Where's that pizza already?

Where's that pizza already?, originally uploaded by michael rupert.

Also, what's his name already? Yesterday I was close to calling him The Dude ala The Big Lebowski. That would work much better if I also had a Walter and a Donny, and I'm not about to. Not to mention the rug I would need to tie his room together too. STFU Donny!

Saturday was Caturday - LOL Etc.

Long story short, I got a kitten. I adopted him from the Orange County Animal Shelter this past Caturday. They called him Elvis. I'm not sure what I'll call him yet. He's a sport. More later...

Lions, Water Buffalo, Crocodiles - Battle Royale

A battle between a pride of lions, a herd of buffalo, and 2 crocodiles at a watering hole in South Africa's Kruger National Park. It's an epic battle with an ending I never expected.



More wild animal video footage

Dramatic Chipmunk - er Prarie Dog

The sudden push in, dramatic music, and in ur face shot of this guy is being touted as the best 5 seconds of video on the internet by many blogs. I'll agree with that today.

You Stay Classy Something Mobile Company

This is a snippet from an email that went to all in our company regarding building rules. I have no idea what spawned this email, but lately nothing surprises me about this place and the people working here.

In accordance with Exhibit D from each of your office Leases, “Tenant shall not cause or permit any improper noises in the Building, or allow any unpleasant odors to emanate from the Premises, or otherwise interfere with, injure or annoy in any way other tenants, or persons having business with them.”

Please do not let anyone from your office conduct themselves in an unfit manner when outside your office. This includes riding scooters/skateboards through the corridors. Thanks for your help in this matter.

Who knew they were IN UR NEWZ PAPER HAS'N CHEESEBURGERS in the early 1900's. LOL

Apple iPhone

This is the best Apple iPhone writeup I've read yet. Here are a few of my favorite bullets.

• Takes Polaroids


• When moved from hand to ear, makes Lightsaber sound effects


• Comes with an iPhone hat, so people know you own an iPhone during the brief periods you're not using it

Microsoft Surface - Big Ass Table

SarcasticGamer.com cracked me up with this parody of Microsoft's Surface commercial.

Obituary of the year

Immendorff was discovered naked having his nipples licked by a retinue of seven young filles de joie, while 11 grams of cocaine lay ready for consumption on a Versace ashtray nearby. With an obituary like that, how can you be remembered for anything else? Found via Fark. Link

No Hand King

No Hand King, originally uploaded by michael rupert.

When I still worked downtown Raleigh, I would see this guy every morning on my way to work. We've since moved to another office. Traveling West on I-40, we spotted The King doing his thing. Hopefully I didn't interrupt an important call. Yep, he's even on myspace.

Hooray Beer!

I like Red Stripe, it's beer! I also like their new commercials.

Americans In France

My friends Kent, Josh, and Cassey aka Americans In France played their third show Saturday night at The Cave in Chapel Hill NC. They don't have a website...yet. The place was packed and they rocked as usual. (My 1964 Gibson SG Jr. was on loan for a few songs - nice!)

Alternate Sopranos Ending

I watched the Sopranos on HBO and I was a little disappointed by the ending. I get it, but I didn't love it. I knew it would only be a matter of time before fans created alternat endings. I can't wait for more of these to show up. I love the music reference to the finale of The OC (by Imogen Heap) (no I've never watched The OC) which was lampooned by SNL in the following skit. I guess it's a comment on what a great TV series would be like with a mainstream pop ending. The cat was Adriana! Oh! Hear what I said? I said the cat was Adriana! Oh!

Here's the SNL parody of The OC finale (find the original of that one yourself if you must):
