Note some of these links may not be safe for work.
Places I frequent on the Net are increasing pointing to funny little videos of people doing stupid things. It started with Skoopy, and moved on the eBaum's World. And from there is grew to include Useless Junk, Put File and now Big Boys. I'm not including sites like ifilm in here, cause they're mainly adverts and stuff like that. Now I don't have enough time to keep up with all these sites. Some of the movies are dupes anyway. But some of them are just too funny. These links are all available under the Humour section of my web links on my site.

LIFE - Sux!
Okay. The thing that sucks the most about getting older isn't that ya start to slow down and can't quite do everything you could when you were 17. I can deal with that. The thing that sucks the most is friends and family around you are getting sick, and some times dying. This suck arse!
PAINTBALL - Stuff
Travelled to Wellington to ref the Sire Cup 3-man event at TAG in Pomare and for team training after that. Was awesome to have everyone together. Crashed at the Muppet Mansion. Was cool to finally get to check the legendary site out. Talked crap. Watched Jawbreaker 4 (For the apparently fifth time at the mansion for the day). Darren made a cool curry. Look forward to moving down to Wellington so it's easier to meet up with everyone.
Was also round 3 of the AXL in Adelaide in Australia. Apparently Perth's first game of the event was scheduled for 0730 (WTF!?!?!?!?) against Sydney. Not all Perth's players were going to be able to get to the field by 0730, with some still arriving at the airport, and they'd only received the draw the day before. So the game was forfeited. Apparently Perth have walked away from the AXL as well. I'm thinking something about 'fart in a jar' or 'piss up in a brewery'. Actually, that's probably not quite fair. They did pull off a cool event in Sydney. But these are basic things to get right (Field designs and draws to people two weeks before an event). How hard can it be?

LIFE - Thanks Scotty
Unfortunately James Doohan has left us today. He died after a declining health from Parkinson's disease over the past few years. Guess I'm gonna have to watch some ST: ToS this evening.
PAINTBALL - Having an Ego can be a good thing
My baby arrived today. No, not that one. That's due middle of January. My Ego arrived today. A million thanks to everyone involved with getting her in to my possesion. Marty for his work on ordering her, working with Customs and the Police. Planet for marking such a sweet marker. Pirooz for buying my Angel (I'm Glad he's happy with her :-). And you for being on the other end of the field to wear my paint.
Shootin foo's...Shootin foo's...Word.

INTERWEB - You the man now dog
Alright. I'm a bit behind on this one. I was trying to find a pic of Vader going "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" from RotS for my blog last week (See below), and I stumbled across a site that I'd seen before, but hadn't taken any notice of, but I took a little more notice of it this time. The site is http://www.ytmnd.com. The site is "Your the man now dog" which is apparently a reference to some Sean Connery line from some movie. What the site is, is people make stupid little things. It's hard to describe. I'd recommend using the site in one of three ways:
1) Finding something you might specifically find funny: Google a word or group of words using the "site:ytmnd.com" parameter.
2) Just put a word in front of ytmnd.com, i.e. http://paintball.ytmnd.com (Not much effort in this one, but it works as an example)
3) Or just have a look at http://www.ytmnd.com

LIFE - A glutton for punishment
Right. Megz is out of town again. It's school holidays again, so Caliope is out of town again...So what are Lou and I to do? Off to The Classic again. Now some of you will remember our previous escapade. A small recap. Brendan Lovegrove was MC, and I took a tongue-in-cheek passing shot at his "lack of new material". So who is MC this evening? Why it's Brendan again! So what do I do? I point his "new material drought" again...;-)
Now Brendan got a bit of experience from last time. So rather than trying to specifically get at me, he just decided to have fun this time. First it was the hard hat. Then it was the eye patch. Then a flower lei and a sign which said "Fuckwit". I turned it over and wrote "STALKER" on it. Then came a metal bar, a fishing net, and an umbrella. Unfortunately in the dark, the photo didn't come out well.
The show itself was good. Some of the regulars. Some new stuff, some quite good and some average. We had a great night out, as we always do when we go to The Classic. Laughter is one of the most awesome things in the world.
Now one wouldn't expect Brendan to finish on a low note. So the coupe de grace was to bring me on stage at which point all the items above were removed. It was "Close your eyes and wait". A green shimmering blanket was placed over me, and then "THUNK", something was placed over my head, and the audience burst out laughing. They were enjoying it, so I tried to ham it up a little. The next thing I know, Brendan is behind me, whispers "Go with it", bends me over proceeds to start "rogering" me, and saying "How do you like this now? Is this what you wanted?!?!?!". The audience goes hysterical.
Afterwards we spoke and he thanked me for going along with it and said it was in the top list of funniest things he'd pulled off. Everyone was laughing, so it was cool. The Classic rocks.

LIFE - The proof
Oh...And biorhythms are bunk, but it's funny/scary how often when I check, that the readings seem kinda accurate.

PAINTBALL - 3-man Champions of the World
Played some 3-man with Stat and Pete Mumby (Running with Scissors) over the weekend in Hamilton at Skinny's 3-man series. Was pretty cool. Travelled down on Saturday and crashed at 'chelle's dad's place. Caught up with the boys which rocked. Watched the rugby. Played some ball, which we won. Really cool weekend.
And a big thanks to Tony Dickson for letting me borrow his Ego since mine was in Marty's car the whole frikken weekend*...;-) Definitely helped me enjoy the game more since I was expecting to use an Ego for the weekend. Egos rock man. No superfluous bling. No stupid fancy crap. They're all about shooting paint. Point, shoot, win. Gotta love it.
* It wasn't. This was his final wind-up for the weekend. I'm doing 100 lines on the chalk board:
I will never believe Marty again
I will never believe Marty again
I will never believe Marty again
…

LIFE - Uh oh...
Lucky me, looks like I'm coming down with the flu (Hope it's not this Influenza B). One of the guys at work is just getting over it, I started with a headache this morning which got steadily worse. This other guy gave me some Codral (Hmmm...Codeine :-). Unfortunately this headache is very persistent and keeps punching through my Codral induced head buzz...Dizzy and shakes, so we'll see how I get on.

LIFE - We're F#$%'d
Well. Now I'm a bit of a greenie at heart. I don't go hugging trees and protest in front of Foodtown for selling non-organic food. I try to reduce, reuse, recycle when I can, use public transport, not take trips I don't need to, don't waste electricity or water, my next house will be an energy efficient house, etc, etc, etc...
So a mate sends me this link, which is a "survey" to indicate how much of an impact your lifestyle has on our environment. My footprint was 6.5. If everyone in the world lived like me, we'd need 3.6 Earths to produce the resources I consume. I'm a bit alarmed. I look over my answers and think "What am I supposed to do?".
Upon reflection, there are two things here. 1) Not everyone in the world lives the life that I do. Unfortunately a lot of people drive SUVs everywhere they go, eat packaged, processed food all the time, leave the TV running all day, buy the latest trendy clothes each season to stay in fashion, and go through tons of rubbish each week. But there are a lot of people who live in mud huts and eat berries. And 2) so according to this survey, what have I got to do to get down to 1.0 Earths? Well it looks like I have to be a soap dodging, tofu munching luddite hippy living on a commune who never goes anywhere. What a load of bollocks. It would be nice if the suggestions at the end were some real life, practical suggestions that people would follow rather than "Move to the commune man. Peace out". I can't stand personal agendas. *sigh*.

LIFE - Right on the money
Wow! Unless you've been living under a rock (Or perhaps on a rock out somewhere), you're going to have seen some coverage of NASA's Deep Impact mission and its goal of slamming a projectile in to comet Temple 1 to see what happens. Great coverage could be found here at NASA and here at Space.com. Maximum respect to the scientists and engineers who pulled this off. A planned collision in space has never been done before, and they nailed it perfectly.
So that's yet another success for NASA following Spirit and Opportunity on Mars and the Cassini-Huygens missions at Saturn. Wow...
