Frog's House of Infinite Wisdom

And to think that I was actually CONSIDERING getting up early for the "Black Friday" sale at Home Depot. This is how people act when they are trying to save a couple of bucks.

At long last, I finally have an Xbox 360 in my hot little hands. Initially, I thought I was crazy for putting a reserve in June for a system coming out in November, but it would seem that it was the right move. At midnight last night, I went to EBGames, picked up my unit and drove to Best Buy to see if it was a circus in the parking lot. (They weren't selling the units until 9am the next day.)

It was. There were six tents and about fifty people sitting, standing, eating pizza, playing kickball, and shivering near the front gate. And I drove by, Xbox 360 in the passenger seat, warm and toasty in my truck. Not that I'm gloating. The fact is that the units are in such short supply that some of those people waiting in line for 9 hours are probably crying right now, because there just aren't enough units out there to keep up with demand. That particular Best Buy probably only got around 35 units.

Anyway, I've gotten very little sleep as I've been up all night and throughout the day testing this thing... check back for my review...

...and no, I'm not talking about Paris Hilton. In Sioux Falls, South Dakota, a young pervert was caught having sex with a store's display mannequin.

Police spokesman Loren McManus said: "There was inappropriate activity between him and the mannequin. That's the only way I know how to put it."

Andrew McCarthy was unavailable for comment.

I just looked at this trailer and I'm man enough to admit that I almost teared up... it's so exciting!

His official response? "It wasn't me... it was Puff Daddy. P. Diddy ain't no chubby chaser!"

I am sick of all of this war politicization.

Before I rant, I must tell you that I truly respect the people that honestly object to this war. I'm talking about the people that cry for the young people that are in a foreign land, fighting a war with objectives that aren't as clear as WWII. I think about them, too.

I do have a problem with these politicians who rail against the administration for going to war with Iraq and claim that "Bush lied". The problem is that these same politicians saw the same intelligence and also saw Hussein as a threat to us, not by direct missle contact but by creating the technologies that terrorists could use to harm us and other "evil" entities, such as Australia, Jordan... the Queen of England, for crying out loud...

You've probably heard this rant a thousand times and either shook your fist at it or vehemently agreed with it. So, I'll stop. But I would like you to view this video (unfortunately in Windows Media format), which documents all these anti-war, "Bush is a liar"-spewing politicians wallowing neck deep in their own bullshit.

All of you have seen the retouched photos of celebrities in magazines and in movies, right? Their skin is perfect - not too oily, not too pale (unless you're Nicole Kidman). Hair is spot on. Teeth are like ivory. Well, Worth1000.com has a collection of pictures of celebrities that have been retouched and then un-retouched and the results are startling... and hilarious!

Some of you are infected and don't even know it. I'm also thinking that you didn't assume that a Sony product would have infected you, did you?

Sony has taken it apon themselves to install a "rootkit" on their audio/hybrid cds, which basically act as spyware and malware on your computer. As if it wasn't bad enough that you bought a Celine Dion cd, now you're being spied on by Sony because of it. Essentially, this software can do everything from reporting your activities to recording keystrokes and stealing passwords.

Here is a timeline of recent discoveries about Sony and their newest attacks against the very people that financially support them. You might want to check your computer to see if it's been victimized.

For those of you who haven't seen this, you need to check out CryingWhileEating.com. Believe it or not, it has videos of people sobbing while eating different things. Below the videos, you can see what the motivation is for the tears.

Yeah... I know... it's odd. Check it out anyway.

...that will send you, Gentle Reader, into a frenzy.

Kevin Federline's attempt at music.

You're welcome.

MovieCliches.com has a great website which points out the rediculous commonplace plot devices and formulas in movies, such as:

• Bags of groceries in movies always have a baguette in them
• Dogs always sense evil and they bark accordingly
• If there is a car chase, expect to see a demolished fruit stand
