So apparently you can't model every business after netflix, and espescially not one with sex toys.

Fireworks, and stuff
So last night were the Grosse Pointe Fireworks, always fun, but they don't allow alcohol. Learned how to play a fun new game, and was astonished that Mike almost won a spelling game! (No offense dude, but I have been on your cranium team a few times to know that spelling is your kryptonite) Can't complain there was good food, good friends and good times. We had some fun too with other things, espescially the cameras, and Mike's fascination with feet pictures. Also we learned about a Family Pretzel competition that became a disgusting conversation quickly, so heres some videos from the fireworks (Screw you fireworks are not just for kids!)

Neat way to learn about Photoshop
You Suck at Photoshop is a fun little web series/tutorial about photoshop. The show is now in it's second season. Check out the show here. (Photoshop is an awesome program, but a pain in the ass to learn.)Side note: I have made no commitment for posting 30 consecutive days but I will try to finish what was started. The baton has been passed and I will try to do this. So don't be surprised if I keep posting crap like this.

Flash Floods Suck
So yesterday we got over 3 inches of rain in about an hour, the only problem is that it has to go somewhere. But it really went nowhere for a while, and strangely enough my first reaction was to take pictures, which you can see by clicking on my flickr widget on the right side of my page. So yes the library had a lake in front of it, and many basements in Hamtramck started to flood.

On another note, apparently when its girls night out, it also means The guys down here are going to do something a little gay. First time Girls night out, they went to the bar, we went to see a playing of Dvorak's 9th symphony at the DSO. Last night girls went out, we went to see a concert and the art at the DIA.(check out the gem of a painting in the contemporary art section) But to make up for this we always end the night at a bar so that's OK right? And yes the new bar at Wayne State is actually pretty good, and great cheap beer: $9.00 for a pitcher of Magic hat, or $2.25/pint. I like these prices, just too bad that the owners didn't think they needed to turn the air conditioning on, when its nice and humid outside.

Someone Explain this
What a brilliant Idea, why didn't I think of that. Oh right because I still have two brain cells and no death wish. Hey billy-bob we can run the griddle in the kiddie pool, great idea but what about the water? NO prob, I got sandals that float.

Wow, it's like someone has already lived my life
SO I ordered a book for the library called Quiet Please by Scott Douglas, and dammit it's like reading what I'm doing and most likely going to do. So he starts to work at a library out of convenience, and was good with computers and goes on to library school. He's not sure if he wants to go or not, or if he's only doing it because it's free for him, but ends up liking the job. He meets many interesting and/or crazy people at the library.He reveals in the first page of the book what many librarians sadly believe about library pages, the bottom of the rung on the employee ladder, that is you are stupid until proven otherwise. Why in the world is it when I talk to someone in High School or College, that I talk to them as if they were in Kindergarten, and then go check to make sure they did everything like they were supposed to, I could have done it in half the time and never check, but that would put me back to the bottom rung, so I think they are there to make everyone else feel better and to make sure that no one else has to do menial work. Back to the book its a great book and fun to read, at least for me, check it out on Amazon here, or check, out the author's page here.
Speaking of interesting people, a man I presumed to be dead has reappeared at the library, he is a fun man to talk to not because he is mostly deaf and screams at you, but because he is apparently the smartest man in the world who can make anything, and invented everything. Too bad those bastards keep stealing his ideas and he gets no credit. From a few conversations I learned he invented the satellite, space shuttle, microwave, computer, transistor, microchip, possibly a water powered engine. To let you know how to find this out a conversation usually goes like this:
Man: "Can I make copies here?"
Me: "Yes the copier is over there"
Man: "Oh, Good, did you know that I invented the copier years ago, and that they stole the idea from me?"
Me: "who are they?"
Man: "you know"
Me: [sarcasm]"Yes"[/sarcasm]
The conversation goes on like this forever, the only problem is I want to give this man a tic-tac but have none, and by the time he's done talking to me just about everyone at the library is looking at me, to see what the hell is going on.

Wow its hard to post something on a boring day...
Going back to the post about Whore Scores, I have seen the ultimate tramp stamp, the one to end all tramp stamps and automatically gives the bearer of the stamp 50 freakin whore points. Yes she is the ultimate whore, and I think she might be proud. Check out the stamp here, at first it looks harmless but look again, and revel in its hidden vulgarity.
And yes mike I did see that the video was a fake, but in my attempt to try and post something that one might find deemable to watch I did not take the time to further investigate if the video was real or not. I must truly apologize for my mistake and will vow to research/investigate future posts, as to avoid the embarassment caused by this sham of a baseball catch. If I have led you to believe that the video was real and can be done I am wholeheartedly sorry for this and hope it does not crush your awesome baseball catching dreams. I will now follow the rules of roosterteeth productions as seen in the Red vs Blue PSA:

And to bring up another old post about Dubai they are now going to build a rotating skyscraper, so you can get different views from your apartment.
Now why do gas prices keep going up, I seem to be trying to connect the dots in my head of what could possibly be justifying these high prices.
