Topical Chat, February 6, 2008
Football season is finally over … unless you consider the Pro Bowl an important game … and if you do, I don’t think I want to be friends with you.
1. On the FBI embarking on a $1 billion effort to build the world's largest computer database of peoples' physical characteristics, a project that would give the government unprecedented abilities to identify individuals in the United States and abroad:
“Yes sir, nothing like less government …”

2. On a guy who collected 65 classic arcade games, and built a private 2,400 square foot arcade with black lights and 80's soundtrack:
“God, what I would give to have Pac Man fever just one more time!”
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/02/02/ST2008020201061.html
3. On a recent poll which found that one in four people think that Winston Churchill never existed but Sherlock Holmes did:
“They must’ve polled former 700-level Eagles season ticket holders …”

4. On a female bartender who served a customer Pine-O-Cleen disinfectant:
“The thing is that when the customer has a bowel movement, the toilet actually gets cleaner …”

5. On the decrease in popularity of Pancake Day:
“It looked like Tom Brady was ‘celebrating’ this on Sunday …”

6. On the Dutch unveiling a course to help residents overcome their pathological fear of blushing:
“No wonder Austin Powers’ dad hated the Dutch so much!”

7. On thousands of football fans in northwest Arkansas missing the first half of Super Bowl XLII because of a technical issue at a local television station:
“This HAS to be an exaggeration … I mean, less than 5% of people in Arkansas don’t even have electricity, right?”

4 guys/gals who rule
4 Comments:
1. Does that mean we can learn someone's, ahem, dimensions from a Freedom of Information Act Request?
2. Pac Man fever? You mean getting arrested at strip clubs?
3. They all recognize John Holmes.
4. He hosed down the bathroom, literally.
5. Sausage Day still popular.
6. Isn't that the country with decriminalized hookers and pot?
7. How many TV stations do you think they have out there?
On #2 - and said guy is 45 years old and never touched a woman.
Football? Is this the American version you are refering to which entails several average sized people padded up to resemble a deformed hulk and wearing crash helmets in case they run into inanimate objects such as goal posts and the only one who actually does anything vaguely related to football is a chap who runs out occasionally similarly attired to the 'hulks' in order to kick the odd shaped ball? The Giants said some'at about being World Champions? Which bit of the world would that be then?
Now. Real football is the England team......
.....shit
quit while you're ahead Dinners....
1. On the FBI embarking on a $1 billion effort to build the world's largest computer database of peoples' physical characteristics, a project that would give the government unprecedented abilities to identify individuals in the United States and abroad:
I once slightly knew a midget with a hunch back and a speech impediment. I don't think you'd need a computer to spot him...
2. On a guy who collected 65 classic arcade games, and built a private 2,400 square foot arcade with black lights and 80's soundtrack:
black lights? This must be a phenominum not yet witnessed over here. It'd be deemed racist for a start...
3. On a recent poll which found that one in four people think that Winston Churchill never existed but Sherlock Holmes did:
Most people under 25 in the UK think Churchill is a puppet bull dog that advertsises 'Churchill Insurance' on TV. In a survey a large number of kids thought Sherlock Holmes was Shakespeares mate and came from Venice. It took me a while to fathom out wtf they were trying to say....
4. On a female bartender who served a customer Pine-O-Cleen disinfectant:
Does it get you pissed? is the all important question.
5. On the decrease in popularity of Pancake Day:
I got three stuck on the ceiling breaking last years record of two and a bit.
6. On the Dutch unveiling a course to help residents overcome their pathological fear of blushing:
Not residents of Amsterdam surely. They're not blushing it's all those red lights....
7. On thousands of football fans in northwest Arkansas missing the first half of Super Bowl XLII because of a technical issue at a local television station:
Thousands of football fans tried to avoid watching England Vs Switzerland but the bloody thing was everywhere.
