Survey: Would You Wear Your Spouse’s Dirty Underwear?

Post author By web gangsta
Post date June 18, 2009

Travelling across the country is usually no big deal. You check your luggage, get on the plane, and then collect your luggage at your destination before heading out for fun and adventure.

Unless the airline’s luggage handlers miss getting your bags from the first plane to your connecting flight due to a short turnaround. Then you’re screwed, and end up spending the next day trying to figure out what to wear while you are waiting for your misguided luggage to finally show up at your hotel.

Savvy travellers will know that this can happen, and take special precautions to address such a situation — such as packing an extra pair of underpants in their carry-on luggage.

The problem that arises is when your travelling companion is not quite as travel savvy as you are, and has not done the same.

Disney: Official Unofficial Rules for Beers Around The World at Epcot

4 Comments on Disney: Official Unofficial Rules for Beers Around The World at Epcot

A few friends of mine think that Epcot is the best thing at Walt Disney World. There are quite a few people who agree with that belief, such as the folks at EPCOT CENTRAL, all for their own reasons. I can’t say that I disagree with them, as Epcot can be underrated by park visitors. Ask any person who dislikes Epcot and they often say the same things:

“There’s nothing to do there.”
“It’s boring.”
“Why do I have to walk so far?”

Epcot is an immersive environment, with surprises and treats around every corner, if you would only bother to look. But that’s a different topic for a different day.

For those Epcot naysayers out there – I say that if you don’t like where you are, sometimes it’s because you aren’t creative enough to make your own fun.

Today, I will provide you with something to do after you have seen all that Epcot has to offer – courtesy in part from my creative Epcot-loving friends, and in part by today’s website, DRINK AROUND THE WORLD.

A Product Ahead Of Its Time: The Comfort Wipe

Apparently, for hundreds of years we’ve been handling toilet paper the incorrect way – with our hands. This is something those folks in India and other countries that don’t have sewage systems that can handle paper have known for years.

But that’s okay, since there is a solution: The COMFORT WIPE.

Hey Buddy – Want to Buy a Used MP3?

Post author By web gangsta
Post date June 14, 2009

Now that a new iPhone is available, isn’t it time for you to go out and grab some nice shiny new MP3 files to use on the new iPhone? You don’t want to use your old dingy files, you prefer that “new MP3” smell when the songs come fresh out of the store.

But the problem is that now you have a huge pile of MP3 files that you never listen to anymore, just gathering dust. You’ve paid good money for them over at the iTunes or Amazon stores, and you’re not going to just throw them away.

What do you do?

Come Jump On The Bed With Me

Post author By web gangsta
Post date June 13, 2009

The best thing about checking into some of the newer, higher-end hotels is that they really are promoting their “high-thread count linens” or “superior mattresses” (which some hotels will even sell to you at the end of your stay, if you absolutely loved your mattress so much that you just had to take it home with you).

The Radisson chain, for example, is promoting that they have the SLEEPNUMBER bed. The last time I stayed at a Radisson, I didn’t find the SleepNumber Bed that remarkable, especially since the maid had lodged the controller between the bedframe and the headboard amongst all the evil hotel room dustbunnies that never seem to get vacuumed up.

Ew.

Perhaps if I had tried the bed at the SleepNumber store at the mall, like everyone else does, I would have had a better night’s sleep.

Twitter Users are a Bunch of Quitters… and other Twitter Usage Statistics

Post author By web gangsta
Post date June 12, 2009

A report came out this week about Twitter, regarding how users new to Twitter use the service, a STATE OF THE TWITTERSPHERE, if you will.

In short, the conclusion is that the vast majority of Twitter accounts are inactive at best. Some users sign in and tweet just once, resulting in an “ORPHAN TWEET“. If you happen to run across one yourself, feel free to retweet it with the #orphantweet hashtag.

The bigger question, however, is how prevelant are these orphan tweets? Consider this: as in real-life, so goes Twitter: the top 10% of the most active Twitter users account for over 90% of the overall Twitter traffic.

Movie Review: The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3

Post author By web gangsta
Post date June 12, 2009

Rated: R for violence, language, and suspense

Rating: B-

THE TAKING OF PELHAM 1 2 3 is based on the book of the same name that also spawned a film from the mid 70’s starring Walter Matthau and a television movie starring Edward James Olmos. So at least you know that the source material is pretty solid going into this.
