Today I went to see Matt Nathanson and Collective Soul at KFOG’s KaBoom show. They were each a lot of fun, although I’m still not huge on the whole big outdoor concert thing. It seems like so much energy is lost. Both of them tried to do the whole call/response thing, but in the SF winds it’s hard to hear anyone singing along.

Anyway, I was intrigued by a tattoo on a guy near me. He was shirtless and had “BURNS” in giant letters across his upper back. I wonder if this is there as a reminder to apply sunblock to that area when he is going to go shirtless, since it burns. On the same token, I speculate that he may have tattoos on his inner thighs that say “chafes”.

So apparently there are two schools of thoughts about how to score miniature golf. One way involves numbers:

The other way… well, does not:

By my math, "awesome" is greater than "poop", so I think I may have won.

I randomly found this contest while looking for something related to M.C. Gainey. It sounds like quite a bargain.

This cracks me up:

In a bit of surprising news, I found out that poker beat out MySpace as the top search on Lycos in 2006. In even more surprising news, people are still searching on Lycos. Seriously, who does that? I suspect these search numbers are based on about 87 users who are using their Prodigy dial-up accounts. I would expect, based on the user base’s relative awareness of the advances in the world, that the top searches would be “George H. W. Bush reelection” or “Right Said Fred lyrics” or “The Bodyguard release date”.

Wait, does this mean that someone actually still works for Lycos? I think if I met someone who told me they worked for Lycos, I would think they were joking.

So are people still using Northern Lights too? Did anyone ever use Northern Lights?

I think I just dated myself.

After a cell phone discussion about how much money he plans to spend on snowboarding clothes: “I’ll look like a pimp out there.” At this point, I’m picturing this white teenage kid snowboarding while wearing a furry purple suit and too much jewelery. Then: “Well, a pimp who falls down a lot.” I can only assume he tripped on the suit…

My brain is a weird place when I’m tired.

Bush supports hybrids, flex-fuel cars. “Bush has said the United States is ‘addicted to oil’ and has encouraged new technologies to reduce the country’s dependence on imported energy.” I feel like I’m reading The Onion.

Guns N Roses cancels show over booze law, because they weren’t allowed to drink on stage. Said Axl Rose: “I agree with, and ultimately take responsibility for, the end decision not to jeopardize the safety of the fans, the crews, the bands and myself as a result of the methods of these particularly draconian authorities.” I can’t even begin to understand how a sober Guns N Roses is a danger to the fans, crews, and themselves. Well, besides the music.

Dude, the world is confusing.

This video cracks me up.

Real update coming soon. Really.

My fear of Jefferson grows deeper. For those of you who haven’t heard, I was frightened when Jefferson started getting closer.
He went from

to

It reminded me of that spitting dinosaur in Jurassic Park. You never saw it move, but every time Nedry turned around, it was closer. I figured Jefferson was going to blind me and eat my intestines any minute. I tried to never keep nickels in my pocket, because I didn’t trust him. Well, this morning, I looked at my change and he was looking back at me!

I have put him under a stack of quarters. Big George has my back, so I’m not scared. For now.

I am so amused by this. I work with Ben, so the idea that he doesn’t exist amuses me to no end. Although I have always suspected that he was some sort of non-existant marketing tool.
