| This is the greatest commercial ever made, in my opinion, but it only airs in the UK. Read the info below before clicking on the link at the bottom. Very cool sequence of events, leaves you shocked and amazed. The part that surprises me the most is the tires knocking into each other when rolling UP the ramp...thats craazy. Anyways, check it outt... Subject: Honda Ad Date: Mon, 3 Apr 2006 14:21:31 -0700 You gotta see this ad. Subject: Honda Commercial Read the info first, then watch the clip. And you thought those people that set up roomfuls of dominos to knock over were amazing. There are no computer graphics or digital tricks in the film. Everything you see really happened in real time exactly as you see it.The film took 606 takes. (Holy cow!) On the first 605 takes, something,usually very minor, didn't work. They would then have to set the whole thing up again. The crew spent weeks shooting night and day. By the time it was over, they were ready to change professions. (It's surprising they kept their sanity!) The film cost six million dollars and took three months to complete.(Wow!) including full engineering of the sequence. In addition, it's two minutes long so every time Honda airs the film on British television, they're shelling out enough dough to keep any one of us in clover for a lifetime. However, it is fast becoming the most downloaded advertisement in Internet history. (It's easy to see why!) Honda executives figure the ad will soon pay for itself simply in "free viewings" (Honda isn't paying a dime to have you watch this commercial!). (That's clever!) When the ad was pitched to senior executives, they signed off on it immediately without any hesitation - including the costs. There are six and only six hand-made Honda Accords in the world. To the horror of Honda engineers, the filmmakers disassembled two of them to make the film. (That's beyond belief. This project was far beyond the genius of Swiss watches!) Everything you see in the film (aside from the walls, floor, ramp, and complete Honda Accord) is parts from those two cars. The voiceover is Garrison Keillor. When the ad was shown to Honda executives, they liked it and commented on how amazing computer graphics have gotten. They fell off their chairs when they found out it was for real. Oh, and about those funky windshield wipers. On the new Accords, the windshield wipers have water sensors and are designed to start doing their thing automatically as soon as they become wet.

| hey guys, heres another random update but i wanted yall to check out these darwin awards for 2005. its pretty dam hilarious, or atleast i think so...
A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago, returned with his Vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.
After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.
An American teenager was in the hospital recovering from serious head wounds received from an oncoming train. When asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police that he was simply trying to see how close he could get his head to a moving train before he was hit.
A man walked into a Louisiana store, put a $20 bill on the counter, and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer...$15. (If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, is a crime committed?)
And my favorite:
The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan, at 5 a.m., flashed a gun, and demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn't open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren't available for breakfast . The man, frustrated, walked away.
until next year..err..i mean until next time...peace  | | |
| I am updating my xanga because of some friends of mine who actually READ THIS CRAP. lol sike lemme start by saying I hate my job. It is very boring, time consuming, and a pain in the ass. I work at Rite Aid as a pharmacy technician, and I am definitely interested in pursuing a career in pharmacy. However, the tasks that I do make it seem like there is no joy or pride in doing my work. But maybe its because there are a certain number of customers who weren't taught any manners when they were young, or are so ghetto I can't understand a single word coming out of their mouths, or just have multiple PMS attacks (yes men included). They yell and whine and raise their voices at me when I simply explain the right reasons for their complaints. Yet, I have to take all their shit and just listen, and at the end of it all, smile, say "Im sorry, Have a nice day."
But then again, maybe I am being too judgmental and hasty in describing how my job is. It's only been about a month and a half, and there may be more exciting and prosperous times in the near future. Pharmacy is a very demanding field nowadays and I am really hoping that through hard work and dedication, I will be successful in my studies and Insha-Allah (God-willing) do well on my upcoming PCATS.
I think I have rambled enough for the day. This was a pretty serious post for me so let me lighten up your moods with my joke of the week:
A girl asks her boyfriend to come over Friday night and have dinner with her parents. This being a big event, the girl tells her boyfriend that after dinner, she would like to go out and "do it" for the first time. Well, the boy is ecstatic, but he has never done it before, so he takes a trip to the pharmacist to get some protection. The pharmacist helps the boy for about an hour. He tells the boy everything there is to know about protection and doing it. At the register, the pharmacist asks the boy how many he'd like to buy; a 3-pack, a 10-pack, or a family pack. The boy insists on the family pack because he thinks he will be very busy, it being his first time and all.
That night, the boy shows up at the girl's parent's house and meets his girlfriend at the door. "Oh I'm so excited for you to meet my parents, come on in." The boy goes inside and is taken to the dinner table where the girl's parents are seated. The boy quickly offers to say grace and bows his head. A minute passes, and the boy still deep in prayer with his head down. Ten minutes pass and still no movement from the boy. Finally, after 20 minutes with his head down, the girlfriend leans over and whispers to her boyfriend, "I had no idea you were so religious."
The boy turns and whispers back, "I had no idea your father was a pharmacist." | | |

George: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N. Condi: Kofi. George: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone. (Condi picks up the phone.) Condi: Rice, here. George: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we should send some to the guy in China. And the Middle East. Can you get Chinese food in the Middle East? | | |
