I am here at the church literally waiting for a 2 minute video to render… taking about 20 minutes so far. I found this on Think Christian, it’s self-explanatory and it’s, well… en fuego.

As Dave mentioned, I’m hooked on the "Will it blend?" commercials. From a marketing perspective think of the brilliance of a simple, good idea. Tom Dickson has become a bit of a cultural icon and at the same time the BlendTec blender name has become synonomous with "industrial quality blenders." When it comes to blenders, Tom Dickson is a pimp. And they’ve garnered all of this free advertising with very low budget, simple videos. Hats off to them! There may not be a better example of the power of viral marketing than "Will it Blend?"

Enough mumbo jumbo, here’s my new favorite for Valentines Day

Did I hear correctly? Did Bob really say during the message "Joseph had his feet kicked up like Pastor Adam, feet on the desk, telling people what to do?"

Yes, I think he did. And with me filling in for him on February 25th… that’s a lot of time to come up with something real nice. Muhahaha!

This has to be one of the funniest cases of grand theft auto ever recorded. So good that there weren’t any charges pressed at all. Although stealing a 1989 Toyota Camry could hardly be listed as "grand" theft. More like "did you a favor" theft.

Woman’s Key Works in Wrong Car

ATHENS, Ohio (Feb. 6) – A college student who reported that his car
was stolen got a surprise when he learned a woman had mistaken it
for her daughter’s car and taken it — using her key.

Kate Anderson of Athens became an accidental car thief when she
went to pick up her daughter’s car near an Ohio University building
last week. Anderson spotted the nickel-gray Toyota Camry and used
her daughter’s key to unlock the car, start the engine and drive
home- without realizing that the car wasn’t her daughter’s. Read the rest

The first thing I thought of when I read this story was my 1987 Chevy Corsica. With that car, you didn’t even need a key to start it. You just turned the ignition and the car started. With the Corsica I think the key hole in the ignition was just a place to store your keys as I remember multiple times driving down the road and hitting a bump, only to have the keys land on the floorboard.

HT to Sallyb for the story.

I’ve long practiced this, glad to finally get a third party to verify that I’m not alone. When you go to a movie with a guy friend, if there are many empty seats the two of you leave a space in the middle. I always called that the "gay buffer." Oddly enough, students in Light Force have extended that to just about any social situation… but let me be clear, the gay buffer is only for movie theaters and similar situations. Sitting next to another guy in a full van is no big deal.

This appeared as the urban dictionary word of the day:

   

I’m not gay seat: The empty seat in a movie theater that two males leave between them to show the rest of the audience that they are straight.           Bob: I went to a movie with John the other day but we left the I’m not gay seat, so no one thought it was weird.

So, there you have it.

Something tells me this little skill isn’t helping with the ladies.
