I like Google and all... but since when are they the Gods Of Industry?

I mean really!

Is inanity insipid by default?

Consider, if you will, this article.

PS. I had 3 paragraphs written about this, went to use Blogger's spellchecker. Suddenly, everything I had typed is gone. Fucking Blogger. MEZZO! We Need To Switch To Wordpress! Or we should start hosting this on TeamEngrishHG.com and stop using the Blogger web interface to post! I am using IE at the moment. So the problem can't be blamed on Opera, either. Damn you Blogger! DAMN YOU!

Tag, Mezzo, You're It.

I got tagged a while ago but didn't actually do anything about it until today. Why today? Well I saw Jumper at TGI Friday's and felt guilty that I hadn't followed through.

I am thinking about: How Open Season looks lame and how I'm sick of bad celebrity voice acting in cartoons.
I want to: take photographs that make people realize things they hadn't previously understood.
I wish: an army of emo ninja minions... and a winning lotto ticket.
I hear: Patty, Selma, and a train going by.
I wonder: if I'm in the right career.
I regret: like I'm gonna tell you...
I am: ... that's all... I am.
I dance: when I walk past my boss's office door but he hasn't noticed yet.
I sing: to myself constantly.
I cry: never.
I make with my hands: people suffocate... well I'd like to.
I write: things that I find humorous and give only the narrowest view into who I am without ever really letting the reader get to know me... cause almost all the readers already do.
I confuse: you (see "I write:")
I need: patience.
And finally: what was the point of this? Appeasement... not a Kennedy reference.

Southpark's been around 10 years now!

Like most 10 year olds, it's not quite as cute as it used to be.
Like most 10 year olds it has a knowitall smart ass attitude that really has no substance behind it.
Like most 10 year olds it's going to be the better part of a decade before you can fuck it.



Too far? Well of course it is! This is "Mental Fiber, the blog" not "Mental Fiber, your mom crammin grape nuts up her nose."

You could do these things too, and i could pretend!

We'll all just pretend I just did all these things and subsequently I will get more hits.

Dear Diary: Add this to the list of things that made me shit my pants.

It's a short list and the content of this link is on it. 

I need an Opera t-shirt that proves I was there, that I heard of it first.

Ok.. so the title is just a rewritten line from a Cake(McCrea) song but it's still true. A friend of mine used my computer recently and said to me "I see you are using Opera now, too!" My first thought was "Who else do you know that would be using Opera?" but soon after thinking that I thought "How insulting that her comment seems to imply that this other person, whoever they are, was using it before me; or that I was either copying or following someone else's trend!" Well it wasn't quite like that but you get the idea. I make the trends, baby, and if you can't handle the ride then get the hell off my train (subsequenly, look for it to become trendy to never wear pants around your house unless you have company).  I haven't been representing properly. I wasn't making my preference known. So now I am. I use the Opera broswer. I have for quite some time. I used Mozilla Firefox just long enough to realize it sucks and switched back to IE. IE sucks too, though, and I needed a browser that didn't. So I looked around found Opera. Opera has consistently improved. It is better everyday. Most of the problems I find are actually with the site and not the browser. However, even those are going away as Opera is updated to adapt and get around these problems. I am a member of the Opera community. I support it. You should too.

I hope that you will enojoy spending whatever portion of my $44.28 that is net profit as you go about your business in Kyoto. For our part, my wife and I will surely enjoy browing the internet with our Nintendo DS using the DS Browser (Opera 8.5) you have sold us. We are looking forward to the interesting stamps and stickers on the package when it arrives as neither of us have ever ordered something directly from someone in Japan before. I anticipate that our transaction will all go smoothly since paypal has already confirmed that the necessary exchanges have occured. Today is a good day, and you are a fine merchant.

I could use your help.

I have a customer whose AOL software was causing issues. She had cancelled aol so our tech walked her through uninstalling AOL. He was smart enough to have saved the file information (address book, emails, crap like that) to her desktop. Now she wants to access that information and she wants us to do it. It's not really our job but we have a good customer with a good relationship so we'd like to do it. The problem is there is lots of software out there that makes this quick and easy but it all costs money.

Do any of you know of a free method for pulling this off? I've been searching via Google but I have limited time to devote to this and haven't found a whole lot. I know at least 3 of the regular readers here either work in PC repair or own their own PC repair business. I'm sure you've encountered this before.

I done this before. I found a tool long ago that I've forgotten the name of and can't find anymore.

Here's a time waster for you.

You got like 10 minutes before you have to leave but you're already set to go? You thought you'd just check your email but you didn't have any, right?

This is the perfect opportunity to test whether or not you can tell the difference between sex toys and baby toys.

Enjoy!

Or you could take a look at the marvels of Japanese automated service and vending machines!

Konichiwa bitches!

Or you could watch this video. (Warning: It's not the video from The Ring but you are likely to die after watching it)

Or you could look at some pictures.

You could also chip in via Paypal so I can build one of these.

You could read this and tell me your opinion. Of course your opinion might be wrong.

Hospitals Are Trying To Screw You. So do these things cause I said so.

If your hospitalization isn't for an emergency, check your insurance policy to find out just what it will cover and how much it will pay. Be sure to carefully review the section on "exceptions and exclusions." It will tell you what your plan will not cover.
Phone the hospital's billing department and ask them what you will be charged for the room, and just what the room charges cover. If tissues aren't included, for example, bring your own.
Ask your doctor to estimate your cost of treatment. Also, ask if you can bring your regular prescriptions from home to avoid paying for medications administered at the hospital.
Make sure that everyone who will be treating you -- the surgeon, anesthesiologist, radiologist, pathologist, etc. -- participates in your insurance plan.
If you can, keep your own log of tests, medications, and treatments. If you are not able to, ask a friend or loved one to do it for you.
At some point you will receive an explanation of benefits (EOB) from your insurance company (if you're on Medicare, you will receive a summary notice). It will say, "This is not a bill." Don't toss it in the trash. Examine it. It will tell you how much the hospital is charging, what your insurance plan will cover, and what you will have to pay out of your own pocket in deductibles and co-payments.
Never pay your bill before leaving the hospital -- even if you're told that it's required.
When you get your bill, read it carefully. Compare it to the log you made, to the EOB, and to the estimate of costs you requested before you were admitted.
If there are items you don't understand, call the billing department and your insurer, and ask them to explain. Don't accept bills that use terms like "lab fees," or "miscellaneous fees." Demand an itemization. If you don't get satisfaction from the hospital billing department -- and you probably won't -- appeal in writing to the hospital administrator or patient ombudsman.
If you are still scratching your head, ask for an itemized bill as well as your medical records to confirm whether or not you received the treatments and medications you've been billed for. Every state now requires hospitals to provide itemized bills.

I need a Rockwell Retro-Incabulator.

My current incabulator keeps breaking the dingle arm every time I try to use inverse reactive current for my unilateral phase detractor. The Rockwell is also capable of syncronizing cardinal gran meters. This would save countless hours of wear and tear on my prefameulated amialyte.

Rockwell, I love you.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Lego Star Wars 2, and Intercooling

I've been busy lately, and have been neglecting the blog...as Whackly told me last night, that it's been about a month since my last post. Well, here's what's happened in my realm.

My Xbox 360 which was sent to TX for repair came back, worked for a couple of weeks, and then just like that, the three red lights of death on the front once again. I called Microsoft AGAIN, and sent my broken xbox back to TX. Yesterday they sent me a new 360 not refurbished...so I'm back in the game again!

But it got me to thinking. During my troubles with the 360, I have been on every forum on xbox.com, and it seems that heat issues have been destroying perfectly good 360s...and my newest game Madden 07 seems to run fairly hot...(is it a coincidence I was playing Madden 07 when my first box stopped working for the second time?). Time for peace of mind. I think I'm going to go pick up an Intercooler fan attachment harness just in case. I don't want to go through the broken xbox cycle again. Plus, Whackly has one, and his 360 has been running perfectly since he got it...so it must work!

So in my bliss of my new 360, I bought Lego Star Wars 2 last night to play online with Whackly. It was both of our understandings that there would be online coop play ...but alas, there was NONE to be found! I didn't even open the package. It is going back to the store. I like Star Wars as much as anyone, but I doubt I would get my money's worth without the online experience. Lucas Arts, you disappoint me...I hope your Next Gen Star Wars game will not disappoint...because right now I am.

Cheap third world labor just isn't what it used to be...

... and, quite likely, neither is your keen observational sense.

Dr. Tichenor, you magnificent BASTARD!

Is this mouthwash or did the magical mint fairy blow a load in my mouth?

I know your beautiful bottle says that the concentrated mouthwash must be mixed with water in a 5:1 ratio before use, but do you really think that's enough? Shouldn't it be more like 12:1? 47:1?

Your mouthwash (properly diluted, I should add) was so strong it triggered my gag reflex and I ended up swallowing about 10 milliliters of it to avoid choking. Now I haven't had anything to eat or drink today except some advil and a sugar free bottle of Bawls so I can't blame the mouthwash for my stomach ache. However, if that crap liquifies my innards like the bite of giant spider or I end up eating my crap cause it smells like mint chip gellato I am SO suing!!!!!

I won $50 ($47 net) on a $3 Price Is Right scratch-off lotto ticket.

And according to my email I won this too! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
