I thought this day would never get here! Not to mention this hour of the day.

Now get the hell out of the office and enjoy the rain. But, before you go, here’s a little something to help you to never forget. Please try to refrain from pronouncing that ‘e’ at the end. I hate it when people do that.

Have fun, folks. Do it for me. Looks like I’ll be busy working all weekend.

Castro Pranksters Fined

Thus spake Evil Overload
at 12:39 pm

Two radio DJ’s in Miami apparently prank-called Fidel Castro, pretending to be the President of Venezuela. They have been fined $4,000. Hehehe. I say it was worth it:

“You fell for it!” he [the dj] shouted.

“What did I fall for you s—-eater … you f—–!” an irate Castro shot back, in addition to some choice insults making reference to the mother of the caller.”

Wedding Dress on E-Bay

Thus spake Evil Overload

Check this out before the auction is over. This guy is selling his ex-wife’s wedding dress, trying to recoup his losses from the wedding. Hilarious!

“So, this is what I’m doing. I’m selling it hoping to get enough money for maybe a couple of Mariners tickets and some beer. This dress cost me $1200 that my drunken sot of an ex-father-in-law swore up and down he would pay for but didn’t so I got stuck with the bill. Luckily I only got stuck with his daughter for 5 years. Thank the Lord we didn’t have kids. If they would have turned out like her or her family I would have slit my wrists.”

in·sur·gen·cy

1. The quality or circumstance of being rebellious.

2. An instance of rebellion; an insurgence.

So if by insurgency they mean rebels, why doesn’t the media just say rebels? It’s four letters and 2 syllables shorter. The could save valuable airtime and column space, right?

Two Nuns are riding their bicycles down the back streets of Rome. One leans over to the other and says, “I’ve never come this way before.” The other nun whispers, “It’s the cobblestones.

Google is Taking Over the World

Thus spake Evil Overload
at 7:22 am

A compelling argument that Google is in the process of building a massive supercomputer that people can purchase accounts on, which serves up a custom operating system to the client. One day Windows may be replaced by GooOS. In not too many years, Google may be the internet. Link (via my.bicycle)

“Look around; the sarcasm of these label-makers is everywhere. When you buy a new jacket, the packet of silica gel preservative in the pocket will warn you it’s not for eating, in case you thought your jacket won some kind of free candy contest at the factory. Even Mr. Bubbles has a warning label saying, “DO NOT DRINK.” You know what, though? If someone’s trying to drink Mr. Bubbles, let them. They’re just going to eat something poisonous later that week, anyway, and at least with Mr. Bubbles, their corpse will squirt fun, delightful soap globes when the coroner throws it in the dumptruck marked, “Dumbass-related deaths.”

Churches prepare response to "The Da Vinci Code"

Thus spake Evil Overload
at 9:22 am

“In 13 months, readers have bought more than six million copies of the book, a historical thriller that claims Christianity was founded on a cover-up — that the church has conspired for centuries to hide evidence that Jesus was a mere mortal, married Mary Magdalene and had children whose descendants live in France.” Link

“…I have observed in my dissolute friends that one of the most dangerous things one can do is straighten out. Douglas Adams dropped dead while working out in the gym, a day after assuring me that I should try it myself. Jerry Garcia succumbed to a heart attack two weeks off dope. The craziest man I ever knew, Peter Sheridan, sorted himself out following years of legendary weirdness - he once stole Hunter Thompson’s press pass and used it to pull down Edwin Muskie’s pants while the latter was giving a speech - and almost immediately was broadsided on his motorcycle by a driver who’d run a red light. Shit can happen.”
