These guys are pretty hilarious. And what is that kid in the back doing? Studying or something?

Any O’Connell people remember some good lip syncs we did back in the day?

I think Jack and I should make a video like this. I think we’d be pretty money. I’m taking song recommendations… ideas anyone?

I got a view

I’m in Corpus Christi, TX for Vid’s wedding. The view from my hotel room is sweet. I’ve slept with the sliding door open since I got here and there’s nothing like sleeping with ocean waves in the background.

I need to move to the beach.

Invading Countries

October 26th, 2005

Damn. I guess I really am surrounded by idiots. Notice that not a single person was able to pin the flag on the actual location of any country they talked about. That’s pretty sad.

Those are some hard asses!

Is “asses” a word? :)

They have their own parades, rigorous training and dedicated doctors. They are treated as fully fledged soldiers. Some villagers used to laugh at how much time the army spent on them. But now the mules of the Pakistani army are proving saviours for some of the tens of thousands of quake survivors still stuck atop inaccessible mountains.

Saddam’s legal defense

October 21st, 2005

This is probably one of the funnier things I’ve read in a long time. The pictures tell it all so well. Heh.

But ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider: Ladies and gentlemen this [pointing to a picture of Chewbacca] is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk, but Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now, think about that. THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE! (Background: Damnit! What? He’s using the Chewbacca defense!) Why would a Wookiee—an eight foot tall Wookiee—want to live on Endor with a bunch of two foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense!

A new trend?

Is this the future of legal defense? I know that if I get pulled over anytime in the near future, I might just have to ask to see the source code of the laser/radar gun. Who knows, it might just save me a few bucks on my car insurance anyways.

Lawyers for 150 Floridians accused of drunk driving have asked a court to order the disclosure of the source code for software running in the breathalyzer machines used by police to analyze their blood alcohol level.

Middle Class Sticker Shock

October 19th, 2005

I suppose it was really only a matter of time. Although I’m not sure I agree that India has a higher cost of living than the U.S., I will admit that prices have definitely risen.

“It’s more expensive to live in India than the U.S., by the way,” economist Atanu Dey said to me over dinner in Pune tonight.
