John Entwistle, the bassist for The Who, was found dead in a hotel room in Los Angeles. He had a heart condition and that is the expected cause of death. The Who was about to embark on tour (I have tix for the Hershey, PA show) and although the first two shows have been cancelled they are reportedly "up in the air" concerning the rest of the tour. As much as I'd love to see them, I hope they cancel - if for no other reason, out of respect for the Ox...

First X men, now Spider Man soon Daredevil. Marvel movies a go!

Wa-hooo! TNN has purchased the rights to the Ren and Stimpy cartoons and they plan on bringing it back into production! The best part is that they are trying to bring back John Kricfalusi, the show's creator, who left when Nickelodeon complained about the show's violent and controversial content. Of course, that sent the ratings into the tiolet causing Nick to cancel what had been their biggest show before they made that essential marketing decision. TV Guide says: According to TNN sources, the network plans to run "Man's Best Friend" as well as restore deleted footage into other Ren & Stimpy originals. As for Kricfalusi, a TNN spokeswoman confirmed that the network "was in discussions" with him about doing new episodes but would not discuss any of the details. Kricfalusi declined comment. In the words of Stimpy, "I can hardly contain myself!"

Woohoo! I just got the call and I'm going to be working at the Great Tastes of Pennsylvania Wine and Food Festival this weekend! I'll be serving and selling wine for the Susquehanna Valley Winery (no web page, I'll have to fix that) so if you are in/from the area stop by and have some Gluwein or a nice glass of their Niagara, you'll be glad you did...

Everything you ever wanted to know about RFOs (rectal foreign objects.) Actually, it's probably a hella-lot more than you wanted to know but, like a hideous automobile accident, you just have to look.

Got some time to kill? Check out God's Livejournal and Lord of Darkness' LiveJournal. I don't think the writers are very old (they strike me as high schoolers or thereabouts) but their blogging is somewhat entertaining for the most part, they even caught the eye of Tech TV (which is where I found out about this.) Good work guys...

One of the entires from this year's 5k Contest is absolutely staggering! That anyone could build a reasonably functional game like Pixel Ninja using under 5k of code and graphics is amazing. They should put these people to work rewriting operating systems!

Welcome to Mars, have a nice day.

I never knew that weebles like pie so much! I likewise never knew that their arch nemesis was a wee bull. Humorous, a bit odd and nicely done Flash animations that are also very dialup speed friendly. And, just for Matt and Amy who will understand: I like pie tooooooooooo!

We're here, we're queer, we've come to rescue you. Gay Superheros.

A. Essay question. Two choices: life as an gay atheist in Fargo North Dakota, or life as a Christian gay in Riyadh. Write 1,000 words describing how each faces equal hardship. If your essay contains less than 1000 words, you will either be docked one grade or have your left hand removed with an ornately engraved scimitar, depending on which morally-equal culture the teaching assitant wishes to consult

Just a small part of a scathingly funny James Lileks screed that is well worth the read. It's especially good if you're at all confused about the moral difference between "Western culture" and the aims of Muslim extremists...and it does so with tongue firmly planted in cheek while still making a very valid point. Good stuff.

What enemy of the Christian Church are you?

You're inserted into various bodily orifaces, and cranked open slowly, stretching and tearing delicate internal tissues. You were a choice punishment for homosexuals and female witches. Also painful to contemplate. You're probably one of those powder-keg people, just need a spark at the right time to go off.

What torture would you be?

Even if you're in jail, that doesn't mean that you can't stay in style! Don't fret, Martha Stewart Living in Jail is there to keep you abreast of the latest in inmate chic...

The random quote feature, which got lost in the shuffle when we switched servers, is back in service up in the masthead of the blog. If you have any short one-liners you'd like to add just pop me an e-mail and I'll see to it. Also, let me know if there are any spelling errors, grammar problems or just plain weirdness now and again, I think I've got the database cleaned up pretty well but ya never know! I'll just blame it on the guy who wrote the script anyway.

Shit. That's me...

Did well on the Science IQ Quiz earlier? Try the Intuitor Basic Physics Savvy Quiz! I did rather well on this, about 80%, but I really kind of liked Physics in school. These questions are MUCH harder than the one's in the other quiz mind you...

As if the record industry hadn't pissed me off enough already with their draconian response to digital music and their attempts to blame their losses on pirating instead of the fact that the suck ratio in the music bins hasn't been this high since the hair band days - well, now they've gone and done it! Their newest proposal makes me see fucking red! Now they have proposed a 6% "royalty" on used CD's!!! What a bunch of vampires...their losses couldn't possibly be because of their shoddy management or the fact that they spend big bux on parties and perks instead of artist development. And all this occurs while the musicians themselves make pennies on each CD sold...it's a freakin' scam...

Some days you just find the weirdest crap while surfing around the net. Today's collection of strange would include cat boxing, uvula piercings and, the "bobbiting" of the new century, the gruesome tale of a woman who cut a man's ass off! It's going to be a great day...

Starting in a very short while, all new music published by RIAA members will feature TuneBlock™, a method whereby special harmonics included in the songs will erase all memory of the melody, chords, and words from your mind shortly after you hear it, leaving nothing but a pleasant sensation of having enjoyed something.

Boy you think with my interest in comics, this site would get me all worked up. Too bad the girl isnt better looking. Oh well, here is Superhero fantasies.

This completes my comics and bondage theme for tonight. The Complete List of Female Heros in Distress!

Does anyone like this comic related stuff I keep posting? Just let me know.

Here you go. Everything you ever wanted to know about Super Heros and bondage.

Perhaps you have never considered going underwater to find a belief system worth investing in...you probably never, in your wildest dreams, thought that the secrets to living a happy, contented and fulfilling life could come from a tiny animated sponge. Well, we're The Church of SpongeBob Squarepants and we bring to you, today, Good News! FINALLY...

Hoping comic books will do for his popularity what they did for Spiderman's and Wonder Woman's, Mexico City's mayor announced Friday he will publish his very own "historieta" touting the achievements of his first 18 months in office.

Entitled "Stories from the City," the comic book will be distributed free of charge to 2 million homes and will highlight Mayor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's programs for senior citizens, handicapped people, single mothers and prospective business owners.

I guess what really shocked me is that using comic books to distribute "information" is pretty common in Mexico. With the huge gap in campaign fundraising that is looming here in the US, maybe the Democratic National Committee should look into this - it would probably be a hella-lot funnier than most other comix on the market!

This site has it all. Girls, guns, fighting and bathrooms. Enter Bathroom Girls!

I don't know why but I found this to be absolutely hilarious: Porn for the Blind. And, no, this is NOT at all safe for work visually or aurally.

We can post all the trival little items we want but we all know what is on everybody's mind these days: what the hell is Mike Tyson going to do for a living now that he got his shit-talking ass beaten to a pulp? I think I've found the perfect solution, he could work his way back to fame via the Kaiju Big Battels!! Of course, this could work out badly also. Imagine if he got drubbed by a Silver Potato or even by Dusto Bunny? There are also Space Bugs to worry about, a Cycloptopus and what kind of man would he be if he got his ass kicked by a can of chicken noodle soup? Maybe this isn't such a good idea but I'd love to go take in one of these fights some day, it's got to be a hoot!

Anyone watch Smallville? Well if you like it you can now get Smallville Action figures. I will pass on that, i am excited for their next show; Birds of Prey. Its roughly based on the comic. A crippled Batgirl fights crime with a cast of other female agents, one of which, The Huntress, is Batman and Catwoman's daughter. Here is a link to the four minute promo. Man i am such a geek!

Who let the dogs out? I dont know, but I hope they were punished!

"I'd like to congratulate myself, and thank myself, and give myself a big pat on the back,'' Ramone joked at the time. "Thank you, Dee Dee, you're very wonderful.''

So goes the cynicism that Dee Dee Ramone had upon the induction of The Ramones to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Well, it seems that now Dee Dee is not only "very wonderful", he's also very dead. At least Joey went out fighting to live last year - it seems that Dee Dee rode out of town "on the horse."

I never look in my Yahoo! Bulk Mail folder. I usually just hit the EMPTY link to purge the crap. But just for curiosity's sake, I haven't emptied it in a few days. I'm up to 458 bulk e-mails. Let's see how high it will go . . . Can any of you top that?

How many times have you been perplexed by something written in "l33t haxor" - that geek alphabet which uses alternate characters which simulate the shape of the intended character? Well finally somebody has written a translator for those who just can't seem to wrap their brain around these mutated musings. Unfortunately it only seems to translate INTO l33t and not back out! Frankly, IMHO, this stuff mutated out of the crap that started way back in my BBS days back in the early 80's when some bunch of losers started saying that everything that was good was "k-k00l" (kilo-cool) and so on. It was lame as hell then and it's even more lame now! I never minded people using acronyms in chat, that saves time and makes sense. Back in the day, many were based on Morse Code (ending conversations with "73" or "88") and Ham radio shorthand - but that seems to have gone out of vogue for a new shorthand specifically created for chatroom useage. Frankly, I find most of them pretty annoying...

While I'm on the subject of subterranian dwelling, I read a fantastic article the other day on denizens found living in the levels beneath Moscow - literally a flourishing "sub-culture" if you don't mind the pun. It reminds of one of my favorite novels, "Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman, which deals with an society living under modern day London (although a similar society under Moscow is mentioned in the book.) A great read - as is, well so far, his novel "American Gods" which I just began reading today...and everything else I've read by him.

What coul be cooler than living in an abandoned missile silo? Not much if you ask me! 20th Century Castles has secured the rights to a number of old sites and is offering them for sale - too bad they tend to be well away from civilization - I could seriously get into living in one of these babies! Not to mention that they are just a tad bit out of my price range - but they certainly are a bargain when you consider that they cost a minimum of about $18 million each to build in the 1950's...

What would you look like if you lived in Southpark? The Southpark Character Creator is just the way to find out. Mine didn't come out too bad although I could have used a body a bit more akin to the Cartman size!
