Corrections:
- John said the Lakers game was on at 5 pm est. It was actually 5 pm pst / 8 pm est. He got the time from the Lakers website (www.losangeleslakers.com), which puts the times in Pacific because of the obviously higher volume of west coast fans.

QOTW: What can you attach to a cat to make it awesome?

  1. Judges? Yeah, sorry dude. You didn't get it. You may try again. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!

    I will add that the question was poorly worded.

  3. I find it great that china will be the biggest English speaking country because soon we will be the largest Spanish speaking country.

  4. OK YOU GOT IT!!!

    According to Laser Cats lore, the cats got their powers because of the nuclear war, not because anything was "attached" to them.

    Also, we could not accept "laser eyes" as the lasers come out of the mouth of the laser cats.

  5. I still don't think he got it. The question was so easy, and the answer was one simple thing that makes anything awesome - Lasers!

    But since he's getting married this weekend, he deserves a break. You get it Nick.

    I like Spanish. Maybe we should have taken it instead of band in high school. I'll never need the saxophone.

  6. True but if it wasn't for the band bus we never would have had any luck with the ladies. Only chance we had was having them stuck with us on a bus for a long period of time with nothing better to do

  7. haha Speak for yourself! Some of us met ladies after 8th grade! (zing) Although, at the time, you are correct sir. I can think of 3 lucky ladies that were bored enough for some band bus charity thrown my way. Band = worthless. Foreign languages = money in the marketplace. Imagine how many Hispanics I can help get divorced if I understand their wives complaints! But it would be sweet to play 'Wipeout' sometime. Only if Howie directs it.

    Parker... band thoughts?

    Dave... you took espanol and band! You must be rich and get all the ladies!

  8. I only stayed in band because my Mom bought me a car. I sat with the cheerleaders because I thought most of them were hot, and they thought I was the safe, funny fat kid. My vagina intake went through the roof when I went to college. I was no longer in band at that point. Is that just a coincedence or is it because I no longer lived in a bedroom the size of a shoebox that my gross, half naked, fully cracked out brother had to walk through to get to his room? It was probably the band thing.

  9. random fact courtesy of sportscenter ... until the penguins win in detroit for the stanley cup, the last nba/nhl/mlb finals game 7 to be won on the road was the pittsburgh pirates in 1979.

    also, sotomayor's senate confirmation hearings are set to start july 13th. so maybe those hearings will be a simpler way for people to learn more about her.

  10. WORD!!!

    I used my little Spanish today to talk to the lady who cleans my building. I can basically talk to her, but I can't understand a word she says. I'll know just one way to say something, so if she doesn't know to say it the way that I know it, then it's a lost cause. She did manage a "have a nice vacation" in English, which I appreciated.

    So, yeah, Spanish helps me talk to the ladies. The elderly Spanish ladies.

    WORD!!!

  11. It is better to charge a lithium ion battery frequently than to let it discharge completely and recharge it completely. I think this is different than nickel-based batteries. Nickel batteries "remember" which parts of the battery have been used and charged, and if you aren't using part of the battery, it will become unresponsive. Lithium ion batteries don't work like that and discharging and recharging them completely will actually put more strain on them and they won't last as long. One of the worst things to do to either type of battery is to use whatever device the battery is in while charging it.
