brickfest 2005

brickfest 2005! wooha! lego-lovers united again in virginia for this years brickfest, the official convention of lego enthusiasts all over. im still in awe of some of the crazy things people build with legos. this years article pointed out how more people were using complex 3d rendering programs and algorithms to map out lego constructions. one microsoft software engineer even stated that microsoft planned on licensing the technology to software companies…word. also worth noting is that theres apparently a rivalry going on between the space and fantasy lego enthusiasts. who knew? im imagining a warriors scenario, with each side decked out in lego armor, wielding lego clubs and lego bats, ready for some serious geek-smacking.

oh, and check out that crazy replica of a 1943 japanese battle cruiser. yea…holy shit.

three-seats wide

there was a morbidly obese woman on my bus this morning taking up 3 seats. the reason i single her out is because as i was making my way to the back of the bus, i caught the tail-end of what sounded like her obnoxiously loud rant against somebody (i couldnt tell who as she was just hollering loudly in all directions). it sounded something along the lines of, “…i paid the bus fare too, i can do whatever the fuck i want…” which i took as the rebuttal to someone who may have criticized her enormous ass for filling 3 seats worth. with that mindset, she could also potentially argue (if she were fat enough) that she could just go ahead and commandeer the entire bus to accommodate her fat-ass-ness. *sigh*

and while we’re on the topic of dumb people…theres an old granny from new york whos suing rockstar games over recently surfaced sexual content in gta: san andreas. for those who may be unfamiliar with the news, a hacker had recently hacked and exposed hidden (and inaccessible) mini-games in gta: sa that involved sex. you’ll notice right off the bat that the article points out that she bought the game (originally rated: M for players over 17) for her 14 year-old grandson. so lets get this straight, she knowingly buys a MATURE game that involves gangs, violence, car jackings, etc for her 14 year-old grandson, but then gets her diapers in a knot when she finds out theres inaccessible sexual content and sues the game company. killing people is perfectly ok for her 14 year-old grandson, but for fucksakes, no simulated polygonal sex little boy. woman, you hypocritical dipshit. only in a country founded by quakers…
