99 Things Part Two


It is time for part two of the 99 things you must see on the internet. The full name is “Greg Rutter’s Definitive List of The 99 Things You Should Have Already Experienced On The Internet Unless You’re a Loser or Old or Something”. As for the stats on 26-50, PG has seen two, and all but four are on youtube.
27 Cute Overload is a bunch of pictures of dogs and cats. PG is of the opinion that all dogs are camera shy, and is jealous of some of the poses this person got.
36 Where the hell is Matt? This is a neat concept. This guy does a goofy dance, in locales all over the world. Supposedly some candy company is paying for this.
40 Scarlet takes a tumble You are not supposed to laugh, but sometimes you can’t help it. An obese young lady is standing on a table, making sounds that resemble singing. She slides off the front of the table and lands on her shoulders behind her. PG hopes she is not hurt, and will choose a more sturdy table.
45 Tron Guy is another piece of youtube tripe, but PG sees something interesting. When a youtube video is over, there are suggestions on the screen for your next viewing. Five of the suggestions after TronGuy are in the Ruttner99…and most are garbage.
46 LeaveBritneyAlone is a classic. 24,403,033 views. 359,464 comments. It still packs a punch. And yes, PG has seen this marvel.
50 Takeonme This non youtube music video is pretty good. It tells a story, and has lots of snappy graphics. Part two is not a total loss.


Phone Repairs


A Kansas farm wife called the local phone company to report her telephone failed to ring when her friends called – and that on the few occasions, when it did ring, her dog always moaned right before the phone rang.
The telephone repairman proceeded to the scene, curious to see this psychic dog or senile lady.He climbed a telephone pole, hooked in his test set, and dialed the subscriber’s house. The phone didn’t ring right away, but then the dog moaned and the telephone began to ring.
Climbing down from the pole, the telephone repairman found:
1. The dog was tied to the telephone system’s ground wire with a steel chain and collar.
2. The wire connection to the ground rod was loose.
3. The dog was receiving 90 volts of signaling current when the number was called.
4. After a couple of jolts, the dog would start moaning and then urinate.
5. The wet ground would complete the circuit, thus causing the phone to ring.
Which demonstrates that some problems CAN be fixed by pissing and moaning.


99 Things to See Part One


1. Grape lady falls. This is number one of the list of things that PG is supposed to have seen on the internet. A lady stomps grapes in a bucket, while listening to another lady describe the wonders of Chateau Elan. Then, lady number one falls off the stand, and lands on the ground three feet below. The word of the announcers is that she is seriously hurt. There is no way to find out.
The official title of the list is “Greg Rutter’s Definitive List of The 99 Things You Should Have Already Experienced On The Internet Unless You’re a Loser or Old or Something” PG is insufficient, and has only seen a few familiar titles. ( Four of the twenty five reviewed today) Today is part one of a projected four part series. Of the 25 features reviewed in this segment, 19 are on youtube.
Videos 2, 3, and 4 all had different sound levels. To hear 2 you had to turn the volume up full blast, which was very, very loud when number 3 came on. Number 4 is a baby dancing to a song. The song was used in “Reservoir Dogs” as background for the brutal torture of a policeman.
5- Post Secret This is the first non you tube entry on the list. “PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard.”
6- Charlie the Unicorn is the first one on the list that PG had seen. He had repressed the memory. CTU is not better the second time.
10- George Lucas in Love is pretty funny. A takeoff on “Shakesphere in Love”, it is about the college days of the geek behind the curtain.
15- The flying spaghetti monster is the fist thingie to deal with religion. Unless 12-Yatta is singing about G-d, which they might be. 16- Dramatic Chipmunk is only five seconds long. 19- Failblog is a blog about itself. 20- Skateboard dog is a bulldog taking a ride. It is a lot funnier than a yellow jacket on a skateboard.
24 Icanhascheezburger is a bunch of pictures of cats. They have clever captions. 25 Gansta Barney is a purple dragon singing gangsta rap. As with many of the other selections here, there are a lot of cuss words used.


The Day After Christmas


PG may need to go to town today. Normally, he would go down Clairmont Road to I85. But, it is the day after snowjam09, and the temperature is below freezing.
Flash back to the day after Christmas 2002. PG normally took the train to work, but decided to drive this day. Going past Buford hiway, he noticed a car ahead of him skid. That pavement sure does look funny, kinda like black ice. A car was stopped in front of him a hundred yards down. The Buick goes into a skid, and there is nothing PG can do.
There is a place on Clairmont where there is no curb, just the dirt of a front yard meeting the pavement. The Buick slid to the right, and the wheels stopped in this front yard. PG’s life quit going in front of his eyes.
No, there are lots of ways to get to town. One ride on black ice per lifetime is enough.
