Beyond Rock, Paper, Scissors
Just like people learning Klingon and actually speaking it, I can see some hard core people learning this to prove the spot in the geek hierarchy. Someone has come up with 22 more things including dynamite, alien, wolf, bowl (holds water), gun and more. The chart also shows all of the elements that it beats. Complex but I see some people getting into it. Not me. I am too busy blogging.

From A Galaxy Far Away, A Soy Sauce Bottle
Nothing to say except there is nothing Lucas won’t merchandise. I am sure there is some android he can license as a pooper scooper.
He should license a Jawa Jawbreaker vending machine. Instant classic.

No commentsMan Chases Down Naked Car Thief
I love these weird stories if for no other reason than there is always so stupid quote from someone. Here is my favorite.
“Instantaneously, I thought someone was just playing in it. Once he got to the gate and crashed through the gate, I knew something wasn’t right,” Johnson said.
Really? When he crashed through the gate you knew something wasn’t right? It wasn’t when a NAKED GUY jumped into the tow truck. It wasn’t when the NAKED GUY started the vehicle or even when he began driving. It was when he crashed through the gate that you knew something wasn’t right with the NAKED GUY.

No commentsWhich Fork To Use During The Holidays
Click here for the pdf to understand the whole shebang. I just want a steak knife, fork and a hammer.
I don’t need the spoon because I don’t like soup. The steak knife will take care of cutting and spreading needs. I only eat what I like so I will clean off my own fork thank you very much.
The hammer? That is for lobster and any buddy who wants to give me shit for not using the “correct” untensil. Bastards.

Monday Night TV
I love TV. I haven’t become jaded enough to hate everything like critics and many bloggers do. Here are my shows.
How I Met Your Mother - Great show anchored by Neil Patrick Harris. The writing is fantastic and the creativity is over the top. Last night’s episode was a perfect example of that. This show is better than Friends.
Big Bang Theory - I can’t figure out if I like this because I can see some of me in these nerds or because it is just good. The ensemble isn’t as good or at least they haven’t used them as well so far. One of the characters reminds me of David Hyde Pierce from Frasier.
Heroes - I got bored and finally the creator apologized for pacing it as slow as the first season. I liken that too the build up for a first kiss. You can’t take that same amount of time for the second. Last nights episode filled everything in and got me interested again. Hopefully the writers strike doesn’t kill it.
Chuck - I am going back and forth on this one. If I didn’t find the love interest to be unbelievably hot with a touch of cuteness, I may have given up. Once again last night they got me hooked with a great reveal in the story.
But Journeyman is the one you have to see. It is a great idea which I can admit is taken loosely from Quantum Leap. But this show is much deeper into the character.
His wife has to deal with him just popping out of time. His brother is trying to figure out his secret and messed up by getting the FBI involved. His “dead” ex-girlfriend is found in alive in the past helping him in his time jumps.

Worst Method Of Suicide
I have never understood painful suicides. If you are killing yourself to avoid the pain of life, why would you slit your wrist, take a shot at your head that may not hit the mark or jump off a buliding? The ones that made sense to me was the closed garage with the car running or sleeping pills so it is painless. The guy in this story figured out one of the most horrific ideas for suicide. And if it had gone wrong…
I won’t break up the story. Go here. The last line is the best.

Weirdest story. How does the grandfather screw up that bad? How does the kid not protest in the slightest?
Best quote,
Zacari’s mother, Latoia Gillis, said “They don’t have the same name. They don’t even look alike.”
We can laugh since no one got hurt or touched.
