millions of square miles of wildlife from being plowed."

The life of Jim
Here is an actual conversation I had earlier this week with a coworker, with my thoughts in italics.
her: You know, you look good with glasses on.
me:Yes!
me: Thanks.
her: Glasses really help some people. It distracts you from other features.
me: Dammit!
me: So what do my glasses distract you from?
her: Oh, it doesn't apply to you. I meant other people.
me: ....

Screw the FCC. Get rid of Bush.
I will limit my anger about all this because it was pointed out that:
Studies in men revealed that men who are generally hostile or often openly angry may have as much as a 30
percent greater risk of developing irregular heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation is a risk factor for stroke.

Fuckwad
Perhaps the only other reference to a fuckwad i've ever seen.

Great. A three year old child is a better musician than me.

Screw the FCC.

Don't click here.

Crazy.
Scientology has such insane beliefs, and yet all sorts of big movie stars fall for them.

Foxtrot.

Random page about different alcohols: Here.
Guinness:
"In 1759 Arthur Guinness, rather speculatively, took over a deserted brewery at Dublin’s St James’s Gate, moreover he leased it for 9,000 years at a rent of £45 per annum – obviously intending on staying awhile."
Absinthe:
"Hemmingway, whose writing perhaps sums up best the devil-may-care bravura that regular drinking encouraged, "Got tight last night on absinthe. Did knife tricks."
Belgian beer:
"The Romans were the first to notice how much more potent Belgian beers were - perhaps they were the first beer tourists!"
Russians like their vodka too much:
"In fact they love it so much that about 45% of the male population is alcoholic."
"So, if you want to drink like a Russian how should you go about it? The simple answer would be to consume everything you can get your hands on, and then some"
I haven't found anything about 15 in 15 yet.

Return of Ganondorf
Fairly dumb, but the "reenactment" part made me laugh.
Text to speech in a variety of languages.

My computer was all screwed up this morning, so here are a bunch of links to make up for lost surfing time:

Video games are good for you.
Mood adjustment. Someone sounds bitter: "Use the coffee pot to get you ready for a full day of productivity, while you slowly but surely ship your own job to Bangalore, India."
And finally, dogging.

World War II Dr. Seuss political cartoons.

The odds of God existing.
As if this isn't odd enough, you can bet on when the Second Coming will happen.

If you get bored, try making an Enterprise with floppy disks.

Drunk elephants. Sad.

Kevin! This contest was made for you!

60s military terminology. I wonder what was so bad about beans and ham?

Worst cities for asthma.
The triad is 28, the triangle is 49. I guess I should move.

Khaaaaaaan!

Underground complex for sale. Supervillains apply within.

Federal Vampire and Zombie Agency!

Brock Lesnar was Goldberg with promises added. That is the perfect description. And this quote was really, really funny to me:
"Ass will, in the ring, ass itself. THEN our asses will know what's assed."

News 14 fake cancellations!
With the added benefit of a Stacey Horst image!
The info on how it was done.

Not the best quiz, but neat anyway.
Which Donnie Darko character are you?
I'm Frank the bunny.
Donnie: Why do you wear that stupid bunny suit?
Frank: Why do you wear that stupid man suit?

NC troopers probably wouldn't need help with this guy.

Menudo!

The Kamchatka are coming.

I have this same reaction at work.

Sweet.
Powered exoskeletons rock!

Hmm. I've got one already, but if anybody needs an old man gut, this is your chance.

Another random agoraphobic quote, this time from Alan Moore:
"I very seldom even leave this end of the living room. The other end of the living room is a
foreign place where they do things differently, and where I feel a bit nervous."
I'm not sure why, but it just made me laugh to hear a Rob Zombie lookalike say that.

Japanese tv is weird.

What?
How? Seriously, that can happen? How would you not mention that to the doctor immediately?

Ha.

Verifiedvoting.org
NC senators and representatives.
This editorial spouts off a lot of scary stuff. It's worth
reading just to see how many documented screwups there have been with electronic voting,
and the asinine responses from the government and the companies at fault.

Money for sale.
Or, if you want to get new money for old money, go here.
If you need help counting your money, get one of these.

True paranoia:
"Every time I leave my house, I do not presume that I will ever return there.

That isn't an automatic thing that just follows logically for me. The dense matrix of lethality presented by virtually any region outside of the home should give a brave man pause, but I see people out all the time getting pot stickers or running with their dogs. Fuck leaving the house, the moment you board an airplane your termination index goes through the roof. Eating food from street vendors - while not directly comparable to the presumptive festival of hubris that is human flight - certainly ranks above running with the bulls in Spain or wearing a spider as decoration. What made me obtain that questionable protein from a shifty stranger is anyone's guess. There are none more aware of the myriad dangers which accompany normal activity.

In the restroom at the bus station, I could feel diseases leaping from the stall to my penis. I live in Seattle, I've smelled enough heavy, strange urine to keep me pretty good on that score maybe forever. But there's something unique about New York pee, perhaps left there by oxen, herds of oxen grazing on garbage, drinking sewage and producing wholly new types of waste. We went into this public bathroom expecting it to be horrific, we did not expect laboratory conditions, and even then we were amazed at its filth."
