Nice beaver!

"It’s true what they say: Cops and women don’t mix. It’s like eating a spoonful of Drano… sure it’ll clean you out, but it’ll leave you hollow inside."

Enjoy this and many more memorable quotes when you buy the Naked Gun DVD box set from Amazon for only $12.47!  12 dollars for 3 (hilarious) movies?!  I paid almost $40 for this set a few years back.  What a deal.

The yuks-to-bucks ratio on this is off the charts.

Ace out of the hole

Well, I called it pretty close (I had said "welcome to the top 8"), but pretty boy Ace has come up snake-eyes in 7th place.

I was actually going to post a picture of Chris Daughtry with a crown on his head for this post after he showed he can actually sing a song… and then there he is in the bottom two?

Completely random.  So I’m not even bothering to attempt a guess at who will win it all.  I’m just sticking with the McPheever.

Google Calendar

Google’s at it again…

Now you (& friends) can plan your life online with Google Calendar.  The best part of the calendar is being able to share it with friends and family so everyone’s in on common events (you can set up private appointments as well).  I have it set up as my start page, so I always know our (increasingly busier, for some reason) schedule instantly.  Have reminders sent to your GMail account.

You do need a Google Account to use it, which is free.

How new media is corrupting our children!

"It goes like this: Young people embrace an activity. Adults condemn it. The kids grow up, no better or worse than their elders, and the moral panic subsides. Then the whole cycle starts over. Here’s how the establishment has greeted past scourges."

… you know, proven corruptive influences like Rock ‘n’ Roll, comic books… and the Waltz!

A short, great read from Wired, capped by an ominous warning from Hillary Rodham.
We’re all going to hell. 

HOT! Canon S2 IS for *$309* w/free shipping

If you’ve been looking for a digital camera, why not get the best one ever?!

Dell has the soon-to-be-legendary S2 IS for $309 shipped!

To get this deal, first go to the S2 product page.  Add to your shopping cart.

Then click checkout.  Where it says "Apply coupon" enter in the following codes, one at a time:
$V7CQWF82D0518
X10DHMT?VL6NBS

These coupons bring the $399 total down to $319, then $309 respectively.  And you get free ground shipping to boot.

This camera can hold over 500 5-Megapixel pictures on an inexpensive 1GB memory card, has 12x zoom (most digicams have only 3x!), uses a tilt/swivel LCD to take pictures from any angle, has a camcorder-quality movie mode… and much much more!

NOTE: You cannot sit on this deal if you’re interested!!  The coupon codes are only good for a few thousand uses, and then expire.  They’re currently being passed around the Net, and my guess is they’ll likely expire today.

Update: Amazon has the camera for $339, which may work out to about the same price (considering the sales tax charged by Dell).  Check out the 4 1/2 star reviews there as well.

Mandiva

So Mandisa gets the boot tonight…

And joining her onstage were two more powerhouses — Paris & Elliot (?!)

After the last few weeks, I was convinced this was a popularity contest.  But now?  Hmmm…  Looks like one mediocre night, and it could be your last.  At least my girl got to sit "Idol"y by and watch this week.
