— Open Blogger Per Genghis:
I'm having a PC meltdown tonight (something screwy with the BIOS).
Obviously, this is God's way of telling Genghis to not take any face time away from the baby Jesus tonight.
However, being a miserable agnostic, I can safely ignore such celestial interventions and fill your screens with crap.
Merry f'n Christmas everybody!
(I moved the Christmas video after the jump because CDR M reminded me it has a naughty word in it. And we run a clean, family-oriented ship around these parts, by gum. To prove it, here's somebody's grandmother making Christmas dinner that I found on Webshots.)
Is that a toque? No matter, it's still wholesome, even if Canadian.
Still Need a Last-Last-Minute Christmas Present? Give the Gift of a Home Colonoscopy!
Introducing the USB Home Endoscope. It claims to be "plug & play" (huh huh) and to have a "flexible design" (uh huh huh huh).
I shall name him ... the iCouric.
It provides a 640x480 image, which is about where digital cameras were circa 1994. Obviously, anal photography has much room to grow.
More holiday cheer after the jump... That Disgusting, Filth-Ridden Christmas Video I Referenced Above That Used to Be on the Front Page But Now Isn't
Speaking of 640x480 Digital Cameras from 1994...
This is one of the first entries in the consumer digital camera market. And it has an Apple logo on it.
The QuickTake 100. It wasn't quick and didn't let you take much.
As you can see, it's the size of a pair of binoculars. At 640 x 480, it produced pictures of a whopping 1/3 of a single megapixel. And with a generous 1MB of flash memory, it could store fully eight of those hi-res beauties at one time. (By comparison, a top-end iPhone 4 comes with, uh, 32,000 times as much memory, and its camera, which is not exactly considered state-of-the-art, is 5 megapixels and can take video as well.)
All for $1070 in 2009 dollars.
Over the next couple years, Apple put out improved models. But needless to say, you can tell by looking at it that it's the sort of thing that would make Steve Jobs want to punch walls. The moment he regained sweet, sweet ironfisted control of the company, he killed the QuickTake program and never looked back.
The Best Christmas Song You've Probably Never Heard
Sherwin Sleeves is the alter ego of Sean Hurley. No, I don't know who Sean Hurley is either, but he makes some great old-man-in-a-cabin-in-the-woods music. He does lots of songs for Opie & Anthony and Ron & Fez on Sirius XM. Ever since I first heard this last year, I've never been able to get it out of my head.
I really don't know what this is, except that this guy throws a metric bleepton of bacon on the table while screaming "Bacon! Bacon! Bacon!" over and over, which is really about the only hurdle one needs to clear for inclusion in an AoS ONT. Also, CDR M emailed it to me, so if you think it's weird, it's all his fault.
Surprisingly, This Video Has No Meat In It Whatsoever
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Official Lady Gaga 2010 Christmas Video, featuring Beyonce! Except that by "official," I mean "somebody made it in his basement with a five-year-old copy of Windows Media Maker," and it doesn't appear to have anything to do with Beyonce. But again, CDR M sent it to me, so I pass the savings on to you.
It took over two years and more than seven gallons. And you have to wonder how he was ever able to part with it, given how bloodythirsty he was. *rimshot*
Anyway, the Iraqis can't decide whether it's worth untold millions of dollars or if it should be taken out back and burned. There also seems to be some question of possible eternal damnation hanging over all their heads.
My conclusion? Bush's fault.
"I do not understand. Why is all the ink green?"
Merry Boxing Day Eve, everybody!

Scientists study post-election habits of Morons, with predictable results:
Voting for the winning candidate makes guys want to watch pornography, a study suggests.
Building on past studies of testosterone levels, a husband-and-wife team of psychologists examined Internet usage and found a pattern between the number of search requests for porn and the states that backed the winners in the last two presidential elections, as well as in the congressional election between them.
No mention of a possible followup study monitoring pudding sales.

so, suppose you're putting a processor into a socket, and you just accidentally bend one of the pins - is there any hope? is the pin bendable back without snapping? or am I just boned?
1) Modern Intel chipsets are Land-Grid-Array (LGA). The pins are on the motherboard. If you bend them, they are harder to fix. But if you have a high end CPU, the motherboard is cheaper so be thankful.
2) All is not lost. Fine toothed pliers and a razor blade are your friend. The latter doubels as an antidepressant if you fail in mission one.
3) It's a royal PITA. It used to be easier but there are 1) more pins and 2) greater density so 3) less room to work with.
Conclusion: Don't bend the fucking pins.
I use a large-bore mechanical pencil , and slip the bent pin into the end where the lead comes out. Then GENTLY bend the pin straight.

OH--- I've also got three flavors of 'vodka' soaking....add about 3 pounds of fruit and 3 cups of sugar to a liter of cheap vodka--- let sit for a few weeks, taste and adjust flavor with more fruit or sugar. Let sit for a day or two more, strain and give as gifts. For those, I got pretty blown glass bottle stoppers for 5 bucks.

Leakin' Hawaii threw 6 interceptions I believe. 5 in the first half. Three of the interceptions were returned for touchdowns or inside the 3. Tulsa KNEW, that dropping into coverage was more productive than rushing the QB.

Going Ann Coulter is like going nuclear around here.
A couple of years ago, some relatives of my brother-in-law came down here for the Michigan State game. I didn't go to the game, but went to the house afterwards for festivities. The relatives were both Michigan school teachers.
During a discussion on what kind of books we read, I mentioned that in addition to thrillers, I also read some political opinion. The teacher-wife babe asked me who my favorite political editorialist was. I told her Ann Coulter.

In DC, that question is typical in a group setting. I evade by directing them to Gary Larson. For real, I think my new fave political editorialist is the Danish guy who got murdered for putting an interpretation of Mohammed's image to permanent record.

Kratos,
Yeah, I think there was plastic bottles,etc. involved. Fun stuff.
I loved "In a Yugo."
Classic liberal bashing.
In fact, here it is:

Went to midnight mass and we had the excitement of the paramedics as someone passed out with a thud. You really get to know where the doctors are in a standing room only Catholic church. They literally came out of the woodwork.
Let's hope this Christmas brings the peace and joy of the Christ child to everyone's hearts and minds.....and may God be with you all....
love you guys.....

Yes, he was murdered for telling the truth about how women are treated under Islam. And his co-worker, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, was eventually forced to leave Europe and move here.

He's 100% jackass. He should be in jail for exposing the positions of American Forces over the air during the Iraq invasion.

Yeah...not sure if you caught the earlier threads, partying in LA and all that...but my family busted out the old "Racist" card on me and everyone else that opposes immigration and hates brown people.
Mark Levin's book Men in Black will be the first gift Conservative Claus leaves my stupid liberal family. It Is On.

I would just go with it. "Yup, I sure am a racist. That's why I'm surrounded by you white people. Minorities scare me. So, who wants to join me at the next Klan meeting? You have to bring your own sheets, though."

Opinions, and their own sense of infallibility.
As the Great One once said, "Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so".

Well, I got home a while ago after spending time with family. Stayed away from politics. Got some great gifts, including a NERF BAR type gun. After I got home a little while ago, put the thing together.
Damn does it shoot! Of course with 6 D Batteries, it should.
So it has been a very good Christmas here. Snow early in the day, but it let up come this evening. And had a good time with family and friends.
I hope you all had the same.

Good Night and Merry Christmas to all you M&Ms.
I've got the family gathering later today, so I need to hit the rack.
I'm looking forward to the food, fun, and the smiling faces of my little great nieces, Lilli and Rosy, as they open their gifts.
May your Christmas be wonderful and your (our) New Year a better one.
Keep the faith.

That would cause some sort of Tipping Point. I drove by the Samuel Mudd house (where JWBooth got help), and the place where JWBooth got killed is on my way home. I know the story pretty well, but my family just doesn't want to hear any revisions on their interpretations of the War of Northern Aggression.
They refuse to recognize the work of the KKK and Pres. Pro Temp. Robert KKK Byrd on behalf of the Southern Democrats like Al Gore Sr and JW Fulbright who.... Well, you all know.

Personally, I prefer "Christmas-time in Hell" over "Merry F'ing Christmas", but that's just me.
I've finally figured out what I'm going to get my stepmother for Christmas. Too bad it won't get delivered until after the holidays.

I like to read.
I'm into freedom of speech and choice.
I like to sit in a greasy spoon...
...and think, "Should I have steak
or barbecued ribs with gravy fries?"
I want high cholesterol.
I want to eat bacon, butter and cheese.
I want to smoke a Cuban cigar
the size of Cincinnati.
I want to run through the streets naked....reading Playboy magazine
because I might need to.
I've seen the future.
It's a 35-year-old virgin...
...drinking a banana-broccoli shake
and singing "I'm an Oscar Mayer wiener."
Merry Christmas M&Ms.

Yeah pretty much so. Which is funny because MY old high school friends are, well, really diverse and whatnot. I mean, South Central LA diverse. Not that it should fkn matter to anyone you know but that's how the MLMedia portrays stuff these days.

So since it's Christmas, I was wondering if any of you have ever seen the movie "A Midnight Clear"?
Very good film about the Battle of the Bulge, but at the end of it, when the credits roll, there is just one hell of a version of the song by the same name. Almost sung as a dirge, and fits the film like a glove.

Saw one of those in a Walmart. Pretty lame. Can't imagine why anyone would buy something like that...then again, I can't imagine why anyone would buy 80% of the stuff in any retail store.

Merry Christmas M&M.
Gave my sister some skin care crap and a gift card, but the gift bag I got was too big for just a card. I threw an empty beer bottle (it was within arms reach) in there to fill the bag up with a note taped on:
Christmas Haiku
For my dear Sister
I got her beer for Christmas.
But I was thirsty.

Had the big Christmas Eve to-do at the in-laws' and with the in-laws' last night. Twenty-two people and three generations. Noisy and chaotic, but great fun. I served as the emcee / moderator / court of final authority for the greedy Santa gift exchange (i.e., I herded cats) and emerged unscathed.
Today pretty much the same cast assembles at another home to restart the chaos. It would have been our house, but the other alternate host (a brother-in-law) swapped the engagement with us last year in order to remodel his kitchen. (Whew!)

Nope, Mary was not a single mother. When I was a child it was explained to me thus: Mary and Joseph were an engaged couple and it was simply assumed that they anticipated their wedding vows.

anyone else have hyper kids begging to pop open a present?
Posted by: navycopjoe at December 24, 2010 11:36 PM (uIQK6)
That would be Mrs D.
Ours never make it past Christmas Eve. When the kids were young, we used to go to mom and dad's for Christmas, which meant we travelled Christmas Eve, so the kids opened their stuff here before we left.
Mom and Dad are gone now, and the kids have moved out, but the family tradition remains. Presents are for Christmas Eve.
