First, hotels you are paying for blow (there is nothing like staying on someone else's expense account). When you are paying for it, the constant nickel and diming for services you expect to be included (water, cart, telephone, parking, no leaks from the ceiling, etc.) makes one cheap and suspicious. Second, going along with the point of being nickled and dimed, when businesses like Panera Bread and hotels like the Crowne Plaza offer free wireless access, among numerous others, it seems insane when an hotel would charge you an exorbitant fee like $10 a day to provide it, especially when they would charge for phone service to use your old dial up.
Well, if you are ever in a hotel that entrusts their wireless service to Golden Tree.com, let me give you a little tip. They must be among the laziest programmers of all-time since they include the fee price in the query string of the URL. In other words, the web page they redirect you to when you attempt to access the Internet will have a very noticeable section that says fee=$insane price. I thought this variable would only affect the price displayed on the web page, but if you change this value to a number as large (like a $100) or small (like $1.00) as you feel appropriate, that will be the amount you are charged. Someone might say that this value could even be changed to an amount less than a dollar to be more fair. Btw, this really isn't a hack, as much as it was a modification to a contract the framer drafted with my input and I accepted...
Come back soon, Papa Doc. Who needs a MCL anyway? Just get rid of the whole thing. And seriously, why does Patrick Davidson have an ESPN page -- scrappy little guy?
While we are still waiting to hear back from Tarantino, we've been sitting on so much JLH information, that we have to let it out on this, her 26th birthday.
We didn't do a good job chronicling her sitcom, In the Game, because as you might expect after the cast changes, dropping the ESPN angle, pushing back the date, and various other denials - it was not ordered. But that doesn't mean she didn't have a happy Valentine's Day. However, those who are like me and cannot remember the last thing you watched her in, minus her appearance on Punked, you might have a chance in the near future to catch her on basic cable. This story points to an ad that leads one to believe she will be on a show on Oxygen called Confessions of a Sociopathic Social Climber - watch the video on the contest page if you are interested in hearing her say "want to come to my place later and hump like bunnies" and then seeing her dressed as a naughty bunny. Sounds like a tease to me, hopefully it will be the only other show on the network besides Good Girls Don't where a guy doesn't have to quickly change the channel if someone enters the room while he is watching it.
UPDATE:
If you are like me and like direct links, this is the closest usable one for the Windows Media Player version of the Confessions JLH clip.
However, I recommend, especially since I prefer quicktime, these one, (and as a bonus since I don't see them on the site yet) two, three direct links to the Confession clips. The first is arguably the best, but Love tries her best to also act cruel in the other two clips while riding the elevator and providing a wax job.
For those who don't know (or don't even have the faintest clue what I am writing about), the last great bastion of Bit Torrent tracking after the fall of suprnova.org, LokiTorrent, was shut down recently. This article speculates that the site's owner used the $40,000+ that was donated in his defense by his faithful users as a settlement with the MPAA in addition to turning over all the logs for the site. This is of course just speculation, but it would mean that individuals who could have used the money to buy copies of movies and music instead gave that money to a person who provided evidence that could be used against them by the copyright holders of these movies and music. If this is true, a new level of hell is being constructed for this person as you read.
The Charlotte 49ers have finally left the land of also receving votes and are ranked 23 in both the AP and Coaches' polls. This is actually only the 5th season they've been ranked in the top 25 for any part of it. Their all-time best ranking is 17th, which has occured in 3 of those seasons - including their Final Four year in 1977. The 49ers still have some very tough games left (Depaul, Memphis, and hopefully for the number one seed at Louisville) so it will be interesting to see how they journey through the rankings progresses.
North Dakota, in addition to holding a tie for the third most popular birthplace for Kissaboo authors, now has the distinction of having the highest rate of binge drinking in the country. Of course, "binge drinking" is defined as having 5 or more drinks in one sitting... and if you live by the Cash Money motto, that's just getting started.
Some of KissaBoo's occasional readers and even less frequent authors may wonder why there is a sudden resurgence in discussion on an old post mentioning Kill Bill Vol. 2. When I first posted the story, it was partly because there was not one web page on Google with the term "Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique", well guess what the number one page is for that phrase now? KissaBoo is now the default source for the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique and we have no plans on giving up the title. If Mr. Quentin Tarantino would like to send some free Kill Bill memorabilia to the authors of this site, that would be fine. We can then discuss my ideas on a prequel for Reservoir Dogs which involves a small cameo role for me with Jennifer Love Hewitt in a hot tub in her breakout comeback role.
Btw, if there are any other queries for which KissaBoo is number one (or at least makes the first page), besides the term KissaBoo, feel free to post.
P.S. For those who may be wondering, if you chop down the phrase to Five Point Palm, KissaBoo is number one for that and I am not sure how I feel about it.
The person I was watching the game with thought the commercial was by a start up, but if you are wondering if you will ever see that risque GoDaddy ad again on tv (not just Internet), the answer is that another spot was suppose to run at the end of the game but it was pulled. I thought these things were pre-screened? It seems pretty silly to object to that ad later at night when the cat is already out of the bag.
Update: For those interested, this post claims that the star of the commercial, Nikki Cappelli, is Candice Michelle, who has been in a lot of things I've seen that I don't remember her from.
