Magic Wang

On the New York Yankees is a pitcher named Chien-Ming Wang. He's their number one ace and he's having another great year with 16 wins so far.

But his last name is Wang. And the sports news services have a great time with that. I've seen all of the following headlines this year: Wang Up and Down in Spring Training, Red-hot Wang propels Yankees past Tigers, and today's espn.com gem:

Magic Wang

Now if I could somehow work a joke about Wang going shopping at Menards...

Sucker for new Vox themes

nobody@vox.com(Cortadito) — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 18:49:39 -0400

I love new Vox releases. Even if I don't love them. I always have to try a couple of new themes, only to return to my custom theme. This time is no exception.

I read the release notes but what are the best parts of this release? I like excerpts in the email notifications, that seems pretty smart. The profile photo thing I don't quite get... I know there are 2 photos, but I have them both set to the same thing so it's not of use for me right now.

Anyway, I've not got much to say lately, so um... Vox is cool. Thanks for the new release. More later.

Vox Hunt: Always Good For A Laugh

Video: Share a video that makes you laugh every time you watch it.

JAMES BROWN INTERVIEW

I've posted this before, but this is the ONLY video I've ever seen of any kind that kills me every time. The Godfather is playing with poor Sonya so badly. I know he was probably also on any number of substances, and in light of his passing this video could be a bit in bad taste. For that I apologize but man is it funny.

Does this count?

nobody@vox.com(Cortadito) — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 18:07:14 -0400

So, if a Vox Hunt question you suggested ends up in the [TIG] box on the Vox front page (or whatever page it's on- does this place even have a front page?) does it count as having "made it" to the the [TIG] box? What if you haven't even answered your own question? Disqualification?

this is sorta good?

A headline begging for a better story

[this is good]

Sure the story is cool on its own, a lot of dino bones found in a relatively small area. But it could be so much better... I'm thinking Jim Jones style suicide pact or something.

Don't worry I'm going to stop these posts now. We don't need to think about this any longer.

20 years ago...

nobody@vox.com(Cortadito) — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 14:02:08 -0400

I heard on the radio this morning that it's 20 years tomorrow since Guns N' Roses' Appetite For Destruction came out. A check of the never-wrong wikipedia tells me that it was 20 years ago last Saturday but still...

20 years.

That's just wrong. So wrong.
