Here are a few things I have been thinking about this week. What did Lorraine McFly, think when she first saw a Calvin Klein ad? Why is the company that makes my fan called “Toastmaster?” It seems like it’s doing the opposite of toasting. Do webpages stop existing when we don’t visit them? Like a tree falling in the forest, or if the light bulb turns off when the fridge door closes, the world may never know. So you can either go ask Mr. Owl, or just look at these links and know they do exist in the moment we want them to.

It’s Friday and the start of a three-day weekend, which means nothing when you’re between jobs, but exciting for the rest of you! But it should be a good weekend, with college football, DVD commentary and the usual Labor Day bbqs! But first we have some minor league baseball, some major league baseball, and Willie Nelson. So jump in and let’s ride this whiskey river.

Another week has found its way to Friday. I hope your weekend is filled with fun and good times. I will be attending the adult Warped Tour known as Riot Fest to enjoy some punk rock, hip-hop, and that one song by System of the Down I like. But before I get to all that, there’s some internet that needs to be surfed, and you need to look busy while killing a few office hours. Together we overcome these obstacles. Now throw a brick, light the fuse, dodge a bullet, duck inside because I wanna riot!

One of the things I already miss about work is knowing what day it is. Sure on occasion I would wake up and be off a day, but for the most part I would know. In this first week off I have had to check the calendar several times. Now I’m pretty sure this being posted on Friday, but if not, then happy pre or post Friday. Boy did I devolve into a mess quickly, but that’s enough about me, let’s get to the links.

This is a new Friday for me. Assuming you’re reading this Friday morning, I am in the midst of the final hours of my job. Soon I will start suckling at the severance teat. As such, I’m not sure if this is a happy Friday, or exactly what adjective I would use to describe it. It is a Friday. Also, since this is the last day of the Denver office, the internet at work was shut down on Monday. So I wasn’t able to browse the net like normal and scoop up a bunch of links like the sun on the raisin bran box scooping up raisins. I apologize for the short entry today, but next week there should be plenty more. You’re going to benefit from time off.

When my friend got her puppy and told me her name was Piper my response was, “Like Rowdy Roddy?” She was less than amused. But there was never a moment when Rowdy Roddy Piper didn’t amuse those who watched him in the ring, in Piper’s Pit, or fighting off aliens. Piper was a beloved entertainer, I remember squealing a little when he showed up on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and even watched an episode of Wife Swap because he was on it. He swapped wives with Ric Flair. It’s kind of awesome, sad, and exactly what you expect. I was very sad to hear the news of his passing last Friday. The WWE had this excellent tribute to him on Monday night’s Raw. The best I can do is dedicate this Happy Friday to him. It’s slightly better than nothing.

Now I came here to chew bubble gum and waste your Friday. And I’m all out of bubble gum!

After an unusual week of work, though since I have never closed down an office before, they’re all fairly unusual, it’s time to let loose. But this weekend will involve some work as well, but fun work. Something I look forward to but it will be taxing. More on that in a bit and next week. First let’s get to some time-wasting fun with a physics video, cartoon complaints, and drug testing. Happy Friday, let’s walk this dog.
