Go kart repairs.

Looking around in our old pictures, I found this beauty. 

Yep, thats me on the right. 

You may be wanting an explination? Well, here it is!

A long time ago, we bought a go cart from a hill billy down the road.

We fixed it up and it ran great! Until one day, someone ran it into a tree. The tire was almost ripped off and we needed to do some repairs. We took the go kart to a friend of ours for repairs. We welded it up and had it running in a few days. 

And no, I dont have a pair of glasses like that. They where actually a pair of safety glasses that we found. don't I make a good hipster?

My Tab Problem.

OK, so my chrome browser always take a while to start up and takes up a lot of RAM. Sometimes I wonder: Why? Then I remember, oh yeah. you have 50+ tabs open.

Luckily, my monitor is a 26 inch. But still, this is bad.

Luckily, I ran into something called "Pocket" Its a fancy bookmark basically. So now that I have pocket, I can bookmark everything and close it! Well, I did. A few days later, I have 40+ NEW tabs open again and am too lazy to bookmark them all.

Meh.

Opposite day.

According to Wikipedia, "Opposite day is a word game where speech is modified so that meaning is inverted. Once Opposite Day is declared, statements mean the opposite of what they usually mean. Usually, a person would say, "After this phrase is over, it will be officially opposite day," and then Opposite Day will be officially started."


But it has been proven that opposite day can be also used for actions.
Example: Instead of slapping someone else, you slap yourself!

There are some problems with opposite day. You could just slap yourself, or you could totally over think it and go, hmm... Lets see, what is the opposite of: Slap. Hhh..   hug...   Em..   Embrace! So I must have to embrace myself.. but... its opposite day.. so I should... slap my friends hug? Wait.. No.. his.. brothers aunt!

We all are, Timmy.


To avoid confusion while playing the opposite game, it is advised that you don't think about it too much. You should it simple and go with your gut reaction. 



It can also sometimes be fun to imagine opposites. Example:


instead of pulling the pin,

  

And throwing the grenade...

You could pull the grenade,

And throw the pin!

You could imagine the rest.




Try out opposite day yourself! (don't do anything dangerous.. obviously.)


But wait! Before you go:

The sentence "Today is opposite day" is in fact a paradox. Don't think about it too much or it may create a black whole in your mind. Destroying it.

Jumping over stuff.

Post #50. Yay!


My friends and I like to dabble in the art of jumping over large objects.
This includes tables, chairs, boxes, trash cans, sticks, little people, etc. We take it all as a kind of manly challenge. Are you man enough to jump over that chair? We ask each other.

Whenever I fail to jump over an object, I always seem to fail before I even reach it. Aka, I trip and smash into it. The other day this happened. We where trying to jump over a bench length wise. I ran as hard and as fast as I could, RUN RUN RUN TRIP FLY THROUGH THE AIR LAND ON BENCH ROLL ROLL ROLL BACK FLIP LAND ON BACK. "I'm OK!" And I really was.. considering how catastrophic the failure was.


Later that day we decided to push ourselves to the MAX. We went into the gym at my church, grabbed a trash can and some safety mats. We put the trash can upside down and the mats behind it. Then, we put a basketball on top of the trash can for extra challenge. The total height was a little under 4 feet. Challenge accepted.

Surprisingly, we made it! Later we decided to add even MORE challenge by adding a small table after the trash can.. And we also made it!



Yeap, we're jumping masters.

The Eye Doctor.

Yesterday, most of our family went to the eye doctor for the annual check up.

We have been going to the same eye doctors office for YEARS. So, when we walk in its always HEEYY! How are you doing? Wow! You kids are really growing up fast!

I remember my first time going to the Eye Doctor.
I was probably around 10 or 12.
We sat around in the waiting room as they called one person at a time into a room. What was in the room? I wasn't sure.

They went in, 5 minuets later, came out with tears rolling down their faces. They weren't crying, but they where stunned. One by one they all went in and came back out. Eventually it was my turn. I walked into the room that had 2 chairs and a desk with fancy equipment on it.

I did as the lady asked and put my face up against one of the 2 machines and stared at a light. "Can you see the red light?" She asked. "Yep!" I quickly replied. After she scribbled something down on paper, she moved  me over to the next machine where I looked at this entrancing little green light with one eye. I stared at it and stared at it as a little arm came out of the machine, right next to my eye. Suddenly.. POOOF! A blast of air from the little arm smashes into my eye ball. I quickly react and jerk my head backwards. "AHH!... GOSH!"

The lady's just sitting over there chuckling
"NOW THE OTHER EYE"

"Uhhooookay."




I put my face up to the machine again. This time expecting the inevitable. "OPEN WIDE" she says.

Mentally screaming, I pry my eyes open and prepare myself... HERE IT COMES!... After what felt like forevePOOF "GAHH!"  My head jerks back again and my eyes start to water.

"You can go back to the waiting room now." She says.

So this is why everybody's' eyes where watering... I thought.

I sat down for a little bit and after a few of my siblings where already called for by the doctor and came back, it was my turn. I walked into his dimly lit room and sat down in a big, comfy chair that had a bunch of fancy machines connected to it.

"So, how are you doing, Ben?"

"Good.. good..... How... How are you?"

"Alright! So, Ben, have you had any eye injury lately?"

"Nope... not really."

"Good! Ok, we are going to run a quick test. What do you see?" He opened up a book with a bunch of colored dots that made out a picture of a Moose.

"Uhhmm.. A Moose?"

"Good! That was just to see if you are color blind or not, which, you aren't. Aaaalright, now let me get this set up..."

he took the Phoropter and put it in front of my eyes.

"What leters can you read?" He said.


THIS IS THE TEST! I thought. I didn't think you could, but there was always the fear of failing the eye exam.

Looking at a screen with a bunch of letters getting smaller and smaller, I looked at the smallest letters and had to guess with 50% of them because I couldn't see them that well.

A Z W F R B D.....

"Good." He says.


After a few more tests he tells me:

"Alright Ben, I think you're going to need reading glasses!"

YESSS I thought. I kind of wanted glasses, but I didn't want to have to wear them all the time. So, to me, this seemed like the best of both worlds. (And no, I didn't cheat on my eye exam in any way so I would get reading glasses)

"Now, in a little bit I'm going to look at the inside of your eye. But to do that, your irises need to be really big. So, I'm going to give you these eye drops that will dilate them."

"OK!"

He took the drops and put it in one eye. I was blinking a lot because eye drops are always cold and you know, your eyes don't really like chemicals getting poured into them but it didn't really hurt and I wasn't really expecting it to.
"Hurry, let me get it in the other eye before the pain hits..."

PAIN?... HITS?.... You never said anything about paiGAH! Ow ow ow ow...

"Ok, all done... here's a tissue..."

Tears where once again, rolling down my face.

"Alright, I will see you in a little bit after your eyes dilate."

"Ok, thanks doctor."

I walked back to the waiting room with the rest of my family. After a while, things seemed really bright and blurry... and it kept getting brighter, and blurrier. After a while, the windows in the waiting room where too bright. I had to hide my eyes from the light like some sort of dungeon dwelling creature.

Eventually he called me back into his dimly lit room which wasn't so dark anymore with my irises so open. (I felt kinda like a super hero)

Then he had me put my chin on this machine and he had this super bright light that he shined directly into my eye ball. The tears, once again flowed down my face.

"Look down.." He said. I looked down and he had to pry my eyelid up with his finger.

Look down, look up, look left, look right.. Ok now other eye... yadda yadda.
By the end of all this tears where dripping off of my face and it felt like the light was literally burning.

"Ok! All good. Thanks!" he said.

I wiped the tears off my face, shook hands, and walked out.

The Pickle King.

Behold, the Pickle King.

Made by Nate, age 5. He is the king of all the pickles.

Yes, his teeth are yellow. I don't know why. Maybe you could imagine him having some sort of weird beak.

Stay tuned, because I have a great post coming up and a new website feature!

Vitamin commercials.

You're sitting there, watching TV when your every day, average vitamin commercial comes on.
There is a guy walking around on the street not looking very happy and he is holding some chocolates, and a stress ball that he's squeezing tightly.
"DO YOU CONSTANTLY HAVE GAS? THEN TRY TOOTASIL. THE #1 DOCTOR RECOMMENDED TOOT RELIEVING BRAND."
You see the guy take the pill, walk down the street a little, and he gets to release that annoying stress ball hes been holding on too so tightly. Good thing too, because he just arrived at the coffee shop to meet his date.
He gives her the chocolates, and they start smiling like there's no tomorrow. They talk a little bit even though you cant hear it as the announcer says:

WARNING: Ask your doctor if Tootasil is right for you. Don't take with other toot relieving medications.


Side effects may include:

• Face spasms,
• Random growths on your face,
• A third arm,
• The voice of a little girl,
• Uncontrollable toot breath,
• Insanity,

And other, not so serious side effects. Including, but not limited to:

• Heart attacks,
• Heart failure,
• Death,
• Stroke,
• The mental state of a turkey.

As you're watching this you're thinking... What the heck?... Why would I ever get this?


In my opinion, most vitamin commercials are roughly like this.

My Great Aunts.

My Grandmas older sisters, Mary, Janet, and Grace are all crazy.


The oldest is Great Aunt Grace.
She is the oldest and the only "Normal" one. She's really short and not so crazy.
Since she's so normal, she doesn't really have anything awesome to quote. The real quotes are between the 2 younger ones.

Next is Great Aunt Janet. 
She, is the Boss.

Aunt Janet says:

• You can eat anything animals can eat! Think about it, even snakes! Its a delicacy! Just stick a fork right behind its ears!

• (She was talking about some kind of conspiracy) Aunt Mary says: you don't know that for sure. You just suspect... Aunt Janet says: Yeah, but i can pass it off as a suggestion.. Aunt Mary says: Slander...

• Get your degrees kids!

• Drink your whole milk. Its a good source of calcium. Not that 2% stuff. Its basically just skim. They skim all the calcium out of it!

• When Vince (Her grandson) Makes his first million, he better remember his grandma. I don't care about his parents - granny's first! I'll probably be dead by then, anyway, so oh well.

Then is Great Aunt Mary.
She's the one with the Jokes. But whenever she tries to tell a joke, Aunt Janet just tells her to shut up.

Aunt Mary says:

• I love kissing cute boys. Aunt grace says: aww listen to her. Aunt Mary: SO WHAT? I'm single!

• To aunt Janet: Your getting dull to live with.

Great Aunt Marys words of wisdom.

We asked her for some words of wisdom for life in general. She closed her eyes, folded her hands in front of her face and said:

• Pray often, and listen to your parents.
• Also, wear a smile on your face, and have fun.
• Stay outta politics, stay outta Hollywood, and study hard. (And aunt Janet says: shadap!)

Here is a nice picture of Aunt Janet and Aunt Mary:

Left, Aunt Janet, Right, Aunt Mary.

They have both stated that they don't want their identity's revealed all over cyberspace. Hence the black bars protecting their identity's.


Every time you see them, they love to give you nice big kisses. And they always make comments like, YOU TRYING TO AVOID US? I DIDN'T GET MY KISS YET.

And every once in a while, they go to a casino to do a bit of gambling.
They all have a system for gambling. The first 20$ they bets with, all the profit goes to the Church. After that they get everything they win. Aunt Janet is the lucky one. She walks in, and "Feels" which machine to spend her money on. After she decides which is the right one, she spends all her money on it and she always get a bit of a profit.


They love to gamble, love kisses, and they love to make people happy!
Which they do a good job at.

First day of snow.

You wake up, and notice that its extra bright outside.
You look out the window and notice: IT SNOWED LAST NIGHT!
Weather your happy, or sad about it, most people do some crazy things.

Usually on the first day of snow, there isn't much snow on the ground.
You can still see the grass poking out of the snow.

Yet, you are so exited about it, you put on your old snow clothes that are too tight, and go out into the magical winter wonderland.

Then you go, now what? There is hardly any snow. Then you think, ah yes, a snow man! Of course.

So you go around with a sled gathering all the snow you can get. You bring it back to where you want to make your snowman and begin.

In the end, you are awarded with a plumpy snow man that's 2 feet tall, and has clumps of grass sticking out of its face.

And there is no more snow on the ground.

Aaand now the Abominable snowman is mad at your for wasting all of his snow.

Way to go.

Thanks Whitney for the post idea!

The random post.

First of all, my wireless keyboard is almost out of battery.

Second of all,

Ya wanna know something? Today I started working for chacha.

by working for 3 hours... I got 3$

Its not working out so well.

Why is this post so random you may be wondering? Well, I am super tired right now, and am making this last minuet. SO, I cant think so I decided instead of trying to sound smart/funny, I would just let my craziness entertain you.

This is a barbie toy piano that i ripped apart. Nobody liked it anymore, so I took it. HEHEH.

Sorry its sideways. Like I said before, I'm tired, so I don't really care. :D

That right now, is actually pretty funny.

No, you dont need to watch the whole thing.

Eh, good enough for me. I'm going to sleep. PEACE OUT WORLD.

Oh yeah, and subscribe. DO IT.

Goldfish Crackers

Have you ever wondered how the Goldfish crackers are made? We did too.

So, we did a little research and it turns out that it’s a long process filled with with catching, punching, and robots.

The process starts, with robots fishing in the secret lake where the goldfish live.

After they catch some, they are too soggy to eat, so they lie them out in the sun to dry. THIS IS WHEN THEY DIE.

After they are all dry, and crispy, they take them to the factory, where they are crushed up. After that they inject some ingredients, like smiles, and sugar.

After that they stuff them into a fish shaped mold.

When they are done drying, they pop them out and scratch smiles onto their little faces.

They are them put in packages, and shipped to children everywhere.

Now you know.

Explaining the Googleplex.

I am going to try and explain a googleplex.

If you aren't familiar with the googleplex, its a very very hugenormus number.

Million, billion, trillion.. something.. something..... something.. Uh... After a long time, a very very long time of doing this if you know your numbers, you will reach a GOOGOL.

A googol is 1, followed by a hundred zeros.

It would literally look like this:

10,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000

That my friends, is a Googol. This, is a HUGE number. Imagine that many tacos. That's more tacos, then there are hydrogen molecules in the known universe. That's intense.

And that's just a googol!

A Googleplex, is 1, followed by a GOOGOL zeros. Not a hundred zeros, A GOOGOL ZEROS.

Imagine every taco, turns into a zero and lines up. That's a lot of zeros.

It is physically impossible for you to write this out. If you where writing it on a piece of paper, you would need more space, then there is in the known universe.

Then why the heck would you make a number that big? Your probably asking yourself.

In the words of some guy on Yahoo answers:

it enables us to do math with very large NON_INFINITE numbers.

Which makes sense.

WHO invented it is an interesting story.

In 1938, Edward Kasner's nine-year-old nephew, Milton Sirotta, coined the term googol, then proposed the further term googolplex to be "one, followed by writing zeroes until you get tired". Kasner decided to adopt a more formal definition "because different people get tired at different times and it would never do to have Carnera be a better mathematician than Dr. Einstein, simply because he had more endurance and could write for longer". It thus became standardized to .

Pickle Products.

A couple posts ago we had a random pickle. While on Amazon, I felt the urge to search, for an electric yodeling pickle. To my surprise you can actually get one!

YODELING PICKLE!

I kind of seriously want to buy this thing. Especially after these reviews. (He gave it 4 stars):

I loaned my iPod to my kid and he broke it. This understandably bummed me out, since I really enjoy taking long walks on the beach while listening to some tune-age. I'm kinda low on funds, so buying a replacement iPod wasn't an option for me. I was very fortunate to discover the Yodeling Pickle. I have been super pleased with the results. First of all, as luck would have it, the Yodeling Pickle just happens to yodel all of my favorite tunes that were stored on my iPod. Hits like "Bobbejaan Schoepen yodels the collected works of Black Sabbath" and of course Slim Whitman's edgy yodeling rendition of "Baby Got Back."

I have withheld one star from my review however, giving the Yodeling Pickle just four of five possible stars. There isn't a headphone jack, which is only a problem if the folks around me don't appreciate yodeling, (which almost NEVER happens). Also, I was accustomed to carrying the iPod strapped to my arm with the elastic armband accessory. Nothing like this is available for the pickle. On my beach walks, I've found that the pickle can be carried around by conveniently in my belt. I've met tons of nice ladies on the beach since scoring the pickle. I can only assume they dig yodeling as much as I do.

It's a great portable music solution for yodeling fans. Cheaper than an iPod and the chicks seem to dig it.

Or how about this one?:

I've been searching high and low for a quality Electronic Yodelling Pickle for over 20 years now, and this one is by far the greatest one of them all. You won't find a better Electronic Yodelling Pickle on the market! I'm Roger Barr and I approved of this message

That, is good to know.

A snippet from another review:

It yodels. That's basically it. But if you listen closely, it yodels thoughts to you. I'm now turning my life around thanks to the advice it gives. I'm a little worried about some of the things it tells me to do, but what the Yodelling Pickle Toy tells me to do, I have to do. I don't make the rules. It does.

Those are seriusly real reviews.Dont believe me? Look it up yourself!

Pickle-Pult anyone?

Wait... What?:
Now, you might laugh at this Pickle-pult and think it silly. However, I challenge you to look more deeply into the possibilities of any product, just as I did after putting some clever thought into the situation.

I needed a serious solution to my problem of no home defense capabilities. I have not been allowed to own or operate a gun since "the incident", so I needed some creativity to come up with an answer. I had tried a catapult, but after only a few shots, the cats tend to run away and never come back the next time you let them outside.

So what I do, is I buy the official "terrified pickles" accessory pack, and then I whittle one end of them down to a sharp point. This is tricky for me to do, since I am not allowed to own or handle knives since "the incident". Then when an unwelcome intruder enters my home or yard, I fire a terrified pickle, point first, in their direction. They tend to run off with the pickle still embedded, so I keep an abundant supply of replacement terrified pickles on hand.

Best of all, no one ever believes that they were injured by a whittled down plastic terrified pickle launched by a pickle-pult. In fact, one intruder spent four days in the psych-ward after trying to put that story across. So none of my humorless, paranoid family, friends, or neighbors has yet been able to obtain a court order denying me THIS method of self defense.

I will never look at a pickle the same way.

#3-1 Alpha 2

Thanks everybody who sent in all of their questions!

First question!

Dear BulfenRoben,

How do you find the motivation to get out of bed every day?

How can you look yourself in the mirror?

How can you LIVE with yourself?

~Boof

Uhh,

Next question!

Q. How long does it take to come up with these humorous and more or less witty posts about whatever.

~Victor

A. Well, The ideas usually just come to me when I'm messing around. But to iron them down to a post, about 2 hours. Not including pictures.

Next!

Q. How long does it take you to make the pictures on your blog?

~Koosh

A. It takes about a half of an hour each picture.

And then we have this lovely one.

Dear Rob and Ben,

I have read every blog post you have, and watched all of "Toobatee"'s YouTube videos. Does it startle you/scare you that you have no idea who I am...? Do you think I'm a creeper?

~Wendel

No, It doesn't scare me that there is somebody that I haven't met, reading my blog. That's what its for, ALL OF THE INTERNET!

And, no, I don't think your a creeper. Just a fan.

And then, we have all of these, from one person. (Thank you Lizzie!)

What is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you?

That's hard. I haven't really had any that bad...

Well, I would have to say, when I was really little, (Like 6) all of our family was having a big birthday party. It was for like, 5 kids.

When it was time to open up gifts, every kid took a corner, and stashed all of their presents there. I was getting sick of waiting for somebody to give me a gift, so I decided to go and find my own gifts!

I marched away, found a gift, opened it up, and my mom told me that the person wanted to give it to me. I felt horrible.

It still haunts me to this day.

What is your dream job?

I think THIS. This right here. I think I would like to make a living off of my blog, YouTube video's and photography.

Or, something medical.

How did you come up with the name Toobatee?

I didn't actually. It was my little sister Rachel. When she was very small. She decided that she wanted to name all of her dolls, Toobatee!

How I decided to use it as a username, was when I used to play Runescape, and I forgot my password for my account. (This was about 6 years ago) I decided to make a new account, and gave it the name: TOOBATEE!

What books are your reading/what books do you recommend and why?

I am reading Rangers Apprentice. And, I suggest the Eragon series. Because its awesome.

Is your house haunted?

Sometimes, I hear crying babies coming FROM THE WALLS!

Just kidding. Its not.

What's your favorite Pixar film and why?

I love ALL of them. Cant pick a favorite. Its like picking a favorite food. IMPOSSIBLE.

Do you prefer pens or pencils? Chocolate or vanilla? Elevators or escalators? Fruits or vegetables?

Pencils. You can erase them.

Depends on what it is. If its ice cream, vanilla.

Escalators. You get to feel the breeze.

Fruit. Its sweet.

What's the most ridiculous/crazy/funny thing you've ever done?

(If enough people probably email me, I will think up an answer. I have done a lot of crazy things.)

If you were stranded on a desert island (with 1 food of your choice and water), what three other things would you choose to have and why?

Who is your favorite Axe Cop character and why?

Axe Cop. Because he's Axe Cop.

What's your favorite school subject?

Science.

Who/what do people say you look like?

A lot of people who know me say that I look like a doctor that we know.

What is the best thing you've ever ate?

Super fancy chicken. At my confirmation dinner.

And lastly, but probably most importantly...

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could CHUCK NORRIS?

If it chucked Chuck Norris, it would get round house kicked in the face.

How much wood could it chuck? I would guess zero. It cant chuck wood.

Phiew!

Next we have this one

Q. How long did it take to write your first blog post?

~Kristofer411

A. Hmm, probably 2 hours. We did it at around 1 am. Rob and I.

We had no idea what we where doing.

THE PICTURE I PROMISED!

Thank you guys for submitting your questions!

If you have any more questions, feel free to send me an email. It most likely wont be in another post, but I will still be happy to answer any question you have!

Thanks, guys!

#3-1 Alpha

Hey! I just got back from vacation yesterday night And wrote this blog post right afterwards. So, I'm tired, sleepy, I have to get up early in the morning, so I can't make a long awesome blog post full-o-pictures and all that stuff.

So, I'm initiating emergency blog post protocol #3-1 Alpha.

Basically, YOU guys will write it. Or, it-ish.

What will happen is you guys, will think of and email any question about BulfenRoben, and email it to bulfenroben@gmail.com and I will answer them in my next blog post, to the best of my abilities, possibly in a funny manor, depending on the question.

You can ask all the questions you want. Questions like,
What made you want to start a blog?
How you think of your blog posts, Anything!


Don't worry about emailing me. I will not distribute, spam, or even reply (unless I think it's necessary.) to your email, but that doesn't mean I won't read them.

I will most likely read them all.


Still need a reason to ask a question?
In the email, after the questions, you can give me a name for me to use in a picture I will make for you guys. A gift for being awesome.

Please note that you don't need to use your real name. Just make something up. And also note that you don't need to give me a nickname at all. Only do this if you want it to be used in my fancy picture.

“Watchers”

I recently have become quite active on Ebay selling all kinds of things. From Phones, to pots.

When someone puts something up for auction, it usually takes a few days, so there is this button you can press to keep an eye on it. You can “Watch” The item.

To the seller, the people who press this button are called “Watchers.” Whenever I hear this I always imagine something like this:

Watching… Waiting…

Telescope Time.

For Christmas this year, I got a telescope. (I, Ben) I have been able to run out side at times, and look at some starts for a bit, until I couldn't feel my hands, and had to waddle inside.
As it got warmer, I was able to stay out side longer, and longer. Finding more and more interesting things. Learning more about space every time I went out.

RECENTLY. I was looking around, and decided to see if I could see Saturn at all.
Expecting to see just another white dot, I opened up a star app on the iPod Touch, and used it to find the planet. I focused the telescope on it, and.... What....?
No way. No gangsta wangsta way. You can see the rings!?
This picture is a little blurry, but with your eye, just to give you an idea of how clear and big it was, you could see the space inbetween the ring, and the planet.


Here is a close up picture:
The little lens flare, (Why there are two planets) and also why the pictures are blurry, is because I took an iPod with a camera, and stuck it on the lens and had to keep it really still, and find the perfect spot to take a picture. it took like, 15 minuets.

Just to help you see.



And also,

I2k.

Life out in the boonies is great. No neighbors, big yard, plus, you can do whatever the heck you want and nobody knows or cares. But there are a few downsides as well.
One of the worst, is the internet. You can either get satellite internet, or get some weird wireless stuff, that has the download speed of dial up, that even sometimes fails.
We are using a wireless internet provider called I2k.
I2k is better than dial up, but it still never gives us what we pay for, because somewhere in the fine print of our contract, it says that our internet may not always be what we are paying for or something along those lines... We have never gotten what we pay for, which is 1 MB/s
Instead, we get something along the lines of 100 KB. That's on a good day... at 3 am.
On a bad day, we have gotten as worse as 100 bytes per second. on average, we get about 30KB.

Lets think about this. 1 MB is made of 1000 KB, 1 KB is made of 1000 Bytes.

When we get to those low points, I imagine the i2k building housing the internet generator with all of its huge switches that take 3 men to turn on and off gets overloaded, and the generator spits out sparks and flames, setting the building on fire.
