KGB – Paid Monkies

Author: Joel The Great  |  Category: Rants  |  Comment (1)  |  Add Comment

You have to be shitting me.  You people cannot be so retarded to use this service can you?

What the hell is KGB? Not the Russian KGB, they were cool. The KGB I’m talking about is… well, KGB is this new ’service’ as they call it.  You can send them a text message with a question and they will text you back an answer.  For 99 cents (and whatever text/data charges your cell provider adds on).   Read more…

Alright, it’s been a month since I started my contested (http://www.joelthegreat.com/?p=641) to give away a copy of Half Life 2.  I received 14 entries, 11 of them being eligible, of the 25 that was required.  So I’m canceling the contest.  Sorry to everyone who entered.  At the rate it was going, I’d be able to give it away probably in 2011.

Violent Acres – Now Retarded Acres

Back many years ago I ran across a blog called ‘Violent Acres‘ It was a pretty decent blog, the writer had a lovely fury and great writing style.  In fact, it was one of the Blogs I read that got me thinking of starting my own blog (Even if my blog is crappy).   I even referred to that blog in one of my earlier blog posts, as seen here.

It’s been 6 months since she last updated Violent Acres, and now that she has, I think it may have changed to Retarded Acres.  Read more…

Shopping – A Triple Rant

Author: Joel The Great  |  Category: Rants  |  Comment (1)  |  Add Comment

We are all consumer whores (and how!).  Deal with it.  We have to buy things at a constant rate.  Food, clothes, hookers, baby seal meat, ammunition, pizza, whatever.

So as I was wondering around the local consumer emporium where I purchase things like garbage bags, razor blades, ammonia and songs to drown out the victims screaming…background noise…yes…  So I was shopping, and I realized three things (besides the express line) that could be fixed to make everyones shopping experience more enjoyable.

New Flight Rules – Defining Retarded

Author: Joel The Great  |  Category: Rants  |  Comment (1)  |  Add Comment

Okay, so in my great quest to do as little work as possible, I was surfing the interwebs at work when I came across the new Homeland Security rules for airlines in regards to that retarded underwear bomber that failed at his one job. His failure was almost of epic proportions as he nearly burned his crotch off.  (News article here if you live under a rock).

Anyways, here are the new rules pulled from Gizmodo.com: Read more…

Time for a small anatomy lesson.  Humans can see best with their eyes in which direction?  That’s right, in front of them.

Why is that important?

Contest – Free Copy Of Half Life 2!

Author: Joel The Great  |  Category: Site News  |  Comments (15)  |  Add Comment

Many Years ago I bought Half-Life 2 when it came out.  Then some years passed and I bought the Orange Box during a sale, which also came with a copy of Half-Life 2.  So here I am years later, and I still have 1 (one) copy of Half-Life 2 that I can give away as a ‘gift.’  *(If you do not know what Half-Life 2 is, please see the bottom of this page)*

I thought of selling it, or trying to trade it, but I though it’d be better to give it away.  And what’s the best way to get rid of crap stuff you don’t want?  A CONTEST! Read more…
