happy thanksgiving childrens

xp or something

sorry for my absence childrens but they gave me a new machine at work so we have a temporary pause in the peso. we'll be back in action next week.

when sorry just isn't enough...

...a picture of lingerie super-models usually does the trick.

it's been a short week for updates, my apologies. apparently my place of employment got the crazy idea that they pay me money to accomplish tasks for them. i know crazy huh. anyways have no fear i am back to the omaly antics and am a force to be reckoned with. we have a thursday update today cuz mister pesopants is taking the day off tomorrow for uncle jonathan's wedding. congrats uncle j we'll see you tomorrow. shit i need a wedding gift.

daily clickables childrens:

news, aim and zen goodies.

i found this pic on yahoo but i'll let you think of your own caption.

check out this whiteboy who can jump. (right click vid)

hmm...

ouch.

super mario with a shotgun. pointless but entertaining fun.

let's do a cd review

yesterday while purchasing a birthday gift for l.s. (i bought him metallica's "and justice for all" because he's had my copy of that disc for like 3 years now) i decided to treat myself to a random cd purchase. i don't usually just buy cd's for myself but i decided to be spontaneous. that and i had just endured a week of thinking i had no money so i had to have some kind of money catharsis. moving on.

the album i decided to purchase was mudvayne's "the end of all things to come." i had never really heard of mudvayne until i saw them at the summer sanitarium concert a few months back. these guys rock. aside from you know who they were by far my favorite band at the show, after a 45 minute set i was instantly a fan. if you are at all into the heavier side of rock/alternative music you can't go wrong with these guys. heavy riffs, double-bass drumming, and even some slap bass all work together for a thunderous good time (double-bass drumming takes on a new level of kickass when you have a solo-baric cab in your trunk...). i'm not sure what my favorite tune is because i haven't gone through the whole album yet but i'll get back to you on that. suffice it to say as soon as i popped the disc in i was compelled to turn the volume up to bumpin status, not background noise, but shake the car next to me noise. highly recommended.

on a musical side note me and the boys are doing our first show in beverly hills tomorrow night. it should be interesting as we are playing 13 songs and i have 1 song(s) memorized so far. give me a shout if you wanna check it.

i know it's only monday but i think i have the hottie of the week already.

here's a love calculator like you all have been asking me for.

have you ever wondered what the kaka bird is all about?

omaly with the swizeet dish. booya.

it may come as a suprise to my readers that i am in fact a baller. well now you know. moving on...

not to beat this matrix theme over the head but if i change it i'll have to go through and change image backgrounds (it should be quite obvious at this point that me and photoshop have barely squeezed out a working relationship) and all that jazz so let's just ride it into december. on that note is anyone else astounded that the month of november is half over or is it just me? then again who cares, it's payday. in any case it's l.s. birthday today so be sure to give him a shout. you can count on some celebratory brewhou between us this evening so pack your steins and pint glasses doods.

on a side note, i had a sweet dream last night. for some reason i was a convict and i was running from the cops. unlike the real me, dream-me could actually run and jump over walls and stuff. as luck would have it i jump over a wall and find not an empty field that is my freedom but a school yard full of children. like most schools in my hometown these kids all had guns. so instead of just running from the cops i am also dodging kiddie bullets. luckily i was able to snatch a gun from one kid (he was probably a band nerd). by the time i actually aim it at someone to start some business, the cops are already all around me. at this point i go to put the gun down and it accidentally goes off, but because it was accidental the bullet decides to just explode and not actually be a projectile. the last part i remember is the cops not doing anything about my antics and me cleaning out bullet fragments from the gun. i love dreams.

on another side note, table 95 dudes hit me up for some poker already. what does the friday after thanksgiving look like for everybody (i'm booked until then)? i don't mind hosting just lemme know who can make it.

we got a new deep thought courtesy of me and weaz. aim goodies as well. i'm slacking on the news section so here's a quick update: the fires are out, we had flash floods on wednesday (took me 3 hours to get home), kobe didn't enter a plea and my knee is sore. that's about all that went down for two weeks.

this looks painful. (mpeg movie, right click with pride)

funny flash about baby poo.

celebrity mugshots. good clean fun childrens.

you saw it here first. guinness is good for you.

puzzle game with cool techno.

this game is for my fellow cube-dwellers.

strangely addictive aquarium game. this one sped my thursday along nicely.

dr g bailed us out with the hottie of the week:

movie review, kinda

as you are probably aware i saw "matrix revolutions" on saturday night. it ended up being 14 of us leetle hoodlums. on a side note outback steakhouse did a commendable job of handling 13 beer drinkin, meat eating dudes. on another side note sandy did a commendable job putting up with 13 dudes. ok on to the movie.

on the whole the movie was not what i expected but it did a respectable job of presenting the material and rounding out the story. i think the ending of "matrix reloaded" created such a buzz about the possibilities for the end of the trilogy (the "matrix within a matrix" theory ran rampant on internet discussion forums) that the respectable job of completing the story and delivering some kickass (if not a tad overdone) action scenes was overlooked in light of everyone just wanting to know how the story ends. all that to say, aside from the hype i think "revolutions" was by far one of the better action flicks of the year and is a solid piece of the puzzle that is the matrix trilogy. so that's my two pesos, here's a kickass site called metaphilm that has some alternate interpretations of the matrix series. highly recommended if you are into the "deep" stuff. as a matter of fact their inaugural article on the original matrix is what got them famous.

last time i left you childrens the lakers were 5-0 coming off an impressive double overtime victory against the admittedly under-staffed spurs. since then they have lost 2 straight, one to the grizzlies of all teams. i need a beer.

i'll get some news and aim and games and girlies and stuff up on friday so stay tuned omaly-heds.

six pound hamburger.

condom soup.

crazy lady kills husband then gets hair done.

oops we did it again...

well the spurs were surprisingly competitive last night, giving the lake show all they could handle even without parker and duncan. ginobli proved to be a handful and put on an impressive performance with 33 points, 12 boards and 7 dimes. blah blah blah we still won. i don't care who was or wasn't there, we came, we saw, we left with a big W. do i hear 6-0 tonight...?

as you have probably guessed todays episode of omaly is dedicated to two of my favorite things: basketball and the matrix movies. i went ahead and organized a full on pilgrimage to check it out on saturday night. beav, l.s., mau and alison, the band homies, mark from table 95 fame, and weaz and sandy (don't tell them they don't know it yet cuz they're in the matrix) are all gonna be in my matrix posse. if you don't see your name on the list that means you need to call a brutha up and see some matrix. pass the grits there willis.

we got some reader mail all the way from korea. atta kid todd.

this lady is hardcore. way to go.

far out dude.

me and weaz are moving to england to live on this street.

fun with a skeleton puppet. actually this guy has tons of cool stuff so relax and stay awhile. but not too long cuz this is your home.

sweet hunting games without the hassle of picking up dead things.

my lunch spilled today

it's the little things in life that really piss me off sometimes. then i remember what the philosopher epictetus said:

"seek not that the things which happen should happen as you wish; but wish the things which happen to be as they are, and you will have a tranquil flow of life."

epictetus, chapter 8 of the enchiridion

ok i get it you crazy greek dead dude. i was looking forward to some chowder but i guess somethings were not meant to be chowed.

here's some links from the omaly community. seriously you guys are on your game lately.

mau was a chap and sent me this hilarious flash movie.

this one is from beav.

mike found a list of the worst album covers ever.

some deep thoughts about fanta

on friday i purchased a fanta strawberry soda. while it was a suitable beverage choice in hindsight i should have gone with grape cuz the grape fanta girl is a sweet drink of nummy hottie nirvana. anyways the label advertised the following: "1 in 4 wins another fanta" or something like that. sure enough i popped the cap and won myself another fanta or other 20 oz coke product. this got the old omaly wheels a turnin' and sure enough i came up with the following little gem.

assuming the integrity of the coca-cola company, the odds of winning another fanta are a nice even 25%. at least this is what basic probability tells us. it's a simple enough ratio but we have to remember that we can only use this to measure probability, it in no way predicts future results. also, a statistical probability has more chance of being proven the more times it is tested. probability becomes more probable, so to speak. for example, flipping a coin has more or less a 50/50 chance (or 1 in 2) of yielding a face up heads. having said that, i'm sure all of us can speak from common experience and say that heads and tails rarely take their turns like good little children and alternate every time. this is where the abstract math and real world results soon part ways. while it is certainly possible to record an occurance of perfect 50/50 distribution of two mutually exclusive possibilities, the average dude or dame will have results that stray from this; however, each flip of the coin will theoretically bring the test results closer to the ideal statistical happy place. let's put a twist on this and apply it to our fanta scenario:

first let's set up our control statement to cover our hypothetical ass:

we have already assumed the integrity of coke. for hypothetical purposes let's assume that the inventory of fanta at our imaginary store is unbiased (that is, our store has the same win fanta/no win fanta ratio that other stores have). now let's imagine that our particular store has 20 fantas in the cooler. simple math tells us that 5 of those fantas are winners (again assuming perfect product distribution). moving on.

our control details above dictates that our little example ensures us a 1 in 4 chance of getting winning fanta. let's take it a step further and unleash some hypothetical probability on our hypothetical purchase. let's add one more control variable and say that we are buying 4 fantas. i see three distinct possibilities:

1. our purchase yields no winning fantas, thereby slightly increasing the odds from 25% to almost 33% for the next customer.
2. our purchase yields one winning fanta, leaving the ratio of winners to non-winners in the cooler unaffected.
3. our purchase yields more than one winning fanta, significantly reducing the next customer's chance of winning.

so just by buying four sodas we can really tweak with some math. if we get 1 winner we have left nature at piece. if we don't get any winners we give the next lucky schmuck a slightly better chance at scoring some free fanta. if we have four winners we all but eliminate the chances for any remaining fanta customers (unless they purchase all remaining fantas). it's almost like stackable probability or something.

all this leads to my final theory: i have a 1 in 4 chance of scoring one of the fanta girls. you have the evidence, i await my fantana fun.

i hope you kiddos had a happy halloween. welcome to november.

i know it's not friday but our hotties of the week are the fanta girls.

pervert gets owned by school girls. i wish i could make this stuff up.
