One For The Road

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

     ‘ve been playing Urban Dead for just over a year now, and the majority of that was played in the fine company of the Shearbank Resistance, a fantastic group of players and friends.

A Toast! (6)

Saturday, May 26th, 2007

     his has been quite the busy week for finding things to toast which piss me off. Finding things which make me happy, or make me laugh, has been a little trickier.

To Jimmy Carter, twice. Once for having the balls to bash CommanderGuy Bush, and once for reverting into a big pussy and taking it back.

WTF, Pt 2

Friday, May 25th, 2007

     ia Pandagon, I found this YouTube video, which is just chock-full of crazy.
     Lybrel is the “new” birth control pill that just got FDA approval. There’s nothing special or different about Lybrel. As far as I can determine, it’s the same dose of hormones you’d get in one of the other common pills. The only apparent [...]

WTF.

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

     TF is up with the new Democratic war funding bill? It has no troop withdrawal deadline, only a series of “benchmarks” that Iraqis must meet. If the Iraqis don’t meet their benchmarks, the bill allows the President to ignore that and spend the fucking money anyway! The President doesn’t even need one of his goddamned [...]

Ham Roast

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

There are people who believe that humans and dinosaurs co-existed. And what this is, plain and simple, is a psychotic reaction. These people are stone-cold-fuck nuts. I can’t be nice about this, because these people are watching The Flintstones as if it were a documentary.

     he search for a new car goes on at Casa del Java. The Delta was declared officially dead this past Thursday, when we went to the salvage yard where we’d had it towed and cleaned it out, also selling it to the owner there. Now we’re busily seeking some sort of new vehicle . . [...]

A Toast! (5)

Saturday, May 19th, 2007

     ‘d like to start off with a special toast this week to a group of 14 who came in last night, 45 minutes before we closed, with no notice, and stayed until an hour after close, despite subtle hints like turning off the radios, the TVs, the lights . . . Asshats.

To Paul Wolfowitz, who [...]
