Harry Potter

Who's going to the midnight showing (or earliest showing possible) of the new Harry Potter film?

So yeah

So I was away for a bit, due to Hal-Con. Shit was cash. Seriously, actual cash. They made the whole convention, the venue, all the costumes, out of actual money.
Prove me wrong.

Mornings

Bleh. Still pitch black out. This kind of darkness should only mean either sleep or gaming, not getting ready for work. My body is rejecting this like a wooden liver.

The Bible

My favorite part of the bible was when Jesus, with his magic staff and flying cloud, traveled across the world gathering the magic balls to wish his friend John the Baptist back to life. It got kind of boring though when he spent MONTHS on Namek fighting the romans.

What thyme is it?

A peanut butter jelly thyme sandwich is not as delicious as one might think.

No more ads!

So hey. Google adsense has shut down my account because it "poses a risk of generating potentially false clicks" so therefore, no more ads. Not on my choice, but whatever. From now on you guys don't need to see ads, just my regular blogging.

Halloween Edition GvN

Just in time for Halloween, it's Pennywise versus Chucky!
Who is the most terrifying childhood trauma?
Geeks versus Nerds is a debate-style comedy show recorded live at Joker's Comedy Club in downtown Halifax. We debate the things nobody else has the guts or tenacity to debate. Obscure facts, trash talk, and personal attacks are all welcome and encouraged. Well-known local comedians (such as Brian from the comedy group Picnicface) also frequently participate.

Just in time for Halloween, it's Pennywise versus Chucky! Recorded live on Monday, October 11th, 2010, it is now available for your listening pleasure!

http://www.geeksversusnerds.com/podcasts/269-chucky-versus-pennywize

Content warning: This podcast contains trash talk, foul language, and general silliness. Pay attention to the content warning song. Which also contains foul language and general silliness.

You folks might wonder why I'm posting things like this. Well, to be truthful, I am one of the performers in this show, and in the previous one I linked.

I think you'll enjoy it, this was a solidly good show from both teams. Lots of jokes, and an "old guard" (not me) goes into a rant about myspace and cancer at one point. I almost turned in the rebuttal token on my own teammate to say "Rules 1 and 2 bitch!"

Yet another installment of Geeks Versus Nerds

http://geeksversusnerds.com/podcasts/214-smurfs-versus-fraggles

Smurfs Versus Fraggles: Which is the mini master race?

Geeks Versus Nerds is a debate style comedy show recorded live at Joker's Comedy Club.

If you want to hear the portion that is recorded live in front of an audience, you can skip the introduction bit which is pre-recorded. However the intro is pretty good. Skip to 3 minutes in if you'd like to skip it.

Thanksgiving (Canadian)

Thanksgiving: The holiday where the great pumpkin rises from the pumpkin patch to give gifts to all the good kids and hide painted eggs, and then the pilgrims eat monster mashed potatoes while inserting something about kwanzaa here.

Go for the gusto

Today is one of those days where a person should really just wear a space helmet and a cape, because hey, why not?

Double decker all the way

Alright, so as we know, an "upper decker" is when you take a shit in the toilet tank instead of the bowl.

A "Stalled double decker" is when you take a shit in the tank AND in the bowl, and don't flush. I just came up with that. And created the first one.

Cut off my left thumb?

I kind of want to get my left thumb cut off, so I can go "Hey, who has two thumbs and just... oh, wait... damn." and then act all sad when I "remember" I only have one thumb.

This is my dream.

Minecraft cosplay

Planning some Minecraft cosplay for Hal-Con. Thinking of just getting a blue-green shirt and some jeans, and putting a cardboard box on my head with the main player face on it. Also cutting out a pixelly pickaxe and a sword out of cardboard and painting them.

The manstrual cycle

Once every 25 or 30 days or so, men get the urge
to do something manly, such as building something, moving some
furniture, that sort of thing. They always inadvertently wind up cutting
themselves on something and bleeding for a few days afterwards. This is
referred to as "manstration" and is part of the natural cycle ...of being a
man.

orangeteeth

So eating an orange after brushing your teeth is of course pretty nasty, however brushing your teeth after eating an orange is no picnic either.

Little D knows how to make an entrance

Best possible way to make an entrance: somersault into a room, and then declare you're from the future.

 

A very Potter Sequel rocks hard.

What about Batman?

So hey. Batman. Can beat anyone with enough preparation time? Perhaps.
But can he beat hemorrhoids, with enough preparation H?

Candy corn

This must be tachyon candy corn, I got a sugar rush before eating it.

The might of... Hercules

To say getting up this morning to drag myself to work required a Herculean effort doesn't do it justice. I prefer to reference specific parts of Hercules' labors. Getting up this morning to drag myself to work was like Hercules holding up the world while Atlas retrieved the golden apples for him.

Two great tastes that taste great together

Step 1: Get a wrap.
Step 2: Smear peanut butter all over one side of the wrap.
Step 3: Add macaroni and cheese.
Step 4: Wrap the wrap and seal it using a George Foreman grill or other similar style cooler.
Step 5: Eat the best fucking wrap ever.

Hal-Con

So hey, who has heard of the Hal-Con sci-fi/fantasy/gaming/anime convention?

It's going to be pretty fucking epic, so you should probably figure out a way to go.

Google it.

Warning, incoming game

http://geeksversusnerds.com/podcasts/194-martin-riggs-versus-john-mcclane

Let these guys entertain you for a bit.

Facebook, moar liek FACEbook.. oh wait

So hey. Facebook is pretty much THE big fucking thing on the internet now, right?

I mean, there are GAME companies that make their entire living just off of the games they make for ON facebook, just for the premium items they charge for.

So hey, what do you folks think about that anyways? Kind of an odd business model but it seems to work. Facebook itself is free but the guys that run it are zillionaires. Facebook games are free, but the companies get rich off the premium content.

Personally, I've been avoiding Farmville like the plague, just on the principal. This might sound hypocritical since I play FRONTIERville, but damn it, I'm sticking to my guns. Farmville is THE big one everybody goes on about.

Electronics

So I've got an ipod, a couple computers, a satellite radio (I got for free) and of course various video game consoles. It seems these days everyone (except the amish) have tons of electronics.

What do you have, and which is your favorite? Which piece of electronics STILL blows your mind?

Apple pepsi, pepsi with apple

"Apple Pepsi" is freakin' delicious.

It's 3/4 Pepsi, 1/4 apple juice.

Alternately, apple WITH pepsi, is 3/4 apple juice, 1/4 pepsi. Also delicious.

The same applies to orange juice. Someone argued that you are only supposed to combine pepsi with vodka, likewise you are only supposed to combine orange juice with vodka.

I therefore argue that pepsi and orange juice are the same thing, and thus there is no harm in combining them.

Slap chop

So I finally gave in to infomercial temptation and bought a Slap Chop.

Thing is actually really handy. Doesn't feel cheap or anything, and works as advertised.

Magic bullet's kind of crap though.

Good last words

If you knew for certain you were going to die on a certain date and time, and how, so you had time to think about your last words and what you want on your headstone, what would you do?

Me? Last words would be "Respawning in 3... 2... 1..." and my headstone would probably say "I finished ahead of you in the human race."

Godzilla

Would Godzilla have been BAD for the economy, due to all the business and such he destroys, or would he be GOOD for the economy, due to all the reconstruction jobs he would create?

Discuss.

My job sucks?

Do you know what sucks about my job?
Getting up at 6:30 am to go to work.

Do you know what ELSE sucks about my job?
NOTHING!

Heartburn. AGHGARHGAHG

So hey, what would you consider is the best for heartburn? Tums or Rolaids? Zantac? Pepsid AC? Generic versions of any of the above? Taking ALL of them, plus some pepto bismol, putting it in a blender, and making a smoothie?

Seriously. I have an insane fire in my stomach that I must quell daily with pills lest it devour me alive. Could use some tips here.

Labor day

If it's called "Labor day" why is it we celebrate it by NOT working?

Pchooooooooo

Who reads homestuck?

Hurricane Earl?

Moar like Hurricane Little Girl, am I right? Hey buddy, if I wanted windy and a LITTLE rain I'd turn on a fan and hit it with a squirt gun.

Space JAMMMMMMMMMM

So hey, who remembers Space Jam?
Probably most of you.

I know my mind was fucking blown, back when, with that combo of toon and real life. But then again, Roger Rabbit did it first, and better.

Still, funny movie, and it gave the internet something new to chew on in the form of Lola Bunny.

Michael Jordon plays a lot basketball these days, right? Or baseball? Golf?

Volkswagen 2011 Jetta

Alright, so I got a lot of people, both in the comments, and through private messaging (a lot of my followers already know me) and in person, the 2011 Jetta is probably the car I am most likely to buy.

Internally AND externally, but mainly internally, it looks like it wants to be an Audi, with a lot of features you see in them. Somehow it's going to have a starting price of around 15,000-16,000. As for pictures... I don't quite know how to put pictures in here so I'll just link to V dub's website which has a lot of pictures AND you can custom build your own car.

http://www.vw.ca/ca/en_ca/models/jetta_2011.html

Hi Ho, silver!

Come on new Jetta, get released already.
I want to buy you. And be inside you.

It's September O Clock - Do you know where your children are?

So here's my plan.

I am going to get a ton of bags of party ice. I am going to blend those into snow with my blender.
I am going to make a snowman with the snow.


Then I will wear this snowman.

It is HOT

It is so hot, I opened my freezer and it was full of boiling water.

It is so hot, I went to a farm and instead of animals the fields were full of jerky.

It is so hot, I went to take a piss but it came out as dust.

It is so hot, I went to drink some iced tea and it was a cup full of leaves.

It is so hot, when I farted it caught fire.

I have a feed

Since I have a lot of followers, (although at least half of you are friends from IRL and online, and the other half are friends of those friends) I decided to get a feed so you can follow my feed for updates.

http://feeds.feedburner.com/ABoatOfGravy


Check it out. You can subscribe to it using your favorite feed thing. Rss feed and whatnot.

Also, what the heck is mesothelioma and why do I get so many emails about the symptoms of mesothelioma or treatment for mesothelioma or information on mesothelioma? If I'm going to get spam emails, I'd like to at least know what the heck it is I'm getting them about.

Mesothelioma? Anyone?

Are you INSANE?

You know what show completely rocked?

Invader Zim completely rocked.

Barbeque

So hey. How does BBQ sound? It is a super awesome summer day where I am, I am thinking of grilling a smorgasbord. Like, one Oktoberfest sausage, one mini-steak, one mini-porkchop, one hot-dog, and two sliders (mini-burgers) which would in total work out to a slightly larger than average meal, but not overwhelming, and would have a delicious barbeque variety.

Also, of course, I plan on having a nice cold beer with this.

Sound like a delicious plan? I'm going to fire it up in 5 minutes regardless of any feedback, but this way I can make you folks hungry.

Look, don't touch.

You know the saying "Look, but don't touch?"
That should totally apply.

Found my friends

I'm glad I was able to find and follow so many of my online friends so soon after getting a blogger. You guys were right, this site is great, it's way better than livejournal. Thanks!

Ads

Ok, I've figured out how to do templates. What I need to do now, however, is remove that middle of the page ad that goes below my newest post, and JUST keep the ad that I can move around with the "design" page.

How can I do this?

Templates and ads

Does anybody know if I can change the template used for my blog now? If so, how?

Also is there a way to remove the ad that appears directly below my latest post, and just have the one ad that the design option let's me actually move around?

Any and all help is appreciated.

So hey

Do any of you folks who seem to be following this blog play Munchkin?

a "magic" day

So I just recently had a party where a couple dozen people came over to my new place, to play Magic. It was pretty fun, but you always have to hate that fag who uses nothing but proxies, super obscure cards that he's printed out himself, and pulling off some stuffy doll infinite damage lazer to immediately kill you.

That said, chain reaction is win when you're playing in a free for all with 12 other opponents. Just wipe the board and burn them.

Kill a cold

So hey, I mentioned earlier about posting a recipe for a cold-killing drink.

Here that is.

Get some ginger-lemon tea. Doesn't matter what brand, you could even make your own. It has to be a hot drink that contains ginger (the more the better) and lemon.
Mix some rum and some honey together. I find coconut rum works awesome. 1 shot of rum is fine, and however much honey you want.

Combine that with the tea. Like, if you want to soak the teabag (if you use 'em) in the rum and honey mixture while you boil your water, it infuses shit.

Drink it. Every day. Until your cold is gone.

Ginger is good for colds and shit, it helps push that out. Lemon or other citrus is high in vitamin c, which bolsters your immune system. Honey is a good all around thing, it even has antiseptic properties, plus it's pretty nutritious and gives you energy to fight back. Rum is good for it's antiseptic properties since it's alcohol. Not too strong, since you don't want to run yourself down, but just enough to help clean out some of the crud.

I can get a cold that has other people suffering for weeks, and be done it in 3 days with this.

Brand doesn't matter for any of the ingredients. Just use your favorites.

This does NOT work for stomach things. In fact, it'll likely come back up.

Hello, my friends.

I know a lot of people who have blogs on here, but I don't know their blog address. If you're somebody I know, the best way to get my attention is to follow me. Maybe post a comment just saying hi. That way I can find your blog, read what I've missed, and follow you so I can see your shit in the future.

So hey (I know I'm blogging a lot today but its a new blog!)

If you want to know how to cure a cold with rum and other stuff (also, if you want me to FOLLOW YOUR BLOG) then follow my blog, and drop me a link in the comments here. I'll be sure to check it out, follow your blog if I like what you have to say, I'll look at your blog every day to be sure I'm up to date on your new posts. That's how I roll. Probably tomorrow or so I'll drop my cold-killer on here and then you can all thank me by mailing me lots of money or something.

So hey follow me damn it

What you will want to do is follow me, because I will be dropping all kinds of awesome tidbits (like the previous bit about pancakes. That shit was DELICIOUS) on here, and you don't want to miss out. Want to know my awesome home cold remedy that involves rum and at least 5 other ingredients? You will need to stay tuned.

I should clarify

So this morning I was making some delicious pancakes. With chocolate chips AND blueberries in them. With a dash of cinnamon added to the batter.

So I have this apple-cider syrup, that's basically delicious apple-cinnamony goodness. I used that on my pancakes, and man that was delicious.

That's what I had for breakfast.

So hey

Motherfucking pancakes, with apple-cider syrup.

That shit's delicious!

So yeah

This will be my blog.
