Slow Motion Cameras - I love that almost every network as decided to use the slow motion (especially Ulitmo from ESPN!) for sporting events. I love it. I actually exclaim, "I LOVE SLOW MOTION", pretty much every time it is used. Here is a link to a slow motion video of one of my other loves, Roger Federer. In a platonic way though...not the actual love...not that I agree with Tim Hardaway...crap.
Tell me slow motion doesn't rule! Especially when it is someone as dreamy as The Fed...crap, I did it again.
Why Not? - This is a really good book about problem solving and using your brain in a non-linear way. Sounds dorky, but it's really good. I also added a link to their website. It has a cool community of people who work on ideas and innovations together. Check it out.
String Cheese - I have often talked about my top 3 innovations of the 20th century. They are:
Computers
Slow Motion Cameras
String Cheese
I don't know why I like string cheese so much. Probably because it is delicious. I usually do the super thin string slices for a while then I get impatient and jam the rest in my mouth because I can't contain my excitement anymore.
Scarlett Johansson - Scarlett continues her undefeated streak on the Top 7. I'm not sure she will ever lose her crown either. Really, this is a Top 6 + Scarlett list.
Microwave Ovens - I know this has been said before, and it is not an original joke...but I love directions on the boxes of microwave food. If cooking in oven - cook 45 minutes at 350 degrees. If cooking in a microwave cook for 10 seconds HOW ARE THOSE EQUIVALENT - AND HOW IS IT SAFE TO EAT?!?!? Amazing.
Jet Fueled NASCAR Cheaters - I love this story. They put jet fuel in the car. That leaves me with a funny image of the car taking off, but still completing the race in the air...then landing softly in the winners circle. hehe. My question is this: Shouldn't there be a 50 game suspension like in baseball? He added a performance enhancing chemical to the car's system! He should be blackballed from the Hall of Fame. If McGwire can't get in, and there is no empirical proof that he did anything wrong, then Rusty or Darrell or whatever this person's name is should be banned too! Plus, NASCAR is gay.
Putting the Franchise Tag on Justin Smith - Oh wait...this is supposed to be a list of things that I LIKE. My bad. I've already gone this far though. Justin Smith is not worth the money and is an average player. This better just be a case where they are going to trade him or resign him to a long term deal. It better be. {shaking fist}
Local News and Local Commercials - Probably the commercials more than the news, but both are equally funny. Usually pretty poorly done. Almost every night as I watch the news I get to laugh and mock the stupid newspeople. Sometimes they do a sad story and it's innapropriate to laugh though. When that happens I bide my time until the next flub or misspoken word. Then my time of glee can return!!!
