I was linked to this story from the “Support our Troops” Facebook page, and it really made me not only PO’d, but saddened as well.

KQLZ V99.1 FM in Boise takes the cake for this witty billboard! This is just too awesome, and it sure didn’t take too long for this billboard to pop up, just merely days after Biden’s f-bomb made national headlines. Check out the story from KBOI channel 2’s website:

Today’s fail boat material comes from an article I read from KTVB.com.

Burglars look straight into security camera during heist

Okay, my friend. First off, if you want to pull off a successful robbery, you must disguise yourself to at least SOMEWHAT hide your identity (ski mask, sunglasses, SHAVE YOUR BEARD, etc). Second off, do NOT look directly into the cameras. Just don’t do it!

… not that I’m saying I have experience with robbing stores or anything, but that just seems like common sense. Only in Idaho will you see a man foolish enough to look square into a camera while committing a crime.

First off, I want to apologize for neglecting this blog a wee bit! I’ve been swamped at work like no other. I’ll be blogging a bit more often in the coming weeks until I leave for Denver!

Just a bit of history before we get to this story: Yes. This really happened to me today. I am NOT kidding you, nor am I sugar-coating this. I hope I don’t get in trouble for posting the fact that I got summoned to jury duty on my blog, but I won’t be releasing any more information besides just that. I promise.

Here’s the story, after the jump. You can also read more info on what’s happening to this blog when I go on my mission soon at the bottom.

Today was another fine day in the city of trees, perfect weather for another Boise Flash Mob event. The weather was warm, and was absolutely great for being outdoors! After being cooped up at work in a cramped backoffice while working on my trusty laptop, it sure felt good to get outside and… well, dance in front of Boise City Hall. However, it was a bit different than having a live DJ in the city hall plaza. Check out this cool footage taken by a fellow flash-mobber.

Saturday mail deliveries may be a thing of the past! Check out this article from the Los Angeles Daily News.

As for me, considering at least half the mail that is delivered to our mailbox is junk mail, I sure wouldn’t miss Saturday deliveries. However, this could still be a pretty big deal, depending on how you look at it. Here’s what I’m thinking.

I’m getting ready to back up my laptop soon, and I decided to do some spring cleaning and organizing of my pictures. See some of my favorites (If you’re looking for porn, you’re out of luck) after the jump.
