Co-ed Baby shower
Sunday, February 22nd, 2004Idiot of the Month
Friday, February 20th, 2004ALBANY, N.Y. (Reuters) – Andre Gainey found out the hard way that in the state of New York it’s illegal to drive while watching porn.
Police said the 35-year old man from Clifton Park, New York, was watching a adult movie called “Chocolate Foam” on Tuesday night while driving his Mercedes Benz in the town of Schenectady when he was spotted by an officer at a stop light.
Police spokesman Pete Frizoni said detectives pulled Gainey over when they saw the movie playing on screens embedded in the car’s headrests. When they confronted him, they saw another screen in the passenger-side visor was facing Gainey, allowing him to watch the movie while driving.
The case is thought to be the first of its kind in New York, said Joe Pichi, a spokesman for the for the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles.
“Our biggest problem is illegal cell phone use while driving,” Pichi said. “Drivers should be driving.”
Gainey was charged with a public display of offensive material, driving with a suspended license and driving while watching a television. He compounded his legal woes by giving a false name when he was fingerprinted, prompting police to add a charge of forgery.
He is scheduled to appear in court on March 17.
MS Windows Trick
Thursday, February 19th, 2004Start->Shutdown, then while holding CTRL-ALT-SHIFT, left click on CANCEL. This will kill Windows Explorer, leaving a system where you can only access the last application you used. Great for Internet Caffee’s and libraries, since you cannot access the TaskBar, StartMenu, Desktop or anything else. Reminds me of BeOS without Tracker/Deskbar.
Unless you have a terminal open (or a scheduled wake up task), you wont be able to restart explorer, hence you’ll be forced to reboot afterwards. But that doesn’t stop 50% of windows geeks from trying…

Romantic Poems
Thursday, February 12th, 2004These are entries to a Washington Post competition
asking for a rhyme with the most romantic first
line…but the least romantic second line.Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss
But I only slept with you, because I was pissed.I thought that I could love no other
Until, that is, I met your brother.Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet,
and so are you.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead,
the sugar bowl’s empty, and so is your head.Of loving beauty you float with grace
If only you could hide your faceKind, intelligent, loving and hot;
This describes everything you are not.I want to feel your sweet embrace
But don’t take that paper bag off of your face.I love your smile, your face, and your eyes -
Damn, I’m good at telling lies!My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying you screwed up my lifeI see your face when I am dreaming.
That’s why I always wake up screamingMy feelings for you no words can tell,
Except for maybe “go to hell”What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime
