TiVo Viral Marketing Scheme
If you'll notice, I added a new feature when I want to show you the original spot I found this. The title of the post is now clickable and below it'll say 'Link' just above the dates, comments, etc.

Things to do while you're deployed
- Squadron BBQ. Get the food from the dining hall. Someone's probably welded a few BBQ pits by now. You can make ice cream with salt, ice, and some Ziploc bags.
- Brought your laptop? Setup a network for games. Someone pack a switch and some network cables.
- Cappucino Bar. Yeah, we really did this. Milk from dining facility, flavors, coffee, and a cappucino maker from home. We even procured an automatic machine from a contractor.
- Contests: best lawn, decorated tent, best TDY mustache (some women even entered this contest. Not all the mustaches were fake. Really.) etc.
- Movies: hook an LCD projector up to a DVD player or laptop; AAFEs has cheap stereos/speakers for sound, and a sheet or tent wall to project it on. You should have seen the movie theatre someone built in Thumrait.
- Concerts. Someone's brought musical instruments. Someone had a violin at Thumrait.
- Call home. If the Army (!) relaxes the cell phone rules. Was easy in Oman. You could get prepaid phones shipped in.
- Nap. The more you're asleep, the faster it'll go.
Posting from the ole Email
This is something I have to start doing more often, that is, posting on my blog via email. Testing 123....Testes, 1...2...testes...
I missed 'Arrested Development' when it was on TV. Shoot me. I was in on 'Firefly', 'Battlestar Galactica', 'Scrubs', 'Monk', and now 'Psych' from the start so I like to think I'm a little hep to Hollywood's jive, but I gotta get caught up on that. And I hear 'Weeds' is good. Favorite character bit from 'Arrested Development':
Who Is Tobias Fünke?: Formerly an "analrapist," the world's first combination analyst and therapist, Tobias has more recently embarked on an acting career -- or at least, he is attempting one.
(Psst, look closely at what the combination of analyst and therapist is. How did they get away with that on TV?) I think they pronounced it 'uh-nal-ruh-pist'. Clueless character gold.

Doin' it for the Farkies

It's for a Photoshop contest on Fark. Nothing to see here if/until they work their strange and compelling magic.
Eduardo

Now here's a great tattoo. Stolen from some sorority chick. There's no new material here in the blogosphere, just stuff passing around and around, like karma.

We're closed today, you go home now!
Oh, uh, fun stuff tomorrow. Venting over now. Had to end on a positive note and all.

Smoky Jungle Frog

This was the sign at the zoo. I did not see the frog, but I imagine it looked something like this.
See how educational the internet can be?

What the Hezmana?!?


See what they've done! My rage burns with the white-hot heat of a thousand suns! That sounds like Star Wars material, but it's more like Robert Jungk. Heh. Robert. 'Junk'. I got yer...anyway, speaking of junk, this is the unholy union apparently of the Star Wars verse with the Transformers. What's next, Power Elven Rangers from the 'Lord of the Rings'? (Fark, this Photoshop's for you!) Is nothing sacred?
