I'm Watching The Tour De France

So I'm watching the Tour de France tonite.

The current camera is from straight above the road from a helicpoter. A large group of riders is coming up on an intersection when all of a sudden 2 cars drive out into the middle of the intersection and stop.

My heart skips a beat cause the riders and gonna smack into these cars. Only a fraction of a second later do I realize the cars are on a bridge above the road the race is taking place on. whew.

Earlier one of the riders hit a dog on the road. Who goes to watch the Tour de France and doesn't put their dog on a leash?

My Number One Reason To Get An iPhone

Well I don't have any plans of getting an iPhone anytime, and actually don't think the service provider works where I live so it isn't really an option to start with.

but

I do have my number one reason I would get one. Watching Diggnation Alex said he misspelled fucking while composing a text message and the iPhone corrected it for him. A spell checker should, but most don't correct that. For example if I write facking, my browser underlines it as a misspelled word but fucking is not one of the correction options it gives me.

Well done iPhone!

Le Tour De France Fans

I've been watching the Tour De France the past few days. I think today is day 8 or 9. The fans that line the route are crazy. Sometimes you'll see someone wearing giant antlers and carrying a giant flag run along side the riders for a few meters. It looks like people are camped out along the road just to see the riders go by. They are standing on cars, standing on the edge of a very steep, very long drop off on the side of the road.

I was just wondering what the fans would be like if this were the Tour de USA. I'm sure some retard would run out and knock over some of the riders. Someone would probably bring a spike strip.

Transformers

I went to Transformers yesterday. Good movie but it had its parts that were pretty stupid. The action was good, but at times it was too long. At one point in the movie I held my breath for over 7 minutes, killing part of my brain making me mentally retarded. Then something happened that was even more retarded than I was.

There was a scene where one character is riding a motorcycle pretty fast, falls of and continues to slide down the road on his back while still firing his gun. It was awesomely stupid!

Letter To Jennifer Aniston

I have seen a lot of talk about you brushing your teeth in the shower to save water and electricity lately. Thats good that your all about saving, but I'm not sure about one little thing.

The idea is obviously to save water, right? In order for this to really work you need to use less water than you would if you were brushing your teeth at the sink, right?

When I brush my teeth at the sink I probably use a total of 1-2 cups of water.

When I am in the shower I imagine that it takes about 1 second for a single cup of water to go down the drain.

So if I were to brush my teeth in the shower (in the name of saving water) it would only work if I brushed my teeth for a total of less than 1 second.

It seems like such simple common sense that I wouldn't be surprised if a thousand other people have said the same thing already.

So Jennifer, come on over sometime and I'll show you how to take a quick shower. It would only take about 20 seconds before I'd be done! You could use the remaining 2:40 to do whatever you wanted.

Rethinking Things

When I was little I remember my dad making onion sandwiches, usually with a High Life or similar "Larry Juice".



A completely separate memory is being told "Eat some onions, they'll put some hair on your chest".



I really wish I had sat down and really thought about the long term consequences of my blossoming love of onions and onion sandwiches. It is too late now, I'm going to have an onion sandwich and a High Life for 3rd meal tonite!

Exciting Summer Of Metric Football

I hope some of you have had the chance to watch some of the great soccer that has been going on this summer. I've enjoyed it, some more than others.



The Gold Cup was amazing. The United States won the Gold Cup which is basically the championship of North and Central America. A lot of the Gold Cup games were shown on Fox Soccer Channel here.



Copa America was not nice to the US, but other teams have shown some great play.
I'm watching Argentina vs. Mexico in the 2nd semi-finals as I type. The game is probably over by now, my DVR recorded this one for me.



The DVR was getting this game because I was watching USA vs. Uruguay in the round of 16 in the U-20 world cup. The US came from behind to tie the game 1-1 just minutes before regulation time. Michael Bradley scored the game winner at the start of the 2nd half of extra time. US advances to the quarter-finals!



It has been a much better summer than we had last year.
