The last 2 days I have had CNBC on in the background instead of ESPN.
Both have lots of people arguing with each other.
Neither employ anyone that has a clue as to what they are talking about
Both "break" stories that aren't entirely accurate.
Neither are that much better than watching infomercials although both are more entertaining and topical.
Both make me wonder who the hell I don;t have a job. I can convincingly talk for hours over things I know nothing about. I can argue too!
Neither hire based upon intelligence but rather by looks and volume of voice
Both have cool scrolling things at the bottom and when I am looking for soemthing on the scrolling thing I always miss it by half a second
Neither has given me the knowledge to succeed (in fantasy sports or money).
Both are endlessly mock-able, and I'm sure there are whole blog dedicated out there to mocking CNBC, I already read half of the ones that attack ESPN.
CNBC has so many graphics it feels like I am watching it on HD. It makes MTV seem like it is targetted toward people with a normal attention span.
ESPN has funnier ads.
Oh and if someone were smart, those annoying jesus-rick ads they've been showing on ESPN would start popping up on CNBC. I'm just saying, it might be a good idea.

So how goes the job search, you ask?
Rejected, by the dollar store. I am not even worth a dollar. I am truly priceless.
You cannot quit Chrome

Not-Sexist:
This hurt, but still made me laugh:

Actually I had a really good interview today and I have another on thrusday.
10 years ago I suffered from a Spice Girls Obsession. Don't count that as a negative against me, it was purely sexual, it wasn't like I enjoyed any of their music, or even owned a single CD. The movie, well I am guilty of ownership.
Every fantasy sports player understands how this feels.
This sums it up perfectly. Except I like Peggy Hill.
Matt Gutierrez, the Pats new 3rd string QB. It's a grey area, but we'll go with it for now.
I needed to update so why not some blatant self-promotion, It's all still small scale but I'm ok with that as long as one or two of you click some links.
Sports fans help me out here! And then click HERE. to vote and give some life to my crap.
Then head on over to my blog Pip's Bad Ideas, because that sports site did not like my Dancing with the Stars preview. Losers.
Don't worry I'll not become a whiny, click beggar. I'll do the right thing from here on in and just leave my blog link at the bottom where it is safe to ignore. It's just that it has been about a month, and I have managed a daily update everyday, plus one weekly feature. Once DWTS stars starts it'll be 2 weekly feature. I'm looking to layer things in a pretty rigid fashion. The target is the Daily update, 5-7 weekly series, 4-8 monthly things, plus a few scattered random bits of goodness. The magic number in 60. 2 posts a day. Once I get there I'll split the thing up into component parts, get focused and start treating this as more than just a fooling around writing exercise.
And oh yes, of course I have enough Ideas to hit those numbers. Plumbing the depths of brain is not so scary to me.
Oh and THIS is bullshit. You cannot turn funny into an equation! One day I shall launch my attack on them and they shall rue the day. Actually I am too lazy to ever do that.

Yeah that is what you think it is. I feel like I did the first time I wore a pair of Doc Martins to High School, like I had personally killed a trend. It did not stop then, and it won't stop me know. Maybe if I can singlehandedly make blogging not cool, more people will read my blog....muauahahahahaha. See the blog itself is a PBI in action!
I'll keep personal stuff here and stupid/fun shit there. I'll cross post some of the fun stuff, like next year's Mock Madness and the bracket based upon last year's winner. And some other stuff, especially if I start getting some decent feedback. So if you want your Daily Disambiguation, go there.
I'll update you on job search crap later on this week.

Mylf and I were talking about other franchises that should be made into Lego-based video games. Her son is currently obsessed with Lego Indianna Jones for the Wii and I have to admit, it is well done. Today I ran across this list and felt that they only got 2 out of 10 right. A-Team is right and then Alien and Predator should of course be the same game.
Here's my list:
Big Trouble Little China
Kill Bill (only one quentin movie and after much thought, this is it.)
Sin City (only one Rodriquez movie as well)
Goonies
Harry Potter
Transformers
GI Joe
Jurassic Park
James Bond
Scooby-Doo
Srsly, you guys srsly, think before you blog. Their comments had some decent suggestions as well, but I'll stick to my list.

Happy Eleventy-first birthday Swiss Army Knife!
Sidetrack:
I wiki'd the term "elevnty-first" to check if I got it right. I did. But the wiki page for the number 111 is insane!
It's got the nickname Nelson, because when the Admiral Nelson dies he had one eye, one leg, and one ball.
It's a crazy prime number in nearly every other base.
It's a Perfect totient number. Whatvere the fuck that means.
It's also referred to as the Triple Moss.
Who knew that we humans could be so interested in a number that isn't at all round?
