MC Chris Ownz

Yes, he does. Everyone needs to get out and download or buy MC Chris's albums immediately. He's like a 12 year old Eminem on PCP. Rawk. Check the rhymes:

I'm in like a branch davidian
I'm what's left of the lithium in Cobaine's cranium
I fill Wembley stadium
I'm once bitten, twice shy, call it pyromania!
When I roll up in Kashyyk, I roll three Jedis deep
See the peeps with whom I creep all got vests underneath...

Blowin' up, makin cream, I am just like Howard Dean
When I scream I get red, I get mean

SO AWESOME!!!

Would You Like Bundt With That?

Apparently, men in Japan are afraid to be seen eating delicious, elaborate pastries in public. To outflank this cultural taboo, some bakeries have started (just in time for being too late for Valentine's Day) to offer said delicious pastries disguised as fast food. Pictures and links below.

Valentine's Day

It just occured to me that if you abbreviate Valentine's Day, people won't know whether you're talking about Valentine's Day or Venereal Disease.

"Oh yeah, my girlfriend and I had a great VD."

Make An Igloo

Grand Shelters has everything you need to make your own igloo or snow cave. They claim that the shelters are warm, but I don't really see how a shelter made of frozen materials could be very warm. But maybe that's just my ignorant white man prejudice. Or whatever.

More Proof that Military Intelligence is an Oxymoron

A blue ribbon committee of military experts recently reported that implementation of the military's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy cost taxpayers 363.8 million dollars in the period from 1994 to 2003. This is really absurd. What a ridiculous amount of money to spend on such a stupid policy. Quotes from the press release follow:

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 /U.S. Newswire/ -- A new Blue Ribbon Commission of military experts today estimated the total cost of implementing the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law to be $363.8 million between 1994 and 2003, a 91 percent increase from a February 2005 Government Accountability Office (GAO) estimate. The report, "Financial Analysis of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,'" was released through the Center for the Study of Sexual Minorities in the Military (CSSMM) at UC-Santa Barbara. It recalculates the cost of the law banning openly lesbian, gay, and bisexual service members by examining the oversights of the 2005 GAO report, which estimated the cost of the ban to be $190.5 million...

The Blue Ribbon Commission acknowledged in their report that the estimate of $363.8 million should be seen as a conservative one. "Given that we were not able to include several cost categories in our estimate and that we used conservative assumptions to guide our research, our estimate of the cost of implementing ("Don't Ask, Don't Tell") should be seen as a lower- bound estimate."

Caffine Naps?

An excellent way to deal with mid-morning sleepiness is apparently a caffine nap. Here's what you do:

• Drink a cup of coffee kind of fast
• Take a 15 minute nap right away
  
• Wake up and be super-productive

The coffee + nap clears your body of adenosine, which makes you sleepy. Worked for me when I tried it.

Oh My God, It's a Puppy Monorail.

Now I can die in peace. This is the most painfully cute picture I think I've ever seen.


A guy named James Horecka made this monorail for his dogs after joking about it with friends. Damn that's cute. If this picture produced deep longings for cuteness within your soul, visit Cute Overload, a site which is exactly what its name says it is.

Do NOT Go Hunting with Dick Cheney

Over the past 2 days, it has become public knowledge that VP Cheney shot a friend in the face with a shotgun while quail hunting. First off, what? The Vice President shot a guy in the face? Ok, that's kind of odd to begin with, but strangeness has only begun. The night before I heard about this I watched The Wedding Crashers with my family, and, lo and behold, Vince Vaughn gets shot... quail hunting... in the ass. So now I'm afraid I'll get shot quail hunting or something. Maybe I'll just be crossing the street and I'll see the VP running at me from behind a sheet of fleeing quail, and end up with my own birdshot wounds. Unlikely, but possible.

Also, this news flurry has finally proven that no one in the entire world of journalism has ever owned or shot a gun. It's not that hard to understand that there are different things that come out of guns (especially shotguns), and not all of them are bullets. Jebus.

Free and Very Nice Wallpapers

New pages at Mydeskcity, with a ridiculous amount of free hi-res desktop wallpapers.

Hops, Barley, and RAM

I need one of these immediately. I can't think of a better mix of business and pleasure than a computer with a tap built in. I smell a pledge project at KDR.

As he Ran into the Seven Samurai, he shouted, "Yo, Jimbo!"

I don't know what it is with me and the Japanese this evening. But here's a link to an archive of Akira Kurosawa movie posters, which are by and large pretty swank.

Spider-san

Here is one of the stranger things I've seen. It's a Japanese version of Spiderman (with subtitles, of course) that is well, very Japanese. It's interesting how different cultures create superheroes for themselves; the US heroes tend to be either absurdly muscle-bound and large or sensuously filled-out women, while the Japanese ones tend to be giant robots or giant reptiles. Do the Japanese suffer from robot-envy, gluing metal shards to their arms and heads in hopes that some day they too can be beautiful like a Gundam? You won't find the answer here.

Andrew Rosenblum Works for the New World Order

You heard me right. There's absolutely no other explaination for the sheer revolting badness that is the GameLife Video Game Review Show. Screenhead has the video.

Domo Arigato

Just the facts when it comes to free robot sex. That's what you can expect from me.

Paris Hilton is 94% Slut

Um.....

No comment, just bask in it.

Insane and Ridiculous

Click through here if you're looking for a reason to rip your eyes from their sockets. In all honesty, how could "Please recognize our progress" be a winning slogan?

Mmmmm... Delicious PS3

Looks like the first working PS3 will be on display. Gizmodo has the inside dirt. Is there any bastard who plans to own all of the next-gen game systems? Give me his address.

First Off

johneyfrie7622 is on my serious shit list. I mean, come on. It's bad enough that he leaves a worthless comment on a mostly worthless post that I put up many many months ago, but to link to crappy search engines? Unacceptable. johneyfrie7622, watch your jibba-jabba ribba-stix-lovin ass.

....zzzzzz.... What? Huh?

Yeah, so I forgot that I have a blog. Big whoop, wanna fight about it? Anyways, since I'm not fully employed (perhaps I'm underemployed?) at the moment, I've decided to follow the siren song of free publicity and unlimited fame on the internet once again. Stay tuned.
