Nightmare 2008

Here is remake of nightmare :-)

Gorby

Remember a little while back when, like Prince, I announced that I was changing my name to &?  Of course it turned out to be a complete fiasco when people had no idea how to greet me!  Well, while I was reading the comments over at YouTube, ScoutPL asked me if my dog’s name was Gorby….. and that got me to thinking. I like the name Gorby better then Kobe!

I never really had an affinity towards Kobe Bryant nor am I really a fan of kobe beef, but Gorbachev is a very famous Russian who did some amazing things for Russia.  Therefore, I think the name Gorby has more meaning to me than Kobe… plus EVERY OTHER dog I run into is named Kobe!!!

So, as of today, Kobe will now be known as Gorby!  He likes it, as he comes running to me when I call it out.  I like it!  What do you think?  Take the little poll below to let me know.

Zombie

By popular demand… ZOMBIE!!  As James said, it IS related to the fetish video :-)

Oh.. and here is a cartoon I found on why Paris Hilton is immune to Zombies :-)

Top 10 Word Myths – Ask Men Article


I did an article for the website AskMen.com on the top ten word origin myths. Check it out :-)

Link to specific spot in a YouTube video!

YouTube just added a really cool feature that I think many of you will find useful.  That is the ability to link directly to a specific point within a video hosted on YouTube.

You do it by appending the following code at the end of the YouTube video URL: “#t=02m20s”

So, a url would look like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fZ5bYfErdk#t=02m20s to go to the spot at 2 minutes and 20 seconds in.

It’s important that you use two digit numbers, ie: 02 for 2, otherwise it will not work.

You guys and gals often link to YouTube videos in the comments section to make a point.. and this way you can be even more specific if there is a spot in the video that really makes your point :-)

So, give it a try.. I’m curious to see what you come up with :-)
