Piss Off !!

We all get special guests from time to time.  Not the usual faces who come in from time to time to chill, but people totally upity up the totem pole; whether it's family, work, or even celebrities.  There are formalities, politcal games to play and toes to avoid stepping on as they may be connected to the asses I have to kiss later.  We give up the usual space and cram ourselves into the corners that are typically not used, or at times off limits.

Not a problem.  I can watch (and smell) fancy lunches get delivered.  I can keep my head down and not listen in on the conversation.  I can bend over.

What I absolutely cannot do is suffer through yellow stains on the toilet seat.  Really?  Really, dog?  What are you doing?  You can certainly show some sophistication by taking care of other people's property, right?  With such a respectable status, indeed, an ambassador of where you're from, you're the representation of the best, right?

My buddies and I were talking, and they've all had to do the same thing in the can.  We're the ones going through the daily grind with our blue collars, and even we can keep clean.  We're in the group who scrape coins together so we can buy an Xbox game from the bargain bin.  Maybe that makes sense cause we don't have anyone to wipe us down after we piss in the wind.

To our guest who are innocent, I'm sorry. =(
I guess, should have started with an apology disclaimer first.

HDMI does what ???

So I bought Diablo III.  Started playing a monk.
Side note, the fem mage is hooooCheeee mama.

I load it up on my laptop and bring it my brothers pad so he can check it out.  I thought we'd be huddling by a small laptop screen squinting our eyes and eventually I’d let him play.  Go nuts!

He brings back an HDMI cable and I blink at him.  Then it hit me.  WOW!  He’s going to hook it up to the big screen.  Five feet of eyecandy!

“What about the audio?”  I asked.
“Uh, big brother.  HDMI includes audio.”



KAAAABOOOOOMMMM !!  PSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSH !!
* mind * blown *



I need to keep up with technology.  Course it helps he doesn't have a little girl demanding all your attention.

D III review coming up!

Eternal Enemies

Orcs vs Elves,

Humans vs Zombies,

Today, I focus on Pirates vs Ninjas.

We are all familiar with Jolly Roger as the modern symbol of pirates.  You could easily imagine it on a flag flying on a ship, draped on a battle standard, or even converting nicely to canton.  Yes, canton.  Not Canton.

Do ninjas have their version of skull and crossbones?  Indeed not. So I propose, the ninja’s coat of arms:

Ta Daa!

Four throwing knives in the shape of a shuriken.  Notice even the negative space in the middle is in a shape of a throwing star.

I must admit, it was a lot more complicated before.  It had a oniyuri katana in various positions.  One version even mirrored the ol’ Jolly Roger using.  The shuriken and swords were the skull and crossbones respectively.  But in this case, less is definitely more, plus I hope there is a sophistication in its simplicity.  There is room in the middle to add a clan / family crest, some calligraphy, the Union Jack,  whatever!

Speaking of pirates, I came across the best example of bootleggery.  Check this out!

Incredible.  Absolutely, incredible.  Even has the fake battery tester.  Look close.  Warning! There is mercury in it, but as you can see, only <0.025%.
