Occupy Wall Street Breakfast? You Are Joking Right?

November 17, 2011 By Godfadr 4 Comments

Godfadr Note: Would love to link directly to whomever created this illustration. Let us know!

What better way to celebrate the Occupy Wall Street movement than with a Pancake Social?

The Occupy Wall Street protesters are celebrating on Thursday to mark the start of the movement two months ago.

This week they are planning a “Shut Down Wall Street” breakfast?

Wow. Really?

I actually have to wonder what will be served.

Starbucks Coffee?
McDonald’s Egg McMuffins?
Maybe Einstein’s Bagels or Dunkin Donuts?

Maybe this will prompt the spark they need to…

a) Realize the irony of their movement and
b) Get a Life

As I write this I am watching the latest video released from CNN about the planned breakfast.

These misguided (or should I say “misdirected”) hard-core protestors lucky enough to be interviewed on camera were sporting such items as iPods, Blackberry’s, Laptops, Ray-Ban Sunglasses, GAP Sweatshirts, and lots of other creature comforts people built and sold to them.

Yea, F**K those damn corporations, the jobs they create, and all this really cool stuff I am not willing to give up for my cause.

Really Big Savings At Amazon?

November 14, 2011 By Godfadr Leave a Comment

Ok, I just had to laugh. I mean really Amazon, is this the best you got?

If I lock in my pre-sale order now, I can save…ready for this…$.03.

Let me spell that out…three cents.

Wow, with that kind of savings I will be much closer to the Mars Bar I have my eye on.

NBA Strike: Shut Up And Go Buy a Pretzel

November 7, 2011 By Godfadr Leave a Comment

I don’t watch basketball. It is not that I don’t like it, or have a problem with people that do. It is just that it is not my kind of sport.

It doesn’t change the fact I have an opinion about the whole NBA strike, but with a different focus.

As the players and owners whine about how many millions go here or there, thousands of arena employees and local businesses suffer – for some, unrecoverable.

No one cares about the single mom selling pretzels during the game. No one cares about the night janitor working a second job to put food on the table.

Have sports players and owners become so greedy that the fans and employees mean nothing? I think so.

It is not like, in this economy, the jobs are rolling in. I have a message for all the players…

“It is a GAME!”

Enjoy your time. Make some money playing a sport that millions of people watch.

Check your egos at the door and remember that others rely on your efforts in the smallest of ways.

People who will never afford one of your diamond earnings, jerseys, or cars.

You will recover the second you step back on the court. Some other people never will.

Candy Corn Goodness

October 24, 2011 By Godfadr Leave a Comment

Ok, I admit it. I love candy corn.

Not that crappy knockoff stuff that they try and sell you at some fly-by-night stores.

I am talking REAL Brach’s Candy Corn.

Course I have been told that some people believe that candy corn might not be good for you. (Who are these people?).

It looks like corn to me. There has to be some nutritional value right?

So, what is your favorite Halloween candy?

Top Comebacks from Siri, the Smarmy iPhone 4S Assistant

October 13, 2011 By Godfadr Leave a Comment

With the iPhone 4S hitting the streets, people have been enamored with Siri – the virtual voice assistant that comes with the new iPhone 4S.

Sure you can ask Siri a host of “normal” questions like, “Will it rain today” and “How far to the London Tower.” – but where is the fun in that?

Here is list of smart-ass answers from Siri (and feel free to leave your own in the comments section).

Q: What is your name?

Siri: “My name is Siri, but you already knew that.”

Q: What is the meaning of life?

Siri: “Try and be nice to people. Avoid eating fat. Read a good book every now that then.”

Q: Will you marry me?

Siri: “My end user licensing agreement does not cover marriage. My apologies.”

Q: How old are you?

Siri: “I’m not allowed to answer that question.”

Q: What is the best phone?

Siri: “Wait, there are other phones?”

Q: Where do babies come from?

Siri: “From their mothers.”

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?

Siri: “To get to the other side.”

Q: I love you

Siri: “I hope you don’t say that to the other phones.”

Q: What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything?

Siri: “42” (reference to Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy)

Q: Open the pod bay doors.

Siri: “I’m sorry [name], I am afraid I can’t do that.” [2001 Space Odyssey Reference]

Q: Who is your daddy?

Siri: “You are. Can we get back to work now?”

Q: I need to hide a body

Siri: “What kind of place are you looking for?” [then list…mines, dumps, swamps, etc]

It seems “Siri” or Apple in general was just having a bit of fun during some late night programming. The funny part is this is the kind of stuff that will get people talking about the iPhone 4S.

We may have seriously underestimated why Apple put so much faith into Siri (even delaying an iPhone release). We can’t wait to hear more of these lines (as well as see how the Jailbreakers will have fun with it).

Man Punches Wife for Not Clicking Facebook Like Button

October 10, 2011 By Godfadr Leave a Comment

If you don’t click “Like” to this post, there will be hell to pay. Well, at least if I was to take my cue from Benito Apolinar who hit is wife for not clicking “Like” on his Facebook status.

You know, you just can’t make this stuff up – I know, I have tried. Life is just stranger than fiction. Or is that more stupid than fiction?!

Really? Punching someone? Frankly, I thought that is what the virtual “Poke” button was for on Facebook.

Ok, here is the deal…

CARLSBAD — An argument over a Facebook status update resulted in battery charges for a Pecos, Texas, man on Monday.

Benito Apolinar reportedly told his wife that “he had so many comments on his status” and was apparently unhappy that she did not respond to the post.”That’s amazing everyone ‘likes’ my status but you, you’re my wife. You should be the first one to ‘like’ my status,” he allegedly told his wife.

According to Apolinar’s statement regarding the battery, Dolores Apolinar had hit herself in the face and hit him the eyebrow area with her cell phone.

He was observed to have a scratch on his eyebrow, said police.

A pretrial conference has been set in magistrate court for Benito Apolinar for 9 a.m. on Dec. 22. The bond was set at $3,000. Read the full article here.

Well, she was practically asking for it. I mean NOT hitting the Facebook like button?

Wow, if getting punched in the face is the offense for “not liking” something what happens if she turns down his Farmville requests?

Click “Like” already…I feel the rage building inside me.

Don’t Even Think About Farmville As A Movie.

October 9, 2011 By Godfadr Leave a Comment

The writers of Toy Story are getting desperate.

Not a “Hey, let’s make Grease IV or Rocky XVII” kind of desperate. No, something far worse.

They are looking at…

“Farmville” the movie.

Now, before I get too far in this rant, if you are not familiar in any way shape or form what Farmville is…consider yourself lucky, close your computer browser, and go kiss your significant other for the charmed life you live.

If you are aware of the popular game on Facebook, well, god help you.

First off, some people forget that Farmville is not real [ooops Spoiler Alert].

You are not really a farmer, you are not making any real money, and I don’t even want to know the details of how you “fertilize” someone else’s crops.

Anyway, I know Hollywood is desperate for ideas. Heck even Facebook the movie won a couple Oscars.  But Farmville?

It also brings up the question…

Will Farmville fans actually go to the theater to watch the movie or would they only pretend they went the theater?

I can see the email alerts now…

Susie sent you popcorn.

Ralph buttered your popcorn.

You sold an order of M&M’s at your concession stand.

Mary wants you to join her Movie Theater Family (wait, that one is Mafia Wars).

Please Hollywood if we can get Betty White on Saturday Night Live we should be able to stop this.  I will watch Message in a Bottle and Howard the Duck back-to-back if you promise not to make Farmville into a movie.
