And to round out the week...

Great... so much for my plans of world domination :(



You're so evil, it's cute.
Aww, you think you're evil? That's adorable. We could just pinch your not-so-evil cheeks and pat your friendly little head. You seem like someone who feels massively guilty if you have even the slightest negative thought. If you were really evil, you'd lie, cheat, and hatch diabolical plans without feeling the slightest hint of remorse. It looks like your conscience is leading you down the "good" path, which is great... unless you're planning to take over the world someday.

Hmmm....

As many of you know, Mobicon is coming up, and Dave and I were kicking around the idea of a Cannonball Run themed room party. The original plan was to rent an RV and park it in the hotel parking lot for the occasion, but then the ever amazing Dizzy managed to book me a room in the hotel (after I had been assured by the front desk guy that there were no rooms available that weekend, not no way, not no how. Dizzy continues to amaze me.) Eliminating our need for the RV. I still want a clever excuse to go ahead and make that Captain Chaos hood and cape I've always wanted though... all seemed lost. Then I came across this on the amazing thing we call the internet:

The Cannonball Run drinking game.

Whenever the sheik's intro music is played - 1 drink

Whenever the Japanese music is played (to introduce Jackie Chan) - 1 drink

Whenever the James Bond movie comes on (to introduce Roger Moore) - 1 drink

Anytime the Doctor's music comes on (the Doctor in the back of the ambulance) - 1 drink

Anytime JJ (Burt Reynolds) does his famous laugh - 1 drink

Whenever Dom Deluise mentions "him" or "he" referring to Captain Chaos - 1 drink.

If Captain Chaos appears - 2 drinks, and the players must sing "Dunh, Dunh, Daaaah!"

Whenever any girl driver lowers her shirt zipper - 1 drink for each girl that does it

Whenever Farrah Fawcett talks about trees - 1 drink

When JJ speaks like Donald Duck - 2 drinks

When Mel Tillis and Terry Bradshaw drive their car into the pool - 1 drink

Anytime Burt Reynolds slaps Dom Deluise (this includes during the closing credits) =- 1 drink per slap

Any car spins out - 1 drink per car

Anytime the Sheik pays someone - 1 drink

Anytime Mel Tillis stutters:

    If Mel Tillis finally gets the correct word out - 1 more drink

    If he has to change is word - 2 drinks

Anytime Mel Tillis and Terry Bradshaw say, are holding or refer to a "Bud" or a "Beer" - 1 drink

Anytime Dean Martin appears with a drink - 1 drink

Anytime the Doctor sprays or injects his needle - 1 drink

Anytime Sammy Davis says "turkeys" - 1 drink

Anytime the 2 Cannonballers on the motorcycle are shown doing Wheelies - 1 drink

Anytime that both Burt Reynolds and Dom Deluise say "Foyt" - 1 drink

Anytime someone is pulled over by a cop - 1 drink

Anytime a new woman appears with Roger Moore in his car - 1 drink

Anytime that Roger Moore stops a woman from pressing a button in the car. - 1 drink.   If the woman presses the button - 2 drinks

When Dom Deluise sings the Dr. Pepper theme - 2 drinks

Anytime you can see Farrah Fawcett's nipples through her shirt - 1 drink

Anytime the Black guy in the pickup truck does an impersonation - 1 drink

When the Lone Ranger theme comes on - 1 drink

During the closing credit bloopers anytime the clicker is clicked - 1 drink.

So, now I'm thinking that we could develop a special drink for shots during this game, call it "the Cannonball Rum" and make up flyers inviting as many people as we can to it, and proceed to rock the hizzy. (Whatever the hell that means) Who's in?

HMMMM....devilish idea forming...

I was goofing off at work (as usual) and came across this clip on youtube. I was facinated by this whole non-newtonian liquid in action...



So, it got me to thinking.... I'm going to a lake in mississippi on a fishing trip with my buddies this weekend... I wonder what the corn starch/water ratio has to be to get this trick of physics to work? Furthermore, would it kill all the fish in the lake? Morally, should said fish be sacrificed just so I can get some footage of Dave running across said lake to put on YouTube? If said fish lived, would they be ticked off because Dave is running past on their roof?

Seriously, though... if any of my physics inclined readers have any idea about the ratio involved, I'd love to know.
