The Urge: Receiving the Gift of Flavor

Overview

The Urge was a St. Louis-based Rock/Punk/Ska band that started making noise in 1989, but didn’t really hit their big acclaim until the mid ’90s. While their most commercially-successful single was easily “Jump Right In” (man, that video is terrible) from Master of Styles, their most complete and consistent album, at least in my opinion, is Receiving the Gift of Flavor.

This weekend my fiancÃ©e and I took a trip to Houston to meet with some friends. While there we decided to partake in a movie, and found ourselves, simply by the nature of timing, buying tickets for Death at a Funeral.

Recently, I went out to ThinkGeek.com and bought two of their Annoy-A-Tron gadgets for hiding in unsuspecting co-workers cubicles.

The Annoy-A-Tron is an extremely effective clandestine device for infuriating co-workers, friends, and family alike. Aside from the subtle, yet thoroughly obnoxious noises that this little slip of silicon produces, you also get the enjoyment of participating in a covert-op to install the gadget in the victim’s workspace.

Hi, my name is R.J. Lorimer, and I own a 2.66GHz Northwood Pentium IV.

“Hi R.J.”.

Bad AA jokes aside, I want to review one of the most disappointing computers I have ever bought, my last desktop before my new 3GHZ Core 2 Duo. My Northwood almost pushed me away from Intel for good.
