Free Beer is Awesome At 7:55 PM by: Hiro |
So a couple of nights ago Nana and I went to On Tap for a....um I'm not quite sure what it was. A frat (Tom, a friend of ours is in it) was trying to get people together or something on a Wednesday night (at a bar that's not-so-popular on a Wednesday night) under the guise of a big event. Right. Well, we went to support anyway. Anyway, I think there were like 80 people total. Er wait, 40 if I don't count the drunken double vision. HOWEVER!!! (triple exclamation for dramatic effect) the three of us were sitting at a booth and a really hot chick comes up to us telling she's some Bavaria promotionalist or something and there's some free stuff to be had if we went and started drinking Bavaria (instead of our non-Bavarian beers we were drinking). So yeah we get a round of Bavaria (thanks Tom) and we each got free t-shirts. And then we ask Tom how much the Bavarias were. 6 bucks...each. Compared to the 3 bucks for other beers. Initial evaluation of the situation: "Shit that's expensive!"
The moral of the story? We each got t-shirts for 6 bucks and got a FREE BEER. True story.
The Oil-for-Food Program scandal is something you may have heard recently in the news. To put it simply, the program itself was designed as a way for Iraq to sell its ridiculous amounts of oil to the world market so it could buy goods for its citizens like food and medicine while preventing them from using that money to buy weapons. When oil was sold, the buyer would pay the money to an escrow account (a middleman to hold money) and then Iraq could spend money from that account to buy...well, food. What ended up happening was Iraq would buy goods, using money from that escrow account, from bribed companies that would overcharge Iraq by, say 10%, and they would keep a part of it while giving back the other half to Iraq in cold hard cash. Saddam might've been a whacko, but you gotta give him credit for knowing how to run shit haha. Now a bunch of U.N. people are getting caught up in this scandal but we don't really give a shit about them anyway.
Rogers Communications bought the SkyDome for 25 million bones....quite the bargain compared to the 580 million pricetag it came with when it was first built. Fine, I'd buy it too just to say I own the SkyDome. But the bastard (Ted Rogers, owner of Rogers Communications) goes and changes it to the Rogers Centre. Seriously, what the hell is he thinking. I hate old people with lots of money.
Google recently released its Google Local feature. You can access it by clicking on the Local link right above the search box. Anyway, I think it's really awesome. Not only does it make searching for businesses easy, it gives you a map! True story. Check it out! (Wo)Man, Google's gonna take over the world.
Cell Phones make you drive just as bad as a senile, useless, boring, senior citizen according to some recent studies. And I bet you'll go impotent like them as well if you hold a cell phone too close to the goods for long periods of time. In any case, we have enough old people on the damn roads. Stop using cell phones while driving ok? Thank you.
