Give it a try!

Dear Santa:

I know it's only May, and your big night is still months away. But I promise to be extra good if you could find room in your sleigh for one of these:

What's Long, Rigid, and Loaded with Seamen?

A new submarine, you pervert!

This badass little piece of military hardware was commissioned here in town this weekend. Unfortunately the event was invite-only, so we'll have to rely on the Star News's photos instead of any originals. I was able to get nowhere close. Still kinda pissed about that.

Is there anything more pointless than...

the "recall email" feature on Microsoft Outlook? I received two of these emails this week, and it's basically just a new message saying to ignore the first one. Isn't it just as easy to, oh I don't know, send out a new message saying "Sorry, ignore that last email I sent"?

It would be different if it actually sucked the original email out of the receiver's inbox, but it does nothing like that. If you email your boss to call him cock-sucking asshole, and then "recall" it, he's still going to see that you called him a cock-sucking asshole.

I don't get it.

(Now if I can only become the #1 Google result for a "cock-sucking asshole" search. Actually, on second thought, nevermind).

Come with me...and you'll be...in a world...of pure imagination

Imagine my surprise when I got home yesterday, only to find a huge commotion going on in front of New Brunswick County Hospital across the street from my apartment. The reasons for this were two-fold: One, when I left that morning there was no hospital across the street from my apartment. And two, the last time I checked there was no such thing as New Brunswick County (at least around these parts).

After a few inquires, it turns out that the Wilmington film industry is once again churning out something more that just One Tree Hill, and it's about freakin' time I might add. Apparently this particular project is a horror/slasher flick starring gruff-voiced rapper DMX. And "New Brunswick County Hospital" is actually the sciences building at Cape Fear Community College with a few temporary cosmetic upgrades. Here's a crappy pic:

5 Years Later...

Yep, five years.
