Sad or Funny?

And then the fight started....

My wife and I are watching "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" while we were in
bed. I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have sex?"
"No," she answered.
I then said, "Is that your final answer?"
She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, "Yes."
So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."
And then the fight started...

A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She is not happy
with what she sees and says to her husband, "I feel horrible; I look old,
fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment."
The husband replies, "Your eyesight's darn near perfect."
And then the fight started.....
****


Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, grabbed
the dog, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to
the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind
was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio,
and discovered that the weather would be bad all day.
I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed..
I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and
whispered, "The weather out there is terrible."
My loving wife of 10 years replied, "Can you believe my stupid husband is
out fishing in that?"
And that's how the fight started ...

I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order
first. "I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please."
He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?"
"Nah, she can order for herself."
And then the fight started.....

Time Warp 360

Since around mid to late 2008, Wednesday nights have become Discovery Channel nights.  It means we get to watch three amazing Discovery Channel shows: Mythbusters, Time Warp, and Prototype This.  Mythbusters is about Adam and Jaime trying to confirm or bust myths and urban legends.  Time Warp is about slowing things down to about 1,000 frames per second.  Prototype This is probably what DIYers want to do when they grow up....  or if they're given 2 weeks and a huge budget.

Discovery seems to be preparing for the next season because lately they've been playing reruns.  One of them is Time Warp's skateboard episode.

Watch and enjoy! (especially the 360)

Save it for a rainy day...

I hope you did.

From NYTimes.com: Government Seizes WaMu and Sells Some Assets

That was last Thursday. Earlier today, Dow Jones fell almost 778 points - the worst single-day drop in two decades

And Citigroup bought Wachovia


Well, goodbye iphone, hello ipon.

Russell Peters in Manila!

I received an email saying that Russell Peters will have a show in Manila on Oct 31 at the NBC Tent!

Nice!

For those who don't know him, visit http://www.russellpeters.com . Also, search "Russell Peters Outsourced" in youtube.

For those who do, and if you're in Manila, you better make sure you get tickets to this show! :D. I've seen "Red, White and Brown" in New York earlier this year and although I can't say that it's better than Outsourced, there's a lot of new materials in there that will keep you laughing from start 'til the end of the show.

And yes, I think he's way better than Rex Navarette.

We made it!

Team #82 with our car, Bebop - The little cow that could.


That Renault Clio survived the (almost) 2000 km drive from Boulogne to Besancon to Turin (thru the French Alps!!!) to Nice to Marseilles to Arles to Avignon to Beaune (Burgundy region) to Paris!

Will post more stories and pics soon!

Euro Trip 2008

Three more days and we are off to Spain and (again) France to explore and, of course, participate in the Crumball Rally - The Italian Job 2008!!!

Here's the rally description from the website:

The Crumball Rally Co once again presents “The Italian Job”. A budget
car rally taking place over a long weekend in September 2008, and very
loosely based on the classic 1969 crime caper. Taking in France,
Switzerland and Italy in 3 days and visiting several of the key film
settings including the incredible St. Bernard pass, the city of Turin, and
then onto Monte Carlo and Nice for the Finish.

But it’s not just about driving…….you will also need a sense of humour
to take part in the tasks en route, and be a bit of risk taker since you and
your team have to do all this in a car ideally costing no more than £200.

Are you up for it of course you are. If so then “get your skates on mate”
and come and join us for a trip you just might remember.

Of course, as I have said in my previous post, I may not join the Switzerland part of the rally. Either that or I'll just take my chances at the border since they're not really manned all the time :D. But that's okay. I need to find a new way to Turin from Besançon. Via Lyon is the best way, I think.

This time, I hope to blog the trip either during or immediately after the trip :D. I know I haven't blogged or posted pics and videos of our previous adventures, but I'm currently working on that :D. I hope to upload them within the year.

Anyway, this upcoming trip will take us to Barcelona and Madrid for 5 days. Then we'll meet and stay with Nanette in Paris for a night (thanks Nanette for letting us stay in your flat!) before heading to Boulogne to meet the rest of the team, N and J with N's Renault Clio. The rally will take 3 days, from Boulogne to Nice. After that, I think we have no plans yet but It's probably going to be a drive back to Paris via Bordeaux. Then we fly back home :).

See you in two weeks! =D

Go Team #82!!!

Check out team #82!! Hehehe.

R, N, J and I joined the Crumball Rally 'The Italian Job' 2008. In about 2 weeks from now, we will be driving N's 206 from Boulogne to Nice. Sounds exciting? It should be, especially when one of the rules states that the car should only be worth 200GBP! That's about $400 USD. So, yeah...

This is going to be like a Top Gear challenge! Actually, I wish they are in the rally!

I'm still not sure if I can drive. Hopefully, they would allow it (or if I do drive, hopefully we won't be stopped by the police hehe). If not, I'm armed with 2 cameras and a video cam. That should keep me busy for the whole 3 days.

The last snag is that R and I will not join the Switzerland leg because I need a visa and I'm not paying $100 for a visa that I will only use for 1 day. So we will probably go to Lyon from Besancon and then head to Turin. Or, if it is ok with the team, we will all not go through the alps and drive to Turin via Lyon!

This is going to be seriously fun.
