I NEED THE SEASON PASS!

I wish I could watch every game. There's some games I'd take time off work to go home and watch if I had the Season Pass from DirecTV.

I'd get to watch stuff like THIS.

and this NO HITTER! Wow.

Baseball rocks. But without being able to watch all the games, I don't keep up even on the standings as much as I should (DANG IT! We're down to 5th best in the MLB!) cuz it just reminds me of the games I don't get to watch. And the Red Sox are on ESPN way more than most teams.

Dang it all. Stupid financial responsibilities...

Blaphemy? It's That Easy To Blaspheme?

Re: Leviticus 10 (King James and New American Standard versions HERE)

Moses' nephews Abihu and Nadab. Killed by God because "they offered unauthorized fire before the LORD". (my NIV Bible)

My comment to a friend regarding this was "God could use some people skills." I was being light-hearted about something that seems awfully harsh for a relatively minor offense.

My friend warned me not to blaspheme. I told her "It's my honest reaction to reading that."

Blasphemy? I'd like some thoughts from the peanut gallery. I'd also like to hear about anyone's perceptions and/or additional information of this verse.

What Motorcycling Is REALLY All About:

You really have to watch it til the end. There are some developments in there that are MUST SEE.

"If You Buy Dunkin Donuts, The Terrorists Win!"

I didn't hear anything over this whole Rachael Ray/Dunkin/DURKA-DURKA-JIHAD! thing.

I'm glad I wasn't eating when I read it just now. I probably woulda choked.

I think the Right has jumped the shark. What a bunch of hysterical nonsense.

I wouldn't even post on it, except this lept out at me on one page:

"The last thing we need is for the kaffiyeh to become the next version of the ubiquitous Che T-shirts."

"ubiquitous"?

I have honestly seen exactly ONE Che T-shirt out and about in my entire life. Now, I'm anti-social and I dislike crowds. And I live in Indiana which is hardly a bastion of liberal douchebaggery. But are these stupid shirts really "everywhere"?

Just wondering.

That's Certainly An Explanation...

Stephen Soderberg regarding leaving Che Guevara's butchery off the silver screen:
“I’ve read the anti-Che literature out there. I get the arguments. I feel there’s no amount of barbarity I could put on the screen that would satisfy them.”

Another would be "I'm a pussy liberal douchebag that idolizes a murderous coward".

I like mine better.

But I can see his point. If you were to actually film scenes of Che bravely shooting dead young teenage boys threatening his regime from behind prison bars, you might find it harder to generate sympathy for your subject, let alone good word of mouth for raising movie attendance. Kind of hard on that whole bottom line return-on-investment thang.

How ironic if capitalistic concerns prevent the truth being told about a stupid better-off-dead communist. One would think Che himself would herald such actions as "being necessary to bring about the perfect state".

Why Can't Movies Get Motorcycles Right?

Without reviewing the whole thing, I just got back from the new "Indiana Jones" film.

There's a motorcycle chase scene and I have to say: it's a decently fun scene unless you think about it.

As in: even back in 1957, you cannot tell me that a Harley wouldn't leave sedans in the dust without trying. Especially being able to weave around cars in traffic, there's simply no way any car could keep up. The quicker acceleration, the nimbleness, being able to go through much narrower passages...

Hollywood just will not get it right, will they?

Other than "The World's Fastest Indian" (one of my favorite films ever made), I just cannot think of a movie that gets motorcycles right. I mean, maybe I could if I racked my brain... okay maybe not.

But then again, Hollywood gets guns (the Jamie Lee Curtis / Mac-10 scene in "True Lies", anyone?) and music-related stuff wrong all the time too. If I ever made a movie, I'd give the relevant parts of the script over to someone that can REALLY ride (or knows guns or plays guitar or whatever specialized knowledge that's being bandied about).

I would much rather bust my brain figuring out how to make improbable reality exciting than let my work devolve into a cartoon.

Oh well.

EDIT: How pathetic is THIS? Harrison Ford waxes his chest in solidarity with the anti-Amazon deforestation movement? And sadly: No. I am not joking.

EDIT: EDIT: regarding waxing, if you're a homo and are considering waxing... DON'T DO IT! I was making fun of these two skanks once about how waxing "couldn't hurt that much". I let them wax my ankle. It hurts. A lot. A whole fucking lot, thank you. And it wasn't even kissably smooth either. So that was a lie too.

If You Prefer Faggot Versions of Rock Classics...

I've never heard of the band "Cake" before. But man do they suck. Their version of "War Pigs" sounds like a homo singing over MIDI instruments. How lame and pathetic. I need to crank something to get that garbage out of my consciousness ASAP.

It's like someone told them: "Have a take. DO suck!"

Play this version instead:

Where's Woody Harrelson on this?

Why Hemp Fuel? Quoting from the article:
* Biodiesel is the only alternative fuel that runs in any conventional, unmodified diesel engine. It can be stored anywhere that petroleum diesel fuel is stored.
* Biodiesel is safe to handle and transport because it is as biodegradable as sugar, 10 times less toxic than table salt, and has a high flashpoint of about 300 F compared to petroleum diesel fuel, which has a flash point of 125 F.
* Biodiesel can be made from domestically produced, renewable oilseed crops such as hemp.
* Biodiesel is a proven fuel with over 30 million successful US road miles, and over 20 years of use in Europe.
* When burned in a diesel engine, biodiesel replaces the exhaust odor of petroleum diesel with the pleasant smell of hemp, popcorn or french fries.
* Biodiesel is the only alternative fuel in the US to complete EPA Tier I Health Effects Testing under section 211(b) of the Clean Air Act, which provide the most thorough inventory of environmental and human health effects attributes that current technology will allow.
* Biodiesel is 11% oxygen by weight and contains no sulfur. The use of biodiesel can extend the life of diesel engines because it is more lubricating than petroleum diesel fuel, while fuel consumption, auto ignition, power output, and engine torque are relatively unaffected by biodiesel.

Hemp paper is much more efficient than wood-paper too, IIRC. All this efficiency and environmental benefit gone because some old women are scared of a kid lighting up a doobie. Which they can buy easier than cigarettes in most cases anyway. What a screwed-up world...

Media Bias? Nahhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Damn molesting Catholic priests...

Oh, wait a second...

Betcha Shane's Already Blogged About How Cool This Is...

Let me check... Wow. Nope, he ain't.

So Indianapolis is getting the Super Bowl in 2012. Whoopee shit. They're still going to tax us 2% on all food purchases on TOP of our newly-increased "normal" sales tax.

Watch, Hoosiers. Now we're going to hear all about how "Indy doesn't have enough hotels!". And there will be tax abatements and subsidies for builders to expand our hotel capacity for the Super Bowl.

Never mind that we already host the Indianapolis 500 which holds more than three times the capacity of the Lucas Oil Stadium. No, our asshole pols will find good reason to waste more taxpayer dollars "for our own good".

And we're still not going to get our money's worth out of the taxpayer money going to that fucking eyesore of a new stadium. Bastards. I'd just as soon direct a small meteor to take the damn thing out. Preferably with Irsay and his crony politicians inside.

Plus, it's FUGLY and dominates our skyline. It looks so out of place driving around downtown.

For a town with such an insecurity complex about being a big city that seems too small, this really just makes it worse.

I REALLY Need Help...

I sat on one of these last Saturday:



I'm surprised I didn't get an erection. I felt its power on the showroom floor. If certain things last year hadn't happened, I'd say I'd had a religious experience just sitting on that bad boy. I'm getting chills right now just thinking about it.

And it just occurred to me that I could go sit on one during lunch tomorrow at work. There's the dealer where I bought my bike literally a one minute drive out of our parking lot.

And the really sad part is, I'm thinking of doing it! Just walking in, sitting on one and walking back out.

And why am I thinking of this crap when I should be going to bed?

A Bit Of Blegging...

MOVED UP!

Anyone know anyone that has the OLD Bob & Tom CD's, prior to 1992? I have Airheads, Motorheads, Find My Keys And We'll Drive Out and some other really old ones, but not the very first ones.

And the used ones are going for FAR too much on Evilbay. So if anyone knows anyone that might have them and be willing to dupe them for me, let me know.

If the WFBQ dumbasses would just re-issue the damn things, I'd buy them up. Retards.

DEAD Right.

(pun intended)



BTW: McCain sucks donkey balls.

"Cops Write Tickets TO SAVE LIVES!"

At least according to the commercial blaring at me during the Red Sox game just now.

Huh... I never made the connection.

I thought they did it to get more donuts for their fat asses.

Does ANYONE really believe this shite?

I Miss Drake...

Him barking at everything that passed by my yard... and sometimes seemingly at nothing.

Him being there to goof with and play fetch.

Me starving him by only giving him half-rations for a month cuz I stupidly can't do math.

Him peeing on my kitchen floor... okay, I won't miss that part.

But I saw this handicapped guy in a powered wheelchair go by with a black Rottie while I was mowing the lawn today. And I really started missing that little pain in the ass Drake.

He drove me nuts while he was here. But I really miss him now that he's gone.

What a Bummer.

John Mayer is a Douchebag...

...and one funny bastard. I'm probably way late in discovering this, but it's still funny.

john-mayer-is-an-insufferable-douchebag

I already like the dude for "Two Guys and a Cup" (previously mentioned on this blog) but I have to tip my hat to the dude again.

Since My Brother Isn't Posting Any...

Here are a few more pics of Drake. All together now: "AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!"





And a few with him and sis together. Drake has the blue collar, Kaylee the purple.

Faster than the speed of my phone cam!



A nice pic of Jason blocking my shot...

Makes Me Want To Shoot The Piggies...

I've never been interested in role-playing a thug before. Kinda just seemed all fucked-up to me. But if this sort of sick humour is prevalent in GTA, I think I just might have to go buy it.
