Now I know the best way to open a bottle of wine without a corkscrew. It becomes pretty much genius towards the end so disregard that the demonstrator is pretty much not in need of a bottle at the time the video was taken.

The Largest Cruise Ship in the World is Five Times the Size of the Titanic | TwistedSifter

That is big.

Even if you hate cruises, I’d give this a try. Truly a floating city.

Deepak Chopra promotes… well… giving.

Not sure if I like the title though.

posted on 25.10.09 I remember a joke about U2...

When Stevie Ray Vaughan died in 1990 and went to Heaven, St. Peter was there to greet him and take him to his heavenly lodgings.

As Peter was showing him around, he brought him to the area where the great musicians are now living. They pass rooms where he sees Hendrix jamming on a guitar, then Janis belting out some blues and Buddy Holly crooning some amazing innocent pop with Roy Orbison.

As they went further down the hall, they pass a room where they find Bono singing to some fans and preaching to them. Slightly stunned, Stevie asks Pete “Um, did Bono die when I did?”

Pete looked down, shook his head, and then looked back up at Stevie with an embarrassing look on his face and said “Um, no actually. That’s God. He just thinks he’s Bono.”

I saw this shop near Houhai that sold these funny shirts/bags/etc. with the label “Oba Mao.” All the conservatives are using this as more proof that Obama is a closet communist.

I met this shop owner and I had a great chat with him. He knows that Obama is far from being a communist, especially one of Charman Mao’s caliber. The guy who created this stuff is just a Chinese hipster who wants to make a dime off the art in a Shepard Fairey fashion. I still bought a few shirts and stuff to make my Glenn Beck/Michelle Malkin fan acquaintances go nuts.

I’m glad you’re going to do your comeback soon and you’ll be performing your one-man show again in LA. However, I must say, you need to switch promoters or management.

Originally, you wanted to book The Henry Fonda Theater. I bought tickets they day they went on sale and I got a nice pair on the floor. A month later, you fell into chaos.

I got an email the day before I was to leave to Tokyo (thank you Ticketmaster - you actually did something right) saying the venue and dates have changed. I guess the show was so popular, you decided to move it 2 months later to Club Nokia. I can understand the changes and that I’d have to call again to switch to new tickets.

Thanksfully, my flight was delayed and I was to leave LAX at 2:30pm. So in the AA Admirals Lounge I call at 10am on the day the new sale started. However, every TM rep says they were given no plans on what to do and to call back at 6pm that day. Well, that sucks. They were all ready to help but nobody gave them the instructions on what to do. I then ask my friend to call on the time and he too gets the runaround. No news yet and we’ll know more in a few days.

Now I get another email saying my tix have been canceled but my confirmation number gets me into a new show on an exclusive sale date. So I have to reply to an email and get ona list of sorts then call at 10 am again on another date while I’m in Japan.

Now I don’t even want to go to your show. Why does it have to be so confusing just to buy a damn ticket?
