Ten years ago, we had Steve Jobs, Bob Hope, and Johnny Cash.

Now we have no jobs, no hope, and no cash.

Whoever told hordes of young men that they looked awesome with their too-large pants pulled down to show off their boxer-clad heinies was the greatest con artist of all time.  THEY LOOK LIKE IDIOTS!  I want to yank their pants up to their armpits and fix them in place with a nail gun!!!!!

I've found that my collection is sorely lacking in a good spider movies, snakes too. Any suggestions? I'm thinking about seeing Rattlers and Kingdom of the Spiders.
OH, and remind me never, never, never, ever, ever to watch a clip from The Exorcist at night, when I'm home alone, right before I was going to go to bed ever again.

I don't know, I'd give the greatest con artist of all time award to whoever convinced women to walk around with a thong as far up their butt as humanly possible.

I miss the days when Nigerian scammers at least made up a good story about how and where they found their money...


From my email today:

"Most Warmest Greetings Dear Friend!

Today I will introduce myself to you. I am Corporal Ron Williams from New York City, United States, and I am a soldier in the army of the American Republic fighting in the southern quarter of Asia.

Please send me the email now to give me a good idea how to return to United States and I will split this considerable treasure with you most equally! I am frightened my good fortune shall be discovered at almost any hour when the sargant returns from his fighting mission to check my quarters for neat quality so do write me back soon and I will share my good fortune with you this very day!

You know what to do: mess with them. Try and get a good picture, I tried, more than once, to get a picture from a scammer with them holding a sign that said "Aborshun Thadlived", but never got it. I did get a "I love ToobiePhisted" picture, as well as "I love Humpin Bois" and a "Father Penna Trateme" one.

I call on all fellow citizens of the American Republic to join me in opposing this useless war in the southern quarter of Asia!

Actually there seems some truth to that....

I swear the neighbors are trying to outdecorate me this Halloween.   Whenever I put something new up someone else does.   I don't care really, it make the neighborhood kind of the way I'd like it year round.

From what I understand it got started because they're imitating the look of prisoners.  In prison, you're not allowed any belts, so your pants tend to hang down a bit, plus there's the whole idea that "my pants are hanging down because I've got a gun that's weighing them down" type of thing.  

And, of course, imitating prisoners and giving off the suggestion that you're carrying a weapon is the exact thing you want to be protraying.

Huh... was reading the entry on "Zombe Apocalypse" on Wikipedia and they said that the first known story of the genre was Richard Matheson's novel I Am Legend, published in 1954. 

Really? 

Not casting doubt here, just saying I can't believe there wasn't a "lone survivor of an apocalypse/disaster" before that one.  Thing again, the fifties did give rise to the fear of civilization being destroyed by nuclear holocaust, I guess up until then the whole "end of civilization" (at least but a scientific, instead of a religious means) hadn't really been thought of.

I have about 4 cups of extremely active Sourdough Starter and I don't know what to make with it.
