skol?

I was just watching this amazing program called Madventures. I'd never seen this show before but it now one of my favorites.  It's these two dudes from finland traveling around the world with a camera doing a bunch crazy shit.  At one point one of the dudes says, "do we have time to get kentucky fried", meaning is there time to get really drunk.  That is my new favorite foreign slang.  It's on the same level as cool ranch doritos being called cool american.

 As far as foreign travel goes, I could go for a magnum bar right now.

another scientifically over looked movie

My last entry in this series was about Ghostbusters; this time I am going to talk about Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.  This is very informal; it should have citations and references, but I'm going to skip that stuff and keep this pretty short.  This could be a really good dissertation for either a film, history, or theoretical physics class.  It's too bad I used the space in the papers on traditional and well respected sources.  I am scienetificizing pop culture.

  The movie is a wonderful study in time travel, and more importantly the idea of temporal paradox.  Throughout the movie Bill and Ted survive by messages and reminders from future versions of themselves.   Their survival leads to the reality in which Rufus and that radical Black Dude sitting on a crystal throne with sunglasses on and everyone dresses like lady gaga at the grammys.  One thing couldn't have happened without the other happening. The definition of a temporal paradox.
  One thing that is commonly missed in stories that incorporate time travel miss is that while the person is time traveling they are living, therefore aging.  If they leave san demas 1988 at 12:30 and come back a few hours later their friends had only lived for those few hours.  Bill and Ted on the other side could have spent as long as they wanted going around time collecting historical figures.  In this instance Bill and Ted would have aged one day.  If they made a habit of traveling time then going back to the moment they left those hours would add up.  In the words of Matthew McCaughnihy (sic), I keep getting older, but they stay the same age. Someone should tell Hiro Nakamura.
   I'm not going to go any deeper into this right now, this could turn into a long one; I'll think instead of writing this now I will just bother my friends as I share these ideas.

this is a good one to play on the stereo

I keep saying I'm dumb, but this was really fucking stupid

Yesterday I went out to eat a burger.  I was fucking hungry and in good company, this distracted me.  So we go by the bar to kill time while we were waiting for our table; I decided to put my hand in the pocket I usually put my car keys. The keys weren't in there so I checked the other pockets and they weren't there either.  I say I can't find my keys so I am going to retrace the steps we took to get to the door. No keys.  I kept walking to the car and I remembered something I have done in the past.  That thing of the past was getting out of the car and heading to my destination without taking the key out of the ignition.  That's what I did.  I left my keys in the fucking ignition.  Between conversation and food the meal was a success; but it would have been ruined if my car had been stolen.  I'm glad it didn't get ruined.
