So I will be leaving this evening for a trip to Las Vegas. Before you start with the “I wish I were going” rhetoric, just know that I’m going for business. Not pleasure. That being said, my hope is that the business side of things wraps up quick enough to be able to enjoy some of the more diverse things Vegas has to offer. Eh, who am I kidding? I want to hit the casinos!
I’ll be staying at the Red Rock Resort, which will be the first time I go to Vegas and not stay on the strip. I’m not quite sure how far from the strip it is, but I do know it’s more than $50 for a cab from the airport. So, yeah, that sucks. But hopefully I can make that up at the craps table. That is, if there is time for that sort of thing.

Here is a “twisted” artist interpretation of a Disney classic, Snow White. Kind of like Mickey Mouse meets Tim Burton. What do you think?
Interesting. If Rob Zombie was a cartoonist, this is probably what the result would be. You can see a bunch of other similar pics here. Yeah, they would probably creep out some kids. But I actually think they look pretty cool. Nice twist to some Disney classics. I think those classic Disney flicks should all be remade with these new animations. Then, whenever I get around to having kids, I won’t mind taking them to go see Bambi.

Just wanted to make note of the date. 8 years ago was the most shocking day of my life, so I can imagine how hard it hit those who witnessed it or lost loved ones on that day.
I know the country is going through some tough times right now. But I believe the American spirit will prevail. And if there was ever a perfect example of American spirit is when the passengers of Flight 93 rose up against the hijackers on that flight. Both a sad and proud moment in American history. We need some of that American spirit these days. God bless them. And God bless everyone was lost on that day.
On a lighter note, I bet the temperature is rather warm wherever those hijackers ended up. And by wherever, I mean hell.

So last week a few of us were discussing lunch, when our friend Matt starts yapping about going to a burger joint named Chunky’s. The crazy guy from Man VS Food went there and took on the 4 Horsemen Challenge, which consists of eating a very spicy burger in 25 minutes or less and not drinking anything the whole time. Or something like that. So basically, Matt saw this episode and wanted to try the burger. So we went.
The burger from hell.
When the waitress brings the food to the table, Matt’s burger was making our eyes water. Seriously. We should have had hazmat suits. The waitress tells Matt that if he does the challenge and completes it, the burger is free. But Matt turned down that offer right away. Just so you know, it’s a $17 burger. WTF?
Matt takes on the burger.
Anyway, Matt begins eating the 4 Horsemen. And his quest consisted of about 3 bites. That was it. He couldn’t take it. In those 3 bites, he drank 4 Dr. Peppers and said crazy stuff like “my mouth is melting” and “it tastes like fire”. In his defense, he didn’t cry. But he did start scratching his ears like they were covered in ants or something. Picture Roberto Duran saying to the ref “No Mas”!
The burger wins.
Who eats their burger with a fork and knife? Seriously.
There is always someone in the group crazy enough to do something like this. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Mr. Matt Lopez.

You know what was a great invention? The bikini. That was a great invention. Hard to imagine anything topping that. But someone did. With another bikini. Except that this one dissolves in water. That is just awesome.
They kind of sell it as the ultimate revenge gift. When a girl dumps a guy, the guy gets back at her with this. But what girl is going to accept a gift from an ex-boyfriend? Nevermind. I just realized how ridiculous that question is. Anyway, the video evidence is below.
I’m amazed no one thought of this a long time ago. It just makes sense. I wonder if they sell them in bulk.

The video that is, not the boobs. It matters not if the boobs are real.

Simply put, this is just a really cool piece of artwork. If the mob were made up of those fast food types, they may look like this. Can you ID them all? If you say yes, you’re a liar.
I was able to figure out the obvious characters. But follow this link if you want a better explanation. Nice work, Andrew!

A quick shout out to my fellow IT bothers and sisters out there. Today is System Administrator’s Appreciation Day. And if your office is anything like mine, then you will probably go all day without anyone mentioning anything to you. Why? Probably because they suck. But most likely because they just don’t know about it. And I’m not the kind of guy to go around and tell everyone that they are failing to recognize a significant day to techies everywhere. I will just take my time today should they need anything.
Anyway, I hope all of you out there help spread the word. Maybe it becomes viral? Maybe someday soon we start getting the recognition we deserve? After all, they have secretary’s day, or is it the more politically correct administrative assistant’s day? Who knows. But I do know the boss’s admin couldn’t print out those reports if a sysadmin hadn’t installed the software and setup that printer. ;)
Keep fighting the good fight!

BTW, I love Jennifer Aniston.
