The Way it Is

I’m a tad late on the Friday Funny, or we can call this one Wacky for my Wednesday post. Nothing funny crossed my desk until this from a dear friend:

When our lawn mower broke and wouldn’t run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the truck, the car, playing golf – always something more important to me.

Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush.

I said, “When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway.”

The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.

Moral to this story: Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the other is the husband!

Infect Your Computer for Free in Helsinki

Reuters is reporting that Didier Stevens made an Internet ad pumping a computer virus. Not anti-virus, the actual thing. He had over 400 people click the ad that explicitly read:

“Is your PC virus-free? Get it infected here!”

Being an experiment, Stevens can only conlude that people are stupid.

American Idol Finale Prediction

I have very mixed emotions about tonight’s show, but first I’d like to start off by saying we’re all stupid. If we are going to watch 2 hours of silly stuff and old singers and commercials and Simon Cowell scratching his chest just because we want to see the last 5 minutes. I was one of those kids on the playground that would dance around because I had to go to the bathroom because I was afraid I’d miss something cool if I went inside for 5 minutes. That’s how I feel tonight. Maybe someone is going to suck or fall or say something incredibly stupid and I won’t know it if I just watch the end.

Back to last night, I totally agree with Simon’s final bit, not the one everyone is playing about Jordin wiping the floor with Blake. That was in reference to one song, dawg! I think the best song was Blake’s repeat of his smash performance of Bon Jovi week, but Jordin sang the fan song better. Arguably, I think the song was written to be better sung by a woman than a man, and I think the dawg made a bad move by going first, because then that left Jordin singing last. Last impressions count.

American Idol Final Performances

Tonight is the long-awaited final night of singing and competing for Season 6. We’ve seen stars like Chris Sligh, Sundance Head, Phil Stacey, and Melinda Doolittle fall out of the competition due to imcompetant voting by the American Public. I use a capital letter there to emphasize those voters as a moronic entity that should be fenced in somewhere near Area 51 under heavy surveilance.

We will see Blake Lewis and Jordin Sparks face off in an undoubtedly hot competition. They are coming in with two completely different styles, approaches to arranging the songs, and performing experience. Blake is a balls-out throw-down “I’m going to sing this the way I want, and you’re going to love it” singer. Jordin is a sweet, heart-tugger that can not only sing, but makes little hearts with her hands at the end and had incredible puppy eyes.

To top things off tonight, I heard on the radio this morning that Paula Abdul fell on her face trying to save her dog from damage. Sure… you weren’t drinking. Sure. Any dancer can move enough to avoid a face-plant if they’re sober. They must have played the sound clip of her explaining the fall 4 times during the morning report on my way to work. She sounds hammered to me. I can’t wait to survey the damage. /snork. Sorry, I shouldn’t laugh at someone’s injury… /snork. A faceplant the day before being on TV for the most-watched show so far this year.

Who will it be, people? Jordin? … Blake?
