OMG #9

Okay. TOTALLY bugging me.
The new Volkswagen commercials with people hitting everyone all over the place.
"Black one." PUNCH
"Blue one." PUNCH

You are destroying my childhood for a new model that has nothing to do with this game.
It's called PUNCH BUG RED or PUNCH BUG BLUE...

Sheesh.
(Do I have too much time on my hands?)

OMG #8

Umm. Yeah. Noah can suck it. And Utnapishtim. AND Deucalion!
Well, you get the picture.

Thankfully, BW HQ escaped unscathed. Well, we did have 2 inches of water in the basement but that went away so it doesn't count.

It really was utter destruction. And it's going to take FOREVER to clean up.
Some people got hit in every way imaginable. Reminds you what tragedy can be.

But we will prevail and continue to post asinine, trivial nonsense on the Internets!

Give to Hands On Nashville or any other googled charity group around here if you so feel the urge. An initial estimate puts rebuilding at near 1 Billion (yes, Dr. Evil, I said Billion, with a "B").

Stay tuned for a Mountain Dew Product Review!!!*
*really does seem pointless after all this...

April 2010 Poll - Why so serious?

My sister-in-law's husband competed in a homemade ice cream contest a while ago and made a flavor called "Why So Strawberry?" Pure. Genius.

The winner of last month's poll for best Batman villain is obviously The Joker. Probably due to Heath Ledger's (RIP) amazing portrayal in the latest Bat-movie. Anyway, BW voted for Mr. Freeze in SPITE of Ahnold's portrayal of him solely due to the handling of Victor in The Animated Series (and the adjunct movie).

Anyway, have a good laugh on us, Mr. J. This town, indeed, needs an enema. And we got one, too! Thanks 13 inches of rain in like 4 minutes!

March 2010 Poll - I'm Late! I'm LATE!

Few days late on the poll numbers BUT...
The winner of your favourite Alice in Wonderland character (technically, I suppose, Through the Looking Glass) is the White Rabbit! This was BW's fave as well, probably because of its Disney depiction bringing back good memories or gas or something...
Nice job, dude. Hurry up. You are late. Grace Slick is going to be pissed!

OMG #6

Call it a case of HD snobbery.
I have noticed over the past year that text has increasingly become smaller and smaller on TV shows and even video games (Alas, the zombies-at-the-mall game Dead Rising on our old TV was frustratingly unreadable and hence unplayable).

I suppose the thinking is that most people have HD TVs now so we can make script smaller and smaller cuz pixel size doesn't necessarily matter on HD. Not to mention if this trend continues people are going to go blind watching HD cuz they don't realize their eyes are really straining to see such small text.

And so it goes with this year's NCAA basketball tourney. The scores at the top of the screen from other games are so small they are unreadable. Is that 67-60? Or 67-58? Or 57-60? OR 57-58? ARRGHHH!!!

Another thing is to blame here as well. I am pretty into fonts. Not enough to be persuaded to buy font packages online mind you, but still pretty into them. And choice of font is where most sports channels fail miserably. Pick a font where the 5, 6, 8, 9, and 0 are easily determined and distinct from one another. Otherwise, it just drives your audience crazy. Drives ME crazy.

Thank you.

PS Now that Northern Iowa has effectively destroyed half of America's brackets by beating Kansas, good luck everyone!!!
