Zomgee

I had started writing an article to be published today, but decided for the sake of Zomgee to spare you all.

Instead, I bring you Zomgee: A Year in Review. I would recommend going back through the montly archives to say hi to all our old posts, but here are the top 12 as I see them, based on hits, humor, and quality:

…to be reminded that people still hate others any day of the year. Any problem can be traced to pride, but while dealing with roots running too deep in our sinful nature, pride can lead in so many directions, especially when coupled with ignorance. If you haven’t seen this story already, it can be shocking:

Santa-Suit gunman’s rampage leaves 9 dead

As Christmas Eve night fast approaches, the World is largely concerned with Santa Claus and while there is much to be learned about his history through popular culture it is rare that you hear about his biological roots in this world. Who is this Santa Claus and where does he come from? To answer these questions I have turned to an early work written by one of the few eyewitnesses of Santa’s gift giving. Twas the Night Before Christmas chronicles the tale of a young man who catches a quick glimpse of the jolly Christmas figure. The story offers an excellent description part of which never quite made sense when compared to the modern depiction of Santa. Clement Moore states upon hearing a clatter he saw “a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny rein-deer with a little old driver.” We see all kinds of mall displays and movies that show Santa as a full grown man, but coming from the one person that actually saw him, we find that he is little and fits into a miniature sleigh. My eyes are opened when I read line by line of the story as I believe I know Santa’s true back story. He is in fact, a hobbit.

Just wanted to say thanks to OhYo for ruining Zomgee forever. As such, we’ll be shutting down shortly. Or maybe not, but he needs to learn that causing epileptic seizures is not good.

That being said, I haven’t really had much time to think of a topic today, so because I’m cool like that, I leave you with one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on youtube. By now everyone has seen the Mac vs PC commercials, and while I tend to reside squarely between Vista and Ubuntu as my weapon of choice, these commercials can elicit any sort of response from me… rage, laughter, etc.

Without further pause or delay, I bring you the most epic (and I do mean epic) Mac vs PC commercial ever.

Fantabulous Friday!

As per idle threats by certain patrons Zomgee, I, OhYo, present to you the first of many fantabulous “Fantabulous Friday” posts. So what sort of things might a passerby read here on Fantabulous Friday? Well, at the very least, it must be fantabulous; and it’s totally cool that Microsoft Word says fantabulous is a real word. (Mozilla disagrees) What does the word fantabulous mean exactly?

It is a portmanteau of fantastic and fabulous; which is something new to me. Fabutastic just doesn’t seem to have the same ring to it. Either way, it should be some fun stuff.

So what’s on your mind lately? Probably shopping for your respected “holy day,” we can only presume. Marketers don’t really care, they just want you to spend, and I suppose it couldn’t hurt the economy (or could it?) What’s really scary is the type of psyche western society has on shopping. Men scoff at women for being utterly enthralled by the thought of shopping, observing items for sale and “lookin’ for deals/coupons,” while women jeer at the thought of how men rush into stores to acquire goods without penalty of price or simply not bother to go shopping entirely. I was at work the other day and I saw this little girl with a t-shirt that said “I love shopping!” or something similar on it. Better learn ‘em young. My marketing teacher advised that consumers are smart and are intelligible in the ways of consuming. This is probably the only thing I would have disagreed on. What do you think? Do people generally make stupid decisions when buying things? Do you?

Gag gifts are great. The best part about them is that they know you had them in mind when you were shopping for this item. Un-useful items make great gag gifts. Umbrella hats, microphone-shaped bathing sponges and custom TP printed with “Do a barrel roll!” all over it applies. Just a thought for those still shopping; get something dumb for once.

Be thankful I didn’t rant about Saturnalia. Oh, and welcome to the new Zomgee. I have until 10:06 to think of something to write for next Friday.
