Very nice, Kil. Surpasses anything I've done. Maybe when the kids are gone and carving becomes an optional hobby vs a mandated chore, I'll try to be more creative.

I expend my creativity on xmas lights each year. I've had to skip years though cause it, too, became a chore instead of fun.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I thought my Dark Lord of the Sith could protect a small thermal exhaust port that's only 2-meters wide! That thing wasn't even fully paid off yet! You have any idea what this is going to do to my credit?!?!"

"What? Oh, oh, 'just rebuild it'? Oh, real [bleep]ing original. And who's gonna give me a loan, jackhole? You? You got an ATM on that torso LiteBrite?"

Ohshit.. according to this post on 4chan bout what wilhappenon the date:

So what exactly happens on the 28th?

We all get some big consciousness download and everythings happytime or someshit?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's not going to happen overnight. It will be a process leading to Nov. 11th.

Also, aside from the mainstream media reporting on crafts in the sky (which won't be real by the way) you aren't going to notice much at first.

Again, present commentary or what you think it means plus evidence, Google bomber.

Otherwise, you will not be taken seriously.

Even more importantly, pumpkins breed via live birth!

Oct 28... Halloween... pumpkins...

Coincidence? I think not.

Does anyone else hate the word "utilize"? What's the matter with a simple "use"?

"Utilize" just seems like word that MBAs use to make themselves seem oh-so-important.

Me: I use toilet paper.

MBA: I utilized toilet paper in order to create whole new paradigm and achieve synergy.

Hmmm... Maybe I'll go to that and check out the exhibits. That's the only part that's free. (Because they are selling shit at the exhibits.) They are even charging for the live streaming. (Something I have never heard of before. No skeptic event has charged for that.) And the tickets to the talks are expensive. But I guess they will need lots of money when the change happens.


VIP 3 DAYS TICKET ALCHEMY EVENT NOV 11-12-13, 2011 FULL EVENT INCLUDES BANQUET LUNCH AT GEORGE NOORY AND ON SUNDAY KEVIN SMITH TABLE, FRONT ROW SEATS, FULL DVD SET OF THE EVENT, BUSINESS PROMOTION more info Nov 9, 2011 $799.00


Holy crap! That's more expensive than TAM's special passes! Almost twice as much! But you get to have lunch with woo and conspiracy pusher, George Noory!

There are less expensive packages. But considering that it's only a three day event, and breakfast and lunch is not included, it's still more expensive than TAM's regular all access pass.

Welcome to the quickening. Welcome to enlightenment! All major credit cards accepted.



Honestly. I will probably go to this. I just love to tap on the glass...

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

That is my #1 business-speak peeve of all time.

It's like nails on a chalkboard. Some guy was just on NPR (he wasn't even an MBA!) talking about drones and utilize was every third word, or so it seemed.

A lot of people listened to the head of Heaven's Gate when he said God's spaceship was hiding in the tail of comet Hale-Bopp.

They ended up dead.

It's trendy with conspiracy theorists, there's vast money to be made considering that people who believe in woo are frequently seperated from their money ala P. T. Barnum.

Argumentum ad populum.

Present what you think with evidence. Do your homework, I will not do it for you.

What app will be utilized for this download? I assume I will need a firmware update.

Already backing off the Oct 28th date, aren't you? Two days away... Tick tick tick tick...

When nothing happens on either date, please don't go away. You're way too fun to laugh at.

Duh, it's the Friday before Halloween. Optimal time for parties and weekend conferences. Getting blitzed on Halloween itself is tough if you've gotta work on Tuesday.

I wonder if Marble Hornets had anything going for 10/28...

ETA: holy cow! I didn't know Jay started posting more entries last November. He "reveals that he has no recollection of the past 7 months, and now he is in a hotel with a camera strapped to his chest." Spooky!
