What are your worst tunes on your MP3 player?

Today was the launch of the new Apple iPod range over in the states. Needless to say there were good and bad products shown here, the highlight being the iPod Touch thing, which I’m sure people will quickly snap up only to realise that touchscreen’s aren’t too COOL in use. The iPod Touch doesn’t have that much storage space either, well for some people anyway. For those who require over 16GB of space for their albums, they’ll have to carefully manage what goes onto their new iPod. Anyway, over on our quakenet channel where most of us old-school gamers chat and complain about life in general, PR was getting rather amped up about the new iPod despite stating he wasn’t wanting one.

An hour later after the Apple announcement ended, he’s started pruning away at his iPod music collection… So what follows are various snippets cut out of the channel, because some of the tracks PR has puts my collection to shame!. Let the shaming begin!

Thinks he knows you better than you know yourself then picks on small details to support his impressions. He will try to interpret everything through one lens. For example, if he’s afraid of being betrayed he’ll always think of you as the woman who’s going to two-time him. The more you struggle to define your role in relation to this man, the more you could feel trapped. In other words, he’s an insecure arse hiding behind large words.

Erk!

Now we all like to play little pranks or jokes at friends at work don’t we? Course we do! My last one involving me squirting shaving foam into a colleagues lunchtime jogging trainers was a classic. However my most recent one kind of backfired in a hilarious way.

Lets call the victim Timmay! Now Timmay and myself have been doing practical jokes against each other for sometime now. He has just replaced the mouse on my desk at work with a 3-Button one!  Now, last week he returned from his three day holiday very red faced and rather angry at me. I shall now explain. Before Timmay went on his holiday, I used some masking tape to fasten a small sheet of paper with "KICK MEH!"  written on it, on to his suit jacket. I did this safely assuming that he would go shopping at the end of the day like he always does.

Timmay went to a funeral…

Poor Eeyore

This is from a chat session on IRC just last week. Myself, PR and Soth attempt to fool poor Eeyore into thinking his IRC client was broken. I think we did a rather good job as he was getting rather annoyed at not being able to decipher what we were on about :)

He’s already made my stonecold dad laugh

One of this Xmas’s hottest presents, the TMX Elmo is in my possession! Didn’t take too long to find to be honest, and I thought he’d be quite a headache to obtain. Massive thanks to the folks at dontdosocks.co.uk who had it delivered hilariously fast in just 24hrs.

The pesky Elmo has already made my dad burst out laughing and I tell ya - this man never ever smiles, he’s on permanent anger mode most of the time. Upon seeing Elmo rolling about on the table laughing away, my dad crumbled into a 10yr old child and sniggered helplessly. Just wait till the ladies at work see my Elmo… *snicker*

Saw this story earlier this morning and it had me in complete hysterics.

SYDNEY, Australia - A 22-year-old man attempted to drive 310 miles in reverse on a remote Outback highway after his transmission failed, blocking his forward gears, police said Friday. The man was stopped by Western Australia state police on Thursday afternoon after they spotted his car roaring in reverse down the highway at about 40 mph, according to a statement.

pink psp

What next? Neon colours?

So, here I am pondering as to why the new current trend for electronic gadgets, is to have them PINK. I mean, it’s a crap colour, is an eyesore and will NOT attract members of the opposite sex, if that should happen then they’ve clearly escaped from the loony asylum. I cannot even comprehend to understand who would buy such items, let alone why.

So, recently of late there has been quite a few toys appearing in pink form:

A Pink Playstation 2
A Pink Playstation Portable (PSP)
A Pink DS Lite
and a Pink Creative Zen Vision:M

There was a time when white was the cool in thing after the flood of iPods, but now that has been replaced by the most pathetic colour ever. It’s not fashionable, it sucks and anyone who uses such a colour is a pleb. So, if you know of any gadgets that have recently gone PINK, let me know. Let’s name and shame them!

Saw this on Yahoo, and thought it was incredibly cute!  It’s a gopher tortoise moving towards the space shuttle Discovery at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canavera, Florida. At 18:40 GMT (14:40 EDT) the delayed space shuttle blasted off skywards towards the International Space Station (ISS). Happy Independence Day US readers!
