Chuck Norris Facts

G'day!

I love Chuck Norris facts.

Once I was a big fan of the man probably because my father looks a lot like him except my dad's beard is black. He's like... evil Chuck Norris. Without the evil part.

Here are some good ones from the link above:

- If you have five dollars and Chuck Norris has five dollars, Chuck Norris has more money than you.

- There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of animals Chuck Norris allows to live.

- The Great Wall of China was originally created to keep Chuck Norris out. It failed miserably.

- The quickest way to a man's heart is with Chuck Norris' fist.

- A Handicapped parking sign does not signify that this spot is for handicapped people. It is actually in fact a warning, that the spot belongs to Chuck Norris and that you will be handicapped if you park there.

- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is based on a true story: Chuck Norris once swallowed a turtle whole, and when he crapped it out, the turtle was six feet tall and had learned karate.

loll.

Top 10 - Video Games

I've been playing video games almost as long as I've been able to ride a bike.
For me it's the best hobby, the greatest way to waste time and relax after a hard day's work.
Here are, in no particular order, my top ten favorite video games of all time:

- Final Fantasy VII (PS1)
- God of War 2 (PS2)
- X-Com UFO Defense (PC)
- Master of Orion 2 (PC)
- Lands of Lore: Throne of Chaos (PC)
- Final Fantasy Tactics (PS1 & PSP)
- Civilization 2 (PC)
- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (PC)
- Neverwinter Nights OC & Hordes of the Underdark (PC)
- Burnout 3: Takedown (PS2)

Note that I have no XBox of any kind, no New Gen console and my PC is ooold.

World of Warcraft - Part 2

Ok, I stopped.

No time, no money to waste in a time waster and frankly, playing wow alone is boring.
So my Night Elf Hunter is on ice for now.
And to think I just got my first mount.

It's the same with LotR online. No time.
Sorry Marc and Philippe.

I'm out.

At the Drive-In

Me and my lovely wife have a beautiful little girl. She is our angel, the most precious thing in existence.
We also do not have a babysitter, except for my in-laws, who are very nice but old, tired and usually pretty grumpy.

So what does a couple of parents do on a Saturday night?

To the Drive-In!

Drive-ins are great.
For a first date, you have a cheap but fun dinner (best junk food around!) and two movies for the price of one with the added bonus of having enough privacy to talk all you want and to make out.
For families like ours, parents can watch the movies and the little ones can play outside (under supervision!) and sleep in the back when it gets late.
Cells phones are welcome and no one ever kicks your seat, plus you can't hear jerks around you talking about their day like it was their last.

The only problems with Drive-ins are, first, the brightness.
If the movie you're watching happens to be happening at night or in dark places, forget it. You won't see a thing. I remember seeing The Crow at the Drive-In. All I could see was Brandon Lee's super white teeth when he smiles and says "Shelley".
Second, there are very few drive-ins left which I find strange. The place is always packed. Also, here in Quebec they only show translated pictures and never original versions probably because of the language laws.

I recommend Drive-ins to any movie lover. It's a very fun experience and suitable for pretty much anyone.

And it's cheap if the second movie appeals to you.

Unplanned happenings

Hmm.

I'm wondering how google ads work.

Most of this blog is about movies.
I post one little short story about soldiers in space that use special armor to fight the enemy and the ads go from auditions and movie rental sites to metallurgical services.

wtf?
