Rims

Just think, now you can finally let all 'yo bitches' in the next car over know exactly how you feel. Or, you could simply show 'em a pic of your ween-dog - right on your rims!!.

i am OLD?

I just spent a little time checking out myspace.com, and I feel like a used up balloon. Sort of flaccid, and stretched out.
My friend Deb sent a link to her page, which naturally had friends associated with it--including several young people who are not so young anymore. This is a picture of Hunter and Paulas daughter, Ione, from her myspace page. I was 15 when I changed this kids diaper, and took her to coffee in a red flyer wagon, and dyed her green with jello powder to piss off all the uptight old people. Many of whom I now realize were probably, oh, about my age. She is older now than we were when she was born.
But she is sort of beautiful and blank on that site. In contrast, another girl, Aubrey, is vulgar. She is punk and crass, and very sexual in a stupid--no, be fair, 17 year old kind of way.
Which brings me to the crux. Do we want to know these sort of details about our kids? And, what's my fucking problem? See, I was more like Aubrey. And frankly, I was in trouble, but I don't think my folks needed a myspace.com experience to know it. Probably just taking a moment to notice whether I was on acid would have done wonders. I don't mean to rag on my folks though. More just this aspect of the open nature of the internet. I might have needed some positive action from my folks, but I sure as hell am glad they never had to see what a dipshit I was in my head. Oh god, or anyone else. You lucky people. I would have been a myspace junkie.

I don't want to be an old person, who is bugged by kids being crass. But I want those girls to be healthy, and be safe. Which sounds old to me. Sigh.

All Purpose Survival Crackers

Workers found a long-forgotten civil defense stash inside the Brooklyn Bridge. Which reminds me, it's probably time to start trying the urban exploration thing again. Which reminds me #2, where in the hell is Malt?!?!?

Metallurgy

Not sure who all was in the conversation at the pub on Saturday, but, to recap, here are the two metal bands that are currently pummeling my helicotremas with visceral goodness.

Exhibito numero uno:

Mastodon, specifically the album 'Levithan':



...although I did just pick up their previous album, 'Remission', which is also very good.

Exhibito numero il duce:

The Sword's debut (and only, I believe) album, 'Age of Winters':



Click either pic to buy ‘em, which I would highly recommend. You can check out singles and such from each of their websites, which are here:

Saturday in the park

We'll be at the zoo this afternoon, probably around 2pm. Give us a call on the cellphone if you want to join in.

Cell Phone Etiquette - via boing boing

There are some die-hard bathroom talkers at work. Some want to talk to you in the bathroom, which is bad enough, and then there is one or two who feel the need to take phone calls. So, there I am in the stall doing what needs to be done, and a phone rings in the next stall. Amusement of the moment gives way to disbelief as the fellow next door actually answers the phone and I am treated to hear one side of the conversation interspersed with his grunting exersions as he works to separate himself from his byproducts. It was all in Spanish so I could only imagine what he was saying.

Evidently, there are quite a few who just can't wait to take that call. Click on this

You know, I guess, in passing, I thought that it would be easier. At least we now have a guide

Who knew?

Rube Goldberg drives an import.

Three million dollars, 606 takes and three months. Piece of cake, right?

Spore!

If you think SimCity 4 is cool, check out the new game in the works from those guys: Spore (codename: SimEverything).

Man, I'm on a roll here:

Since interest in this thing seems to be waning of late, let me try to get the ball waxing again.

Oh, and here's a picture of something that says 'Dirtybird'



And another:

Can you pass...

...this test?

As a fan of the subject material, I thought that I would have fun and do well at this, but, by the end, it was just one gristly blur.

Side note, I hadn't realized that there was so much more to know about these things. I once fancied a profession in such a realm, thinking it romantic to be involved with such a timeless trade.

Now not so much...




PS - I scored 53%.

PPPS - Doesn't it suck that they don't tell you the correct answers?

I nerd a need

This may be the exact wrong place to put this request, but do any of you have a PS2 that you would want to lend me in exchange for a GameCube?

I really want to play Katamari Damacy, God of War, Shadow of the Colossus and Guitar hero.

I know, I'm a nerd, but sometime I like to revel in it...
