12:30 am - Need travel advice!
|
A dear friend of mine will be heading across America via Greyhound in three weeks, and it's her first time riding Greyhound. It's quite a haul, and I was wondering if anyone here has experience riding a bus long distance. Is there anything she should be sure to bring, or travel advice I can pass on to her?
Any sort of advice is very welcome!

11:00 pm - Afghan soldier donkey sex
|
http://news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,8986843^401,00.html
AN Afghan soldier was detained by police after being caught having sex with a donkey in southeastern Afghanistan, a police officer said today.
The soldier was discovered with the donkey in an abandoned house in a small village of Gardez, the capital of Paktia province, last week, a local police officer said.
"He was caught in the act by a small boy who immediately told police about what he had seen and police arrested him in action," the Gardez-based officer said, requesting anonymity.
The soldier claimed he committed the act because he did not have enough money to get married.
After being caught with the donkey in a village about 100km south of the capital Kabul, he was jailed for four days and then released without charge.
According to tradition in south and southeastern Afghanistan, a suitor must pay around $US5,000 ($A6,800) to the parents of the girl he wishes to marry.

12:00 am - Cheep thrill
|
I did something really weird earlier.
I came back from a jog thirsty as all hell; I grabbed the first thing in the fridge and chugged half a bottle of sparkling cider. A moment later I chugged giant gulps of water from a water bottle; There was a significant amount of air in my stomach, and with each gulp, I heard a really loud "Sploosh! Sploosh! Sploosh!" coming from within. It was as loud as one of those office water coolers.
Not something you expect to hear!

2:00 pm - Important valentine question for the ladies!
|
It's cute when a girl sprays a bit of her perfume on a valentine before giving it to a guy.
I don't wear cologne, or perfume for that matter - would it be romantic of me to slather her valentine with a fat stick of my "mountain fresh ultra sport" deodorant?
It's practically the same thing, right?

This has got to be the funniest flash animation I've ever watched. It's a telephone call received by a web company by a very pissed off internet user.

If you've ever worked with customers you'll appreciate this. The degree to which the guy loses it is great.

12:45 am - I've been reading too much BOFH

From a chat with a client of mine:
[12:28] David: hey man, i need u to save me
[12:28] Erik: What now?
[12:28] David: well
[12:28] David: my email
[12:28] David: or whatever
[12:28] David: cant write to the temp dir
[12:28] David: so its freaking out
[12:29] David: and my perl scripts wont run
[12:29] David: not sure whats going on
[12:29] David: Warning: open(/tmp/sess_52327b30f1b9d7dd1b50812878ba46ac, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /home/var/www/squirrelmail/src/redirect.php on line 26
[12:29] David: corse im just tellin u
[12:29] David: cause it looks like some permissions are messed up or something
[12:34] Erik: Interference from solar flares must have flipped bits on your permissions registry again. I'll degauss the mainframe when I have a chance. In the meantime, just wrap any important disks or hardware devices in aluminum foil to prevent ionized data from being uploaded to the server.
[12:35] David: Gotcha.
[12:48] David: OK Im safe.
In the flesh, at the keyboard, and reading your email!

10:30 pm - What the fuck?!?
|
I was out walking the dog, and I heard a bunch of screaming and shouting from the bottom of the hill, only to see 30 totally naked guys turn the corner and start running right at me! They were sprinting while holding their balls and yelling "FUCK! HOLY FUCK! FUCK!!". A red honda civic was chasing them; Flooring it, slamming the breaks, reversing, and doing it again. They sprinted past me, up the street, and into the field.
What the fuck.
All I've got to say is that the whole thing was a real flop. :P
Jesus, I miss when this place was a secluded community, before suburbia grew up around it.

9:18 pm - A prank I pulled today! Woohoo!
|
My friend Bryan was in town today, so I went to meet him at a restaurant in a part of town I'd never been to. I took a wrong exit, and ended up on this dreaded stretch of freeway (I5-N) with no exits for miles and miles, before I was able to turn around and find my way back.
Long story short, I made it to the restaurant just as Bryan was leaving ( he had to meet with someone else back home ), so we talked in the parking lot for about 15 minutes before he left.
About three hours after Bryan headed home, I had my mom call and say "Hello Bryan, this is Erik's mom. Were you going to hook up with Erik in Washington? Erik just called me from Seattle."
I was listening in, and Bryan said "What!? Seattle!? What's he doing there?" and started laughing.
"Yeah, he said he was calling from a pay phone in Seattle"
"Uh, did Erik know he was going to Seattle?"
It was so fucking funny, my mom was totally convincing. Bryan was being rather diplomatic on the phone, explaining how I arrived late at the restaurant, when I interrupted to say "Bryan! Do you really think my sense of direction is *that* bad?"
All he said was "Ah man, I was about to loose all respect for you as a human being!"
Truly classic.
