If a baby were President there would be no taxes, there would be no war, there would be no government, and things could get terrible. It would actually be a better screenplay idea than a suggestion. Michael Scott; Dunder Mifflin
Still going on about the election, I see.
I needed an Office quote for tonight, and this Scottism from a recent episode seemed to fit the bill. It started out so innocently and positive...then turned somber...and finally went right back to Michael's dream of being a screenplay writer. I believe the hero secret service agent would be Agent Michael Scarn...played by Michael Scott.
Alright...so that's that. What else is good?
Good is a relative term. There's a relatively new Interwebz meme going around where people rewrite song lyrics to quite literally describe what's happening in the video. Often, they make light of strange locations, clothes, and the art direction of the video. It's not all that amusing, to be perfectly honest...but when somebody Rickrolled the Literal Video concept, I felt it needed to be shared. Enjoy!

So you want me to give you up?
“Don’t Rick-Roll my wedding.” - My Sister
That wouldn't be very nice...how would you go about that anyway?
So, first of all, I'd like to congratulate my sister and her former fiancee, now husband, on their wedding this past weekend.
Probably the only quirk of the wedding reception was the addition of karaoke. My sister and some of her friends sing karaoke in various places on occasion, and she thought it would be fun to have a couple people do their own singing towards the end of the reception. All in all, it worked out quite well. Prior to the wedding, we're all sitting around at home discussing the upcoming activities, and I commented that it would be amusing for somebody to sing "Never Gonna Give You Up," effectively Rick Rolling the reception. I was told in no uncertain terms that I was not to do this.
And then you did?
I most certainly did not! It didn't happen, and for some reason, it became my fault that it didn't...at least in the eyes of several of the bridesmaids.
So what did you sing?
I sang nothing. I take a certain measure of pride in being able to say that I've never sung karaoke...in this hemisphere.
Alright then...so elsewhere in the news this morning...
McDonald's is running a singing contest of their own. Too low on cash, apparently, to hire their own jingle producer, they're sponsoring a contest, hosted on A "Myspace" Page (Yes, it's real...the McDonald's corporate website links to the Myspace) to come up with the new Big Mac jingle. They call it a chant, but okay. The winner gets their jingle on MTV. OOOoooo.
Not quite as lame as some of the prizes you give away on the Blag, I guess.
Here's the rub. One of the 5 finalists in the contest served 12 years in prison, for....wait for it....Robbing A McDonald's! Good job everyone!

Copyright laws suck
001100010010011110100001101101110011
That's a lot of ones and zeros. Taken to speaking in binary, have you?
Not as such. Today's Sametime Status is the "Time Code" from the Futurama movie, "Bender's Big Score." There's actually a pattern to it, which doesn't quite come off in straight numerical form, but if you look at it at displayed in the movie, it's a little more easily seen:
If you look at the first three columns, and read them left to right, then top to bottom, they translate to the numbers 1-6. The 4th through 6th columns are simply a mirror image of the first three. This, my friends, is the secret to Time Travel.
So much for the Flux Capacitor.
So at this point, I was going to share with all of you the Trinity War song from the movie, since it's one of the best parts. I was also going to point out the not-so-coincidental use of a Tie Fighter by the Chanukah Zombie. That's only funny because that character's voice is supplied by none other than Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill.
However, that video was removed from youtube yesterday, so it won't do you a whole lot of good. There is, however, an Audio-only showing of it up on Youtube now.
Here's a Link To That If You're Interested. It's not quite the same, and I promise it's not a Rick Roll, so go ahead and enjoy it. Happy Friday, everybody!

You'll regret reading this
How did the basketball find his way to the hoop? He was tipped off.
That's...well that's just not even good.
Sorry...that's what you get when I'm making up jokes at 8AM.
We're going to get emails.
So we'll give the people what they want! Perhaps you read Jim's Comment on yesterday's blag about a basketball game that got Rick Rolled. Well, here's another real-life Rick Rolling. Enjoy!
Why exactly is Rick Rolling funny again?
Actually, I have no idea. So, I'd like to take this opportunity...
Nobody's reading anymore. They gave up on today's post long ago.
...to introduce to you another blog out there on the inter-tubez, since you obviously don't have enough to do. Please welcome back to the Blago-web Jeff, with his musings, I Am Trying to Steal the Sun. Good luck, Jeff!

Most days, actually
Some days, I wish stupid was painful.
I completely agree.
...uhh...okay then.
So I understand there's a full Blag today?
Yes...we've got some stupidity, and an explanation for one of yesterday's items.
I hope it's an explanation for the Rick Astley video.
As a matter of fact, it is. There is a concept called "Rickrolling" in which people reading websites or message boards are tricked into watching the video of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up." Those of you loyal readers who clicked all the links in yesterday's Blag were given such treatment. There are other Internet items that people are often tricked into viewing, with the lure of something that they actually want to see. Most of these are significantly less family-friendly than Mr. Astley, so I won't be posting those here. If you'd like to know more, please contact your local search engine...just don't do it at work.
I've heard of a couple of these...they sound pretty awful.
That's what I'm told, but I would have no idea about that sort of thing.
So...how about the stupidity?
Right! So Jeff Foxworthy has now stooped to being a game show host. He has a show called "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?" which I've never watched, but I'm reasonably sure it would make my head hurt. I don't think it can be quite as bad as an older game show called "Street Smarts," where one episode saw 2 out of 3 people get the wrong answer to the question, "What color is the exterior of the White House?" but based on a recent incident, I'm not so sure. They had a celebrity episode on "5th Grader," and the day's contestant was country singer Kellie Pickler. What followed was a travesty.
Ouch.
Yeah...that's pretty rough. Fortunately, all loyal readers of this Blag are much smarter than that.
I completely agree.

Words of Wisdom from Bucky
"When you live in an apartment building, even reaching up for the heavens can land you in a toilet." - Bucky Katt
Who is Bucky Katt?
Bucky is the star of the whimsical comic strip Get Fuzzy. He's an egotistical control freak of a Siamese Cat who spends his time conning his roommates out of money, causing general havoc, and trying to eat a monkey. His roommates are Satchel Pooch, a dog of some sort who's a bit lacking in the brains department, but is genuinely good natured, and Rob, their owner who puts up with Bucky's antics better than you might expect. A while ago, Bucky went through a phase where he would speak only in quotable phrases...so I quoted him here.
By the way, there's this online video you just HAVE to see...
Yeah, about that. Somehow, word got around that I might be a bit of a hockey fan. Not sure how these things get started, but there it is. So, when a Youtube/CNN/Yahoo/Google/MSN video of a Zamboni on fire made its way onto the Internet, roughly 1/3 of the earth's population had the same reaction: "I need to send this to Jeremy!"
Yes, it's pretty safe to say I've seen the video of the Zamboni on fire once or twice.
It's not that I don't want people sending me Youtube Links, but enough with the flaming Zamboni!
Actually, what's only slightly interesting about the Zamboni fire is that I've been to that rink. This particular incident occurred at the Ice Works Skating Complex in Aston, PA...home of the Neumann College Knights. Back when RIT played NCAA DIII hockey, we would play against Neumann quite often. However, RIT moved their hockey program up to DI, depriving everyone of their opportunity to say, "Hello Neumann."
