I don’t understand what people are missing about this commercial.
Maybe it’s too subtle.
Bill Gates is Microsoft. According to Jerry, Bill Gates is a 10. Therefor, Microsoft is a 10!
Jerry Seinfeld’s humor usually centers around a single concept that he pushes to absolutes. The rest of the commercial builds and sets up this concept.
Watch it again now that you know.
I’ve been seeing trailers for this movie all over the place recently.
I had never seen it.
So, on a whim, I rented it. (I know. I know. Watching a chick flick by myself. How much of a loser am I?)
I have to say, seeing Jack Black in a more (but not too) serious role was interesting. He did the part well.
And over all, not an entirely bad film (for a chick flick).
Now I’m going to go hang my head in shame.
That’s right. Officially today, I am a PADI Divemaster.
My only goal is to get you to have as many ascents as descents.
And maybe have a few good times in between the descents and ascents.
And then there’s the whole “Diving Safe” thing while having a few good times in between the descents and ascents.
I will try my best to make them all happen.
This site feels old to me.
Every time I’ve looked at it for the past few months, I’ve wanted to update the look (and maybe the CMS too… haven’t decided yet). Just haven’t made time.
Expect it to change some time in the next while.
I tried to email you, but your email bounced back. This leads me to believe that you aren’t truly serious in your email.
It doesn’t matter anyway because I’m not selling my domain (at least not for anything less than $20,000USD. Make it $20,005 and I’ll add my mum). I love Rogue Monk and I can’t imagine it being anything other than my personal soap box.
I hope you find another domain that suits your needs.
For more than two years, I’ve worked for Langley Diving.
Just yesterday, I noticed that the soap dispenser in the washroom is called “Alibi”.
Ignoring my obvious inattentiveness, this is one of the best names for soap I can think of.
(with a european accent…)
“Alibi. Wash those bloody hands clean.”
“Alibi. As sweet smelling as the lies you’ll tell.”
“Alibi. For a truly guilt-free clean.”
I used to wonder how those kids in Korea could walk into a cyber-cafe, play a video game for 36 hours and then drop dead due to lack food and water.
I used to wonder because last night I spent the better part of 8 hours writing some code that I only moderately understand.
Unlike them, I did occasionally get up to get a drink and use the washroom, but before I knew it, it was 5 AM.
And a few short hours later, here I am at work.
I was walking home after work—as I’m often prone to doing—and I see this newer model Ford Mustang round the corner just as I get to it.
The driver was a nun!
Seriously! She had the outfit and everything.
Nice vow of poverty.
If a “bride of Christ” has better transportation than I do, I really need to up my standard of living.
At least, I had the good sense to buy a new pair of shoes recently.
I drive a big white box van for work.
Even though it isn’t “cool looking”, it gets the job done.
It would get the job done faster if people driving in front of me would at least go the speed limit.
For the longest time I wondered why. Now, I think it has to do with the general shape of the van.
People think I’m the police.
Either that or they like being tale-gated.
Bloody humans.
Today, I thought I’d put away my space heater.
I live in a basement suite and during the summer, it’s a comfortable cool temperature, but during the winter it can be dreadfully chilly even with the furnace going full out (remember… heat rises and most of the heat will blast into the upstairs suite).
So I have a space heater that I bought a couple years ago.
Except, when I went to unplug it and noticed melted plastic from the plug stuck around the outlet.
“Not good” you say?
I did the only logical thing I could think of.
I plugged it right back into that outlet and let it run!
Actually, I cut the cord and set it by the door so I could drop it in the trash in the morning. I checked the plug to make sure it wasn’t a fire hazard. I’ll avoid using it and replace it later.
Check your plugs people. It would be a bad deal to burn down your house because of this.
