Game for the logical (trial and error) brain
This takes brains and time so if you don't have both; stay away!
It took me a while to figure this one out

These have been posted before, but they're worth another look.
Just watch this guy dance, David Elsewhere.
Watch for the second contestant in the red shirt...
Here's some more of Elsewhere, aka Badass, aka Joe Seale's lost triplet.
More of the bone-less one...

"the negative impacts of cellular technology on the human psyche"
(hang up and pull your car back into your lane)
initial notes: the point of this paper is not to fairly balance the pros and cons of cell phone use. refer to the title for more clarification. also, i understand cell phones to be tools and i know guns don't kill people, crazy guys in alanta courthouses kill people, or something like that.
the widespread use of mobile communication devices has negatively affected the human race in three distinct ways. it has further destroyed the present tense by decreasing time spent in the moment, it has systematically reduced self-reliance, and has decreased efficient in the area of time management.
all spaces can be categorized as either destination spaces or circulation spaces. destination spaces are defined as places where actives of human interest occur. circulation spaces are the areas in between destination spaces that serve as transit corridors between them. your kitchen where you cook and your bedroom where you sleep are destination spaces. the hall that connects them is a circulation space. circulation can be enjoid but the point is always to get somewhere you are not. the goal is to be somewhere else in the future. cell phone use further removes the focus of the present from our ever-increasing amount of time spent circulating. the effect of cell phones on destination spaces is even more dramatic as it removes the person from their intended task, be it cooking or sleeping, and transports them to an alternative reality if only for a brief time. repeated transports diminish the capacity for the individual to focus and enjoi their task. as i listened to my mother on her cell phone chatter on about something my sister could have told her later that night at dinner, i realized she was missing a beautiful sunset as well as the opportunity to talk to her son in person.
large emergencies are often mitigated by someone’s ability to call for help. cell phones increase the ability of an individual to call louder and further for assistance. smaller crises however are often the tools by which we learn to negotiate the unpredictable world in which we live. without exposure to these trials, people lose the opportunities they need to learn skills that will come in handy in the future when other problems arise. reliance on cell phones therefore can lead to a reduction in general competence and an ever increasing population of specialists. our world is still far too random to rely too heavily on others for everything. a friend once told me that i will believe differently when my daughter turns 16 and begins driving a car. he said i will want her to have a cell phone so she can call for help when she has a flat tire. i responded that when my daughter begins to drive, i will teach her how to change a tire.
the idea that cell phones increase time efficiently is a myth perpetuated by specific situations that do not parallel an individual's overall use of time. in certain circumstances, time is saved by the ability to call for directions or add to a grocery list but what is left unexamined is the overall effect this ability has on the time management skills of those who rely heavily on this capability. people dependent on cell phones begin to give less consideration to those details that allow them to operate in a smooth and efficient manner. the ability to talk with virtually anyone at virtually any time causes individuals not to consider prudent planning. this leads to more delays that would have been eliminated through thoughtful planning. the occasional delay that taught someone to be prudent with his/her use of time is eliminated. time lost to subsequent delays caused by reliance on this ability occurs in small increments but when totaled up, exceed the amount of time saved by cell phones. net loss of time occurs.
cellular technology has reduced overall focus on life in the moment. it has diluted our ability to do for ourselves and has replaced effective time management with constant, chaotic communication.
on a personal note, i will get a cell phone. i am waiting for one that can call, photography, video, broadcast radio, play recorded music, access the internet, allow me to send and receive emails and has a range of more than 95% of my daily geography. An alarm, sweet ring tones and the ability to make a mean omelet should go without saying.
thanks for listening.

That's hot...
So a commercial for Hardee's starring everyone's favorite brain-surgeon, Paris "That's Hot" Hilton, managed to get enough hot-and-bothered lads to visit their website that it crashed the servers... Just to be sure that Hardees is ok and I'd be able to get breakfast in the morning, I checked the site out too...

Hello friends,

The most disgusting picture ever
EDIT: He's not lying. This is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen and you may not want to see it at all... I mean I'm putting a fucking extra warning on this thing, if that doesn't tell you something right there. It's not disgusting like violent, it's disgusting like Japanese freaky porn disgusting. Thanks Spicer, you freak.

Finally a skiing video game worth playing!
EA SPORTS - It's In The Game
As someone who has very little time to play the games that I already have, I rarely get excited anymore about new games coming out. This, however, is different.
I actually bought and loved the previous version of this game, SSX3, and it was nothing but knuckle-dragging snowboarders. Despite this, it rocked. But the new version is SSX: on Tour, and it has Skiers! Finally, I'll be able to huck a fatty with mad amplitude in a 1080, corked-out, Japan Air fakey!!!
That's what I'm fuckin' talkin' about! I'm totally stoked, put on some J5...

Ouch, my pussy hurts...
Who's ready for football season?
After reading this I immediately chugged a Budweiser and dug a hole with a big shovel. I also spit a big hocker and thought about sex.
Three times.
In one minute.

SunCom, doesn't get it...
Disclaimer: Sorry for the language, it's derrty.
These fuckers are taking over my service from AT&T Wireless (not Cingular) and are telling me I need to trade in my phone for a free one that will work on their system. MY phone will no longer work with MY provider. What kind of crock of shit is this! Kiss MY ass SunCom. Harry Conick jr can lick my balls if he thinks humming along with a bullshit cell company will make his ass any more popular. Stick to Nawlins bitch!
And SunCom can take their free comparable phone and shove it in their ass. I'm leaving that shit.

The media controls what you see.......
"Conspiracy Theory Rock" by Robert Smigel was shown on "Saturday Night Live" during the March 14, 1998 broadcast but edited out of reruns.
It's amazing how a couple huge corporations can control a whole society. Food for thought.
High Speed
MY FIRST TRY ON POSTING
This is cool.
It was taken with technology called the flight follower system. The camera is stationary and the event is followed with a scanning mirror placed in front of the camera. Notice the visual shock waves.
If you enjoyed that; look at this.
If I could borrow this camera; I would be able to show you how my cat like reflexes allow me to catch a fly or bitch slap yo ass without you seeing my hand move.

Some congrats to pass along...
So it seems a good amount of things have been going down recently and I thought I'd say congrats to the following folks.
I know I've forgotten some stuff that's worthy of more congrats, but I've been interupted too many times while writing this to regain focus... but then again, that's what you're here for!
Congrats you crazy kids!
- Congrats to Joe and Caroline on closing on their new place (tomorrow I believe), I look forward to a full report from Joe right here at Tripplink and hope to see the place in person before too long. Joe's also expecting to hear back from Julius Hodge about being his publicist. He's down to the final half of applicants not applying.
- Congrats to young Kevin Knapsack for graduating from Carnegie-Melon business school this week as well as closing on his own apartment in Chicago. I hear he will be making the short commute to New York City every morning... No word on how Simbix did in the beer-pong contest.
- Not to be outdone, Pope's dirty ass will be heading off to MIT in July for his own stint with business school in Boston along with his newly appointed fiance JB. Now what's more shocking: Pope's going to MIT or that someone agreed to marry his dirty ass? I know, that's a hard one...
- Congrats to Spicer on entering his journal contest, we're all pulling for you to do better than you did in the diary contest last year.

Funny websites if you need a laugh

Poor Oliver...this makes me cry from laughing so hard.
http://maddox.xmission.com/
Random but sarcastic and quite hilarious. I particularly recommend scrolling down to the classics and looking at the childrens artwork and "i am better than your kids"
Enjoy and be thankful that you are not in Cleveland, OH.

Touche! Dave Chappelle's not on Crack OR in an institution!
I'm not a crackhead, I just play one on TV!
Glad to hear Dave's getting a refill of spirit from his Muslim buddy, rather than getting wet with Wayne Brady.
If that Salim kid makes Dave unfunny with all that Muslim shit, I'm really gonna get bitter... Stay strong Dave!

NFL Roy Williams tries to get attention back from unc Royboy
By making this completely badass catch. In Practice. (video)
This is sick. Better yet, when was the last time you saw a coach get that excited in the NFL about a play in practice?
Back on top of the Roy Williams...
Back to looking for another 12 NBA players for the ACC...

Look out Mr. Chelsea!

Some of us are looking for roommates...
Get a Ninja for a roommate! (video)
You can't beat a ninja roommate: clean, quiet, and you never know he's there. Much better than a sumo wrestler for a roommate!

I'm quitting my job to be like this guy
Breakdancing is cool again... not that it ever wasn't... (video clip)
This is Junior. He is a badass breakdancer that can do things that Gumby can't. Plus, Gumby has no rhythm... Pokey carried his ass in You Got Served 3: Stop the Commotion, Stop-motion!.

Site will be customized...
With a less generic look and links to all of our faves... Just need for work to slow down a bit.
Thanks to Eric Layton for keeping tabs on Goat Rapists...
Rednecks with night vision watched Red Dawn too many times...
This is quite the entertaining story of a lonely, drunk immigrant, a redneck with night vision and a goat that walks funny...
This is quite the entertaining story of a lonely, drunk immigrant, a redneck with night vision and a goat that walks funny...
I thought it'd be cool if we could all keep in touch...
This blog will allow my peeps to post interesting, cool, random or relevant articles, announcements and comments all at one website.
All you will need is an account with me ( and Blogger I think). But anyway, instead of email, this is a little more interactive and a good place to find all sorts of stuff that we pass around...
More to come!
