looong weekend

Sorry for not posting anything of interest recently. This long holiday weekend took a lot out of me. I did quite a bit more drinking and eating than I had expected, and spent a good deal of time, just recovering (couch laying, sleeping in, etc…).
One scary thing, Tuesday night and Saturday night, I got […]

the place for the evil hardware man

TNN was showing the James Bond marathon over the holiday weekend (and yes Chris, you’re right, Roger Moore CAN’T run). One thing’s for sure, whether you’re a Russian , super-terrorist, drug dealer or disgruntled 00 agent, you need an underground lair. That’s why there’s villainsupply.com. Everything you need to take over the world. And […]

more fun bush

Another great Bush picture. At least this one isn’t a snapshot of him doing something dumb. I normally get annoyed by this sort of thing, but funny issss funny…

merry christmas!

I finally hung up the christmas decorations now that the shopping season has begun. I hope you like the new seasonal logo. Now here’s the thing. I want presents. No, actually I don’t want presents. No, I really do. But, the real deal is that most people (including my family) never know what to get […]

kikkoman? [updated]

We all know how sick the Japanese are. Well, this is one of the funniest, most bizarre things ever. I guess this guy is a big fan of soy sauce. Make sure your volume is turned up for this…

10,000 pages!

I just heard on Fox News that the declaration Iraq will be handing over tomorrow is over 10,000 pages long? What the fuck!? It weighs more than 130lbs! No kidding. The whole thing will need to be translated and edited so not to include recipes for nuclear weapons and chamical and biological weapons which some […]

The Real Inspectors

I love the argument in the post below: the one about the 10,000 page Iraq document. It turned out to be 12,000 pages by the way. Anyway, I received a very relevant article from a friend of mine that really does change the whole perspective and the whole argument when referring to war on Iraq. […]

Weapons of Mass Destruction

In one of his blog entries, Mannion brought up a really good issue that I think bears further inspection. Weapons of Mass Destruction or WMD has been at the fore front of media coverage recently. So recently that many wonder why weren’t we worrying about it earlier if it was such a big deal. The […]

As a break from today’s world affair’s discussion , which I will read and comment on when I get a chance, I would like to point out that one of my favorite bike builders, Chopperdave, will be on one of my favorite shows, Monster Garage, on the Discovery Channel tonight. 8 P.M. If you […]

Rename “The Two Towers”

…to Something Less Offensive Petition Petition.
I think petitions are one way to express one’s opinion, but there are opinions out there, that are plain, simple, outright – stupid.
But see for yourself: petitiononline.com/twotower
I was quite puzzled to see over 3500 people signed the petition, until i read their comments…

super funny stuff

I thought there was nothing in the world funnier than monkeys, midgets, or farts, all right around the same level of funny. Well, I was wrong. Gay Asian men are the funniest thing in the world, as demonstrated in this clip. I think I’ll coin a new term for Gay Asians: Gasians!

Toxic teddies

I came across this on aftimes.com this morning. There’s an article about it on the main site but you have to scroll through a lot of other stuff to get to it. Here’s a pic of the toxic teddies. It actually took me a second before I got disturbed.

Nerdhammer

I just read Roger Ebert’s review of Star trek: Nemesis and it sounds a lot like one of Chris’s rants. I thought you’d get a kick out of it.

The Fast and the Furious Called

They want their movie back. This looks awful. Really Really Awful. Fishburn must have either a bad drug habit he needs to support or bad gambling debts. Kid Rock’s sole acting credit is listed as “Joe Dirt.” If that is your acting credit, do you admit it?
Just as the Fast and […]

todd levin fell down…

and I laughed out loud when I read his post about it. I really felt some sympathy for him because I have had a very similar dancing experience.
I think it was 1996 or so. It was my birthday. It was the Saturday night before Easter Sunday. A small group of friends and I went out […]

christmas cheer

Merry Christmas! I just got up from the dinner table. The traditional Christmas Eve fish dinner was fantastic. Janet, my mother, made as usual, WAY too much food. We gorged in Frutta de Mare (cold fish salad with shrimp, calamari, octopus, scungili, crab, mussels, and some other stuff), stuffed clams, fried shrimp, crab rangoons (I […]
