The $100,000 Pyramid

First, Pork and Pasta is good. I enjoyed that. Craig also offered me a sample of his nuts, which also happen to be quite good. I’d never tried pistachios until he offered them recently, and I must say I like them.
While eating we had the Game Show Network on and they aired The $100,000 Pyramid. I remember going to California with my family when I was pretty young and being told we could try to get into any show my sister and I wanted. We picked The Price is Right, along with half the other people in “Studio City, California.” So we ended up going to The $100,000 Pyramid instead where they taped the weeks five episodes back to back. We made it through three before heading off to the airport. It was ok, but it was no The Price is Right. I believe this cruel twist of fate is partially the reason why, to this date, I have never had a pet spayed or neutered.
Cheers!

Progress

Many years ago the Pentagon creates the Internet as a means of war time communications.
And right now Pat and Craig are using it to show each other items from their room, their nipples, and other assorted items.
Pat: “What is THAT?!”
Craig: “That’s my TEAT!”
Thank God for technology.
Cheers!

Just For Craig (and Pat)

I’m on my way to Craig’s house to watch Daredevil (three days before YOU get to rent it) and eat something he calls “Pork and Pasta”. And he said I could hold his baby. Most people close to me won’t let me hold the half-decent china, let alone a real human, so this is quite the vote of confidence. I’ll be posting from his place for a bit so don’t expect anything TOO fun – no surfin’ time.
As reward for his kind generosity in forcing his wife to cook more food than she has to AND risking life and limb of little Samantha, I offer this dancing beer:

Close enough?

BANZAI!

Good news for Canadians – the ORIGINAL Banzai begins airing again on City TV starting tonight at 11:30PM EST. Those of us who were fans prior to Fox’s recent pick-up will remember that things weren’t all rainbows and lollipops as they are now. I almost specifically remember Rob messaging me with something like “OMFG! THEY SHOWED A PENIS ON 57!”, which in fact, they had. Looks like they’re going full out tonight – check out the preview:
“More than just a game show, Banzai challenges the viewer with a series of practical jokes, gags, stunts and encourages the audience to place their bets on the final outcome. How long will Mr. Shake Hands Man 2 shake the hand of a celebrity? Which sexy nurse will strip naked first? Which seated woman is not wearing any underwear?”
Cheers!

Robots Ate My Sister

Alex has made yet another post in regards to the eventual destruction of Earth at the hands of robots. If I didn’t know him better I’d think he was crazy.. well, wait a minute..
Anyways, I digress, he has made a post titled “A.I.: Robotic Nation Cometh…” where he directly refers a chat we’ve had in the past during his passionate AI Yahoo Messenger discussions with me when he says “some of us will respond with, “Who cares, I won’t be around.” And this is the great flaw of the human species. We re-act, rather than pro-act. And deep inside, we are selfish. While some of us (futurists) are able to forecast and be concerned about such matters (I am one of them), few of us act on these suggestions.”.
Which makes me wonder how many of you side with Alex in believing that, in fact, Maximum Overdrive was a documentary? That toasters will toast US, and our televisions will watch US? Further to that, how many are like me in thinking that even if, by some odd lack of foresight at some point, machines DID manage to take over the world, that we’ll be long dead and really shouldn’t waste our Earthly brain cycles worrying about it?
Cheers!
