Ebay Listing

It seems that you can buy pretty much anything via drive-thru nowadays.

We are all familiar with the drive-thrus at McD's, BK, Wendy's, and the rest. I frequently use my bank's drive-thru ATM. We've even heard all about drive-thru weddings in Las Vegas.

A noteworthy entry in Ebay's real estate section auctions off "Climax World Famous Gentlemans Club and Nude Drive Thru." Apparently, this semi-popular strip joint east of Pittsburgh offers patrons the opportunity to pay $10 for a minimum of one minute of watching through a drive-thru window. The starting bid was $299,000.00, but any offers are requested via e-mail, so it's difficult to say how many serious inquiries they are receiving.

I guess in that town, you have a completely different reaction when the teen casually tells you that she works at "the drive-thru window."

Would you like fries with that?

1754blog

I got my very first hat tip today from someone I don't personally know!

Those of you who have been paying attention will have noticed that I added a link to 1754blog.com (link now broken) in my menu. While looking at my stats today, I noticed that I got a referral from the site. It turns out that someone there read my previous entry (regarding NASA's World Wind) and decided to post a link.

I apologize for the self-indulgence, but I really didn't think that anyone was actually reading this blog, save for the 5 people I badger about reading it on a nearly-daily basis.

If you have not yet taken a moment to peruse 1754blog.com, please do so. I kind of think of it as "What if Drudge ran a blog?" It's really quite cool, I assure you.

Numa Numa Dance

I know I'm a bit late to this particular internet phenomenon, but I figured it was worth sharing anyway, since many have never seen this . . .

If you haven't seen the "Numa Numa Dance" (a.k.a. "Mya Mya," "Mya Hee, Mya Haa," "Hilarious Dude Lip Syncing," and many other things) video yet, you simply must take the time to watch it. It's basically a guy (Gary Brolsma) lip-syncing to a song titled Dragosta Din Tei by O-Zone.

You can watch the video here. I suggest clicking "View without subtitles" to see the best version in all its glory. You can also watch a larger version of the same video here, but that version also has dumb pictures interspersed throughout the video. I prefer to watch the weird guy the entire way through, thank you very much.

Uber-Update: Watch the New Numa Dance, too!

Update: I decided to add this link, since some people apparently want the info. Read the Dragosta Din Tei lyrics in both Romanian and English. If you're interested in buying the song, grab the single at Amazon. This import single includes the Original Romanian Version, the Original Italina Version, the Dj Ross Radio Mix, the Dj Ross Extended Remix, and the Unu In The Dub Mix. What more could you possibly want?
