"I object to being called a chess genius, because I consider myself to be an all-around genius who just happens to play chess."

One of the greatest chess players of all time was also a paranoid freaking nutcase.

Mortal Kombat fatalities. 2:46 is my favorite. Needless to say, people who don't like violence should not watch this video.

QFT is internet slang for "quoted for truth." I thought it meant "quit fucking trying."

"Euchre was a cool game, even my favorite card game. As near as I can tell Euchre had one fault: it just wasn't gay enough.

Milking has changed that."

Milking in euchre is not as widespread as I thought. Check out my crusade to get this awesome shot by Mandy onto BoardGameGeek:

"I wanted to be the car because I could make car noises by vibrating my lips -- brrrrmmmmm! -- and drive the car around on the floor to amuse myself while waiting my turn, which is mainly what you do in Monopoly, which I always considered to be one of the most boring activities on the planet."

If you had left Columbus, in a car, at around the same time my parents dropped me off at the airport, and driven to Madison, you would have beaten me home by two hours.

Airports: I take off my shoes for you and don't complain when you confiscate my cologne, so why can't you make three out of four of my god damn planes leave on fucking time?

There is a penalty tax for being married.

The phrase "it's all Greek to me" exists in French, but Chinese is used instead of Greek.

We have two days to complete five ActiveX exercises. Several people were done before lunch, on the first day. I wish I were smart like that.

8-14-07

Hamster cuteness.

The phrase "ActiveX" has no underlying technical meaning. It's just a marketing word invented by Microsoft to brand their product. I always thought the "X" stood for something mysterious.

Angelina Jolie is the daughter of Jon Voight.

I finished Paper Mario 64 today. Not a bad role playing game overall, but the quality trails off considerably by the end.

8-10-07

I have thumb cancer.

Maybe not, but my left thumb has been perpetually chapped for the last few weeks.

Visual Basic is a little clunky, but it's not that bad.

"Abortion: a baby can live without it."

Also on a billboard:

"Taco Bell: tastier tacos are nacho far away."

The Cleveland Indians have a shortstop named Jhonny Peralta. Not a typo.

Sorry for the late updates. Dave and I spent the weekend in Minnesota hanging out with his family.

The bonus stage in Super Smash Brothers sucks.

I learned a fun puzzle.

Find a five letter word that meets the following criteria:

1) If you remove the second letter of the word, the resulting four letter word has the same pronunciation.

2) If you remove the first letter of the word, the resulting four letter word also has the same pronunciation, AND it's not the same as the four letter word you got from removing the second letter. (In other words, "llama" is not correct.)

All three words are common, Scrabble-acceptable English words.
