A Quick Explanation

For those few of you who actually read my blog post I just wanted to explain why I post so many TV quotes.  When I go back and read them they make me happy.  And that basically it.  Thanks for reading and I hope the quotes make you smile too.

Stargate SG-1, Fallen: Part 1, Quote

Major Samantha Carter: Wait a minute…are you saying the Ancients actually lost one of their own cities?
Dr. Daniel Jackson: No, no…they didn’t lose it. They – they made it lost…to other people that might try to find it. I’m guessing that they camouflaged it…and removed all reference to it from the written history.
Colonel Jack O’Neill: So…the lost city is…still lost?
Daniel: I’m pretty sure.
Jack: You know, you told me to give Anubis that eye.
Sam: According to reports from our allies, Anubis is quickly conquering the other system lords.
Teal’c: He will dominate the galaxy in a very short time.
Jack: I only did it because you said we could whup his ass with what we find in this lost city.
Daniel: Wa-if I said that, then I-I hope it’s…true, but…but all I know is that the place you’re searching right now is not it.
Jack: Then…where is “it”?
Daniel: Did I just say “all I know”?
Jack: Everyone turn away. I want no witnesses.

Stargate SG-1, Fallen: Part 1, Quote

Jonas Quinn: At this point, uh, we believe that we’ve mapped the full extent of the ruins.
Colonel Jack O’Neill: No…fancy guns or anything cool?
Jonas: Well, we’ve only completed a preliminary investigation… [Daniel and an airman descend into the Briefing Room].
Dr. Daniel Jackson: I’m sorry I’m late I, uh, [he looks at his watch] forgot what time the meeting was… [he half-laughs, then continue when all look at him in silence] It’s a little joke there. It’s the memory thing…
General George Hammond: Dr. Jackson, this briefing is classified.
Daniel: Yeah, Jonas mentioned that, but, uh, you all said that I used to be a part of this, so…look, I can’t really give you a good reason, I just…feel like I should be here.
General Hammond: Good enough. [Daniel walks over and takes a seat next to Sam at the table.]
Daniel: Beside, who am I gonna tell? I mean, I don’t, uh, I don’t remember anybody, right?
Jack: Good one.
Daniel: Thanks, Jim.

Stargate SG-1, Fallen: Part 1, Quote

General George Hammond is waiting at the end of the ramp and the wormhole is active. SG-1 – all five members – steps through the even horizon.
General Hammond: Welcome back, Dr. Jackson.
Dr. Daniel Jackson: Thank you. Thank you very much. [He looks around the ‘gate room as though he’s never seen it before.]
General Hammond: You have no memory of who I am?
Daniel: None whatsoever.
Colonel Jack O’Neill: Neither do I, sir. [Hammond gives Jack a look. Jack looks toward the exit and gestures to Daniel] Uh, that way. [Both Daniel and Jack head toward the exit.] Did I mention you owe me 50 bucks?

Doesn’t he have better things to do with his time?

I won’t normally comment on politics.  It’s just way too easy to offend just about everyone with a simple statement like “In my opinion, the President was wearing an ugly tie today.”  Even though it’s my opinion, it just starts a flame war.  I just agree that I disagree with people and leave it at that.  I have my opinions on our government and I vote.  I work for a local government and I am an elected official. 

Ok.  So my Beloved David was watching the news last night and the President of the United State is taking time out of his busy to announce his upcoming appearance on Muthbusters.  And not only did he drag the Mythbusters (Jamie & Adam) all the way across the country for this press conference – he had his speech writers write him up a speech (because we all know this man doesn’t say hello without having a speech written) and he stopped his entire day to announce his upcoming appearance on a Reality TV show.

WTF! Doesn’t this man have better things to do with his time? Isn’t our economy in the tank? Don’t we have a health care crisis?  Shouldn’t our Pretender & Thief be concentrating on these things rather than appearing on TV?  And not even a news or a talk show – a reality TV show.  Come on.  Puh-LEASE!

I think Obama is putting the Mythbusters in a very awkward position. Not once in all of thier 8 season have the Mythbusters mentioned politics or religion.  They have been very careful to keep their opinions off the show.  As a matter of fact you don’t know if they are Republican, Democrat, Libertarian or Martian.  You don’t know if they are Christian, Hindu or Buddist.  But now, by forcing an appearing on the TV show Mythbusters our Pretender & Thief is making it seem like the Mythbusters are endorcing him and therefore his policies and his activities.  Obama is being very unfair – but that doesn’t matter to him.

The Mythbusters are revisiting the Archimedes Death Ray.  Again. For the 3rd time.  I think that this is wrong myth for this show.  I really think they should be revisiting the myth from the “End with a Bang” show.  It’s where Jamie & Adam go to the zoo, gather various poop sample and attempt to polish it.  Jamie took lion. Adam took giraffe.  Yeah, the Polish a Turd myth would be appropriate, in my opinion, as I think our President is full of it.  They proved once that you can polish a turd and they’d be able to prove it again.  As my favorite Woozle says, “Polish a turd it’s still a turd.”

MyTown – MyThoughts

Here are some of tips and tricks for playing MyTown. They are things I’ve found on the web, discovered myself or had friends tell me. I’ll be updating this from time to time.

Tips:

  1. Have 1 of every type of  property. Very Important!  Icons
  2. Buy tons of Chemical X. You will use it.
  3. Don’t squander you money too much. You will need it as you level up.
  4. Level up. (which is a d’uh.)
  5. Suck it up and spend the $5 for the Unlimited Collect All Rent.
  6. Put the Stamps that speed up rent properties that create Components first. It speeds up the creation too.

Tricks:

  1. After buying the Unlimited Collect All rent for $5 (seriously do it – now) collect rent just before you create you items.
