life hereafter

random musings from a wannabe economist

PETA has made an awesome parody of the game Cooking Mama, Cooking Mama : Mama Kills Animals : The Unauthorized PETA edition. While I do not agree in whole with PETA’s principles and methods, I do find some of the things they do to be utterly hilarious.

The objective of the game is to cook a Thanksgiving dinner the bloody (PETA) way. First you defeather the turkey, then you stuff him and cook him in the oven. Finally, you use the innards to make a gruesome gravy. The game isn’t entirely true to life, last I checked eggs don’t bleed when you crack them open, but it’s still pretty fun and a good way to kill (pun intended) some time this thanksgiving.

As a follow up to an earlier post about KFC, I found this game which is a lot less bloody than the above.

Yesterday I dropped my car off for state inspections. As expected, the tires on my car were totally screwed up. They were so bad that I actually failed inspection on the front two (they were worn to the tred bar.) This also resulted in my alignment being complete screwed up. So, I had to replace all four tires for a larger sum of money than anticipated… is it really worth spending money on a car you drive less than 3.5k miles a year… sigh…

Just ordered the Blackberry Storm which will mark my return to Verizon Wireless (due in large part to customer service and quality issues at my last carrier.) I have a faster 3G network and fancy touchscreen to look forward to. I’ve been reading some mixed reviews. Once it arrives I’ll be sure to post my thoughts.

I am writing a longer post on this but, for the time being:

I just saw a commercial for Dodge. The commercial was advertising a minivan, two trucks and an suv. These companies just don’t get it…
