Unsought Input

To summarize Western Oregon College softball player Sara Tucholsky, who hit the ball out of the park against Central Washington but tore a knee ligament while rounding first base. It’s not a home run unless she makes it home, and she couldn’t walk, so two Central Washington players carried her around the bases.

Central Washington ended up losing the game and being eliminated from the playoffs. One of the girls who helped Tucholsky around the bases said, “”In the end, it is not about winning and losing so much. It was about this girl. She hit it over the fence and was in pain, and she deserved a home run.”

Exhibit A: Two horrendous impersonators mock the people who we expect to be the leaders of our country. Apparently the office of the president has no respect anymore (thank you George W. Bush) and is now just a joke. Pretty much everyone feels that they are better than the candidates. Since both Barrack and Hillary were beaten by the big Samoan guy does that mean that he is the democratic candidate? I sure hope so I am not looking forward to more months of speculation and polling. He could probably kick John McCain’s ass well so the Democrats would have a lock come November.

This video has been unleashed on the general public recently. It was a internal promotional video for Microsoft’s sales staff to pump them up for selling Windows Vista. It features “Bruce ServicePack and the Vista Street Band” singing about how rockin’ the new service pack update 1 is. They don’t mention all of the bugs that Vista had when it shipped and how vastly inferior it is to Windows XP in every regard, but hey they have a bad parody rock band. I enjoy the fact that they are spoofing a video from almost 20 years ago. Maybe the reason Windows Vista isn’t selling is because Microsoft is completely out of touch secluded in its fortress of doom in the Pacific North West. Seriously what ever PR firm made this turd should be banned from making any type of promotional material in any media ever.

I’m sure you’ve seen the trailer and ads for the new movie Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed! with Ben Stein on TV or the internet. The premise of the movie is that Big Science the elitist scientific establishment is keeping Intelligent Design out of the classrooms and ruining the careers of any scientist who speaks in favor of it.

Stein says on the topic, “Big Science in this area of biology has lost its way,” says Stein. “Scientists are supposed to be allowed to follow the evidence wherever it may lead, no matter what the implications are. Freedom of inquiry has been greatly compromised, and this is not only anti-American, it’s anti-science. It’s anti-the whole concept of learning.”

Balls of Steel is a comedy series out of Britain in which a series of performers do stunts filmed by hidden camera. The show features mostly outrageous and annoying stunts in which the performer pisses the hell out of the target. Think Jackass only meaner. Fortunately the British are a little less violent than Americans and there hasn’t been any shootings on the show, yet. The following videos are a sample of the performers and the stunts they do.

 Neg’s Urban Sports:

Neg plays “urban sports” by performing stunts in which he competes against an unwitting participant. In this stunt “Urban Sprinting” he walks out of a department store with just a security tag and then has to escape from security guards.

Happy Dyngus Day everybody! Dyngus Day or Eastern Monday, or Wet Monday is a traditional Roman Catholic holiday primarily celebrated in Poland and by some people of Polish decent in the united states. The primary activities are decorating and rolling eggs, dousing people with water and whipping young boys and girls. Needless to say it should come as no surprise that this is a Polish holiday and Dyngus Day seems like the perfect name.

270 is the number of electoral college votes needed to win the president of the United States. Even though most people think that the presidential election is a popular vote it is in fact an electoral college. Simply put each state, based on its population, has a certain number of electors who cast their vote for president. The number of electors is the number of senators plus the number of representatives. So every state has a minimum of two electoral votes. These electors meet to cast their votes for president 41 days after the popular election.

P.S. According to this article British women say men with the name Dave are the most well endowed. Now if only this trend would carry over to the States much like the Office.

Me rambling about a topic I know very little about, but compared to the other nerds who read this site I’m probably an expert.
