On my way to work today I counted three drivers who decided to merge into the other lane, and chose not to use their turn signal until they were already halfway through the process.
I think the fact that you are straddling the lanes was enough to clue me in to your intentions.
Next time you may want to try and signal before you start to merge. That way, we both don't die in a fiery wreck of glass and steel.
Just a suggestion.

CNN Media Player
I enjoy looking down the list of headlines in CNN and finding an article that I am interested in reading. I think that it would be simple to just click that link and read the article, but not so much.
For some odd reason, CNN has made the choice to make this article (as well as many other possibly interresting articles) video only. Meaning no words. On top of that, I think their use of the video article is just horrible. It's always telling me that I do not have the proper plug-in (when I know I do) and then my player has to fight through pointless commercials for a fourty five second piece of crap that tells me absolutely nothing.
Curses to our generations need for constant media stimulation....

Worst Maketing Campaign Ever
So Verizon Wireless has released this little Monstrosity, along with other various flavors.
What the hell? Who had the bright idea to name a cell phone after a candy?
I've got 10 that says some moron is going to end up trying to eat the damn thing.

Beware of Child
My Wife and I were out at the mall this past Saturday in an attempt to wrap up our Christmas shopping a little early. While we were in one of the stores I noticed this little kid walk past, and I thought the child had a stuffed teddy bear slung over their back.
No big deal. However, because I was bored out of my mind I decided to do a double take, and low and behold, I quickly learned that the stuffed teddy bear was actually a clever disguise for a harness. Thats right, a Harness. And attached to the harness was a leash roughly five feet long. Of couse no surprise here, but holding the leash was a parent who was intently focused on figuring out which body scent she liked rather than keeping her child from toppling the tower of shampoo half way across the store.
Since when did a child equate to a K-9? And if this is the new norm then I think we need to continue it to it's logical conclusion. I mean we have rules that say that you can't bring a dog into a business establishment, and I think that if your child is so unrulely that you nead a leash to control them, then they should be banned as well. Unless of course they happen to be helping a blind or otherwise dissabled person. There can be exceptions.

There is a guilty party somewhere.....
Strangely enough, Chocolate Covered Potato Chips actually do exist, and as if that's not enough they are just like crack.
You can't stop putting these horrible things in your mouth and chewing, all the while your body screams at you and calls you all sorts of nasty names.
But your brain tells it to shut up, that you like chocolate and potato chips, and this is actually a smart way to eat the two. A freakish way of streamlining the snack process as it were.
And what is even more shocking is if you can remain chocolate-salty sober for more than a few minuets you should then realise that not only did someone decide that this was a tasty idea, but that there were at least a large enough number of people who agreed with them to make this crap commercially viable.
I'm fairly certain that this is in violation of some natural law somewhere, but I'm just too busy poisoning my body with the salted chocolate potato chip to go and look into it.
Please. Help.
