And the winner is….
Thanks to everyone who played in the Caption Contest! All were good, some great, but one reached the pinnacle. The winner for the “Obama Bows to Mayor of Tampa” pic is Guy S., with the following entry:
*Whispering to Mayor Iorio* “I am not bowing! It’s just I have trouble standing up without a backbone.”
Also, honorable mention goes to Nicole:
You’re foreign right? You look kinda foreign. Even though I’m in one of the 57 states, I’ll just keep it on the safe side and bow.
Thanks for playing
Flashback!

I managed to find almost the whole album … enjoy (after the jump)

Where I’ve Been…
I’m sure there’s at least one or two of you that’s noticed my absence. I’m sure LC Aggie Sith is one of them. Well, a long long time ago I started a project. I decided to write a video game all by my lonesome. This proved to be quite the task but I felt my programming skills were up to the challenge. Which, for the most part, they are. Unfortunately, I suck at making art for a game (or art in general). And artists would rather starve than work cheap. So I eventually shelved the idea.
I started back up again.
I decided that I’d use whatever art I could scrounge from the internet in an effort to get the game completed. I hope that once the game is done that I may be in a better position to lure artists into cutting me a deal. The downside of such a tactic is that I cannot release the game even after it is finished until I replace all of the art.
So, explanation done …. screenshots after the jump …

Blood, Sweat, and Tears….
….or as it is more commonly known: Valentine’s Day.
Every year men everywhere despair of the coming day. They rack their brains trying to figure out the perfect gift, whether it’s flowers, candy, jewelry, etc. In the spirit of camaderie, here are a few suggestions to help y’all.
Women are like magpies. We all like bright, shiny things. Hence the DeBeers monopoly. However, there is no need to break the bank to get something pretty and meaningful, like this, The Hypnotic Pendant:
Two universal symbols, the heart and the snake, blend together to create a sensual pendant.
Nothing says “I love you” quite like a reptile. Yes, it’s on my list.
Another thing women like is comfort. Sure, corsets are nice and so are garter belts, but not very practical for lounging about while watching Zombieland. Pajamagram can help. From warm to fuzzy, sweet to sexy they have it all. The Ruby Velour Lounge Set is perfect for any woman. Stretchy, soft, and red. Comfy and sexy. I *heart* mine!
Then, there are the sweet things of life: CANDY. For the extravagant, there is Godiva’s Romantic Heart. Beautifully presented in a satin giftbox, it features three new flavors for Valentine’s Day, including passion fruit in white chocolate. For the thrifty, M&M’s has a fun option of personalized candies. You can add a sweet sentiment, or even add a pic of your sweetheart.
For the geek hiding inside every woman, I suggest the Literal Sweetheart T-shirt, from ThinkGeek. Really, how can you go wrong: (more…)
Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
Hot on the heels on the possible identification of the Climategate leak, comes this delightful smackdown of heretical proportions:
India Forms New Climate Change Body
Yes, I know…still towing the AGW line. But wait for it….
India has established its own body to monitor the effects of global warming because it “cannot rely” on the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the group headed by its own Nobel Prize-winning scientist Dr R K Pachauri.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
Around the World Wide Web
Well, feeling a bit on the rundown side, but thought I would share some of the more interesting bits of news going around the interwebtubenets. Some funny, some stupid, some downright WTF invoking.
We start off in Canada, where we find Newfoundland’s Premier Danny Williams will be having heart surgery here in the United States later this week. Exact location, type of surgery, or method of payment is not known at this time. You can detect the floating question marks coming from Newfoundland all the way over in Texas.
We now go over to China. Deputy Ambassador to Israel Zhang Xiao’an claims that ties with China are deteriorating since Obama became president. The ambassador noted that usually relations between the Chinese gov’t and the new US president start off frosty, but gradually warm up. She claims in this case, it has worked backwards. The Great Uniter strikes again.
Over in Iran, Aquavelvajad (thanks, TheDudeAbides!), is claiming that Iran will will deliver a harsh blow to “global arrogance” (I don’t think he means the French), on February 11th, the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. I can only assume he will have his jacket pressed for the occassion.
Meanwhile in Haiti, the voodoo high priest is raising a stink over being discriminated against, saying evangelical Christians are monopolizing aid coming into the country. Keep in mind this guy holds a degree in Biochemistry from the Universite de Paris, La Sorbonne. Yes, this is a WTF as far as I’m concerned.
In England, Climategate is opening a few eyes, and pouring salt in the open wounds of careers. Now the beleaguered Phil Jones is facing new claims that he sought to hide problems in key temperature data on which some of his work was based. This is not only an OMG, but also a WTF, not because of the claims (we all know about that). No…because this is a feature story on UK’s The Guardian. The freakin’ GUARDIAN, people!!! In the same section they have this: “How the ‘climategate’ scandal is bogus and based on climate sceptics’ lies”. This is the most blatant example of Cover-Your-Ass I have seen in a while.
Hope y’all are adjusting to having six more weeks of winter. I don’t think Punxsutawney Phil got the AGW memo.
What the Hell…??
Prez Obama can’t seem to help it…. Here he is bowing to Mayor Pam Iorio of Tampa. Is it just me, or is this pic just screaming for a caption contest????
Let the games begin!!!
I Want This Poster….
This pretty much sums it up for me
