Completely Random Thoughts

[RoninFox]

We bought a VHS to DVD converter so we can finally get rid of our several bins worth of old tapes.  For some reason I couldn't help but make my first conversion "WrestleMania IX".  Its the first wrestling pay per view I ever watched live, so perhaps there's some sentimental value I'm trying to preserve, but that doesn't stop the fact that it was pretty much the crappiest WrestleMania in history.

I think it comes down to this:  I want to make sure I can always have this event on hand to mock and remind myself that as bad as wrestling gets it can always be worse.  Also Bobby Heenan did commentary and Bobby Heenan is always awesome.

Why do First World countries need a bond rating? Is there really a trillionaire on Earth who is going to say "Hmmmm... the United States, eh? Never heard of it: tell me more".

Related, why do utility companies advertise? Anyone sitting around after the ad and saying, "hmm, yeah, think I fancy some electricity"?

"Wait, they'll pump the electricity right into your house?  And all this time I've been turning this massive crank to power my TV like a sucker."

and what's the deal with airline food?

I've always rather enjoyed the meals I've had on planes, especially Air India flights.

[RVR II]

I used to enjoy them.. When they were free

[Tripe]

Well yeah, I'm not going to pay them for the stuff, it's not like I'm ever that hungry on a flight.

Same for headphones.

I always wished that you could search for an image by showing the image to google and having google find similar images.  Yeah so that exists, and probably has for a long time, I just never bothered to look it up.  Now I no longer have to look like an idiot when I don't get a photo reference.  I need to remember to look things up more often, because my dreams most likely already exists.  Like my desire to set a movie as my desktop background: exists, and is awesome.
