The other alternative is taking them literally together like this:

We might need to call this union holiday Confused-About-What-I’m-Doing-Day or You’re-Doing-It-Wrong-Day.

Second best idea they ever had.

Let’s talk about some of these things.

• Clips used in the trailer are from other trailer (TMNT , Watchmen, maybe others).
• The voice over in the trailer doesn’t sound like it’s from a good studio. Maybe someone’s basement?
• The domain name is registered by Domains By Proxy, Universal doesn’t do that.
• The movie is supposed to come out in one (1) month and we haven’t heard anything about it.
• IMDB is unaware of the existence of any Battletoads movie, and IMDB is god.
• How the hell is L. Ron Hubbard supposed to produce this movie?
• Will Smith and Sammy L. J. I get, where did Eddie Murphy come from?
• Longcat Pictures and Wirah Productions don’t even exist. I bet Wirah is the handle of whoever made this.

However, it has one redeeming factor. It’s on the intertubes, thus it has to be true. I’m pumped.

Turns out the woman is good for something, pointing me here.

This is stupid.

A pint of Guinness Drought (the more caloric one) has 210 calories. That’s .370 calories per gram.

A bottle of Michelob Ultra has 73 calories. That’s .265 calories per gram.

A slice of Wonder Bread contains 79 calories. That’s 2.565 calories per gram.

So beer might very well be runny bread but it’s diet runny bread. Bitches.

P.S. – Sorry for the boring post. The video is good though.

Economists can study pirates though. Peter T. Leson from George Mason University has published two papers and is working on a third legitimately studying pirates from an Austrian Economists perspective. (Actually read this link on Austrian Economists if you want a more concise explanation.)

An-arrgh-chy: The Law and Economics of Pirate Organization (which I haven’t had a chance to read yet)

Pirational Choice: The Economics of Infamous Pirate Practices. (which I am in the process of reading and which is very good)

and the work in progress:
The Invisible Hook: The Hidden Economics of Pirates, History’s Most Notorious Criminals – Abstract (this abstract makes this paper look to be the best of the three…and it’s short for your poor attention spans)

And before you say it’s apples to oranges, that’s your work connection, this is mine

a) it’s been out for so long games are cheap
b) it has a real gamepad which I prefer to the wiimote
c) theoretically I’ll be able to get free demos and games and stuff from the live thinga

I say theoretically because I have to get it on the tubes first. My wireless router is downstairs so I either have to a) shell out $100 for the xbox wireless, b) finagle a wire up there somehow or c) rig up some other wireless setup. Last night I played with the connection sharing in leopard and all it did was make my internet not work at all. I’m pondering putting my router in the living room and putting a wireless card in a pc in the basement.

The wii came with wireless. That’s one thing in its favor. That and Zack and Wiki. I mean, you shake your friggin monkey to beat monsters. And you are a pirate.

A monkey shaking pirate!

This was not one of those articles. I read (and when I say read in the context of RSS I mean don’t mean in the reading-a-George-R-R-Martin-book type of read so much as the glancing-through-news-stories type of read) Sage’s post and just assumed it was from Mental Floss where it would have totally fit in.

I was then about to copy the URL to post a link on Abodes to the article when I realized that was totally unnecessary.

Then I laughed.

Fin.

Apparently some people are worried about the zombies coming to attack. This Jock Strap guy or maybe strippers could end up as zombies.

I found this while reading the Open Letter To Kansas School Board from the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Truly a thinking man’s religion.

From one of the Kansas School Board member responses:

Thank you for adding levity to this situation. You have developed quite a following. I was wondering if we could reverse the effects of global warming if we started breeding pirates.

(Edit: Removed non-funny bit)

Why were there NERF guns on campus anyway? Well it turns out that humans on BGSU’s campus were using these NERF guns to protect themselves from zombies. I applaud the humans at BGSU for their attempt and have to wonder if the administration there may already be xombiefied.

Maybe this banning of NERF weapons provides the BGSU humans the opportunity to get real zombie defense kits. I personally recommend the following equipment:

1. Fire Axe (any brand)
2. 1911 .45 ACP pistol (choose a reliable brand)
3. Benelli Tactical Shotgun (collapsible to conserve space)
4. Body Armor (look for something resistant to slashing and bludgeoning)
5. Helmet (braiiinnnsssss)

Some optional but handy items you might also want.

6. Incendiary Grenades (burning is very effective versus most undead)
7. Flamethrower (see above)
8. Barrel of Kittens (too many brains can distract zombies and temporarily stun them)
9. Holy Water (generally considered effective against undead. Also you can give yourself last rites)
10. Mark III Suit (this is pretty much zombie immunity all in one. and badass looking)

Some additional pieces of advice:

• Don’t mess about with knives vs. zombies. Stabbing doesn’t work. They need to be chopped up into tiny pieces or you are still in trouble.
• Stick to explosive or incendiary bullets if possible. Again the explosion thing.
• Don’t waste your time using a riot shield like the one kit I linked to. It just gives the zombies something else to grab a hold of and won’t stop them anyway.
• Unlike normal video game combat rules, don’t aim for the zombie’s head. There isn’t anything useful there. Aim for center of mass. Hope for a knock down or dismemberment.
• If you are a descendant of Abraham Van Helsing a zombie attack would be a really good time to wake up Alucard.
• Zombies hate garlic. It won’t stop them from eating your brain, but at least they won’t enjoy it as much.

I really don’t think the BGSU humans are going to follow my advice though. According to the article:

The human’s main form of defense used to come in the form of Nerf guns, but is now being downgraded to balled up socks and marshmallows.

That’s doing it wrong.

The best ones:

That last one made me think of the TARPS service in Toledo, OH. TARPS just sounds like a pejorative term for handicapped people.
