She is going to be the next Bond girl. Hope she shows more skin than Eva Green. Hell I hope Eva Green decides to show more skin, maybe in the sequel to the Golden Compass…
But I must say, Olga is worthy of being a Bond girl.

JQuery: FancyBox
FancyBox? No! It’s not the script on my mom’s new Tupac style “Thug Life” tattoo with an additional arrow pointing downwards.

It’s another lightbox clone but I think it might be a fancyzoom clone. I dunno, who cares, I didn’t have to write it, and it’s pretty. I just pointed Mav to fancyzoom the other day for an image gallery he was slapping together. IT’s easy to get working and so is this one. I think this should replace any implementations of fancyzoom. It looks the same as fancyzoom but has better options: nicer title support, color overlays, animated & non-animated popups, IE pngfix already incorporated, image set support (aka previous/next) and some iframe support if you want. Check out few demos on the web site.

P.S. That’s got to be the gayest picture of Tupac ever.
Point Well Taken?
[quote][b]Man cuts car in half to make a point [/b]
TREDWORTH, England (UPI) — An outraged British man said he sawed his son’s car in half after local authorities clamped it for no reason.
Ian Taylor, 40 of Tredworth, England, said he was so upset to find his son’s Ford Fiesta was impounded, he was prompted to use a power disc cutter to chop it in half to stand up for his beliefs, the Sun reported Monday.
Taylor said the car was registered to be parked off the street, but the clamper nailed him because two inches of the back end was sticking out of the driveway.
“I had to make a point. The vehicle was totally legal where it was. It was a drastic step but I stand by my decision,” Taylor said.
Taylor said he told the clampers they could take the back end of the car because it was the section that violated the rules.[/quote]
That aughta show ‘em.

Ashley Olsen Makes Hot List
Wednesday, May 07, 2008
It seems that the Olsen twins have finally succeeded at distinguishing themselves from each other. Maxim Magazine’s recently released their Hot 100 List and placed Ashley at number 47. Noticeably absent was twin sister Mary-Kate, who was left off the list altogether. But maybe the men’s mag is just looking to stir up some sibling rivalry — they also included Ashlee, who ranked at number 18, and Jessica Simpson, much further down the list in 53rd place.
i am boofers papa

Then theres boofer who is a honkey, gay, older, and one shit shy of diahrrea (that means dumb). but believe me it’s true. just ask Boofer.
Sick Co-Workers
Seriously!? If you sound like you were just pulled out of the ocean from drowning when you cough, stay home! This bitch, from what I can tell, won’t chug a 40oz of DayQuil. She’s like 4 foot, a buck fifty and looks like a troll slash gypsy. Which doesn’t help my mental imaging when I hear her cough from across the room. Lets say if you had to ride the some elevator as her, you’d get really creeped out and cover you nose and mouth. I listen to the radio online. I usually turn down the commercials. For the past week, I’ve had them cranked. Stay home in your hurting trailer with you’re 40 cats, you whore.
And the Winner is….
[quote]Man who lost homes in Katrina claims $97M Powerball prize By MELINDA DESLATTE, Associated Press Writer
2 hours, 53 minutes ago
A construction company owner who lost two homes in Hurricane Katrina claimed a $97 million Powerball prize, a jackpot won off a ticket he bought at a convenience store where he stopped to buy his wife a gallon of milk.
When he turned in the winning ticket, Carl Hunter became the largest Powerball winner in Louisiana’s history. He won the jackpot in January, but the 73-year-old small businessman waited nearly four months to claim the prize.
An avid lottery player, Hunter said he already had bought a Powerball ticket on Jan. 16 at the gas station less than two blocks from his home in the New Orleans suburb of Metairie. But he stopped at the station again that day to buy milk — at the request of his wife, Dianne — and got a second “quick pick” ticket.
“I had some change, and one dollar was used to buy this ticket,” Hunter said Thursday at the Louisiana Lottery Corp. headquarters in Baton Rouge, where he claimed his prize.
“It’s all about milk,” his wife said, smiling.
The couple, surrounded by cameras, was decidedly low-key about the multimillion dollar win, saying they didn’t have specific plans for the money — besides retirement and the rebuilding of a camp lost to Katrina.
“I’m retiring, you know, naturally,” Carl Hunter said.
Hunter took a lump sum payment that will give him $33.9 million after taxes, according to lottery officials. Asked why he waited so long to turn in the winning ticket, Hunter said he wanted to wrap up some of his construction work and finish his outstanding contracts. In fact, Hunter’s wife Dianne said he was still at work this week.
“I don’t think about buying elaborate cars or homes,” Carl Hunter said.
Hunter said he owned two homes that were destroyed in 2005 by Katrina, and he and his wife moved into a Metairie home she owned after the storm, the home that was near the gas station where he bought his winning ticket.
The multimillion dollar win wasn’t Hunter’s first winning lottery ticket. He said he won $5,000 off a ticket a few years ago.
West Metairie Shell, the gas station where Hunter bought his ticket, will get $25,000 for selling the winning ticket. The station, tucked among brick ranch homes and raised wooden houses in a middle-class neighborhood, lost its roof during Katrina, and the store was looted.[/quote]
So, the problem isn’t that the guy is old or that he and his wife already had enough money to own three houses or that they’ll probably die before they even get to send half of the money. The problem isn’t that this guy’s already one the lotto once ( c’mon, a measley $5K?)…. THEY WON $97 MILLION DOLLARS!!! After taxes? $33 million.
Taxes suck.
