I can’t see the video but that is because work is blocking it. Globa where did you end up anyway? You still in Florida? Admit it, you are going to miss our little redneck paradise here in Jacksonville. 🙂
I ended up in Melbourne, FL. It has few less rednecks. Less homocide, less tocxn run off, better air, better water, better schools, and I could go on. I will definitely not miss Jacksonville. Thank you for asking though. I’m sharing a computer for now so my time will be intermittent. The energy on the site now is amazing all. I am very proud of what this site has become and what it continues to achieve.
Melbourne? Really? You know they ripped the name off Austraila right? Well Jacksonville might not suit you but it is okay for me, for now. I am planning to retire somewhere in the keys. But then I was planning to be Bill Gates rich by now. Oh well.
Wow I got to see the hand, I swear I am not sure if the hand was british or not but it was funny. The liquid looked more like honey, a bit thick for oil really. The joke was funny though. Now all they need is some talking butt cheeks for Obama. LOL.
Oh and FYI I heard this and could not believe this. The fall back plan being considered to stop the leak now. If this new attempt fails and with the saw getting stuck it seemed it would. Yes that is right the saw they were cutting the pipe with got stuck and I believe is broken.
Well a plan being considered is one suggested by the Russians. Hit it with a nuke. ROLFMAO, sorry but that is something I would expect the US to come up first. Hit it with a nuke that will fix it. So what do you want more? Oil or radiation? Better yet, irradiated oil? Anyway night all and sweet dreams.
right, Greg. thanks for the comment about the viscosity of my oil; i suppose you thought the hand looked like a real person, then?
why would Obama be a pair of butt cheeks? that just seems like it wouldn’t work out too well as a video project. have you been listening to rush limbaugh again?

as for the russians and nuking the oil gusher, i’m not ready to roll on the laughing floor, with my ass off, or whatever your acronym refers to. apparently, they’ve done just that kind of thing before.
how did the hairless monkeys get to this point? they made some tools, which seemed to get better over time–then suddenly they’ve destroyed themselves and their planet. hyperbole? i’m not so sure anymore.
Logo, you gotta laugh at the lunacy of it all or you will go crazy.
As for Rush, Yeah I listen when I can. As with most things it is like picking out veggies, you sort out the bad and rotten and keep the good ones.
It was not meant as a negative comment, I thought the hand looked like a very real British person, well minus the teeth.
If can’t learn to laugh at some of the ridiculous nature of our existance and the complete stupidity of some things then what’s the point? I took the video as a humorous content and as such decided it was to laugh.
The butt cheeks, yeah you could do it with pants on, I am seriously seeing the funny in that. Oh well, hope you understand no offense was intended. Besides I would hope you would not really pour oil on your hand, that stuff is toxic to the skin you know. 🙂
The butt cheeks are funny. It would take a lot more work for sure but lately I don’t know why politicians even talk. They should just tweet or update their facebook status.
no, i wasn’t offended–just trying to sort out your logic is all.
but i think i am beginning to pick up on your very special brand of humor. sort of a dark, southern brand that i recall in some of the men in my family when i was growing up. it’s like you’re resigned to a world of injustice and absurdity, and you are invested in the sense of community that resignation supplies. just thinking out loud. not to put you in a box or anything.
Yeah that is a fair assessment I believe. Even as I was growing up I always found humor in the weirdest things. And yeah my humor is sometimes really dark. In any case your hand video was funny, have to admit you are braver than I am. Not sure I would put my humor and spin on things out there to be judged.
Ok so offbeat topic, why the hell did the never make Rice Krispies in a foreign language? I mean what would snap crackle and pop sound like in France? Would it actually make the sounds in French? Would there be subtitles? Perhaps we should have Rice Krispies for the hearing impaired. Anyway, weird ramblings in my brain.
yes, that is quite an offbeat topic. but not unheard of. i imagine each language has its own little version and ad campaign for american products. that has been my observation in at least a few countries.
speaking of which, has anyone seen any bp commercials lately? i wonder how they’re going to spin this one.
(BP commercial, pan to a cut scene of a beach front, then slide left to a beach front with BP oil pumps on the beach. )
“Here at BP our oil is so accessible you can find it anywhere.
We are working hard to the get the oil to you. In fact it is so close you might actually be touching some now.
And in a movement to help our customers further we have introduced our new seaside supply initiative.”
(Pan back to a guy covered in oil with a bucket and sponge, in the background a flock of oil covered seagulls walk haphazardly.)
“Come on down to the beach, free sponge and bucket with each visit.”
Play company catchy song tune.

June 2, 2010This will get a million hits. If not I will watch it a milion times and give you those hits. Not that it matters.
Gosh. They should all be talking hadns now. Obama shows about as much empathy as a talking hand now as well.
Very dry British Humor as well. Monty Python would be proud.

and i imagine that at this point for most of the people in the gulf states, the empathy of anyone who doesn’t live there seems fake.
