Strangeness.

I don't have time to really check it out, but I think this article says that Sammy Sosa or Frank Thomas has been in the All-Star game since 1993. Then it says that Frank Thomas hasn't been in since 1995 and Sammy has been in since 1998. Strange?

Rosie really makes the dogs happy. Gross. This is our new office mascot who was found on Jackson Street. Anyone know if someone is missing a dog?

Excellent to hear from Carpss:

Carpss: Hey Paco - that's great stuff in your Uberplexer - quite entertaining today.
Auto response from aljfkds: Later.
Carpss: Being in an engaged state, though, I'd like to ammend what I apparently wrote way back when now that I've experienced all that:
Carpss: "Just remember you only have one chance to go to school to do beer, girls, and concerts. Anything else will wait."
Carpss: I think that says it a bit better now.
Carpss: Anyhoo, happy 4th! Let's catch up sometime soon. "There's a party at my house, so bring the beer, far or near. I got the pick-up loaded up with Schlitz, I got the Pinta with Milan. It's OK to be a clown if I pop the top and drink it down. Somebody told me once, 'it's not the way you think, it's not the way you feel, either, it's just the way you drink.'" Never gets old. :-)
Carpss signed off at 10:22:13 PM.

For the record, I would like to make Dan feel a little bit better: it was actually his father who wrote the note. Though, I'm glad to know that someone other than my Bass-drinking adversary and the Fuzzster read this thing. Especially one who says, "...great stuff in your Uberplexer - quite entertaining today."

Dan's reference is to Perfect Thyroid - a ska band we went to see quite a few times while living in Po-town. Due to, I'm guessing, the fact that they broke up I haven't been able to find a link to the lyrics. Do you have them Dan? Or just memorized?

And Dan, I hope posting this doesn't get you in trouble. :) right back at ya.

Cleaning out some boxes of stuff in my room (new desk - place to put stuff). Listening to a little Tribe Called Quest (thanks to the younger bro).

Thought I'd share a few of the items of stuff:

A couple Yankee ticket stubs
A quarter trick that I don't remember how to use
Three eyeball crazee-straws (took the two good eyeballs and chucked the rest)
Handcuffs
Night light
Pocket watch that I broke one night while drunk (given to my by a girlfriend - I think that maybe I have a problem w/ watches)
Britney Spears keychain (oh yeah! and I thought it was gone forever)
IBM badge (from interning)
Lots of pictures
A masterlock that matches the combo that I found the other day (love it when that works out)
Juggling chickens
Juggling balls (hehehe)
More juggling balls (hehehe)
Aerobie (and the cheap version, the Swoosh)
Cigar cutter engraved w/ CGWOTOT (Cool Guys Who Own Their Own Tuxedos)
Picture of Princess Diana that says, "Di Goes Sex Mad - 'I can't get enough'" Classic
Best college report I ever wrote, "The Relationship between Cities and Green Design, Focusing on Germany and the USA"
Vinyl plastic repair kit (?)
Old notebooks
Some letters from ex-girlfriends (apparently they once liked me)
Mid-Hudson Library System card - from good ol' HP
An October 23, 1996 Washington Square News (NYU's student paper) with an article titled "Election Year Has Sudents Answering: 'If I were President...'" The article has the following quote, "Matt Carroll, a CAS freshman, says, 'I'd make Pez the national food.'" Aaah, good to see I haven't grown up at all
Painting of a toilet
About 8 new baseballs
A piece of paper with the following: "This is all going to end badly. I'm going to end up old, broke & a flasher." - Walker Percy to Shelby Foote. Nov. 28, 1977
A metal pig windchime
Matches from the Claridge Hotel & Casino
The ACME Thunderer whistle (best lifeguarding whistle)
A book in french - which I don't speak
Another kazoo
A bullet from Israel
A poem I wrote in high school - The River (I find that most of my writing is waaay too melodramatic - but this poem wasn't terrible)
Valentine's Day card from my friend Linda's parents - written to Linda (don't know how I got this one)
High school yearbook
A menu stolen from the Rolling Rock Diner by RJ and Dan Carp - and sent to me at school. It has a note from Mr. Carp that ends, "Just remember you only have one chance to show what you can do in school. The beer, girls, concerts will always be available." Not true
A letter from a girl that starts, "I'm sorry for being such a complete crackwhore bitch to you." At least she knows her place

But in the end, I don't have a date tonight and this sucks. Plus the CD just ended.

Email from Mr. F. Glynn:

Hey guys this is a pretty cool rube goldberg procedure made by Honda.
I hope it does not't play 20 seconds then stop for 2 minutes to download another 10 seconds to play and repeat this for eternity (Thanks to my crappy modem connection).

http://home.comcast.net/~bernhard36/honda-ad.html


Read the below information first if you want to know all the back round info, otherwise go to the website link above. The commercial is about 2 minutes long. Enjoy the momentary diversion from the daily grind. Can't say the commercial influences me to buy a Honda Accord, but then again it isn't white chocolate Reese's.


BACK ROUND:
New Honda commercial in the UK. Very important that you understand: There are no computer graphics or digital tricks in the film. Everything you see really happened in real time exactly as you see it. The film took 606 takes. On the first 605 takes, something, usually very minor, didn't work. They would then have to set the whole thing up again. The crew spent weeks shooting night and day. By the time it was over, they were
ready to change professions. The film cost six m i l l i o n dollars and took three months to complete including a full engineering of the sequence. In addition, it's two minutes long so every time Honda airs the film on British television, they're shelling out enough dough to keep any one of us in clover for a lifetime. However, it is fast becoming the
most downloaded advertisement in Internet history.

Honda executives figure the ad will soon pay for itself simply in "free" viewings (Honda isn't paying a dime to have you watch this commercial!). When the ad was pitched to senior executives, they signed off on it immediately without any hesitation-including the costs. There are six and only six hand-made Accords in the world. To the horror of Honda engineers, the filmmakers disassembled two of them to make the film. Everything you see in the film (aside from the walls, floor, ramp, and complete Honda Accord) are parts from those two cars. The voice-over is Garrison Keillor.

When the ad was shown to Honda executives, they liked it and commented on how amazing computer graphics have gotten. They fell off their chairs when they found out it was for real. Oh, and about those funky windshield wipers. On the new Accords, the windshield wipers have water sensors and are designed to start doing their thing automatically as soon as they become wet. It looks a bit weird in the commercial.

Coolness.
