Geeky Drunk

Dude, talk about being too stoned . . .  or spending all your money on weed and having major munchies. A McDonald’s cashier called 911 after a Vero Beach drive-thru customer allegedly offered to pay for his meal with marijuana. The Indian River County Sheriff’s Office said the cashier called Monday with a description of the vehicle the suspect had been riding in.A deputy spotted the vehicle, found marijuana in the car and arrested its occupant, 27-year-old Shawn Alexander Pannullo. Pannullo was charged with possession of cannabis and posted $500 bail. It was unclear if he had an attorney.

A Sheriff’s report did not say what the suspect ordered at McDonald’s or if he ultimately purchased the meal using something other than marijuana. (AP)

Does stupid still mean good? Well, if it does then that makes FlyCast the dopest, stupidest, freshest iPhone app in the entire galaxy. It is internet streaming radio at its finest, with over 1,000 radio internet stations available for your listening pleasure.

There are many stations for 3G connection, many for Edge Connection, several local radio stations, and a few general internet radio stations. What’s cool about FlyCast is that it buffers the music to save your bandwitdth and battery life, and also can play music while you’re doing other things on the iPhone.

All I really know is that they have a Rush Radio station. The Canadian power-trio Rush, 24 hours a day, every day. Best. app. ever.

And it’s free.

Wow, this video sure came out quick. After only two days of being Obama’s pick for his Vice Presidential candidate, Senator Joeseph Biden is on youtube completely drunk and singing the Villages theme song. Now that is a Vice President if this geeky drunk ever saw one, why didn’t Teddy ever get to be VP?

Go Joe!

If you grew up in the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, or even recently . . you probably know Mister Rogers. Whether you were a huge fan or not, you probably remember watching Mister Rogers Neighborhood at least once, if not hundreds of times. The show was a huge influence on me. Now if you’re thinking that the name of this website doesn’t fit this topic, well tough luck toots, because the website name is kinda in jest and I’m an all around good kid pretty much.

I used to watch Mister Rogers and Sesame Street twice a day. The same programs twice a day! And I don’t remember being any less excited for the second airing than I was the first. Name a show today that you would be willing to watch twice a day, every day. Well maybe you’re not 5 years old, but still you get my point. And I bet several of you out there are guilty of the same thing.

I learned my ABC’s and 123’s from Sesame Street. However, from Mister Rogers I learned how to be a real person, how to have good values, how to look at the positive, how to focus on the simple rather than the complex, and how to like myself just the way I am. And a lot more.

So it is pretty sad that PBS has recently decided to only transmit Mister Rogers Neighborhood once a week, instead of every day. To think I used to be able to watch Mister Rogers twice a day, and now i’ll be down to only once a week. A few PBS affiliates have promised to keep Mister Rogers on every day, but I have a feeling that Barney and Teletubbies will beat out the only real person still able to talk to our children today.

There is a somewhat new website, Save Mister Rogers, that has a Facebook group and has been trying to get people like you to contact your local members of Congress and help them urge the President of PBS to keep Mister Rogers on five days a week. After all, the Pubic Broadcasting Station is tax payer and publicly funded. PBS should be airing what we feel is most important for our kids, not what is most profitable.

I pretty please urge you to contact your elected Congress members and explain why the tax payer funded PBS should continue airing Mister Roger’s Neighborhood daily . . . or maybe PBS won’t get any more millions of our dollars next year. (Like Fred Rogers convinced them to do many years ago and saved PBS - in this video.)

Below is a copy and paste you can use, but try to add some personal stuff in your emails and just admit the below copy and paste is a better explanation than you could ever do.

PBS has recently announced plans to virtually eliminate daily broadcast of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, a children’s program that has enriched the lives of millions of American children of all backgrounds. The gentle, accepting, understanding message of his program is in stark contrast to the coarseness of most “children’s” programming today. Mister Rogers provides vital social and emotional education to kids, embraces and celebrates diversity and promotes understanding and tolerance-all things that are in short supply in our world today. Furthermore, Fred Rogers almost single handedly saved PBS during his 1969 testimony to Congress before Rep. John Pastore. He-and we-deserve better. Please encourage Linda Simensky, PBS’ Senior Director of Children’s Programming, to reaffirm PBS’ commitment to broadcasting Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood on a daily basis. I would not support continued funding for PBS or the Corporation for Public Broadcasting without Mr. Rogers.

Well, whatever you can do would be great. Thanks for being you.

Man did it take at least 15 years too long, or what (how long have I been drinking?) Sure, we’ve had the cute little hat that could hold a measly two beers, but never has the geeky drunk in all of us had the ability to hold six beers on their person . . . until now, folks. That’s right, with proud excitement I bring to you, the description of The Beer Belt:

Finally! Yes, it’s the life-changing, prayer-answering, best-idea-anyone’s-ever-had invention of the century! Cause seriously, holding a beer is exhausting! And don’t even get us started on holding 6 beers. Whew! But thankfully, the long dark days of arm-breaking party beer-holding are over. Say “hello” to your new best friend, the Beer Belt! This sturdy nylon belt feature 6 plastic cup holders, sized to fit cans or bottles. Fully adjustable, with a plastic buckle. Imported. Wipe clean.

Technically, you can carry six beers on your waist, and at LEAST two more in your hands for a total of 8 beers. Hey if you’re a lightweight, you’ll be good to go (in the infamous words of the great Lionel Richie) - ALL NIGHT LONG (like the little lightweight you are.)

Cheers pussies.

OK, some of the other tips on Geeky Drunk have actual answers, but we’re stuck on this one. It happens on our Vista desktop and Vista laptop / tablet pc. When I copy some text, I first highlight it and then right click and select “copy.” Then I go to the other program I want to use the text in, click where I want the text to go, and then right click and select “paste.” The problem is if I don’t un-highlight the text before I paste, it doesn’t work. You can’t paste text without first un-highlighting the text! Stupid!

It took a while to figure this out, but it is very consistent and happens on two different computers. Anyone else have this copy and paste / cut and paste problem, or better yet a solution? I hate having to deselect the text every time I want to paste.

Fortunately, my iPhone doesn’t have this problem, but then again it can’t even copy and paste . . .

What is this world coming to?

I happened to be in Chicago as a kid when one of the most famous Bozo the Clowns died. No, it wasn’t Willard Scott (who also played Ronald McDonald for a short while before his long lived weatherman career.) I believe it was Bob Bell, who was one of the most famous hosts of the Bozo the Clown Show on the local WGN 9 station out of Chicago. Although there is some dispute, one of the original Bozo the Clowns, who was responsible for signing up over 200 other Bozos for other local television stations, passed away today of congestive heart failure. Larry Harmon was 85.

Although not the original Bozo, Harmon portrayed the popular clown in a ton of appearances and he licensed the character to others, including dozens of television stations around the country. The local stations hired actors to be their local Bozos.

Pinto Colvig, who also provided the voice for Walt Disney’s Goofy, was the first Bozo the Clown, a character created by writer-producer Alan W. Livingston for a series of children’s records in 1946. Livingston said he came up with the name Bozo after polling several people at Capitol Records.

Harmon would later meet his alter ego while answering a casting call to make personal appearances as a clown to promote the records. He got that job and eventually bought the rights to Bozo. Along the way, he embellished Bozo’s distinctive look: the orange-tufted hair, the bulbous nose, the outlandish red, white and blue costume.

So your friends want to go to this stupid expensive bar where dudes in suits hang out, but also has the hottest chicks in town. How are you supposed to get drunk on $8 drinks? Easy, buy an energy drink before you go to the bar and chug it down or use it as a mixer.

Energy drinks have caffeine in them, which causes your veins to expand, allowing the alcohol the beverages are mixed with to circulate faster. A lot of energy drinks also have an amino acid called taurine in them, which helps speed up your metabolism. This causes you to feel the effects of the alcohol faster than you would under normal circumstances. So get geeky drunk a lot quicker on us!
