INFINITY Welcomes Careful Drivers

Today, I received some very sad news via the community based news site Digg. This weekend, Gerard Rocco Damiano passed away after complications from a stroke. He was 80.

What's that? You don't know who that is? Maybe his alias, Jerry Gerard rings a bell. No? Ok... how about Linda Lovelace? Jerry Gerard was the pseudonym for Gerard Rocco Damiano, the man who brought to life the quintessential bad 70's porn. Yes, you know it now. You know the movie of which I speak. The man who gave us Deep Throat is no more.  read more »

I haven't done too much in the way of modification to the 91 BRG. I wanted to keep it stock for a while, just so I can enjoy the peppiness of a nearly new Miata. The BRG only has 55,000 miles on it as of today, so beyond maintenance stuff and a Borla cat-back exhaust, she's bone stock.  read more »

Ever since I got my Classic Red 91, I've been looking for another Miata. Not that I needed one, or didn't like the one I had. My Red's a great car, even with the automatic transmission. But there are other Miatas I've lusted after since seeing them, and they have special names. Sunburst Yellow. 93 LE. 95-M. MSM. 10AE. And there is the 91 BRG.  read more »

What the Holy Hell??? Some number of years ago, I first stumbled across Chuck Palahniuk's short story Guts, in which he details a first hand experience of a guy who has his intestines sucked out of his ass in a swimming pool. Of all the Palahniuk stories I have ever read (or anything I have ever read for that matter) this is one of the top 3 stories that really had me twitchy. It appears, however, that this really does happen in real life. Sadly, a 6 year old girl died from it. The following story is from KETV in Omaha Nebraska  read more »

The clip below is from an episode of Trading Spouses (I think... either that or Wife Swap). All I can say is Holy Crap! I knew that people could get like this, that ignorance can lead to some jaw dropping things, but I've never seen anything like this before.

The sad thing is, her husband and kids are all sitting around excited that she is coming home. They have gifts in hand and are prepared to welcome her home with all their love. Then you get to see their smiles turn into horrified looks of shock as she immediately starts screaming at everyone about being tainted with darkness and all this other typical overzealous religious drivel.

I came across this little bit of animated joy today while reading some forums I frequent. This video is just simply amazing. From the poorly rendered 70's style animation to the bad acting and sound effects to the overall message, this video is just priceless in its absurdity.

I do not know if it is real or not, or more specifically, I dont know that this is a true representation of the Mormon faith, but it made me laugh out loud, and then stare in mute amazement and left me with the inability to actually create a coherent sentence. Read the rest of this to see the video.  read more »

There is a whole community of people who have hacked Guitar Hero and inserted their own songs and key charts, adding who knows how many songs to the playlist. Searching YouTube will show you videos of quite a bit, and you can learn more by visiting ScoreHero . Com. This one just beats the hell out of anything I've seen, even the vaunted Expert Mode version of Through the Fire and Flames.

I present to you, Dueling Banjos:

The Beatnix are a Beatles tribute band from Australia. They dress like the Fab 4, play vintage instruments and even record the occasional Ed Sullivan like video. For example, this video, which is just... well, different to be sure. Who would have thought that a depressing dirge like Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin could be so cheery and upbeat?  read more »

This is absolutely brilliant. Gotta be the best play I have ever seen in a football game, and these high school kids pulled it off!

Now that I have gotten some of my pain and bitterness out, I wanted to post something positive. Virginia Tech has beaten Boston College in Jacksonville for the 2007 ACC Championship!! The final score was 30 - 16, with tech getting the final touchdown at the 11 second mark at the end of the 4th quarter.

Those who follow college football, and Virginia Tech specifically will remember that 11 seconds is the exact time that Boston College scored their final touchdown, allowing them a victory over Tech on their last meeting, a Thursday night game at Lane Stadium.

BC had a lead in the first, but by the forth quarter, Tech ramped up their game, came back strong, and with the final interception by Vince Hall thanks to a tipped pass by the BC quarterback, The Hokies were able to win this years championship.

Now it's off to the Orange Bowl! GO HOKIES!!!
