| Selling the Crapice =( |
[Aug. 12th, 2009|08:28 pm] |
Aww nuts, I should've sold this in the spring instead of procrastinating, since I've got a "new" winter beater. Now the dang tranny is stuck in Park and I'll have to sell it as a "tow-away".
This mobile landmark is known by various names: "The Crapice", "Blue Monster II", "The Atari Car", and probably some others I'm glad I haven't heard.
It's an old rust bomb, but thanks to the wild custom paint job, it's still quite the eye-catcher. It'd make a great demo-derby car for someone who knows how to disable Park and un-jam the tranny themself, because the engine still runs fine.

| WTF am I? |
[Nov. 14th, 2008|06:15 pm] |
Most of these online quizzes are stupid, useless, or just bunk, but this one actually made me curious enough to take. And since I answered all those friggin' questions, I might as well post my results somewhere.

| I won the lottery!!! |
[Jun. 22nd, 2008|03:35 pm] |
Yep, that's right, I'm $1 ahead by not buying a ticket.
Why do people continue to buy lottery tickets knowing full well that it's effectively a tax on stupid people?
It boggles the mind.
But I've come up with a plan.
Next time I run across someone with a ridiculous rationalization at the ready (e.g. "My odds of winning are better than if I didn't buy one"), I'm going to abandon my previous retort ("No they're not; the odds of you buying a winning ticket are roughly the same as the winning ticket being blown out of the hand of the person who bought it, flying through the air, and getting lodged in your ass crack"), and instead, take a whole new tact.
I'm going to agree with them.
And I'm going to tell them that I bought a lottery ticket myself, and chose the numbers "1 1 1 1 1 1".
To which they will reply, "Well that was just foolish; the odds against the lottery numbers being all ones are astronomical!"
I'm going to stare at them intensely for precisely fifteen seconds, which should be enough time for them to realize what they just said, hang their head in shame, and walk away.
If that doesn't happen, I'm going to grab them by the throat with one hand and shout "My, Odds, Of, Winning, Are, Exactly, The, Same, As, Yours", punching them in the forehead with my other hand as I say each word (to make sure it sinks in). |

| Ronald McDonald is SO stupid... |
[Jun. 3rd, 2008|03:11 pm] |
How stupid IS he?
Ronald McDonald is so stupid, he pays people to take extra hamburger.
Seriously. Being a hamburglar isn't even a crime anymore.
Do the math with me here:
.. Cheeseburger $.99
.. Double Cheeseburger $1.00
Yeah, they're sacrificing quite a bit of profit margin to give you an extra patty and slice of cheese for a penny, but they're moving more product, and you're a satisfied customer. So far, so good.
But we're not done yet; check this out:
.. Double Cheeseburger Value Meal $3.19
.. Two-Cheeseburger Value Meal $4.39
Wait... WHAT? They're charging $1.20 for an extra bun and pickle?
That seems like a ripoff, but look at it another way--
Buy the Double Cheeseburger Value Meal,
plus another Double Cheeseburger.
The total is-- are you still with me here?-- $4.19
The "Two-Double-Cheeseburger Value Meal" totals $.20 LESS than the Two-(Single)-Cheeseburger Value Meal.
Ronald is effectively paying you $.20 to take two extra patties+cheese off his hands!
(If you're not that hungry, or are health-conscious (ha!), hell, pull out the two extra patties and feed them to a crow or stray dog, or stick them into your shirt pockets so people think you're lactating grease or something. Either way, you're still $.20 ahead, which is enough to buy a whole mouthful of unleaded gas.) |
