Until now I had no idea how slow posting on a blog via my cell phone was. Wow, pretty slow. It reminds me of the days of 300 baud modems. Anyway, I’ll be boarding in about an hour and then it’s off to Hawaii for a few days. I didn’t pack my lappy so I’ll probably be a little quiet here. Have a great week!
A few years back the self-proclaimed “Sausage King” was convicted of murdering three meat inspectors and was tossed into San Quentin. He was found dead this morning in his jail cell. I guess it’s true that meat is murder. And suicide apparently.
I can’t say that I knew him but he appeared in many films that I saw over the years so I feel as if he’s a part of the family. Sort of like how your Great Aunt Fizzlebottom’s “friend” Martha is a part of the family. Familiar yet unapproachable because of things that must not be said.
One of my favorite characters that he played was Mr. Vargas, the teacher in Fast Times at Ridgemont High that started the movie by announcing that he’d switched to Sanka. At the end of the movie he switched back to regular coffee. He was also in another movie that I own, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai across the 8th Dimension, playing the part of John O’ Connor. I loved it when he was drinking electricity from a battery, through a straw. He was also in Kidco with that annoying kid, the same one from The Toy and A Christmas Story.
Anyway, he’ll be missed. I thought he was a great character actor and spooky-looking people like him are hard to find. I’ll have a cup of Sanka for you Vincent.
I hope everyone had a happy christmas. Those that are celebrating chanukah, I hope you have a good time. I received a Griffin iMic usb sound card so I plan on having fun with that. Got some other things as well. Had the opportunity to hang out with various people over various days which is what I really like about the holiday, all that other stuff is just tedious to me.
Leaving for vacation on Wednesday but I’m taking the lappy with me, I haven’t taken the camera out lately and I’m itchin’ to take some shots. I get back into town on the 6th and then I have some surgery scheduled after that.
Some interesting things I came across:
1. Apparently reindeer are tasty.
2. Retailers are a bunch of babies.
3. Buck Henry was a wise man.

I’ve moved up to the second position on google for ‘ultimate panty remover.’ I’m not sure how to seize the number one spot for ‘ultimate panty remover.’ I’m sure it’s got something to do with backlinking and I don’t think anyone has linked to me as the ultimate panty remover. I don’t even know why I want the number one position for ultimate panty remover. Aren’t people strange? Ultimate panty remover. Seriously though, ultimate panty remover.
Did anyone watch SNL this weekend? I haven’t seen the show very frequently over the past few years because when NBC left KRON on channel four I was left in the cold. You see, I don’t have cable. I don’t believe in paying for garbage. Anyway, after getting a new television the stupid channel came in clear as a whistle. Ah, mixed metaphors. So I was watching SNL and this HILARIOUS freakin’ video came on. “The Chronic-What-Cles of Narnia.” Jeebus, they were stuffing their faces with cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery and rapping about nerdy shit. Totally cool. BoingBoing has more information about that here and there’s also a download link to the video. Watch it.
Also, the frickin’ spelling bee bit had me laughing so hard I was crying and throwing myself on the ground for a solid two minutes. Man, I don’t remember SNL being that funny in a long time. I’m a fan all over again.
Damn, it’s been raining *all* weekend in San Francisco. Not just a light drizzle mind you, full on pounding rain. Right now it actually is just drizzling though. North Beach is flooded. Downtown is having flooding problems as well. Did you know that downtown is just slightly above sea level? Yup, our drainage system can’t handle heavy rain so all the water goes into the basements of businesses. The place where I used to work flooded a couple of times due to heavy rain. Man, it sucked. In addition to regular basement stuff like office supplies and piles of crap that nobody knows what to do with they also had the server room down there. And a color copying machine. And two large-format printers and a large-format scanner. I can’t imagine what’s happening there right now what with the rain falling all weekend and nobody around to turn on the faulty sump-pump in the back. As the manager of the facilities I was regularly wading through standing water to get at the damn pump. I discovered that large garbage can liners and rubberbands make excellent hip waders. Not too attractive, but effective.
Made you look. Seriously though, I was going through my logs and someone came onto my site after google searching for ultimate panty remover. Now I’m wondering if my site will move up the list on google for ultimate panty remover since I’ve used the phrase ultimate panty remover four times now.
Being on the bottom of the first google results page for ultimate panty remover is pretty good I guess but I want to be the first spot for ultimate panty remover. The number one spot for ultimate panty remover is something about absinthe but I think it should be my site. Don’t you? Ultimate panty remover.
I cannot believe that the idiot that is the Governor of California denied clemency to Stanley “Tookie” Williams. I guess political suicide is in vogue right now because California is going to kick him out on his can’t-even-pronounce-the-name-of-the-state ass. Tookie was executed last night but the thing I find disturbing is that there was no mention of it on the front page of google’s news site. I found articles after doing a search but the front page is blank. I guess nobody wants to admit what fucking barbarians we are. Maybe it’s already old news and I missed the boat, ten hours can be an awful long time when we’re talking news and there are more important things to get the latest on, like how EmptyVee and Microshaft are going to offer yet another fucking music download service. Glad that one was on the front page!
Why do we still have the death penalty? When has the threat of death ever stopped a crime? Some say that executing a prisoner brings closure to the family. Bull. Shit. What a lame excuse to try to push on us. There’s no fucking closure for anyone. An eye for an eye some claim. Like the fucking bible is some sort of guide to living. People that quote the bible so that their actions are justified tend to pick and choose certain things and pretend the other stuff doesn’t exist. The incest. The murder. The drunken carousing. Fuck you and your bible, it was written by mysoginistic men. Bring me a book actually penned by a god and maybe I’ll be a little more interested. The fact is that this nation is a bunch of so-called christian savages who get a hardon thinking about putting a man to death.
Tookie was a shining example of rehabilitation but the fucking terminator decided that he had to die anyway. Look, when someone kills another person we punish them by killing them. What makes us different than a common murderer? Nothing. We’re a nation of murderers who sleep easy at night because we know that we’ll be in church on Sunday morning where God loves us. We sit and listen to some idiot that claims he is sent by God and then after the service we stand around and yank on each others dicks and talk about what wonderful people we are and then we go home and covet the neighbors wife and try to think of ways to steal cable.
I can think of a few elected (hah!) officials that hide behind the cloak of God. Maybe some of them hang out in a big white mansion when they’re not taking a vacation, organizing the killing of thousands of people is tiring after all. These evil bastards smile their political grimace-smiles and make sure that the cameras are rolling as they stroll into church. After they are done they send American citizens overseas to countries like Iraq and where they blow the shit out of innocent people and get the shit blown out of them. But that’s okay, God sanctions those murders. Murder in the name of God is fine, especially if you’re white and not a muslim.
God Bless America! I hope you all choke to death on your pretzels.
