A Fan of *Parody Dubs*? Watch This! Also, TGIF!!


Corny, dumb, obnoxious, hilarious...

Basically, it's Disney's 1992 film "Aladdin" with all voice parts dubbed over by a comedy improv team. A little tacky, but good for when you're in the mood.
There's a series with  9 of these, and if you're a fan of Jaboody Dubs then you will probably enjoy this.

Happy Friday!!!!

DMC - A Horrible Mistake


To anyone familiar with the DMC (Devil May Cry) series, the look of the new 'Dante' is horrifying.
Included in the parodied youtube above is the E3 trailer for the new DMC (Devil May Cry 5) game in development. Backlash was so huge that now hordes of old fans are boycotting the game, based soley upon the trailer shown a year ago. Apparently the plan was for a new look and feel to market to a new generation of gamers.

Personal Injury Lawyer to Sue your Favorite Boss (lol)

Came across this tonight and had a long laugh. Here's 5 tips for suing your boss: http://www.calaborlaw.com/2007/11/11/top-5-tips-so-you-want-to-sue-your-boss-2/


Top 5 Tips: So You Want to Sue Your Boss?

So you want to sue your employer for racial discrimination, sexual harassment, whistleblower retaliation, failure to pay you your last paycheck, what have you. Now what? Here are five tips all clients should keep in mind before they pick up the phone to call a lawyer.
summons1 Top 5 Tips: So You Want to Sue Your Boss?Tip 1Write it, don’t say it. People think it’s enough to complain, request or report things orally to their employer. They complain about discrimination to HR over the phone. Or they tell their supervisor about a health and safety code violation. Well, what are you going to do when HR or the supervisor denies you ever talked with them? Don’t believe it? Happens all the time. Avoid the “he said, she said” by communicating with your employer by emails or send letters (certified mail, return receipt requested). By doing this, you create a record.
Tip 2Keep a journal. Don’t rely on memory, write everything down. The names of witnesses, dates, times, places, what was said, documents involved – the more detailed the better. And be professional about it. Don’t write that your boss is a %*&@! in the journal, because the journal could become evidence. Another thing, don’t leave the journal on your desk or in your desk drawer at work where your boss can find it. You might end up fired and your lawsuit dead.
Tip 3Get witnesses. Emails, memos and letters are one form of key evidence in a lawsuit. Witnesses are the other. When your boss calls you a racial slur, pats you on the rear, or threatens to fire you because you reported him for illegal activity, talk to whoever witnessed it. Confirm whether they saw it. Try to get them on your side. Do this carefully and your case will have just gotten a lot stronger.
Tip 4Don’t play lawyer. So you went to the internet and learned that “retaliation”, “hostile work environment” and “whistleblowing” are magic words. That doesn’t mean you should go waving those terms around in your emails and conversations at the workplace like your sword and shield. Don’t play lawyer. Chances are, your employer’s lawyer will be better at it than you are and if, as is likely, you get it all wrong, you’re the one who could come off looking like the bully, not the employer. Get a lawyer instead.
Tip 5Don’t get mad, get even (or turn the other cheek). You’re being treated outrageously by your co-workers, your supervisors or the owners of your company, or maybe all of them. You’re depressed, scared and . . . spitting mad! To quote Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman, you want to take a flamethrower to the place! That’s fine if you want to end up in jail and without a lawsuit. Otherwise, take a deep breath, follow tips 1 to 4, and call an attorney. That momentary lapse where you curse your boss out like a sailor in front of your entire office could mean you no longer have a case.
More tips to come, but if you follow these five, you will be way ahead of the game. And your lawyer will thank you for it.

Relax. Breathe.

Need to Relax?



Box Breathing - 4 seconds each.
In for four. Hold four. Out for four. Hold four more.
Repeat.

This technique really helped me out today. Was starting to get a stress headache and had to take 15 to let ir flow out of me. Please try this. It's easy, it helps.    = )

Little Stressed Out, But No Big Deal

Well guys I thank you all for your supportive comments and views on the site. Creating this page seemed to spark off a race of ideas for me all weekend- and now it's almost Monday and time to go back to work.

On the bright side, I have HD Entourage (did any catch this one?) recorded and am about to relax in front of the tv with a cold drink in my hand before bed.

-cheers : )

Captain America: The First Avenger *movie blockbuster*

Created in 1941 and successfully “revived” in the 1960s, Captain America may be a Marvel Comics character, but he actually wasn’t created by Stan Lee. (Which means that the great man of Marvel Comics probably won’t be making his usual cameo in the movie then.) Instead he was dreamt up by writer Joe Simon and artist Jack Kirby as a patriotic superhero when America entered World War II in 1941.
After the War, the character’s popularity waned and he was effectively retired. But in March 1964 the character was successfully revived by Stan Lee, with Jack Kirby once again providing the art work. Captain America (or just plain Cap) was the meek and sickly Steve Rogers, who was rejected for military service in the US army on medical grounds. Instead he volunteered for a top secret “supersoldier” serum program by the US army and was successfully changed into a physically super-fit and strong specimen (this program is referred to in 
However before the serum can be used to turn the entire US Army into superheroes, the serum’s formula is lost when the scientist responsible for it is killed by a Nazi spy. (What? He didn’t keep any notes?) With only one super-soldier at its disposal, the US military does the best it can and turns Rogers into Captain America, a propaganda figurehead for the war effort against the Nazis. Cue several adventures leading US soldiers invading Normandy during D-Day along with Cap fighting secret Nazi agents led by the nefarious Red Skull, a Nazi mastermind super-villain and his arch nemesis.
In Stan Lee’s reinvention of the character, Cap is thought dead when he foiled a Nazi missile launched at Washington DC. Instead the character has fallen into the freezing Atlantic Ocean where instead of drowning or dying of hypothermia he is instead frozen alive in a block of solid ice, only to be revived twenty years or so later. Strangely enough Lee did nothing more with Cap’s Buck Rogers-type resurrection than turn the character into yet another brooding and moody Marvel superhero. No “fish out of water” stuff as Rogers suddenly has to cope with stuff such as social changes, new technology and the like. After all, when Cap took a dive into the Atlantic Glenn Miller topped the charts and when he came back it was The Beatles



Will be catching this flick today or tomorrow. Expect a full report :)
