This Is The Most Hilarious Fake Audiophile Garbage I've Yet Seen!

2009-11-26T06:06:25Z

The Blackbody is a high-tech audio accessory which greatly enhances your audio playback experience by addressing the interaction of your audio gear's circuitry with ambient electromagnetic phenomena and modifying this interplay. The Blackbody takes advantage of the quantum nature of particle interaction, and is therefore able to permeate metal, plastic, wood, and other barriers to affect the circuitry inside your components. This altered electromagnetic influence results in profoundly improved sound quality.

The person who wrote this deserves an A+ for science fiction writing!

"The Blackbody utilizes particle/wave patterns to work, and therefore does not need to be wired to your gear. It needs only to be placed near your audio system, either on the gear itself, or on the floor or a nearby shelf. The device can be thought of as a sort of flashlight which shines at a 35 degree angle from its center."

Riiiight... By the way, this device is endorsed by the same website (Positive Feedback) that endorsed $7,250 Pear Anjou cables as "danceable".

Absolutely hilarious.

Pomegranate juice with an ounce of white rum is fantastic.

I suppose I should update the LJ community to let everyone know that I took a bartending course for fun and got a 100% score on the final exam.

Scribblenauts does not know the word "popsicle".

I had to use "freeze pop."

This is surprising, considering you can summon Keyboard Cat and Chthulu.

Edit: It turns out that "popsicle" is Trademarked.

Clubbing

2009-09-01T05:53:26Z

I don't really mind going clubbing on rare occasions.

But as best I can tell, clubbing is the most efficient model businesspeople have found to monetize situations and services that artificially enhance a person's self-perception of social value for the purpose of temporarily giving them a feeling of enhanced abilities to convey this artificially heightened social value to others who are vain enough to care about that sort of thing.

Blech.

And I'm really not a fan of seven dollar beers either.

Christmas in August @ Costco

This has officially gone too far.

Costco is now displaying lighted Christmas Trees and has two rows full of Christmas decorations, gift bags, and other assorted trimmings.

Forum Hilarity

2009-08-18T04:30:38Z

One of the forums I visit has an annual "User Awards" contest where people vote on who is the most helpful user, the most knowledgeable user, the funniest user, which threads are the most useful, etc.

This year, one poster who is a Notorious Troll managed to get voted as the #1 "Off Topic Forum" poster because of the hilarity that ensued from the flame wars and arguments that came whenever he posted. He was known to have incredibly stupid and racist opinions.

And when he won the "Off Topic Forum" award and sent his contact information in to the forum admins so he could receive his prize, the admins realised that the e-mail address belonged to a previously banned user.

So they banned him again.

Internet Darwin Award, methinks?

I think that putting a urinal in home bathrooms would do much to end the war over the toilet seat's position.

It Must Be All The Construction Or Something.

We have 2 seasons around here, Winter and Construction.

I used to think Winter was the time when you're most likely to get rear-ended due to fools who drive around on poorly inflated balding all-season tires on ice. But not today.

Damned construction leads to bumper-to-bumper traffic. It's a miracle I got home unscathed.

For Those "Christmas Music in July" Impluses...

2009-07-04T02:28:00Z

Yeah, so sometimes I feel like listening to Christmas music when it's nowhere near Christmas.

The good thing about Traditional Trinidadian Christmas Music ("Parang") is that it does not sound like normal Western Christmas Music. You can listen to it openly and most people don't know what it is because Parang is in Spanish, but sung with a Trinidadian accent by people who don't actually know Spanish (who learned it from other people or records sung by others who did not know Spanish.)

I supposed I should give some free advertising to the Sensodyne people.

For a long time I thought that toothpaste was a gimmicky product, but it is actually quite effective at treating temperature-sensitive teeeth.

I've seen a lot of Judge Judy episodes, but I cannot begin to count the amount of stupid in this episode, which someone named, "The Fickist Plaintiff Ever". Whatever that means.
