netflix rating game pt 1

part one of the new netflix rating game.
they will get more difficult, so don't feel too special.
most humans born after Henry Ford's fourth birthday have seen this film, and it was released in 1975.
i've said too much!

solutions will be revealed at the end of the following round, and i will create a new round shortly after a correct answer is posted - by a reader's comment or by me - to keep things lively.

it is easy being green

part one of my two hundred seventy six part series,
"lazy for a better planet":
instead of buying new gift wrap, use recycled paper and bags.
many items are already sealed with countless layers of plastics, glues, paper products and other fastening objects, so just toss it in a nice little container.
maybe add some of that crunchy colorful stuffing paper for extra fun and do the scissor ribbon trick for fancy-shmancy curls.
little kids have enough trouble opening their gifts, and adults will appreciate your earth-friendly creativity.
also, it's great seeing people's reactions when they open a box from banana republic only to find a dvd inside.
tropic thunder director's cut? go ahead, try it on!

most viewed website

i am probably on amazon.com too much, but besides providing great deals and fast shipping, the website also maintains a vast quantity of laughable products and even funnier reviews.

i'm not really sure how i ended up looking at this product.
actually, i am.
i was trying the amazon android application on my phone by scanning the barcode on a pbr can to see if amazon sells the beer in bulk, and i was linked to a fake pbr can that was actually a small safe for money and jewelery, and a related product was this belt buckle.
yes, crazy.

friday entertainment

quick laugh.
quick scare.

jurassic park 4 would be worth watching if they included accurate representations of Utahraptors in all of their menacing glory.
for climbing, for killing or for both in the same five minutes, those claws are insane.

more helpful reviews

Reading reviews of software is always helpful. The decision to avoid Grocery List for my phone was made much easier by a small selection of customer reviews.
Some reviewers complained that the software behaves erratically, while others pointed out that it is just a sub par modification of the notepad software standard on the phone.
One review in particular sealed the deal for me:
"needs to have a way to make separate store lists.
one for grocery store and one for hardware store for example.
four stars"
if this software can't help me differentiate between grocery needs and hardware needs, i will definitely avoid it.
until an update is released, i guess i will be stuck inquiring about organic screwdrivers at whole foods and haggling over cheese prices at home depot.

unbiased disgust

i saw the movie 'battlefield earth' in theaters at age 14.
i did not go willingly, so let me explain why i went.
my friend's dad bought us advanced tickets for 'road trip' but when we arrived at the theater with our smuggled candy, we were not allowed in because of the age restriction. we were given tickets to the other movie playing, battlefield earth.
terrible movie, and terrible in the bad way.
at the age of 14, i was unaware of the ridiculousness of scientology, and i still hated the movie.
i was a huge fan of star wars and star trek, and somehow i knew that battlefield earth was completely stupid.

now i know why.

Bring me the stones

(Gary oldman voice)
"bring meh the shtones"

Whiskey stones feel nice and solid, are great for ancient desktop ruins and are just darned cute.
coming soon: a review of their proper use, after a few hours in freezing temperatures and a douse of bourbon or irish.

Subservient quadrupeds

Geordi would be proud.
The canine community would be ashamed.
I simply laugh.

hungry nerds

candy shopping on the internets.
i cannot make this stuff up.
amazon just hands it to me.

unbalanced and loving it

a recent online order demonstrated the following ratio:
shipping : item :: 400 : 1
this product would have cost between $5 & $15 at a physical store.
i await the negative part of online shopping.
don't say 'exercise' or 'identity theft' because those are lame choices.
i ride my bike a minimum of 3km every day, and my desk isn't real wood so i can't knock on it while disputing the second thought.

truth in advertising

thanks, i guess, for exposing your own scheme.
