“Jay Leno’s” Jerry McGuire-esque Memo
Posted by The Gimcracker in Television on 28. Jun, 2007 | Comments
I just received a mass email containing a message that reminded me of the way Jerry McGuire wrote that memo, or mission statement, that totally went against the grain and was a huge risk on his part… and got him fired. The email is apparently a message written by Jay Leno himself, although I highly [...]
I Shouldn’t Have Posted The Last Top Fiver
Posted by The Gimcracker in Reference Burst Theory, Top Fivers on 27. Jun, 2007 | Comments
Not five minutes after I published this post in which I go into some detail about amusement park accidents, a girl’s feet were both severed above the ankle by the Superman Tower of Power (formerly known as The Hellivator) at Kentucky Kingdom. These kinds of things do not happen very often. To have something like [...]
Cruise vs. Germany
Posted by The Gimcracker in Movies, News on 26. Jun, 2007 | Comments
Tom Cruise is making a new movie, and as much as I hate to admit, it sounds awesome. It’s about Col. Claus von Stauffenberg who was involved with a World War II era plot to kill Adolf Hitler and overthrow the Nazi regime. It’s called Valkyrie, it’s directed by Bryan Singer (The Usual Suspects and [...]
Top Fiver #3: Things You Didn’t Know About Paramount’s King’s Island
Posted by The Gimcracker in Top Fivers on 21. Jun, 2007 | Comments
I started seeing commercials for King’s Island about a month ago, just like every May, and I noticed that it is no longer called “Paramount’s King’s Island”. The “Paramount’s” has been removed, which prompted me to check out the website and see what happened. A couple hours of wikipedia research, a sandwich, four Beer 30s, [...]
Orthodox Paradox III: Conclusion? (Our Meeting Was Sabotaged)
Posted by The Gimcracker in Reference Burst Theory on 19. Jun, 2007 | Comments
I had to title this ‘conclusion’ because I previously stated that the ‘conclusion was to follow’, but I tacked on the question mark to confuse you so you don’t know if this is really the last post about the orthodox paradox. See, that’s what you have to do – you have to use your mind.
Since [...]
U Can Has Lookz At Mai LOLCatz?
Posted by The Gimcracker in I Can Has Cheezburger on 18. Jun, 2007 | Comments
I took some pictures of our cat, mainly to test out my camera, but I couldn’t resist turning them into LOLCatz pictures. They may not be as funny as some of the ones on I Can Has Cheezburger but I think they’re amusing.
A New Blogroll Link

Check out my coworker Brad’s blog. I’m hoping that somehow my wife will somehow accidentally stumble upon my blog, somehow come across this blog post somehow, somehow happen to click the link to Brad’s blog somehow, and somehow accidentally coincidentally scroll down and see the pictures of his beagle “Bella”, and then somehow want to [...]
My Brother Turned Into One of the Great Writers of Our Time
Posted by The Gimcracker in Blogging on 12. Jun, 2007 | Comments
I have to admit, I was surprised by how well my bro logged his adventures with a window salesman. I know he speaks for all people, anywhere, ever, in the history of the world, who have ever dealt with any kind of salesman, ever created, when he describes the utter agony of dealing with this [...]
2007 Movie Picks (Thus Far)
Posted by The Gimcracker in Movies on 12. Jun, 2007 | Comments
You shouldn’t write posts like this because they become completely dated in like a month. You’ve seen these brand new movies, heard these brand new songs, or found this awesome brand new technology, but you forget about when you discovered LaserDiscs and you wrote a post about it as if you had discovered gold (of [...]
My Blog Exploded Into A Billion Pieces
Posted by The Gimcracker in Blogging on 05. Jun, 2007 | Comments
But don’t worry, it’s back up now – minus a few of my most recent posts (namely the one about the seatbelt checkpoints).
What happened?
I host my own blog, which means my database is separate from the Wordpress blog sea. So, if I lose my database I’m SOL. Guess what – I lost my database. [...]
