From Hell’s Heart I Stab At Thee
August 7th, 2008Which is why I think it all broke.
Site’s back up, sorry for the outage. Those responsible have been forced to craft. In EQ2. Over dialup.
I Hope There’s Waterboarding
August 6th, 2008I’m actually a little disappointed, having just re-opened my DAoC account a few months ago. I’m sure I could have gone another 3-4 months before losing interest again.
It’s Not Friday, But…
August 6th, 2008This is just too awesome to wait.
Anyone else think Hannah Montana would be a great Secretary of State?
Hi, I’m A Mac. A Naughty, Naughty Mac.

Your Friday Cinema: How To Live A Good Life Edition
August 1st, 2008Set aside an hour and sixteen minutes, and watch this. You’ll be glad you did.
In Other News, Jim Beam To Sponsor “Sober Up Cincinnati!” Event
July 30th, 2008The first time I saw Subway’s promotion to get a foot-long sandwich for $5, I thought it was the most ridiculous thing I’d seen since…well since the last ridiculous thing I’d seen, which I think might have been me trying to convince myself that I still fit into those jeans I used to fit into. Anyway, what made it so ridiculous (the Subway promotion, not the jeans, which needs no explanation) was that the promotion was a celebration of Jared’s weight loss on a Subway-only diet. Just to be clear here: Subway is celebrating weight loss by selling food in bulk. It’s like celebrating the end of a war by rounding up the POW’s and…um…selling them by the foot for $5 each. Gross.
Then I saw this, and I didn’t feel so bad about my jeans. So the Mayor of Oklahoma City challenged residents to lose a bunch of weight. A key sponsor? Taco Bell. I shit you not. And Taco Bell’s reward for residents hitting the 100,000 lbs lost mark? Free goddamned tacos:
On Tuesday, Taco Bell is giving away free fresco crunchy tacos to metro residents as part of a promise. The mayor says it’s been a great partnership.
Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett says, “They got on board really early and we helped them promote those items hoping people would take advantage of it.”
He goes on to say, “They said when you get 100,000 pounds, we have a special prize for everybody in Oklahoma City and sure enough here it is. Everybody in Oklahoma City gets a free fresco taco.”
You get a taco! YOU get a taco! And YOU GET A TACO! EVERYBODY GETS A TACO!!
It’s why I can’t seem to muster teh rage against Fat Princess. At least she doesn’t have to eat Taco Bell.
Coming Up: Margarita-Induced Coma
July 21st, 2008Hey, I’m on vacation all week, so nothing new this week. Have fun!
Inept Asshattery: Relevant To My Interests
July 17th, 2008The short version: PZ Myers, Biologist and angry Atheist, gets angry. Why? Because a student who steals a communion wafer gets death threats from angry Catholics. Student presumably shits pants and returns wafer, prompting Myers to pick up the torch, upping the ante by offering to desecrate a wafer, or—we can only hope—build a 50 foot tall rampaging Jesus Golem.
Terrorist threat level in The Matrix increased to “Whoa.”
Inevitable death threats ensue.
Inept asshat uses wife’s work account to send death threat. Asshat’s wife (who’s all like “wait, wut?”) is promptly fired. Angry Asshat blames everyone except himself.
Baby Jesus weeps and makes a poopie.
Scene.
Coming Up In The Next Issue Of Vanity Fair: McCain Gives “Happy Ending” Massages To Vietnamese Captors
July 15th, 2008This response to the “Obama as terrorist fist-jabber” cartoon doesn’t go quite far enough, but it’s a start. I’m firmly in the “it’s satire–inept and unsophisticated satire to be sure, but hey whatevs–get the fuck over it” camp when it comes to the The New Yorker cover, but I wonder how funny McCain supporters would find a satirical drawing of McCain’s cowardice and treachery or (haha!) collaboration with the enemy.
