it feels good outside today

It feels really good outside today.  It finally feels like fall / autumn.  So I went outside this morning, enjoying the near-70 temperatures with a slight breeze.  I walked around the block, and it felt really good.  Then I decided to jog the next time around the block, but all of a sudden it got really hot and sweaty for some reason, so I went back inside.  Perhaps there’s a lesson to be learned here…

a moment of seriousness to help a fellow blogger

Here at Buffet o’ Blog, we like to look at the humorous side of things, focusing on funny, random stuff.  And so we rarely talk about serious or sad things.  But what should we do if this blog is so funny and random that it sets the bar too high for one of our friends who has his own blog, causing him depression?  It appears that this has happened.  One of our regulars, Fab, has his own blog now : Simply Fab, yet he hasn’t written a new post in over a month.

His lack of writing is obviously because he’s jealous of this site and feels inadequate to make his blog even half as cool.  So we’d like to take a moment to encourage him and to let him know that it’s not good to compare himself against others.  Fab, you should write what’s in your heart, even if it doesn’t measure up to the (ridiculously high) standard we set here at Buffet o’ Blog.  There’s still an audience for you.  There are people for whom our randomness is just too much, so they need some other alternative.  And that’s where you come in.  You can target this niche group, and provide blogging entertainment for them.  Your blog doesn’t have to remain obscure forever.  (But you will have to provide content on a somewhat regular basis.)

I hope this helps Brother Fab.  And I apologize for stepping away from humor for a moment.  I felt it was necessary, because our humor was actually causing undue grief and feelings of insecurity for one of our readers, and that’s not right.  Now we can return you to your regularly scheduled randomness, since Brother Fab now knows why he’s been blogstipated (and knowing is half the battle!).

Halo costume

How would you like to have the coolest costume for Halloween?

Halo costume, 2
You can now buy a Master Chief costume, which is the main character from the popular video game Halo.  This would be way impressive to all your gaming friends, and actually it would probably look really cool to someone who doesn’t even play video games.  It looks to be really well done.  The problem is, it costs over a thousand dollars (and rising), or you can buy it now for $2,000.  Here’s the link to it on eBay : .

You would almost definitely look cool wearing this for Halloween or at costume parties, even if you’re not all buff or good-looking to start with, because the suit takes care of all that.  However, if you have to spend over a thousand dollars to look cool…

Will it blend?

You might’ve heard of the website called .  It’s a collection of videos where they use a Blendtec blender and try to blend all sorts of objects.  In a way, it’s like one of those stupid games you might see on David Letterman, but this is better than most of that stuff.  It has the look and feel of an old TV game show, which is neat in a retro sort of way.  But what sets this apart from other websites is how random and unusual it is.  Have you ever wanted to put non-food items in a blender to see what happens?  The guy in these videos gets to do it for his job!  And he does a good job, possessing a super cheesy smile while various items are being blended into a big mess.

Some of the things they’ve blended are a dozen , 6 Bic lighters (which creates an interesting explosion), even an (which he then put on eBay with a blender and it sold for $901), , a , , a can of soup, (really), , (which create cool glass dust), and much more.

The latest video is bad guys versus Chuck Norris.  Since the real Chuck Norris was unavailable at the time, he used action figures.  He tossed several bad guys and Chuck Norris in the blender, to let them duke it out in there.  The results are amazing.

Perhaps I need to get one of these blenders, because they look like a lot of fun…
