According to this ‘blog, Andy Kaufman isn’t really dead, being snuck out of the hospital 20 years ago and having a dummied up death cert. hmmmm.
I read it. None of the pics showed up. There are some links to some news stories. But the cynic in me is crying bullshit! I’ll believe it when he shows up on David Letterman.
If you are asking yourself, “Self, what’s a Fry’s?” then press on faithful reader.
Actual name is Fry’s Electronics (list of locations can be found here, or online at outpost.com), just about the largest electronic stores ever invented! Need a stick of memory? A new DVD player? Perhaps one of those snazzy new SACD’s or DVD-Audio Discs? A Blender? A fridge? A hot adult dvd? Wash it all back with a box of redvines and a diet coke? Then this is your store friends!
Aisle upon aisle of electronic goodness, with prices that are really tough to beat. I have heard that Michael Fry is one shrewd motherfce* and it shows in the prices. You really need to check it out! Fry’s is chock full ‘o MaXImuM AWesOMisiTy!!!
For those of you Fry’s regs, I just learned today that they sell OEM versions of many popular Microsoft Titles (Windows and Office) if you buy any computer hardware. I was buying a stick of PC2100 RAM (512MB, $109.95) and needed a copy of XP Pro. I was able to get the full OEM version (not an upgrade) for $159! I love it when that happens.
And, if anyone knows where I can find an AlT-CapS gENeraTOr, lEt Me kNOw!
that the good lad just started. Well, ok, maybe a month or two ago, but he finally got around to getting the domain for it! He spends hours and hours scouring the worst that the web has to offer!

First, from guest contributor the Joshinator:
When the zombies take over, how long till the electricity fails?
Scary stuff here people. Stuff I’ll bet you never thought about before! Here’s an excerpt:
After watching Dawn of the Dead, I am left to wonder about one thing: If we were to suffer an apocalypse where most of the living became flesh-eating zombies, how long, assuming I survived, would I continue to receive hydroelectricity from my power company? Is it a mean-time-before-failure situation, or would the system automatically shut itself down after a few days?

Next up, interstate 15 from Southern California to the California/Nevada Stateline. For those of you that are not familiar with this particular route, it is the only way to get from Southern California to Las Vegas. Well, it’s not the only way, but all the others are more than double the mileage, so they don’t count. Anyway…
On weekends this little 250 mile jaunt is thing that nightmares are made of! Imagine the worst traffic you have ever been in. Got it? Ok, now multiple that time 4! What is normally a nice 3.5-4.5 hour drive, turns into a hellish journey that can take more than 8 hours!
Bring in our crack Department of Transportation Authority, CALTRANS. Please note: There is an assumed level of sarcasm in the last statement. CALTRANS has been in the process of widening this particular stretch of road. And, in doing so, they have had to make it barely 2 cars wide in places, sometimes as long as 30 miles! With K-rail on either side, it’s like driving in a water pipe that is too small for your car. Harrowing to say the least.
Now this project has been make some progress, but not as much as one would expect. I believe that they started this project back in 1972, and I think they are right about 50% completed! No kidding! This is taking longer than the I5/Disneyland improvements, and those took 12 years!
Next time, no bitching about roads, I promise.
Since it was just my birthday, and Father’s Day is right around the corner, I thought I was due for something nice…
Oh yea, a brand new 45K BTU, 635sq. in 3 burner propane grill with porcelin coated cast iron grates and a porcelin coated lid.
This will go great with the new toy the Alex’s picked up for me for my birthday…
except that mine is the db brand, of course.
Come this weekend, gonna get me some big fat steaks and have me a bbq! You are all invited, of course
