Romney’s prank call

lol! Romney gets a prank call from ‘Arnold Schwarzenegger’…or at least someone with a soundboard. It’s pretty good:

Even better, though, is this great prank call from ‘Mr. Rogers’. “Have you by any chance lost your kitty?”

Conan made Huckabee? Colbert responds to this false claim

Conan O’Brien made a claim on his show recently that he was responsible for making Huckabee. Whoa! What’s this? Colbert gets angry and replies to the show on the Colbert Report.

Really, I don’t think Conan has any room to debate. Colbert actually had Huckabee on his show. All that Conan has is a few pictures. Lame! Besides, Colbert is Huckabee’s running mate. Check it out:

“Thanks to the Colbert bump, Governor Mike Huckabee will be the next President.”

Reeling in the big one, fisherman catches a stretch Hummer limousine

Talk about a good day on the lake…

Boating on Lake Texoma seemed like just another day for Bob Faulkner until he reeled in what he calls the biggest catch of his life. He never expected that his big catch would turn out to be a stretch Hummer limousine.

Faulkner knew he hit something large and had to get it out of the water. When he attached his anchor and tried to remove the object, he pulled in a large piece of vinyl.

Faulkner says he couldn’t believe his eyes as the roof just kept coming out of the water. He says finding any vehicle in the lake was a shock, but realizing he “caught” a stretch limousine is one catch he says he’ll never forget.

D’oh! Microsoft supports calls back 10 years late

Last Tuesday, a man received an unwarranted call from someone claiming to be Microsoft support - or at least that’s what he thought at first. As it turns out, allegedly, back in 1998, the man had called Microsoft support for help with a computer problem. According to his story, Microsoft support scheduled to call him back the next day. What prevented him from receiving the call? According to him, a simple typo.

Look at the top of your keyboard….

On January 7, 1998 a Tech Support person typed into their database to call me back the next day… but instead of typing 1/8/98 they typed 1/8/08

Instead of typing the “9″ right next to it they typed “0″

I have no idea if this tale is correct or not, but it would be rather funny if it’s true. It’s an honest mistake that would give the Microsoft support staff something to cheer up their day. D’oh!
