Every once in a while, we like to take a random quote from some random subject of life. This month we’ll take a look at a random sarcastic quote that we found on the old google machine. After a bit of searching, we found out that there actually is a National Sarcasm Society so we’ll assume and give them the credit for coming up with this quote. Here’s our sarcastic quote for November that we found all by ourselves (But don’t congratulate us too much, we’re not really that good).

The month of October at BoobNewb means one thing and one thing only. HALLOWEEN! We could probably find some quote from some scary movie to pass off easily to finish this month’s quote but instead we’re giving it to a deserving individual/dead thing who deserves to make a television comeback. Of course, we’re talking about the corpse, the legend…The Cryptkeeper from HBO’s Tales from the Crypt. The Cryptkeeper and the show were both based on the EC Comics collection from the 1950s. HBO would go on to make a weekly horror anthology series on television with the Cryptkeeper introducing each horror story in the openings segment and then delivering a witty joke at the end of each episode to end the show. The series finished in 1997 but let’s hope they come up with another new crypt series soon so that we may see more of the Cryptkeeper in the foreseeable future. In the meantime, we leave you with the same quote that the Cryptkeeper would use to finish off every episode.

Summer time is just about wrapping up and for many people that means swimming time is just about over. We’ve been trying to write an article about swimming pools for sometime now but we never really had a clue what we would discuss in relation to swimming pools. We don’t consider ourselves swimming pool experts and some of us can barely swim. Heck,most of the time we just lie down on a floaty and suck down some refreshments while catching some sun. We decided to look up on google any facts or data that we could find to help our readers better understand the (insert big word here) of swimming pools and here’s some of the evidence that we’ve compiled for those of you that want to buy or are thinking of buying swimming pools:

1. Swimming pools contain water

-You would have thought that this would be a no brainer but lots of the pools that we took a look at had no water in them which led us to say “what’s up with that?”

2. Swimming pools must be maintained with chlorine or salt

-Most people use chlorine to make sure their water doesn’t turn green and nasty. Apparently, you can now use salt too. We don’t know which is worse. Chlorine was used by the Nazis. Nazis=bad. Salt makes french fries taste good; but have you ever put salt into water and tasted it? Yucko.

3. Pools can include above-ground and in-ground pools

-We took a look at both types of pools and thought that in-ground pools looked way cooler than above ground pools. That was until we took a look at the price for each type of pool. There can be as much as a 10 000$ difference in price between each type of pool. Suddenly, the bathroom tub is looking sweeter by the day.

4. You can buy a product that will change the color of the water when someone pees in your pool

-If this isn’t a good reason to buy a pool then I don’t know what is. You could just invite your friends over for a pool party then once everybody’s in the pool scream “Hey! Someone just pissed in the pool!” and watch as your friends stare at each other nervously the rest of the party trying to figure out who was the one that did it. Also, if you had your own pool, you wouldn’t have to worry about some 2 year old pissing or taking a dump in your pool. We’ve all been to public pools before and trust me there isn’t a day that goes by without some little kid taking a number 2 in the shallow end.

5. Pools are good for lazy people who want exercise

-We don’t care what kind of a pool it is you own but if you throw a 500 pound man into a swimming pool and let him enjoy himself-30 minutes later he’ll think he’s an Olympic gold metal-winning triathlete. The water is great for fat people because the water helps you to move around and also takes the tension away from sore muscles or for people with arthritis. It’s for this reason that god created belly flopping contests.

Harris is a British singer, songwriter and record producer of Scotish descent. Calvin began to make music at the age of 15 but only reached minimal success when his songs “Da Bongos” and “Brighter Days” were included on a cd-ep by the Prima Facie label in 2002. Calvin started to gain more attention for his work thanks to his success on the social networking website Myspace and he would also follow up this success with recording and producing gigs for EMI and Sony BMG. In 2007, Harris released his first album entitled “I created Disco” through EMI which had hits such as “Vegas” and “Acceptable in the 80s”. His song “Acceptable in the 80s” would reach the top 10 charts and stay on them for nearly 15 weeks. Also, Calvin would embark on a tour of the U.K. that year that saw him touring with groups such as Faithless and Groove Armada. Calvin is also a strong remix musician and has remixed tracks for groups such as CSS and The Mitchell Brothers.

Justice are a Grammy award nominated band from France. Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay got their start by winning a remix competition at a Paris college’s local radio station. The remix of Simian’s “Never Be Alone” earned them a deal with Ed Banger Records who released the song for them to various clubs and the internet. It would later be released commercially in the U.K. with the help of Ten Records (a sub-label of Virgin Records).Justice would later help in the remixing of songs for groups such as N.E.R.D & Daft Punk and for artists such as Fatboy Slim and Britney Spears. Justice won the award for Best Video at the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2006 but couldn’t accept their award due to prior commitments. Their video director accepted the award on their behalf but was famously interrupted by R & B/rapper Kanye West who thought he should have won the award instead of them. Kanye would later phone the group to apologize for his actions. In 2007, the group would tour across the globe with stops at such concerts as the Coachella Music Festival, Fuji’s Rock Festival and the Oxegen festival in Kildare, Ireland just to name a few.Their Coachella performance was actually their first performance in front of a live audience as before that they would simply be in the studio or doing videos with their turntables. Their act has attracted attention for their large lighted-up crucifix that joins them on stage in the background. Justice was nominated for Best Dance Recording (for D.A.N.C.E.) and Best Electronic/Dance Album (for †) at the 50th Grammy Awards. You can check out more of Justice over at our jukebox.
