A boat of Gravy

Harry Potter

2010-11-12T04:41:00.001-08:00

Who's going to the midnight showing (or earliest showing possible) of the new Harry Potter film?

So yeah

2010-11-01T15:17:00.001-07:00

So I was away for a bit, due to Hal-Con. Shit was cash. Seriously, actual cash. They made the whole convention, the venue, all the costumes, out of actual money.
Prove me wrong.

Mornings

2010-10-21T02:46:00.001-07:00

Bleh. Still pitch black out. This kind of darkness should only mean either sleep or gaming, not getting ready for work. My body is rejecting this like a wooden liver.

The Bible

2010-10-20T02:31:00.000-07:00

My favorite part of the bible was when Jesus, with his magic staff and flying cloud, traveled across the world gathering the magic balls to wish his friend John the Baptist back to life. It got kind of boring though when he spent MONTHS on Namek fighting the romans.

What thyme is it?

2010-10-18T02:53:00.001-07:00

A peanut butter jelly thyme sandwich is not as delicious as one might think.

No more ads!

2010-10-17T06:03:00.000-07:00

So hey. Google adsense has shut down my account because it "poses a risk of generating potentially false clicks" so therefore, no more ads. Not on my choice, but whatever. From now on you guys don't need to see ads, just my regular blogging.

Halloween Edition GvN

2010-10-15T10:12:00.000-07:00

Just in time for Halloween, it's Pennywise versus Chucky!
Who is the most terrifying childhood trauma?
Geeks versus Nerds is a debate-style comedy show recorded live at Joker's Comedy Club in downtown Halifax. We debate the things nobody else has the guts or tenacity to debate. Obscure facts, trash talk, and personal attacks are all welcome and encouraged. Well-known local comedians (such as Brian from the comedy group Picnicface) also frequently participate.

Just in time for Halloween, it's Pennywise versus Chucky! Recorded live on Monday, October 11th, 2010, it is now available for your listening pleasure!

Content warning: This podcast contains trash talk, foul language, and general silliness. Pay attention to the content warning song. Which also contains foul language and general silliness.

You folks might wonder why I'm posting things like this. Well, to be truthful, I am one of the performers in this show, and in the previous one I linked.

I think you'll enjoy it, this was a solidly good show from both teams. Lots of jokes, and an "old guard" (not me) goes into a rant about myspace and cancer at one point. I almost turned in the rebuttal token on my own teammate to say "Rules 1 and 2 bitch!"

Yet another installment of Geeks Versus Nerds

Smurfs Versus Fraggles: Which is the mini master race?

Geeks Versus Nerds is a debate style comedy show recorded live at Joker's Comedy Club.

If you want to hear the portion that is recorded live in front of an audience, you can skip the introduction bit which is pre-recorded. However the intro is pretty good. Skip to 3 minutes in if you'd like to skip it.

Thanksgiving (Canadian)

2010-10-10T21:19:00.001-07:00

Thanksgiving: The holiday where the great pumpkin rises from the pumpkin patch to give gifts to all the good kids and hide painted eggs, and then the pilgrims eat monster mashed potatoes while inserting something about kwanzaa here.

Go for the gusto

2010-10-07T03:08:00.001-07:00

Today is one of those days where a person should really just wear a space helmet and a cape, because hey, why not?

Double decker all the way

2010-10-05T18:07:00.001-07:00

Alright, so as we know, an "upper decker" is when you take a shit in the toilet tank instead of the bowl.

A "Stalled double decker" is when you take a shit in the tank AND in the bowl, and don't flush. I just came up with that. And created the first one.

Cut off my left thumb?

2010-10-04T06:03:00.001-07:00

I kind of want to get my left thumb cut off, so I can go "Hey, who has two thumbs and just... oh, wait... damn." and then act all sad when I "remember" I only have one thumb.

This is my dream.

Minecraft cosplay

2010-10-03T09:52:00.001-07:00

Planning some Minecraft cosplay for Hal-Con. Thinking of just getting a blue-green shirt and some jeans, and putting a cardboard box on my head with the main player face on it. Also cutting out a pixelly pickaxe and a sword out of cardboard and painting them.

The manstrual cycle

2010-09-30T14:30:00.001-07:00

Once every 25 or 30 days or so, men get the urge
to do something manly, such as building something, moving some
furniture, that sort of thing. They always inadvertently wind up cutting
themselves on something and bleeding for a few days afterwards. This is
referred to as "manstration" and is part of the natural cycle ...of being a
man.

orangeteeth

2010-09-29T02:43:00.001-07:00

So eating an orange after brushing your teeth is of course pretty nasty, however brushing your teeth after eating an orange is no picnic either.

Little D knows how to make an entrance

2010-09-28T02:29:00.000-07:00

Best possible way to make an entrance: somersault into a room, and then declare you're from the future.

A very Potter Sequel rocks hard.

What about Batman?

2010-09-26T15:45:00.000-07:00

So hey. Batman. Can beat anyone with enough preparation time? Perhaps.
But can he beat hemorrhoids, with enough preparation H?

Candy corn

2010-09-24T02:43:00.001-07:00

This must be tachyon candy corn, I got a sugar rush before eating it.

The might of... Hercules

2010-09-22T02:50:00.000-07:00

To say getting up this morning to drag myself to work required a Herculean effort doesn't do it justice. I prefer to reference specific parts of Hercules' labors. Getting up this morning to drag myself to work was like Hercules holding up the world while Atlas retrieved the golden apples for him.

Two great tastes that taste great together

2010-09-20T02:55:00.000-07:00

Step 1: Get a wrap.
Step 2: Smear peanut butter all over one side of the wrap.
Step 3: Add macaroni and cheese.
Step 4: Wrap the wrap and seal it using a George Foreman grill or other similar style cooler.
Step 5: Eat the best fucking wrap ever.

Hal-Con

2010-09-17T16:37:00.000-07:00

So hey, who has heard of the Hal-Con sci-fi/fantasy/gaming/anime convention?

It's going to be pretty fucking epic, so you should probably figure out a way to go.

Google it.

Warning, incoming game

2010-09-15T16:09:00.001-07:00

Let these guys entertain you for a bit.

Facebook, moar liek FACEbook.. oh wait

2010-09-14T17:38:00.000-07:00

So hey. Facebook is pretty much THE big fucking thing on the internet now, right?

I mean, there are GAME companies that make their entire living just off of the games they make for ON facebook, just for the premium items they charge for.

So hey, what do you folks think about that anyways? Kind of an odd business model but it seems to work. Facebook itself is free but the guys that run it are zillionaires. Facebook games are free, but the companies get rich off the premium content.

Personally, I've been avoiding Farmville like the plague, just on the principal. This might sound hypocritical since I play FRONTIERville, but damn it, I'm sticking to my guns. Farmville is THE big one everybody goes on about.

Electronics

2010-09-13T03:23:00.000-07:00

So I've got an ipod, a couple computers, a satellite radio (I got for free) and of course various video game consoles. It seems these days everyone (except the amish) have tons of electronics.

What do you have, and which is your favorite? Which piece of electronics STILL blows your mind?

Apple pepsi, pepsi with apple

2010-09-12T12:12:00.000-07:00

"Apple Pepsi" is freakin' delicious.

It's 3/4 Pepsi, 1/4 apple juice.

Alternately, apple WITH pepsi, is 3/4 apple juice, 1/4 pepsi. Also delicious.

The same applies to orange juice. Someone argued that you are only supposed to combine pepsi with vodka, likewise you are only supposed to combine orange juice with vodka.

I therefore argue that pepsi and orange juice are the same thing, and thus there is no harm in combining them.
