Hello I am Microsoft Sam

Did you know? The same location used to build the set of Minas Tirith for Return of the King was the location used to build Helm's Deep Haha, you guys HAVE to read this interview with gollum. Here's an excerpt:

How else should The Lord of the Rings end, I ask, with some trepidation. "Gollum and Arwen, of course. She falls in love with us, yes, they buy farm in Gondor, raise little elf Gollums, yes, yes, she bears us many little Gollums, runs across the plains of Gondor in flowing elf dress, yes, yes, yesss.'

Great stuff. Speaking of Lord of the Rings, everyone needs to Look at this picture. Warning: it contains a HUGE SPOILER for the movie. Why should you look at it then? Because I guarantee you that unless you know what you're looking for YOU WILL NOT NOTICE IT. People who have read the book, you know :) For everyone else, bookmark or save that pic, and look at it in 3 weeks. You'll know right away :) Oh and please, no one post any spoilers in the talkbacks. A lot of people have made it 3 years without knowning the ending, keep it that way, please? So what'd I do today? Got up at 11 like I figured, and ate some food, chatted a bit, and then went off to work. Work was alright.. someone called out in my department so after 5 I was by myself and only got to take a quick lunch of Vito's, and a cashier called out so someone else was made to stay. The night was alright; I had to take down the old ad, put the new one up, and then also help customers. It was a normal hectic night for me. The fun began after we closed. I was thinking of how to make the closing announcement funny, so I thought that I could use Microsoft Sam to do it. Microsoft Sam is in a Speech program in the Control Panel on Windows XP. Basically you can type in text and have it say it; it's supposed to test out for Accessibility for impaired people. If you don't have it installed go get your Windows XP cd and check your installed accessibility stuff. Anyway, I typed in the closing announcement and made it talk. My boss heard it, and goes "oh my god. can you make it say anything?" and im like yes, so he goes and grabs the portable phone and types in something and puts it on the loudspeaker, and well.. for the next half hour these guys came up with the must vulgar, hilarious stuff and played it over the intercom for kicks, and even called someone and played one for them. oh man, great times, with people I enjoy working with :) Only 3 employees left and one manager there, it was good. Sorry, had to take a break to eat my Rama noodles. Anyway, after work I went over to AMC really quick to grab another movie ticket for Screen 13 for RotK, just incase I need it for certain reasons :) And you know it's gonna sell out and there's gonna be like 8 screens playing it at midnight. Aah, good times. We should dress up at something :) Well, that's all I have for tonight. Oh, on the list of games I have installed, chalk up Diablo 2/Lord of Destruction. I need to go play the Frozen Throne I think.. "You.. Shall Not.. Pass!!!" - Gandalf, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
