| For some reason, these make me laugh.
1. An old man or old lady smoking a cigar. I don't know why it does that to me, but give me someone with gray hair lighting up a cigar and suddenly, I'll start laughing.
2. Writing swear words in large capital letters on a sheet of paper. Something about it being taboo.
3. Reading a porno novel. Big one here, especially with someone who enunciates it and/or has a British accent.
4. Any form of alcohol in large quantities. Kegs of beer, liters of vodka, fifths of Jack, you name it.
5. Discussing the etymology of a swear word. Goes along with #2.
6. Southern accented guys. Don't know why, but the twang just makes me laugh.
7. Women whose bodies move in unusual ways. Not limited to the "obvious" parts either
8. Blowing cigarette smoke out your nose. Eat-N-Park, 1996. Couldn't stop laughing.
9. Singing Louie Armstrong in a way that would offend most people of his ethnicity. You be the judge on that one.
10. British-twang euphemisms for body parts. Utterly insane.

| I found this comic online from a website that talks about copyright constantly. This link is from Duke's Law School and is entitled Tales From the Public Domain: Bound By Law? It's really interesting if you consider yourself to be a filmmaker or producer or have an incomplete or incorrect view about copyright (especially if you live in fear of lawsuits from filesharing or such). Here's the link:

Do read this - it's very insightful and tells about a lot of things the mainstream media doesn't (mostly because their bosses own the copyrights of EVERYTHING.) Let me know what you think.

| Kind of a laughable thing. I was with my buddy Jim at the Burger King in State College late on a Wednesday night, and suddenly found Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" play on the radio. I had my camera, for once, and decided that it would be fun to show you how stupid and utterly brainless I am.
I also thought that it was quite pointless to upload it to Xanga when it's been on YouTube for, eh....a couple of hours, give or take. Link's here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq8-v9NNy9Y
I like comments :)

| Stolen from a Browns' fan site. :) Corrected for accuracy.
1. In a school just outside Philadelphia, a first grade teacher explained to her class that she is a Flyers Fan. She asked her students to raise their hands if they are Flyers fans too. Not really knowing what a Flyers fan is, but wanting to be liked by their teacher, their hands all fly into the air with one exception. A little boy named Timmy has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks him why he has decided to be different. "Because I am not a Flyers fan." says Timmy. The teacher asks "Then what are you?" Timmy says "I am a proud Pittsburgh Penguins fan!" The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Timmy why he is a Pens fan. "Well, my Mom and Dad are Pens fans so I'm a Pens fan, too." Timmy responds. The teacher is now angry. "That's no reason," she says loudly. "What if your Mom was a moron and your dad was an idiot? Timmy smiled and said, "Then I'd be a Flyers fan."
3. A Browns fan, a Steelers fan and a Titans fan were all in Saudi Arabia, sharing a smuggled crate of booze. All of a sudden the Saudi police rushed in and arrested them. The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offense in Saudi Arabia, so for the terrible crime of actually being caught consuming the booze, they were sentenced to death! However, with the help of very good lawyers, they were able to successfully appeal their sentence down to life imprisonment. By a stroke of luck, it was a Saudi national holiday the day their trial finished, and the extremely benevolent Sheik decided they could be released after receiving just 20 lashes each of the whip. As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheik suddenly said, "It's my first wife's birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each of you one wish before your whipping." The Titans fan was first in line (he had drunk the least), so he thought about this for a while and then said, "Please tie a pillow to my back." This was done, but the pillow only lasted 10 lashes before the whip went through. The Titans fan had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain when the punishment was done. The Browns fan was next up (he almost finished an entire fifth by himself), and after watching the scene, said "All Right! Please fix two pillows on my back." But even two pillows could only take 15 lashes before the whip went through again, sending the Browns fan out crying like a little girl. The Steelers fan was the last one up (he had finished off the crate), but before he could say anything, the Sheik turned to him and said, "You support the greatest team in the world, your team has some of the best and most loyal football fans in the world. For this, you may have two wishes!" "Thanks, your most Royal highness," the Steelers fan replies. "In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not 20, but 100 lashes." "Not only are you an honorable, handsome and powerful man, you are also very brave," the Sheik says with an admiring look on his face. "If 100 lashes is what you desire, then so be it. And your second wish? What is it to be?" the Sheik asks. "Tie the Browns fan to my back."
DAMN RIGHT!

| I've been realizing something about me that's been probably bothering a lot of you who speak to me, and it's something which I need to realize, so here it is.
Anyways, I am wondering if the fact that I have an unpredictable personality is the reason why a lot of people don't necessarily like me. I have been getting in a lot of fights, especially in the Meteorology Dept., and it seems like they just pop up and go against everyone's beliefs. I know a lot of people think that I hate everyone and that an affiliation with me isn't worth it because, well, my inappropriateness at times doesn't look "chic" to you.
If this is something which is a reason, be it primarily or peripheral, to try and avoid me, kindly ignore it. A lot of it has to do with the fact that I'm not exactly in the right state of mind at times, and it's something where it's not my fault - it's just something about me. Most of the time, I don't talk to anyone, mostly because I think that most of everyone just doesn't want to associate with me. I'm not the type to start conversations, especially when pretty much everyone makes you feel like they won't want to talk to me regardless, so if you want to talk, let me know.
I also realize, in some sense, that part of it is the fact that college groups, classes, and the such are natively "fend for yourself" groups. I know you could care less if I just "disappeared", and I know that going places with me is something that you folks, in the translucent ego, could not bear to do. But you must also realize that there's a good possibility I can get you places and advantages over your friends, just by talking to me. Not to boast, but I have been told by many that I am the biggest untapped resource for knowledge in the Walker Building.
So, if you can't stand me, it's your loss. But you can also remember that sometimes, I get frustrated by the fact I do everything alone, and that the high school drama that goes about the Weather Station, et al. is something where it has already been devastating to my life. You may not like my attitude sometimes, but you do have to remember two things: Sometimes I don't realize how "odd" I may be, and no matter how much you farce it, you're not perfect either. :D
