  • Not so proud to be an American…

    Apparently, the presidential candidates will be appearing on WWE tonight. The 3 of them will be paraphrasing popular catch phrases from past wrestlers in recorded speeches, or smackdowns, if you will. The only one of them that got me to smile was this little diddy:

    “To the special interests who’ve been setting the agenda in Washington for too long and to all the forces of division and distraction that has stopped us from making progress, for the American people, I’ve got one question: Do you smell what Barack is cooking?”

    Yeah… how proud does that make YOU do be an American, eh?

  • $230

    That’s the total value of the 11 games I put up on eBay this morning. I had an epiphany last night when I was staring at my shelf full of games. I was thinking, “Boy, it’d sure be nice to turn all that into cash.” It was about 2 AM at the time, which is as everyone knows the perfect time to post mass auctions on eBay (ok, maybe not).

    I listed all but one of my games at or above the price I paid for it, so assuming they sell I’ll be making a healthy profit off letting them sit on my shelf for a few weeks. The first game sold 8 minutes after I listed it, and I had another one sell about an hour ago.

    I guess this means I ending up agreeing with you Aaron, I need to start selling stuff on eBay instead of just buying. 😉

  • Top Five Things To Do When You Have A Fever

    This past Friday I came down with some weird bug that gave me a bad sore throat and a fever around 100-101. As a consequence, I’ve had absolutely nothing to do but lay around for the past three days. As a consequence of that, I came up with the top 5 things to do when you’re laying around with a fever. Are you excited? I know I am.

    5. Listen to Podcasts. Listening to a podcast is an easy way to keep yourself from complete boredom. I recommend 1up Radio.

    4. Demand more cowbell.

    3. Play Noiz2sa and rRootage on the iPhone or iPod Touch. These games can’t hold up very well under normal circumstancs, but they take on a whole new aspect when your body is doing its best to cook your brain in your skull.

    2. Pop some pills. Need I say more?

    1. Post on Hijinks. Lucid brain activity is overrated when it comes to posting on this site. Heck, the most entertaining stuff we say is born out of sleep deprivation and high amounts of caffiene. Posting with a fever is the next logical step. Granted, judging from the quality if this post one might have reason to disagree with me.

  • Deep Thoughts about Pac-Man.

    I don’t condone the language, but this IM conversation is hi-LAIR-ious. Owen Good is a weekend editor on Kotaku, and as it turns out, he and his brother have some interesting views on the subject of the bowel movements of Pac-Man. No, I’m not kidding.

    That picture is a small representation of the profound thoughts contained in this article. If you can stomach some detailed bathroom humor and a little profanity, click the link.

  • Quick Hits

    Quick, what does Bo Pelini, Kevin Garnett, Matt Serra, the NFL draft, and the NHL playoffs all have in common? They are all topics in my latest Quick Hits! (OK, so it’s my first Quick Hits, not latest… p’sh!) See what I have to say about all of them after the jump.
