Reservations have been made

Hey boys. Sputnik! There is no need for your wife to come get you after the brew-ha-ha, bro. You can spend the night in my basement apartment after your night of drunken debauchery. That offer stands for the rest of y'all, too. Only one double bed, though, so first come first served. Unless you want to share the bed, that is. How thick are those beer goggles, anyhow?!

Seriously, though, you can stay here so the wife doesn't have to come get you.

Hey Rudy I found a Job for You Mate

Rudy Rockin' Out in Japan!

"Stop shaking it Brock"


So I listened to HVII on my Ipod this weekend, and could hear a lot of background dialog and music that I have never picked up on. For some reason the UE ear buds I have really deliver all those hidden sounds. For the first time ever, I could clearly heard Ted say to Brock in the bathroom, "Stop shaking it Brock." Clear as day and funny as a Jaro Euro Fart.

PDF test

Hey, we can do the layout for comics in MS Word and then export to PDF files. They come out looking pretty good:

Brew Ha Ha and eMotes reunion tour



You are all cordially invited to the Bridad House on July 12th at 5:00 PM. We will start with a BBQ of burgers and brats and (for those who want to partake) have a round the world brew tour sampling. When the sun sets, the eMotes opens their one city reunion tour in the outside venue courtesy the Zoom Box and Rudy.



Sputnik and I are making a trip to the beer store tomorrow if anyone has input in that regard. I will supply the burgers, brats, and water/soda. Everything else is up for grabs.

Not the "C" word!

A FIENDLY REMINDER...
ALL DARE 2 DIRECT SHORT FILM CONTEST ENTRIES MUST BE POSTMARKED BY JULY 28th

SUBMISSIONS MUST BE BETWEEN THREE AND SIX MINUTES LONG

A lot has happened in the world since last year's Dare 2 Direct entries were uploaded onto the Chiller Web site. The cost of a first class stamp rose to 42 cents. Scientists discovered ice on Mars. And Dumbledore got outed.

Some other things happened that you should be mindful of. All Dare 2 Direct 2008 entries must be between three and six minutes long. Also, the deadline for entries is a bit earlier than last year's. Your submission must be postmarked by July 28th and received no later than August 4th.

Yep, consider your pants officially kicked.

Nothing much, but couple things anyway...

Hey guys.

How are you guys capturing DVD screen shots? Nothing I am doing will work; I even downloaded programs that said they capture DVD screen shots, but it won't work. UGH.

Also, I tried to hook up that zip drive, but the connectors do not fit my Mac nor my PC. So, unless we get something that has different cables, I can't get those images.

Happy Saturday Night.

Someone needs a hug

Tosaku, Mahalia, Jim, and Eric have some encouraging words for you, Man-e-faces. Cheer up, ya old bugger.














And remember, it's not R.I.P. D.C. but reborn D.C....

Your gilded cage has been opened.

Fly, little birdy.

Fly.

... he had a good run ...

A Salute to our Good Friend



Man-e-faces, this salute is for you. Stand at attention!

As you ride off in the sunset for this not-so-epic chapter of your life, try not to let injustice embitter you. That enables the small-minded to take control of the situation. They may seem like they have a small semblance of power, but it is just an illustion. The true power is not the immediate, but the long-term. If you take away positive learning experiences and memories from all of this, then they have lost all hold over you entirely. Easier said than done in the face of injustice, but true. If you truly don't care, then those would would gain pleasure from your pain have earned nothing. In fact, they have lost a great deal in the process.

Also, remember your friends. You have made a positive impact on the lives of those around you. I, myself, am better for knowing you. While the frequency of fellowship with your pals may diminish by the very nature of the situation, do not let it be an obstacle to discourage quality time with your friends. We still need you.

Fare thee well, my friend. But not goodbye!

Hey Guys. I actually have a couple of these. If you think it would be fun, we can do some Geocaching in Pioneertown. There are a bunch of them there. Check this out:

Geocaches in Pioneertown.

Just a thought. It ain't necessary if y'all don't think it would be fun.

Kool Aid Recognition




"I would like to nominate Rudy – Rudy brought a TnS case to me the other day, and although the action we had taken on his account was a pain point, Rudy understood that the action had to be taken, and really backed up TnS on the conference call with his member. Rudy was able to help his account see the importance of the policy and by the end of the call had the member thanking him for thanking the time to ensure that he understood the policy. I was very impressed with how seriously Rudy takes his job as an account manager and impressed with the professional way he deals with his accounts. He turned a call with a really upset member into a positive learning experience."

"I would like to nominate Rudy this week. Recently, Rudy assisted me in a team building exercise by supplying me with support questions and answers. I was able to tap into Rudy’s vast well of knowledge and spring forth with the information I needed to complete the project. Many thanks go to Rudy’s generosity of time and experience! Like the Kool-Aid guy busting thorough a brick wall, Rudy gets the job done with flair!"

Rudy was right about me


You are THE CYLON HYBRID.


OK, we aren't sure exactly what you are, but we do know the Cylon war machine wouldn't function without your perpetual semiconscious muttering. You are a speaker of truth — veiled in gibberish. But hey you don't really have to know what you're talking about,so long as the rest of them believe you know what you're talking about. Plus, you get to kick it in your own personal spa tub all day.

Confirmed Human...how about you?



You are GAIUS BALTAR.



You are a genius. You are the smartest human alive. And no one appreciates that fact more than you. Oh, how you've suffered for it — labeled a traitor, tortured by both the Cylons and the humans, put on trial, nearly lynched, stabbed, shot, strangled, cast out of human society. But hey: a whole harem of very fine women just adopted you as their personal messiah and man-of-the-house. So things are starting to look up.
