Microsoft to Yahoo: "Up Your Nose with a Rubber Hose"

In the epic fight for the hostile takeover Microsoft Corporation has resorted to some pre-high school techniques to get at Yahoo!

Microsoft will effectively nominate its own people to Yahoo!'s board of directors in hopes that many of them will get elected and approve their takeover bid. Wait...this sounds familiar...I believe this is how Tommy Moorehouse got elected Student Council President of my 7th Grade Class.

I thought this type of behavior ended after High School?!?

Guess Not.

Yahoo will probably reject the idea of a takeover, mostly because Microsoft is "smelly" and has a "big butt". There is also an unsubstantiated rumor that Microsoft picks its nose and eats it. Although Microsoft has yet to confirm or deny this accusation.

Advertisements on Cell Phones


I use Google's Gmail...and I find it to be extremely creepy. There's always adds on the sidebar of the email tailored to whatever you are emailing to people. I casually said "oh, sorry" in one of my emails and advertisements for sympathy cards and "say your sorry through a floral gift" came up. It was almost as if the slightly disturbing employees at Google are sitting in their Mountain View, CA offices and having a ball reading everyone's email. I can just imagine them coming up with joke advertisements for all of the hilarious emails they read from the rest of us schmucks.

Email advertising is bad enough, but now the powers that be at Google, Apple, Nokia etc want to advertise on your cellphone. Thanks to GPS technology companies like Starbucks and Walgreens are going to send special offers to our cell phones when we walk within the proximity of one of their stores. Although, they are just testing this idea now...you know damn well they are actually going to do this soon.

I already get enough texts...now i have to get crap from Starbucks too? I don't even like coffee!

Is anybody else ready to throw their phones in the trash and move to a beach in Brazil? I am.

Starbucks is Taking Over the World


It has finally happened! Starbucks is starting to slump, and big competitors have decided to kick starbucks while its down and try to take away even more business. McDonalds just announced that it was going to start serving lattes in their restaurants, so that you can relax and enjoy a latte while listening to screaming kids drown in a pit of plastic balls. Nothing more relaxing than that.

Starbucks has grown so much that there is simply no place left to go. It's located literally across the street from itself. That, and the fact that Britney Spears is its unofficial spokeswoman probably led to its fall.

The evil corporate giant is even rumored to be in talks to start advertising on our cell phones. Yep, if you have a cell phone with GPS expect to start receiving advertisements soon every time you walk near a starbucks. Isn't technology wonderful. There are plenty of coffee shops everywhere, ones that are better than the ground cardboard taste of starbucks. Isn't it time we support local business instead of a corporate giant that wants to exploit us for game.

Just as i suspected!

According to THIS livescience.com article short people are evil. Pedophiles tend to be shorter than regular people, it states. It also explains how people who are shorter may have had an oxygen deficiency in the womb.

"We find pedophiles [like short people] are not quite up to biological snuff," said James M. Cantor, lead author of the study.

First Napoleon, now pedophiles...something needs to be done about the shortness problem in the world.

More Bad News

I just read THIS which means more bad news for us. Staph infections are showing up everywhere and the only way to protect yourself is to stop using those stupid antibacterial hand sanitizers and wipes and start washing your hands.

Using antibacterial wipes and sanitizers only kills the good bacteria that is killing the resistant stuff. So, use your head this winter and don't go overboardd.

Poor San Diego


Evacuated San Diegans watch as Mt. San Miguel is ablaze on the night of October 23.

Poor San Diego, one of my favorite cities is being destroyed. Last news is that the fires are slowing due to cool weather, though
