Married Bits of Disparate Ideation: A Contest Weiner and My New Pod
Without further ado (and not exactly an assload of fanfare):
The winner of the First Annual HBDC Chicken Separatin’, Petrochemical Ingestin’, Slim Jim Countin’ Contest of Lurve is:
Mokiejovis, with his (very first guess, the lucky shit) of 134; the actual number of ‘Jims being 133. Mr. Jovis, I’ll be getting in touch with some of my less scrupulous friends down at Ft. Meade to ascertain your mailing address, so watch your mailbox. Like a hawk.
Its too bad you didn’t get it on the head – I would’ve coughed up a finsky for that kind of stickpin voodoo craziness. As it is, you’ve pretty much convinced me that you’re Rain Man. I hope you’re happy. Expect your goodies in the next few weeks, or if I ever do make it to one of those Happy Hour things, I’ll deliver ‘em thataway. As for the rest of you, don't feel too bad, you were up against a ringer. Stay tuned for more pointless giveaways, though — you'll get yo' chance.
Unrelated Bit : Oh yeah, and I finally got my iPod. Other than the UI being almost too stupid-simple for it’s own good (iTunes: seriously, designed by cracked-out spider monkeys.), and having a quoted battery life that is almost criminally inaccurate, I like being able to listen to Jamiroquai on the shitter. A few small snapshots, of course…
8 Missives So Far

Now slap that skin on it before breathing on it and the ambient noise of your refrigerator puts scratches on the screen. :) I bought my wife a white 5th gen for Christmas, BTW. I'm still rocking the white 4th gen.

I bought an iPod Nano about 2 months back. I'm hoping to get a video (white) sometime this year.

To be honest, I bought it for the 30G part rather than the video part, though I can see having Fight Club and MTV's The Maxx (and whatever else I dig up) stashed on it will come in quite handy some day (Battery life in video mode: ~2 hours -- suckass to say the least). The 30G part represents a good chunk of tunes for my upcoming cross-country asshaulin', which was my excuse for spending the money in the first place.

The 30G part is nice. I got the 4G Nano, so not a whole lot of space compared to whats on my HDD. So, upgrading later on will help.

Now that the contest is over, I want one o' them Slim Jims. Yum.

Gee, I'd sure like to oblige -- but 2 weeks plus 4 guys plus a case or two of domestic beer plus playoff football has completely decimated the local Slim Jim population.
Next go-'round I might actually make the prize a box of slimjimminess... what a novel idea.
