Spotted on YouTube

Be careful about not hitting "Skip ad" in some pre-roll. I was listening to some music on YouTube while working on another laptop and found myself listening to a LONG rambling advertisement about vitamins or some shit.

It turns out the preroll was 48 fucking minutes long, and if I didn't hit "Skip ad", I'd be subject to a fully produced infomercial about the benefits of supplements and "natural" vitamins that will  “detoxify,” “purify,” “revitalize,” or “energize” your body; “balance” its chemistry or “electromagnetic energy”; bring it in harmony with nature; “stimulate” or “strengthen” your immune system; “support” or “rejuvenate” various organs in your body; “unlock your body’s healing ability”; or stimulate your body’s power to heal itself.

Bye bye, bullshit!

New Year's Memories

J'Net and I went to Atlantic City for New Year's, and some time after the ball dropped at midnight, we wandering around Caesar's and its conference rooms. We peeked into what looked like the remains of the "Enchantment Under The Sea" dance from "Back To The Future."


It was odd, because it was only 1:15 am, and the entire place was cleared out already.


J'Net found some unclaimed photos that I guess people either forgot to pick up or saw and decided not to get. So we grabbed a couple.


Here now are their supposed backstories:


Janie Hidalgo and her imaginary friend Millicent hail from Sioux City, Iowa. Janie is a former court stenographer, and Millicent is an invisible pink moose wearing a sombrero. Although the longtime relationship between Janie and Millicent is based on friendship, in a pinch it has gotten sexual.

Janie declined to pick up this photo because she forgot to smile, and because Millicent blinked.


Doug Borschtein and Larry Umlaut are area residents (and golf buddies) from nearby Cheesequake, NJ but have never visited Atlantic City until today. They only became interested in coming here because Doug started watching "Boardwalk Empire" on HBO and thought it would be neat to see if it really was a crime-ridden hellhole like it's depicted on the show. It is.

Larry did see the photo of them on the board but wisely decided not to grab it, noticing the proximity of dong to Doug.
