A few things to note.

The Weekly Funnies have been terminated due to lack of intrest.  All monthly articles have been neglected as of late.  I am fairly new to blogging, and I am not used to have to post regular articles, please bear with me.  I will try to post interesting stuff as it occurs, but for now, I cannot do the monthly articles, I think I tried to do too much, to soon.  I will try to ease into the life of a blogger, at a somewhat slower pace.  I have deleted the Pages “Family News” and “Prayer Requests”  Due to lack of intrest, relevance, and updating.  I have kept the Church Events page, and I am thinking about how to continue to post family-related posts.  I have added some items to my blogroll, including some Ubuntu rescouces.  As my sister has left, I will return to posting more regularly.

Monday Funnies, Issue 3

Yes, yes, I know. It’s Wednesday. Again. I need to stop doing that. Hopefully, once things settle down, I will manage to write these on time. I have been fairly busy lately, and my sister that lives in Michigan will be visiting for almost a week, starting next Wednesday, and she will be bringing my niece, Annalia, which I have never met before. So, I will be out of commission for that, and will not be able to post the Monday Funnies, and maybe not some of my other regular posts. On a side note, I am currently trying to think of a person that would be a good blogging partner, and would be willing to post on here. Anyway, the wednesday Funnies:

Family:

As usual, the highlight of the week goes to Tucker, our Border Collie. Yesterday, Dad had just come home from work. He started up the stairs, to the dining room, where we were all eating. Tucker heard him, ran over to the stairs, went down the stairs, to the point where his head was about as high as Dad’s. He then sat down square in the middle of the stairway, and poked his nose in Dad’s face, as if to say: “…passsssword… …siiiirr….???” yes, quite amusing. That dog has some authority issues, obviously, but it was funny, nonetheless. Also, today, Tucker was in the Sun Room, upstairs, in from of Mom, who was sitting in her chair. Then, the phone started ringing, right next to him on the small table next to the chair. Not knowing what it was, he cautiously approached it, cocked his head in that mind-boggling cute way that some dogs can do, and sniffed it. Mom cracked up, and was still laughing as she answered the phone. Tucker, not knowing what was going on, merely that he was the center of attention, just sat there, wagging his tail, and looking as content as possible.

Technology:

I was looking at some Cnet vodcasts, when one caught my attention. It was labeled “OS X on a Thinkpad” (or something like that). I watched it, interested, since I did not think Mac OS X could run on a non-Apple machine. The went on to explain in detail, how to install Mac OS X (this link intentionally left blank) on the Thinkpad that he was using. All throughout the proccess, however, he was warning that what he was doing was illegal. He ended the vodcast by saying: “Do not try this at home,” because it was illegal. Hmm… I wonder how much longer that guy is going to be working there… Or maybe he knows he is about to be fired, and is going to try to go out with a bang.

(No, actually, this guy is THE vodcaster, and he did say in it that he was doing it merely to show that it could be done.)

Stargate:

(Yay, we were finally able to watch Ark Of Truth!!! Jeremy borrowed it, and brought it over!)

Mitchell on radio: Uh… guys? We are going to have to beam you up, we have a slight replicator problem up here.

Daniel: What?! We just got here! uh… did you say Replicators? (they had killed them in an earlier episode)

Mitchell on radio: Yeah, long story.

Daniel: Uh… okay.

Mitchell on radio: … … …

Mitchell on radio: … … …

Mitchell on radio: Maybe not. Transporter problems.

Daniel: Uh… okay. (turns to team members in cave) Onward, then…

*They must have been using Vista…*

Well, guys, I hope you enjoyed it! Remember, I will be doing this next week’s episode, but I will not be able to do the one after that. Provide feedback, if you will, on how you like the blog. And, constructive criticism is always welcome. Just remember to keep it constructive.

Live long, and perspire!

Monday Funnies, Issue 2

yes, it’s Teusday, I know.

Technology:

I get a monthly Tiger Direct magazine catalog, because I have bought items from that store, previously, just like all geeks. Well, by each product, there is an “add to cart” button……..

Today, April’s Fools Day, on Wikipedia’s main page, you will find the “on this day” section… different. The creators of Wikipedia have added a little… flair to the website, for the occasion. Also, the clip of the Featured Article has been altered, but clicking on the provided link takes you to the correct version. Check them out! (link)

Family:

Last week, I was playing Morrowind, and Shawn was looking on the map to tell me where to go. I was in a castle, and asked him where I was supposed to go next. He said (in all seriousness): “Enter the Ground Cancel Chamers.” I said: “uh… Shawn?” He stopped, and realized his mistake. We spent the next 5 minutes, laughing, while I steered my character through the Grand Council Chamber doors. (okay, lets stop picking on other people, now)

Although no one ever knew this, as we were finishing up helping the Morgans move, I was trying to get one of the last objects, when I heard a quiet *riiiiip…* heh heh. I excused myself, and spent the next 10 minutes trying to fix my pants. Fortunately, it was not in an… …obvious…. spot.

Stargate:

Episode: “Miller’s Crossing,” Season 4 of Stargate Atlantis:

Jeanie: So… you going to marry that Katie girl?

Mckay: What?! We are being held hostage, and you want to ask me about my love life!?

Jeanie: Well, I was just trying to get my mind off of the fact that I have millions of tiny robots(nanites) running through my blood.

McKay: Oh, sorry.

Jeanie: So… are you going to marry that Katie girl?

McKay: I don’t know.

Jeanie: Well, you’ve been dating her for, what, over a year now?

McKay: So?

Jeanie: Well, for anyone to stick with you that long, it’s just amazing, and its not likely to happen again. I mean, it’s not like you are a John Sheppard, or anything.

McKay: WHAT?! Ok, hey! You know what? Lets go back to you berating me for my incompetence, because I think I liked that better!

The Weekly Funnies, Issue 1

This is the very first issue of the Weekly Funnies, as promised, The Weekly Funny will be a collection of all of my favorite quotes/short stories that I have heard/seen over the previous week, and it will be published.

Technology:
=============
According to an article on Cnet.com, China has come out with this top-secret bomber that is capable of holding multiple nukes, along with other ordinance, as well. In this article, they went on to explain, that it should come out in 2010, be better than US bombers, and travel at Mach 1.2. Wow, huh? Well… Wow is certainly the word. As in “wow, how could someone like Cnet be fooled by such a CHEAP PHOTOSHOP such as that?!!??!!???!!!???” I mean, on both Cnet.com, and Youtube.com, where they got the movie, NOBODY fails to realize that it is a photoshop job, and a pretty poor one sometimes, at that. Go watch it, laugh, and send Cnet some E-mails. But… be… nice…

Family:
==============
Mom, Annmarie, Anna, and I had lunch at Sams while we were shopping for groceries, today. We each got a peice of pizza, and a large soda. Annmarie had taken her’s and Mom’s cup to go put soda in it. She filled Mom’s up, and, while trying to fill hers up, she knocked Mom’s over. Rather embarrassed, we cleaned it up, and went on eating. Annmarie went to go to the bathroom, Mom filled her cup again, and we sat down to eat. Mom tried to grap her pizza, and instead knocked the soda over again! This time, all over the pizza, and the floor. Needless to say, we all cracked up hysterically, and cleaned it up. We were just finishing cleaning it up by the time Annmarie got back. We joked that Mom’s cup was evil, and that she should get a new one. Then, after we had all eaten, Mom decided that she wanted more pizza. She came back with her new slice, sat down, and dropped it straight on the floor! Never picking it up, everyone, including the people nearby who had seen the spills, cracked up hysterically, and wouldn’t stop for about 5 minutes! Plus, not only that, it fell on the EXACT spot where she had just spilled her soda.

A few days ago, I was sitting on the couch, just doing my school, and Tessa was on the opposite side, doing hers, and Tucker, our young Border Collie, was in between us, almost asleep on the couch, and Charlie, our Black Lab, was sitting upright on the floor, next to Tucker. Tucker had been at his usual funny antics all day, cracking us up, and we were finally glad that he was resting. All of a sudden, out of the corner of my eye, I saw, tucker, almost asleep, suddenly lash out with his foot, kick Charlie in the face, and draw his leg back to it’s former position, faster than anyone could blink. I looked over at him, and he gave me this ridiculously funny-looking, sweet, innocent face. Tessa and I immediately started to crack up, and we laughed hysterically for about 5 minutes. Charlie, rather perturbed, turned around, and left the room. Tucker on the other hand, seeing us laughing, got up, happy at the attention, came up, and started licking us in the face.

Stargate:

Carter: “You’re a Jerk!”
McKay: “I don’t know why I find you so attractive. I don’t know, I’ve just always had this attraction to dumb blondes…”
Carter: “Go suck on a lemon!!!” (McKay is mortally allergic to citrus)
McKay: *chuckles* “oh, yes… very sexy. Very, very sexy.”
Carter: Leaves, slams door.

(Non Sequiter, newspaper comic)
Girl: “Hey, Tom, could you send me back in time about two days, I failed a test, and I thought I would go back, and actually study for it this time”
Tom: “Shouldn’t you just learn from the lesson, and not do the same thing next time?”
Girl: “Well… I don’t know. It just seems that messing with the timeline would be easier…”
