"As a kid, I might have been psycho, I guess, but I used to throw golf balls in the trees and try and somehow make par from them. I thought that was fun. "
-Tiger Woods, The best golfer on the planet. Who is still playing from the rough for fun...
Hey All, I know that it isn't a weekend, but I hope that between reading the latest news on Tiger and trying not to freeze that you can take a moment to get up to speed on everything I think is worth knowing. Once upon a time I wrote about the new Google service...Wave--which like any good dance party is awfully lame without enough people. Fortunately I have 25 open invites, so let me know if you want in on the action. Back to now, I admit that it has been much too long since my last update--I really have no solid excuse. It was a tough process deleting all of the really interesting but outdated little blurbs that I have collected but not finished over the past several weeks, but I am pretty happy with whats left and I hope you are too. Enjoy.
Some Things that Don't Suck:
North Central College Cross Country, In case you haven't heard...NCC owned cross-country this past season. It was scary how good they were, if you missed them going 1-9 at conference, setting a new record low score at regionals, or winning nationals with 7 ALL-AMERICANS check out these videos: [Regionals] [Nationals]
Buying a Beer Company, Pabst Brewing Company is selling for $300 Million Dollars---which is a lot for one person...but only a little for a lot of people. Better yet, if you pledge (not pay yet) $10 and we buy it--you get $10 worth of beer. Win-Win. You know you want to. I won't tell your wife/girlfriend/mom as long as you don't tell Katie.
Just when I thought that t-shirts couldnt get any cooler... Taking Guitar lessons to learn how to play 'Wipeout' as a 14 year old made me feel really cool, playing the Guitar Hero video game in college made me feel like rock star, and this tee-shirt could finally push my ego over the edge...wow.
Homer Simpson as your Navigator, Do you have a Garmin? (or GRMN...damn) then you are out of luck. But if you have a TomTom GPS unit then you can download new "VoiceSkins" and have either Homer or Snoop Dogg help you to your destination.
Shop Savy, Do you ever wonder if you are getting a good deal on something in the store or if they just put a big yellow tag on it to fool you? If you have any of the new Google phones you can just snap a quick picture and it will tell you the cheapest price online as well as the best price locally as well as distance from where you are standing--awesome. Like most cool Droid features, the rest of us are just ouf of luck...NOT, there is a blackberry version and the box of Kleenex near my desk has 25 reviews online.(Edocrab [barcode backwards])
Seven Minute Popsicle!!! Wow that chocolate orange juice (long story) was really good, I wish I could take it with me, but I have to leave for work in 8 minutes and my car has no cup holders...I would be out of luck if this crazy freezing machine didn't exist or if I still had the Mercury Cougar with no cup holders...fortunately neither are true and this is sweet and possibly magic.
Lady GaGa, before she was a zombie-whore...I mean...uh...this. Really, watch both videos, I promise this is the same girl.
Some Things that Do:
I have to take this down after Christmas, with some help from my dad, I spent about 11 hours lighting up Black Friday. Almost falling off the 20ft edge of my garage--sucked, cleaning Lowe's almost totally out of lights--sucks for other people, and taking these down in the freezing cold of January will certainly suck--but my Christmas lights being timed to 20 Christmas carols does not suck at all. Stop by and see it.
The Bulls Defense, Not that I am a pro basketball player--but if some fool had tried this move during an intramural basketball game he would have been on his back in a second.
Go-Girl, This product has set a new Chance's Weekend Update record for THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING EVER!!! Literally a rubber funnel to help "active" women urinate standing up--do not miss the informational video. I guess it wont harm anyone, I mean worst case a lady would pee all over her hands...but more likely the little tomboy could be mistaken for a pre-op transexual....I would even go as far as to say that I wouldn't believe this was NOT created by Saturday Night Live writers if I hadn't already bought several as Christmas presents.

Until Next Time,
Chance
