leslie neilsen passed away today at the age of 84.
surely you can’t be serious?
i know that leslie nielsen was partially responsible for the sarcastic tongue i have, to the chagrin of the real-life leslee in my life. i will be re-watching the airplane movies this week in tribute to the passing of this comedic genius.
i am serious, and stop calling me shirley.
bonus video:
i said the world ‘google’ the other day and mateo took notice. he’s only 2 so i couldn’t quite explain what a ‘googol’ really is but it was good reason to re-read the wiki article about the googol and the larger googolplex.
so, a googol is 10^100 power, or a 10 with 100 zero’s after it like this:
10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
(in the short scale, it’s actually ten duotrigintillion, which sounds equally impressive)
there is an even bigger number called the googolplex, which is 10^googol. carl sagan estimated that writing a googolplex in numerals would be physically impossible, since doing so would require more space than the known universe provides. that is sexy.
interesting note: the term ‘googol’ was coined by a nine-year-old nephew of a mathematician
interesting note +1: the kids cartoon phineas and ferb live near a mall called the ‘googolplex’
speaking of phineas and ferb, here’s a cool article in wired about the people behind it [wired magazine]
-> john mccain and other celebs crash ordinary people’s house parties [imgur]
-> the US has double the teen pregnancy and STD rate of the netherlands, despite the dutch having much more liberal viewpoints on their adolescent sexual tendencies [advocates for youth]
-> everyone in the house was rooting against bristol palin in tv’s dancing with the stars. that feeling was confirmed after glancing at the tv and seeing her performance. this man took it one step further [TMZ]
-> imagine making a healthier and tastier mcrib sandwich at home [saveur]
against my mother’s wishes, the doyle boys went out to big basin park today to avoid the day-after thanksgiving shopping nightmares (see below). it was a little nipply but it got a little warmer once we got our legs moving. some more pics in the photos section.
“his mother has a tattoo that reads ‘son'”
“if he disagrees with you, it is because you are wrong”
“he wears old spice. that’s right, you heard me”
local favorite jeremy lin is getting some playing time for the warriors, and not junk time. he’s got a scant 5 total points in the 5 games he’s appeared in (a rousing 1.0ppg, not unlike my longhorn tournament days), but he’s got lots of hustle stats like 8 assists and 9 steals. it would have been cool to see him play at paly, victimizing the non-yellow skin color people he was playing with.
i was trying to get my jeremy lin t-shirt this morning, but my card was declined. F bank of america.
this is still one of my favorite basketball pictures of all time – jeremy lin rejecting uconn’s jerome dyson. sit down clown [sitdownclown.com]
so, if you are reading this, then you are one of the handful of legitimate visitors to doylez.com. i get quite a bit of traffic but most of it is by referral because of a few funny pictures on the site, or because i have some interesting word patterns that people are searching for on google (“bruce bochy big head”, “megan fox peter north”, and “kate beckinsale feet”).
the reward for my loyal viewers is a collection of links to other sites that i have carefully selected and held to the highest standard in an attempt to humor you, even just for a moment:
-> this guy has some excellent 3d artwork. it would be great to put a drawing like this on someone’s desk in a dimly-lit room and catch their reaction [my modern met]
-> damn you autocorrect! [damnyouautocorrect.com]
-> a site full of 5-second movies for the ADHD-inclined. if done right, could also be a good porn site for guys that blow too early [5 second movies]
-> with nicknames as the ‘fuck truck’ and ‘cuddle shuttle’, how can anyone have negative thoughts of the wellesley college student bus service [wikipedia]
-> i’m getting closer to acquiring my canon eos 7d. i wanted to get it before christmas but i made the mature decision to pay my rent and feed my family first [dpreview]
and…
-> can someone come pick me up to visit Your Coffee Cups in Warm Springs so I don’t go alone? the 1992 ford escort station wagon, similar to the one below, only adds to the perv profile [the argus] and [your coffee cups]
i never miss a chance to catch some yo gabba gabba with the boys. who can’t love dj lance rock? maybe conservatards in iowa?
aubrey huff brought his red rally thong to the party yesterday.
we were lucky enough to get a close enough spot on market street to catch the giants players. we didn’t have a good plan this morning so we got there kinda late. i got pictures of a few players that were facing us.
^ jeremy affeldt
^ madison bumgarner
^ mike fontenot
^ tim lincecum
^ buster posey (being interviewed by amy g – video below)
^ cody ross
^ aaron rowand
^ jonathan sanchez
^ nate schierholtz
it would have been nice to get there a little earlier and stake out a good spot to take better pictures, but it was cool just to be there.
with one swing of the bat, edgar renteria makes winners of the giants in 2010.
we shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves because the rangers are still a pretty good team, in spite of what they have shown this whole series. bumgarner pitched a gem and we had some timely hitting.
the face of this rangers fan says it all:
i had like 15 trick or treaters come by the house for candy last night. maybe they were all watching the giants game? considering how the boys like their cartoon characters so much, i think next year we have to get more creative and dress them up in something original, like these:
^ perry the platypus
^ where the wild things are
^ thomas the tank engine
then, there are ones that only adults would get:
^ the original cock sauce
^ lando calrissian
^ a jaeger bomber
^ ace and gary
^ a droog with some moloko
some good signs from this past weekend’s sanity vs reality rally at the national mall in dc.
