Some tips on what to avoid

These are hilarious. If you come across this guy on your late night internet outings, do yourself a favor and play along.

This is the greatest thing anyone has ever done with anything ever

Crazy Japanese and all their technology!

Ha ha, cowboys!

Fabulous!

Currently, my life consists of living in a small apartment, sitting at my computer writing "pieces" that I hope make me rich and famous, shopping to ward off boredom, and adding to my growing collection of shoes. I got to thinking, in a city like Prince George, is it possible that my identity is not my own, but in fact of someone else? Yes it's true, my sports-shoe fetish is growing more powerful by the day, and soon my life will not be my own, but a collection of columns I dub Sexually Confused in the City.

The first one is a vintage 2003 Prince NSF Viper II, with the rare blue and black color scheme. This pair is currently the centerpiece of my home collection. The second and third, the 2005 Adidas ClimaCool Boom and the 2004 Prince NSF Viper III, I hope to add to my stable.

When does it end?

It has always been my contention that home theatre is the most unnecessary of all luxuries. If movies are entertainment and are designed to distract us from our regular lives, why is it that only the richest (and thus those that need the break the least) can afford it? It is that unfortunate, ironic paradigm that I have dedicated my life and most of my disposable income to defeat. My latest attempts to bolster my home theatre arsenal take the form of a quick strike and a pre-emptive calculation.

That big black box is the Monster Power HTS 3500 MKII. It cleans the dirty power that wrecks the quality of my sound and video on such an enormous level that I might actually notice, but only now that they've told me so. The Monster Power 3500 MKII is a big, fat, overpriced, underperforming powerbar. Naturally, I have to have one.

If you must ask what that big Blu thing is you are terribly uninformed. You're probably one of those people who thinks that 100 watts per channel is actually 100 watts per channel! Ha ha! Go read up on your peak and RMS, you n00b! THAT, my friend, is the Sony BDP-S1. It's exactly the same as your $30 Thompson interlaced DVD player you bought at Canadian Tire, except that if you put them in the same room together, the Sony BDP-S1 would disintegrate your Thompson by simply opening its tray. That's because this is Sony's first Blu-ray player, and Blu-ray will take over for DVD and stomp all over HD DVD. Blu-ray disks have massive storage capacity, a sweet anti-scratch coating, and will be obscenely expensive for what will amount to a small improvement. Naturally, I have to have one.

Bullets dodge Chuck Norris

Stumbled upon this the other day, it was late and I was tired. Naturally, I laughed myself silly. The more you read the funnier it gets.
