Holy shit this old guy is my hero

Man, I can’t imagine what these two fucking loser petty crooks were thinking when they busted into an internet cafe, thinking it would be an easy smash and grab and robbery of a bunch of nerds, but little do they realize that the old guy in the khaki shorts with his lily-white shirt, lily-white hat and lily-white shoes is packing heat, and is not the least bit unafraid to uncork on some lowly jobber thugs.

I think my favorite part of the video is at 0:46, where he gets a close-range shot and doesn’t believe in the ‘ol paintball surrender rule, and still pulls the trigger.

I’m still in awe, and have watched this video like five times over now.

I don’t really wish ill will onto others that often

Contrary to popular belief, I know.  But really, when the days are over, I don’t really want to see anyone get severely hurt or anything.

I’m in a pretty upset mood tonight, and not because the Braves got owned like slavery were legal again, anything work-related, or something trite like that.  I’m upset because I saw a person on the road whom while in front of me, I witnessed as they applied their brakes, and took great care and effort into running over a dead animal on the road.

Honestly, if it were a squirrel or possum, or another common varmint-type of animal, I would have been disturbed by the careful effort in running it over, but the size and fur color of the already-dead roadkill was most definitely a dog.  And the fact that this piece of shit deliberately ran it over, bothered me immensely.  Even he had to know based on the size of the roadkill, that this was no common rodent.  But this waste of human space slowed down, leading me to believe that he was going to turn left or something coming up, but then I saw as he veered slightly, before seeing the carcass being flung upward a few inches after the impact.  I winced as I passed it between my tires, and watched as this asshole in the Yukon proceeded forward.

Monetary prizes on television have sure taken a hit these days

~ dannyhong ~ Leave a comment

Lately, I’ve caught a few episodes of various reality contest shows, such as Sweet Genius and Craft Wars. Yeah, I know how gay that sounds, but if they’re on television, often times I stay on the channels and watch.  Sweet Genius is interesting, because I do find amusement in cooking shows, and being a glutton there is appeal in it.

As for Craft Wars, I think the show is putrid, Tori Spelling is still a talentless slug, and I find it ironic that not only was she terrible at acting, she’s apparently found a way to be terrible at portraying reality, too.  And the show’s judges completely miss the point of the show entirely and judge based on the criteria polished, finalized projects for shit thrown together in 1-4 hours, when they’re not making catty gay remarks towards each other.  Needless to say, my relationship with Craft Wars is one of those “it’s such a shitty show and makes me irritated, that I tune in to grill it while acknowledging that I’m giving them the attention I shouldn’t be.”

If I ruled the world #5,233

Elevators would be prohibited to stop just one floor.

It agitates me greatly when I’m just trying to get to my floor, and the elevator abruptly stops on floor two, and then an asshole gets on and pushes the button to go to floor three.  Or vice-versa, while going down.  Actually slightly more, while going down.  More than agitation, it’s really sad.  The elevator for just one floor?  Yeah, that should be illegal.

I have to imagine many people are aware of this too.  Otherwise, you wouldn’t get those people who make sheepish remarks and the insincere “sorry” with a bashful smirk on their face.  Don’t apologize, stop being so lazy and go take the fucking stairs.  It’s just one floor.

Almost as bad as the DMV

~ dannyhong ~ Leave a comment

I guess it would be naive to believe that a Friday the 13th could go by without having to endure at least one little slice of hell, but this was the picture I saw when I walked into the Comcast Service Store in order to exchange my fried cable modem for a working one, instead of waiting an indeterminate time frame for a technician to come out to my home to do it.  For the 26 minutes that I was there, I was the the only customer in the entire building that was not black.

Georgia did away with DMVs and instead has two different divisions that deal with acquiring licenses and license plates.  I’ve dealt with the licenses online, and I’d been fortunate to have dealt with my plates at such odd hours when I was still a contractor, to where it wasn’t an inconvenience.  But the misery of something reminiscent of DMV lines clearly still exists, in this Comcast Service Store.

Mortal Kombat is kind of stupid

~ dannyhong ~ Leave a comment

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the Mortal Kombat games that I’ve played in my lifetime, but this is all really from a creative standpoint.  When it comes to character creation, stories and development, Mortal Kombat really is kind of silly, in a stupid kind of way.  That’s not necessarily a bad thing, because it shows that they acknowledge errors and roll with the punches in a fashion that so many companies wouldn’t be willing to do.  But throughout the years and lineage of the series, it’s gotten to a point where it’s all gone kind of far now.

All of this came upon because I happened to stumble upon the Mortal Kombat Wikia page, and I spent several hours of my day incapable of escaping the six degrees of Wikipedia whilst in this specialized Wiki.  What started out as a little bit of a nostalgia trip ended up turning into this head-tilting, mouth-contorting, WTF-fest at seeing how some of the characters developed, the introduction of newer characters, and how the “canon” story progressed.

PS

~ dannyhong ~ Leave a comment

This post, as well as the previous post happened only because I tethered my raptop to my cell phone.  While I was very grateful that the rain and thunderstorms held off long enough for me to have my company and parties over the prior two weekends, the long-waiting buildup has been massive.  The hellacious thunderstorms from the night prior apparently did a number on a lot of shit around the Metro Atlanta area, but more pertinent and important to me is the fact that it also apparently fried my cable modem in the process.

I was given the option of waiting an undisclosed amount of time for a technician to come out here, or I could go to my ISP’s customer service center, which is ironically in a ghetto area, propagating the stereotype that black people are irresponsible about paying their phone bills.  If it means that I can get a replacement modem as soon as tomorrow, then it’s off to the ghettos tomorrow, preferably while the sun is still up.

Unfortunately, that means there will no LoLing, no zbs, and frankly, no internet-ing while I have no high-speed internet at my disposal.  Sad face.  🙁
