Bag of Randomness

  • I’m surprised that Radio Shack is still around.
  • I find the Arby’s commerical where the guy accidentally says “I love you” annoying.
  • Same goes for Pizza Hut’s “a large for $5.99.”  But I guess this one is effective as I know the price.
  • Lynda the Singing SWA Flight Attendant –  YouTube
  • Speaking of SWA, they followed the Golden Rule and may have a customer for life.  Link
  • Here’s a nice little time-waster, but let me warn you that your browser window will go crazy.
  • The Octomom has to make money somehow, now she’s going to trademark the name.
  • I hear a lot about someone named Lady Gaga, but I know nothing about her.
  • I found a new route home, and it’s awesome.
  • It’s been a really long work week, and I’m only working four days this week.
  • I think I need to buy some Dublin Dr Pepper and take it to Abilene, but I’m not sure.
  • There’s a greater than zero chance that I will actually worship in a Baptist church this Sunday.
  • I’m participating in an auction for back stage passes to the U2 concert.
  • I don’t really enjoy any of our local news stations.
  • My friend BibleScholarGeorge just moved into a former Dallas Cowboys player’s house.  He was pretty sure it was this Cowboy when he looked through past property owners, but it was confirmed by a certain item that was left behind in the house.  I would provide more details, but not comfortable doing so as I haven’t talked to BibleScholarGeorge about this.
  • The first item to put together SisterGeeding’s Christmas present arrived in the mail yesterday.
  • Need another time-waste?  Play with a spider.
  • I think the quality of posts this week have been very sub-par.
  • As I’m going through my beginners class and reading new material from  my new church, the one thing I’m learning is that they don’t want you to do anything out of guilt.

Hong Kong Christens an Ark of Biblical Proportions Hong Kong Christens an Ark of Biblical Proportions

HONG KONG — This city’s three billionaire Kwok brothers have just the answer for the rising waters threatening the global economy: the world’s first life-size replica of Noah’s ark, built to biblical specifications off the coast of this recession-struck Chinese financial center.

The message in its 450-foot-long hull, its rooftop luxury hotel and 67 pairs of fiberglass animals: “The financial tsunami will be over,” says Spencer Lu, the Kwoks’ project director at Noah’s Ark, which is opening soon.

The land-bound ark wasn’t built in response to the current global turmoil; it has been in the planning for 17 years. But the financial storm provides a nice marketing hook for the Kwoks’ ambitious project, which will probably need to lure visitors from beyond Hong Kong’s city limits to be an economic success.

BA-K-47

We had our first annual Bacon Day this past Saturday. As a huge fan of bacon, and all the great bacon blogs out there, I decided it was time for me to make my own bacon creation. I came up with the BA-K-47, a 1:1 scale AK-47 made out of bacon. It took a total of eight hours to create, a lot of bacon, and a blowtorch… oh yeah, and our good friend beer helped too.
