Julie, the last of the Chez Hugo Redheads (a.k.a. Joolie, “Entrapierna del Fuega”, Jugs or simply Hooles) submitted this translation of a contemporary CNN front page to a few of us this morning. Thought I’d share.

Pay attention to the details and take a look at what the original layout looks like. Although I don’t have the front page this is plagerizing, I still think this is pretty good.

I especially like that CNN Money has been renamed simply to ‘Bling Bling’. Classy.

I found this article on CNN.com which I found interesting. Click the Evite picture on the right for a quick laugh…

“Bush has so far avoided answering questions about the possible costs of war and rebuilding in Iraq, saying he believes the costs of not acting to disarm and remove Saddam from power outweigh the costs of doing so.

The ol’ kegerator at Chez Hugo (R.I.P.) has served up her fair share of drinks over the course of her tour of duty. Many evenings she has served up a frothing mug of ale for dinner (or before… or after), and often worked overtime weekends. She is loved and appreciated by all of us…

However, the advance of technology offers vast possibilities and although there is hardly much use for the increase in computing power available to us today when serving drinks, the decrease in computer component costs has made a few household inventions possible. An interesting one, to say the least is The Bar Monkey…

Editors Note: The barmonkey web site has been moved so I changed the original post date to bring it back up to the top.

George W. Bush is trying to get himself reelected and considers no holds barred in attaining that goal.

In the context of the Star Wars, I thought this was pretty funny. Please take a look at the pop-up image and read all the fine print.

Also take a look at the original Episode II poster to appreciate how well done the GW poster is.

Hehe, Saddam is Yoda…

Four men got together to play golf one sunny morning. As they were heading out to the course, one of them was detained by a phone call.

The other three were discussing their children while walking to the first tee.

“My son,” said one proudly, “has made quite a name for himself in the home building industry. He began as a carpenter, but now owns his own design and construction firm. He’s so successful, in fact in the last year he was able to give a good friend a brand new home as a gift.”

The second man, not to be outdone, boasts how his son began his career as a car salesman, but now owns a multi-line dealership. “He’s so successful, in fact, in the last six months he gave a friend two brand new cars as a gift.”

The third man brags that his son has worked his way up through a stock brokerage firm, and has become so successful that in the last few weeks has given a good friend a large stock portfolio as a gift.

As the fourth man arrives at the tee box, the three smugly tell him that they have been discussing how successful their progeny are, and ask what line of work his son is in.

“To tell the truth, I’m not very pleased how my son has turned out,” he replies. “For fifteen years, he’s been a hairdresser, and I’ve just recently discovered he’s gay.” As the other three recoil in horror, he continues, “but on the bright side, he must be good at what he does, because his last three boyfriends have given him a brand new house, two new cars, and a big stock portfolio.”

The game is based on an (somewhat) actual story of a true hero going deep into the Brazilian Jungle to help the government with a terrible infestation problem. Not really able to help him with any up front ammunition, he had to fight his way through the jungle, finding food and ammo on his way.

Good luck hunters, and remember to look behind you…

“Are you a consultant or are you a prostitute?” The question came up the other day, and I’m still not sure… Here’s my list of similarities:

1. You work very odd hours.
2. You are paid a lot of money to keep your client happy.
3. You are paid well but your pimp gets most of the money.
4. You spend a majority of your time in a hotel room.
5. You charge by the hour but your time can be extended.
6. You are not proud of what you do.
7. Creating fantasies for your clients is rewarded.
8. It’s difficult to have a family.
9. You have no job satisfaction.
10. If a client beats you up, the pimp just sends you to another client.
11. You are embarrassed to tell people what you do for a living.
12. People ask you, “What do you do?” and you can’t explain it.
13. Your client pays for your hotel room plus your hourly rate.
14. Your client always wants to know how much you charge and what they get for the money.
15. Your pimp drives nice cars like Mercedes or Jaguars.
16. Your pimp encourages drinking and you become addicted to drugs to ease the pain of it all.
17. You know the pimp is charging more than you are worth but if the client is foolish enough to pay it’s not your problem.
18. When you leave to go see a client, you look great, but return looking like hell (compare your appearance on Monday AM to Friday PM).
19. You are rated on your “performance” in an excruciating ordeal.
20. Even though you get paid the big bucks, it’s the client who walks away smiling.
21. The client always thinks your “cut” of your billing rate is higher then it actually is, and in turn, expects miracles from you.
22. When you deduct your “take” from your billing rate, you constantly wonder if you could get a better deal with another pimp.

What do you think?

Can’t say I have anything personal against the Teletubbies, nor can I say I really know any of them. For the purpose of this posting, I found out that their names are Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po. They are the brainchild of a couple of British childrens book authors, who sold the original show to BBC, which has invested ?8,000,000 in the Teletubbies show so far.

Anyway, the reason we are here today is not to celebrate or even learn about the Teletubbies. I wanted you to know just enough about them to make you dislike them. With that in mind, find hours of entertainment in trying to beat Denmark’s (yes, me) highscore.

As a summary of the show from an adult point of view, these are four nasty little creatures. They fight, they have jealousy bouts, they dance and prance to impress each other and they are quite vain about their appearance and their favorite ‘objects’. They need to be taken out and you can practice on this game how you are going to do it. My favorite is the headshot with the rifle

Death to the Teletubbies and their fat little television bellies…

On the bottom of the Indecorum page you can find one reason why Brazil won the World Cup this year… If you look here, you’ll see another reason why Brazil is an intimidating opponent…
