What Movie Villian Are You?
Yeah, this is my new idea to get more returning traffic. Around the beginning of each week I'm going to have a new quiz for you to visit and leave your answers here, in my comments. I'll go first, to get the ball rolling. (I don't allow code in my comments, so the pic won't work and you'll have to re-type your answer for this one)

It took exactly ten months to accomplish 5000. Damn, I feel like a homepage loser. Knet homepages in total gets over 20 million hits a month and all I got were 500 of those per month. (almost 17 a day)
I check out my referrers often too, just to see who's sending me visitors. I get some from the APTN blog page, Google searches, the last-updated Knet page, MSN searches, blog directories, nyhotties.com, other aboriginal bloggers (Yo Tim!

You people rock!
I remember being happy crossing 1000 and 2000. I completely missed 3000, and 4000 was a nice surprise. Do me a favour, tell your friends about this blog and let's have a quick 10,000 hits, okay? No cheating, because my counter doesn't count reloads.

Because I'm a man, you don't have to ask me if I liked the movie. Chances are, if you're crying at the end of it, I didn't....and if you are feeling amorous afterwards...then I will certainly at least remember the name and recommend it to others.
Because I'm a man, I think what you're wearing is fine. I thought what you were wearing five minutes ago was fine, too. Either pair of shoes is fine. With the belt or without it, looks fine. Your hair is fine. You look fine. Can we just go now?
Because I'm a man, and this is, after all, the year 2005, I will share equally in the housework. You just do the laundry, the cooking, the cleaning, the vacuuming, and the dishes, and I'll do the rest...... like wandering around in the garden with a beer wondering what to do.

Support Your Local Police
(From Slate.com) The Wall Street Journal looks at law enforcement's latest crime-fighting technique: "Wet workshops," in which trainee cops serve alcohol to volunteers and then practice giving sobriety tests.
The Journal says that some cops do similar tests with drugs, although, of course, they don't actually hand out the goods. Instead, they troll rock concerts asking people if they're stoned and perhaps would like to volunteer as test subjects. Plenty of people are happy to show their civic-mindedness. "I'm not screwed up now," said one reveler. "But I'll be back in a couple hours.'"

Because I'm a man, when one of our appliances stops working, I will insist on taking it apart, despite evidence that this will just cost me twice as much once the repair person gets here and has to put it back together.
Because I'm a man, I must hold the television remote control in my hand while I watch TV. If the thing has been misplaced, I may miss a whole show looking for it (though one time I was able to survive by holding a calculator).....applies to engineers mainly.
Because I'm a man, there is no need to ask me what I'm thinking about. The true answer is always either sex, cars, or sport. I have to make up something else when you ask, so don't ask.
Because I'm a man, I do not want to visit your mother, or have your mother come visit us, or talk to her when she calls, or think about her any more than I have to. Whatever you got her for Mother's Day is okay; I don't need to see it. And don't forget to pick up something for my mother, too.

Because I'm a man, when I lock my keys in the car I will fiddle with a coat hanger long after hypothermia has set in. The CAA is not an option. I will win.
Because I'm a man, when the car isn't running very well, I will pop the hood and stare at the engine as if I know what I'm looking at. If another man shows up, one of us will say to the other, "I used to be able to fix these things, but now with all these computers and everything, I wouldn't, know where to start." We will then drink a couple of beers and break wind, ...... as a form of holy communion.
Because I'm a man, when I catch a cold, I need someone to bring me soup and take care of me while I lie in bed and moan. You're a woman. You never get as sick as I do, so for you, this is no problem.
Because I'm a man, I can be relied upon to purchase basic groceries at the store, like milk or bread. I cannot be expected to find exotic items like "cumin" or "tofu." For all I know, these are the same thing.

You're 1 of 7 complete strangers of widely varying personality characteristics are involuntarily placed in an endless kafkaesque maze. You can't remember how you got there and have no idea why. Some of the rooms are traps and will result in injury, mutilation, disease or the very kindest of punishments: death. Fear, paranoia, suspicion and desperation are your only companions inside your head with hope having little to no chance of surviving, just like you. Now imagine not one, not two, but THREE movies based on this idea and you have Cube, Cube 2: Hypercube and Cube Zero, three sci-fi movies which rank among my favourites.
Cube [Link] (original) 7 complete strangers of widely varying personality characteristics are involuntarily placed in an endless kafkaesque maze as subjects for a psychological experiment on conditioned human response.
Cube 2: Hypercube [Link] (Sequel) Eight strangers find themselves waking up in a strange cube-shaped room with no recollection of how they came to be there. Soon discovering that they're in a strange fourth dimension where our laws of physics don't apply, they have to unravel the secrets of the "hypercube" in order to survive...
Cube Zero [Link] (Prequel) A young man whose job is to watch over the Cube endeavours to rescue an innocent woman trapped in one of its rooms.

What was the last thing my TV did? Played Mercenaries [Link] I've been playing this game a lot recently. The game is: you play one of three soldiers of fortune and you go after 52 members of an evil regime led by General Song. The 52 members are called the Deck of 52, and are split up into four groups (clubs, diamonds, spades, hearts) and I've already worked my way through the clubs and am working on the last diamond. That's a hard one because my vehicles keep getting blown up. Then I keep getting blown up. It's a pretty fun game with several things to do at any one time and the Deck of 52 provides the linearity needed in any game. I've got over 2.6 million dollars already, but a lot of cash was spent busting bunkers around the N.K. Black Gate. What was the catch phrase for this game? Oh yeah, "blow the snot out of it, blow the snot out of it some more." Hehehehe, fun!

Joke Time: Men VS Women
SUCCESS:
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
STYLE:
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
Women somehow deteriorate during the night.
MONEY MANAGEMENT:
A man is a person who will pay two dollars for a one dollar item he wants.
A woman will pay one dollar for a two dollar item that she doesn't want.
HAPPINESS:
To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
MARRIAGE EXPECTATIONS:
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change and she does.
MARRIAGE DECISIONS:
Men marry because they are tired.
Women marry because they are curious.
Both are disappointed.
MARRIAGE AND THE FUTURE:
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband,
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
MEMORIES:
A woman will always cherish the memory of the man who wanted to marry her.
A man cherishes the memory of the woman who he didn't marry.
UNDERSTANDING WOMEN:
There are two times when a man doesn't understand a woman - before marriage and after marriage.
WHAT A WOMAN WANTS:
Only two things are necessary to keep one's wife happy...
- One is to let her think she is having her own way.
- The other is to let her have it.
LONGEVITY:
Married men live longer than single men, but married men are a lot more willing to die.
MISTAKES:
Any married man should forget his mistakes - no use
two people remembering the same thing.
THE BATTLE:
A woman always has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Lowbrow Moment: (I steal these, not experience them. But, I may have some empathy for them)
in highschool during one very long soccer practice on a hot day, I lost my keys to my car. I told my coach, and as everyone was limping off the field to go die, he forced them to comb the entire field and told me to wait on the side.
While waiting, i found the keys in my bag. I guess i should've said something, but it was just too funny at the time.
man thats a relief.

You really haven't properly lived until you've humped a parked car. It's about as simple as you might think. Approach from any direction. Using a corner is preferrable for functional and asthetic appeal. It's entirely up to the individual whether to drop trou or not. I personally prefer not to have my exposed genetalia come into contact with hard, cold chrome, but I won't judge you if you decide to give it a shot. Simply get into position with your crotch resting lightly against your particularly chosen car's corner, use your hands to guide your intial thrusts, then when you've got a good rhythm going, feel free to position your arms as you see fit. Again, my personal preferrence is to have one hand gripping the car and the other hand curled back and resting on the back of my head. I encourage you to find your own technique, remember embellishment counts for alot.
A word of caution: some people develop odd fetishes and will only hump certain kinds of cars. I'm not here to judge you, but I highly recommend against developing a fetish for police cars or city santitation vehicles . . . just trust me on this one.

KIDS AGITATE ME!!!
Kids have their whining and crying down to, for lack of a better description, a finely-tuned science.
With their voices they can pierce and split on eardrums much like a chalkboard being scratched.
Some kids cry like they're changing gears:
EEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEaaaaaaAAAAAAAaaaaaarrr! (gasp and repeat)
Others use a strong E sound to best suit their interests:
(big inhale) PlEEEEEEEEEeeease can I have a cookieEEEEEEEEEEEEe?
I think I'm pretty sure I wasn't that bad when I was a kid.
But you never know.
TWISTED INFO
Do you know what I learned today? I learned what "Fez" stands for. You know "That 70's Show" character from... wherever-the-hell-it-is-he's-from. Anyway, in the first couple episodes they characters had trouble pronouncing his name, but he was a Foreign Exchange Student.... so they used F, E and S. Or Fes.. Fez. Bleah.

Dendrobates like to live in warm humid habitats. While most small colorful frogs are poisonous in the wild, they tend to lose a lot, if not all, of their toxicity when bred in captivity. This is largly due to the lack of the variety they would normally get in their diet in the wild. They eat small insects such as fruit flies, newborn crickets, and meadow plankton.What kind of Frog are you?
Lowbrow Moment: (Stolen, not experience)
not enough sleep=too tired to give a damn
good night's sleep=feeling to good to waste it at work, so i don't give a damn.

I could go on about the weather around these parts (wet snow, warm days but where's the sun?) and how I would have waited at the groundhog hole with a 3 wood golf club, always at the ready to knock his head roughly 175 yards. I guess no golf for six weeks. Damn, I was going to get into it this year too.
