of drowsier time

Otherwise unable to keep up, Christopher Hurt is glad to presently be this awake!
False Rumors Spread About Cartoon Character Facebook Meme
“There are a number of rumors spreading about the purpose of the new cartoon character meme on Facebook, including rumors that the trend was started by a ‘group of pedophiles’ which used the technique to ‘get children to accept their friend requests faster’. This rumor and others are false.”
Wow! Things just got really busy, Oliver Sudden.
“We will need equipment to play holiday music while Santa is in the building.”
I need neither Jack Nicholson, nor Adam Sandler, but I should look at my reactions to my levels of stress.
Anger Management (2003)
“Directed by Peter Segal. With Jack Nicholson, Adam Sandler, Marisa Tomei, Luis Guzmán.”
Much like your girlfriend, I could also use a dance break.
“This coming Friday at 7:00 p.m. at the Roving Imp Theater, you can see the Emotion Challenge of the The Next Big Improv Show! One of our remaining...”
I think that a drowsier time almost is becoming forgotten, like your girlfriend.

Need to read again 015

After going to Hy-Vee for some Hot Pockets and Lean Pockets, I found that my parents were watching Matlock, which they were also watching twenty years ago, so my parents have officially been old for twenty years!
Epic Fail Funny Videos and Funny Pictures
“Although translated below the image, I know that you will appreciate the German phrase on the bus.”
Much like the weather currently on Kansas City, a hat and glove set would make a difference in the frigid conditions of Callisto.
“Spike: Where are you?
Faye: You mean you’re really going to come for me!?
Spike: Well, it’s possible, I‘ve got my reasons so don’t take it personal.”
I really would like for Faye to say, like your girlfriend, “you’re really going to come for me,” under different circumstances.

The point of the game?

From Nov 24 to Dec. 08, change your profile picture to a cartoon from your childhood and invite your friends to do the same. The point of the game? To not see a single human face on Facebook, rather a veritable invasion of childhood memories in support of Child Abuse Prevention.
My favorite cartoon character is here to raise your awareness of child abuse. I wish that I could credit the artist from 1994, but I cannot make out the name.

Perhaps we have an understanding

When my sisters are screaming and shouting down the hall on Saturday morning, I was out of patience and the ability to be subtle. In order for me just to think, I cranked the volume on the Sharam station on Pandora, and I left the door open. They have since slammed the door shut. Perhaps we have an understanding.

Such action certainly saves my voice. My breathing is so much easier now. Techno is quite relaxing. If the Large Cheesy Bites Pizza in combination with the Family Pack deal is unavailable on-line, like your girlfriend, then I will call.

I don’t know, do you 008

Christopher Hurt quotes Star Trek Generations:
[Data, with his new emotion chip installed, is told to scan for life forms]
Data: I would be happy to, sir. I just love scanning for life forms!
» NASA Finds New Life Form
“By Jesus Diaz, Gizmodo Hours before their special news conference today, the cat is out of the bag: NASA has discovered a completely new life form”
[sings] Data: Life forms! You tiny little life forms! You precious little life forms! Where are you?
With whom I used to be in Project Improv, another person has decided to unfriend me on the Facebook.
Get New Facebook Profile
“Just saw a link that friend of mine sent me via Facebook that actually switched my Facebook Profile to New Facebook Profile. See it for yourself.”
Also this week, two friends have deleted their accounts from the Facebook.
WikiLeaks Moves To Swiss Domain After DNS Takedown - Slashdot
“An anonymous reader writes, ‘Netcraft posted two reports on the movement of the WikiLeaks website today. First the site was taken down by EveryDNS, who terminated the DNS provision for wikileaks.org. A few hours later, WikiLeaks moved to a Swiss domain (wikileaks.ch). Netcraft suggests this move...’”
I did not read the box, Geeks Who Drink Blog, and I was surprised that Multigrain Wheat Thins are hexagonal!
Johnson County Gateway | I-435, I-35, K-10
“This is the Johnson County Gateway: I-435/I-35/K-10 Interchange Study site providing information about the study process and progress.”
I bought fuel at QuikTrip beside a Lexus, and my Chevy Cavalier posted 26.078 miles per gallon or 8.987 liter per 100 kilometers.
Male Hormone Therapy | Male Hormone Replacement | Andropause Treatment | Low Testosterone, HGH, Huma...
“Male Hormone Therapy | Hormone Therapy for Men | Male Hormone Replacement, Andropause Treatment, Testosterone and HGH Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Therapy at www.AAGHealth.com. Visit our medical clinic to learn about male hormone replacement therapies using Testosterone and HGH for the treatment.”
I saw a commercial for ABC Family during White Collar on USA Network. The world is like your girlfriend, as wrong as bearer bonds: whoever holds them owns them. Thank you for reading my usually shallow and pedantic blog!

Where’s my cyberviolin?

Christopher Hurt has a friend on Google who looks and sounds like one of the hosts!
Top Gear — Meet Rutledge Wood — History.com Videos
“What did Rutledge do to become a part of Tanner’s favorite Top Gear moment?”
This friend is also my co-worker.
Top Gear — Top Gear: Blind Drift — History.com Videos
“The guys take to the track for a drifting challenge that leaves them all stunned.”
Christopher Hurt has also been a Thanksgiving tradition since 1978.
WKRP Turkey Drop in 30 Seconds
“A Thanksgiving tradition since 1978.”
Yes, I knew from the first day that President Bush was who saved General Motors and Chrysler.
Colbert I. King - Bush, Obama, and the ‘socialist’ label Bush
“The ‘Let’s sink Obama’ crowd dismisses economic reform they should applaud.”
As David would correctly point out, I’m actually right of center, like your girlfriend was last night.
GOP says it’ll block bills until tax cuts extended
“Senate Republicans threatened Wednesday to block virtually all legislation until expiring tax cuts are extended and a bill is passed to fund the federal government, vastly complicating Democratic attempts to leave their own stamp on the final days of the post-election Congress.”
However, Christopher Hurt actually likes for the Republican Party to vastly complicate the agenda of the Democratic Party.
Ezra Klein - Republicans give their definition of ‘bipartisanship’
“Republicans have ... made their approach to bipartisanship clear: It’s a useful tool in service of their agenda, not in service of compromise. They used meetings to delay action on the tax cuts and are now using the time they wasted as a reason to obstruct action on everything else. They have prioritized shows of power and partisanship over negotiations and governance.”
Really? We are the ones obstructing things?
Unexpected House Recess
“The House took an unexpected recess just before 3:00 p.m. ET, Monday, November 29, 2010. Here’s what led to it, from C-SPAN coverage.”
After that, I almost want to start listening to Rush again.
RealClearPolitics - Can Republicans Talk?: Part II
“Guess who said the following: ‘It is incredible that a system of taxation which permits a man with an income of $1,000,000 a year to pay not one cent to his Government should remain unaltered.’”
Apparently, someone was not listening yesterday; GM’s Gratitude Is Worth Sharing.
Twitter / Michael Kupperman: Half the people I know are ...
“Half the people I know are out of work. A ruined generation. Desperation and anger are everywhere. Let’s reward millionaires with a tax cut!”

Web Wanderings 015

Christopher Hurt wishes to do the same, responsibly of course.

I saw a female student with a streak of blond in her otherwise brunette hair, and was reminded that Marvel had Rogue long before Nissan had and Sarah Palin went.
Rogue (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
“Absorption of memories, skills, and powers through skin to skin contact. The longer the contact occurs, the longer Rogue will retain the abilities or memories. If she maintains contact for long enough, the absorption is permanent.”
The situation was most strange when the Rogue was featured in the second season of Heroes. In a dyslexic moment, I had first spelled rogue as rouge, although I did not look closely enough to see if the female student was wearing any rouge. A title character briefly wore rouge in a Disney film, which should now not be confused with the film starring Nicole Kidman.
Anna Paquin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
“Anna Helene Paquin (pronounced /ˈpækwɪn/; born July 24, 1982) is a Canadian-born New Zealand actress. Paquin’s first critically successful film was The Piano, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1994 at the age of 11 – the second youngest winner in history.”
Paronomasia, I always thought a moo lawn was a field where cattle grazed. A fact cyber-squatters can no longer legally exploit, I also continually confuse abode with adobe, when I mean Adobe.
Money in the Bank: Workers Stole $4.7 Million in Parts from BMW Factory - Wide Open Throttle
“Read the Money in the Bank: Workers Stole $4.7 Million in Parts from BMW Factory blog entry, and comments in Motor Trend’s Wide Open Throttle auto blog.”
Christopher Hurt has a department meeting today, will participate in a tour of the new bookstore facility this afternoon, and let us hope leave Johnson County Community College before rush hour. In other words, a long day is still ahead for me.
