Allow me to go NO MA'AM for a moment

Everything that is wrong with the world can be summed up in this photo:



For more wrongness, visit Hot Chicks with Douchebags. But not at work.

I want to take Matt LeBagg and run him through a grinder so I can harvest his grease for lubricating machinery on a southern dairy farm.

I would spend every waking moment of my life reading Shakespeare to baby goats just for a chance to be in the same room as this goddess.

I hate my life.

More YouTube magic



I saw a turtle this morning crossing the street near the house. I should have stopped and told it that Jonathon likes him.

Pardon Johnny Cash

First, read the article.

Then, visit the site.

This would be cool if it happens. I might even volunteer to take my old job of stage crew if they get a star-studded lineup.

Another great show about to say goodbye.

This Sunday, on [adult swim], the last Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law will air. It will be another top-notch 'toon from [as] that will fade into the sunset. When [adult swim] debuted, it was a breath of fresh air. A number of great shows have come through [as] to entertain me.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force (#1 in da hood, G!)
Sealab 2021 (RIP Capt. Murphy)
The Boondocks
Venture Bros.
Home Movies (it's ok)
Metalocalypse
Robot Chicken
The Brak Show (Thundercleese!)
Squidbillies
even running old SGC2C

They made Sunday nights worth staying up for.

Now half of these shows are gone. And the rest are mostly crap. I haven't seen any of the new shows they ran recently. I'm not into anime.

[as] is just not the same.

So long Harvey. You will be missed.

Now if they could just parlay this into a Birdgirl series.

Say hello to my new friend.



Say hello to my new ride. A 2007 Saturn Ion. 5-speed transmission. Up to 35 mpg. More economical than my previous ride. (see sad but happy post below)

Yeah, I wish I could have kept the truck. I picked it for a reason. I was young and stupid and it had a lot of cool features. But for all the right reasons, I had to part ways with it.

I picked this vehicle for a reason. I'm older, a tiny bit less stupid, broke and can be in better shape financially with this vehicle in the long run.

So if you are considering getting a new vehicle, may I recommend a Saturn. And if you do happen to go get one, tell 'em I sent you. (please?)

Farewell, old friend

Been trying to sell my truck for a while now. Not that I wanted to, but more of a necessity. You know, the whole money issue and trying to make ends meet.

I was about to give up. Afraid that I would have to bite the bullet and trade it in, only saving a small amount in the long run.

Then the phone call came. A guy was in an accident recently (not his fault) and was assuming the damage was enough to total his truck. So he began searching for another vehicle. That's when he saw my classified ad. After talking to him, he came to look at the truck and fell in love with it. His wife also liked it (which was half the battle).

Like Tom Petty said, the waiting is the hardest part. Well, today was the end of the waiting. His insurance company gave him the word that the vehicle was totaled, which gave him the opening to buy my truck.

I have had a good feeling about this. Now I'm relieved that it actually happened.


So farewell, old friend. We've been through a lot together. That trip to Cincinnati. The many trips to Starkvegas for footb^H^H^H. I'll miss you.

Maybe someday down the road, I'll find a time when I can get another one like it.

In the meantime, I feel like this guy:

A potential national crisis

Pre-determined amounts of TP?

"Most people will take the amount given," says Richard Thorne, director of the company's washroom business. Waxing philosophical, he adds, "People generally in life will take what you give them."


I don't know if this company was thinking of this for a while or not. I'd like to think that they were. We have those auto-dispensing paper towel machines at work. They are ok, if they work. One is generous and usually dispenses two towels for you.

But auto-dispensing TP? That's asking for trouble. Personally, I blame Sheryl Crow. (note: I had to use this link for use of the word 'loo') (note2: sorry Ugly Head, Rooney gets a pass on this one)

Take the amount given? Not if you have an incident like this guy. Of course, in his case, he didn't really need TP.

And now:

Live Earth

Live Earth, a massive global campaign showcasing various artists performing around the world, was held today (7/7/07). It accomplished its goal.

I got to see Kelly Clarkson perform.



Okay, there were a few other artists that performed that I was interested in watching. But none compare to Kelly. She's the whole reason Live Earth was even happening.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some outlets that aren't being used.
