Numbers don’t lie
Perhaps numbers do lie, but so far I haven’t met any that do. Recently, I’ve had a few experiences which have led me to the conclusion that numbers don’t lie. This is probably one of the strangest posts I’ve ever authored, but stay with me.
IP Addresses don’t lie
Last week Zach was nice enough to fill my mind with worthless bits about a guy that, back in 2000, claimed to have come from the future via our past. Sound strange? Well, I was intrigued enough to give a few web sites a read which were based, not-so-loosely, on this Time Traveler’s claims. I have to say, a lot of what was debated back in 2000-01 was very compelling. Be-that-as-it-may, I thought it entertaining to join an IRC channel, now over 3 years since this Traveler’s last correspondance, pretending to be the one John Titor. Not being able to track down the original IRC channels that this fella chatted in, I decided to pop into my usual hang-out #wordpress.
My original goal for this was merely to boulster a charge out of a few of the normal visitors of #wordpress, and to see if I could make this hoax last 7 days. It went rather well, and I succeeded, but only for 2 days. On the third day, one of the people in the channel decided to figure me out. It wasn’t hard to figure out who I was, as previously stated, I am no IRC aficionado. That being said, I had my laughs. Masquerade, blogged about his findings and posted some of the chat transcripts.
Clothing Sizes don’t lie
Fat, also known as cellulite, is squishy. I’ve got over 20 pounds, more than I should, of it - so I can make this statement from an experts point of view. I have a bone to pick with women that don’t realize that they are not teen runway models. Allow me to explain.
Lately, the trend in young-women’s fashion, at least in my little place on the globe, has been hip hugger jeans with tight t-shirt tops which show off your mid-section. Most men, including me, would say that they are fine with this fashion on the whole. However, when a woman decides to adorn herself with said attire, we men (yes all of us) ask that you first consider the size of jeans your supposed to be wearing. Yes, we know, your going to lose weight. But come on, we don’t need 10 pounds of blubber hanging down on each side of your body to be staring at us in the face when we ask you to get us a shirt from the top shelf at a clothing store. We don’t want to see a belly-ring that looks like it peirced the blow-hole of Shamu. And, almost certainly, we never want to see what would happen if your belt, which is 2 sizes too small and 5 holes too tight, broke. I’m thinking it would look like a scene from The Day After Tomorrow when New York City was flooded due to Polar Ice Caps melting.
This has been a something that I’ve been thinking of saying for a while, and really I have no way better to put it. It’s not that these women are bad looking, or that I have something against women that have a few extra pounds, because I’m not saying that at all. I’m against women that, when they look in the mirror, see someone that is 35 pounds lighter, has a record deal with Sony, and is marrying an extra from You Got Served.
