“Release the Kraken!”

,

If not already in Urbandictionary.com, the phrase “release the Kraken!” from Clash of the Titans must be added. You shout this when someone poops in the pool and you need everyone to scatter and evacuate.

The Science of the World Cup Soccer Ball

, ,

The new soccer ball of the 2010 World Cup was created by Adidas with some serious science, technology, and engineering. Called the “Jabulani,” this ball is supposedly the “roundest and most accurate ball ever played.”

From Popular Science

Read this Popular Science article about the technology built into the Jabulani. And if you want to marvel and celebrate this technology yourself, you can own your own Jabulani.

I Want to Smell Like Twilight!

,

Twilight’s Eclipse is soon, very soon, and there’s no better way to watch this movie than smelling like its namesake. What’s that scent of juicy berry, soft mimosa, apricot nectar, and warm woods? That’s you bathed in Bath and Body Works’ Twilight Woods!

While not an official Twilight product, you surely can’t deny the allusion to Stephenie Meyer’s creation. 😉

Befooled by Miley Cyrus

Ohh, Miley Cyrus had me fooled. Here I thought iWeb could embed videos that have embedding disabled, a video like Party in the USA. But while it looks like iWeb actually embeds the video, trying to play the video gives a message that embedding is indeed disallowed.

Madonna or Lady Gaga: Glee, Round 2b

, ,

Let’s continue our Madonna versus Lady Gaga comparison on popular television shows and look at who made a bigger impact on the wonderful world of Glee.

Madonna started it off with an entire episode dedicated to the Power of Madonna.  This Glee musical collection tore up the Billboard charts and every performance in the episode was a Madonna hit.  And who can forget Sue Sylvester’s rendition of Vogue?

A few episodes later, Lady Gaga’s music and looks were featured on Glee. Unfortunately, this episode lacked the impact and power of Madonna. While the Gaga musical numbers were good, the Glee guys were singing KISS songs.

But let’s get another opinion. When asked, which episode did Miss Universe 1997, Brook Antoinette Mahealani Lee, prefer?

So that settles it. Round 2b goes to the power of Madonna!

Score: Madonna 1, Lady Gaga 2

Madonna or Lady Gaga: American Idol, Round 2a

So which of the music divas is more prevalent on popular television shows?  Let’s take a quick look starting with the mega music reality television show known as American Idol.

Back in 2007, Madonna participated in the Idol Gives Back fundraiser but has never been a musical guest or mentor.  In this season, Lady Gaga performed on Idol.

Hmmm, I have to give Gaga a slight nod in Round 2a.

Score: Lady Gaga 2, Madonna 0

Don’t Feed the Birds… Or the Homeless

This is a sensitive one dear readers and I’d like your opinion. While at Costco, the epitome of abundance, there was an assumed homeless dude wandering around outside by the food court area. He’s a young guy, not harassing anyone. This little old lady says to him:

“Young man, would you be offended if I offered you this hot dot?”

He willingly accepted the offer, but then employees suggested she not offer food to the guy. The lady complained that she bought the hot dog and can do anything she wants with it.

I know the lady meant well but on the other hand, I can understand the view of the business not wanting to attract the “wrong element” to their location for potential run ins with customers. So what’s the right decision?

McDonalds Double Wide in Kaneohe

, , ,

Oh 96744, I don’t know if this says anything or not, but your renovated McDonalds features a double wide drive thru. I’ve never seen a McD with dual lanes in Hawaii. But I guess you can get your yummy fries at twice the speed?

Or is it just so that the line of cars no longer blocks the shopping mall’s entry way?
