And now, they’re profiting off the dogfighting allegations by selling “Sack Vick” T-shirts.

So the Liquid Egg Product tends to salute–and be envious–of anyone demonstrating a modicum of courage. Enter Scott Olsen, a pitcher for our popular local baseball team, the Florida Marlins.

Who thought Dennis Kucinich was relevant enough to invite there?

Not as bad as I thought. Had to call twice (this was company business, BTW). The voice used for their automated system seems random–there’s at least one female and one male voice.

Both the agents were female native English speakers, and understood everything I said. Definitely an added bonus. Although getting “Bob” from Sri Lanka would have made a more interesting story.

Right now, I’m on the phone with United Airlines. Or will be eventually. After navigating through a voice navigation system which understood half of what I said (American’s is much better), I’m on hold for a human agent. Said human will probably be from Sri Lanka and also understand only half of what I say.

In other words, Liquid Egg Product is a good source for news about the ridiculously obese.

Now that I’ve got a traffic ticket, I’m getting swarmed by adverts for Attorneys at Law. At least none of them say “se hablo español”.

Don’t try to get any of the following vanity plates:

DUI MAN

Annie must be back at work because she left a ton of comments.

I have a very special announcement* to make this coming week. I can’t really give details right now, but it’s a rather ambitious project that will undoubtedly never get finished.

It’s official: the Guinness Book of World Records has listed Manuel Uribe as the world’s fattest human. He peaked at over 1,200 lbs (560 kg).

“I’m glad to be in the Guinness Book as the fattest man,” Uribe said, and was even given a glass plaque to recognize the “accomplishment”.

(For prior posts on Manuel Uribe, click here and here.)

It’s been rumored that Cheney has been unhappy with the president’s inability to “get things done”, and will try to initiate his agenda as quickly as possible.

Today, I finally get to restart on one of the major projects that I need to finish. For the five weeks, we’ve been putting out one huge fire so I’ve not had a chance to work on it.

Now I realize I have no clue where I left off, and don’t remember how all the code works. That’s one reason it’s good practice to comment the code, so it’s easier to see what the code does and why. (Believe me, this is an absolute necessity when looking at other people’s code.)

This was found at the top of one of the functions:

/// TODO: FINISH IT.

Good times.
