A Damn Fine Cup of Coffee

[Twin Peaks Freshly Squeezed]


Well if you say so Agent Cooper.

But was it this kind of coffee?



Haven't tried it, but am tempted to load the machine.

Vroom, Vroom, Type, Type...

I've written a few times (here and here), about what kind of desk I would really like.

But I think I've finally found one for the Hubster.

Howzabout this baby?


It's the Mini Morris Office Table. I think you'd need a really big office to hold this baby.

Have Any Overdue Books?

You better hope not as it might just land you in the clinker.

Ask Heidi Dalibor of Grafton Wisconsin. She had two overdue books from the U.S.S Liberty Memorial Public Library and owed a grand total of $37.94. But that was enough to the have her arrested.

Pretty sweet RFID table application.

Part of me thinks this would be a blast, and part of me wants to reach for the Dramamine.

I Get By With A Little Help From My Fred?

I love much of the music of the 1960's, and I think I may have enjoyed Woodstock. Not sure though as I lean a bit more towards psychedelic or pop music from that time, and less towards what I call stoner rock.

Moot point in any case as my Mom wouldn't let me go. Something about only being 4.

One singer I've never been a huge fan of is Joe Cocker. I don't hate him, just not my cup 'o tea.

However I've always hated his version of With a Little Help From My Friends. He trashed a perfectly good Beatles song.

I did, however, presume that he knew the words. Turns out he was singing (literally) his own song.

For your 1969 enjoyment:



Here are the actual lyrics:

What would think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me.
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
And I'll try not to sing out of key.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
He gets high with a little help from his friends,
Oh I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.

What do I do when my love is away.
(Does it worry you to be alone)
How do I feel by the end of the day
(Are you sad because you're on your own)
No, I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mmm I get high with a little help from my friends,
Mmm I'm gonna to try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love.
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love.

Would you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mmm I get high with a little help from my friends,
Oh I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody?
I need someone to love.
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love
Oh...
I get by with a little help from my friends,
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends,
with a little help from my friends

I See Dead People, And They Glitter

We all gotta go sometime, and when I do I figured I would either be cremated or I would donate my body to science.

But now it seems I have to rethink my options because I found something even better.

I Wanna be a ring, a beautiful, beautiful "diamond" ring.

Because what's the point of dying, if you can't gross out your loved ones forever.

Think I'm joking?

Emmmm. May I present:

LifeGem...

The LifeGem ® is a certified, high-quality diamond
created from the carbon of your loved one as a
memorial to their unique life.

Now what colour should I be?

Runnin' and Jumpin' and Swimmin' For Gold...

If you didn't catch the opening ceremonies, than you'll want to have a look at these incredible photos. Pure Olympic beauty.

Hey kids, remember Tron?

No? Why not, it's only been 26 years since it came out.



Well if you, like me, saw it when movies were still cranked by hand. And if you liked it. Then you have this to look forward to. The possibly a sequel, possibly a remake (depending on what you've read): Tr2n (Tron 2)



Here some info from firstshowing.net

And yes I know the trailer is pretty shitty (quality wise), but it's a Russian bootleg and the best I could find.

Also will probably disappear before too long. Disney already had the YouTube copies yanked.

I'z In The Internetz, Savin Yur Souls

You'll be glad to know that even if you spend huge (like moi) amounts of time surfin, you are still being watched over.

Yes the internet has it's own patron saint:
Saint Isidore of Seville.

Although I presume that when he was Archbishop of Seville c.601, he probably didn't have his own PC, never mind a high speed connection.
