lord of the wedding ring

so yesterday me and my wife decided to go out and buy baseball gloves so we could play catch...that was fun...until that is, she pulled off her glove and noticed that her wedding ring was missing...about a good half hour of searching produced nothing...but fortunately her parent's neighbor came to the rescue with a metal detector and all was well...my bro-in-law is still pretty damn sick and has the liquid poops from his india trip...yuck-o to the max...did some reviews this past weekend...not much is going on at work right now whatsoever...boo...actually no boos, that's a good thing...also check it, a new exorcist movie is coming out...pretty cool

parrot-core?

Wow, there's a band that plays grindcore music...the catch?...it's fronted by a fucking a PARROT! how awesome is that...plus you gotta love the play on the hatebreed logo...wicked

triple trouble

booooyya check check check it out beastie boys are running from the man!

crazy feet

get your crazy feet on

bro-in-law is back in town

from his big trip to India he definitely has a shitload of stories to tell...this weekend also saw me uploading several reviews as well as calling and bitching at my local theatre for not showing Fahrenheit 9/11...they claimed that it was 'corporate policy not to show documentaries'...and went on to say, 'we only show the movies that are going to be really big and make a lot of money'...oh which I said oops it was the biggest movie this weekend retard

the right is so frustrating numb...rather than actually debate anything, they become belligerent and turn to censorship, just like fascists do...

whooa I got a google email account

yeehaw I was able to know somebody that knows somebody that hooked me up with a gmail account...so yeah it's the name of the blog + gmail.com...I guess they're banking that no one will use that much space, otherwise could you imagine how many racks of hdd space they'd need?...well I fully intend to fill mine up...my POP3 smother.net account which I download to my home computer (gotta love eudora.com yo!) has mega-filters and all sorts of wack shit and currently my main inbox has over 8k messages and is roughly 53 megs...of course I have around 20-35 other mailboxs within my normal main account...booyakasha...so yes, this will come in handy...

movies movies movies

looks like they're making a movie based on Speed Racer and the new trailer/clip for Harold and Kumar go to White Castle looks pretty funny...and of course today is the grand opening of Michael Moore's Farenheit 9/11 which is already breaking records so this is a good movie weekend...but of course I'll be writing reviews most of the weekend...and transplanting one of my new tomatoes to another bucket so it grow big-time...whoohoo!

draft bruce and napoleon

So let's make the Republican National Convention interesting, since they want to exploit New York and 9/11, let's draft bruce to play a show the same day effectively upstaging the president...whooohoo!

also I saw a trailer for Napoleon Dynamite which looks hilarious...booyakasha

hey mr. DJ

just finished reading this great rant about DJing too funny...

more reason to hate aol

it appears that an AOL employee stole a list of some 92 million email addresses and sold them to a spammer isn't that lovely???!??

the skinny puppy show

last night my brother and I went to the Skinny Puppy show at the 9:30 Club...we got there about an hour and a half before doors open, right around 6pm...after we parked and got situated with that we walked around looking for a place to get some food...we found this total dive called "Joe's Restaurant" that promised steaks, eggs, and open 24 hours...we walked in, instantly felt like dumb white suburban kids, like we are, as a big black lady turned around and shouted "do ya'll want steaks" which was met by much laughter, maybe at our expense...I'm not sure if it was a bust on us or not, but they were nice folks regardless...and the food was good, until I found a big ole hair in my hamburger...ah well, it was pretty cheap like $5 bucks for a double cheeseburger with bacon AND fries...whoo!...then we got in line and I forgot how much I despise a.) teenagers at concerts 2.) goth kids iii.) people in general...yeah well I'm sure I was just that obnoxious when I was going to concerts...then we finally got in, and waited for the merch guy to put all the prices on all the stuff...I mean seriously, a Skinny Puppy thong!? weird! but maybe would look nice on the wife...haha, and I would have gotten a tour shirt--it went for a cool $25 bucks but sadly I have no money until we get paid this week as evidenced by the $400 I spent on new tires and better rear brakes earlier yesterday...ARGH!...fucking virginia vehicle inspections...sooo annoying, but that tangent aside...the first act was this crazy glitch-core dude Otto Van Schirach who also I believe contributed a bit to the new Skinny Puppy album...he was pretty cool, I really like that style of music but it's hard to really get into a dude with a laptop and a mike...and he said a few really stupid things that probably went over well for the teens but I guess I'm too old to think it's rad when someone says something about their mom being dead...his stage presence was quite Patton-like, very quirky...then the next band was Chris Vrenna's Tweaker, and they reminded me of Stabbing Westward + Gravity Kills with vocals done by Bono and Perry Farrell not exactly exciting but pretty groovy electronic rock-based music...there just was no stage presence...

then finally Skinny Puppy came out...now you have to understand I've been a big fan of their's for forever...I even have a tattoo of their "SP" symbol on my arm...anyways, the band came out and performed a little opening piece while Ogre was offstage...then he came onstage wearing a weird almost scarecrow looking outfit...very interesting...their setlist was something like:

Downsizer, I'mmortal, Pro-Test, Empte, Curcible, God's Gift, Glass Houses, VX Gas Attack, Worlock, Neuworld, Inquisition, Tin Omen, Hardset Head, Harsh Stone White, Human Disease SKUMM, Reclamation, Brap

with an Encore of: Convulsion, The Choke, Testure, Smothered Hope

of course all the kids went nuts when they finished with "Smothered Hope" because of course Ministry covered that and I think a lot of kids were more Ministry freaks--at least the ones around us were--because they went nuts during that song...but the stage was really neat...they had a bunch of tv sets up on stage as well as a big backdrop where they showed their typical (well I've never seen them live but have plenty of bootlegs damn it!) video background footage...this time around there was plenty of cspan footage of bush and they merged it with hitler and america's idiotic patriotism with nationalism and nazism and whatnot...it was pretty awesome..there was also some footage of some weird video game thing where ogre shot these people...plus of course they also put footage from the crowd up there and ogre up on the screen as well...very awesome...looks like there's a thread started on how to get the footage already...all in all, it was exactly what the doctor ordered and was worth the wait...whooo!

by the way, here's the blog for the guy who redesigned the purevolume.com site

"There's no flying" and "Remarkable Chap"

The new Seinfeld + Superman commercial is pretty damn funny! Go check it out

jack ryan?

no not this jack ryan but this one the republicans finally get a taste of their own poison! whoohoo sex scandals, those are always the best!

bush is over in the control room

I want to check out this new movie called Control Room and while I'm at I gotta get me a Bush Is Over shirt...whoohoo!

tell cheney to prove it or resign!

tell cheney to prove the links between Iraq and Al Qaeda or resign of course the entire administration is a bunch of liars...and they thought clinton's "lies" were bad!...

dulles expos?

well it may be right around the corner as it turns out...so I'd finally get to see national league teams when it's not just interleague play...whoohoo!

madden and maddening injuries

apparantly there's going to be a special collector's edition of Madden 2005 with a whole bunch of cool features...here's what the article says:

In an announcement that's likely to please football fans all over North America, Electronic Arts confirmed today that it would be releasing a special limited collector's edition of Madden NFL 2005 this August. Meant to act as a celebration of the franchise's 15th anniversary, the special edition will only be available for the PlayStation 2.


Officially known as Madden NFL 2005: Collector's Edition, this exclusive set contains all the same features of the regular version in addition to a slew of bonus content. The extras in question are frankly, pretty damn cool, and are highlighted by playable versions of classic 16-bit Madden titles from the 90s and two more from the PlayStation One era. Other supplemental goodies include a Madden Trivia Challenge with more than a 1000 questions, a Madden Moments feature that allows players to relive great moments from the last 15 years, and historical playoff teams that are also taken from the last 15 years each with their authentic uniforms.

Surprisingly, the list of bonus content doesn't stop there either. As Madden Collector's Edition will also boast tons of bonus video content that covers the history of the Madden franchise, various musical tracks from the game, and an inside look at the production of a Madden title. Apparently there were be a few other bonus goodies as well, but EA hasn't slipped what those might be yet. What the giant company has revealed, however, is the price: $59.95.


cool eh? sweet! but ray lewis is supposedly on the cover which will mean he'll get injured or some shit...argh, damn madden curse! but at least it's not marc bulger or a redskin player! whoohooo...speaking of injuries and curses, it looks like another one of my team's pitchers, Jarod Washburn is hurt, as if more people on that team need to be injured--both the angels and villified which is the name of my team...the secret to our name is that it's a combination of both my birthplace's town's name and my father's (who is the co-manager)...rockVILLe and springFIELD...sure it's mucked up a bit but whatever...and my main man michael moore says he won't say I told ya so

brin' da love

oh another week at work....whoa bundy, this is fun...no it's not...not too much is going on as we prepare for our software release this weekend, which I might I add, get to monitor because we have to babysit some of the bigger dorfs in our galaxy of domain named nonsense...blah, I just tire endlessly of the same rotation of the same thing over and over again, spinning out of control...besides, I just got my car inspected and it failed because my two front tires are balding like jack nicholson...som'bitch...but relax I tout myself as I peep the new brain love, which is cool despite their disdain for keane, hell one of their top ten lists an agoraphobic nosebleed cd which is money to me...besides its that wacky lo-fi art that just gets me rolling...put the resume out there I tell myself, for I will not engage in the child making until I'm outta this place...this place has nowhere to go and offers little in terms of greatness...the two holes were my wise teeth used to be are annoying but not painful...tomorrow I see skinny puppy and I'm quite excited...booyakasha...

now this is fucking metal

whooo, check out the beasts of satan!!! crazy Italian bastards...

photos from our trip to europe

I had meant to post the link a while back but I guess I just forgot...regardless, you can peep our pictures from our european belated honeymoon and leave us a comment or three...oh and please note, that I am dumb and put all the comments/descriptions on the photos...yeah so don't like blame my wife for how silly it is...wicked...in related news, my friend the g-money who was capped is doing fine, just has some buckshot in her noggin and stomach...took one for the team apparantly...so I wonder if she's a blood (or blud but not to be confused with these guys) or a crip...haha which reminds me of the southpark episode where jimmy and timmy join the crips...hahaha

life after communism

I found this pretty interesting. It's issue #366 of the New Internationalist Magazine, which discusses life after communism in the old Soviet Union and Eastern Europe...not all that it was cracked up to be

2 teeth and a microphone

yesterday afternoon I got two of my wisdom teeth pulled...so why do they call them wisdom teeth if they never come in correctly and always are ridiculously screwed up in almost every mouth...this is what I asked my dentist...is it some sort of dentist inside joke I further questioned...he laughed as he held massive pliers and one of those funny little mirrors on a metal rod and said "no I believe its because they usually erupt when you reach adulthood"...so he recommends getting them done in your teens...argh! if only I had known...pain-wise I'm pretty much over it, although it's still difficult to eat...but he gave me a prescription to vicodin which resulted in generic drugs that were tremendously cheaper--whoohoo, fuck those pharmaceuticals!

my stupid senators don't want to protect our troops OR our tax dollars as both George "the smiling buffoon" Allen and John "Don't Confuse Me With Mark" Warner both voted AGAINST Senator Leahy's amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 that would have made warprofitting illegal, basically asserting that contractors couldn't overcharge the government or cheat the government out of money...so how does halliburton cheat the government out of money? well they sign contracts with our government that give them a percentage over cost (I believe some are at a seemingly miniscule 3%) BUT they get to define what the cost is...in addition if a truck breaks down for whatever reason, inside of fixing the truck, they'll just buy a new one and charge the US taxpayer for it...isn't that grandly patriotic? and the republicans voted AGAINST this amendment...that's right, those supposedly fiscal conservatives thought that it was a bad idea to NOT waste our taxpayer's money...it's so annoying when republicans and conservatives accuse the democrats or liberals as being free-spenders, which in many cases can be true of course, when these same conservatives and republicans do EXACTLY the same thing... but hypocrisy is devout throughout the world. for example, bishops are apparantly still saying the same nonsense about abortion and communion to catholic lawmakers who support reproductive rights apparantly ignoring the fact that the church was also against the war and is publicly against the death penalty...what a bunch of hypocrites that will burn in hell when they die...again more reasons to avoid the religious scene completely...

my friend was shot!

ACK! My friend whose currently living in Pittsburgh (Miss Horney as her nickname used to) sends me this e-mail telling me that the guy who shot her (what the fuck?) is pleading not-guilty to the charges...uhhhh what the fuck? she sent me this article about it I can only assume she's ok (at least good enough to send me an email)...first time I hear from her in like a month and it was really bad news...I mean getting shot with a shotgun can't be a good thing no matter where you're wounded...so here's to hoping she fully recovers and is a-o-k!

poetry and cheney as a robot

check out this fun little poem and from the people who first told us that Bush was going to enforce mandatory square dance law, we're now told that indeed, cheney is a robot. wheeee!

psycho-analyzing bush

interesting, me thinks

baby drop

catch the falling babies and did neil patrick harris steal my car and who said the french don't make cool stuff and help inspire a beatdown song or two

oh and speaking of inspiration, a bigot that doesn't know his head from a dumbbell (dude, what up with spelling "etc." wrong, lay off the 'roids bro), have apparantly been thusly inspired to put this at the top of his blog:

"WARNING In this blog I express my opinions & thoughts. If you are gay, fat, and/or ignorant (inspired by J-Sin) I urge you not to read, but if you decide to do otherwise… it’s your fault."

it feels good to be inspiring. it's just a shame he's overcompensating and feeling the typical feelings that homophobes feel but thusly bounds on his meaty chest proclaiming--"I am not gay! I do not like pink (the color OR the 'artist')! I have dreams...about the opposite sex!" blah, how tiresome and how utterly see-through. psych 101 material bud. you're not fooling anyone.

the riaa can taste it

I'm sorry but the RIAA doesn't care about artists, oh wait, they care about the MILLIONAIRES...right.

sometimes it's a shame that morons are allowed blogs

because things like this happen...ugh...yeah, michael moore's movie won't make any money...right...also resorting to calling a person you don't like, fat? let me know how fifth grade goes...

so I do a google for fistagon7

just out of stupid curiosity and land on a blog pulse about britney spears now that's funny...and of course a 'smother' search would land you with a trojan horse warning...wicked...

Imagination Environment

I thought this was pretty interesting...it's a piece of art linked with free association linked with search engines and artwork...you can read the New York Times article at http://www.nytimes.com/2004/06/17/technology/circuits/17info.html?th and read more about that project at the northwestern university site as well as read about their other wild projects

polyphonic elementary kids

this is pretty awesome...the Bobbleheads directing some elementary school kids COVERING the polyphonic spree, check out the fat kid in the Hawaiian shirt who cheats and looks at the kid next to him to figure out the next part and at the end where they all point up to the sky! The one headbanger in there is awesome.

401 keg plan

thought this was pretty funny:

If you had bought $1,000 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.

The same $1,000 worth of Enron would be worth $16.50.

With Worldcom, that $1,000 would be worth less than $5.

If you had bought $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, had drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.

Based on these figures, my new retirement strategy is to drink heavily and recycle. I call it... my 401 Keg program.

blud and poison

got two new tomato plants so I'm learning how to like garden and plant stuff...so I'm officially old...my cat decided it was a great idea to get into one of our glueboard mouse traps...argh. so all I ever caught was a fucking spider and my damn kitty...oh well, she's alright albeit a tad on the sticky side still (just a little bit) and I threw them away...worked on a remix for this song but to no good avail...went to work out this morning and feel great although I'm sure I'll be le tired...other than that not much is going on at work...so make this blog interesting, I'm sure someone comes here and reads it, so post a comment saying 'whut up'...or something

"the" rant

during my weekend of reviews for Smother I got perturbed at the whole "the" band stupid so I went off

http://www.smother.net/reviews/punk.php3?ID=122

here it goes:

The Hives - Walk Idiot Walk [Single]

There’s something about “The Hives” that I just don’t like. Why? Because I have this seemingly impossible thing to shake, which is a hate for the “The” band phenomenon. If you haven’t heard or read any of my previous rants on the “The” retro garage band thing, basically all the “The” bands out there—that being “The” Strokes, “The” Vines, “The” White Stripes, “The” Hives, (and sure Interpol and Jet don’t have a “The” present but they’re in this category too) as well as countless others—are ripping off what “The” Ramones and “The” Rolling Stones have already done years ago. It must be a conspiracy by the music industry who decided to pummel us with “The” same thing over and over again. Of course it sells because some retard in Alternative Rolling Spin decided that it was uber cool and heaped praise onto the whole big stinky mess as if they didn’t make money from advertisements by the same lame record companies who put out this nonsense. If you want to listen to derivative garage rock that worked better in its hey day in the ‘70’s than fine be that way—just don’t come crying to me when some little thirteen year old starts gushing over their music and you’re like “dude they’ve totally sold out”. Sorry they sold out when they pressed record, bro.

rat-a-tat-tat book

check out Jeff Winterberg's new book called "Rat A Tat Tat" which features photos he took of various bands from 1991 to 2003...some of the bands featured includes nation of ulysses, fugazi, the rapture, godspeed you black emperor, drive like jehu, rocket from the crypt, and the melvins among many, many others...for those indie rockers out there I suppose...but might be quite interesting nonetheless...

gym and parking spots

I just got from the gym and must report my observations of completely strange human behavior...so you go to the gym to work out right? my gym also boasts a gigantic olympic size swimming pool (or two, or three or four) that they have competitions at plus a bunch of the standard exercise stuff, a track, a couple of basketball courts, etc. etc. it's called the the freedom center, I know quite a stupid name for a gym but whatever...any-darn-ways I found it hilarious that both on my way in and on my way out that people were literally waiting for closer spots, jockeying for position...why do you do that when you're at the gym to work out!? makes absolutely no sense but then that's typical american behavior for you...we're a strange breed aren't we?

g. gordon liddy's ready to launch

ugh, so g gordy liddy is now pimping nutritional supplements and is so lame he's selling memberships via ebay how utterly lame is that?

we're all going to die

or die of extreme conspiracy

elephant

I saw Elephant last night, this is the new Gus Van Sant movie about high school and two kids who go nuts and hunt students at their school...it's interesting how it's all tied well together and the cinematography was outstanding...the camera work shifts around and several scenes are presented in a variety of perspectives...some scenes leave us guessing only to find out more later...there's interesting metaphors like in the library near the end of the movie (not a spoiler) where one kid shoots with his camera (his hobby and fascination) ironically shooting the shooters who obviously shoot with guns (their hobby and fascination)...talk about stereotypical gay/homosexual behavior in a classroom only to (the rest is a spoiler! scroll down)







find out later that the two culprits are gay lovers...while gus van sant certainly shows how a high school even in the well-to-do suburbs of Oregon could have this happen (a supposedly more liberal area than say Columbine, where one would think there was less guns), his painting of what could possibly trigger such an outburst is interesting...sure the two killers play a videogame--but it's one that's devoid of plot and is simply a killing game where the players shoot their victims in a bleak landscape of nothingness in the back with no dismay of mercy only to have their victims feet rooting out of the ground in mock death...he also shows how the kids get their guns from online stores but refrains from having the automatic machineguns that movies like the terminator series or even the videogames he blames would use--these are more calculated singular shots...he also shows how each child in the movie is somehow affected by some affliction that all children go through or involved with--but these are the children who don't snap...one kid has to take the keys from his drunken father (at 10am int he morning no less!) and drive himself to school while he waits for his family to come and pick his dad up, three girls all have bulimia and throw up their meager lunch (despite their skinniness), another kid gets a girl pregnant, while yet another one is beaten by someone and doesn't want to wear shorts to expose the bruises...its in this way that he shows that indeed we're all different, we all have our problems, and we all choose how to deal with them...the one character most may have problems with is Benny the black kid who helps another kid leave and then traverses the halls trying to figure out what's going on...he's also the only black kid that we're shown...and there's good reason for that...gus van sant is first trying to establish that it's not always "the blacks to blame" as our media and news tries to convince us all the time and secondly it's also homage to columbine...the most riveting nature of this movie is the storytelling mood that we all succomb to, the unique personalities (and stereotypes) of high school kids...we've all been there and we all remember what it was like when we view this movie...amazingly the movie was very adlibbed and featured non-actors (or at least beginners) who did an amazing job...I say this may be one of the most important movies of the year...the calm before the storm and the sky's outward rage and calm after the storm was amazing as was the sounds of the woods when the kids were "hunting their prey" in the school

right-wing spam

it seems as if the dildos that brought us the hundreds of thousands of spam about the Deck of Most Wanted, the deck of bad liberals or whatever they called it are now ramping up to shoot out their spam regarding putting Reagan on currency(because after all he must be the greatest president of all time) which is ironic considering the stupidity and outrights lies of reaganomics in addition these spammers are putting out the 2004 ronald reagan silver dollar spam and as usual they're ramping up the rhetoric saying "defect the liberals in washington, put reagan on the coin"...ugh. and I'm not the only to complain about newsmax's spams and complain about their utter stupidity and even their dumb boycott france spam

it's funny. I called up NewsMax.com and complained about all the spam I got that offered their "products" but they said they couldn't stop the spam since it was done through a third-party and it wasn't their responsibility. so I argued "no it IS your responsibility since the e-mail lands on YOUR site and is offering YOUR products and YOU'RE paying them"...amazingly they then told me, yes we can have them unsubscribe you...well imagine that? of course I also had to mention anti-spam legislation and whatnot...my feeling is that the liberals need to ramp up some spam and just send it all to these idiots that keep sending out their nonsense...

norrath

so I have this PS2 game called "Champions of Norrath", which you can check out here that decides that it likes to crash a lot...I've never had a console game crash more than once or maybe twice and that's usually something like user error (or when I mistakenly had my network card hanging out loosely--I hadn't screwed it in fully doh!) but this game has crashed each and every time I've played and all at different points when the game is loading new data...argh! maybe it's my cheap ass memory card (I hope) but I was hoping to play that game more as it's quite fun and is "supposed-to-be" better than the Baldur's Gate series which I thoroughly enjoyed...

also I'm convinced that our office building wants my company--the only current tenant mind you--out of here...coupled with annoying alarms that seemingly go off every ten minutes, we had fire alarm testing (during the middle of the day), and in addition have drilling, sawing, and other lame ass construction going on also during work hours...it's loud enough at times that if you're on the phone you can't hear the other person!...plus we have this one door that insists if it's open for more than 15 seconds it will start a beeping countdown into a loud annoying BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP sound...it's just more fodder to the annoyance that has become this job...it'd be different if my job required little thought but amazingly enough, I need to sometimes concentrate on something...the fact that our company has let them get away proves that they value us even less as employees than even a pessismist like myself would think...oh monster why do you foresake me? oh virginia lotto why do you not find it in your heart to drop a winning lotto card on the ground in front of my car on my way into my hour-long morning commute?! will ever the Half Baked way of quitting ("Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, fuck you--I'm out!") ever come to fruitation? well we can always fantasize a bit can't we? and until then, I can console myself with taking two drumsticks and beating the living shit out my drumset. word.

moveon.org and climate change

moveon.org is trying to help prevent a climate crisis that was dramatized in the movie the day after tomorrow by setting up a site called climate crisis and starting a petition to push The McCain-Leadership Climate Stewardship Act and fellow bloggers should feel encouraged to spread the word...the word is:

Subject: Help Prevent a Climate Crisis

Dear friend,

Maybe you've heard about the new movie, "The Day After Tomorrow." The movie, which tells the story of a devastating climate crisis, is more science fiction than science fact. Yet the danger it represents is very real. We've got to take action now to prevent a climate crisis.

Fortunately, there is something we can do about it. The McCain-Leadership Climate Stewardship Act would be a big step in the right direction, creating national caps on the greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming.

Join me in calling on Congress and President Bush to enact this bill now, at:

http://www.climatecrisis.org/

We can't afford to wait until the day after tomorrow.

Thank you.

in yet more evidence that the Bush folks are evil bastards

Ashcroft refuses to release memo detailing abuse which is starting to draw focus to bush and his cabinet of ding dongs and it only appears that republicans look to empower the religious right that much more which is quite scary (certainly more scary than small individual 'awesome' song parts) but certainly not as scary as the AEI think-tankers

movies I want to see

Besides Fahrenheit 9/11 which comes out at the end of the month, there's another movie called The Corporation that looks really good!....in an important addition, there's a new director's cut of Donnie Darko that looks awesome!...and check out the shinedown player which if you pass around to others gives you a chance to win a chance to see Shinedown and Van Halen...word.

star spangled madness

new views music is allowing independent artists/musicians/DJs to submit their version of the US National Anthem so that others can download it and whatnot...artists are encouraged to interpret it all their own...maybe I'll submit something...

iraq and fun imdb 'debate'

take a moment and read through American Progress's "Iraq: A Strategy for Progress" it's quite well laid-out and thoughtful and in my mind covers all the bases...also oddly enough there's quite a bit of political 'debate' and 'outrage' on the imdb board for the day after tomorrow how silly...saying things about hitler and how liberals are like him and his propaganda...dumb...but in happy news, michael moore's film got a US distributor! wheee!

got mead?

awesome site is gotmead.com apparantly there's a place that makes mead RIGHT IN VIRGINIA! It's the Smokehouse Winery and its wares are available near me whooohooo!

toejam and earl

Who didn't love this game from Sega back in the day? Well listen/download the Toejam and Earl theme song!

devastating dave

Worst Ten Album Covers of all time? check out devastating dave!!! but seriously I guess they missed all the anal cunt album covers of course their lyrics/song titles are usually more funny/offensive then the album artwork

dumb bugs

by the way, it severely disturbs me that there's so much interest in cicadas...almost 2,000 news articles on them...come on america, wake up and do something constructive with your lives...get involved in something important not whether a cicada has blue eyes or something idiotic. I bet more people know about the fucking cicadas than do that Condi Rice called Bush her husband freudian slip or otherwise...that's a scary thought and is also the focus of some recent boondocks comics freakin' funny

day after tomorrow yesterday

saw day after tomorrow yesterday afternoon...great movie, crowded theatre...It was hilarious how they had their little jabs at the bush administration and most especially dick cheney who looked like his name...of course they didn't have the same names but it was pretty obvious that's who they were poking fun at...so thank you SUV drivers you're not only killing my wallet in the gas prices world but also are helping to kill our environment...of course they're not to blame, it's not their fault that there's a huge tax break to buy one

did I really miss america that much?!

andy kaufman lives

I heard about this while I was in europe and I thought I'd share the news that Andy Kaufman faked his own death (like tupac did!) also he has a blog too how rad is that?
