Joke of the Week

2008-06-07T10:26:00.000-07:00

So I was stumbling this morning, and I stumbled one of the funniest jokes that I've heard for months and months. I found the joke at http://www.michaelaulia.com/

Enjoy, laugh much!

For several years, a man was having an affair with an Italian woman.

One night, she confided in him that she was pregnant.
Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he paid her a
large sum of money if she would go to Italy to secretly have the child.

If she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would also provide child support until the child turned 18.
She agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born.
To keep it discrete, he told her to simply mail him a post card, and write ‘Spaghetti’ on the back.
He would then arrange for the child support payments to begin.

One day, about 9 months later, he came home to his confused wife.
‘Honey’, she said, ‘you received a very strange post card today’.
‘Oh, really? Let me see…’, he said.
The wife gave it to him and watched as her husband read the card, turned white, and fainted.
On the card was written:

‘Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti.

Two with meatballs, one without.
Send extra sauce.’

HA HA HA.

My Book Box

2008-05-30T20:42:00.000-07:00

I started (re)reading "Inkheart". Have you ever read a book over and over, and then you read it one time and things start to open in your mind. Well, this time around, as I was reading the book, something just struck out and hit me. Meggie, the daughter in the story, has a box of books. The books in the box are books that are her "go to books" the books that she takes on trips, her trusted friends.

So I thought about what would be in my box of books, my trusted go to books, that even after reading them a million times, I still find new insights into the story. Here are my book box choices.

- Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card
- Inkheart - Cornelia Funkë
- All seven Harry Potter books - J.K. Rowling (like you guys didn't know that)
- The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho
- And Then There Were None - Agatha Christie
- The Seventh Son - Orson Scott Card.

The latest entry into my box:
- The Looking Glass Wars - Frank Beddor

Well anyone who is willing to share.... TAG YOU'RE IT!!!

Till next time,

Ryan's Lost Theories

2008-05-29T16:19:00.000-07:00

I love the show LOST. I also love listening to "Lost Podcast with Jay and Jack", and all the crazy thoughts and theories that are presented to us twice weekly. But I can't help but think that some of the theories are just flat out wrong. So I have taken the time to surf the lostpedia.com website, to find questions that I feel we really need answers to.

-Do Jack's tattoos really mean anything or were they filler?

Just filler... not very relevant to anything else in the story. Sure they translate into "Stranger in a Strange Land", but come on now do we really need to go in depth and find out why he has those? NO, because the island poses enough of mystery let along a some ink on an arm.

-Whose funeral did Jack go to?

There are a few answers this question and I will try to explain each to the best I can. We know that it is a him, and we know that the funeral takes place in LA. We can also assume that this person is either not liked very much or under a false name. (1)Ben. Living up to his word Ben in fact kills Penny, which he then is killed by Desmond. (2)Desmond. After Ben kills Penny, Desmond is distraught, and decideds to kill Ben. Downside being that Ben can't die and there for kills Desmond. (3)Feraday. He just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Why isn't it Michael, aka Kevin Johnson? Well when and if the ship explodes... Michael is blown to bits and therefore nothing can be buried, no? Why not Walt? Well Walt is currently living in NY with his grandma. So if it was him there would be at least 2 other people there at his funeral.

-Who did Sarah, Jack wife, leave Jack for?

Daniel Feraday? Yup that is right. It's Daniel Feraday. She leaves Jack for Daniel because she likes the nerdy types, and because she is feeling charitable after Jack saved her life (and walking ability) she turns and wants to help others too.

-Why was Kate in Australia?

She was searching for a distant family relation named Frank Duckett. Yes that same Shrimp Shack Owner that gets shot by Sawyer in the first season. He would be the one to take her in and help her stay underground for a few years.

-How did any of the Losties survive the implosion of the Hatch?

Charlie, Eko, Desmond, Locke, were at that time divinely saved by the island.

-Why did the Smoke Monster let Eko live during his first encounter but killed him during their second encounter?

Eko wasn't a threat until later. Eko was also needed in order to spur Locke into shutting him out of the hatch which in result caused the implosion of the hatch. Once this even occurred Eko had served his purposed and was then considered a threat. Remember the Smoke Monster is a Security Device controlled by Ben.

-Why is his nickname "Hurley"?

He had a problem with bulimia a few years before the Deck accident. BTW we will never learn anything else about the deck accident... not at least until the series is over and fan fiction picks up Hurley's story.

-Was Ben really coming to recruit Locke?

Yes, Ben knew that Locke was chosen by the island.

-If so, why was Locke not on Jacob's list?

Those on the list had a special purpose, aka the special purpose of Ben and the others. Jack was on the list to help Ben out with his Back, Sawyer and Kate where to be used as guinea pigs for Ben to see if two non-islanders could conceive a baby. Locke had even more of a special purpose than the rest, which is what we are seeing now in this season as well as the end of last season.

-Why can't the others multiply?

Same reason they can't get old. They are immortal. By this it doesn't mean that they can't die, as we saw last season, the others can die. It just means that they are stuck in a place in time which keeps them from growing old, and reproducing. The losties are not from the island and therefore not immortal so they can reproduce, as we have seen with Claire, Jin, and Sun.

- Will we see Mikhail again?

Yes. He is still alive and we will see him in tonights finale!

That's it for now... I don't want to unleash all my theories all at once... I don't want to seem like I can see into the future or anything.

LOST... BUT TOO TIRED

2008-05-27T21:19:00.000-07:00

I know that I promised a few people a Lost theory post... but I'm too stinking tired. I'll do it tomorrow morning.

Ciao Ciao Ciao

One Show America Needs

2008-04-29T18:19:00.000-07:00

I don't know how many of you know this but I love British Comedy. The success of British comedy may have something to do with them playing against the stereotype of them being a congenial, and polite people.

Two of my favorite movies are "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz" both staring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. One thing that most British comedy lovers don't know is that they met and co-stared in a TV series called "Spaced".

Below is a clip from the second season of Spaced. You may also notice that the girl, named Daisy, with Simon Pegg, is none other than Jessica Hynes who not only co-wrote "Spaced" with Simon, but also plays Yvonne in "Shaun of the Dead".

You may notice that the title of this post is "One Show America Needs". I do believe that America needs this show, however I don't need a crappy butchered American version. We need this version. (For more on this look for "My Beef Number 2")

Enjoy.

Cats and their Engineers

2008-04-13T16:46:00.000-07:00

I was reading one of my favorite blogs: Doobybrain.com and upon this site was posted a video that made me laugh so hard that Karen looked sideways at me. (needless to say it is funny. especially coming from a cat owner and lover.)

Well here is it.

Enjoy.

My Beef Number 1

2008-04-10T21:56:00.000-07:00

Hybrid Cars... I HATE THEM!!!

Not because they are vehicles of the "Go Green Satan" known as Al Gore. But because the drivers are absolute idiots! I think that part that I hate the most about the cars themselves is that when they are driving through parking lots they are almost completely silent. I have almost been hit by one multiple times because I couldn't hear them coming.

I don't care too much about the appearance of the cars, except for the Toyota Prius. It looks like a mis-shapened pineapple with four wheels. The part that makes me laugh the most about the Prius is that the owners pay about 25,000 plus so that they pay less at the pump. But in order for the Prius owners have to own their cars for at least 15 years, before they can even get close to breaking even. But by that time they will need to replace the battery or other parts of their Green Machine.

My absolute favorite thing to hate about these cars is that the government sees fit to bestow on these Carbon Footprint Erasing people is that nasty little yellow sticker that allows them to drive in the carpool lane, because they don't use less gas and are there for able to have cheating privileges. However as every hybrid owner knows once the hybrid vehicle reaches 40 MPH+ the electric motor shuts off and the gas engine kicks in. Strange that doesn't sound like it's saving gas or the O-zone at all. Now does it? Prius' have also been said to get 40+ Miles per Gallon. But my 2005 Honda Civic (non-hybrid) gets between 35-40 mpg all on it's own.

The worst part about the government giving people these stickers is that they still choose NOT to drive in the carpool lane during rush hour traffic. No, that would be too awesome by getting out of the way. No, they choose to drive 55 in the middle lane, or if they are feeling really awesome that day they drive 50 in the far right lane, thus becoming a rolling road block instead of using the sticker that they have to pay extra for each year.

I hope that the Prius owners who read my blog get their heads back on their shoulders and realize that Al Gore is a bigger liar than Bill Clinton. And God Bless everyone who drives a sensible non-hybrid vehicle, and who doesn't get ensnared by the scare tactics of conglomerate companies, that constantly bully consumers into thinking that the world will fizzle and fry, and that we will all end up living on rafts in search of fresh water... Ala Waterworld.

Until Next time... That's My Beef!!!!

TMBG

2007-10-01T08:27:00.000-07:00

I love They Might Be Giants. For my birthday this year my folks bought tickets to see They Might Be Giants at the Rio theater in Santa Cruz. Every time I have seen them they do nothing but impress and wow the crowd. They have a new album out called the Else. The video below is, one of their singles off the album, called "The Shadow Government." Also when you have a chance click over to their website at www.tmbg.com.

There was another band there that has got to be "my new favorite band of right now." That in my book is a prestigious title. (but I'll explain why in a later entry) The band is from Belfast, Ireland. They are called Oppenheimer. They have a self-titled album out now and it is incredible. On it they have a lot of great songs including my favorite "Saturday Looks Bad To Me." Get music check them out. I would tell you who they sound like or, in what type of music they play, but I hate making comparisons of one band to another, I just don't feel right doing so. I will tell you that they are a semi-electric indie. Great great stuff. I'll try and find a video of Oppenheimer to post for your viewing pleasure.

Laters,

Ryan

Nicknames

2007-09-13T12:49:00.000-07:00

I was sitting on the john today thinking about nicknames. I was thinking about all the nicknames that I have ever had. Some good, some bad, and some that made me wonder how I earned that nickname in the first place. I don't know what lead me to the thought process of old nicknames but it was fun to think about these names.

My early childhood nicknames are still around. They consist of cute pet names that my mom and dad called me. Including some childish names that my siblings and I threw back and forth. I never really got any nicknames from first through eighth grade, and then high school started. There weren't that many, but unlike earlier nicknames these floated away into the graveyards of failed nicknames.

I think my least favorite nicknames were when I first started a full time nine to five job once I graduated. I was the FNG, and there wasn't a single person at my works who would let me forget it. They would call: tiger, sport, noobie, new guy, shorty, and my personal favorite FNG. Now that I'm just a tad bit older the nicknames have all but dropped off, except for those that I embrace and actually enjoy. Many of you may ask what my nicknames are...

I'll never tell unless you know me.

Ciao ciao for now.

My Tarot Card

2007-08-03T14:27:00.000-07:00

I don't believe in tarot card readings at all, or any of the crazy future readings or any of that crap. But this is who I am if i were to be a tarot card.

You are The Magician

Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.

Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing,
you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.

The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.

What Tarot Card are You?

Intro to me

2007-07-02T20:40:00.000-07:00

I have finally decided that I am going to restart my blog and to the delight of my dad free up some space on his server. I hope that it is interesting to someone other than myself. I don't really read others blogs, but I hope to use this blog to open a window into my life. Please bear with me, I am very computer savvy but when it comes to internet based applications, I suck! I'll probably get my wife, One Plain Jane, to help me with this, cause she has been doing this whole blog thing for about 8 months now. Even though she doesn't think so I think that she is a pro.

That's it for now. I hope that I'll be able to keep this going, unlike my last blog. I have had it for about 2 years now, but I only posted about 5 times. Oh well, Che será.

Ciao, Ciao
