Bikini Bubble Bounce time waster


This is so sweet. A babe in a bikini falling through a sea of bubbles. A babe that you can just throw around.

She falls. She gets stuck. You grab 'er again and give 'er a toss.

All nice innocent fun with the mouse.

She flies with the greatest of ease through infinity.

A complete waste of time. (Bookmark it.) She's right here.

Curiously Flabbergasted

"Flabbergasted". What a word. We still use it today to describe being astonished or unbelieving. According to Dictionary.com, its origins are unknown. But chances are, it's from the 19th or 18th century. Yeah, that narrows it down, don't it?

Why do we use this word, "flabbergasted"? Most probably because it's a little more powerful or, perhaps a little less powerful than the word "astonished", depending on the situation. Let's dissect the word, shall we?

Is it possible to be "flabbered" but not "gasted"?
"Damn! I ate too much turkey and I'm flabbered."

How about being "gasted" and not "flabbered"?
"I had three bean burritos and now I'm just gasted."
(With accompaniment.)

So, with this logic, the similaries would conclude that being flabbergasted means you ate too much. And you will fart a lot. People, beware, if this is in fact true.

But if being flabbergasted really means being astonished, then if someone ate a lot, and had the farts, YOU would be flabbergasted by the current way the word is used. So you're both the same.

So what should we do about people who use the word flabbergasted? Banning the word outright is a no-win situation. People will still be flabbergasted for years to come. No investment of laws and law enforcement will stop this. Hell, I just let one go and I'm flabbergasted that it happened.

What I suggest is this: Flabber=blubber and gast=gassed. The remaining "ed" we just blame on the previous centuries and coloquialism.

And if someone tells you they're flabbergasted, from now on, they've had too much to eat and are about to erupt nuclear-rectally with fallout.

So just back away.

OMG! The babes are back!

Well, not that many, but the babes are back.

After being outed by Photobucket and then having an album deleted from Picasa, I'm trying a new image host, ImageVenue. No questions asked, just tag your photo SWF or NSFW and be on your way.

So SixPackTech is back in the babe business with a new Butt of the Week, and a new Nat or Not challenge.

So we try again. My apologies to Google and that other place.

Check out the BOTW in the sidebar, then view and vote on the Nat or Not babe if you so desire. If you don't like what you see, don't look next time.
