A spy game!

SAVE ME
This may look like an innocent picture of an innocent Newfoundland brook on an innocent day... BUT IT ISN'T!!!! It hides SECRETS! Are they evil or good? There's only one way to find out!!! And since I basically gave all you kids the means to get to the secret, I used a passphrase. A passphrase so obvious that it would be impossible to guess!

EDIT - holy fricken crap! It is impossible to find a free file hosting service that doesn't alter your images! This is the only one I could find that only changed the name but still worked, even if I can't post it directly anymore, so it's less fun. But I spent quite literally hours on this post so it's staying and by god you'll all have fun!

Chris Benoit and family found dead

Authorities believe wrestler Benoit killed wife, son then himself

Authorities believe a professional wrestler, his wife and son ‑ found dead in their central Fayette County home Monday afternoon ‑ died in a murder-suicide.

District Attorney Scott Ballard said Monday night that he felt confident that Chris Benoit killed his wife Nancy, their 7-year-old son and then himself.

Ballard declined to release the cause of death, but said that earlier news reports that the Benoits died of gunshots were false. The crime lab is in the process of confirming the cause of death, but Ballard said there was enough evidence on scene to make him confident that the Benoits were not killed by another person.

Ballard said sheriff's deputies were called to the Benoit home around 2:30 p.m. after another wrestler called the sheriff's department asking them to check on the family because Benoit had failed to show up for an event in another state. When deputies got to the Benoit home off Quarters Road, they smelled the odor of decaying bodies, Ballard said.

The family's bodies were found inside the home, Ballard confirmed.

"Every indication is that this is a murder-suicide," Ballard said, adding that additional investigation still has to take place before a final determination can be made.

Ballard said when he heard that a young child was killed, it "just tore my guts out."

Benoit made his WWE debut in January 2000, following a stint in ECW and WCW and he was at one time world heavyweight champion, world tag team champion and intercontinental champion.

What's this? Aerosmith performing their classic hit Dream On?




Why this must be from some parallel universe where Danielle is always wrong

Manhunt 2

So, does anyone out there remember Manhunt? The most violent thing to show up on the PS2? You play a serial killer going out and stalking and brutally (and quite graphically) slaughtering your victims. Well the new one is coming out on the Wii. Complete with murder simulating motion controls! I don't think I want to play it but I need to try it just to see what it's like. I mean, it's supposed to be like Splinter Cell except you're supposed to kill everybody

More LOLBOT action





My god, I really hope the future is a Valiant comic...

MY MATRIX. LET ME SHOW YOU




Yeah, when it was just cats it was a meme I could pass by, but once robots got involved you knew I'd take notice

Everyone should have a Transistor Sound and Lighting Co.

So, today was god damned gorgeous here. Mid-twenties weather, bright sunny sky and nobody on my favorite bench in the park in front of the little waterfall. So I sat down with a peanut butter kit kat, a bottle of grape flavoured water and read while listening to Transistor. Those who know the band know that this is my band. They came out with a CD, kind of fell apart with no body else even hearing of them. It really feels like it made just for me, and I love that just as much as I love the music. It's my personal sound track whenever I listen to it. And while it's a Wednesday which normally mean I'd be reading about Yorrick, Megan and Tim but I've found that Andy, Dag and Claire work just as well

We go straight when there's nothing in the way

So me and Danielle checked out the park here today. There's a swans and waterfalls and all kinds of awesome! There's even a tunnel under the highway with (get this) Christian Graffiti! Someone spray painted a psalm in there which is exactly what Jesus would do.

I've got a bunch of the new job under my belt and it's decent. I'm finally gonna get paid on thursday so I might buy some cool stuff

Jareth comes to town

So birthdays are fun. They are funner when referred to as b-days cause it's hip to say it that way. And to be square. But the hippest thing is getting presents and I did that. My new boss gave me 6 beer from the store so this is now a cool place to work.
And I got some Ex Machina and other books from my parents. AND I got Super Paper Mario on the Wii and it is all kinds of platforming goodness so far.

And my brother got me David Bowie's donkey balls! Well, he got me a Jareth the Goblin King figure from Labyrinth which is really the same thing

Working Stiff

So, I got a job. Turns out the Ultramar here was hiring, and I've done that before and when I went down the guy was all like, "I'd have to be an idiot not to hire you, can you start tonight?" So I did, and now I've got a week under my belt. It's fairly easy and unless you commit fraud you're probably not gonna get fired. Oh, guess what two of my former co-workers did!?! Yup, good old fraud... I guess stealing credit cards is tougher than the tv news says it is. So we have 5 people working at the store now and 1 of them is SOOOO dumb. Like, really dumb. When adding up the till on a calculator and he gets the number 12.8 he doesn't get that that is twelve dollars and eighty cents. He thinks it's twelve dollars and eight cents. And he's been told the difference a few times already.
But on the plus side it means I'm worshiped as a god there now

HTML blues

Man, it took like 10 minutes for me to find out the back ground colour of my blog so I could make the text the same... Templates are not easy to sift through

My Spidey Sense is tingling

So me and Dan went to see Spider-man 3 today. It was the combination of horrible theater experience and a horrible movie.
Seriously, I think that this is the first movie ever shown at this theater cause they had no idea what was going on. We got there a little late and the previews were playing, but this is the first time I've seen that meant the theatre was pitch dark. We had to wait for flashes of lightening in the Harry Potter preview just to see where seats were let alone if they were empty. Then when we found seats the floor was covered in popcorn. I really do mean covered, there was 2 full bags in our row thrown all over, they didn't clean the place between showings. Then people who have never been in public before sat in front of us, talking all the way through and sitting straight up with their giant fros. Who sits straight up in a movie theater? YOU SLOUCH! It's common courtesy! And one of them left to purchase concessions, came back 15 minutes later and needed to be caught up on everything. Loudly. Boo! And then with 5 minutes left in the movie, they brought the house lights up! What the fricken heck? You do that in the credits, not the movie! GRRR.

And then there's the movie. I'm gone blank the text out in case anybody reads this but hasn't seen it yet, but otherwise just highlight it to read.

WHY WHY WHY??? Why did this have to be such a bad cheesy movie? Remember Superman 3? Yes it's Richard Pryor cheesy. Chester Cheetah chessy. It's... it's just really cheesy ok. That stupid Saturday Night Fever getting sequence, the Jazz bar crap, even JJ was painful in this one.
And the fight scenes were just plain lazy. "hmm, we could take the time to make this look really good and convincing, but that would cost a lot of money, just make it go really really fast so people can't tell the difference." If you can tell me what happened during the open Goblin fight then you deserve a medal.
And Harry's butler, where'd they drag this guy from? I've seen some bad acting in my day, but I think they pulled this guy of a used car lot commercial. And none of that scene made any sense! Hey Harry, I know that you and your dad were the Green Goblin, and I totally saw him when he died and his wounds came from his glider, which totally means that he killed himself by accident... and I'm just telling you this now cause it's convenient for the plot, so don't think about how stupid this is, especially sine you get killed by your glider later in the script yet it clearly isn't by your own hand. And what was up with that? He can control his glider with precision accuracy and remote control in the first fight but he can't in the last fight so he jumps in front of it? And not jump in front of it and catch it or knock in out of the way, but he lets it stab him? Bah?
Now there were some good parts, I mean the Sandman was great. That Wings guy got buff, and he did a great job here. So did ChrisTofer Grace as Eddie Brock. Too bad they killed him off before he did anything cool at all. And really they just crammed too much stuff into this movie without caring about making a good film.


So, I recommend waiting for rental, or stealing it from the interweb. Don't pay $10 for it, or $8.25 like I did to see it in a really crappy theater

Newfie Weather

I can not believe that we are still getting snow here. This is just plain gross

Origins

Glee! Neil deGrasse Tyson was on the Colbert Report today! This guy is great! He was on talking about the new planet, Gliese 581C, but it turns out that beyond just the origins special on PBS he's got a new NOVA show coming out. So now I need to learn which channel is PBS. I guess I just flip til I see sesame street right?
