We're Not Lost

So I haven't posted in the last 2 days - I know. I try to keep it to at least 1 post every other day, but sometimes, big important people have a lot of big and important things to do.

For instance...

The power in my city's only high school went out today, and I had to be there to make sure that all the computers made it through. Rather. I had to be sure the Macs made it through. Which they did. Just fine.

The power at my local college went out too. That was funny. I had the only operating computer in the entire commons area. My glowing Apple logo a beacon for all the people to see. I'm sure of it. I know what they wished they wanted just then. Anything with an Apple logo.

I hear ya.

So. I'm sitting here, as I speak. Or type. Watching Lost. Are you noticing what I'm noticing?

What the hell is that little scrolling text box of crap that no one cares about? It's a blatant statement of 2 things. 1, the writers of the show, whoever they may be, must think everyone watching is an utter blazing moron, and 2, whoever wrote the crap in that scrolling text box is an utter blazing moron.

I got little hints tell me that one guy was an avid pheasant hunter. I don't care.

They just told me the Island faces a threat from the Others. I don't care.

I've known that since it was introduced last season. which was... what, 2002?

If I see the word Others on my screen one more time, I'm going to end up finding out what people mean when they say "plasma".

Oh, and Jack with a beard looks just wrong.

Well. There is much work to be done. I do believe I am officially hired at Wal*Mart. However, that Donate button on the side... Yeah. That's staying. I still need those high-end blogging funds.

So. Go Patriots, and amen to new House right after that. Peace.

Amen Matt Lauer

..and the rest of the Today Show cast.

They all raved over MacBook Air. Even Fake Steve caught on. I figured he would.

Note to self, and general public: Watch more Today Show, and praise them when they praise Apple.

I thought I'd share. I think I'm even closer to being employed. I have to pass a drug test for Wal*Mart - cause I guess they think they're the CIA now. Whatever. I'm game. All for iPhone... and a silver 1970 Chevelle, but, you know. Keep it simple. iPhone first.

This is going to be an exciting time.

Wow I sounded like I work for Steve.

I want iPhone. I'm like, almost a year behind the rest of earth. Someone's playing a joke on me. They told everyone within a half hour of my house to not hire me. Odds are they have wanted signs with my face on them behind the counter.

Then again, you wouldn't know. None of you have ever seen me.

So does that mean I don't really exist at all?

Pfft. Of course not. I've made all of your lives better for months now. What would you do without me?

Don't answer that. I know what you're thinking already. A world without me wouldn't be a world at all. I hear ya. That's ok. Uncle Skippy's here, and he's gonna teach you the wonders of hunting.

Let's do this. Cheney-style.

Vegas Finale

So. Pictured is the fire at its height. As of now, it is under control.

Apparently, they evacuated floors 25 and higher of the 32 story building. You can bet your spouse's life savings that if I were on the first floor in the lobby, I would be hauling ass towards the door.

CNN is showing pictures on tv right now of the toasty mess that is the roof of the luxurious building.

"Maids were running down the hallways knocking on doors and yelling fire, so I guess that's their alarm system" - Eric Wappel / Koppel of CNN. Didn't catch the last name.

Good to know people around the world still keep a sense of humor even in situations like that.

I tip my Garth-esque Stetson hat to everyone that set things right out in Vegas today, and I hope I was able to provide you with some bit of interesting news leading into the weekend.

Now, let's all sit back, relax, watch The Apprentice that we recorded yesterday, and prepare ourselves for a Garth Brooks concert.

One more repetitive time, praises to CNN. I wonder if they'll pay me for the promotion? I do have that donate button.

Vegas Update #2

You know what, is anyone doing anything?

Do I have to fly down there? Damn it. I thought today would be easy.

Don't make me start throwing buckets of Smart Water at this place. So help me, I'll do it if no one else will...

Thanks to wizbandpop.com for the update and picture. I guess. Interesting site name. I'm sort of still thinking about that.

I don't think I've ever surfed faster or harder in my life. In Safari Browser terms, of course. However, CNN on tv is telling me things are being taken care of. Looks like the problem may be over. I didn't wanna have to fire up the SkippyMobile or SkippyForce1 anyway.

Fuel prices... you know the deal.

Vegas Update

Yup. There goes the sign.

The same route the car-of-the-same-name went...

When the title of the building represented by said sign is gone, you know what's up. Hope those rich people can rebuild. Rock on rich people.

Hope they're Indian... I'm part Native American, and let me tell you, we know what's good in the ways of business.

Thanks to KESQ.com for the update.

Stick with Skippy throughout the day, to find out which news teams are on their feet. Jolly good fun as the Queen would say. I think.
