BYN wire news
The BYN Tech wire has been buzzing lately with news about the dismal future of high-definition video disc formats, terabyte DVR/DVD recorders in Japan, major delays for the new Zelda game (thus resting all the hopes for a good Christmas games on Prince of Persia and XBOX 360), Apple's plans to release an antibacterial iPod in Q2 2006, and Johnny Depp looking all surly on the cover of the 21 Jump Street season 4 DVD set.
Meanwhile, the fluff wires have been buzzing with random musings, which this site is reluctant to publish, concerning such issues as my brother, who was born in 1987, is now in college, and my sister, born in 1990, is starting high school. Prince of Persia may stand to usurp Zelda as king of adventure game franchises. Weekends are too short. I still don't know who the Half-Blood Prince is.
And that last paragraph should stand as a good indication why this dedicated hard-news blog rarely publishes its random musings, except on those rare Thursdays when the Internet fails to deliver any blogworthy content. See how that tech news paragraph gives you way more stuff to do?
On a side note, you people had better be laughing at my wire syndication and magazine repurposing jokes.
That being said, this just came in on the Extremely Urgent Breaking News wire:
Nasty to be rebuilt for camping trip
Tempe (BYN) - The cooler that inspired the cult hit Weblog will undergo a much-needed repair Thursday night in preparation for a camping trip, sources say.
Vintage Coleman cooler the Big Yellow Nasty will receive a new set of hinges and a strap, thanks to a charitable donation from the Turbizzi Foundation for Total Sweetness.
"We had to order the hinges and strap directly from Coleman," a Turbizzi Foundation press release said. "Although the cost was nearly half that of a brand new cooler, we feel that restoration of the Nasty is essential for the preservation of total sweetness."
The strap, which the press release said has been broken forever and a day, should lessen the strain on the new hinges, ensuring longer life for the cooler's lid-opening mechanism.
A pre-repair cleaning has already been performed by the foundation's executive special lady.
"We'll probably put some Natty Light in there," said an anonymous camper. "The Nasty needs to get serious about boozin'."
