ok so i did half of my catch up posting. maybe now i will finish the rest of it. well part of the rest of it. i have a metric assload of stuff to write but for now you get all the random stuff i had put aside to include and share with you. is that light we see? not hardly. maybe i will go until i hit the lj character limit. hey its happened once this year. recently even. and did i use a lj-cut tag? nope. yep. kinda. nevermind.
we are going to start with all the links
allism keeps sending me. every time i fire up trillian i get all of these off line messages from here containing all of these fun but somewhat random links. so now it is your turn...
she sent me the link for the seymour butts - 900 to pass along to my friend mikey but it demands more attention then that. no it is not a porn thing. it is a medical training tool that is "molded from a 74-year-old patient, it looks and feels just like the real thing!" ok it may not be a porn thing but it is still not pretty. and at $300 its not cheap either. i am trying to refrain form making any cheap jokes about the mention of anal fistula but...but...but...it's so out there.
from that we go to a fun little game called smack the pingu. it is one of those very simple time wasting games that on a norml connection takes like five seconds to load. but like 10 minutes on the crap ass one i have. and if you get your little yeti to hit the pinguin further that 325 that makes you better than any of us. i like it when it goes in head first at around 200.
don't let go is another one of those simple quik loading time wasting games. but i fail to see the point of this one. i think this one was sparked by an excess of free time. i found this one fun for about two plays.
she was trying to get me to go play at playsite games where you can "play free online games, win big prizes, and chat with friends." well as it turns out trixie does not deal well with java games a lot of times and the way they had it set up made it so that i could not play any of the games. sucks to be me. but the offer did lead to this entertaining bit...
allism: Why would you want to find it? Come play tangleword.
allism: But you might not like it since you can't spell and can't type...
empallin: blow me bitch
allism: uh no
empallin: i mean you might be right
empallin: i might not like it because i have to register
she sent the link to the end of the internet more for her own sake. i am including it here in case you are one of those five people in the world that hasnt been there. i am however surprised that there are no ads there. i mean isnt the internet all about the ads.
michael's sketchy & sci-fi book covers was a fun little page to look at after it evetually finished loading. a couple of book covers really stood out. one was panda bear passion that just kinda looked wrong. i was actually thinking about turning that one into an icon. the other was for a book called junkie by some guy namedwilliam s burroughs william lee. it is not all book covers though. some of it is movie poster for things like the day the earth stood still (wasnt some ill that day?) and such. a few links are provided for similar sites.
signonsandiego.com › news › metro -- mom accused of locking 7-year-old in car trunk pleads innocent. with this being a news site it might not be there any more but i think the headline tells most of the story. the only real question is why someone would do something like that. why you ask? "powell told police she couldn't find a babysitter and wanted to celebrate her birthday, which was on sunday, the prosecutor said." she actually said that to police. not a smart woman. another sad fact that was mentioned in the article was that it wasnt the first time she had locked him in there. darwin is just waiting on her ass.
the thread located at slashdot poll - favorite bumper sticker? is a heafty read because a certian type of people seem to spend their entire lives at a computer thus they never shut up. but it is still very entertaining. just like your mother. and her girlfriend. nevermind. the one i liked best that i had never seen in other places was a sad fact of this country. "a jury consists of 12 persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer. -- robert frost"
from that thread she sent the link for the landover baptist cafepress store because she seemed to think that i would not read the entire thread. and she was right. any dont be fooled by the fact that it says baptist in the name. yeah the stuff does have all kinds of biblical quotes on it but not the ones you are used to seeing. its all the funny ones that you really have to hunt for. honestly i bet the people who did this were the same ones who went through the dictionary looking up all the bad words. you really need to go look at this one.
the page located at qdb: top 100 quotes is logs pulled from irc. no it doesnt sound very interesting but it is. they do a really good job of keeping the comedy up to par. yeah chat logs that are actually worth reading. kinda like six year old tsg ones. but a lot funnier.
the abuse-a-tron is another of those random text generators that are always fun to play with for about five minutes.
exclusive: tape shows aurora mall wanting to weed out blacks - news site. may not be there. headline pretty much tells the important part. fucktard ass hats they are.
1010 wins - new york's all news station : 9/11 toy recalled - news site. may not be there. headline pretty much tells the important part. if this were not from what i consider to be a trusted source i would automatically call bullshit on it. i want to find another article on it from a different source to kinda double check. what i really want is to find one of those toys. its one of those things that without the proof no one is really going to believe it. as an added bonus at the bottom of the page was a link to an article titled anti-bush moms march across brooklyn bridge. they are all about the dick it would seem. had to go there.
the last of her links is to a site claiming to be the worst website ever. as sad as the fact is it is no where near the worst. even if it does focus on ceral and transformers way too much.
since i am posting other peoples links how about a few i am stealing frommissakins once she gets her makeup out of that tree.
police: drunken man drives home with decapitated friend - news site. may not be there. headline pretty much tells the important part. i actually saw some coverage of this on tv as well. darwin again. the part i like from the article is the last sentence. "brohm, 23, apparently was leaning out of the window when hutcherson hit the support wire about a mile and a half from the bar, but police did not know why." because he was vomiting because his friend was weaving all over the place is what i think.
she posted a link to a post about ljarchive. this is a new little tool that is designed for downloading your entire lj. it says with comments even. i will eventually get around to trying it but it demands that i install all 23 megs of microsofts .net framework. i demand that .net kiss my ass. not its is not perfect but it is the first tool like this that i have seen and one that i have really been waiting on.
the gmail notifier is another useful tool she came across. i cant seem to locate the post about it but i am sure she was the one that posted about it. it is a small tool that sits in your sytem tray and tells you when you have new gmail, who its from, the subject and the start of the content. the icon for it is a litlle goofy but that is small. i havent checked yet but i think this should really be incorporated into the google toolbar.
since we are on the subject this would be a good place to mention the toogle site she linked to. nothing too useful. it coverts your search term into a picture. i just have one question about it. how many *oogle sites does there need to be before its too many? i know its a good search engine and all but come on people.
ok that is enough from her. just recently added her and her man to my friends list and i am alreadyswiping stuff recommending her journal. this is the jumping off point into the river of completely random links and the like. got your floaters on? yeah well i got a floater but i am taking the fifth on that one.
someone somewhere on one of the rhps lists post a link to this cartoon about the making of a shock treatment stage musical. please god no. the movie was bad enough. but still its funny. the cartoon is funny.
so i am trying to find games for the ps2 that i can actually play. not as easy as it sounds with me having shit for hand/eye and that part about being heavily medicated. so i gave sitting ducks a shot. this is based on some cartoon i have never seen and is supposed to be a kids game. well the only thing i can say about it is that it is cute. well i could also say i suck balls at it but that is a different story. im good with driving games and that seems to be about it. well those and that one OMFGWTF game that i had for the sega that i cant remember the name of. some space sidescrollingshootemup. kids game or not it is nice to see that there are now new ps2 games in the $10 range. like i buy games at wally world. like i buy games new.
several years back mtv released a buch of beavis and butt-head games. i used to own all but one of them. well i recently got a copy of bunghole in one from the dollar tree. great. no really. so it got me in the mood to play the other ones. so i start looking for them where they might have been installed or where the backups might be. gone. poof. shit. so i went online and found a page that had links to them but as you would expect all of the links were how do you say dead. i hate it when that happens. i am still on that mission but i doubt it will bare fruit. i did however come across a page related to that for something i have no idea what it is yet. it says beavis and butthead 2001 but that could be so many things. if the dowload works ill get back to you on that.
i was recently sent on a mission to find out what the first movie sequel was. and this is unfortunate information i found on the matter.
cool movie trivia - your answers
what was the first movie sequel ever made? -barry jay
cmt answer: there have been sequels almost as long as there have been movies. feature length films first appeared around 1913, and the first movie often considered the grandfather of all 'modern' movies, in terms of runtime, narrative structure, and the number of now-familiar movie shots it introduced, was 1915's "birth of a nation". and being as this movie has virtually served as a movie template for the last 90-or-so years, it's only fitting that it spawned a sequel- 1916's "fall of a nation".
both movies were controversial - the original was extremely racist; it's hero was a kkk member and all blacks were portrayed as either ignorant, violent, or both. the sequel was basically a propaganda piece for wwi to get americans involved in the war- germany invades and seizes control of america in the movie. this was the earliest true movie sequel i could find noted anywhere- i'm sure there were little one or two reel sequels playing to short films in the coin-operated movie houses, but these were not 'movies' in the terms we think of them nowadays.
as a side note, the first movie sequel to feature a '2' in the title, was the 1957 sci-fi flick "quatermass 2". the sequel to the 1955 genre-fave centered on a scientist who uncovers an alien plot to take over earth.
//smacks head repeatedly.
ok lets continue down the path of shitty movies. i finally found the spoiler for the village. after reading it i am glad i did not go see that movie. i could careless if i know how a movie ends or not and i realize that descibing a movie is not the same as watching it but this one just sounds like pure crap. after sitting through unbreakable i have little desire to see any of his movies.
after watching smokey and the bandit ii on tv i went to imdb to look up some useless thing about it that i dont remeber but never really mattered anyway and went ahead and read the extras bits on it. the part that made me laugh was filed under alternate versions.
extensive overdubbing was required for network tv broadcast, in particular replacing a good percentage of jackie gleason's dialogue with new lines spoken by an actor with a noticably higher voice. the recurring phrase "sum-bitch!" became "scum-bum!" (same as tv prints of the first smokey and the bandit (1977)). even the bloopers at the end needed to be redubbed, with the phrase "your mother's ass" being changed to "your father's face"!
i think i may have to start saying 'you fathers face' as much as possible. but if you ask me one is just as bad as the other. except maybe for the fact that your fathers face has less hair on it.
while looking at stuff on imdb i clicked on the amazon availabilty link once it got me there it said i had searched for...well here. see for yourself.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/external-search/002-8009760-6402409?tag=imdb-adbox&mode=dvd&keyword=b00005bgrp%7cb00005bgrw%7cb00005m0jk%7cb00005m0jm%7cb00005riww%7cb0000633qm%7cb0000633qn%7cb000065pg9%7cb000065pga%7cb000065pgc%7cb0000694vg%7cb0000694vh%7cb00006fdb2%7cb00007l4o6%7cb000083c4a%7cb00008xs2c%7cb0000agwke%7cb0000b1o9m%7cb00018d4l8%7cb00018d4li%7cb00018d4mm%7cb00018d4mw
and it said i might also be interested in relared searches for
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/ref=pd_kk_sr_1/002-8009760-6402409?index=dvd&field-keywords=0792843622|b000059tgh|b000059tgi|b000067dnc|b000069hzq|b000069hzr|b000069hzs|b00007gzra| b00007gzrb|b00007gzrc|b00007gzrd|b00007gzre|b00008pc0w|b00009y3qq|b00009y3r1|b00009y3qr|b00009y3r7|b00009y3r8|b00009x75h|b0000v491u|b00015hvi8|b0002kphwo or maybe i would be interested in
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/ref=pd_kk_sr_2/002-8009760-6402409?index=dvd&field-keywords=6305176132|6305176140|6305176159|6305301700|b00000jqvk|b00000jq9t| b00000jq9u|b00005o5dm|b00005o5dn|b000063k2v|b0000696i4|b00006fdcr|b00008o32j|b00009l4to|b0000cabl2|b0001zwlvu|b00023p4ag|b00023p49c|b00023p49m|b0002erx22. i am pretty sure it is searching by their internal part numbers rather than title but it still looks funny.
amazon is a good site is not a little too big sometimes and i suppose that it is a little hard to manage sometimes but not to long after coming across the above i was looking at books by this guy named henry rollins. the listing for the book black coffee blues said it was by henry cd213 21103 rollins. that looks like a part number got pasted in the wrong place or something. i did the right thing and filled out the form so that they can correct it. so that is what gives me the right to make fun of it. in case you are wondering i own that book and it is a good read.
this little problem actually came up on neil gaimans blog as well. someone wrote him to mention the untitled collection of his amazon.ca has listed. it says it will be coming out december 31, 2024. in reality haper collins probably sumbited it as part of a large list of things and this one didnt get removed. it does have an isbn number reserved for it. who knows. they also list a untitled novel that came out in 1969.
all of this has me thinking that i may do one of there lists that has all of these mistakes. i could just do one on untitled works. when you are on the site sometime do a search for untited "not yet published" and see how many results you get. i can tell you it is in the thousands. i wonder if i actually have a amazon.ca account. i know i have a wish lists on amazon.co.uk and amazon.de. round round i get around.
most of you know that i have this other blog that i use just for poetry and that i kind of expect people to make fun of it. i normlly wouldnt do this but there is one that is more pathetic than mine. it does seem like the person who wrote these poems is on the young side but someone really needs to tell her to find a better outlet. or something. for her own sake.
i also have another journal. a new one even. it is going to be used basically for game stuff and pictures. great combination i know. its not like i am paying for it. the only problem is trying to figure out a way to make semagic run two copies at once with one connecting here and one there. there has to be a way. and ill make it happen dammit.
missjanette did a post about pictures and slides that reminded me to look for special scanners. i found this one place that has a good selection of film & slide scanners that i only with i could afford. but then i turn around and find a sight about making a backlighter which would work as a cheap alternative if i can actually get it too work. just have to invert the colors on film scans.
since pictures take up so much ink when you print them on you computer (which it is not so easy getting the computer to go through the printer) it is nice to know that there is a place that will give you a free inkjet cartridge. too bad they dont actually give it to you and that its not actually free. the fine print is that you send them three cartridges then they refill one and send it back to you. as long as its one that they normally sell. like i said it is not free. but the price of postage for three cartridges versus the cost of a new cartridge is enough of a difference to make it worth it.
while messing with pictures it would not hurt at all to have some extra photoshop brushes. that site also has several other types of related goodies. someday ill get around to downloading all that there is there. that reminds me i have to get some more fonts. 1500 just doesnt seem like near enough. yes as a matter of fact i do need that many. what i really need is palatino for the pc. doubt that is ever going to happen.
in a previous post i said i was going to try to log into my mp3.com account and see what happened. well it didnt. the new version is basically straight compitition for the new and removed napster. basically it is not the same thing and it now officially sucks. the only good thing i found was the technology guide. even that is so-so at best.
went to the oklahoma firefighter museum the other day. a tourist trap if there ever was one. at $4.00 per person it is kind of a rip-off. good thing we got in with out having to pay. it is an interesting place just very small for the money you pay. you dont even get to play with the hoses. iwent there once before when i was in grade school. i dont think the place has changed in that x amount of years.
someone posted an article in
conspiracy101 about stealth microwave towers & the 2004 presidential election. sure it sounds like bullshit but there was this part that really got me..."consider this quote by a pioneer in electromagnetic mind control: "man does not have the right to develop his own mind. this kind of liberal orientation has great appeal. we must electrically control the brain. some day armies and generals will be controlled by electric stimulation of the brain." - dr. jose delgado -1974 congressional record, no. 262e, vol. 118." i am still trying to locate that congressionl record but so far as i can find it does seem to be a real quote from a real whack job.
the above article also metions a company called stealth concealment solutions that makes these devices. i need to explore their site and try and figure out if they are using some kind of mind controlled zombie labor.
ok this is a bunch of news articles that caught my attention. same rules apply as those mentioned further up in this mess.
stones 'follow' woman - if this were to really happen people would shit. i mean could you imagine keith being able to keep the concentration up to follow someone? sorry. wrong kind of stones.
military helicopters to patrol u.s.-canadian border - because you know those canadians are just so eager to get into the us. could be a preperation to catch draft dodgers could it? you know just in case.
sen. kennedy lands on 'no fly' list (washington dc) - if there were ever a threat to this country the kennedys would definately fall on that list. "noting it had taken him weeks to resolve the matter, kennedy wondered aloud how difficult it might be for ordinary americans to have their names removed if they were also mistakenly placed on the watch list." how difficult? thats easy. 'ordinary americans' would never be able to get their names removed.
police investigate sex play (germany) - this headline is so misleading. it is not sex play. it is a play about sex. with animals even. yeah for crazy europian sex.
judge accused of masturbating resigns (oklahoma) - "a former state representative and a judge for 22 years, thompson was accused by state attorney general drew edmondson of using a "penis pump" to enhance erections during trials and exposing himself to a court reporter several times while masturbating on the bench." he was just pumping it for information. i figured since we have talked so much about you mother it would only be fair to mention you dad. the killer in this whole thing is not that some of the trials were murder trials but that because he resigned he gets to have all of his benifits. that is the sick part.
just to get them out of the way these are the current windows i have open and why...
spiketv.com | prosocial sweepstakes - i was trying to find mxc stuff and fingered i would enter the contest but this one is part of their mens health campaign. not bad coming from a station owned by mtv networks.
unofficial mxc fansite - this is where the good mxc stuff is. nope not on the offial site.
osama bin laden a 'narco-terrorist' - an article covering the government trying to combine the war on terror with the war on drugs. where is a war on bullshit when you need one? as an aside this is on a pro opiates website. gotta check that shit out.
usatoday.com - u.s., pakistani officials deny report of bin laden capture - linked and discussed inconspiracy101 . because the bush adminisration would never delay releasing that until right before the election. oh no. never.
shape shifter, brought to you by gamehouse - a silly little game mikey wanted me to take a look at. ok i did that now what?
spamusement! - "poorly-drawn cartoons inspired by actual spam subject lines!" link swiped fromrichmackin
amazon.com: electronics: sony rechargeable ni-mh aaa batteries - 2 pack - because i am on a quest to find cheaper rechargeables. $8.69 plus postage does not yet cross that line.
rayovac rechargeable aa batteries, 4-pack - $8.97 for 4 batteries is a better price. except i am really looking for aaa. wally world loses again.
neopets - send a neo greeting! - first because someone who shall remain nameless (but whose userid starts withslytheran) twisted my arm and made me sign up and i have been playing all the stupid little games. i have pets but i ignore them. second because this page is of pirate greeting and i am going to post it to ninjasvspirates
buncha damn freaks - because i was reading my friends page and it got refreshed a couple of times but never got closed.
this just in - eckerd is becoming cvs. there are going to be cvssss here. like i pay for my drugs or something. ill tell a funny story on that one some other time.
right now i have to go and resart the system because it has gone all assy. hopefully there is enough to read hear until i get around to doing the rest of this crap. maybe a quickie post shortly after this.
we are going to start with all the links
allism keeps sending me. every time i fire up trillian i get all of these off line messages from here containing all of these fun but somewhat random links. so now it is your turn...she sent me the link for the seymour butts - 900 to pass along to my friend mikey but it demands more attention then that. no it is not a porn thing. it is a medical training tool that is "molded from a 74-year-old patient, it looks and feels just like the real thing!" ok it may not be a porn thing but it is still not pretty. and at $300 its not cheap either. i am trying to refrain form making any cheap jokes about the mention of anal fistula but...but...but...it's so out there.
from that we go to a fun little game called smack the pingu. it is one of those very simple time wasting games that on a norml connection takes like five seconds to load. but like 10 minutes on the crap ass one i have. and if you get your little yeti to hit the pinguin further that 325 that makes you better than any of us. i like it when it goes in head first at around 200.
don't let go is another one of those simple quik loading time wasting games. but i fail to see the point of this one. i think this one was sparked by an excess of free time. i found this one fun for about two plays.

so i am trying to find games for the ps2 that i can actually play. not as easy as it sounds with me having shit for hand/eye and that part about being heavily medicated. so i gave sitting ducks a shot. this is based on some cartoon i have never seen and is supposed to be a kids game. well the only thing i can say about it is that it is cute. well i could also say i suck balls at it but that is a different story. im good with driving games and that seems to be about it. well those and that one OMFGWTF game that i had for the sega that i cant remember the name of. some space sidescrollingshootemup. kids game or not it is nice to see that there are now new ps2 games in the $10 range. like i buy games at wally world. like i buy games new.
several years back mtv released a buch of beavis and butt-head games. i used to own all but one of them. well i recently got a copy of bunghole in one from the dollar tree. great. no really. so it got me in the mood to play the other ones. so i start looking for them where they might have been installed or where the backups might be. gone. poof. shit. so i went online and found a page that had links to them but as you would expect all of the links were how do you say dead. i hate it when that happens. i am still on that mission but i doubt it will bare fruit. i did however come across a page related to that for something i have no idea what it is yet. it says beavis and butthead 2001 but that could be so many things. if the dowload works ill get back to you on that.
i was recently sent on a mission to find out what the first movie sequel was. and this is unfortunate information i found on the matter.
cool movie trivia - your answers
what was the first movie sequel ever made? -barry jay
cmt answer: there have been sequels almost as long as there have been movies. feature length films first appeared around 1913, and the first movie often considered the grandfather of all 'modern' movies, in terms of runtime, narrative structure, and the number of now-familiar movie shots it introduced, was 1915's "birth of a nation". and being as this movie has virtually served as a movie template for the last 90-or-so years, it's only fitting that it spawned a sequel- 1916's "fall of a nation".
both movies were controversial - the original was extremely racist; it's hero was a kkk member and all blacks were portrayed as either ignorant, violent, or both. the sequel was basically a propaganda piece for wwi to get americans involved in the war- germany invades and seizes control of america in the movie. this was the earliest true movie sequel i could find noted anywhere- i'm sure there were little one or two reel sequels playing to short films in the coin-operated movie houses, but these were not 'movies' in the terms we think of them nowadays.
as a side note, the first movie sequel to feature a '2' in the title, was the 1957 sci-fi flick "quatermass 2". the sequel to the 1955 genre-fave centered on a scientist who uncovers an alien plot to take over earth.
//smacks head repeatedly.
ok lets continue down the path of shitty movies. i finally found the spoiler for the village. after reading it i am glad i did not go see that movie. i could careless if i know how a movie ends or not and i realize that descibing a movie is not the same as watching it but this one just sounds like pure crap. after sitting through unbreakable i have little desire to see any of his movies.
after watching smokey and the bandit ii on tv i went to imdb to look up some useless thing about it that i dont remeber but never really mattered anyway and went ahead and read the extras bits on it. the part that made me laugh was filed under alternate versions.
extensive overdubbing was required for network tv broadcast, in particular replacing a good percentage of jackie gleason's dialogue with new lines spoken by an actor with a noticably higher voice. the recurring phrase "sum-bitch!" became "scum-bum!" (same as tv prints of the first smokey and the bandit (1977)). even the bloopers at the end needed to be redubbed, with the phrase "your mother's ass" being changed to "your father's face"!
i think i may have to start saying 'you fathers face' as much as possible. but if you ask me one is just as bad as the other. except maybe for the fact that your fathers face has less hair on it.
while looking at stuff on imdb i clicked on the amazon availabilty link once it got me there it said i had searched for...well here. see for yourself.

amazon is a good site is not a little too big sometimes and i suppose that it is a little hard to manage sometimes but not to long after coming across the above i was looking at books by this guy named henry rollins. the listing for the book black coffee blues said it was by henry cd213 21103 rollins. that looks like a part number got pasted in the wrong place or something. i did the right thing and filled out the form so that they can correct it. so that is what gives me the right to make fun of it. in case you are wondering i own that book and it is a good read.
this little problem actually came up on neil gaimans blog as well. someone wrote him to mention the untitled collection of his amazon.ca has listed. it says it will be coming out december 31, 2024. in reality haper collins probably sumbited it as part of a large list of things and this one didnt get removed. it does have an isbn number reserved for it. who knows. they also list a untitled novel that came out in 1969.
all of this has me thinking that i may do one of there lists that has all of these mistakes. i could just do one on untitled works. when you are on the site sometime do a search for untited "not yet published" and see how many results you get. i can tell you it is in the thousands. i wonder if i actually have a amazon.ca account. i know i have a wish lists on amazon.co.uk and amazon.de. round round i get around.
most of you know that i have this other blog that i use just for poetry and that i kind of expect people to make fun of it. i normlly wouldnt do this but there is one that is more pathetic than mine. it does seem like the person who wrote these poems is on the young side but someone really needs to tell her to find a better outlet. or something. for her own sake.
i also have another journal. a new one even. it is going to be used basically for game stuff and pictures. great combination i know. its not like i am paying for it. the only problem is trying to figure out a way to make semagic run two copies at once with one connecting here and one there. there has to be a way. and ill make it happen dammit.
missjanette did a post about pictures and slides that reminded me to look for special scanners. i found this one place that has a good selection of film & slide scanners that i only with i could afford. but then i turn around and find a sight about making a backlighter which would work as a cheap alternative if i can actually get it too work. just have to invert the colors on film scans.since pictures take up so much ink when you print them on you computer (which it is not so easy getting the computer to go through the printer) it is nice to know that there is a place that will give you a free inkjet cartridge. too bad they dont actually give it to you and that its not actually free. the fine print is that you send them three cartridges then they refill one and send it back to you. as long as its one that they normally sell. like i said it is not free. but the price of postage for three cartridges versus the cost of a new cartridge is enough of a difference to make it worth it.
while messing with pictures it would not hurt at all to have some extra photoshop brushes. that site also has several other types of related goodies. someday ill get around to downloading all that there is there. that reminds me i have to get some more fonts. 1500 just doesnt seem like near enough. yes as a matter of fact i do need that many. what i really need is palatino for the pc. doubt that is ever going to happen.
in a previous post i said i was going to try to log into my mp3.com account and see what happened. well it didnt. the new version is basically straight compitition for the new and removed napster. basically it is not the same thing and it now officially sucks. the only good thing i found was the technology guide. even that is so-so at best.
went to the oklahoma firefighter museum the other day. a tourist trap if there ever was one. at $4.00 per person it is kind of a rip-off. good thing we got in with out having to pay. it is an interesting place just very small for the money you pay. you dont even get to play with the hoses. iwent there once before when i was in grade school. i dont think the place has changed in that x amount of years.
someone posted an article in
conspiracy101 about stealth microwave towers & the 2004 presidential election. sure it sounds like bullshit but there was this part that really got me..."consider this quote by a pioneer in electromagnetic mind control: "man does not have the right to develop his own mind. this kind of liberal orientation has great appeal. we must electrically control the brain. some day armies and generals will be controlled by electric stimulation of the brain." - dr. jose delgado -1974 congressional record, no. 262e, vol. 118." i am still trying to locate that congressionl record but so far as i can find it does seem to be a real quote from a real whack job.the above article also metions a company called stealth concealment solutions that makes these devices. i need to explore their site and try and figure out if they are using some kind of mind controlled zombie labor.
ok this is a bunch of news articles that caught my attention. same rules apply as those mentioned further up in this mess.
stones 'follow' woman - if this were to really happen people would shit. i mean could you imagine keith being able to keep the concentration up to follow someone? sorry. wrong kind of stones.
military helicopters to patrol u.s.-canadian border - because you know those canadians are just so eager to get into the us. could be a preperation to catch draft dodgers could it? you know just in case.
sen. kennedy lands on 'no fly' list (washington dc) - if there were ever a threat to this country the kennedys would definately fall on that list. "noting it had taken him weeks to resolve the matter, kennedy wondered aloud how difficult it might be for ordinary americans to have their names removed if they were also mistakenly placed on the watch list." how difficult? thats easy. 'ordinary americans' would never be able to get their names removed.
police investigate sex play (germany) - this headline is so misleading. it is not sex play. it is a play about sex. with animals even. yeah for crazy europian sex.
judge accused of masturbating resigns (oklahoma) - "a former state representative and a judge for 22 years, thompson was accused by state attorney general drew edmondson of using a "penis pump" to enhance erections during trials and exposing himself to a court reporter several times while masturbating on the bench." he was just pumping it for information. i figured since we have talked so much about you mother it would only be fair to mention you dad. the killer in this whole thing is not that some of the trials were murder trials but that because he resigned he gets to have all of his benifits. that is the sick part.
just to get them out of the way these are the current windows i have open and why...
spiketv.com | prosocial sweepstakes - i was trying to find mxc stuff and fingered i would enter the contest but this one is part of their mens health campaign. not bad coming from a station owned by mtv networks.
unofficial mxc fansite - this is where the good mxc stuff is. nope not on the offial site.
osama bin laden a 'narco-terrorist' - an article covering the government trying to combine the war on terror with the war on drugs. where is a war on bullshit when you need one? as an aside this is on a pro opiates website. gotta check that shit out.
usatoday.com - u.s., pakistani officials deny report of bin laden capture - linked and discussed in
conspiracy101 . because the bush adminisration would never delay releasing that until right before the election. oh no. never.shape shifter, brought to you by gamehouse - a silly little game mikey wanted me to take a look at. ok i did that now what?
spamusement! - "poorly-drawn cartoons inspired by actual spam subject lines!" link swiped from
richmackin amazon.com: electronics: sony rechargeable ni-mh aaa batteries - 2 pack - because i am on a quest to find cheaper rechargeables. $8.69 plus postage does not yet cross that line.
rayovac rechargeable aa batteries, 4-pack - $8.97 for 4 batteries is a better price. except i am really looking for aaa. wally world loses again.
neopets - send a neo greeting! - first because someone who shall remain nameless (but whose userid starts with
slytheran) twisted my arm and made me sign up and i have been playing all the stupid little games. i have pets but i ignore them. second because this page is of pirate greeting and i am going to post it to ninjasvspiratesbuncha damn freaks - because i was reading my friends page and it got refreshed a couple of times but never got closed.
this just in - eckerd is becoming cvs. there are going to be cvssss here. like i pay for my drugs or something. ill tell a funny story on that one some other time.
right now i have to go and resart the system because it has gone all assy. hopefully there is enough to read hear until i get around to doing the rest of this crap. maybe a quickie post shortly after this.
