Looked up the definition of “Dol” today. Just thought it a little strange:

1. a unit of pain intensity
2. (Korean): shout to cut off discriminative thinking
3. The administrative agency of the federal government that enforces and administers laws and regulations affecting employees at work.

Do you think they planned that?

So,YouTube has a few strange policies that are affecting me a bit. If you haven’t seen my famous Tiger video you need to check it out. Now, for the record, all I did was take the video. I have NOTHING to do with the comment section which is out of hand underneath. There is everything from the stupid to the crass. My biggest complaint is when people cannot figure out how to comment correctly and end up emailing me directly. Besides that it is quite an interesting read.

Now I say “famous”, but don’t take my word for it. YouTube constantly updates stats. I have even made the #1 most viewed video on a given day. Here are the latest stats.

I was also featured on the BBC. There is even a Korean blog site that has provided over 300,000 clicks! Now with all the depravity that occurs around this video, you would think that it would come down, right? Nope.

So, what does Beuk.tv post that gets blocked? Why pictures of his baby daughter shaving her legs in the tub like Mommy. Most of my videos have ~200 views. Usually, my dad one time, Jack one time, and me 198 times, BUT the two videos of G in the tub jumped to 4000+ views before YouTube took it down. I get it. It hit some sick depraved website and all of a sudden a lot of sickos posting crazy comments caused the YouTube police to take notice (still talking about the baby here, not the tigers) The reason?

Rejected (content inappropriate)

Let me see if I get this right. Babies in tub=BAD, Tigers eating cow=GOOD. Sort of a sad commentary on today’s society, don’t you think?

I am reviewing my notes for my trip to Korea and I came across this from one of my lectures:

“Korea invented the pluviometer“

Didn’t America invent this, and didn’t we call it a bucket? ;)

I think this is Korean for beware of dangerous “lay-zer” beams that can slice you in half!

(I crack me up)

I don’t know enough about the L.A. crime scene besides what I can assume happens behind closed doors at the Chinese Theater and what I saw in L.A. Confidential, but “me thinks I smell a rat.”

The first story that caught my attention was of the Korean couple trapped in the snow for nine days. The father worked at CNET and they burned tires to survive. It is a great survival tale, the problem is there is just not enough information and too many questions left unanswered:

• Why did this family attempt to make the drive through the blinding snow?
• How did they get on a road that in one night shut them off from all other traffic for nine days?
• How come nobody else went down this road?
• What kind of road do smart people drive on with their kids, but nobody else drives on?
• The mother and two young kids survive, but the father “goes off” to find help?

It just does not make sense. The worst part is that the details have not been filled in since the mother was rescued. Why? This sounds like a Korean mob hit to me and a little story made up to cover their tracks, so to speak.

While I have been pondering this story a new one, again out of L.A., just came up:

USC’s kicker was found dead at the bottom of a cliff. Note this story does not say he jumped, and it discuses that he did not have any equipment with him for other activities. I do not have that many friends, but even I will not go to the movies by myself. So, why was he by himself? Assuming he was not, why haven’t his friends come forward? Are we really to think that after an incredible football game as the star kicker during the holidays he went off to watch the sunset by himself and slipped? The more likely story is that he hit one too many field goals for the bookies to collect and the gambling ring was none too happy. I think they went for the extra point with him instead.

I need one more to be a pattern, but it seems that there is something going on in L.A. that I just don’t understand. Gotta go. My black helicopter awaits.

Seriously, does taking a dump need to be this difficult? At the customer
site where I am working they just installed these new toilet “lids”. NOTE:
It does not change the actual function of having to flush the toilet by
yourself. No infrared sensor. No motion sensor. You still have to pull
the handle. On the contrary, it provides you with a whole host of options
for your bum, ala Captain Kirk’s chair.

I cannot read Korean, but looking at the 1,2,3…15! sensors on the left it
seems I will need to pick up the manual before I even begin to err. “get down to
business”. (Really, the manual is hanging from the wall on the left. Not
shown).

The first feature that catches my eye is the digital LED of the
number 6. I am not sure what this I counting.

Is it the temperature? – No. To low even for Celsius.
Is it my weight? – Not unless we are on the moon.
Is it a countdown till the next auto spray? – Thankfully, no.
Is it the number of “kids” in the pool? – Now that would be something.

The fact is I could not figure out what it was counting, so I moved on. The
next icon I noticed was the bum with spray symbol shooting up into it. My
comment on this is “No way Jose”. Or hose B or any other hose that wants to
pop out and spray me. It seems there are at least 8 different angles from
which one might spray their bottom if they are so inclined. Now I
understand using chopsticks and getting your face all messy. What are the
Koreans doing that they need a 360 degree spray down?

There is a light symbol. What are we lighting up? There are several other
icons of which I could not read or identify by their “universal” symbol. I
guess it could be worse. It could be China’s hole in the ground. So, by
that comparison, it is a giant leap forward. I am just not sure why Asia
has to be all or nothing.

Another interesting tidbit is that it took two days to install these seats
in two bathrooms on the 30th of 35 floors. Was the need that great to
employ three electricians to wire a whole office tower for toilet seats? I
know I am just starting my MBA, but I fail to see how this company is making
any money. Actually, I guess I should be thinking if the salesman can
succeed in this shitty business he could sell anything.

Because I was curious and I was not going to be able to leave until I mashed
at least one button, I got up and pushed the one on the far right.
Correction, I positioned myself as far away from the toilet as possible in
the stall, so as not to get hit by any stray spray. I then used my foot to
reach out and push the one button on the right which was all by itself. I
figured it would either do something exciting or nothing at all. I was
right. It made a nice little squirt sound. The problem is I did not SEE
anything, so I am unsure just exactly WHAT got squirted.

On the plus side I must admit, I did enjoy the seat warmer.
Flush!

Ok, I must say, “I do not like China Eastern”. The planes tend to be old.
I have to take a bus coming and going. The seats are dingy and small. BUT
on my recent trip to Korea I was pleasantly surprised to board a brand new
shining member of the MU fleet. The seats had room and were clean. The
flight attendants looked nice and were color coded according to
responsibility.

The only complaint I had was about one of the new features: power. The
planes now have a power plug located on the back of the seat in front of
you. It is a great idea, and makes you wonder why it took them so long to
think of it. The problem is Chinese power cords do not fit these plugs! A
Chinese plug is sort of a Y without being connected in the middle. This
means that you need the two slanty bits and the straight bit. Neither of
which will fit the above plug found on the new CHINA EASTERN plane.
What idiot made the China plane not accept Chinese power cords?

Must have been an Auburn engineer. (I would have said UGA, but they don’t
know what power is.)
