2008jul22. Currently kicking myself for not thinking of Cake Wrecks. The writing is swell, the cakes suck; win-win. Yeah, I used a semi-colon. I went there. You want a piece of me, shrimp scampi? Didn’t think so. ;;;;;

2008jul22. Mail.

Kind of happy to oblige.

They have tiny names, in Istanbul.

And you sent your email address! How thoughtful. I have passed this information along to a number of third-party vendors who can help you with your problematically small penis.

J ain’t got nothing on the Easter Bunny, who blew me in an alley once. I mean, I think it was the Easter Bunny ...

Yay. The mail that wears me down is here. Yip.

All gone.

2008jul14. Cities for Living.

2008jun26. Shredding the Constitution: cheap date. Nancy got $24500. We couldn’t come up with $25000+ for Nancy and the rest of the whores? Where did the telecoms get the money to pay off the dems? They probably just took it out of the $200 BILLION they stole from us. We paid them to pay off the dems to finish shredding that dumb ole’ piece of paper. Statement from Ron Paul. Ex post facto, ex post facto ex fucking post fucking facto.

2008jun24. Deuce of Clubs: Riding the public.

2008jun23. Mission Pie. Noted for the phrase “With pie as our ally ... “

Arrrrrr Matey, let’s sail the seven seas of Hexachlorophene! “Nevertheless, hexachlorophene soap is not available over the counter today, because once a product has been withdrawn by the FDA it is virtually impossible for it to be reinstated, even after invalidation of the reasons for its removal.” Every day I find a reason to luv my guvmint, even when I’m not looking. “SOAKS CHILDREN CLEAN AUTOMATICALLY”

2008jun16. EU considers second vote on new sports arena

2008jun15. Greening the desert, a short video. This additional interview with Geoff Lawton explains what happens when the government (Iraqi, in this case) disappears: nothing.

” ... There was no government, there was no customs and there was no department of any government left in place whatsoever. There was no law, really. [ ... ] everything was functioning fine. There was fresh food everywhere, there was plenty of food. Most services were working. Water and electricity and telephones went off at times, but most of the time were up and running.”

2008jun14. Democracy Now: Citing Iraq War, Renowned Attorney Vincent Bugliosi Seeks The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder.

I may be sounding presumptuous to you right now, Amy and Juan, but I’m telling you this: I am going after George Bush. I may not succeed, but I’m not going to be satisfied until I see him in an American courtroom being prosecuted for first-degree murder.

2008jun12. I was going to Ocean Beach today but five girlteens blocked the way. They were on the steps that descended into sand. The beach. They had all stopped there for some reason. I was behind them, waiting. Some of the girlteens were wearing backward baseball caps. One girlteen spoke for the rest: “I ain’t steppin’ in that shit!” And this was the problem. The problem was the sand. They had to step in that shit to get to their friends, who were on the beach, smoking marijuana. Would they? Would they step in the shit? After several seconds of quiet consideration, the quandary was resolved. They stepped in the shit. They were able to join their friends smoking marijuana.

2008jun10. The 35 articles of impeachment introduced by Dennis Kucinich yesterday. Not covered by NYT FOX CBS ABC CBS CNN etc mmm big MSM luv you bet

2008jun03. The Nearly Unfathomable Depths Of Pentagon Corruption. Long article. Plenty of butter when the idiots go to war. Print more money.

The item was a small appliance, a toaster. It should have cost under $20 dollars on the open market, but Halliburton had charged almost $2,000 for each one. And it was a big number of them in the order so Halliburton had netted about $1.2 million from picking them up cheap at a discount appliance warehouse. They had not even made the item. It was worse than that. They had ‘fenced’ the items--they were stolen. They had no bill of sale for them and did not even order the parts they went into the manufacturing of them. They had raided the discount appliance warehouse pretending that they were FBI officials and the toasters had to be picked up because “they caused house fires".

Just like Halliburton over billed, some Halliburton employees were collecting three US govt. salaries; one from the Pentagon, one from the FBI, and one from the CIA.

2008jun01. Eat the Rich, Phase IV: The Rich Get Imperceptibly Closer To Us And They Don’t Wike It. I can almost taste those succulent meaty thighs right now.

2008may30. What I like about Unbeatable Banzuke is the humility. In American reality shows, there’s always a winner, and we have to sit and listen to immature idiots trash-talk and pre-preen. With Unbeatable Banzuke, pretty much everyone wipes out on various obstacle courses (stilts, skateboard, pushing your spouse around in a cat-shaped wheelbarrow, etc), and if someone does succeed, they re-jigger the course so invariably even the previous winner (and in the case of stilts, a Guinness world record holder) can’t complete it. Plus, strutting is almost non-existent. One more nice thing: the age range. So far I’ve seen people from 14 years of age to 68, and I’m sure it expands out farther than that. The shitty thing: apparently Very Smart Marketers have determined that the Unbeatable Banzuke demographic consists of drooling tools who are easy pushovers for stupid “work at home"-type sca – oh, hold on, a talking fox is telling me how to flip houses in my spare time.

2008may30. Clublife: Stop. The man is pushed too far. I have this problem with oncoming traffic making a left turn in front of me while I’m putting along. In the past, I would reflexively slow down to give the driver ample room to complete the turn. Now, I reflexively check the rearview mirror. If there’s no one behind me, this indicates to me that the driver is an can’t-wait-five-seconds-asshole, and I can proceed at speed to find out if he or she has successfully threaded the needle. I am starting to understand some of the fringe benefits of being older.

2008may30. Frida.

Japanese capsule vending machines. I bought a capsule in a sleepy mid-Japan town while I was sweating bricks at a Japanese grocery store – I had forgotten the combination to a borrowed bike lock guarding my borrowed bike. It was a giant bug but it was not in a can. The capsule, not the bike, though that was also not in a can. So I sat around for ten minutes making semi-educated guesses until I remembered it. And that’s ... [claps hands] my Japanese capsule story!

Occasionally someone posts a photo to my sup-r-rad Flickr Fake Products: Mutant Knock-Offs Pool Thing that really goes for the gusto. “I don’t know his name, but his face rings twenty bells, at least.” Also enjoyable: lovely rat.
Flash of insight. The out-of-place board confuses the man for a second.
The NYT covers miracle fruit. Good, now the price will come down. Included in the article a pointer to the recently published book Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce, and Obsession which has to be awesome. How can you screw something like that up? It’s like pancakes. I guess you could burn pancakes, but what’s more important than watching pancakes being created? Sex. If you have a randy line cook, you might want to skip the stack. A comment in this rundown of a miracle fruit tasting party indicates that miracle fruit plants have been found in the Houston area for $35 last year.

2008may23. As some Greek cat once said, the unexamined life is not worth living. So I’ve been looking at myself for ten minutes here and I’ve come the conclusion that fleshtone is one of the most unappealing color shades there is. Hand me a Pantone fan and ask me to pick a color or two to paint a room, my car, or a hopechest – flesh is going to be one of my last choices ever. There should be easy ways to change our skin color, add racing stripes, etc. I’m going to get some colloidal silver and make a difference.

2008may21. Awesome: Geohashing.

2008may20. Yes my friends, yes. The Mojave Phone Booth is now on Twitter: MojaveFoneBooth. My theory is that the more people pile on, the faster the book gets done. It’s like a book pressure flash mob. Join already. Or “follow,” whatever it is. And etc.

2008may20. How Many Fifth Graders Can You Take On: An Empirical Study. See original forum post (five-year-olds) which also begat this.

2008may19. Radar: The Last Round-Up. Longish article on Main Core, “rapid development of new programs,” American concentration camps, etc. So you’re in KBR Motel and you suddenly realize: “Hey, my tax dollars paid for this place! Kicky.” It’s going to be an exciting time for sure. Do ya do the false flag, then the dollar collapses, or vice-versa, or is the collapse by itself coming soon enough? Decisions, decisions. Macro: I’m sure Obama will fix all of this.
