Round Blog Under New Licensing Terms. Yay!!!

Nov 12th

Screw this stu­pid copy­right crap. No need to be bound all those dumb legal­i­ties. So, as of Novem­ber 12, 2009 at 3:23 PM CST, all con­tent on the Round Blog web­site is now licensed under the United States Attribution-​​Share Alike Cre­ative Com­mons License. Woot!!! You know what this means?; that I rock!!! Alright, so please let me explain what this change means. Now instead of the con­tent of this web­site being pro­pri­etary, you are free to copy the con­tent from it willy-​​nilly but you have to attribute either me (Owen Kue­merle) or the Round Blog web­site with what you took off of this site. You also (I know, there’s more) must license you work under the same or sim­i­lar license as the Attribution-​​Share Alike 3.0 United States License. You may think it sucks ass, but it’s def­i­nitely bet­ter than a copyright.

You might ask: “Why not make your web­site con­tent pub­lic domain?” WTF?!? Are you stu­pid? Why the hell would I do that? Well for one or more of the fol­low­ing reasons:

  1. You suck and can­not be trusted
  2. Open source is basi­cally awe­some even for blogs
  3. My work is so good that I want you to credit me
  4. I have little/​no sense of self-​​worth
  5. I need a con­fi­dence booster
  6. It makes me feel like More >

Lots of LOLs on Amazon Reviews

Oct 27th

OK, so since I have way too much time on my hands, I have started look­ing at Ama​zon​.com a lot lately. They sim­ply have the most ran­dom crap ever (pretty much any­thing you could think of, they have it). I also enjoy read­ing the reviews as they some­times turn out to be very funny; almost LOL funny! I’ve col­lected a few of these funny reviews and would like to share them with you as they are very funny. Dis­claimer: I’m not totally pos­i­tive all of these reviews are for realsies.

  1. First Check 12 Drug Test, Home: “I’ve used this test sev­eral times over the past year and have found it to be accu­rate. On a cou­ple of occa­sions my son denied using the drug that showed pos­i­tive. How­ever, in every case, he even­tu­ally vol­un­tar­ily con­fessed. If he hadn’t, I might have thought the test was faulty.“

    Wow. Thank you sir/ma’am for telling the whole world that your son is a drug­gie. WTF?!?! Why would you even post this. I guess the self-​​conscious fil­ter for their brain has been com­pletely dimin­ished. My advice for you sir/ma’am: your son sucks and will prob­a­bly end up at some dead beat job that teenagers usu­ally work at, I.E: a diner or McDonald’s. Good advice, I know.

Well, today my bread expired so I went crazy and made a six-​​slice peanut but­ter and jelly sand­wich. Observe:

6 Slice PB & J

This is def­i­nitely one of my finer feats in life; prob­a­bly up there in the final four. You might ask me why I just hap­pen to have six slices of bread on my per­son. Let me explain. So, last week was midterm break or more P.C.: “Octo­ber Recess.” As my luck would have it, all facil­i­ties serv­ing food on cam­pus were closed — for­ever or at least until the resump­tion of school. So, I asked my friend with a car to drive me to the local Hy-​​Vee. For those of you kid­dies not around/​in the Mid­west area of the United States, Hy-​​Vee is a gro­cery store just like Ralph’s, Stater Broth­ers, Albert­sons, etc. At the Hy-​​Vee, I stocked up on food for over the break. I got sev­eral cans of Hy-​​Vee brand veg­etable beef and chicken noo­dle soup, Hy-​​Vee brand Easy-​​Mac style mac­a­roni, Sponge­Bob fruit snacks, Hy-​​Vee brand all in one peanut but­ter and jelly (as seen in the pic­ture), three pack­ages of beef fla­vor Top Ramen, three pack­ages of ori­en­tal fla­vor Top Ramen, frosted oat­meal cook­ies, a loaf of enriched white bread, and a four pack of this morning’s More >

Quick MLIA Update

Oct 17th

Posted by Owen Kuemerle in Uncategorized

As described/​promised in my later post, I said I would update you kid­dies on my com­pletely unof­fi­ciall, non-​​scientific MLIA study:

My next study will be to copy an old MLIA and re-​​post it. I will make a hypoth­e­sis now that it will not get voted through. I would assume that no one will have remem­bered the post and there­fore not care if it’s been posted again. The con­clu­sion will be that the gen­eral MLIA atti­tude has changed.

The post:

Today I installed a pro­gram and it asked if I had read and agreed to the terms and con­di­tions. I hadn’t, but I clicked “yes” any­way. The pro­gram didn’t know I lied, and began to install. MLIA

The results are in.

Aver­age: 12 Meh: 10

That is sim­ply pathetic. I have other real posts that didn’t make it on MLIA but still had way higher counts than this one. Take for exam­ple this one:

Today, I found out that my name is the same as a mem­ber of the Knights of the Round Table. I now secretly con­sider myself cooler than other peo­ple. Thank you mom & dad. MLIA.

As you read this, I will have already quit read­ing MLIA. I now stick to sites like Fail­Blog, Lol­cats, and My Drunk Pics for my daily enter­tain­ment. Thanks for read­ing this not-​​so-​​long post. And then I found five dollars.

MLIA — Not so Average Anymore

Oct 11th

Posted by Owen Kuemerle in Irks Me

Today, while I was brows­ing through MyLifeIsAv​er​age​.com, I have slowly come to a per­sonal con­sen­sus that MLIA has trans­formed into a web­site about not so aver­age sto­ries. Back in the day, MLIAs used to be clever, funny, and most impor­tantly; short. Exam­ples of good orig­i­nal MLIAs:

  • Today, I real­ized the word bed actu­ally looks like a bed. MLIA
  • Today, my teacher saw me tex­ting under the desk and grabbed my phone. She didnt grab my penis. MLIA.
  • Today I installed a pro­gram and it asked if I had read and agreed to the terms and con­di­tions. I hadn’t, but I clicked ‘yes’ any­way. The pro­gram didn’t know I lied, and began to install. MLIA.
  • Today, I went to the store and bought some Land o Lakes cheese. On the label, it said ‘LOL Cheese’. I laughed. MLIA
  • Today, I wore Axe body spray. I wasn’t tack­led by any women. MLIA.

Truly funny, short, and believ­able. There are sev­eral aspects that an MLIA must con­tain in order to qual­ify itself. The first and most impor­tant is the obvi­ous one; the story must be true, not made up. This aspect is essen­tial to the fun­ni­ness fac­tor of an MLIA. I think I have come to the con­clu­sion that there is a part in our brain that sorts out fake stuff from real stuff. This func­tion is always active. When you read an More >

Some Things I’ve Noticed In College…

OK, so I’ve been here for, like, a month I guess and I would like to point out some things that are dif­fer­ent in col­lege than in reg­u­lar high school or grade school life. I’ll list them with num­bers so you kid­dies can keep track of how many things I’ve listed. Alright, here it goes (and keep your grubby hands off of this):

  1. On week nights, I usu­ally stay up until 12–1 AM whereas in high school I would go to bed at around 10–10:30. I guess it’s partly becuase my mom isn’t yelling at me to go to bed. The other part is that none of my classes start at 7:15 in the morn­ing. I can afford to stay up later becuase most of my classes start at, like, 8:45 and 10:45 so I can use those delayed class times to sleep in an extra hour or two, or three. The week­ends usu­ally include sleep time at 2–3 AM. On the com­puter more.
  2. I get to eat a real break­fast. Back in high school, I got up so early to get ready and drive to school that I really didn’t have time to eat a good break­fast. Not so here in col­lege. I can get break­fast from, I think it’s 7–10:30 so I usu­ally go half an hour before my More >
