The best things in life are free

Well not really “best” in this case, but it did make my day.

Just the other day, I was with Cris and for some reason I wanted to get me some Krispy Kreme on our way to Virra Mall.

For some strange reason, I was contemplating getting half a dozen pieces just so they would come in a box, which would be easier to bring (totally slipped my mind that they have little bags for smaller amounts).

Of course Cris put her foot down and said I should only get one else I’ll get fat. Plus lugging [and eating out of] a box in a mall is not cool. Suffice to say I ended up ordering just one.

To my surprise, they gave me 2 freshly baked pieces. I thought “cool, so I ended up getting my moneys worth; buy one get one for free” They do this often, but usually when I order a significant amount – I never expected it from an order of one measly piece.

Then they stretched out a bag with another piece inside. I was like “ano to?” (what’s this?) – to which the guy replied “Your order, sir!” Three Krispy Kreme donuts for the price of one… that was really cool!

What can I say, I’m shallow like that 🙂

Rest in Peace

It’s certainly sad when death is the thing that brings us up to speed with the “lives” of people we haven’t seen in a long time. All the same; here’s to a fellow batch-mate and GSM bench-mate – rest in peace.

RIP: George Carlin

What the fuck is with all the deaths recently? Not that they can be helped, but I seriously think there are other people more deserving of death than the people I’ve been hearing about.

So now we’ve got Carlin kicking the bucket as well.

Why him? George Carlin is by far the greatest comedian I’ve ever come across. Why couldn’t it be one of those other rip-offs like Carlos Mencia? Joe 1 See what I did there? Watch the video to get it.-fuckin’-dammnit!

He will be sorely missed.

How stupid do they think we are!?

So Denon’s selling digital interconnects at 500 dollars a pop. Cable is 5 feet btw in case anyone’s interested.

It’s basically an ethernet cable, which could be had at $3 at that same length. Yeah, it’s the same shit you use to connect your computer to broadband internetz.

I had tears in my eyes (from laughing) after reading one of the comments/reviews:

If I could use a rusty boxcutter to carve a new orifice in my body that’s compatible with this link cable, I would already be doing it. I can just imagine the pure musical goodness that would flow through this cable into the wound and fill me completely – like white, holy light. Holding this cable in my hands actually makes me feel that much closer to the Lord Jesus Christ.

I only make $6.25/hr at Jack in the Box, but I saved up for three months so I could have this cable. It sits in a shrine I constructed next to my futon in Mother’s basement.

I only gave it four stars in my review because I can’t find music that is worthy enough to flow through this utterly perfect interconnect.
