- Ecru is a color
- - Greyish-pale yellow, or yellowish brown.
- - - My undiscerning eye calls it “tan”
- - - According to the ISCC-NBS, the hex code is #C2B280.

- So people fight.
- So girls are people.
- So girls fight.
- Fights are entertaining. Right or not, they’re entertaining.
- - In my humble opinion, girl fights are at least slightly more entertaining than guy fights.
- When people do entertaining things, they get videoed.
- Videos get put on YouTube.
- So girl fight videos are being uploaded to YouTube.
- - Q.E.D.
- Why now?
- - CBS’s lamely-named show CRIMESIDER did a special report on the growing trend of girl fight videos on YouTube.
- - - Note: The use of the term “Growing Trend,” which implies a trend that is growing, does not actually hold any statistical relevance in this case.
- - - - In fact, according to CBS they actually lack any statistics on the “Growing Trend.”
- - - - - They just saw some videos on YouTube.
- - I was going to talk about how being videoed may make them fight more, or about how adults in the videos really should be breaking up the fights and not (I presume) helping run the camera, or perhaps wax poetical about the degredation of society.
- - - But really I just want to link to a few of the videos.
- - - - Hair-pulling goodness
- - - - Too bad it’s sideways

- FOTSFTWE 2/6/09
- - Here are my notes which are as true this year as they were last:
- He did
- - At least Punxsutawney Phil did; I don’t know about any of the other weather forecasting ground hogs
- - - Or, more accurately, his handlers claim he did, on account of it being fairly sunny and all
- - - - Legend has it this means that we will not have an early spring, and are instead in for six more weeks of winter
- - In related news, legend also has it that there has been one Punxsutawney Phil forecasting at Gobblers Knob in Punxsutawney, PA for the last 121 years
- - - He gets a sip of the “elixir of life” every spring
- - - - Legend also says that his accuracy is 100%
- - - - - But the silly facts say his predictions have been 39% accurate
- Why now?
- - It was totally Groundhog Day
- - - So, put your tiny hand in mine; There ain’t no hill or mountain we can’t climb
3. flamangos whitehouse nj (SAM)
- A tropical jungle resturant in a hotel from mid 1800s in the middle of New Jersey.
- Well, that was until Gordon got his hands on it.
- And the management was someone who just liked to yell at people and argue about the food.
- Including about how hot the meal was, even when returned.
- And yelling at the customers about all they wanted was free food.
- Again, unnder Gordon apparently a dramatic attitude change.
- And a change of menu, staff, decore and pretty much everything else you can change without moving out.
- It aired on Kitchen Nightmares tonight.
Related Term: 4.the junction whitehouse station nj
2. iphone 3.1.3 (New version came out)

- 1 from Sean
- - District 13
- - District 13: Ultimatum
When I last left off, I was in the Nazi Nunnery, trapped in the Corridor of Death. I had no option but to take cover behind the very radar consoles I was supposed to sabotage. The heavy guns did a real number on the machinery, which only left two consoles to deal with. Unfortunately, they were placed behind the machine gun nests that had me pinned down.
I lunged into the Corridor, tossed one grenade in one direction, another in the other and dove back behind cover. The sounds of explosions and sparking electricity told me that the L’Ossuaire radar station was finally out of business. It wasn’t until I left cover again that I learned the grenades had destroyed the radar consoles but not the machine gun nests guarding them.
And they say the Irish are lucky.
I put my head down and ran out of the nunnery, bullets whizzing past my ears. The whole abbey was swarming with Nazis, but my faithful Thompson barked at them and drove them back. I jumped into the Bugatti, whipped into a bootleg turn and got the hell out of there.
At least, that was the plan. Suddenly, a German armored personnel carrier came flying out of the underbrush and t-boned my Bugatti! Two more APCs crashed into me, and I suddenly found myself pinned between a stone wall and 6 tons of Nazi armored vehicle.
Bob, you might want to stop reading now. I had no choice but to slap a remote-detonation charge on the dashboard of the Bugatti, hurl myself over the stone wall, and push the plunger. The resulting fireball claimed the Bugatti and all three of the APCs. The loss of three armored vehicles on top of their radar station enraged the Nazis to a level I had not yet seen. In another time and place, it might have been known as a “4-star wanted rating”. And I was now without a vehicle.
I ran through the briars and I ran through the brambles. I ran through the bushes where the rabbits couldn’t go. I wound my way through silent farming villages and shimmering fields of grain. Finally, I crossed a river and found myself on the outskirts of Paris as the sirens ceased their cry. I had slipped through the net.
I staggered to the nearest Resistance safehouse, hoping to find a safe place to collapse. Alas, things had been happening while I was away. The head of my Resistance cell had been contacted by a cell in another part of the city, and wanted to form an alliance. I had grown used to being an Emissary of Death. Now, I was to be an Emissary of Peace…

- THe police are investigating, but it seems to point to a pre exhisting condition.

- - Let’s just skip to the why now, shall we?
- Why now?
- - It had to change its name
- - - Not because of the slang usage of “beaver”
- - - - But because so many porn filters blocked access to their site because of it
- - - - - Stephen Colbert, therefore, urged his viewers to define “Canada’s History” as something dirty on Urban Dictionary

14. nbc black history month menu (WES)
- This whole thing is a big “Why Now”
- So in honor of Black History Month, NBC’s cafeteria had the following on their menu:
- - Fried Chicken
- - Collard Greens
- - Black Eyed Peas
- - Cornbread
- - - Actually sounds like a good meal.
- - - - If a tad insensitive.
- - - - - And where’s the watermelon slice?
- So the drummer for Jimmy Fallon’s show thought it was funny.
- - He snapped a picture of it on his cell phone and uploaded it to TwitPic
- - - And the interwebs asploded.
- I’m just gonna give the facts because every other “web journalist” worth half his salt has already weighed in.
- - And I’m probably not even worth a quarter of my salt.
- - - But anyway
- - The “NBC Cafeteria” is in no way run by NBC, so they’re in the clear.
- - The head chef in said cafeteria is black.
- - - So I presume had no ill intent.
- - The Drummer thought it was funny, not mean.
- - - Though even as the meme starter, he doesn’t have the automatic right to say which direction the meme takes.
- - Equating fried chicken to black people is one of the older insults.
- - - One I don’t fully understand. So black people love chicken cooked in one of the tastiest ways possible. Ooooh how lame!
- - However, as this is one of the more well-known racial jokes… maybe the chef should have saved the tasty menu for another time.
13. harry knox (Obama appointee for Faith-based whatever stuff. Unknown why now)
12. charlie sheen suv (SAM)
- So…I totally read a story about his stolen SUV found in a ravine.

- Onstar woke him up at 4am when the airbags deployed.
- nor were any bodies found in or near the car.

- Well, it’s unusual the drunk sheen didn’t do something stupid.
- Unless they find his finger prints on the back of the suv.
11. gigi jordan (Killed her son, then failed to commit suicide)
10. mcclure s pickles (Company. On the Food Network’s Best Thing I Ever Ate)
9. qubits (BOB)
- A unit of quantum information
- - Similar to a digital bit (on/off)
- - - But it can hold an additional value which is a superposition of the two states (on AND off)
- - - - Quantum mechanics is weird
- - - - - Once read, however, the qubit is effectively the same as a digital bit
- - - - In its unread state, it’s useful in quantum computing
- - - - - In ways that are over my head, I’m ashamed to say
- Why now?
- - I’ve no idea
- Why really now?
- - Fine
- - - There’s a building toy by the same name
- - - - Which appeared on Shark Tank
- - - - - The inventor took an offer of $90K for 51% of his business

3. nubrella (WES)

- - To me it looks like someone put plastic wrap over a baby carriage bonnet, and then threw away the carriage.
- - - And then put the whole contraption on thier head.
- - Engadget describes it as “Tomorrow’s Fashion Mistake, Today!”
- - - Actually, they described it as such in February of 2008.
- So why now?
- - Shark Tank!
- - - The insanely popular product needs just a little more cash to reach the success levels of the Segway or the Cuppa Pizza.
- - So how’d he do?
- - - He wanted $200,000 for 25% of the company.
- - - I can’t tell for sure, but it appears he gave up 51% of his company for $100,000.
- They totally need to get Rihanna to redo her song with the name. They’ll sell bajillions. -The Blob 2/8/10 5:48 PM

Explicit Warning if missed
* Teh Volcanipedia entry is teh done.
* http://www.crazynutso.com/volcanipedia/tiki-index.php?page=Week+Ending+February+5+2010
* I didn’t watch the Superbowl, as I was trying to get a snowblower so I’d be able to get my car from the top of my driveway to my garage.
* I did watch some of the comercials, though.
** Abe Vigoda/Betty White commercial was pretty funny.
** As was the ‘Family Vacation’ one.
* The Groundhog Day running gag still sucks.
* PA is now using the Groundhog to sell lottery tickets. As if predicting the weather wasn’t bad enough.
* The nubrella is only a slight modification on those umbrella hat things they used to have.
** But they didn’t call it the ‘originella’ so. . .
* I second the vote for more Hooters on the show.
* Plus you need to turn that web cam, as the angle when Sam flashed was not good.
P-b-P:
* Note: My point-by-points have been confusing in the past, as I was being intentionally vague on what I was replying to. I thought it would be funny, but I think it was more confusing. I will refrain in the future :)
* (Your post)
* I also liked the Betty White football commercial.
* The Vacation commercial made me sad. They look so old!
* Under my originella -ella -ella…
* Hey, it’s better than “…so put your tiny hand in mine…”
* More Hooters, or more hooters?
* Sam would have to be at least 50 more years old for her to have flashed anything.
* (Volcanipedia… it’s good)
* I don’t understand your Miss America point. Did you mean “…sucked this much, did they?”
* I’ve never heard of Girl Fight Tonight, and can’t watch YouTube videos here. If I ever think about it I’ll check it out later.
* …so put your tiny hand in mine…
* Regarding the stolen candle, I am saddened that I didn’t think to make a “waxy buildup” joke.
* It’s not a damn death bell. It’s just a death bell.
* * Ding ding ding!
* * * …so put your tiny hand in mine…
* Regarding cubits/qubits, you may be thinking of something different than we were thinking…
* Agree on Vacation/old.
* More Hooters, or more hooters? YES! (or yes, please! As Sam would say)
* Probably that’s what I meant.
* Girl Fight Tonight is by Julie Brown, not the MTV V-jay, but the one who also did “The Homecoming Queen’s got a Gun”
* It is the death bell of the damned.
* Running joke is funnier when Bob’s not doing it. Must be the delivery.
* Being that Bob’s joke was based on talking about a different qubit then the one he was talking about, I think I’m OK.
* The new snowblower is teh r0ck0r (’leet’ speech there for annoyance of Bob effect) but I hope today’s snowfall doesn’t require it.
* Sam talked about being on her knees and I didn’t reference it or anything. Well, until now, that is.
And the Tangentcast is up! http://planetretcon.com/podcast/volcanicast_tangentcast_20100205.mp3
Enjoy! Or at least try!
* and I’ve updated the feed as well.
** I wonder if anyone (aside from me) subscribes to the tangentcast rss feed?
** It’s a convinient way to get the crap onto your Ipod or whatever.
** I’d submit it to Itunes if I had any idea how to do so.
* As much as the last snow sucked, at least it didn’t have this F***in’ wind.
I am a bit iPod illiterate - still trying to figure it out :oP
I’ve got it figured out through iTunes, but I can NOT, for the life of me, figure out how to get the tangent feeds on my iPod. Help?? I am an idiot…
* Always happy to help Hooters:
** Copy the following link:
** http://www.crazynutso.com/volcanipedia/MP3%20files/tangentcast.xml
** In iTunes, click on ‘Advanced’ while you’re viewing the ‘podcasts’ in your library.
**The second thing in the dropdown menu should be ’subscribe to podcast’. Click that.
** A box will pop up, asking you for the URL. Copy the above link into the box and press ‘OK’.
** You should now have ‘Volcanicast Tangents’ in your Podcast directory. HUZZAH!
*Guess I should actually subscribe to the Tangent cast instead of listening it from the site.
*CN loves helping Hooters.
*I wanna help Hooters
* I’m subscribed to the feed!
* * As of today :)
* * And yes, it’s a little redundant as I already have the file, but hey, a download’s a download.
* And I put a subscribe link in the Intro section at the top of the front page.
* I’ll also put a link into the sidebar.
* * When I remember how.
* Good luck with that.
* The RSS feed is mostly for me.
* It puts the crap on my iPod easily.
* So I can listen to it while doing menial tasks at work.
* Which is to say, all tasks at work.
* I like to listen to comedy podcasts, but some make me laugh out loud, which can be awkward.
* Volcanicast & it’s tangents don’t give me that problem.
** I KEED!
* Already did it! So I guess I was previously lucky.
* RSS is for EVERYBODY!
* Actually, I think you just defined “podcast”
* I don’t listen to podcasts at work.
* * Not because I find they distract me from work.
* * I find that work distracts me from my podcasts.
* * * So I listen to music there, and podcasts everywhere else.
* HAW HAW HAW
Hooters will be in the house tonight - WOO HOO!!
Thanks for the help Nutso.
* Awesome!!
* You’re welcome!
Now if only we knew if Bob was going to show up…
I thought bob said about 8:30 ish? but he would have already eaten?
He also said, or at least implied, that he’d eventually draft and research :)
Oh that wacky Bob.
