When AIM was Facebook article

Tue, 17 May 2011 16:00:57 -0400

I just had to share this because I remember when AIM was my (digital) life.

Hmmm... Interesting... But now that you mention it... Picard vs. Adama! GO!

Ok…well…if you’re talking wisdom we go Picard - no question. Picard is like the greatest diplomat ever. If you had two alien species at war…one a giant spiderthing with horns and the other a snake that slithers backwards…you send the Enterprise with Picard in there and three days later everyone is having tea and enjoying opera music.

If you’re talking a physical battle…Adama wins in 1 round. He beat a cylon to death with a flashlight. Remember?

If you’re talking the two ships, Enterprise and Galactica, going at it then it gets complicated. By the technology and size of the ships, Enterprise wins no problem. But if you’re talking pure Captain-ing ability I go Adama. That dude has got some wild tricks up his sleeve for getting out of sticky situations.

So…2 out of 3…Adama wins. Picard is really just more wise and diplomatic.

*If this post doesn’t solidly instill me in the minds of its readers as a total nerd I don’t know what will.

Battlestar Galactica vs. Star Trek. Go!

Yikes! Now you’re getting in to some really difficult, really challenging queries.

BSG and ST… You’re talking Adama and Picard…you’re talking Starbuck and Kirk…you’re talking Number 6 and 7 of 9!

On one hand you have gritty survival based drama and on the other you have a vast universe storyline with virtually no end to the number of interpretations and stories.

I’m going to say BSG based off personal preference. I like both though.

One reason I can’t get any writing done: my cat firmly...

One reason I can’t get any writing done: my cat firmly believes he is the most important being in the universe when I sit down at my desk.

The Kool-Aid man VS Mr. T - who wins?

Wed, 06 Apr 2011 20:23:54 -0400

That’s a good one Anonymous. First off, Mr. T has some really awesome (and classy) gold chains. Probably more gold chains than anyone on the planet. He also has access to lots of weapons (like tanks) and he beat up Rocky once.

In the other corner, you have a giant pitcher of sugary goodness. Back in the day the Kool-Aid man would burst through walls and hang out in pools with the cool kids. Any glass pitcher than can kick down a wall and then take a dip is a force to be reckoned with.

So…the winner is…

Chuck Norris.

What are your general thoughts on koala bears?

Wed, 06 Apr 2011 20:17:27 -0400

Funny you should ask Anonymous, as my wife is a koala lover. She finds the fuzzy marsupials (not actually bears) to be ‘cute’ and ‘cuddly’ even though it is impossible to cuddle a koala unless you live within driving distance of two remote locations in Australia. The reason for that, of course, is the fact that koalas are the crackheads of the animal world. They spend their entire lives doped up on eucalyptus leaves and lying around in trees. When they aren’t motionless for 16-18 hours a day they are looking for food and being grumpy with anyone or anything that interferes with them. So, in closing, I liken them to fuzzy little crackheads.

Although I would like to have an exciting answer like “in a speeding boxcar with two wheels on the rails” or “beneath the sewer grates on 49th and 5th” the real answer is a small town in South Carolina.

The blog is back!

More exciting updates to come real soon. I’ve just got to get back in the swing of things.
