This was the team formation for round 3 of the Halo 2 Frag Fest was as follows:

Team Damen
Edjamacated Guy
Nibaq
Fadibou
Mark

Team Da Hui
Ozy
Ripping Fabric
Kyon
Ramsey

Results? Out of atleast 10 games we played, Team Damen didn’t even come close to winning a single one! We totally got our asses kicked. Next time we should split up Team Da Hui and mix and match between their team and ours. We are no competition at the moment. The grudge match between Ripping Fabric and Fadibou resulted in Ripping Fabric winning.

The new Golf R32 was officially announced. This time around it will be packing more horse power and will hit 0 to 100 in 6.2 seconds. [Link]

Nibaq just gave me a link to a blog of a dickhead who seems to be really pissed at Kuwaitis because they don’t want to be his friend. He thinks Kuwaitis are the most hypocritical, racist, godless, backward country he has ever seen! Whats worse is the comments of some Kuwaitis that agree with him! [Link]

Update: This is a picture of Michael Cornn the dickhead. [Link]

After lunch when I came back to the office I saw a police car blocking the road to JW Marriott Hotel. Fadibou just told me its because there was a bomb threat, and they evacuated the building. Employees were also advised not to go back to work tomorrow.

A few days ago I was at McDonalds and I ordered the Fillet-O-Fish combo with a Quarter Pounder Sandwich. which was supposed to come up to a total of KD1.650 according to the “McDonalds Pricing Bug“. But suddenly the McDonalds chick was asking for KD1.850! I thought I must have miscalculated and had my lunch.

Yesterday night I passed by McDonalds and I asked the manager if they had increased the prices. He told me they had, by 50fils. Thats not 100% accurate though. Some of the value meals like the Fillet-O-Fish combo and the Double Cheese Burger combo were priced at a super value price of KD1. Now they are priced at KD1.150 which is a 150fils more expensive! The breakfast menu seems to be intact and unchanged, the 100fils ice cream cone is still 100fils also. When I asked the manager why the prices had increased, he told me that its due to the increase in the price of the goods. So now Starbucks and Mcdonalds have increased their prices, whos next? I heard Chilis also increased their prices.

As some of you may have noticed I placed a Google Ad on the right column of my blog. I also placed some ads on various other sites of mine after I read someone made $10,000 a month from these ads. After placing the Ads on my site yesterday afternoon, today I checked the stats and it seems I made around $1.25. Its nothing close to $10,000 a month but say I make $1.5 per day, in a year thats around $550. Its what I call fun money, little money you make which you can buy gadgets with. Its easy money but I really want to make $10,000 a month.. [Link]

Since the Daily Show returned with a new set, many of the devoted fans have complained about it. One guy went and created a website called Bring Back the Couch which talks about how the couch made the show, its really funny. So yeah. BRING BACK THE COUCH! [Link]
