Ta1no’s Weblog

So to the opening message of this blog, I would like to say I have hit the 300 page views mark, thank you all. Also I am very much looking forward to seeing Hancock, the new Will Smith movie. Take a look at the extended trailer and let me know what you think. I for one will be going to see this in the cinema – to do this film justice I think it needs to be.

In the news – Sixth human foot found in Canada. Another human foot encased in a running shoe has been found on the shores of British Columbia in Canada, the second this week and the sixth within a year. What is with people, just cause they only let you try on the right shoe at the shop doesn’t mean you have to steal one shoe and cut your foot off so it doesn’t look odd.

The row over genetically modified crops has been reignited after the Government said they could help address the global food crisis. Green groups have accused the biotech industry of “abusing the misery of millions of hungry people” by trying to promote its products as a solution to rising food prices. Poor and hungry people can not be picky. I don’t think hungry people care if its GM or Organic they just want food so that they can eat.

Go Green Quickly With An Electric Scooter. Now commuters will have another option; the electric Scoota. The benefits are obvious. A few hours charge returns 40 miles. It’s pretty nippy too: around 30 mph. Based on £1.19 a litre there’s certainly a big difference on running costs. A 125cc petrol scooter travelling 20 miles a day will cost about £750 a year. A small car over the same distance will set you back £1012. Apart from it being an electric scooter and it rains in London a lot I think it might actually work – Gwhiz cars can eat my dust. Now where to plug the charger in.

In other news –

According to a new report, Federal prosecutors also want Wesley Snipes to pay what it cost to convict him. The Feds have reportedly sent a “cost of prosecution” bill to the judge in the case.

His attorneys object to many of the prosecution fees the government is seeking. Here’s what appears on the ‘bill’:

$193,716.98 for scanning, printing and numbering documents

$21,052.19 for witnesses (prosecutors want to be reimbursed for the time and travel expenses of 13 witnesses)

$2,456.40 for transcripts (prosecutors say the daily trial transcripts were necessary for the government to be “on an equal footing” with the defence, which had ordered them).

$138.18 for making certified colour copies of trial exhibits

In music news – Rapper Young Jeezy, aka Jay Jenkins, was just pulled over The rapper has been charged with a long list of offenses which include DUI, reckless driving, speeding, possession of an open container, no tag, no decal, and no proof of insurance. Thankfully no drugs were found in the car. Did they look hard enough?

Grinding my gears today – I am going to put loan company’s and in particular Picture the loan.

Wife – “Who are you talking too”?
Husband – “Mike, at Picture. He’s helping us to reduce our loan.

In reality he is making small talk while he pulls my pants down and shafts me with a massive loan that’ll end up costing us about 15 grand more in interest”. Never mind picture the loan, more like picture your house being repossessed cause you can’t afford it in the first place!
Its no wonder the people in this country are digging themselves further and further into a financial mess! Its almost “cool” to have a massive debt hanging around your neck, and these pathetic attempts at mental bullying, doesn’t make things any better. That and the advert is a pile of crap. Watch the video below its intresting and a good take on adverts.

So that’s it folks for another weekday, and thanks to a request from R I have found some words of wisdom from Peter Griffin. If you don’t know about Family guy then Peter Griffin is the dad from family guy.

p.s They are giving away free ice cream (mr whippy style) outside my work all you have to do is listen to a quick demo about blackberry. apart form our office and the London Asian contingency the only other people in brick lane are skinny-jean wearing androgynous looking anti-capitalist pro-environmental man bag porting anaemic parent-hating teenagers need, or would even use a crackberry, unless it was to smash it an uninformed ‘statement’ against, like, McDonalds for, like, totally  killing dolphins / cutting down rainforests / carbon foot printing…

Watch the video at the bottom – its a classic but still funny…

Lois: I just wish my opinion mattered to you.
Peter: Well, the important thing is, it matters to you, and that’s the greatest gift of all.

Bonnie: Somebody save him, he can’t swim!
Peter: Oh, he’s not even kicking. Kick Joe, kick.
Lois: Peter, he’s a paraplegic!
Peter: That doesn’t mean he can’t hear. Kick Joe, kick!

Peter (after Lois tells him he’s childish): “If I’m a child that means you’re a pedophile, and I’ll be damned if i’m going stand here and take this from a pervert.”

Peter: Ok, here’s another riddle. A woman has two children. A homicidal murderer tells her she can only keep one. Which one does she let him kill?
Brian: That’s not a riddle. That’s … that’s just terrible.
Peter: Wrong, the ugly one!

Chris: Dad, what’s the blow-hole for?
Peter: I’ll tell you what it’s not for, son. And when I do, you’ll understand why I can never go back to Sea World.

Peter: I’d like to propose a toast to our neighbors. Sure they might be black, handicapped, and a heartless sex hound, but hey, if they moved out some smelly Hawaiians might move in.

Peter: Just don’t forget our deal, Lois. I sit through this and later tonight I get anal. You hear me? No matter how neat I want the house you have to clean it.

Peter: You know those Germans; if you don’t join the party, they come get you.

Peter: [writing letter] Dear MacGuyver, Enclosed is a rubber band, a paper clip, and a drinking straw. Please save my dog.

Peter: Lois, you’ve got a sick mind!
Lois: Peter, I’m talking about making love.
Peter: Oh, I thought you wanted us to murder the children and harvest their organs for beer money.

Brian: Peter, did you read the fine print on this loan contract?
Peter: Um, if by “read” you mean imagined a naked lady, then, yes.

Peter: I’m gonna go microwave a bagel and have sex with it.
Quagmire: Butter’s in the fridge!

Peter: Lois may be worth a million bucks to you, but to me she’s worthless

Peter: Hey, what are you doing here?
Superman: I killed a hooker. She made a crack about me being faster than a speeding bullet so I ripped her in half like a phonebook.

Peter Griffin: The deep south? Isn’t that the place where the black guys are really lazy and all the white guys are just as lazy but they’re mad at the black guys for being so lazy?

Peter: We love the Bible in this house.
Francis Griffin: Really. What’s your favorite book of the Bible?
Peter: Uhhhhh… the book where Jesus swallows the puzzle piece and the man in the yellow hat has to take him to the hospital.

Peter: Man, some trip this turned out to be. All we caught is a tire, a boot, a tin can and this book of clichés.

Brian: Seriously, who buys a novelty fire extinguisher?
Peter Griffin: I’ll tell you who: someone who cares enough about physical comedy to put his entire family into serious danger, that’s who.

Lois: Peter! You’re bribing your daughter with a car?
Peter: Aw, c’mon Lois, isn’t ‘bribe’ just another word for ‘love’?

Lois: Peter, there’s a hooker on the bed!
Hooker: Hi.
Peter: Stand perfectly still Lois, their vision is based on movement.
[Pause]
Hooker: Where’d you go?

Lois: Okay, one more minute, and then if there are two pink lines…
Peter: Oh god, I hope you’re not pregnant, we can’t afford another kid. We already got Chris, Stewey, Richie, Joanie, Greg, Marsha, Bobby, Jan, Mike Seaver, Carol Seaver, Boner, Urkel, Mr. Furley…
Brian: Peter those aren’t your kids, that’s the Nick-at-Night lineup.
Peter: Blanka, Zangeif, Chun-Li, Guile, E. Honda…
Brian: That’s Street Fighter.
Peter: Red, blue, green…
Brian: Those are colours.

Peter: Oh my god, Brian, there’s a message in my Alphabits. It says, ‘Oooooo.’
Brian: Peter, those are Cheerios.

Chris: Dad, can you help me with my math homework?
Peter: Math. Math my dear boy is nothing more than the lesbian sister of biology.
