A reader asked why couldn’t I at least post Random Thoughts while on vacation, and I guess I can do that so here I go.
Johnathan Coulton’s song Still Alive is one of the most awesome songs ever made, but you have to play Portal to really get it all. I just like the mixture of both creepy menace and humor. Also, can’t beat the line, “Look at me still talking while there’s science to do.”
Actually, a good slogan for GOP skeptical of all of Obama’s promises: “The cake is a lie.”
I should have added that isn’t enough of an indictment of the X-Men that their most popular member is a short, hairy Canadian?
If Moses parted the Red Sea today, instead of a miracle it would just be considered yet more proof of Global Warming.
Being cynical all the time makes you smart. Well, it makes you appear smart, which is even better than actually being smart.
I’m an engineer. You task me to solve a problem like Maria, I’ll solve it. It may take a while and may not be pretty, but it will be solved.
Small children like me, but I don’t think they get me on the same level some of you do.
Of course I’ve heard of Rudolph, because he’s – as you just said – THE MOST FAMOUS REINDEER OF ALL!
In fact, why did you assume I know of the other reindeer but not the most famous one? How does that make any sense?
“Now I Have a Machinegun. Ho-Ho-Ho!” would make a great Christmas sweater.
A lot of Christmas comes from pagan traditions. Instead of leaving cookies for Santa to eat, people used to leave out babies.
Got a t-shirt that the crest of Hyrule. Pretty geeky, but you have to know it’s the crest of Hyrule to call me a geek.
Got suckered into getting Droid phone. Free at Best Buy (with new 2-year contract and data plan).
If Moses parted the Red Sea, the EPA would be on his ass for doing so without filing an environmental impact notice and having the proper permits. The lawyers would have a field day.
I built the Triforce in Minecraft yesterday. Then I built Mario riding along in Kuribo’s Shoe. Before that, I built Samus Aran’s sprite from Metroid II: Return of Samus. Never did build the actual Hylian crest, though.
I thought I was more than just “a reader” by now. Thanks for cutting my ego down to size, my friend.
[Couldn’t remember who it was. I’ll change it to “IMAO aficionado”. -Ed.]
I’ll be checking the Android Market for the IMAO app.
Small children like me, …
Guess how I read that the first time. “Comon’ Frank, you’re not that small.”
In re the “BTW” post and comments – This post is an obvious fake – this is proof that nefarious persons have kidnapped Frank J. and intend to do him harm. First, they are trying to destroy his reputation by posting unfunny Random Thoughts that are not even random, but predictable and formulaic. Princess Buttercup may be in danger – I say we roll the posse.
Um, Moses didn’t part the Red Sea. God did most of the work.
My brother got a few good t-shirts for my nephew this Christmas,
My favorite:
Everytime you Haz Cheezburgerz,
God kills a dozen LOLcats.
(Under a picture of a pile of dead LOLcats)
Hold off, Penultimatum. Frank did warn us he would be using an algorithm to write blog posts. I think that’s what we’re seeing here. In 2011, I intend to use a similar algorithm to post comments.
“I thought I was more than just “a reader” by now.” -MarkoMancuso
Guffaw! Guffaw! Guffaw! Guffaw!
(That was a test of my new algorithm, Marko. It takes very little to make it “guffaw” uncontrollably and right now, that’s all it can do. It’s not very analytical, nor does it pay attention to who it’s talking to. Kind of like Frank
‘s.)Snort. Nerds.
Didja ever see the movie Colossus? It kinda started the same way and ended with two computers threatening to nuke the world.
Geez, if we’d known you were taking requests we would have come up with something good.
I got sucked into a free droid phone too. I’m using it as a mobile hotspot as we speak.
Well, as I type, I don’t know when you’ll read this.
“Of course I’ve heard of Rudolph, because he’s – as you just said – THE MOST FAMOUS REINDEER OF ALL!”
Actually, I’ve never thought of it before your post Frank, but stating that Rudolph was the “most” famous reindeer of all infers that other reindeer are also famous, just not the “most” famous. Are there actually other famous reindeer I’m not aware of?
I’ve been suspended from watching my Hawkeye’s for the first 5 games of next year’s season. I took some of my bling and other stuff down to Tony’s Tattoo Parlor. I wanted a giant Dragon with the words “Suck It” tattooed on my junk. As it turns out Tony suggested a small worm with “Suc” being the best he could do. So now I am without my Tat and I can’t watch my team for 5 games. Life isn’t fair!
ussjc: When I heard about Pryor and those other idiots getting suspended I was filled with glee. I mean, it’s not going to effect their season since their first 4 games are nonconference against Podunk U, Nobody St, a women’s finishing school, and Saint Ignatus’ School for the Blind. But anything that makes Ohio St look bad is great in my book.
Then I found out what they got suspended for. I was like, really? That’s so retarded that they don’t even deserve punishment. But like I said, anything that makes OSU look bad I’m all for.
Droid. I think you’ll like it. Especially the 2-hour battery life. Oh, wait, that’s what you’ll hate about it.
The good news, if you spend $50 for a desk dock, it’ll stay charged all day. And if you spend another $40 for a car dock, you’ll have a fully-charged phone when you get where you’re going.
Other than the battery life (actually more than 2 hours, less than a full workday), after 2 days, I loved mine. You stick it out and find a way to keep the battery charged, you’ll probably love yours, too.
“Johnathan Coulton’s song Still Alive is one of the most awesome songs ever made”
I rather enjoy, “re your brains”
Merry Christmas Frank!

While “Re: Your Brains” is awesome, the zombies in that song never offered us cake. Even if GlaDOS’s cake is a lie, I still appreciate the offer.
I´m sorry dude, I have that shirt and i´ve been called “geek” thousand of times. But only by geeks! xDDD
Best wishes from Spain! (sorry about my english 😉
