China: Olympic Fuckup

Via Japanprobe, video proof from the Chinese Marathon that China can't pour water out of a boot if the instructions are printed on the bottom.

Good luck with instituting their "no spitting" "no smoking" and "no critical thinking" initiatives in time for the Olympics.

Watch the World Cup on your computer

From BoingBoing. Seems, given the crap they've taken from some demented lawyerarchy, this is the least I can do.

Paul Boutin: how to watch FIFA World Cup live on your PC
Paul Boutin has written a tutorial that shows you how to watch the FIFA World Cup live on your PC. Link(Boing Boing would like to thank Baker & McKenzie, and their client, Infront Sports and Media for letting us know about the World Cup. Before receiving their letter, I didn't know what a World Cup was. Now, I do.)

Pyramid of Drunkards 

Or period of unemployment. You know, tanning always bores me senseless; I suddenly discover that I have a need to pee every 15 minutes, my book is dull (the same book that is fascinating indoors) and there are all these tiny little critters with far too many legs outdoors. Perhaps I should start my day with one of these fine drinking games instead of my usual coffee and oatmeal; it would at least keep me occupied, and might keep me motionless after a time. Beer has oats in it, right? And whiskey has rye. Excellent!

Anyway, here is a roundup of drinking games, courtesy of that beacon of responsibility in hive mind, Wikipedia. One notes, with regret, one does, that they do not list my own family's contribution to the sport: The Grinch Drinking Game.

Better than Hoo HashThe Grinch Drinking Game is quite simple. Watch "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and take a drink every time they say "Hoo." Since they say it eighteen times in the theme song and they sing the theme song three times in the show, no-one has ever made it all the way through or if they did they do not remember.

We assume no liability. Or intelligence.
