WTF? Two Days In A Row Robots Have Me Freaked Out

http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/27/actroid-f-the-angel-of-death-robot-coming-to-a-hospital-near-yo/?icid=main|aim|dl3|sec1_lnk3|180468

It's been a few years since we checked in with Actroid, a bot we first saw way back in 2005. What you're looking at above is Actroid-F, Kokoro Co. Ltd. and ATR's latest iteration of the creepy humanoid robot that can mime the operator's facial expressions and head movements with unbelievable (but not quite human) accuracy. Her current job is to act as "as an observer in hospitals to gauge patient reactions." We guess that's one way to get around euthanasia laws. See what we mean in the video after the break. 



I'm sorry but I have to serve up some I told you so. This is just not kosher. First they're making our pancakes, now they look like us. They're taking steps closer and closer to world domination. 

Devil in France?

http://www.zeenews.com/news663381.html
Paris: Eleven members of a family jumped out of a window at their home in the outskirts of Paris, when they thought they were being attacked by a "devil". One of the people - a four-month-old girl - died in the incident. 
The incident took place in La Verriere town, when a woman mistook her African-born husband, who was naked at that time, for a "devil" and began crying loudly, waking up the other people who stayed in the house. 
The man had woken up at night to feed their infant daughter.
A clash with the relatives broke out subsequently, and the man received a knife injury and was turned out of doors. His attempt to break into the house scared his family members and 11 of them jumped out of the window.
They were taken to hospital, but doctors failed to save the life of the infant girl. 


So...ummmm...what the hell France? ok...hold on....so a French Woman woke up to her African born husband feeding her baby, and decided he was the devil, tried to stab him, stabbed him, threw him out of the house and then when he tried to get back into his home they all fled the building, via the window. Typical French, crazy people.
As an American I have seen some ugly things in our past, slavery, oppression of Native Americans, Civil War, all that junk..but we're getting better, we said we were sorry. Our whole country is in the midst of crazy political upheaval, we have soooo many problems. Yet somehow, the French day in and day out remind me how blessed I am to be an American. I mean come on. 
America is making bounds and strides in coming together, we just elected our first African American person President, we are miles away from the days of slavery, a French woman just called a Black man the devil and tried to stab him. France! You Are MOVING BACKWARDS!
So Americans, Democrat, Republican, Tea Party, Black, White, of any national dissent,(yes including French because yes you are American now) we can come together and be happy we are not France.







Viva La Fooch Report

Robot Pancakes, Skynet? or Scrumptious?

  or

Ok, so this article or post has brought upon a moral dilemma I've been kicking around all day.

These guys have created robots that do basic human functions. Most recently they made a robot that can make pancakes. Now anyone who knows The Fooch knows that the one thing I cherish and love the most is Breakfast, but can we trust robots with something as important as making our pancakes. Now I know everyone reading this is saying, "but Fooch its just pancakes, this probably isn't even relatively new, machines make food all the time." and to those of you I say yes that's right, but I have also seen the Terminator series and iRobot, I know what happens when machines get too much power, and control over our pancakes is too much power. So I say now, enjoy your pancakes, but when the machines take over and are killing us and filling us full of tasty scrumptious batter, do not look to me, because all you will get is a plate full of light fluffy I  told you so. (also I will be too busy kicking robot ass, someone get me a bottle of Aunt Jemima Syrup and a machine gun.)

Salute of the Day- Black Ninja

Guess Who Just Got A New Personal Hero!!This Guy!

...also i know there was supposed to be some huge glorious comeback of the Fooch Report, and i slacked, but its slowly coming back, i just need to get used to the flow again, after Doomsday killed Superman, he didnt comeback in one day, took him like a year to regain his strength,, yeah stew on that one...

That Magical Time Of The Year

Its that magical time of year again. Leaves are changing color, theres a cool chill in the air, somewhere theres a poor kid watching football from a sideline. Yes its Fall, more importantly its October. Its that time of year where you are guaranteed two things, Yankees and Horror Movies. Now I love my Yankees, but what I love even more is my Horror movies. As a part of this Feartober( name used by Fearnet.com) My roomate and I have taken to a challenge. Once a night for the whole month of October we will watch a horror movie. So once a night, I the Fooch, will fill you in on what we watched and my own little mini review. Anyone with suggestions for horror movies for us to watch, send me an email or Facebook message.

The Return of The Fooch is Upon Us!

I would like to quote young Cool James ( Ladies Love Him) when i say "Don't Call It A Comeback, I've Been Here For Years!"

Yes, I The one and only Fooch am back to lead my people in an exodus from the slavery of boredom. yes i just compared myself to Moses, except he had much better facial hair.
I am back for two reasons,
    1. I have been bored lately, and need people to listen to my opinions (that isn't Russolini)
    2. Popular demand, (about 3 of my friends who actually take the time to read this asked me to start writing again)


    So Fear Not Followers of the Fooch, I am back to Reign Pain upon the miscellaneous topics of the world.
Get Ready! Get Amped!

Colt McCoy Throws at UT Pro Day

“I feel like I'm the best quarterback in this draft,” McCoy said. “Put me on the field with anybody.”
http://bleacherreport.com/tb/b3rv2

I've said it once, i will say it again, Colt McCoy is a Bad ASS. Not only did he come back after a very painful pinched nerve that took him out of the National Championship, but he came back and showed up the supposed Number 1 Draft pick. I for one am not surprised. I've known ever since Vince (Young) left us, that what we have is something special. This is the same man who was cheated out of two Heisman Trophies and a National Championship. He beat Sam Bradford not once, but twice. He didn't do too much at the Championship, but he is still the best. I still do not see why Bradford is number one over McCoy, and i will never understand. I watch ESPN from day to day hearing "experts" say how he is a third round pick. I do not understand why the winning-est quarterback in NCAA history is getting pushed to the side. All I have to say is, when McCoy is rocking his Super bowl ring and Bradford is playing second string still the world will know. Until then My Boy IS BACK!(and i don't mean Russolini)

Greatest American Hero- Vote Doug Shearer For Mayor

It is no secret that the Fooch's hometown of Shelton, Connecticut is in a state of crisis. Our "great" Mayor has lead our Schools into a state of collapse. Our town is currently facing the one thing we take our most pride in, no not helicopters, they are threatening to take away our sports. It is in these dark times that we must come together, we must unify. We, as a town, must come together and hold strong if we are to make it through these tough times. In our time of need, we must look towards a hero. The great British Politician Benjamin Disraeli once said "The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example." What greater hero do we Shelton residents have than our very own Douglas Shearer. He is the one to light our way in these dark grim nights. He is the torch that leads us. He is the flame in our hearts, the fire in our bellies. He brings back the heat in our cold, tundra that we call lives. Let us people come together, get this man out of office, and bring in the man our town needs. Bring us Doug Shearer. Bring us a brighter tomorrow! Doug Shearer for President Mayor!

Salute of the Day- Friends(and more importantly this video)

So, The Fooch was having a bad day, I was a little depressed because a friend from highschool was very wealthy, and well The Fooch is broke. Not his fault, just a what am I doing with my life moment. Then a friend decided to cheer me up and sent me this.

I love my friends. Thank you, and enjoy the video.

heres to you friends!! Cheers!!

Alistair Overeem Takes Shit From No One!

http://bleacherreport.com/tb/b3rg2

This is already reported on by Cagepotato, but this just goes to show, Alistair Overeem Takes Nothing From No One. You thought Chuck Norris was bad ass? No Sir!! Its all about Overeem! Bring them all, young girls, orphans, cute kittens, nuns; he'll kick them all.  RoadHouse 2: Alistair Overeem vs the World

1 Million Dollars??

http://newhavenregister.com/articles/2010/03/30/news/a5-genius.txt

So, heres a quick summary on this article. Theres this super smart guy in Russia. He is just amazing at math. He has won award after award. This man is inspiration to the world of Arithmetic. The real craziness about this is the fact that, even though he wins all these awards, he prefers to decline them. He does not take prize money, he does not accept awards. He is like the Buddha of the Math world. He lives in poverty, in his mothers home. Does this man not understand how many hot naughty math nerds he could have right now? He could be rolling in dough and he says no. He recently solved a math problem that won him 1 million dollars. He is still on the fence on whether or not to accept the prize money. Hell, if you do not want the money sir, I will take it. You do the work, I will handle the fame. You solve for X and I'll solve for $. I know damn sure, if I was in this man's position the last place I would be is in my mother's house.

Beard Growing Competition! Thank You Germany!

http://www.ctpost.com/news/slideshow/Beard-Championships-490.php

I found this link today in class. Does anyone else feel like this is the coolest thing ever? Beard Championships! Now there is a place for all those people with intimidating or fantastic facial hair. I'm Looking At You creepy School Picture Day Photographer With The Wizard of Oz Stache (pernounced stash). Finally a place for those crazy guys at the bar, the college student who refuses to shave, the old man with too much time on his hands. This is for all those crazy bikers who everyone knows he looks like Santa Clause, but everyone is too afraid to tell him. Its an outlet for the creative Amish man, or even the Rabbi with that extra chutzpah. This just feels past due. Its about time. I feel inspired! Thank You Germany!

Salute of The Day- History Channel

I felt this one needed to be noted. There is no way you can be a college student and not watch the History Channel. I often find myself day in and day out sitting on the couch, "doing Homework" and getting lost in some random show. Last night, i found myself watching three different shows based on the book of Revelations and the Mayan end of the world in 2012. Then due to lack of sleepiness, i found myself watching a show about racers in the south, i think it was called Madhouse. Pretty intense night of "The H." Now its Monday, and my other favorite show is on, Pawn Stars. It is like today's Antique Roadshow. It comes on and i cannot look away. Its as addicting as crack, or CashCab(this is saved for another day). So today, I salute The H, (the History Channel). Thanks for your amazingly entertaining programming.

Heres to you History Channel! Cheers!

THE HOFF- Coming to a GPS near you

http://www.navtones.com/garmin/david-hasselhoff.html?celeb

Have you ever been driving along listening to your GPS, and thinking, how cool would it be if The Hoff were the one giving me directions; I have. I've found myself on more than one occasion thinking, damn if The Hoff were here right now giving me directions instead of this crazy woman that is currently yelling at me than i wouldn't be lost. Granted I am usually only lost to spite the woman in my dashboard. No robo-woman is telling me what to do! Anyways, dreams have been achieved here today. Everyone, The Hoff is here!

Livin La Vida....What? Really?

After years of fighting off rumors about his sexuality, Latin singer Ricky Martin has finally just posted the following message on hisofficial Web site, telling the world he is gay.

Holy...Shit....ummmm....Why is this news? I knew this man was gay before I was old enough to know what gay was. I have a hard time believing that people are going online, seeing this article and having their whole world come crashing down. Come on, you show me a woman that actually likes to "take her clothes off and go dancing in the rain," and I'll show you a song thats actually about a man. I wasn't surprised when Lance Bass came out, and I am not surprised now.

Really?

Anti-Salute of the day: Blue Screen of Death

Blue Screens suck. Nothing is worse then waking up, flipping open your laptop, powering it up and seeing a nice blue screen of death. No, this has not happened to me, however, that would be a good excuse for my lack of posting today, I was actually sleeping. This did happen to my fellow blogger Russolini. Sad to say he will be down for awhile. The Fooch Report shall carry on! I, The Fooch, shall throw this blog upon my broad shoulders, and carry it by my heroic self until Russolini's hard-drive is restored. i will not take any protests, The Fooch has to do this. So until Russolini's hard drive rises up from the dead like an evil zombie computer, I shall be here to entertain. I promise i will be quicker with the posts tomorrow.

Super Cool New Coke Bottle Design

CCS student Andrew Kim's Coke bottle redesign is an ambitious take on the iconic bottle, going square in the name of eco-friendliness. 

Well the first thing that comes to mind when seeing this has to be, cool. Theres is no way somebody can look at this and not feel like they're drinking coke on the U.S.S Enterpise. Now I do not drink soda, but if Coke started bottling their products like this I would definitely be down to beam a few up and throw some back with Mr Spock.   

I just give my opinion with funny words attached, if you guys want the real specs on it and deeper details on it check out the link:

The Fooch Fails at Calling UFC 111

UFC 111 was quite simply amazing. Sadly though, The Fooch's journey into analyzing MMA has ended tragically. I picked only 2 out of the 5 fights correctly. So I have decided to step down, and never analyze sports or MMA events again.(Unless requested to do so.) I will be sticking to commenting on daily news and strange happenings. I will try to keep it funny and step away from the life of sport calling. I promise to only do what I came here to do. In other notes, the juggernaut of a man that is Shane Carwin did what hes been doing, winning in the first round, again. What a beast. Also while my boy Dan Hardy did get beat pretty bad, he showed the heart of a friggin Lion. He defended an armbar and kimura, both of which looked pretty deep. Do not worry, there is plenty to come from The Fooch Report.
Until then
Cheers!

UFC 111 update: Jim Miller wins by decision...The Fooch is 1/1

Salute of the Day-1 of 2- Fooch Report Fans

It is 2 a.m in the morning, and The Fooch here has been inspired for the first Salute of the Day. I was sitting on my computer, considering the idea of bed, when I saw upon my Facebook news feed a posted link to none other than The Fooch Report. This fan has asked me to keep his name anonymous, very cool of him.This post absolutely knocked me off my ass. The Fooch Report has been around for two days and already we have fans passing the word along to their friends. I am astonished and flattered.
So this first Salute of the Day goes to our fans. We may only have three followers on the blog website, but on our fan page on Facebook we have 197 fans.  That is pretty kick-ass if you ask me. So here is to the fans, I raise my glass to you, with out you we are just two college kids typing to make ourselves feel important, Cheers!

Todays Absence

Okay, so today was a hectic day. I admit that I spent a good portion of today sleeping, but i digress. In response towards our absence today I will power pack tomorrow's Fooch report. There will be a super-flow of posts, as well as two Salute of the Days. Furthermore, I apologize for my spelling errors and poor sentence formation. Due to my excitement of getting our blog up, I hastily wrote many of the posts. Many of the misspellings are due to my keyboard which is currently being fixed. Thank you for understanding America. Tomorrow will be better.
Love,
   The Fooch

Man Hacks Into Obama's Twitter Account

I'm no hacker, says man who cracked Obama's Twitter

By Celine Castella (AFP) – 6 hours ago

BEAUMONT, France — A Frenchman who broke into Barack Obama and Britney Spears' Twitter feeds insisted Thursday he is no hacker but a "kind pirate" seeking to expose security weaknesses.

ok, i know what we're all thinking..Obama has a Twitter account!?!? What is that man doing with a Twitter account. Last time i checked our country was in crisis. We're in a war in the middle east, in the midst of a financial fallout, and on the verge of a second civil war over a health care bill. Our President proved that he is the everyman just like you and me. while this is all going on, hes tweeting to all his pals, making basketball brackets, strutting at Georgetown games, and making dick and fart jokes with Biden behind a still activated mic. Now do not get me wrong, i support Obama, I just feel as a president there are better things he can be doing with his time...like bowling, orrr the movies....I'd be safe kicking back in the presidential theater, watching i don't know ( what do presidents watch to get them pumped for their job) something like Air Force One, or Head of State. Also that way when we get nuked the I (being the president) would be safe behind heavy lead doors... you cant fool me I've seen Night of The Comet.. I know how these things work.

Dumbass Spotted at Quinnipiac

Man rescued at Sleeping Giant

Injuries not serious

Updated: Friday, 19 Mar 2010, 11:02 PM EDT
Published : Friday, 19 Mar 2010, 5:54 PM EDT

Hamden, Conn. (WTNH) - A man free climbing at Sleeping Giant State Park in Hamden had to be rescued.

Crews were called to the scene around 5:15pm. 19-year old Quinnipiac University student Reid Engwall got stuck in the quarry area after slipping down a rock face. 

"He got stuck and he couldn't find any cracks to stand on," said hiker Ryan McRobbie.

A team of firefighters wasted no time getting geared up. One rescuer rappelled over the side and put a harness and a helmet on Engwall before moving him to solid ground.

Engwall suffered just a minor injury to his wrist.

Ok..wow...i need to collect myself on this one. I've climbed that mountain at least a hundred times and never once have i ever slipped. I could climb that mountain with my eyes closed. So to see that this dumb ass fell while climbing it just blows my mind. What a Jack ass! This kid is a menace, he should be kicked out of school for this, never mind the ticket he should be getting for all of the rescue bills. He had to be hyped up on some hippie psyco-hallucinogenic drug. Maybe he followed the the white rabbit down the bunny hole. how did that work out. All in all i hope he is ok, so i can kick his ass! What a moron.............Love You Reid......Glad You Are Ok....I'll be by your room later to say hi.. 

Addressing the Attack on The Fooch's Ballin Skillz

OK, it has come to my attention, that Russoilini is a little sore that my bracket is doing better then his....ok so i brought it to his attention...and rubbed it in his face... but to say i cannot play basketball...is only partially or completely true....but i ask the people..does this look like a man who cannot ball? Keep Your Eyes on Numbah 12.

Biden...You Gotta Be Kidding Me

Vice President Joe Biden, perhaps overcome with excitement during his speech congratulating President Obama on the passage of health care reform, dropped an F-bomb on live television when he turned to Obama and said, "This is a big fucking deal."

The microphone just barely catches it, but listen closely and you'll hear it. This is surely a high point in Biden's long history of verbal gaffes.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/23/a-big-fucking-deal-bidens_n_509927.html

First off... Awesome. There is nothing more I like to see more then how completely average our government officials are...This speaks to me, like every time that I feel the need to walk up to mics at public functions and yell out various body parts...the dirty kind....Thank You Biden for doing what i could not...yet..but i digress....Second off, how is it that our former president..my good friend Dubya... gets persecuted for not pronouncing the word nucler...nu...nu..nucular....nuclear....wrong...(shut up its complicated).. but when Biden drops an F bomb on national tv, its joked off. This is not the first time either. Biden says dumb shit all the time. hes like that friend everyone has that you have fun with in private, but when you bring him to a party you are embarrassed by him....i would imagine Obama right about now is thinking shut up Joe, just shut up, go back to your corner we'll joke around about the bill later i got shit to do......like make brackets. 

Roosevelt had the New Deal

Obama has the Big Fucking Deal

Brackets and inappropriate jokes, when did our country start electing college kids.......The Fooch/ Russolini 2012

A Salute To...Breakfast

While brainstorming segments to debut daily on the report, I thought of this one. I thought, hey, our days go by so fast, we never get to appreciate the little things. The things that make our days bearable. That old woman who makes our eggs, that extra ten minutes we get to sleep in the morning, the cleaning lady who cleans our disgusting dorm bathrooms. These people and things need a real pat on the back, or at least an acknowledgement from a 2 bit blog run by two college kids. So once a day I will dedicate one post a day to a different little thing or person that needs to be acknowledged, because where would our days be without them.

Today is my favorite day of the week. I have an 8 am Journalism class so most nights i do not sleep, and the nights I do, I wake up at 6 to get ready for class and give the Mrs a call before she has to leave for school. Thats just my routine. However, Tuesdays and Thursdays are a special day. Why is this day so special Fooch? Because, I get to wake up at 6 and partake in my favorite activity; breakfast. Its not like I am worshiping food or anything. But breakfast is quite simply the greatest meal of the day. Who can resist waking up and enjoying a big egg sandwich, or a short stack of pancakes. It just starts your day off right. All this genius cannot happen without first getting my egg from the nice old lady at the Quinnipiac Cafe.
So as you eat your breakfast this fine morning, slow down and enjoy it. Heres to you Breakfast! You deserve it!

Sitting Pretty - AKA Suck it Andrew

I am proud to say that although The Fooch Report is still in its infancy, being only one post deep and everything, has its first follower. Next comes more followers, then money, fancy cars, assorted M&Ms, and crazy Asian hookers that will help me choke myself in the closet.(RIP David Carradine, we love you Bill). So for the words of that haters, and yes in one hour we have accumulated enough(Andrew), you can all choke on it. So we at the Fooch Report will take this as a sign of great things to come. I can handle the fame.



...heres to good friends...PP4E
