Adventures in BiPolarity

Talking to people online it became apparent to me that i was one of the lucky few to have ‘discovered’ this feature in an online tool we use every day. Hell it’s my home page. I think we as surfers and companies themselves in tunnel vision mode. Thats great for a one product company but for a company with many products and features, they need to keep them in our face so we know they’re there so we come back to their websites. whew. the point being it’s amazing that 70% of the people i’ve talked to had no idea the tool i’m about to tell you about existed.

Reported online: two travelers, having met in brazil, and sitting with each other on the return flight managed to get a little bit drunky and a little too randy.

Reportedly from the hand to the mouth the gentleman involved was quite well taken care of. In spite of the flight crew asking them to stop many times.

For you see unlike most playful puddle hoppers rather than use the facilities (cramped as they are for this type of thing) they sat in their seats. Adult and Children alike scattered around them.

Upon landing they were arrested then they were fined.

So Carlos Norris has taken umbrage at the fact that some enterprising young yanks have come out with the book “The Truth About Chuck Norris: 400 facts about the World’s Greatest Human” in November.

The author Ian Spector, builds on the internet fame of dear old Chuck and the ‘everyone has heard it’ lists of Chuck-ism, skillz or deeds. It’s like the ultimate in geek fan worship, and has been around since the early usenet days. Except then it was Worf or Wesley Crusher. Times do change though.

Citing such mythical skills as tears that cure cancer, and in inborn ability to charge a cell phone by rubbing it on his beard and the fact that Mr. Norris does in fact not sleep, he waits…

Naturally offended by this free publicity and building of his legend Chuck is suing penguin and Spector rather than kissing their little toesies.

In honor of Carlos i think i shall start my own list of things i believe and/or have learned by a lifetime of Chuck Norris movies on cable.
