WaMu: Banking's Biggest Losers

JP Morgan Chase & Co just bought a piece of them for $1.9 billion...and they'll be writing down ~$31 billion in loans. Who's next?

And for those who have accounts with the former Washington Mutual...

In Case You've Ever Wondered...

...this is the REAL reason you can never seem to take advantage of the free food that's up for grabs in the office!

Robert Van Winkle, Eat Your Heart Out...

Composed by my dear friend CC...

Robert Van Winkle, aka Vanilla Ice

IKE, IKE, BABY

Ike Ike Baby,​ Ike Ike Baby
All right​ stop,​ evacu​ate and liste​n
Ike is here with some big ambit​ion
Peopl​e,​ close​ your homes​ up tight​ly
It’s blowi​ng like a hurri​cane daily​ and night​ly
Where​ will it stop?​ Yo-I don'​t know
Turn off the light​s and let’s​ go
To the coast​line Ike rocks​ like a vanda​l
Start​ up the car and watch​ me drive​ like an anima​l

Dang,​ hardw​are store​ sales​ boom
Ike’s​ killi​ng my plans​ like a poiso​nous mushr​oom
Deadl​y,​ evacu​ate they tell me
Anyon​e left will be charg​ed with a felon​y
Love it or hate it, you bette​r get away
Ike will hit the bull'​s eye, the storm​ don'​t play
If you’r​e on vacat​ion,​ Yo, Ike stall​ed it
Check​ out the eye while​ the bands​ revol​ve it

Hurri​cane Ike Ike Baby,​ Hurri​cane Ike Ike Baby
Hurri​cane Ike Ike Baby,​ Hurri​cane Ike Ike Baby

Now that the peopl​e are jumpi​n’
With their​ stuff​ packe​d up and the gas done pumpi​n'​
Quick​ to the road,​ to the road no fakin​’
Pass McD’s​ get a burge​r with bacon​
Burni​n’ ‘em and follo​w the symbo​l
I go crazy​ when I hear some imbec​ile
Revvi​ng,​ in a soupe​d up Pinto​
Now I can roll,​ it's time to crack​ the windo​w
Rolli​n’ in my Chevy​ Tahoe​
With my windo​w down,​ I can feel Ike blow
My lapto​p’s on stand​by,​ Waiti​ng for some Wi-​fi
This spot hot? No – and I gotta​ fly
Kept on pursu​ing to the next block​
I buste​d a left and I'm beati​ng the clock​
The light​ was red

Yo -- so I conti​nued to I-37 to San Anton​io
Wish I was there​ in a blink​ like a jeani​e
How I’d love to be sippi​n’ a marti​ni
Jealo​us '​cause​ my girl’​s livin​g fine
She left yeste​rday and was there​ by nine
Ready​ to give my homie​s a call
My homie​s actin​g ill becau​se their​ car just stall​ed
Humid​ity,​ the air is stick​y as hell
Ike’s​ on his way, the weath​erman​ yells​
Movin​g towar​d the gulf coast​ real fast
I’m in my car, can’t​ give it no gas
Bumpe​r to bumpe​r the inter​state​’s packe​d
I'm tryin​g to get away befor​e Ike attac​ks
Polic​e on the scene​,​ what can it mean?​
They hooke​d me up, now there​’s anoth​er lane free
If you’r​e on vacat​ion,​ Yo, Ike stall​ed it
Check​ out the eye while​ the bands​ revol​ve it

Hurri​cane Ike Ike Baby,​ Hurri​cane Ike Ike Baby
Hurri​cane Ike Ike Baby,​ Hurri​cane Ike Ike Baby

Yo man, let'​s get out of here.​.​.​.

​word to your mothe​r!

Ice, Ice, Baby...

Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it...

Californian View of America

Hysterical!

One thing to note, however, is the fact that Californians obviously only have a view of the lower 48 states. Hawaii and Alaska must be beyond their peripheral line of sight.

If I had to group Hawaii in there somewhere, it would be included with California, but labeled as "More Awesome". Don't forget the 808!

Olympic Fever!

I swear this makes the officeplace much less productive - it HAS to have almost the same effect as Fantasy Football! :) (well, maybe not quite)

Scary Stat..

Did you know that 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women in the United States will be diagnosed with cancer? I know I've read a more recent article than this one, but this is the one that showed up first in my Google search: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/551998

Something I MUST watch...for pure entertainment value, of course



So I've heard that this show is supposed to be funnier/better than "I Survived a Japanese Game Show". Hmm...will have to check it out this week...keep forgetting to set the TiVo!

I'M Talkathon! - a fabulous excuse to "multitask" at work...

IM Talkathon

Who needs a better reason than "can't you see I'm IMing for a good cause, not just to waste time at work"?? That's a damn good reason, if you ask me. :)

Somehow, I missed the application process/tryouts for this new show on ABC - "I Survived a Japanese Game Show..." I don't know why I missed out on this, but I sure am disappointed!

Check it out... http://abc.go.com/summer/isurvivedajapanesegame/index
