Speaking of MapQuest

If you’re looking for directions to Ozark Mountain Resort in Montana, you may want to ask at the gas station attendant instead of heading to your computer.
MapQuest provides people will clear, concise directions to the home of Tish and Lyle Ashley, on the wrong side of a lake from the resort. Better yet, the access is very narrow and can be tough for trailers to turn around.

Still Chile, it could be much worse–it could’ve been a mistake by MapQuest. And really, who wants to be located in a volcano these days, huh?

The man responsible for pushing abstinence as part of U.S. foreign aid programs resigned last week, because of something to do with hookers. And him.
It’s probably just a coincidence. And not hypocrisy in the slightest. Totally.

Years ago, we won the war on pop-up ads, for the most part. Before long, people were downloading Google or Yahoo! or whatever toolbars for their browsers. The ads were blocked and the world went about its Internet surfing in peace.
However, there are new threats to the shaky truce we have. The worst of such threats is possibly those high-quality ads with movies in them. One can find them on CNN.com sometimes or on MySpace.com on log in and log out. The MySpace ones are the worst.
When you log out, an ad from True or some other dating service comes up. They are usually girls at laptop computers, looking like they want to chat with you. They type, they laugh, they take off their hooded sweatshirts–and it’s all webcam quality or better. I assume when girls log out from the site, they have musclebound guys winking at them.
These things creep me out. Firstly, because they make me think that these girls can really see me. Secondly, they are terrible actresses. A few of these ads even start off with a close-up on some girl’s butt or cleavage. Above it, it says “it’s not OK to stare.” Then the camera pans back and the girl gets angry with you for looking at the goods.
Since when did the Internet try to make us feel creepy? Sure, we stalk people on social networking sites, but we choose to. This is something totally different and must be stopped.

Over a year ago, I reviewed Kill Bill, Vol. 1 for the very first ever MasterChugs Theater (which you can read here). Clearly I had at least some fun with doing that as I’m now on MCT edition 26. With that said, I figured that I should review its second eventually, and I’m going to open up this review with an absolutely stunning statement: the second part of Quentin Tarantino’s roaring rampage of revenge, a “western” to the first film’s “eastern”, Kill Bill Vol 2 will split QT’s fans as surely as a Hanzo sword.
And by “stunning statement”, I mean “horrible pun that manages to kill at least 8 third world nations.”

In cheating, the next generation of technology is here. Before, it was graphing calculators, before that, it was writing answers on your shoes.
Now, iPods are the method of choice. Apparently, kids are recording answers on their iPods and then playing them back in class. But doesn’t the fact that they are researching and recording answers mean they’re studying?
Besides, if they were really smart, they would load the answers into their iPods and text files.

Ever wanted to experience weightlessness? You can! All you have to do is shell out $3,750–and who doesn’t have that lying around? However, if you’re a poor, world-renowned physicist and Cambridge professor like Stephen Hawking, you get to ride for free.

Mixed news announced today in the world of teenagers and other unemployable types, first off, the THC content in marijuana is much stronger than in was even three years ago.

Unlike other blogs, we at SeriouslyGuys have no illusions about the impending threat from zombies. They want to eat our brains, they refuse to get jobs and even ran for office in last fall’s election.
However, now these zombies have sunk to a new low: they are attempting to fleece the federal government of Medicare its funds. The undead don’t need medical treatment, all they need is a shotgun blast to the head.
