Frickin' Awesome!

Lockheed Martin has conceived a new class of high-speed amphibious combat craft with a top speed of up to 50 knots on water and up to 80 miles per hour on land. Significantly, the vehicles can make the transition from land to water and vice versa in five seconds and will be capable of traveling 50 miles on sea and then 100 more on land without having to refuel.

I totally want one.

Condo for Sale

Tony Alleyne decided to embark on the project after he separated from his wife in 1995 and managed to turn his flat into a bachelor pad with a difference.

Gosh, I wonder why she divorced him.....

Though he was slain by a sniper's bullet, his legacy of fighting Nazis and Communists will live on.

Still Living On A Prayer

Despite a sixth place regular season finish and a 1-7 record against the league's top 5 finishers, the George Mason Patriots are only one game away from going back to the big dance.

America's Sweetheart Cinderella, as CNNSI call them, isn't ready to hang up the dancing shoes yet.

Fourth game in four days is going to be tough, especially against a VCU squad that's had one less game and loves to press and trap from tip-off to final buzzer. Still, I like our chances tonight better than I did three days ago.


LET'S GO PATRIOTS!

Why I don't Blog More

I think it's a generational thing. Growing up, diaries were always something you hid and lived in mortal fear that someone would discover, read, steal, and share exposing you to a living-hell of taunting and teen-angst; best demonstrated in this classic back-and-forth between Marcia Brady and her brothers (technically half-brothers) Peter, Greg, and Bobby:

Marcia Brady: [Marcia lost her Diary and is accusing one of the boys of taking it] Okay, if you hand it right over, I won't press charges
Greg Brady: What are you talking about?
Marcia Brady: As if you didn't know.
Peter Brady: Bobby, do you know what she's talking about?
Bobby Brady: No. Greg, do you know what she's talking about?
Greg Brady: No. Marcia, do you know what you're talking about?
Marcia Brady: I certainly do, someone in this room took my diary.
Greg Brady: Your diary, you mean you actually keep one of those stupid things?
Bobby Brady: What's a diary?
Peter Brady: It's a book, that you write things, that you don't want anyone else to know.
Bobby Brady: Why?
Greg Brady: So, you could write stuff like [Greg then sits at his desk imitating Marcia writing in her diary]
Greg Brady: "Dear diary, at last I met him, my dream man, it was at the delicatessen and our fingers tingled as we reached over for the same potato salad." [the boys laugh]
Marcia Brady: [shouts] I have never written any ridiculous thing like that in my diary!
Peter Brady: You didn't?
Marcia Brady: [shouts] I should say not!
Greg Brady: Then, why are you afraid that somebody might read it?
Marcia Brady: None of your business.

The current generation of "the kids" as I like to call them doesn't seem to have this problem though. I'll touch on that a little later.

Vanilla Frosty

Finally tried it the other night.

Meh.

Tastes like a McDonalds vanilla shake, but more frozen.

Not impressed.

Not always, but sometimes, on occasion....
