Big Night Tonight

From our swanky penthouse on Columbus, tonight will be the taping of the very first A55 club show. I'm excited.

Once it's done we'll hack it to pieces and then glue it back together and a get a real website and pass the savings directly on to you, the imaginary listener.

KTHANXBYE.

Do you see how many posts I've made?

I really need to find something else to do all day.

I watched the American men lose the speed skating pursuit and started to flip through my trusty TimeWarner Program Guide. The Guide has lots of problems.

TWO PROBLEMS THAT THE TIMEWARNER PROGRAM GUIDE HAS THAT ARE NOT THE MAIN PROBLEM THAT I'M GOING TO WRITE ABOUT AFTER I'M DONE DISCUSSING THE TWO PROBLEMS

-It doesn't play nicely with the MNN Networks. (I have, many times, tried to watch a program called "Gorilla Black Magic Jesus." This, to me, seems to be the best show title ever. I want to see this show. But every time I tune in, MNN shows me something else. It's NOT Gorilla Black Magic Jesus, and that makes me SAD.

-The movie ratings are terrible/inconsistant. I've seen Top Gun given everything between two and three and a half stars. Between you and me, I think it deserves three.

THE MAIN PROBLEM

-I appreciate the episode summaries that that the TimeWarner Program Guide provides, but all too often they really fail to capture the episode properly. For instance, at 7:30, Fox 5 aired the third episode of the "TBS and FOX5 SEINFELD BLOCK", (with a half-hour break for Simpsons of Jeopardy) "The Big Salad" The shorthand episode description was as follows:

"Kramer helps wanted athlete flee."

Given that this is the last thing that happens in the episode, while the credits roll, and had it been on TBS it would have been confined to a tiny box, such a description cannot stand.

But I digress.

Tonight, as I looked over the evening's programming choices, I found MythBusters! The description:

"Hosts test Urban Legends."

Awesome. Don't think I've seen that one.

Alex doesn't have the mad intarweb skills like Brian and I do, so his name isn't right. I told him how to fix it, but he didn't do it, so I tried to break into his account and fix it for him.

He told me that all of his passwords for everything were all the same. That it was a nickname of his that is also a shoe company.

But he picked a different password, and so I couldn't do it.

And now I am sad.

Nothing beats the feeling of waking up to your brand new, for-the-moment pointless blog. I'm done plastering it with Google ads, for now, but this guy's ready for some content. Alex needs to confirm his membership and both Alex and Brian need to start putting up stupid, stupid posts like this one.

The existence of the show draws ever closer. I have ordered a new hard drive which will allow me to move all of my episodes of Salute Your Shorts off of the master drive and fully utilize my computer's potential. Well, that's not true. I don't think anyone fully utilizes their computer's potential these days. A computer with 128 k of RAM launched the first space shuttle, and given that I have just shy of a million times more than that...


WAIT.

NO.

THERE IT IS: A PROMO

-------------------------------------
RAM USED TO LAUNCH THE SPACE SHUTTLE: 128 k
RAM USED TO LAUNCH THE A55 CLUB: 1 G

THE LEVEL OF QUALITY IS PROPORTIONAL.

Coming Soon...

That's So Awesome

Brian is already a member.

Like the title says, that's so awesome.

I wonder if he's gonna put a post up.

That, too, would be so awesome.

Yes Yes Y'all.

You've found the A55 Club blog, and you're a lucky lad or lassie for it. For now, this is a blog that represents a group that represents nothing. Had fates not conspired against us, this would be a blog that represented a group that represented a radio program(me) on Barnard's fake radio station, WBAR. Granted, allowing the three of us on their fake airwaves would have gone against tradition, so we can't fault them for sticking with the poopy crap they usually play.

I, like you, have never listened to WBAR. For all I know, it's the gold standard among fake radio stations. Perhaps our application did not meet their staunch requirements. Such are the mysteries of the universe.

But lo! We are dedicated young men with a dream, and we will not be stopped. Stay tuned for details about the first A55 Club broadcast, coming soon to a computer near you!

I am a douche.
