The inner chaos of a web guy's mind.
Great new words – Websters needs to update.
Jul 4th
The Washington Post’s Mensa Invitational once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.
Here are this year’s winners. Read them carefully. Each is an artificial word with only one letter altered to form a real word. Some are terrifically innovative:
- Intaxication : Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
- Reintarnation : Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
- Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.
- Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.
- Giraffiti : Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.
- Sarchasm : The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn’t get it.
- Inoculatte : To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
- Hipatitis : Terminal coolness.
- strong>Osteopornosis : A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)
- Karmageddon : It’s like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it’s, like, a serious bummer.
- Decafalon (n.): The gruelling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.
- Glibido: All talk and no action.
- Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
- Arachnoleptic fit(n.): The frantic dance performed just after you’ve accidentally walked through a spider web.
- Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.
- Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you’re eating.
And
The #1 pick:
17. Ignoranus : A person who’s both stupid and an asshole.
Internet slow & problems
Jun 20th
Is it just me or are ISP’s slowing down our connections. I have noticed that both at the office and at home that regular surfing has had a noticeable slowdown. We all know that some providers such as Bell are throttling the connections on certain ports to limit the amount of downloading of “pirated” content its users can make.
Here is a conspiracy theory for you. Just totally random and off the top of my head but what if the ISP’s are slowing our connections down so that we will upgrade to the faster accounts and spend more money. Or maybe they are monitoring all traffic and it is causing a bottle neck of packets and slowing down the connections of its users.
I love a good conspiracy. The real reason for the post is to ask if anyone else is noticing a slow down in regular surfing lately or am I just loosing my mind more rapidly than normal?
Well thats it for today, I look forward to hearing some responses on the topic.
American soldier corruption
Jun 11th
Watching FOX13 news tonight I witnessed the most disturbing thing that I have ever seen on television ever!. Two morally corrupt american soldiers (yes I did not capitalize american as I don’t believe that it deserves it) through a puppy of a cliff in Iraq. WTF!
First of all what the hell are you arrogant pieces of filth thinking when you perform such a disgusting act? You pathetic pussies have nothing better to do than murder and innocent little puppy. Someone should through you off a cliff and laugh at you while your bones break and skin splits while you careen down the cliff side. You are not worthy of living never mind so called protecting your country. The US military gives you a non disclosed disciplinary action, they are as useless as the soldiers they employ. No wonder this behavior seems acceptable to you. You should have been court marshaled, removed from service and sent directly back to the US to face charges of animal cruelty. (Personally I would just throw you pathetic wast of skin to a pack of wild dogs and nature take care of you!)
Second why the hell would FOX13 air the entire video showing the dog get thrown and landing on the rocks below. You are as disgusting as the soldiers themselves. I have have lost all respect for this news cast. I hope the animal rights activists are all over you people. I will not post a like to the news cast as I don’t want anyone to have to witness this video. This is one of those things that will forever be burned into my memory as horrible and disturbing.
With all the controversy around the war in Iraq, it’s incidents like this that makes the rest of the world ask “What are you really doing in that country?”. If I would not be proud to be an american after watching that on the news tonight. Thank god I am not american.
Ironic it is that I actually don’t watch the news, the show that I was watching ended while I was working on a design project and the news came on. Deep into design I did not even notice that the news was playing until I looked up just as this filth was on the screen. Tonight has even more deeply ingrained the reasons why I can’t stand to watch the news, especially american news.
Well that is enough about this, if you feel that same way that I do about this atrocity PLEASE click the bookmark links and add this post to your Facebook, Digg or any other Social networking site that you are part of.
