Leeroy Jenkins!

Posted on by

In lighter news today, I came across this amusing video on chugnutt.com. Leeroy Jenkins! is apparently a battle cry of some sort in World of Warcraft. In my game-playing I’ve never heard it before, but I find it very funny.

The video itself is a typical group of geeks gathered around in their virtual world preparing for a large battle, when one of them gets tired of waiting and attacks sending the entire group to their death. You may not understand everything that goes on, but you have to appreciate the supreme “geekness” that goes on here.

Anyway, enjoy.

Introducing ME SMASH!

Posted on by

A friend of mine, and regular commenter here on A Random Act of Blogging, decided to finally bite the bullet and thrust his ideas onto the rest of Internet society. ME SMASH! is the result of his ramblings. Take a look and help him increase his traffic. Let him know what you like and don’t like (if you don’t like, I didn’t send you there). Here is a little clip of what you may find:

In the beginning…there was the internet and it was good. Then we hot aired humans decided to fill it up with all sorts of nonsensical drib drab. Since I’m one of the most winded individuals I know I figure it’s time I showed the internet world just how bad my chronic case of diarrhea of the lips really is. Me SMASH! is my means of torturing my friends and family. It’s also an evil experiment designed to prove humans are in fact not logical.

Presidential Test

This test only has one question, but it’s a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally. The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.

You are in Florida, Miami to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and, you’re caught in the middle of this epic disaster.

The situation is nearly hopeless. You’re trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.

Suddenly you see a man floundering in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer. Somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is.

It’s George W. Bush! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to pull him under.

You have two options–you can save the life of G.W.Bush or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world’s most powerful men.

So here’s the question, and please give an honest answer:

An Automatic CS Paper Generator

I came across this extremely funny article this morning on Chaos Magnet. Now, beware, you must put your “Geek-Hats” on to appreciate this. Some students at MIT have created a program to generate CS (that’s Computer Science for those non-geeks) papers and had one of their papers accepted to a conference. Here is a small blurb from their website:

SCIgen is a program that generates random Computer Science research papers, including graphs, figures, and citations. It uses a hand-written context-free grammar to form all elements of the papers.

Take a look at this stuff here:

Geek Humor

Found a funny bit of CSS today. I think my geekness is in full force today, because this had me rolling.

b {
font-weight : bold;
}

Then I came across this line of code:

Const int ONEPLUSTWO = 1+2

I can’t believe people actually do things like this.

Bush Humor

Posted on by

This gave me a chuckle. Thought I would re-post it here.

Q: How many Bush Administration officials does it take to change a light bulb?

A: None. There is nothing wrong with the light bulb; its condition is improving every day. Any reports of its lack of incandescence are illusional spin from the liberal media. Illuminating rooms is hard work. That light bulb has served honorably, and anything you say undermines the lighting effort. Why do you hate freedom?

You know you’re living in 2004 when…..

Posted on by

I got this in an email from my wife… I actually found it somewhat amusing.

You know you’re living in 2004 when…..

  1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
  2. You haven’t played solitaire with real cards in years.
  3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.
  4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
  5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don’t have e-mail addresses.
  6. You go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in a business manner.
  7. You make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial “9″ to get an outside line.
  8. You’ve sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies.
  9. You learn about your redundancy on the 11 o’clock news.
  10. Your boss doesn’t have the ability to do your job.
  11. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.
  12. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.
  13. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn’t have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
  14. You get up in the morning and go on-line before getting your coffee.
  15. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :)
  16. You’re reading this and nodding and laughing.
  17. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.
  18. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
  19. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn’t a #9 on this list.
  20. AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself.
