(does it rhyme with “tough” or with “cough”?)

Internet Brainiacs
June 22nd, 2008You’re no internet brainiac if you use any of these as your online (or, quite frankly, offline as well) passwords. Kindergarteners could crack these master codes….
According to PC Magazine, these are the 10 most common passwords:
- password (we’re talking Rhodes Scholar here, folks)
- 123456 (more crackerjack stealth)
- qwerty (for the lazy typists)
- abc123 (probably popular among the adults whose teenage years occured during the reign of the Jackson 5)
- letmein (okay, I have to admit this one’s not so obvious… just a bit, oh, 4-year-old-ish)
- monkey (???? what??!?!)
- myspace1 (…huh… so this is how everyone’s MySpace accounts get hacked… let me go try something….)
- password1 (shockingly different from #1! No one will ever suspect a numeral after the word!)
- link182 (seriously?! This is the 9th-most-used password?? What’s at all significant about the number 182? How is it that so many people are using that particular number after the word ‘link’?)
- {your first name} (that seems rather lengthy; I’d just assume type use ‘Dave’)

And I’m thinking to whomever wrote this heading, “What, you just kept going back for more? Didn’t figure it out the first 26 times?”

March 25th, 2008From this week’s Two and a Half Men, Cerina Vincent:
What’s up with Women Nowadays?
March 16th, 2008Some stats that kinda fried my mind: there’s a 30-year-old woman who’s had sex with 23 people; a 27-year-old with 40 previous partners; and a 29-year-old who lost her virginity 7 years ago and feels like she has to lie about how many men she’s had sex with because she feels her total (which is approximately 5, apparently) is too low!
I guess it’s just more evidence that I was born in the wrong century. Although I couldn’t have survived without air conditioning….
And, apparently, the prevailing view from women is that their men should lie about their “number,” too, if it’s high or “mortifyingly low.” Low’s not good anymore, huh? One woman thinks that a guy’s number should be “about 20 to 25; that seems appropriate.” Appropriate?!?!?!? APPROPRIATE?!!!!?! “If it’s too low, it’ll make me think he could be a complete wimp in bed.” Guess that’s me.
Speaking as a celibate-until-committed male, 1) I’d rather have a woman tell me the honest number (lyin’s baaad, mmmkaay) than lie to me 2) What are women thinking–20 partners is a good thing??, and 3) Any woman who would lie to me about their “number” or have such a high number that they felt they needed to lie, don’t call me. Call your ob/gyn.

February 17th, 2008Captions that Could Have Been!
If I have to listen to one more of these booooring questions….. I hope they wrap this up soon–Grey’s Anatomy’s almost on. Maybe I can call ABC to have them do one of those time delay th–oh, wait, that guy finished his question. And he’s staring at me. He wants me to say something. Well, maybe I’ll just stare back at him. See how he likes it. … … This has got to be the most boring game of chicken I’ve ever played. … Chicken would taste good while watching Grey’s Anatomy…..

Captions That Could Have Been!
“You want my tuna sandwich? … Um, but I already ate it. Well, yeah, it’s currently in my mouth. But I figured–hey, put down that camera. No one needs to see this! It’s not very presidential looking. … Well, wait, I’m suddenly feeling a bit nauseous–is there a Prime Minister anywhere around here?”
