So good I can't comment on it....

Weezer on the Muppet Show (yes, I know it's not exactly the Muppet Show, but any music video with the Swedish Chef can't be that bad.

Those voices in your head may be real after all...

It may simply turn out to be a load of mites...

My favorite cartoon...

Or at least one of of my favorites - What's Opera Doc?

It can't be all that bad...

Don't let life get you down. You can bounce back from anything. Even losing your head. Like this woman.....

Dell gets sued

This is why I own a Gateway. The New York AG is suing Dell for deceptive advertising practices, and various and sundry other things that customers really find not to be pleasant. Some of my friends have Dells, and those are the ones that I'm called upon to fix. But my 6 1/2 year-old Gateway is still going strong. With the execption of the one time that I unplugged it without turning off the power strip, and I blew out my modem and sound card (about $100 to replace, too). Ouch.

Ok, I have just one question for you:

What's on your mind?

Some, shall we say, "very happy" mercahndise

See it here.  I have no comment.

RIP Wally Schirra

He flew in Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo (IIRC the only astronaut to do all three). He has died at age of 84. We've all lost a hero.

This is what happens when I get a day off....

Taken from near my apartment door. Note the clouds, rain, and a touch of hail.

Thous shalt no steal....

Ok, so this was only a bicycle, but still don't go stealing. Sting operations aren't for cop shows anymore...

I'm not dead yet....

Between working a string of extended shifts at my $dayjob and trying to rebuild my computer, it has been impossible to post anything of late.

So, who's all appreared on Sesame Street?

Here's a list of celebrities who've appeared on Sesame Street.  For some reason, I can't seem to find the episode where Grover goes off on some five-year-old about the Force.  Then again, I can't find Yoda lecturing Anakin Skywalker about the letter J, either.

Google buys doubleclick

Google buys doubleclick.  As to what changes will have to be made in my HOSTS file to kill the ads, I don't know yet.  But I do recommend a HOSTS file (it will work in Windoze, Linux and Mac).

Ok, if you in the mood for a pancake

And all you have is your heroin kit, here is how you make your flapjacks.  Do remember, though, that you'll need and extra syringe for the syrup.

Have you ever wondered

When you put dry ice in a sink full of soapy dish water? BTW, did I mention that I got a new camera phone last week?

Happy Easter

I hope you all have had a happy Godless Pagan Spring Holiday. I really don't do the Easter Candy anymore, but this was a holiday today, and it was a day off today.

A quick safety tip

If after reading this, you still insist on not wearing a seatbelt and driving under the influence, you deserve to be taken out of the gene pool.

Ok, who has to go.

Some of the weirdest plumbing fixtures (aka thrones) around. I for one, would prefer to use the horn....

Get you tin-foil hats out

The New World Order (Mind-Control Division) is starting again.  I expect the Mariners to choke it again.  I think the Cardinals may take the World Series again.  Especially with their hitting (although it should be expected since it does throw off the pitching when you go to the plate wearing your mitre and choir dress).
