Porres.com – Eric's Humble Place in Cyberspace

One of the most sublime commentaries made on the bong/Phelps/Kellogg’s fiasco (2 mins):

SNL – Really?!? – Michael Phelps, 02/07/2009

It’s all so damn good that I transcribed the last bit:

“…and if you’re at a party and you see Michael Phelps smoking a bong and you’re first thought isn’t ‘wow I get to party with Michael Phelps’ and instead you take a picture and sell it to a tabloid you should take a long look in the mirror because you’re a dick, I’m mean really.”

Reposted with full image as twitpic crunched it.

Over the past couple of months I’ve been taking inventory of the various ways in which I communicate, whether is be for myself to keep track of news and information (on NetVibes), externally through tweets, Facebook updates, NYGrapes updates, dojo updates, or this blog.  In short, while I hope to keep this site fresh, you are more likely to catch what I’m thinking about or doing via my Facebook (which is connected with Twitter) feed.  As the song goes (name that band!), “Time is the measure before it’s begun, Slips away like running water…” and I’m just out of time to write down at-length prose on all of the various topics I’m interested in.

So, if you know me (and by know I mean more than just we met once and/or we’ve communicated more than once since we were in highschool), have a look for me on Facebook.  Better yet, rather than pseudo-conversationalism through blogs, tweets, and the like, just pick up the phone and call.  Cheers.

Thanks to John Durham for sharing these.

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE  ROAD?

BARACK  OBAMA:

The chicken crossed  the road because it was time for CHANGE!

JOHN MCCAIN:

My friends, that  chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in  cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the  road.

HILLARY  CLINTON:

When I was First  Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This  experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure — right from Day One! —  that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross  the road.  But then, this really isn’t about me…….

JOHN  KERRY:

Although I voted to  let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road  to cross, and I was misled about the chicken’s intentions. I am not for it  now, and will remain against it.

GEORGE W.  BUSH:

We don’ t really  care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken  is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or  for us. There is no middle ground here.

DICK  CHENEY:

Where’s my  gun?

COLIN  POWELL:

Now to the left of  the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken  crossing the road…

BILL  CLINTON:

I did not cross the  road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of  chicken?

OPRAH:

Well, I understand  that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this  road. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take  falls, which is a part of life, I’m going to give this chicken a car so  that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest  of the chickens.

BILL  GATES:

I have just released  eChicken2008, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file  your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer  is an integral part of the Chicken. This new platform is much more stable  and will never cra…#@&&^(C% ………  reboot.

ALBERT  EINSTEIN:

Did the chicken  really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the  chicken?

ERNEST  HEMINGWAY:

To die in the  rain.  Alone.

AL  SHARPTON:

Why are all the  chickens white? We need some black  chickens.
