How I Spent My Saturday Afternoon...

My Good friend Donny got a free hot tub from his brother-in-law.

We  drove up to Standish ME. near Sebago Lake to pick it up with his

friends snowmobile trailer. The hot tub was outside on a flat concrete pad

so we jacked it up just over 2 feet and then walked the trailer in

under it. We slowly levered it down and were on our way. Overall about a

4 and a half hour job. Tomorrow we will see about getting it into his back yard.



Hitler How To Make A Parody....At Least How I Made My Parody

I have always laughed at the creativity that people have put into the Hitler Downfall Parodies.


Not to long ago I decided to waste countless hours farting around with making my own.


If you haven't seen the one I did here it is:




After I posted that some of you asked me in the comments or in emails how I did it.

I did some googling back when I thought about trying to make my own parody and I came across


this great step by step guide that someone posted a few years back.


Good Luck!!! :)

Here's the link...  If you have any questions  leave them in the comments.... :)

Brain-eating Amoeba.....

A sinus-flushing device used to relieve colds and allergies has been linked to a deadly brain-eating amoeba.

Louisiana's state health department issued a warning about neti pots - which look like mini watering cans, that are used by pouring salty water through one nostril.

For The Golfers Out There....

Golf Ball
GOLF BALL HITTING STEEL WALL AT 150 MPH..!!


This one you will not believe, but @ 70,000 pictures a second,
it will make you a believer
. Whether you are a golfer or not, this is pretty amazing.
I thought golf balls were fairly hard.
Golfers and non golfers will be interested in seeing this.


No one has a swing speed of 150 mph, including Tiger Woods
who is just under 130 mph.
I had no idea the golf ball compresses this much.
But first a little history I recently learned:


1 - The Pro V-1 golf ball by Titleist is actually a three part ball,
but you have to have a club head speed of at least 100 mph or more
to be able to compress all three stages.
If you don't the ball never fully compresses
and you don't get the distance out of it that the pro's do.
2 – We duffers will get more distance out of a ball that only has two stages of compression,
like the Titleist NX Tour.
It is more suited to our swing speed and we can compress
it upon impact and can hit it further than the Pro V-1 ball.
3 - So the secret is not to buy the most expensive balls
out there because we are actually decreasing the distance we can hit the ball,
unless your club head speed is over 100 mph,
which unless you are 21 to 50 years old, isn't going to happen!!!
Watch this video, this shows what a golf ball goes through when hit at 150 mph,
it's amazing to me how long these balls last.
Maybe that's why the Pros use new balls ever time they play.
Remember, it's 70,000 frames per second.

World War III..... is it imminent?

A grim Ministry of Defense bulletin issued to Prime Minister Putin and President Medvedev today states that President Hu has “agreed in principal” that the only way to stop the West’s aggression led by the United States is through “direct and immediate military action” and that the Chinese leader has ordered his Naval Forces to “prepare for warfare.”

Birthday Barbie Gift...

One day a father gets out of work and on his way home he suddenly remembers that it's his daughter's birthday. He pulls over to a Toy Shop and asks the sales person, 'How much for one of those Barbie's in the display window?' The salesperson answers, 'Which one do you mean, Sir? We have: Work Out Barbie for $19.95, Shopping Barbie for $19.95, Beach Barbie for $19.95, Disco Barbie for $19.95, Ballerina Barbie for $19.95, Astronaut Barbie for $19.95, Skater Barbie for $19.95, and Divorced Barbie for $265.95'.

The amazed father asks: 'It's what?! Why is the Divorced Barbie $265.95 and the others only $19.95?'

The annoyed salesperson rolls her eyes, sighs, and answers: 'Sir..., Divorced Barbie comes with: Ken's Car, Ken's House, Ken's Boat, Ken's Furniture, Ken's Computer, one of Ken's Friends, and a key chain made with Ken's balls.

My Time at Walmart: Why We Need Serious Welfare Reform
During the 2010 and 2011 summers, I was a cashier at Wal-Mart #1788 in Scarborough, Maine. I spent hours upon hours toiling away at a register, scanning, bagging, and dealing with questionable clientele. These were all expected parts of the job, and I was okay with it. What I didn’t expect to be part of my job at Wal-Mart was to witness massive amounts of welfare fraud and abuse.

Road Trip...

My friend just called and is broken down in Vermont....


Goin to the rescue... be back later....


The Angel On The Tree...

When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure.  
  
Then Mrs. Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.  
  

When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.
 
  

Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.
 
  

Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drunk all the cider and hidden the liquor.. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.
 
  

Just then the doorbell rang, and an irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.
 
  

The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?'
 
  

And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.
 
  

Not a lot of people know this.

24 hour loop of background ambiance sound of idling "Starship Engines".


Want to transform your bedroom into deep space? YouTuber CrysKnife007 has looped the most soothing noise in the universe for an entire day

 My favorite ambient noise from the whole series is the engine idling noise in TNG. I have cleaned up a sample from the show and then looped it for 24 hours. Great for ambiance and imagining that you're in deep space.
