Speaking of awesome, how about all of our veterans (US and Canadian)? I know I'm a day late, but they're all STILL awesome! Thanks to all of them for their service and sacrifice.

Since moving to Athens (Roughly 1hour 30mins from Atlanta) I have noticed that when ordering things from Amazon, their estimated arrival time has been as much as a week higher than actual shipping time. Why is this awesome? Well I pre-ordered COD Black Ops II and because I am not losing my mind about it, I selected the standard shipping which is free on amazon. Estimated arrival time was late next week (wed-fri, 21-23) and it would ship out sometime yesterday(Tues 13). Well I get the confirmation it shipped and so this morning out of curiosity I check the tracking number, it is already in Athens. So it is freaking awesome that Amazon has a warehouse and facility in Atlanta because now my estimated arrival date is tomorrow! I think Friday I may take a half day and go on a long awaited Zombie Hunt :flirt:

Edit: related to that, did anyone else know that he voiced 1/2 of The Ambiguously Gay Duo (and who voiced the other half)??

 

10. “Partners” in Justice

The Ambiguously Gay Duo, a cartoon that debuted on “The Dana Carvey Show,” and eventually made it’s way over to “Saturday Night Live,” followed the adventures of crime fighting team Ace and Gary. The spandex clad duo worked together to take down evil… and raise eyebrows.  Carell voiced the part of Gary, but you’ll likely recognize Ace as well. That assured baritone belongs to Carell’s fellow Second City alum, Stephen Colbert.

When I found the answer to this one at some point last year, I was shocked. It's interesting to go back and see some of the stuff those two worked on over the years. And I guess you could say the same about a lot of people in the comedy field.

I'm not sure I understand.

I'm not sure I understand.

 

It sounds like they're basically buying the distressed debt (like a debt collector would), then forgiving said debt rather than attempting to collect it. I'd hope this is going towards people who are defaulting due to a pretty legitimate hardship (Sandy damage, job loss, medical expenses, etc), but the idea is sheer brilliance.

 

In case you’ve wondered, buying debt is a relatively cheap business investment. A few hundred dollars will buy thousands of dollars of debt. It’s then the responsibility (and usually pleasure) of the new owner to hound and harass the debt holder for the balance, all while collecting interest as pure profit.

While it is not really celebrated like January 1st today is *First of Muharram* on the Islamic calendar.

 

So, Happy New Year to me and any others who are celebrating in some way.

 

The first day of the Islamic year 1434.

 

It has been 1434 years since the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the earliest Muslims migrated to what is now Medina from Mecca.

Well, if I were Zoroastarian, or from Iran and it was not today, your greeting would work. The Internet is not always your friend.

 

That said, it's all about intention, and yours was very good, the way I look at it. So, thank you. :wub:

It was close enough then? :)

 

Heh, inconceivable!

The fishing on the Niagara is world class. I have never seen more fish being pulled out of the river, either in our boat or people on shore. We actually had a quadruple header.

I don't know why I live in NJ.

After working my 7th day in a row, I got to come home to a rare treat: Jo cooked dinner. She made something called Belgian pot roast, which was basically pot roast with Ommegang BPA in it. Brilliant. Kicking back with a few beers now and watching V for Vendetta. I needed a nice night like this.

[inkman]

... watching V for Vendetta.

I STILL need to see that movie, but Netflix streaming says no.

 

I'm reluctant to break down and buy it on iTunes. But I really do want to see it.

 

Dammit.

rentable for $4.00. just a thought. and it's well worth the $4.00. well, actually it'd be well worth the $20 to outright buy it. it's an awesome movie.

You can probably buy it on ebay or half.com for the $4

My brother and parents took my 69 year old aunt to Chuck E Cheese for her birthday yesterday. I guess their present was being able to see the 2 year old nephew run around and have a blast. She loved it. Oh, and apparently my dad is quite the ski ball player.
