More Chickens!!!

Ok at Denny's we were talking about cool web sites well here it is.

SubservientChicken.com

This website is a guy in a chicken outfit with teeth and a garter belt who stands around his living room waiting for you to tell him stuff to do. There is a text box at the bottom and he will act out what ever you want him to say. The only problem is that this chicken has a camera and the ability to amuse

Things to tell him to do:
dance like John Travolta
find weapons of mass destruction
cross the road
eat KFC
yoga upward dog
take off mask
tango

Here comes the science. This guy (his name is Jordan BTW) has very cleverly created a shockwave site. You type out a question or sentence, and in this case his 'shockwave-bot' serves up a shockwave file that closely approximates the appropriate action by key word or phrase; sit, stand, jump, etc..

His .swf directory is quite extensive.

ok tell me what you made the pore chicken do. Talyn be nice to him don't tell him to eat kittens or something.

X-Mas Time

So I just woke up looking forward to X-Mas ... Ok I'm not looking forward to X-Mas I just wanted someone to buy me this.

It'll wait while you look ....

Come on it's rubber chickens. A dozen for less than seven bucks. I can imagine a planet where every third-world child has a chicken as a pet. Just think about it ... the Joker never had it this good. Now he can buy anti-Batman weapons over the internet.

(dodges qubeley's attack)

Oh forget. I'll see you guys when I get out of work. I'm off to the grind stone.

Caught With Your Smarty-Pants Down

Ok so for the last couple of months I have been leaving work early so I can pick up my sister from school. My mother enrolled her in an after school science program. It's great. She seems to enjoy it and the time we spend together on the playground talking about what she learned is also great. She is really reaching me a lot about theoretical Astrophysics, quantum mechanics and Dark Matter.

The one thing that I hate about it are these irritating soccer moms that talk on their cell phones the hole time and have the urge to park right on the fire zone. Nothing irritates me more than a lazy mother that does not want to walk more than 20 feet to pick up their osh kosh bgosh child. You know the kind that tries to be safe by diving an SUV. Well maybe it you were not holding a phone up to their ear while driving it would actually be safe. You know aside from the high tip-over rate that SUV's have they are really save. But I know what they have to say ... It's in case of the snow. Guess what stupid, this is Rockland County. They close schools for 2 inches of snow. Where are you going to take your child in the snow. I got it!!! They ARE driving their SUV's because of the snow. With the amount of Fossil Fuels that we are burning in 15-20 years we won't have any snow. EVER.

Well anyway so I got home from work and I did not leave right away because my sister is never released by 4:30 like they said. She gets out at 4:45. Well I don't want to wait at the schools with all the MILF's. They irritate me too much.

Well for the past god knows how many weeks, all I have heard Wednesday nights is, "Don't forget to pick up your sister. Don't forget to pick up your sister. Don't forget to pick up your sister." And the same today. I got so aggravated that I just yelled, "Hey I know what time I have to leave. I'll go when I go." I knew what I was doing and I left my house at 4:30 and arrived at the school at 4:40. A whole 5 minutes early. Wouldn't you know it that today was the last day so they let the kids out early. She was waiting for me. It was only a couple of minutes she said and I don't think I left any abandonment scars but I still feel stupid.

Believe me I know. I had to deal with after school abandonment too when I was a kid. Or as the called it then "Latchkey." The program ended at 6:00pm. My parents got out of work at 3:30. Boy did that suck having to wait there past six for my parents with a very angry teenager. These people were willing to give me five bucks, call a cab and wish me 'best of luck.'

Oh well but it's official. This is an advanced apology for my sister for when she she gets on live journal... Five years from now.

More Quiz

You are water. You're not really organic; you're neither acidic nor basic, yet you're an acid and a base at the same time. You're strong willed and opinionated, but relaxed and ready to flow. So while you often seem worthless, without you, everything would just not work. People should definitely drink more of you every day.

Road Trip

From the website The Homestead and The Evergreens

The Emily Dickinson Museum: The Homestead and The Evergreens consists of two historic houses in the center of Amherst, Massachusetts, closely associated with the poet Emily Dickinson and members of her family during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Homestead was the birthplace and home of the poet Emily Dickinson. The Evergreens, next door, was home to her brother Austin, his wife Susan, and their three children.

The Emily Dickinson Museum is dedicated to educating diverse audiences about Emily Dickinson’s life, family, creative work, times, and enduring relevance, and to preserving and interpreting the Homestead and The Evergreens as historical resources for the benefit of scholars and the general public.

Oh I'm going. Even if I have to drag one of my friends with me. All I got to say is: someone better learn how to drive stick quick because I'm going.

Origin

As a kid my parents and I used to watch Quantum Leap. A great SciFi show with Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell. Well over time my parents lost interest and we stopped watching it. Later on while I was in high school I got into it. The TV show had ended and I was still watching it. Anyway. There are a few episodes to talk about before we can continue with our lesson.

--- Episode #44: Future Boy – October 6, 1957
Sam leaps Kenny Sharp, better known as "Future Boy", sidekick to Moe Stein, host of the kid's show, "Time Patrol," who also happens to be building a time machine in his basement. Unless Sam can prevent Moe's daughter from attempting to have her father committed, Moe is destined to be killed as he tries to hop a freight train. The point of the story is that at the end Moe Stein gets a letter from a boy that is wondering about time travel. Moe tells him that time travel is better explained using a piece of string. If you can crumple the time line into one big ball than you will be able to jump from point to point. This is the same explanation that Sam got from Al in the first episode. The reason for this is because the little boy who sent the letter is Sam Beckett as a young man. The show and this explanation is the whole basis for his work on Quantum Mechanics.

--- Episode #31: M.I.A. - April 1, 1969
Sam leaps into an police officer, Al explains that his mission is to convince a navy nurse that her MIA husband is still alive, and to prevent her from marrying a lawyer she meets on the day Sam leaps in. Sam later discovers that the nurse is Al's first wife and he is the MIA husband. But since that is not Sam's mission he can not do anything about it. So she ends up marrying the lawyer and Al looses her.

--- Episode #97: Mirror Image – August 8, 1953
Sam lands in a not-so-ordinary bar in a coal-mining town, where strange things are happening and familiar people don't know him. With the help of another Al, he realizes that he has to go back and change something. He goes back to April 1, 1969. There he tells Al's wife that he truely is coming home and that she should not remarry. So this changes everything. Al never joins the Quantum Leap project and thus Sam never comes back home.

This episode moved me very much and I really felt bad because of the ending I saw how important friendship is. I know it seems kind of stupid to take it out of a TV show but hey you should have seen the 'quantity' of friends I had in high school.

Where does Episode 44 come in you may ask. Well while sitting in the bar he sees a clip of a 1955 TV show called Captain Z-RO. The introduction was redone so the role of the captain was played by the same actor who played Moe Stein in Episode 44.

I thought this was cool. Later during my brief stint in college this girl I was hanging around with a lot was helping me make my hotmail account. She asked me what I wanted as my user name. I am not really sure what possessed me to use that. I think I had used it before while I was on AOL but I'm not sure why I used it then either. But all I know is that from that moment on I will be ZroMan . . .

P.S. the episode sysnopsis were ripped off http://www.tvtome.com and I feel bad about it. But there is no way in hell I'm going to remember all of that crap.
