I wish my boss had my back
A Good Ol’ Fashioned A** Whoopin’
Retail Philadelphia, PA, USA
Me: “Sir, would you like to use any coupons today?”
Customer: “Yes, I’ve been saving them. Here you go!”
(He hands me a coupon that had expired five years previously.)
Me: “Sir, your coupon is expired.”
Customer: “WHAT?! What do you mean its expired? You f***ing b****, you’re just trying to steal my f***ing money! You’re trying to rob me! You and this f***ing company are trying to steal my f***ing money!”
(The customer attempts to climb over the counter and attack me. Thankfully, my manager intercepts him.)
Manager: “Sir, I need you to come with me.”
(My manager hauls the customer off counter by the back of his collar and drags him outside. Ten minutes pass, and he comes back in hauling a very disheveled customer by the shirt.)
Customer: “Your manager told me that I need to apologize to you. I’m sorry for yelling.”
Manager: “Now, apologize for cursing at her.”
Customer: “I’m sorry for cursing at you.”
Manager: “Now, what’s our policy on expired coupons?”
Customer: “You don’t accept them.”
Manager, to me: “Is he forgiven, or would you like to have him arrested?”
Me: “No, its okay. ”
Manager, to customer: “Now get out, and don’t come back.” *throws customer out*

Zero G Menticulation.
Diet Coke and Mentos has now reached this epic level of notoriety that now people have created a word called "menticulation", I acknowledge it because IT SOUNDS LIKE IT MAKES SENSE!
It's not as cool as you'd hope though...
Menticulation of Diet Coke in Microgravity!

Accurate, but wrong, all at the same time, it's actually pretty awesome.
Fear and Loathing: Democratic National Convention
Drunk at DNC is a blog that hosts pictures taken during the 2008 Democratic National Convention, but not the inside, where the news media already saturated every information output station imaginable. From what I could tell, most of the images are of the protesters and the individuals on the floor, it's a different point of view that makes for a far more interesting read then the actual hand-shaking back-patting political-rhetoric rar-rar-Pep-Rally-with-free-condoms that the National Conventions has become.
Dressing up your dog is kind of mean.
Trying to pimp him out after wards is even worse, in my opinion.
Two Headed boy dies after 48 hours.
From Telegraph
A baby boy born with two heads has died, after his Bangladeshi parents took him home from hospital because they could not afford treatments that could have prolonged his life.
One unforeseen circumstance with India's current industrial revolution is the increased birth defects due to their heavy pollution. The worst thing about this is that this is happening mostly to their poorest class, who can't even afford clean water and safe environment, let alone quality medical care.
I can't get this damn song out of my head.
I came across this video on yesbutnobutyes yesterday, and thought "oh how silly, ha ha ha, but it's not quite silly enough!" (Ok, it's actually silly enough, I just got sick of the song and couldn't stand it anymore)
and now, a day later, I. CAN'T. GET. THE. DAMN. SONG. OUT. OF. MY. HEAD.
So of course the natural thing is to share it with you.

Al Pacino's sexual fantasy involves being bored and not having sex.
Does he actually have sexual intercourse with the amazon, or does he come out behind the curtain to take a bow?

20th Century Boys.
20th Century Boys is one of my all time favorite manga series, the story's dark, moody, a little silly, but insanely conspiratorial. I followed the series for about 2 years before it gave me a brain aneurysm from sheer confusion. I was able to recover later on and finish the series, which ended in a rather anticlimactic fashion.
Don't get me wrong, it's still a good read, and I'd recommend it to anybody remotely interested in Japanese style comics.
There's a reason I wanted to talk about 20th Century Boys, and it isn't because I inhaled a gas can of diesel, I really wanted to talk about it because I just saw the trailer:
That movie looks like crap.
Let me reiterate, the screen play may be excellent and the actors may be Oscar worthy, but I can't get over the fact that all modern day Japanese movies (that's made in Japan) seems to be filmed through special "crap-o-vision" camera so that they all have that distinctive shitty night-time-general-hospital-soap-opera feel. Hell, even the special effects they have on the trailer looked like something you'd see out of the Doctor Who Christmas Special, with less David Tennant making out with Kylie Minogue in there.
Look, Japan, I know you can make decent looking movies, Kurosawa films were legendary, but you don't have to use that as the ruler, but for god's sake, invest a little money in your cinematography. Buy a god damn fucking camera that doesn't make your features look like shit, god damn it, YOU ARE THE EPICENTER OF TECHNOLOGICAL GADGETRY, WTF, GET WITH IT, JAPAN!

Seriously, borderline is still borderline which still makes it NSFW.
I'm sick of reading Holy Taco or Double Viking or Funtasticus or 88% of the blogs out there and all it has is pictures of half naked hot chicks. It's hawt, guys, that's awesome, but having pictures of half naked (or full naked) hot chicks available on your site is awesome until my employer walks up behind me while I'm browsing, then the following conversation happens:
"So uh... you know that sensitivity training we make you go to every month?"
"You mean the monthly sensitivity training that drove me to uncontrollable flower arranging and the inability to never stop crying, that sensitivity meeting?"
"Yeah... so... uh... we are gonna have to change the scheduling, you'll be required to attend that meeting weekly now."
In other news, I'm moving to Russia.
there's no actual point to this post, I just wanted to rant a bit.

Man, I finally saw The Dark Knight at Imax, and it was as good as everyone told me it was, my only complaint is that it would have been even more awesome had I been drinking.

I may have a drinking problem, I'm not gonna lie...

Radiohead to Webcast their final show from Santa Monica
From their Blog
Christ, some bands out there are so fucking futuristic in their thinking I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Radiohead actually teleport themselves to concert locations by mind power and well wishes.
Go to their Blog for more information.
Edit: Ok, did anybody even bothered watching this? I meant to, then I totally passed out and slept until early morning, too early to stay up, but too late to go back to bed, so I ended up cursing at the sky for the next 3 hours.
Hello! To celebrate the end of a brilliant tour, we're going to webcast the last show here in America. We'll be playing live in Santa Barbara, at the Bowl. It's one of our favourite places to play; I think we've ended tours there before, once even playing a cover of ' cinnamon girl '. It's not too big, in fact it's very intimate, a small arena with a dirt floor, set in pretty countryside. It should be a special night, for lots of reasons, and we're going to try and share as much of it as we can on the webcast. Nigel, our producer, will be helping out getting it to you, so if it goes wrong....It's live!

Wine that Loves.
Wine that Loves is a website that sells wine specially tailored to a particular type of food. Expending deeper into the realm of "red for meat, white for fish" (I've always considered fish "meat", I mean, it's healthier meat, but why is it not meat?).
Wine isn't my thing, and shopping for wine is probably the biggest head ache for anyone who only occasionally imbibes. I love the concept that they make wine specifically for what you are having for dinner, instead of the long heated debate choosing Shiraz vs Merlot when serving steak in cream sauce (the answer is BOTH, but I'm a lush, so what do I know.).
This'll be nice to see on the store shelves one day.

Well I guess that's one way to distract your opponent.
I'm really not sure what the naked man hopes to achieve by flashing the biker... sometimes drunk is just inexplicable, I guess.

Poor rich bastard. Can you believe he is flying commercial? I am so sad for him.
Fox News gave up trying...
The only reason I would still watch FOX news is because sooner or later they'll create a program that superimposes a turban and an AK over any footage of Obama.
