Awesome Personified

Camera from inside a cruise ship in a storm

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 06:19:00 -0700

The camera never moves. But the boat sure does. From Gizmodo:

On August 1, the Pacific Sun ran into a heavy storm 400 miles north of New Zealand, hitting 25-foot-tall waves and 50-knot winds. Its 1732 passengers weren't prepared to endure the madness that ensued. Absolutely crazy.

The video seems like a slapstick comedy until you see people smacking against columns and walls. However, they were lucky: After returning to Auckland from its eight-night trip to the Vanuatu islands, only 42 passengers were injured.
One of the passengers said: "It was like being in a disaster movie. There were screams and people crying as they looked for their lost children." It sounds exactly like a cruise in good weather, but with moving furniture.

CNN Fail

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 04:49:33 -0700

From Michelle Malkin.

CNN did a pretty good job this weekend.

That's Glenn Beck, not Sarah Palin.

It's spelled Sarah Palin, not Sara Palin.

And I'm pretty sure she ran for Vice Pres, not President.

That's some quality reporting...

Rule #1 - Do not slow down in the rain

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 05:46:00 -0700

Image by ar.go.naut via Flickr

After another ridiculous commute this morning, I still don't understand how rain generates such panic in the drivers I have to deal with every day. If you are so scared of the rain that you feel like you have to slow down to half your normal speed on the interstate, then just stay home, and stare out the window quivering in fear at the gray sky that evidently seems supernatural to you. Or man up, drive like it's sunny, and stop being such a pussy.

The opposite rule applies when walking in the rain. This will henceforth be known as Rule #1a - Do not run in the rain. After you've meandered at half speed in your car on your way to work, pissing off good American drivers like myself, you get out of your car, and all of a sudden you turn into the wicked witch and run from your car to the door with an irrelevant newspaper over your head. You look like an idiot. Your family and friends should be ashamed of you. If you can't handle walking in the rain, how are you going to handle the real problems you have, like selecting which member of The View you like the most?

It's all about consistency. Rain should not affect the speed of your life. That's why some blind guy named Ralph invented cruise control.

The Ultimate Vacation Spot

Mon, 23 Aug 2010 05:44:21 -0700

I am so in for this during my next trip to Oz. Best vacation concept I've ever seen.

From the NY Post:

"The concept of the Lodge is a play on popular male fantasy, so the girls are there to hang out and ensure Lodge guests have fun," Lynx spokeswoman Laura O'Donnell told The Australian newspaper.

The resort's website says it offers guests the chance to golf, fish and play volleyball.
In the mornings, men can get breakfast in bed and "sexy wake-up calls" from staffers, which is comprised of a team of models. In the evenings, guests can also enjoy watching mud wrestling and taking part in a game of Twister with female staffers.
Guests can also relax at the spa or be treated to back rubs on request throughout the day.

Visit the Lynx Lodge here. Located outside of Sydney. The website has a "not suitable for Youtube" ad worth watching.
