Sheer Marketing Genius

The only can of Mountain Dew soda I saw in South Korea. With a clever marketing campaign like this, Pepsi is sure to win the hearts (and yen, won, and yuans) of billions of Asians.

To hell with green tea, what with it's obivous lack of American style and taste!

Does it get any more badass?

Bike Cops

So I was riding home from the Filling Station last night after a Cloud Cult show on my bike. No light, wearing all black, sometime around 2:00AM. I turn into the Peet's hill parking lot, planning on heading up onto the Burke Park trail that goes back to my house on Highland. I hear a biker behind me. It was strange because I didn't see him before. He asks me to stop, so I look back with a bewildered look and stop pedaling. Then he say's he's a cop. A dialogue ensues:

Him: You know this park is closed at night, don't you?

Me: No, I didn't know that. That's stupid.

Him: Yeah, it is, and you are supposed to have a headlamp too.

Me: Yeah, I know that. I couldn't find mine when I left earlier.

Him: Can I see your ID?

I hand him my drivers license. He looks at it, calls it in and finds out I don't have any outstanding warrents and gives it back.

Him: Well, I'm just going to give you a warning, you should have a light. And go ahead and go through the park if you want. Have a nice ride.

Me: You too

and we go our seperate ways. . .

Thats a Lot of Poop

A broken pump caused 100 million litres of sewage to pour into the Fourth of Firth from a sewage processing plant. The sewage flowed for two and a half days before engineers could fix the problem by installing emergency pumps.

The chairman of the local residents' association has claimed that the plant, "has an infrastructure that is basically Third World technology." Residents have complained previously about the unsavory smells coming from the plant.

alright, alright!

Look, before you get your panties in a wad and start bitching about freedom of speech and censorship listen up. The problem is my name is the one in the URL. If someone posts something I don't want my name attached to, I'm gonna delete it. Think of it as quality control.

I certainly agree that there are all kinds of wealth, race, and gun control problems. You can't just post a picture that you know is going to shock people for the sole purpose of thinking those who are offended are wrong and you are right. Use your words, state an opinion. Chances are everyone who reads this agrees anyways. This isn't FOX news, no one needs to see anymore of that shit that is already saturating the media unless it has some real thoughts attached to it.

If you don't agree with this and think you are still being oppressed, make you're own blog. It takes .5 seconds, so do it and quit complaining. Then it can be whatever you want... Hell, I'll even point this one anywhere anyone wants if they get the initiative to buy a domain or anything like that...

Also F'ed

The day of the VT shootings, around 200 men, women and children were killed with a car bomb in Baghdad. It barely made it on the front page. Even if we only consider civilians in Iraq 1/6th as important as students in the US, that's still more then 33. (BBC image)

Happy Friday

My office is not messy.

How not to pond skim

From Big Sky's closing party on Saturday. At least it was sunny and warm, because only 1 person made it across the dual pond with a jump in the middle. It was certainly a good
spectator sport.
