"You know what bugs the shit out of me? The way people always refer to me as if I was the most insignificant, unneeded thing in the world. 'Man, you packed a lot in that suitcase.' Everything but ME, they'd say. And if that isn't bad enough, now they're referring to me in completely ridiculous circumstances like 'This is an excellent homemade cake, Flo, what's in it?' Again... pretty much everything but me. And WTF? I was never intended to be part of any recipe, or to be packed in a suitcase. And should anyone be surprised that burglars would steal everything from your home but me? I mean, really, I'm sure they've already got one of me, plus I wouldn't go for much on the black market. Well, all I've gotta say to those of you using my name to represent the last resort... EVERYTHING... is screw you! Screw. You."

Man, I think I remember hearing about this guy on Art Bell once, but you HAVE to read about him. I couldn't tear myself away, because I'm so into time travel it's nuts.

Ebay stuff

I selling some George Carlin autographed records on Ebay right now, along with another custom song. I'm going to try and do more of those as my equipment gets better, and I have better samples to put online. But, I'm sorry... no more songs about Kinko's. I'm over it already! haha

XXX ain't just a shitty action movie anymore!

Don't know if y'all have heard of this yet. It's a new domain suffix that would allow pervs like me to sign up for, oh, maybe bordfans.xxx or something. haha. I think it's a good idea, but only if the SLEW of porno on .com sites, .net sites, .org sites, (non-profit porn? I'm sure it's online somewhere!) or whatever is moved over to .xxx sites. But then, as the article points out, what happens when informational sex-ed sites, or sites having to do with abortion or other touchy issues are forced to move to .xxx and can therefore be blocked by parents mean enough to block porn from their kids? (In 1996, when we got our first computer, my parents had no clue how to block porn. Thanks Ma and Pa!) It's not like the .xxx sites will make porn any easier to find. I mean, just type in www.(insert any combination of pornographic words here).com and I'm sure you'll find some sassy entertainment. I'm a little worried at what you'll find at say, www.teletubbies.xxx - hmm... If the WORD exists, it WILL be a website. The Bush administration is against the new domain suffix, but then again, they think preaching abstinence is a good idea. But hey, with more porn available, maybe abstinence will be more doable. No pun intended. What are your thoughts, ring of friends?

What a weekend!

So, Thursday night was the big STINT show, and it went great! Dan had a little cold, and we were slightly off on a couple songs, but I don't think anyone noticed much. Trevor at The Klinic loved it, and was exstatic to get such a big crowd on a Thursday. It blew my mind, also, to see how many people showed up! Thanks to all you punk rockers out there, and thanks to those who aren't yet punk rockers, but secretly yearn to be (aka - everyone else). Friday E, Dan H. and I drove up to Hudson (near MN's Twin Cities) Wisconsin for a big ol' party with old friends. It was an awesome time, and no one got too hungover. There are fewer and fewer of those now that we're "adults". haha. I finally got to see Team America, and now I believe everyone that told me it was hilarious. "AMERICA... FUCK YEAH!!!" Yesterday (Sunday) we came back home and rented Glengarry Glen Ross at Blockbuster, because we heard an interview with the director on the radio, and it sounded interesting. It was kinda boring, mostly just dialogue, but you get to hear Jack Lemmon say "fuck" a lot, so that was cool. The director talked it up WAY too much. But it seemed to get critical acclaim and all that, so maybe you'd like it. I guess it was worth watching. Unlike this movie, which you should never rent. VERY mediocre. I didn't get it. Jameel gave me my birthday present from last year that he's been holdin' onto since then. It was America: The Book, by Jon Stewart and the Daily Show writers. So far, it's AWESOME! They lay it out like a textbook, which makes it funnier. They even have the little stamped-in grid where you write your name at the beginning of the year, so you can see if you got the same textbook as one of your older siblings from years ago or something. haha. Read the first few pages on Amazon. Well, today (Monday) I'm sick. Actually, I feel okay, but my throat since yesterday was really sore (insert inappropriate male felatio joke here). I love that Vicks throat spray stuff. Works like a charm. So, since I took of Friday and Sunday for our trip, I have off Saturdays and Tuedays, and I'm sick today, that means I had myself a sweet 5-day vacation. Nice. Only now my personal hours are dwindling. Oh well. In a way I want things to get busier at work, so I can pick up hours on days I don't work instead of using personal time. On the other hand, that means I'll have to work that much MORE when I'm actually there. Hm... Guess I'll just leave it up to fate. It's in my best interest to want the company to grow, 'cause then I have a better chance at moving up within the company. Even though I'm sleeping with the training coordinator, it hasn't seemed to help yet. haha. Well, for now I leave you with this thought... Why don't bands give themselves names like LeatherWolf anymore?

Did you know Milton-Bradley used to be Milton-Hitler? Not really. But here's a funny picture from ThisIsBroken.com. Took me a while to get it, since the explanation of why it was "broken" just said "ill-advised board design." haha. This one is funny and requires no explanation. Look at the last line on the menu on the left.

Poor baby...

If anyone watched tonight's pre-season Packer game, it was pretty good. But I was very saddened by Terrell Owen. My heart goes out to him. He is NOT in the top ten highest players of the league, and that is NOT fair, according to his agent. The poor sap has to live on a measly 6 million bucks a year. How can he even feed HIMSELF on that, let alone a family? It's a tragedy, to be sure. I mean, forget about the children in third-world countries whose only food is flies they happen to have the strength to pick off their bloated bellies or get from their eyes, which can't produce tears because of dehydration. Forget about the homeless during Christmastime. I'm calling the American Red Cross right now and asking them to help out good ol' T.O. I'm also starting my own fund to help him through these tough times. First, I'm going to steal from our country's teachers. I mean, shit, they make 20 THOUSAND dollars a year! That's the price of a really nice car. They could buy themselves a new car every year, so I'm sure they get paid well more than what they are worth. I mean all they are doing is leading the children of today into good futures so they can take care of us when we're 80 and shitting our pants again. I'm also taking paypal payment donations. Please send what you can to this email- whinybitch_t_o@richfuck.com - but first take a minute to sit down and let this all sink in. Wipe the tears from your eyes and relax with a glass of water while you get your senses back. It's okay. Everything will be fine.

Great Scott!

A "friend" of mine showed this to me, and it seems interesting. I hope people actually read it, because my "friend" is having fun writing about his adventures. "He" also hopes there aren't any holes in his "true" story, and is going to see how long "he" can "pull it off". Not like it's not "real" or anything, though. -- http://realtimetravel.blogspot.com/ --

Fun facts.

This blog post will be about fun facts learned OFF the internet (IS there such a thing anymore? haha)...
1. Did you know ZIP in zip code stands for Zone Improvement Plan? Came about in the late 60's, I think. Maybe the 70's. Anyway, not that long ago.
2. Gatorade was developed by University of Florida researchers to quench the thirst of the Florida Gators. After its invention, they won two bowl games!

Happy fun time

Some of the "missions" this group does are a little sketchy, and some piss people off a little, but for the most part, I think it's awesome. This one made me smile. Now my mouth hurts.
