I ran into a little dilemma yesterday. Im driving along on my daily travels, drinking a 7-11 coffee. Just a normal day. All of a sudden it hits me. Too much coffee, I have to find a restroom. The closest thing to me at the time was a Pizza restaurant, so I pull over and walk inside.

Its early in the day so not many people were in the Pizza restaurant, just a family enjoying the Pizza Buffet. I make my way into the bathroom and looked around. There is one stand up urinal and a handicap stall. Now I cant wait much longer or I will be standing in a puddle. I look and see an empty wheelchair with the owner standing up using the urinal. I start walking towards the handicap stall and the guy using the urinal gives me a funny look, as if he was thinking…

"I know you aren’t going to use the handicap toilet with me, a handicap man, standing right here"

What do I do? Well I gotta go, so I ask the guy "is it ok if I use this" pointing to the handicap stall. He says "its a handicap toilet, are you handicap?"

I look to see if he was joking, but he was dead serious. I then said "Excuse me, I figured that you were already using the urinal and there aren’t any other handicap people around so maybe I could just use this one, I was only asking you to be polite" He went on about how he hates every time he goes to a public restroom and people are using the handicap toilet and he cant go, was really rude about it and went on and on. In the middle of his conversation I walked into the handicap toilet and did my business, I just couldn’t wait any longer. I got out, washed my hands and walked out.

As I was making my way through the Pizza restaurant to leave, the handicap guy rolled up behind me, calling me rude and making a scene. I was a little embarrassed and getting a little angry at the same time as I felt that he was out of line in this situation. The manager came out and stopped me, lecturing me about handicap people and how others are so rude. Finally I turned around and told him…

"Handicap toilets are for easier access to people in wheelchairs, its made so that you can get from the wheelchair to the toilet. Its not your personal toilet. You are handicap and using the urinal, I didnt go in complaining that you are using my toilet! you know why? ITS NOT MY TOILET, just like the handicap toilet is not your toilet."

The manager then kicked me out of that Pizza restaurant and told me I cant come there again.

What did I do wrong?

Maybe Im a little messed up, and if I am please explain to me why.

You know what I think is so disgusting? People who use handkerchiefs. Think about this, some guy or gal has a cold, sniffling and sneezing, you can hear the mucus rattling in their nose. They pull out a handkerchief and blow their nose into it. All of that mucus and snot is blown all into that little piece of cloth. They then fold it up and put it in their pocket to use later.

That is just plain gross

I was in a fast food restaurant the other day and while I was waiting in line this guy pulled out a handkerchief. He then blew his nose into the handkerchief. Next he wrapped it around his finger and started digging in his nose. He did that pretty much the whole time he was in line, didn’t even stop when he was giving his order. I felt like asking him to stop.

Till this day, whenever I see someone pull a handkerchief out of their pockets, I get a little sick on the stomach. Every once in a while, you’ll run into someone that will hand you their handkerchief. You’re eating something and get something on your face, and some guy pulls out his handkerchief and offer it to you, like you really want to use someone elses snot rag to wipe their face.

If you are one of those people that use handkerchief’s, Im begging you to stop and buy those pocket size Kleenex packs. The handkerchief thing is just nasty

Speaking of "isn’t that bad" Vista has been getting a lot of grief since its release. and frankly….

Windows Vista isn’t that bad!!!

The complaints against Windows Vista are completely overrated. What I will admit too is that Vista isnt that much of a change from XP. Thats really the only fault of Vista. One thing that is good about Vista is that it is stable, secure, and has nice little graphical enhancements if you like that kind of stuff (yea I know thats more than one thing…sue me). The problems most people are having with Vista are problems that isn’t Vista’s fault.

• Lack of sufficient driver support.

• Lack of 3rd party software upgraded to be Vista compatible.

• Those Bozo’s at bestbuy.

I actually have a friend that bought a PC from BestBuy with Vista installed. The Bestbuy salesman told him that he had to purchase this $129  antivirus software cause its the only one that works with Vista, and theres no way to get working Antivirus unless the bestbuy guy does it. Now thats some Bull-ish, and thats what people are dealing with when they go to buy computers. By the time my friend left, he had it in his mind that he will not be able to do anything at all on that PC.

To be honest, most of the items above has since been fixed. Now its like how people use to say the XBOX controller sucks way after Microsoft switched to the newer controller. Its all Hype!!!! If your printer doesnt work now, you can almost surely go to the website and download drivers that will make it work. If they dont have drivers, chances are you have a 10 year old printer that isnt even in production anymore, you might as well be trying to get that printer to work with your cell phone.

Yea there are some things that are different, if you are use to using Windows XP, THERE WILL BE SOME CHANGES!!!. That doesnt mean it sucks, or doesnt work, or is bad. It just means that you have to learn the things that are different.

Jason Statham - Ray Liotta - Burt Reynolds - Ron Perlman.

What would you say if you saw that list of actors on a movie poster? Sounds like it should be good right? Well a couple of weeks ago there was this little movie called "In the name of the king: a Dungeon Siege story" that included all of those actors and a few more that you may have heard of. So why is it that on rottentomatoes.com that movie only has a 2%? Out of 100.

The quick answer is that movie was directed by Uwe Bol. The director of such greats like Bloodrayne, Alone in the dark, and House of dead…Yea he has been stinking up the place with his horrific movies. So how did he get those actors on board to create another potential crapfest? Maybe it was the $70 million budget.

Anyway, I saw that movie, and yes it was bad, but I don’t think it is as bad as people are saying. Even though I thought the movie was bad, I actually enjoyed it. It reminded me of those kung fu movies of the early 90s where everyone was flying around the screen with all sorts of wire tricks and special effects. The actors weren’t bad. The story, however was. Put that aside and the movie had what I liked, a lot of fight scenes and action. Enough to where it deserves more than the 2% that rottentomatoes.com is yielding. maybe 15%

I actually thinking Uwe Bol’s name attached to this movie doomed it. he would have to make a masterpiece before people would think anything other than utter garbage when viewing a movie he directed.

If you decide to go see this movie, remember, it is a bad movie….but it can be fun if you like action and fighting

Why do things like this keep happening to me? I was in Walmart today, I only had to pick up 2 things and I was in a rush. There was talk of snow in the news (which we didn’t get) so many people were in Walmart stocking up. I went to pay for my items and of coarse they were about 4 cashiers short of sufficiently supporting the rush. I look and there was one express lane that only had 1 person in line. I push my cart (yea one of the items was pretty big) over to the lane and got behind the guy in the line.

The guy in front of me looked to be about 30, had clearly more than the 10 items that the express lane called for. I figured this should still be quick, then I notice that he hadnt even put any of his items on the conveyor belt.

I looked to make sure the lane was open….It was

I looked to make sure the cashier was ready….He was

What was the hold up? I started to think maybe the cashier just turned on the light and was getting ready, or maybe they were waiting on a price check. Nope, the cashier was waiting, the line was open, the only hold up with this man with his 20 or so items. I waited a second, looked around, then looked at the guy. This bozo is standing in line smiling like a goofball sending text messages on his phone. I though, this silly mutha- then I stopped, cause I don’t usually curse, not even to myself. I asked him…

"Excuse me sir, are you in line?"

He doesn’t look up, sitting there smiling and pecking away at his phone like a pre-teen girl. By this time Im getting frustrated. I lean over, so that maybe I can catch his eye and said a little louder

"Excuse me, are you waiting for something?"

Figuring if he wants to chat, he could at least let me go since I only have 2 items. He still never look up. Finally, I said in a loud voice that he just could not ignore

"YO!!! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING ON!!! YO, AYE… YOU’RE HOLDING THE LINE UP, ARE YOU WAITING ON SOMETHING?"

He stopped smiling and looked at me, I said again…

"Are you gonna buy that stuff? Whats up?"

He put his hands on his cart, like he was going to push it, then I see this lady that looks like it could’ve been his mother rushing to the cart with a bottle of hand lotion.

Now thats some Bull-Ish!!!

I recently watched a movie that I hadn’t seen in a looong time. Conan the Barbarian. That movie will always hold a special place in my heart. Not because of the violence. Not because of all the nude women. And even though the scene where Arnold is having sex with the witch and threw her in the fire is pretty cool, that isn’t the reason either.

Yes you heard me, Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor of California was having sex with a woman, and threw her in the fire.

The reason that movie holds such a solid spot in my heart is because it was the first R rated movie my parents let me see. I was a big comic book guy so I just had to see Conan the Barbarian when it came out. I still remember begging my parents to let me see that movie. After my recent viewing of the movie, I started to ponder the idea of that movie being remade. Many may not think that Conan would be considered a great movie, but it did have potential. The movie had the making of a epic story, plenty of fight scenes and action, and of coarse the women. I think its about time for a remake.

I then watched Conan the Destroyer, the better budgeted but inferior sequel with Wilt chamberlain and the infamous Grace Jones.  That one doesn’t need to be remade.

What kills me about that first Conan movie is that James Earl Jones straight up played a white man in the movie, with the wig and all, like we wouldn’t notice.

Enjoy the trailer.

I loaned out my electric griddle. Yea I have an electric griddle, I love cooking breakfast on it. Eggs, bacon, that tasty maple sausage…

I want my griddle back!!!

The other morning I awake with thoughts of maple sausage cooked on my electric griddle. I decided I’m going to go get my griddle and cook me some maple sausage. I don’t care if it is 5 A.M. Expecting to wake that freeloading bugger up, I rang his doorbell about 3 or 4 times, followed by a few bangs with my fist like the police. He quickly opened the door and let me in. He looked pretty tired. Not like I just woke him, but like he hasn’t been to sleep.

Before I can ask him about my griddle, I asked whats wrong with you, why aren’t you sleep. Before I can finish questioning him, I noticed something. I take in a deep whiff and noticed a familiar smell.

You’re cooking maple sausage on my Griddle? I asked. He said its a long story….

The night before, he was out with friends. Hangin out at Walmart, buying toothpaste and Ramen noodles, you know, the essentials of life. He got a couple cases of Coors lite for the week, and headed out to their respective cars. He stopped to get gas and there were a few girls in a minivan that just left a local club and were really drunk and flirty.

He picked one and had a nice little conversation that lead back to his house and you can guess the next step.

Afterwards, he had what he considered to be the "closing chat" with the young lady and the evening was over, they both go home to their own beds and sleep off the shame. But something didn’t happen the way he expected.

She didn’t leave!!!

He was up all night, He couldn’t sleep cause he wanted her to leave, and she was snoring like pitbull. He was nice, figured he’d let her get an hour or 2 then try the "closing chat" bit again and she’d go home.

Needless to say, I am at his house, it is about 6 A.M and she is in the kitchen cooking maple sausage on my griddle. This story makes me want to give every lady out there this little message. If you are the type that occasionally engage in  trampy  promiscuous er Spontaneous activities such as this…

You don’t stay, unless you are asked to stay!!!

You don’t ask him if its ok. You don’t assume that since you had such a good time he wants you to stay. You don’t assume he wants you to stay at all. what you can assume is he wants you to go home. it has no bearing on how much fun you guys had, or how well the evening went, HE WANTS YOU TO GO HOME. Have your "closing chat", say bye and hop into your car and go to your place of residence.

If he wants you to stay, he will ask. Dont make him kick you out, or let you stay and avoid you from then on. cause that is what will happen.

This award was hard to pick, Both really earned recognition and instead of leaving one out, they will share this award. So who is most likely to be playin us for sucka’s in 2007? First of all, did you try to buy a Nintento Wii this year? couldn’t find one huh? Why is it a full year later, you still cannot walk into a store and buy a Nintendo Wii!!!

This is Insane!!!

Nintendo is playin us for Sucka’s

Stall us out, don’t make enough Wii’s and the demand will always be there. "People always want what they cant have, so lets play them fool’s" is what I imagine is being said behind the scenes over there at the Nintendo offices. The sad thing is, we are falling for it. I could care less about Nintendo gaming or waving my arms around to play games but I want a Wii cause I cant find one.

Google is playin us for Sucka’s

Nintendo is just 1 half of this years award, Who else deserves recognition for most likely to be playin us for sucka’s in 2007? Well a few months ago, there was some beat downs being dealt  around the web. Andy beard got his ass beat, Paula Neal Mooney got her ass beat, Jonzee.com got his ass beat. Websites and blogs we’re catching beat downs by none other than those Google Bastards. Our beloved Google gave us a taste of their evil dictatorship by dropping Page Rank’s, Search engine ranking, and everything else to websites that were using something other than Adsense to make their money. This is a quote from what someone told me they overheard at Google.

Those mindless bloggers think they are going to use our page rank system to make money, and bypass the use of adwords or adsense? Thats taking money from us!!! Do they know who they are @*!&ing with?  Release the hounds!!! Erase them completely if you have too!!! let them know we mean business

Can you believe that? Sounds a little crazy to me, but thats what someone told me they over heard so it must be true right? True or not, Google was acting like that "spoiled child that wants to be the boss of everyones toys" and earned without a doubt the half of this years award.

There has been a lot of product introductions in 2007. The Eee PC, Amazons Kindle, the Eye-Fi wireless SD card. Some of these products were good, some came and went, but none were more overhyped and overrated than this years winner of Bull-ish.com’s Most Overrated product of 2007. Rumors of the iPhone had actually been around for a few years but at the end of 2006 there were some concrete evidence that the iPhone was indeed coming. In January Apple finally announce the product and the whole web went wild. a couple months later and the iPhone was released and for months on end it has been one of the hottest, most talked about product.

So why is the iPhone the most overrated product of 2007

2 reasons.

• It was too expensive.

• It is a crippled device.

Why do I say its crippled? First let me say the iPhone is not a bad device, it is a good device. its just overrated. There are a lot of things done right with the iPhone, such as the large screen, the multi-touch technology. The browser and the email client. Beyond that, theres pretty much nothing else to the phone. The phone doesn’t even have any games for Christ sakes. When was the last time a cell phone shipped with no games at all, an no way to purchase them. And why cant I send or receive picture messages?

As it stands today, the iPhone is barely a smartphone, most other devices that fit into the smartphone category can do a lot more. Hopefully, Apple will update the phone to add more features, it is definetly capable of doing a lot more, its just crippled. If you hack your iPhone, you can do tons of stuff with it, but then you risk having it bricked by Apple.
