Just the same old crap I always see when I close my eyes

I found this, titled "Superstition and SuperDuperStition." I consider it priceless.

Stealing Color

When the mood strikes (not busy, sleepy, or watching football) I like to play around with the code for my blog. Tobermory gave me a program a while back to steal colors right off the screen - HTML Color Picker which was very useful. I've found an even more elaborate one thatI've been using lately - ColorPic. I guess that makes me a Color Pirate.

My favorite poem

Disillusionment of Ten O’Clock

by Wallace Stevens

The houses are haunted
By white night-gowns.
None are green,
Or purple with green rings,
Or green with yellow rings,
Or yellow with blue rings.
None of them are strange,
With socks of lace
And beaded ceintures.
People are not going
To dream of baboons and periwinkles.
Only, here and there, an old sailor,
Drunk and asleep in his boots,
Catches tigers
In red weather.

Nigeria to Host 2008 Genocides

Heheheheheheh. Story, from the Onion, of course, here.

Finally, PC Contributes

Hey guys, I stumbled upon this site, which has some cool stuff, particularly the Google hacks, and the design-a-maps tool.

Hopefully I'll be of more use as time goes by.

Just a reminder...

Discovery Channel is showing the Killer Squid episode I wrote of earlier at 6 pm CMT tonight.

If you don't watch it, Jesus will give an Iraqi child anal gonorrhea. Do you really want that on your conscience?

Keep yer gawd-damn steely robo-hands off my corn liquor, cyber-queer!

I will not stand for members of the robot race stealing jobs from the hard-working therapists/pharmacists that serve mama her medicine. The only things robots should be doing is lampooning bad cinema and destroying any planet that causes a rucku s.

It's gots to be fer real, cause i done seened it on the internets

We all knew that people are fucking stupid and that stupid people are raising a whole bunch of even stupiderer cretin psychopaths. Well some UConn researchers sadly decided to scientifically investigate just how doomed we all are. Their study shows why we won't be going to the moon anytime soon: we'll be too busy saving the Pacific Northwest tree octopus.

The short version is that all 25 kids/sheep/igmos in this study totally fell for a fake website that advocated saving the endangered tree octopus from almost certain extinction. Not only that, some of these potato heads wouldn't believe the instructors when they told the shit-for-brains that it was a hoax.

So, strap on your helmets and grab your guns folks. Looks like it's going to be fun on the deck of this sinking ship after all.

For Eugenius, the only person I know who actually LIKES fruitcake

Texascooking.com: Fruitcake Subculture Conspiracy:

"Somewhere in the recent past, society took a turn and a long-standing holiday tradition was transformed into a joke. So complete was this societal change that those daring to speak up for or defend fruitcake were virtually stoned by an angry mob. Fruitcake lovers were outcast, rejected and ridiculed by popular culture. So vitriolic was the anti-fruitcake feeling that those with differing views were forced to quietly seek out others who, like them, still appreciated the fruitcake. Soon, the outcasts began to find each other, and so, the fruitcake subculture was formed."

Failure Magazine: Bad Reputation: Forget the Jokes, Fruitcake is serious business-

"According to John, the fruitcake began to get a bad name when people "started getting down on drinking and driving." He claims that a wine company began taking shots at fruitcake in order to divert attention from the problem of holiday drunk driving."
