Thanksgiving Weigh in

Over the past few years; my brother and I have gotten into a tradition where we do a “weigh in” for Thanksgiving to see who can eat more food.  We weigh ourselves IMMEDIATELY before sitting down to eat – and then again IMMEDIATELY after finishing our meals.

Results follow.  I have pretty much set a record here for the brothers VanBergen weigh in.

BEFORE EATING:

Vanbergs:  182.8 lbs
Vanberge:  248.0 lbs

AFTER EATING:

Vanbergs:  186.6 lbs
Vanberge:  254.0 lbs

NET WEIGHT GAIN / AMOUNT OF FOOD CONSUMED:

Vanbergs:  3.8 lbs
Vanberge:  6.0 lbs

You mean jjafuller? [Y] Y

You enter jjafullers room…He is sleeping.
You notice he has a dangerous looking Wans’s Weapon by his bed..
Are you sure you want to attack him?

Your command, Vanberge?  [A] : D

In a spectacular move, you drive your weapon up between jjafuller’s
legs.  You grin as your Able’s Sword crunches noisily.

You hit jjafuller for 608 damage!

Your command, Vanberge?  [A] : D

In a situation like this, you need every advantage you can get.

** ULTRA POWERFUL MOVE **

After exchanging blows & blocks for nearly a minute, jjafuller
gets too fancy, and as a result an attempt to jump a low swing results
in the severing of your enemy’s left leg.  His remaining leg slips in
blood.

You hit jjafuller for 476 damage!

Ernest has finally learned his lesson it seems.

You have killed jjafuller!

The Website is Down

Seems like forever ago that I saw the very first video from these guys – “Sales guy vs. Web dude”.  The video was simply hilarious.

The video is pokes at a day in the life of a typical IT guy.  The entire thing is seen from Web dude’s PC monitor viewpoint as he runs through a gambit of tech support hijinks.  But, what makes this video so great in my opinion is the realism.  The tools and actions he takes are completely realistic with how the IT world actually functions and I completely relate to it 100%.

But what I didn’t really know is that these guys have made more than just that one video.  They actually have 4 different episodes featuring what has become my favorite Anti-Hero: Web Dude.  These videos are simply hysterical and I cannot get enough of them.

I find myself wanting to do things like Web Dude does… Use Skype, call Laslo the datacenter gangster, and sticky-nade my team mates.  lol.

I seriously  BEG anyone reading this to watch all of these videos because they are LITERALLY top shelf productions that deserve to be seen by the entire Earth.
