Jim Funnylastname, reporting the sports results...

I'm of the opinion that sports guys on almost any news show must have funny names. It's the first rule for anyone to report on sports. It's set in stone. I could be wrong. :)

That guy's a jerk, I like Nascar

If you've read my post "Ron Burgundy is an elf?" than you realize that I'm not a Will Ferrell fan. I realized another reason why, well more like a twist on the original reason. That reason is that all of Ferrell's characters are pretty much the same half-retarded character. When I told my parents my insight, my dad said that that made sense since Will Ferrell is half-retarded. I tend to agree.

Close Encounters of the Stupid Kind

I am a bit annoyed by the whole idea that ancient man may have had help kick starting civilization. I'm annoyed with one man in particular, Erich von Däniken. If you're not familiar with this crazy and his crack pot ideas than let me enlighten you. He more or less says that there were extraterrestrials who visited Earth in distant past and basically did what I mentioned in the beginning sentence. Erich von Doodooface calls this the "Ancient Astronaut theory."

What I have a hard time wrapping my mind around is the arrogance/stupidity, you pick, of not only von Daniken but also those who buy into his crap. They seem to think that ancient man simply could not be remotely smart enough to come up with the technology that they had. That ancient man was actually intelligent. True, ancient man had some strange beliefs but that doesn't mean that they couldn't figure out that if you stick a piece of copper into wine you get a reaction. Or that ancient Egyptian Pharaohs couldn't figure out how to get their citizens to build the pyramids and other projects of the State. As for the Egyptian statement it's called the citizens paying taxes with help from some slaves but let's ignore what historical documents say, ok?

Number 11 on the Bottom 10

I swear at times I must be at least half-way retarded or get a kick out of trying to get the jibbilies. because I was online a few minutes ago and watching trailers for a horror movie, Pulse. The explanation behind what I said is that I was getting ready to go back to bed for a few hours but if the trailers somehow managed to give me the jibbilies than I might not be able to calm down for a few minutes. That's silly though.

Bad News Bears

I admit that I'm bit slow to have learned of this unfortunate news. I just learned that Jim Baen died June 28th. I did hear that he had had a stroke a little over a month ago but I hadn't heard anything new. Until a few minutes ago that is.
