18 year old Elizabeth Frisinger was having a great time on a class trip, right up until she sent a text to the wrong person.

Would you like a Hard Candy?
Saw today’s Dilbert and thought it was the funniest thing ever.
Bike Hero
This is a way cool parody of Guitar Hero using a bicycle. The word is it was professionally created by an ad agency, but it’s still cool.
Ready for Winter?
I was at Target yesterday picking up a few household items. Of course, they have all their Christmas decorations and such out – guess it’s that time of year. What really cracked me up was this woman. She was in her late 20s, dressed in a sweater, jeans and snow boots. Very fashionable, she looked great. Thing is, it was 60 degrees out. I didn’t even bother to grab a jacket.
Guess not everyone is a fan of the global warming…
Daylight Savings Insanity
If you are like me, the whole time change makes you temporarily insane… but that’s really no excuse for this. This australian man has some choice things to say about Daylight Savings
I read somewhere that scientific studies had shown there is a lot less
moisture in the atmosphere which means we get less rain.I believe this one hour extra sun is slowly evaporating all the
moisture out of everything.Why can’t the Government get the CSIRO to do studies on this, or
better still, get rid of daylight savings.
Eating in the dark…
Just when I thought I’d seen everything, I found this – The cool thing to do now is to dine in the dark.
Depriving yourself of site is supposed to bring out the flavors in the food without distraction. I think it’s just an excuse to hire ugly waitresses and save money on wallpaper.

Take the test and leave your score as a comment. C’mon, it’s fun.
Walmart not interested in video
In what could end up being the corporate blunder of the year, Walmart has blown off the video company that has been taping it’s corporate meetings for the last 30 years.
Flagler Productions Inc., a small video production company, had been taping all of the goings on at Walmart for 30 years based on a verbal contract. In 2006 Walmart decided to dump Flagler for a newer, glitzier production company. There was no written contract concerning the content that had been recorded, so Flagler offered to sell it back to Walmart for $145 million. Walmart countered with an offer of $500,000 because they didn’t think anyone else would be interested in the footage… appearantly they were wrong. Since Walmart wasn’t interested, Flagler is now allowing public access to the archive, for a price.
Now there are videos of Walmart execs in drag on youtube and who knows how much more shennaniganary. Lawyers are climbing all over themselves looking for evidence to use in court cases involving the retail behemoth. This is not only an embarrassment for Walmart, it’s a potentially costly blunder. How could they possibly let someone have this content without making a reasonable attempt at negotiating a purchase?
In a way I feel bad for Walmart, the silly things that went on in their corporate meetings and picnics shouldn’t really qualify as evidence for lawsuits, or be a basis for criticizing a corporate mentality. If they want to have some fun and do something crazy behind closed doors – who cares? Guess they should have ponied up and bought the footage – might have saved them money and headaches in the long run.
Headline of the day – Immigration agents raid Pilgrim’s Pride plants
Maybe it’s just me, but this headline seemed a bit ironic. Immigration agents raid Pilgrim’s Pride plants
388 years have passed since those original Illegal Immigrants landed at Plymouth Rock, but it doesn’t look like their tactics have changed any. They are still supporting those who want to escape oppressive regimes and look for opportunity in the “New World”.
