Topical Chat, May 19, 2005

I'm not sure if I will get enough "interesting" news items to have another post on Friday, so this may be the last topical chat until after Memorial Day:

1. On China worried about the melting Everest glaciers:
"Since when has China been worried about anything environmental?"

2. On a Columbian town making gossip a crime:
"If you think that's bad, you should see what they do to you if you fib."

3. On a former Budweiser supervisor being fired for drinking a Coors:
"Good thing he didn't embarrass himself by drinking a real beer."

4. On Peta accusing a lab of punching a monkey:
"Thank goodness Peta doesn't know my address, because I 'punch the monkey' all the time, if you know what I mean."

5. On the Riddler from the Batman T.V. series dying:
"Looks like our caped-crusader finally got his man."

6. On the new gaming "wars," with the introduction of the PS3 and the X-Box 360:
"I'm sure the prices for the systems and the games will initially be very reasonable."

7. On Ebay starting on cable television soon:
"I think this might be one of the signs of the apocolypse."

8. On a place in Aspen, Colorado, called "Toasty Chicks," in which women in snug t-shirts deliver food:
"As if Aspen didn't have enough reasons for people to visit."

1. As long as they have Bamboo, screw the world!

2. Next, free-will will be illegal.

3. Both Bud and Coors taste like crap. Want a real beer? Try Guiness you sissies.

4. Punch the monkey, smack the weasel, choke the chicken. Seems every guy abuses animals.

5. Here's a riddle for ya: What's green and black and buried six feet in the ground?

6. Consumer: Yes, I'd like to purchase a PS3.
Seller: Ok, the cost is your first born child.
Consumer: That's all? SCORE!

7. Um. What?

8. "Um, yes, I'd like to order a Breast Sandwich... er, I mean Chicken Breast Sandwich with a side order of nipples, I mean nachos!"

1. I say we use a giant space lazer to speed up the process and take out those chinese sons-of-a-bitches.

2. I'm sure the venezuelan rebels will strike down this law once they overthrow the Columbian government.

3. Somehow miller needs to make it's way into this story. And yes, I perfer real beers as well. I hear guiness is much better where they don't pasturize the hell out of it (hint: not here)

4. On a similar note, Peta is now a terrorist organization... I think there was a CNN article on it this morning.

5. Since this happened in the 1960s, I can't really comment.

6. from a Nintendo fanboy: los- you can't forget about the nintendo revolution. It can supposedly play all previous legacy nintendo games via download as well as gamecube discs. Finally some backwards compatibility from nintendo. PS3 looks pretty insane though.

7. ...and coming soon to a tv near you- the blog network!!!

8. when i think toasty- i think quiznos. couldn't they think of a better name? it's like the los angeles angels of anaheim.
