Groomsman Needed
posted by Geoff on May 19, 2007 @ 11:58PM

Hey, I need a few good groomsman for the wedding (September 2nd). Technically, I need all of you men. I acquired Marc to play the best man, so that is taken care of (Steve I thought of you, and then I remembered when you threw me into the door...jk :)


Really, all of you would be my best men up there and it would be an honor to have you all by my side. I'm not exactly sure when all of you will be back in Syracuse, but I was thinking around July 4th may be a good time to try on some penguin suits if anybody will be around. Let me know if your in, I hear there is a big game of golf for the few good men who help me out!

Harbor Freight Tools
posted by Geoff on June 16, 2007 @ 2:10PM

If you don't have a Harbor Freight Tools shop close by, your in luck! (Because they suck!)

In the latest return, I bought a paint spray gun to use with my compressor (which I also bought form HFT). To no surprise, it didn't spray paint...none, not even a spec. Granted I used latex paint, which is pretty darn thick, but hey, this thing said it could do it.

Now if I had to return one item because it didn't work at all, I wouldn't be so ticked, but this is the 3rd out of 5 items I've bought (and let me remind you the two that do work, don't work that well). I bought a drywall screwdriver, specifically for hanging drywall, sure surprise surprise, I couldn't get it to screw anything into my studs. And on the topic of studs, I bought a nifty stud finder with attached flashlight?!? Well, of course it didn't find any studs at all, I wonder what holds up my walls. To the stud finder's merit, the flashlight did work, though I don't know why one would need it.

So, I would like to know anyone else who have purchased from here and if they have had any better luck. I know Steve shopped here, not sure if he ran into the same problems or not. From my experience, you definitely get what you pay for...nothing!

This blog is apparently OK for kids

Online Dating

Today, that is.  Some days, we'd probably get rated worse.   For your reference, FARK.com is rated R, FoxNews.com is rated R, CNN is PG-13, and Yahoo is G.

Transformers
posted by Geoff on July 3, 2007 @ 2:13AM

This is a must see movie....the special effects alone are worth seeing. It's a fun movie, but the ending is just ridiculous...the first movie, IMO, that has surpassed the Matrix in special effects.

Fair Tax

FairTax

Any of you heard of this? For or Against? Why or why not? Sounds like a good idea to me, though I doubt it will ever happen.

Federal Do Not Call List expiring soon!
posted by GJ on September 5, 2007 @ 10:50AM

This program was launched five years ago.  If you registered at that time, you probably didn't realize your registration expires at the end of five years.  So, if I were you, head out to the site and enter your home and cell numbers.  You'll be glad you did.

Stalking...what to do if...
posted by GJ on October 8, 2007 @ 1:18PM

This is a very interesting story about stalking--no, not the typical guy stalking a girl variety, but stalking is stalking and there are some great tips in it.  There are some nasty words near the top of the article, of the f*** variety, so you may wish to consider this NSFW.

Check scams....read this, even if you think you're too smart to fall for one
posted by GJ on October 9, 2007 @ 7:25PM

One of my favorite consumer advocate blogs has a post about cashier check scams.  Say what?  You thought cashier's checks were way more valid than personal checks?  That they're verified in some fashion by the issuing bank?  Me too.  Like I said, read it!

Have they finally fingered D.B. Cooper?
posted by GJ on October 23, 2007 @ 5:50AM

Every few years, or so it seems, a new suspect is announced as possibly being the infamous D.B. Cooper, who to this date remains the only uncaught skyjacker on U.S. soil.  Guess what?  There is a new suspect!  While it's not 100% solid, it's an interesting read.
