How did we win the Cold War if the Russians had BEARS THAT CAN PLAY HOCKEY?! Youtube video attached; thanks Ryan! (This might be Ukrainian or some other country that uses a Cyrillic character set; but I’ll continue to be an ignorant American and just say it’s Russian- I can do that because we won the Cold War )

Should I be concerned that the seller said “IF“?

Governor Spitzer was in Rochester Yesterday to announce that they’re tearing down Midtown Plaza to build a new headquarters building for Paetec. It should be good for downtown- Anyway, Here’s a video from the 60s about Midtown Plaza- it has that awesome 1960s documentary feel to it.

Randy scolded me for not sharing google reader items, so I added a port for it on the right and I’ll try to share more stuff- unfortunately I decided to start this after I went through all of my entries, so there’s not a lot there yet- stay tuned though, I’m sure there’ll be lots of stuff there soon. If you use RSS, then you can subscribe directly to my shared items. Go here to see the entries themselves and to find the corresponding feed.

Randy also said I need to post more photos; well here you go- yes it’s me from way back in High School; I had a friend who worked at the Mohawk PD who took my mugshot and gave it to me; fun times.

Monty Python + Star Trek… Is anything better?

Bumper Stickers

I got this in an email from my father; it’s pretty good:

An honest man was being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him.

He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.

The tailgating woman hit the roof–and the horn–screaming in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection. As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, finger printed, photographed and placed in a holding cell.

After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.

He said, “I’m very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the ‘Choose Life’ license plate
holder, the ‘What Would Jesus Do’ bumper sticker, the ‘Follow Me to Sunday School’ bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car.”
