Legacy Locker – In Case of Emergency

A friend of mine recently visited his parents and they had “the talk” with him.

The Talk consisted of who the accountant was, what the lawyer’s contact info was, where copies of all the Important Documents were, and so on. Just In Case something were to happen.

The parents were thorough – every month they sent a CD backup to the safe deposit box with electronic copies of vital accounts, usernames, and passwords that would be needed In Case Of Emergency.

LEGACY LOCKER is a bit like that emergency backup CD, except that all that important information is stored online.  Their marketing material says that “Legacy Locker is a safe, secure repository for your digital property that lets you grant access to online assets for friends and loved ones in the event of death or disability.”

The College Humor Prank War

The guys over at COLLEGE HUMOR have had a lot of fun at each others’ expense over the years by pranking each other.

To date, there have been seven classic pranks, each one escalating in over-the-topness from the previous one.   Let’s take a look at where it started, and where it has led to so far.  Some things that you can take from the following videos are:

  • having a sense of humor is required if you work for a website called College Humor
  • don’t get into a prank war with people who are funnier and more creative than you are, who also have a seemingly unlimited amount of money and friends to assist them

Why Fat Women Are Better

The guy-oriented cable channel SPIKE TV has put out their A-to-Z GUIDE FOR CHASING PLUS-SIZED CHICKS, and why the larger ladies are worth having.  Yup, all 26 letters are accounted for.  I’ve selected a few here to entice you – check the link for the full alphabet.

B is for Business Class
When you date a big girl, your days of flying coach are over.

E is for Easier
Chances are, the reason why you’re chasing larger chicks is because it’s usually easier to snag one, and they are oh-so-grateful.

H is for Hot Friend
Girls with a few extra pounds almost always have hot female friends.

K is for King-Sized Bed
A larger lady needs a larger bed.

N is for Never Say Never
You have to try most things at least once, so don’t knock being with a big girl until you’ve tried it, and don’t hate on guys that do.

Q is for Quantity over Quality
It’s like a buffet. The quality of food is terrible, but you can eat as much as you like and leave very satisfied.

Michael Jackson Auction Update

Remember the post we had a while ago about the upcoming MICHAEL JACKSON AUCTION?

The AP is reporting that maybe things aren’t exactly as rosy as they appear, and the auction may not happen after all, as Michael Jackson’s production company, MJJ Productions, is suing Julien’s Auction House.

The lawsuit claims that while they did ask the auction company to remove all those items that appear in the auction catalog from the Neverland Ranch, but claims that they did not give blanket authorization to sell the items without Michael Jackson’s permission on each one.

Some of the “priceless and irreplaceable” items were requested to be returned, which the auction company did.  No word yet on exactly which items are being removed from the auction due to the lawsuit, or how much of the auction is going to continue as previously planned.

Napoleon Dynamite’s Guide to Social Networking

Seth Simonds has compiled the NAPOLEON DYNAMITE GUIDE TO SOCIAL NETWORKING, because let’s face it — anyone who is a new user to Facebook, MySpace, bulletin board discussion groups, business networking events, speed dating, or any other forced social intermingling activity really needs a hand to break through the pre-established cliques and get away from being that awkward wallflower to become a true contributer to the situation.

And who knows, maybe you’ll meet someone and get a date out of it. 

The first three rules are:

  1. Give, like, creative and real compliments.
  2. Don’t let other people take up all your time or space or eat all your steak.
  3. Put your connections to work for others so they get sweet stuff, too.

Take a look at Seth’s article for the other two examples and how Napoleon Dynamite applies to the points he is making.

The whole piece should really be subtitled, “EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT HOW TO SUCCEED IN SOCIAL NETWORKING I LEARNED FROM NAPOLEAN DYNAMITE”. 

Don’t know if Seth will take my suggestion though.  Maybe if I offer to draw him a liger, he’ll consider it.

Wikipedia Band Name / Album Generator

The latest meme to spread across the Internet is USING WIKIPEDIA TO NAME YOUR BAND’S FIRST ALBUM

It’s a three-part process as you discover the name of your band, the name of the album, and the album cover art.

  1. Click on Wikipedia’s “Display Random Page” link.  The page title that is displayed is the name of your band
  2. Go to Random Quotations and view a set of random quotes.  The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the name of your album.
  3. Visit Flickr’s list of uploads from the last 7 days. The third picture displayed is the picture to use on your album cover.

Here is an example:

Humberstone Road Railway Station
