“When we went in to this, we did it with the best of intentions-”
*BLAM*
“I’m sorry, did I break your concentration? You were saying something about best intentions… Oh, you were finished? Well, allow me to retort.”
This is how our explanation of what happened to this week’s podcast would go if we lived ultra-cool gangster lives like Vincent and Julius in Pulp Fiction. Alas, we don’t. No black suits, no chrome .45, no discussion on giving a woman a foot massage.
There isn’t a podcast this week. We know. It was a tough decision. But, see, it’s like this…
On Thursday, Colin gave himself a dire case of food poisoning. Fortunately for me, I was able to balance my concern for my friend against the overwhelmingly funny mental image of him actually pulling over to the side of the road and vomiting on someone’s sidewalk. He didn’t really recover until yesterday.
Karl went to the hospital with what he thought was the flu, or an abdominal… thing… I don’t know. Instead, he found out he had appendicitis. I told him not to spend that night with the two Thai midget hookers. But did he listen? No. And now we got filipino pirates chasing us.
I slipped and fell on some ice on Sunday. My hand stung. And my neck was a little sore.
Be that as it may, there were a few stories this week we wished we could talk about. Here are some links and a couple of brief comments for you to enjoy. Normal recording returns this weekend.
Apparently, this problem is common. There is actually an acceptable level of inaccuracy in odometers. Unfortunately for Honda, 7% is far beyond that level. And they’re paying $6 million to customers who own cars that seem to be packing on the miles faster than expected.
Honestly… I can sort of understand an inherent level of inaccuracy. But seven percent? That’s more than a glitch. It’s incompentence.
Cisco Settles With Apple Over iPhone Name
Cisco is like the wheedling child that threatens to tell his mom about his babysitter’s boyfriend visiting. The babysitter just wants him to shut the f**k up so she can continue to use the couch for her dirty deeds. Hence, Apple and Cisco reached a deal. Apple gets to use the word iPhone, and they have to “explore a potential joint endeavor with Cisco.”
I hate patent trolls. I hate trademark trolls. Wankers.
HAHAHAHAHA. Not in this lifetime. As my friend Jason points out, when two companies control 99% of the satellite radio market, the odds that the FCC and SEC are going to approve a merger are slim to none, and slim just left town. Unless those agencies are sleeping at the wheel. And we all know government agencies would never sleep at the wheel and let stupid s**t happen, right?
Oh… dammit. We’re f**ked.
TJ Maxx Breach Occurred A Year Earlier Than Previously Thought
Seriously? F**k TJ Maxx. Right in the ear. From now on, if I want to buy something there, I’m paying cash. I suggest you all do as well.
It’s interesting that the digital age has made me so paranoid with some places that I am willing to take a step back in economic evolution and start paying cash for things again.
Well, there it is. Again, we’re sorry we didn’t record. But with one case of food poisoning, one appendix, and a slight bruise… well… we’re sorry.
Till the next episode, stay tuned, kiddies.
I would like to note that I got the game geek challenge right.
Oh and… I hope you guys all feel better. Especially the ones who were actually sick.
Hey, my hand was injured. Do you realize how important hands are?
Without both hands… how do I consume both pizza AND beer simultaneously?
He’s lucky he’s married now, or his social life would have been ruined as well
Hey, if you can type with one hand… *shrug*
