An excellent quote
"To err is human, but if you want to really screw up, use a computer."

YAAAAY 100th post!
My favorite word would have to be "booger," simply because it makes little sense. Plus, it is one of the few which sounds strange even without repetition.
The ending "er" denotes one that performs the action suggested in the main part of the word, and yet... how does one boog? And, if the verb "to boog" means to attach oneself to the inner surface of a mucuous membrane, then truly there must be very few things which are capable of booging.
And so one may conclude that that which boogs is really quite rare, thus why we never hear the word used in its verb form.

Dammit Mr. Smith!
My job is not being very fun today...
I am on the Consumer Advocacy Team with Verizon; my new job is to look for customers who have either: A) called more than 4 times the preceding day, and B) have been affected by a DSL service outage. Usually this new job duty is pretty rewarding, but sometimes, I just run across a customer who is truly a lost cause.
...such as Mr. Smith.
He called in to our tech support center a few days ago, stating that every time he restarted his computer he would lose his wireless connection. Not only would the wireless not connect, but the computer would not recognize the wireless card. The first few agents informed him that the issue is definitely in the computer itself, but he didn't want to hear that. Eventually, one of our agents from our Mexico City call center sent him to our ordering department to purchase a new modem and new wireless adaptor cards.
He was on my callback list on Tuesday, 05/08/07; I called him and suggested again that the issue is with his computer. However, since he had already ordered the replacement equipment, I told him to go ahead and see if he can get it to work with those, and if it does not work to call his computer manufacturer.
Well, he is on my callback list again today. He recieved the new equipment, and completely ignored the advice I gave him. He has since called back in 11 times, still for the same issue! I really do not feel like calling this lost cause customer AGAIN.... >:(

What... the Hell...?!
This gets my vote for strangest news story of the day:
Sudanese man's spouse, a goat, dies this morning of asphyxiation.
I thought this story was just a joke at first, but after looking into the story a bit, I can sadly confirm it is true. My (in)sincere condolences go out to Mr. Tombe at the loss of his (overly) beloved farm animal.

I am eating my food is eating my bowl?
They say that no matter how long you live, you learn something new every day... well, this was my day to learn...
IF THE STYROFOAM CUP NOODLES WITH KIMCHI BROTH SAYS "DO NOT MICROWAVE," THEN DO NOT MICROWAVE!!! D:<
*ahem*
Usually, when preparing instant cup noodles, the method of preparation would be no big deal. However, as I peeled the shrink-wrap off of my lunch, a bowl of delicious shrimp and kimchi ramen, I couldn't help but notice the instructions' insistence on putting boiling water into the container. There were no microwave instructions, but I figured "hey, it's just cup noodles, right?" and promptly stuck it in the microwave. Hey, I was hungry and had no means of boiling water!
Upon taking the bowl out of the microwave, I didn't notice anything too unusual... but AS I WAS EATING IT, apparently microwaving activates the acidity in the kimchi, and the broth began to eat the bowl. Usually, if a container is not made to be microwaved, it will begin its disintegration while STILL IN THE MICROWAVE. However, this time I had the opportunity to watch a show with my meal. It was more fascinating than what was on TV, anyway!
Well, I managed to eat quite a bit before I noticed the fact that my noodles' broth was eating the bowl (faster than I was eating them!) So now, a few hours after lunch, I'm left oddly full, and with the aftertaste of packing peanuts. Delicious!

Transformers... SHOES?! (0_o)
Proof that Capitalism is indeed alive and well! :D
Apparently, in the interest of making as much money as possibe by combining two highly sought-after manufactured types of goods from two economically strong nations (giant robots for Japan, and overpriced athletic footwearfor America), Takara and Nike have joined forces to create what their executives assume will be the top product of the year:
That's right, Transformers sneakers.
In the box with each pair of these snazzy Transformers-themes kicks, there will be included a SMALLER, TRANSFORMABLE TOY modeled after the shoes it is included with! And the real kicker (pun intended): The robot transformations are WEARING THE SHOES THAT THEY TRANSFORM INTO.
Here are some pictures from a Japanese site where I came across this news story:
So far, only Optimus Prime and Megatron have been announced; but considering the incredibly persistent nature of both companies' advertising and merchandising departments, I'd say it's a safe bet that there will be more.

And, since everyone's probably sick and tired of looking at cutesy stuff all day, here's something for ya!
Happy Valentine's Day!!!! :D

I am quite amused
One of my friends sent me this screencap from one of the _chan boards; it amused me greatly.
Why does this amuse me? Well, for the answer to that, one needs simply to look here. I drew the image which ended up appearing in the thread; and it is so old and lame that I do not care that it was posted, and I find it actually pretty awesome that some people seem to like it. What started out as the product of a bored mind visualizing an incredibly lame pun ended up as a fairly entertaining post. If anyone knows which board it was posted in, I'm kind of interested in knowing (I can't think of any where the /w/ url extension would be anything remotely related except for maybe 7chan, but it wasn't on there when I checked...).
This pleases me, yes...
