Dear GOD, I didnt think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset you made on Tuesday. That was cool!

-Eugene

I Would Have Given More Had I Known…

Poza publicata in [ Lawyer ]



A lawyer died and arrived at the Pearly Gates. Saint Peter asked him, What have you done to merit entrance into Heaven?



The lawyer thought a moment, then said, A week ago, I gave a quarter to a homeless person on the street.



Saint Peter asked Gabriel to check this out in the records, and after a moment Gabriel affirmed that it was true. Saint Peter said, Well, thats fine, but its not really quite enough to get you into Heaven.



The Lawyer said, Wait, wait! Theres more! Three years ago, I also gave a homeless person a quarter.



Saint Peter nodded to Gabriel, who, after a moment, nodded back to affirm that it was true.



Saint Peter then whispered to Gabriel, Well, what do you suggest we do with this fellow?



Gabriel gave the lawyer a sidelong glance, then said to Saint Peter, Lets give him back his 50 cents and tell him to go to Hell.

The nun gets her fortune

Poza publicata in [ General / Unsorted ]

This nun was going to Chicago. She went to the airport and sat down waiting for her flight. When she looked over in the corner and saw one of those weight machines that tells your fortune. So she thought to herself Ill give it a try just to see what it tells me.

So she went over to the machine and she put her nickel in and card came out and it said, Your a nun you weigh 128lbs and your going to Chicago Illinois. So she sat back down and thought about it, she thought to herself it probably tells everyone the same thing, Im going try it again.

So she went over to the machine again and put her nickel in it, a card came out and said, your a nun, you weigh 128lbs., your going to Chicago Ill. and your going to play a fiddle. She said to herself I know thats wrong I have never played a musical instrument a day in my life. She sat back down and this Cowboy came over and set his fiddle case down she picked up the fiddle and just started playing beautiful music. She looked back at the machine and said this is incredible Ive got to try it again.

So she went back to the machine put her nickel in another card came out and it said, your a nun, you weigh 128lbs., your going to Chicago Ill. and your going to break wind. She thinks I know its wrong now Ive never broke wind in public a day in my life, well she tripped and fell off the scales and FARTED like a bay mule. So she sat back down and looked at the machine once again. She said to herself this is truly unbelievable, Ive got to try it again.

She went back to the machine, put her nickel in and a card came out and said, your a nun, you weigh 128lbs., your going to Chicago Ill. and your going to have sex. She said ah-hah that does it. I know for sure its wrong now, Im a nun, aint ever had none, and aint ever gonna get none. Well a huge electrical storm came through and the electricity went off and she got raped… She sat back down and thought about it for few minutes and then said this is truly, truly, incredible. But one thing is for certain, Ive got to try it again just to see what is gonna happen to me before I leave this airport.

She went over to the machine put her nickel in and a card came out and it said. Your a nun, you weigh 128lbs., you have fiddled, farted, fucked around and missed your flight to Chicago!!!!!!!

Movie Cliches

Poza publicata in [ General / Unsorted ]

Herewith is a compendium of movie clichés, stereotypes, obligatory scenes, hackneyed formulas, shopworn conventions and outdated archetypes.

The author says that as you go to enough different movies, you start to notice things. Like how every time theres a chase scene in an exotic locale, a fruit cart gets overturned. Or how whenever the hero knocks out a Nazi sentry and puts on his uniform, the uniform is a perfect fit. Or how there are plots that would be over in five minutes, if all characters werent idiots.

Actress Inferior Position – In movie sex scenes, which are usually directed by men, the POV (Point of View) at the moment of climax is almost always the mans, so that we see the actress, not the actor, losing control.

AC-WAT-NOBI Movie – A Cop With A Theory No One Believes In.

Against All Odds Rule – In an apparently fatal situation from which there is no possible hope of survival, it is certain the characters will survive. In a situation where there is any apparent chance of survival, there will be at least some deaths.

Aint Nobody Here but Us Chickens. – Whenever someone is alone at home at night and they hear a sound in the house and ask aloud, (Name), is that you? it NEVER is.

Air Vent Escape Route – If the hero is imprisoned in a building owned by the villains, there will inevitably be an air vent cover that is not screwed in and is easily removed. The passageway will be large enough to accommodate any size person. The escape route will pass over the room where the bad guys are discussing the details of their diabolical plan, which the hero will now be able to foil.

Alien Berlitz Communication Rule (ABC Rule) – Movie aliens are able to learn the local language (English, French, Japanese, etc.) in an amazingly short time. Frequently this includes the ability to reproduce recognizable Earth-like accents.

Ali MacGraws Disease – Movie illness in which only symptom is that the sufferer grows more beautiful as death approaches.

Back seat Inviso-Syndrome – Film characters are invariably unable to see a person crouched in the backseat of a car (even a convertible) when, in the real world, it is an impossible place for a person to hide.

Bad Movie Rental Warning Rule – If a rental movie box has a warning such as If scenes of graphic horror offend you, do not rent this film! -do not rent this film.

Baguette Envy – In every scene which includes a person carrying a bag of groceries, the bag will invariably contain a long, skinny, French baguette loaf, and exactly

8.5 inches of it will be exposed.

Bartender Establishing Shot – All movie bartenders, when first seen, are wiping the inside of a glass with a rag.

Based on a True Story. – Hollywood shorthand, meaning: Depressing,morbid, downbeat, including scenes so shocking or lascivious that no producer would include them in a movie unless he could excuse himself by saying these things actually happened.

Bathroom Rule – No one in the movies ever goes to the toilet to perform the usual bodily functions. Instead they either use the bathroom to take illegal drugs, commit suicide, make a criminal deal, kill someone else in a stall, get killed, or sneak out through the bathroom window.

Beeping Rule – In movies where cops, reporters, hackers, and others are using a computer to locate a suspect or special file, the successful retrieval of said subject is heralded with dramatic beeps, flashing messages, and other electronic indications that something important has been found. The only time an ordinary computer ever beeps is when it refuses to carry out a command.

Beginning, The – Word used in titles of sequels to movies in which everyone was killed at the end of the original movie, making an ordinary sequel impossible. Explains to knowledgeable filmgoers that the movie will concern, for example, what happened in the Amityville house before the Lutzes moved in. Other examples: The First Chapter, The Early Days, etc.

Best Play of the Game Rule – Every bad sports movie ends with the hero making an extraordinary catch/play/hit in slow motion to win the game at the final gun/bell/buzzer.

Betcha Cant Name That Tune Ploy – Almost all movie pianists, such as Clint Eastwood in In the Line of Fire, are perfectly happy playing nothing but chords. By never straying anywhere near a recognizable melody, they avoid paying royalties.

Betsy Syndrome – Identifying an actor in print by their latest film, regardless of how weak it was. Inspired by a newspaper article that appeared toward the end of Sir Lawrence Oliviers career, referring to him as Lawrence (The Betsy) Olivier.

Big Nod, The – Comes after the Last Word. After a character is fatally wounded, first he lies motionless and recites an incredibly meaningful statement. Then his head nods to one side.

Bogeyman Shot – Unaware victim is shot in close-up looking toward the camera, while a huge lopsided space is left vacant for the monster/killer to appear in.

Boob Tube – There is never anything worth seeing on TV in the movies.

Boom-Boom Rule – Whenever a building or a car explodes, the explosion will be repeated in its entirely from several different camera angles.

Born in the USA – Any movie set in an unnamed U.S. city will be revealed by the credits to have been filmed in Toronto or Vancouver.

British Roman Rule – All leaders of the Roman Empire have British accents. Why dont filmmakers want Romans to at least have Italian accents?

Broken Compass Principle – In New York City chase scenes, cars are able to turn off of avenues onto other avenues. This is impossible, since the avenues are parallel.

Bumbling Night Watchman – Any scene involving the good guy burgling an office at night will inevitably include a semi- competent night watchman, whose sole purpose is to inject an element of danger into an otherwise boring event. Actions performed by the watchman usually include shining flashlight through the window, rattling doorknobs, watching security monitors, etc., all done in a manner that allows the good guy to continue undetected until just after he discovers the needed information or object. He will then flee the scene with the watchman in pursuit.

Bun and Spectacles Rule – Any woman who appears in a movie with her hair in a tight bun and wearing glasses (usually large thick round ones will inevitably turn out to be the beautiful heroine. She will magically acquire perfect vision and a sexy wardrobe.

Murder

Poza publicata in [ General / Unsorted ]

A police detective was investigating a homicide. As he questioned the on-scene officer, he learned the body was that of a young woman. The body was found with a bowl over her head and a spoon stuck in her back.

The on-scene officer asked what the detective thought had happened to the woman.

The detective responded, I think its obvious. A cereal killer got her!

Interesting software ideas

Poza publicata in [ Computer ]

[Ed: Edited from an article on The humour interface project ]

The group shared their favorites. Windows that crack or melt into a
slag heap. The MacIntosh IBM DOS emulator that, when fired up,
begins to put up a zippy MacIntosh screen, stops halfway down the
screen to declare, Oops? Sorry. You wanted 1950s technology. It
then goes into command line mode. The supposed unused ROM hook in
the Mac that would have caused a monkey to dance across the screen
ONCE upon the 7698th (or whatever) boot of the machine. Insects
crawling around the screen.

As you read this, project programmers in ski-masks are already coding
up:

ELUSIVE MENU: When the mouse cursor enters such menus, the menus
dodge away while insulting the user with appropriate language and
gestures. Somebody informed us this is just like the Mac Bomb
program.

CRASHING WINDOWS: You begin to move a window. Suddenly it
accelerates out of your control up toward the corner of the screen.
When it reaches the corner, it smashes to pieces, falling to the
bottom of the screen. Appropriate sounds effects are heard. Email
is sent to the site manager blaming you for the broken window.

AEROBIC WINDOWS: You begin to move a window and suddenly it
accelerates out of your control bouncing around the screen faster
and faster. It finally slows down an sits on your screen off in the
direction you were moving it, but huffing and puffing, sort of
expanding in and out. You begin working again, its breathing slows
and stops after a few moments.

PEOPLE INSIDE THE MONITOR: You get an error. A large face leans in
from the left, gives you a Lettermanesque look, like hes got a
horrible flavor on his tongue, and then leans back out of the
monitor.

GIGANTIC SCREEN-FILLING BODY PART MOUSE CURSOR ICONS: You can move
them no more than a half inch in each direction. Need the
Interface-esE liberation Army say more?
