Perhaps he should try standing?

I won’t be looking at declassified documents…

…at 12:01am on New Year’s Day, but I found this article on Technocrat.net pretty interesting…
Thanks to Executive Order 12958, millions of secret government documents 25 years old or more will be declassified at midnight, December 31, 2006.
Apparently this has been going on for 6 years or so, thanks to a Clinton-era executive order that started declassifying materiels 25 years or older in 2000. Exceptions exist- you’re not going to see, say, the strategic plans for the 1980 invasion of Iran, nor are you going to see anything dangerous to current agents or anything that affects more than one agency. Agencies can also file to keep specific documents secret. The FBI, CIA, and NSA requested a few two-year extensions to the 2000 deadline (because they didn’t have the manpower to review the documents to decide which to declassify), but the Bush Administration has now told them they’re out of time, and so are releasing HUGE volumes of paper this year: The FBI alone will be declassifying 270 million pages. The NSA is declassifying at least 35 million.
Interesting. I wonder if people can use this to see what information the government gathered about themselves or other private parties!

The most incredibly viral video of 2006…

Okay, one of my twisted pleasures this year has been to quote a video that, quite frankly, cracks up everyone in my family. My nieces. My nephews. My sister. It even cracks up most of my friends. I’ve seen grown men laugh so hard that they start to cry. One of my friends now threatens me constantly with threats that she’s “going to beat yo’ ass, Charles!”
(Come to think of it, everyone’s been threatening to “Beat my ass” since this video came out… Hmmm… Not good to share the same name as Professor X, eh?)
So, without further ado, here’s what I believe is the most incredibly viral video of 2006… Oh, and it’s totally NSFW (Not Safe For Work for God knows how many reasons…)
The original… no longer posted on YouTube, but it remains on Google Video.
The video was so popular, that they even inserted this homage to the parody in to the third X-Men movie, X-Men: Last Stand…
Other variations:
I don’t even know what this is… some kind of Japanese game show called “Most Exteme Challenge” overdubbed with “I’m the Juggernaut, Bitch!”
The Juggernaut Bitch! Dance Party
Once a video becomes really popular, people feel a need to make a documentary about it, which has to include a dramatic reenactment…
Drunk men quoting the Juggernaut
A mechanic doing his impersonation of the Juggernaut
If you’re spacing out and doing an interpretive dance at school, well, someone is likely to tackle you while yelling, “I’m the Juggernaut, Bitch!”
Two guys who are just trying to make something for MySpace hit a mental brick wall and have to say…
Perhaps the most disturbing of them all.. Super Juggernaut: The Juggernaut Scene from X-Men 3 dubbed with sounds from Super Mario. Including the dialog. Weird!
And yeah, I know… I posted about this video a looooong time ago…

“All my thoughts get stuck in my neck!”

I learned something today as I wandered through a bunch of stores as part of my quest to upgrade my work wardrobe…
Many stores do not stock shirts with a neck size larger than 17 1/2″!
And no, I do not have a Herschel Walker-sized neck… I’m a pretty average fellow whose neck just barely goes over 18 inches in circumference.
The author’s incredibly normal neck.
Specifically, sales people at both Calvin Klein and Kenneth Cole stores showed me that their shirts don’t even offer sizes larger than 17 1/2 inches.
Oh sure, I guess he’s good looking… if you like small necks.
I know a lot of plus-sized women lament the fact that a lot of stylish clothes aren’t offered in their sizes, but who will hear the cries

Not one, but *two* Playstation 3 systems…

…graced my house this holiday season.
Contrary to what my niece Sara thought when she first saw their Christmas gift…
No, I did not stand outside in the cold for a week to buy a Playstation 3 for them.
My strategy for getting this season’s “must have” gift was really quite simple — I surfed over to a “bargains” site I often use and used their Playstation 3 Locator and Wii Locator to find when systems were in stock.
I got one from EBGames.com and another from Wal-Mart.
Why two?
One for me, one for the kids.
