Forwards from Phil: Mar. 3, 2008
March 3rd, 2008 by PhilWoo! Welcome to March! Springlike temperatures ahoy! (For a couple days, anyway…) Oh, and I think St. Paddy’s Day is coming up soon. Nothing like getting crunk in the middle of the week.
BRAWL COUNTDOWN: 6 more days.
- Dear HP: it has been three months since I last saw my laptop…
- This is fun: Cash Tomato (who picks these names?), a Youtube competitor, threw cash at people in New York and started a completely predictable riot. Funny part: probably no one who was there will ever visit Cash Tomato.
- Want to learn stuff not worth doing? Here’s a list of obsolete skills.
- Apparently a tiny art museum was smuggled to the moon. NASA decided not to go forward with the project, so an unnamed engineer took six drawings by then-contemporary artists such as Andy Warhol and smuggled them to the moon on the leg of the Lunar Lander. And now it’s up in friggin’ space! How cool is that?
- From the ‘can’t make this shit up’ department: a motivational coaching company in Utah allegedly used waterboarding as a motivational technique. The idea was that salespeople should understand they need to fight to make sales as much as they worked to breathe.
Christopherson led the sales team to the top of a hill near the office and told Hudgens to lie down with his head downhill, the suit claims. Christopherson then told the rest of the team to hold Hudgens by the arms and legs. Christopherson poured water from a gallon jug over Hudgens’ mouth and nostrils - like the interrogation strategy known as “waterboarding” - and told the team members to hold Hudgens down as he struggled, the suit alleges.
“At the conclusion of his abusive demonstration, Christopherson told the team that he wanted them to work as hard on making sales as Chad had worked to breathe while he was being waterboarded,” the suit alleges.
- Best. Celebrity. Endorsement. Ever.
- Behold, an abomination constructed of Lucky Charms marshmallows!
- Remember when Mastiff purchased the Major League Eating franchise rights? Yeah, it’s gonna be a WiiWare game. Right, so, I’ll probably be picking up Blast Works and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King and nothing else if this is the unadulterated crap we have to look forward to.
- Well, that’s a new excuse: man beats wife, blames it on gas prices.
