Chasing Sermons

I don’t think anyone would be surprised to learn that for at least the last hour, there have been three people sitting with laptops in the lounge at my place.

Attached is a screen shot of iTunes that I got when subscribing to a podcast from a church in the States. Reading the “People also subscribed to” list in sequence is highly recommended.

If you don’t get it, don’t worry.

A Lightbulb Moment

I was watching TV one night earlier this week with someone who shall remain nameless when an ad for Channel 7s “The Rich List” came on. Feel free to identify yourself in the comments if you’d like to take responsibility.

If you haven’t seen the show, you’ve got two teams that play off against each other. During part of the game, individual teams need to communicate with the host, without the other team hearing the interaction. So, Andrew O’Keefe, of “Deal or no deal” fame, has two big red buttons on his desk. He tells the TV audience that these big red buttons make the “pods” containing the opposing teams, soundproof. It’s all rather simple really.

My TV watching counterpart had this question to ask me:

Person: “Hey Paul, you know how he presses those buttons? … Yeah, well… How could pressing a button make something soundproof?”

Me: “Um… I think you’ll find that the pods are soundproof to start with and the button just switches off the microphones and speakers inside them.”

I tried to back-pedal at this point and convince them that the buttons actually raised and lowered sets of hydraulic flaps off-camera… but it was all too late for that.

The person looked at me curiously for a few seconds, taking in the explanation. Then the light went on and they smiled sheepishly at me. Needless to say I’m not going to be letting this one go just yet.

An Icecream Man Joke

The driver of an ice-cream van has been found dead in his vehicle. He
was covered in hundreds and thousands and chocolate-dip. Police believe
he topped himself.

It was just too good not to share.  From the Jimeoin website.

Hmmmm… I think I’ve been warned…

Christian versions of the Mac vs. PC ads

I really like the points that these quite clever ad parodies raise.

Not-that-quick-connection hint: quickly play/pause the other ads so that they load while you’re watching the first one

Top 5 Reasons Why It’s Great To Be Single

5. Exclusive rights to the consumption of your own food
No one (unless they are just plain rude) thinks they have a right to share (read: steal) your food.

4. Transportational convenience
You can put stuff on your passenger seat

3. Efficient Task-Communication ratio
You don’t have to tell someone else what you’re doing all the time.
I really honestly don’t know how anyone can stand to be joined at the hip for large proportions of time. There are too many interesting things to do. Perhaps you have to find the other person interesting!

2. Prenuptial interrogative avoidance
No one asks you when you’re going to get married.
Well, no one above the age of 10 anyway.

1. Insufficient incentives for a paradigm shift
I haven’t met any girls who I’d gladly give those things up for!

This was linked on Bec’s blog and it made me chuckle just a bit, so I thought I’d share it with the rest of you.
