is today. We're moving to Brooklin!


Where the hell is Brooklin you ask? Well if you follow the 407 east until it ends...it's another 10 minutes. You can also take the 401 to Brock Street North, drive through Whitby and arrive in Brooklin in less than 10 minutes. Brooklin is a nice town, not quite sure it's classified as a city yet, but since 2003 it has quadrupled in population (from 2,500 people to 10,000)and is rapidly growing. Brooklin, or from hence forth "The Brook" is technically Durham region, it is located slightly past the imaginary line where most houses go from simply unaffordable & 50 years old to affordable brand new houses. And when you already live in Markham - what's 15 more minutes for that luxury. No more renting!

One of the best parts of moving to "The Brook" is the fact we not only talked our best friends into looking for a home there as well, but they actually bought a house there before we did - meaning we had friendly neighbors before we even moved. Google has the drive from our place to theirs listed as 4.5km or 7 minutes - but that is taking the classic google's an idiot stupid way, I'd be SHOCKED if it was more than 5 mins. (We're the Green Dot / S&S are the Red Dot)

So enough of the town and the neighbors, onto the house itself:

#17 Melina Lane



It's a 3 year old raised bungalow. During our search Liz and I really enjoyed the bungalow. Lots of great living space, and coming from a town house, much fewer stairs. This picture shows you the single garage, double wide / double long driveway, landscaped path, front porch and the cute little lamp post and baby trees. Melina lane is not a through street, it backs on to a crescent so Melina itself, especially since we're at the end, should be very quiet and maybe down the road good for some street hockey!



This view is looking from the upstairs living area looking towards the front door. The raised part is nice, because the front door opens to a rather large foyer, 2 piece bathroom and garage entrance. No, thankfully that is not our furniture.



This is a view from the downstairs "4th" Bedroom (soon to be a sports themed wet bar / dart room) that looks through the finished basement to the back stairwell that leads upstairs. It's a really nice finished basement (something that I thought I was going to have to pay for separately) and gives us a second living/TV room, very much key to the survival of a couple who live in a bungalow...especially the couple who live in a bungalow with a brother. The room straight ahead is a good sized 3rd bedroom, and there is a 4pc bathroom on the right. Again - NOT OUR FURNITURE!

Check out this link for many more pictures and panoramas of the house - but don't delay because this link will only last publicly so long, afterall, the house is sold.
