IMDB H@x0r3d again!

Someone's done it again! They hacked the All-Time Worldwide Box office page on IMDB, this time in favor of Dark Knight. Currently, the site is reporting the film made $5,091,106,180.

I'm starting a tag for this: All-Time Worldwide Box office fux0red.

P.S. Xanga's tags are fux0red too. I can't have a tag as long as All-Time Worldwide Box office fux0red. So the link in the tag is truncated. Bastards. I'd complain...but that's what my adoring audience is for.

Serving

The Vice-President is in town today for a fund raiser. Link

I have a friend who works weekends delivering fruit and cakes for a party store. He was called in from his "real job" to deliver a fruit basket to Dick Cheney. My friend is an ardent Democrat.

If you had a chance to meet and serve the Vice-President and you were adamantly opposed to his political views, would you accept the opportunity?

The Rebuttle

IMDB makes a typo

I just sent this letter to IMDB. Until the correction is made, you can view the mistake here.

Hello,

I was checking the numbers for Dark Knight, but according to the All-Time Worldwide Box office page, the 2008 movie Get Smart has made more money than Dark Knight--$1,003,064,785 according to the website. There hasn't been any news articles that Get Smart has made this much money. I'm sure that it's a great film, but surely this is a typo.

I am adding a link to boxofficeguru.com to help with the numbers:

Please look into this issue. Additionally, it would be a classy touch to report this error and retraction in your RSS feed.

Thanks,
Professor Tom

Two Weeks Late

I've been craving pot pies for the past good while now and I don't know why. I've satisfied that craving via Col. Sander's, Marie Currie, Stover's and Jason's Deli, but the craving has subsided.

Several months ago, I won $15 in gift certificates to Schwan's in a drawing at work. I have never ordered from them before and reading over the literature did not make it clear if I could order over the internet without first setting up an account with the local rep.

Our Schwan's guy quit, so we got a new one. Two weeks ago, I decided I'd cash in on the gift certificates. I order a single box of turkey pot pies. My understanding was that the pies would arrive this week, so when I left two weeks ago I thought "I'll go on vacation and then the pies will come."

This was not to be the case.

The Schwan's man came around today and asked if I would like to order this week. I declined and asked him if my pies were on the truck this week. He said, "no, I left them here last time when you ordered."

"Well that's odd" I thought and went off to check the freezer.

We have on of those beer cooler type freezers with the lid on top, much like you'd see someone put beef or venison in to keep it for after the close of hunting season. I dug and dug but couldn't find my pies. Several of the bags had people's names on them, but there wasn't a bag that had a single box that was pot pies. Even whester helped me look, but to no avail.

Finally, I found a bag that belonged to someone else that had a box of pot pies. I went and asked her if she had order pot pies herself. "No." she said. "Go ahead and take them. They aren't mine."

When I went back and pulled the box out, my name was on the front.

The whole time I could have had my pot pies for lunch, working through to get more accomplished...like I planned to do next week.
