all love enhancers on one portal!
Not a great day for spam.
Sorry about yesterday's crazy sweepingstatementdat fiasco. It was fun seeing all those great responses, and I got carried away and let the bunglesphere get out of control for awhile there. Dangerously out of control. Won't happen again. Thanks to everyone for the responses, even the lame ones.
And thanks to Price Waterhouse Coopers for helping tally all the points. Tommy, Natalie, Rick, Lenny, Carl, Belinda -- you guys are the best! Foster's on me down at the Sunset Grill Thursday night.
I ate a baked (microwaved) potato for dinner tonight. My people have been eating them for a long time now. We are a smart and refined people. What the hell is better than a baked potato? A rotisserie chicken? Maybe, just maybe. I've never eaten one.
Other foods I've never eaten: meatloaf, crab, lobster, quail, octopus, eel, rabbit, duck, pheasant, and venison.
The new camcorder is just about the coolest thing I've ever seen. Rather, having a camcorder of any kind is just about the coolest thing I've ever seen. I can't wait to get that thing out onto the softball field. We could just set it up and let it go, I've got the four hour battery for it. Then I could edit down game footage into a nice two minute package. Like I'd ever have that kind of time.
OK, maybe I would.
If I ever got a new computer.
The early macbook pro user reviews are in and of course they are all over the map. Everyone says it's fast as hell but we get wildly different observations on battery life, temperature, and display quality. Also, more than half of the people who have posted say that it makes a weird and highly annoying buzzing sound and that it gets as hot as Satan's verbungle. But they're such mac loyalists that they're like, "It's still awesome."
Don't get me wrong, I will still probably end up getting one, but I kind of think that if you're dropping $3K on a computer that will hopefully last you a few years, you should probably come away very happy about the entire experience. Loud buzzing would make me feel a bit ripped off. It seems like people tolerate a ton of design flaws, lost features, etc. just because it's a Mac. For example, the old PowerBooks had terrible wifi reception. To me, that's a big deal. And Apple didn't address it for several years. Yet the machines cost a fortune. I guess you pay for the software and the OS. And the look. F you, Apple. Now come bring me new shiny toys.
I have been busting my ass at work lately and fantasizing about a simpler life. By simpler, I mean one in which I have accumulated great wealth and rarely if ever have to work. Imagine if I could spend like 7 hours a day posting on verbungle.com (instead of the 4-5 I spend now)? I think if I was a rich douchebag I would live in the Hudson Valley and go buy fresh apples at the store in town like every other day. The wife and I would grill out three times a week (I guess I'd make Boca burgers or something, please don't ruin my fantasy by sweating this point). When I woke up at ten every day I would read the newspaper while eating a rich and satisfying breakfast. Then I'd take Baby Bungle out to an open green field and we'd fly kites. We'd have to be home by around 3 so we could take long afternoon naps under the covers in our cool beds.
What kind of a life would you live if you were a rich douchebag? (If you are already a rich douchebag, you can simply describe your current lifestyle.)
