Hock Show Weekend Top Five for October 26th – 31st, 2009
<b>1. No, Seriously Guys, This Is It.</b> That Michael Jackson Movie did pretty good business over the weekend, proving people want to see scary zombies on Halloween. I’m a little disappointed we won’t get to see that “Thriller” movie he was supposedly writing.
<b>2. It Was Halloween, Y’all</b> I hope you all got/gave away a lot of candy. Whatever’s most age appropriate for you. I did dress up this year. I was the concept of the Minnesota Twins. Make of that what you will.
<b>3. The World Series is Terrible.</b> So much for that “veteran” crew of umpires, huh? They’ve screwed up a handful of major calls already. Not that I want them to switch to the replay model, baseball is slow enough already. But get some people that can see.
<b>4. You Know What’s Better on Drugs? Tennis.</b> Andre Agassi admitted using meth during his tennis career, which explains his personal sense of…style. Also how he could put up with playing tennis for so long. I do love that he said that when he failed his drug test, he basically sent a letter to the WTO that said, “Oops, must’ve been an accident!” and the WTO said, “Oh. Ok then!”
<b>5. How Do You Say Lolcats in Arabic?</b> The Internet has noticed a pretty huge problem, you can only type URLs in romantic languages. Sure, you can sound the words you want to type out, but it kind of sucks for people who only read Cantonese or Kanji or Sanscrit? But ICANN has approved the theoretical registration of domain names that we can’t type yet. Because…some day it’ll matter.
