GLBT

2009-06-17T19:35:00.000-05:00

One last post.

Every time I see the letters "GLBT" I think it's some fancy variety of the classic BLT. Maybe they added guacamole. I don't know. But whenever I see it, I have to think twice about its meaning.

That is a BLTG not a GLBT.

I am going away for 2 years starting June 21st 2009.

I am going on a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Honolulu Hawaii.

I am not sure I will post anything between no and June 24th 2011 (when I return) so, this might be farewell.

I hope Scott will post a few times to keep this place alive. He's in China right now, though. We'll see.

Thank you for reading and spending time here.

Sincerely,
Cameron Hilker

Fact

When you turn a speaker upside down, the music doesn't come out upside down.

Apples to oranges

2009-05-08T09:43:00.027-05:00

Comparing apples

to oranges

really shouldn't be taboo.
They're actually pretty similar.

Similarities:

Food

Fruit

Roundish

Yummy

Can make juice out of them

Grow on trees

Are picked by people on ladders.

See? They are actually very much alike. I don't know why the expression "that's like comparing comparing apples to oranges" is used when someone talks about putting dissimilar items in the same category.

Instead of simply complaining about a problem in the universe, I will offer several solutions:

"That's like comparing apples

airplanes."

"That's like comparing apples

piles of books."

"That's like comparing apples

70s rock bands."

"That's like comparing apples

video game consoles from the 1990s."

There are countless other items that are much more dissimilar from apples than oranges.

Whoever picked oranges as the contrast to apples is a fool.

Five-stars?

I just thought that this was deliciously ironic, and I had to share.

I don't think I could find two more

serious-looking, angry, bald men if I tried.

And I found them doing an assignment

for ECON--my main inspiration.

Lazy vs. Efficient

2009-04-07T01:26:00.002-05:00

Dictionary.com's first definition of "efficient:"

"Efficient
adjective
performing or functioning in the best possible manner with the least waste of time and effort; having and using requisite knowledge, skill, and industry; competent; capable."

It is interesting to note that with minor alterations, I can produce a definition for "lazy."

"Lazy
adjective
performing or functioning in a good-enough manner with the least waste of time and effort; having and using a good-enough amount of knowledge, skill, and industry; competent enough; capable enough."

How do I know?

2009-04-05T18:35:00.001-05:00

Utahns call TV shows "shows." They also call movies "shows."

When they are talking about some visual media of which I have never heard, I have no way to discern whether it is a movie or if it is a show.
I don't get it.

ECON 110, you're on a roll

English, You're So Silly

2009-03-17T12:29:00.000-05:00

Home and house can be synonyms, right?

So can maker and builder, right?

How did we end up with:

House Builder

and

Homemaker?

War of Attrition

I learned this winter that if you're not wearing gloves, don't start a snowball fight with someone who is. They are going to win every time. Sooner or later your hands will get frostbite and you'll get hit in the face with a snowball. And then get hit several more times. And you won't be able to retaliate because your hands are too cold to hold things.

Watch out for that DEBRIS!

Night Noises

2009-03-09T19:51:00.002-05:00

What the heck makes all those sounds in the middle of the night when no one else is around or awake?

Econ, you should be proud of yourself. You're in the blog twice!

This is part of my online text book.

Sometimes, I wonder if such obvious

statements really need to be made.

Error

I just thought that that was one of the coolest screen errors I ever saw.

I have reason to believe this girl likes me.

2009-02-26T16:20:00.000-06:00

On the back of my neck she wrote "I love you" in Japanese.

Valentine's Day?

This is a real question on a real Econ exam (Fall 2007 Econ 110 midterm at BYU)

I just dumped out my laundry basket, and look what I got!

2009-02-03T14:01:00.001-06:00

Have you ever seen a cube of clothing before?

Me neither.

JAPAN! Part juu hachi

I've had this picture on my computer for over 6 months and just

today I noticed the praying mantis in the corner. That's pretty cool

I took this picture on one my long walks around Aoi's neighborhood.

Texans

2009-01-26T22:06:00.010-06:00

I bet they were not happy in 1959 when Alaska came in and beat them for biggest state.

But they still have the biggest egos.

From most to least fun:

Underwear

2009-01-11T14:50:00.002-06:00

Boys have three types of underwear: boxers, boxer briefs, and briefs. Boxers are the ultimate in comfort but lack the support and security award by the other types of underwear. Briefs are the exact opposite. They provide support but are very restrictive. Boxer briefs are for dudes who want to wear briefs but feel they would be laughed at by men in the locker room or their girlfriend for wearing "whitey tighties".

Boys have three types; girls have about a thousand different styles. Why do you need that many?

"EPIC FAIL!" "Hokay, So." Grape lady falls! "You're the man now, dog!" "All your base are belong to us!" "You're a kitty!" "Charlie bit me!" "My favorite is radicchio!" "Shoesssss." "Schfifty-five!" "Did you mean French military losses?"
