Lazy Bastards

There aren't many Trick-Or-Treaters out this year. Again.

But almost none of them that ARE out even bothered with a costume.

So now I'm glad I'm too cheap to give out candy.

That's a KILLER Headache!

Okay, I have to put a warning on here... This is a dude DYING on camera. No joke. If you might not want to see it, don't watch it. But it is in infrared filmed from a good distance so it's not THAT bad.

Cool. Now no one can say I didn't warn them.



"Dude, rub some dirt on it!"

Bad Casting...

Don Cheadle to play Jim Rhodes in Iron Man 2? Lame casting choice.

He doesn't fit the part at all. I didn't like the Terrence Howard casting either, but at least he made it work "okay".

Michael Jai White would be a better casting. He very much looks the part of Rhodey. But I don't know if he can actually act. But then again, it IS Iron Man...

Just because it came to me just now, here is my favorite line of Cheadle's:
"He over there. You-you told me not to shoot him. That's all you told me. So I choked him. That's all. If you didn't want him dead why'd you leave him with me?"
(from "Devil in a Blue Dress".)

Takers?

Betcha $20 Obama doubles the federal deficit in two years if he's elected.

(I posted this over in Troy's comments.)

Bloody Poseurs...

I was on another blog and someone said something about reading Uncanny X-Men #1. Can you believe it?

Retards.

Tru Dat!

LORDS OF LIGHT!

Why the heck am I watching this show at 1:18 am?

I Miss Shane...

He doesn't comment anymore. Makes me sad. No more blog warz.

Now We Get FRANKEN-BEER!

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,443798,00.html

What the fuck is wrong with people?

They really need to leave all of our foods alone. Especially beer. (Why "especially beer"? Eh. No real reason, just cuz I say so.)

Heck, if I knew which beers were only beer-conditioned instead of pasteurized or cold-filtered, I’d only buy those. (I love the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.)

How long did we hear how much healthier margarine was than real butter?

How many drugs recalled after being hailed as “live savers”?

How many wild game animals have near-zero cholesterol compared to the hormone-and-antibiotics-injected caged beasts grown by Tyson and its ilk?

These guys ain’t nearly as smart as they like to make us think. And God put some amazing stuff on our planet already. All-natural, un-tampered-with real food.

I don’t care that I have to pay another 50% for real food as opposed to mass-produced tasteless crap. It’s usually more filling anyway so you don’t have to eat nearly as much.

The Atheist / Muslim Alliance

http://amboytimes.typepad.com/the_amboy_times/2007/02/the_list_of_thi.html
I'm looking at the link above and laughing at the absurdity of it all.

And I am knocking my head against the wall trying to figure out why atheists love to suck off Muslims.

They have no trouble whatsoever with decrying Christians. But have some raghead make a complaint and the atheist world bends right over to defend them. Make a comment based on facts and logical thought that could possibly be intentionally misconstrued as being anti-Muslim and you get a ridiculous reaction. "How can you be so intolerant?" is the usual response.

And don't even mention cutting off immigration from Arab countries on the terrorist watch list! Oh no, we have to keep importing lunatics from countries that hate us! We might have a semi-homogeneous population and we sure can't have that!

A kid carrying a Bible in a public school or a graduate making a speech referencing Jesus are beyond the pale but installing foot sinks for Muslims in airports is somehow okay? Using public funds to accommodate religious rituals is fine with atheists? I mean, it has to be! Where are the fucking lawsuits they love to file when it comes to Muslim demands on their tax dollars? How is this not violating the Constitution?

Atheistis defend the offended sensibilities of Jews too. But not to nearly the degree. I think that's just opportunism, as in the case of crying about the anti-Semiticism of "The Passion".

I just don't get it. The "it" in question being how they justify this bowing and scraping to a religion they believe is just as false as Christianity.

Is it fear? That seems insufficient since atheists don't have much to fear from the bastards until they have enough numbers to take over (like in some areas of France and the UK).

The funniest thing about it to me is how if these idiots live in an area that is ever taken over, they have to submit to every little demand of the Koran. So all the things we in a Christian nation are told we must be tolerant of (homosexuals, rampant promiscuity, 5 year old girls walking around with bare shoulders) will be met with mob violence and the raping of the offending females.

And the civil authorities will just shrug and say "You shouldn't have done that there. You should have known better."

Heck, they might even say "She was in their hood, she has to submit to Sharia." Then be stoned for being a whore without two male supporting witnesses to her rape.

Nah... I'm crazy...

Hmmmmmmmmm....

It was a fake. And like Vox, when you saw the "cut" in her face it made you rethink really quick. No one bothering to make a statement like that would do so without CUTTING into her face.

I am also stunned she was dumb enough to do it in the mirror and not remember to reverse it.

But that's the mentality of these stupid lying fucks (like virtually every "Muslim hate crime" at college campuses all over). They're too incompetent to cover all the details.

Like my quote on the right says:
"The older I get the more I admire and crave competence, just simple competence, in any field from adultery to zoology." --H. L. Mencken

Shit. If you're gonna make a hoax, do something right already!

I can't decide if they'll prosecute or not. She IS white, but she's also a woman. So those two factors pretty much cancel one another out.

And for the reasons stated last post, I'm still getting the extra firepower.

Pure As The Wind-Driven Snow They Are...

http://www.newsweek.com/id/162403

You want to bring about CHANGE, you gotta make some sacrifices! A little thing like credit card controls that every storefront on the web has to use or get likely sued into oblivion? Nah... can't have little things like campaign finance laws stop THE OBAMA!

Oh, that little legal limit of $2300? Nope. No limit on just how much dough you can drop on that site. Why would there be?

Of course this is being covered on the nightly news... right?

That "Michael Jordan" effect yet again.

And Mike's Buying HP Ammo and Extra Mags This Weekend...

And probably a 12 gauge this payday.

http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/news/17789356/detail.html

The riots the night of the election should be fun. The human garbage amongst us will be rioting either way, win or lose for the Magic Negro Messiah.

I doubt I'll be able to sleep with all the gunfire if Obama wins. It'll make July 4th and New Year's sound like nothing.

And I'm probably staying up if he loses to watch for any volunteer corpses, I mean trouble makers.

Hey! Maybe they'll do me a favour and burn down my house AND I'll get to put some scumbags in the dirt.

If my guitars make it out alive, it could be a total win / win situation!

(Trying to look on the bright side.)
(Hat tip to Vox.)

It SHOULD be able to go without saying: decent folks of any colour do not run riot over such things.

The Damn INJUSTICE!!!!

Tony Levin, Terry Bozzio, Pat Mastelotto and Alan Holdsworth. On tour. Together.

In JAPAN.

And I can't go.

That just sucks.

And no one here knows WHY that really, really, really SUCKS.

Oh well. I guess I'll just suffer.

You Have GOT To Be Kidding Me!!!!

I can only guess how many times I've fallen victim to complete BS like this on Halo 3.

Over The Top But Pretty Damn Funny

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=78576

Red Sox Reflections...

... another year in the books. Pretty dang close to getting back-to-back World Series appearances.

The Red Sox just didn't get it done. Their pitching wasn't good enough and they didn't swing the bat well enough either. They stranded a ton of runners and in the end it cost them.

They got beat, but thankfully not 4-1 as I feared. As much as I bitch about how the Sox could have saved me time and stress by not making it to game 7, I really enjoyed this series overall.

My biggest disappointment this ALCS was Big Papi. I had hoped his 3 run shot in game 5 was a return rather than a fluke.

I remember watching Johnny Damon struggling in 2004. He came to the plate and my brother David was dogging him. I said "home run right here". And he did it. It shook him right out of his slump. He even got that Grand Slam in game 7. (Though those might be the same play, for some reason I think they weren't. I want to say it was in the first round, I'm not sure.)

I wish Ortiz could have done the same thing this time. He just didn't have a spark this year, sad to say. I wonder how much losing Manny (that stupid rat bastard) affected his spirits.

Oh well. There's always next year.

Ads for CORN SYRUP?

I love it. The Corn Growers of America (not exact, but I don't care) are putting on TV commercials telling us that corn syrup is good for you.

Why would they do that? Because folks are waking up to the fact that corn syrup is bad like hydrogenated oils and they're scared of a ban? (Not that I support government bans just cuz something's bad for you. Hell, I support legalization of crack!)

Funny thing, corn syrup is mostly used because sugar literally costs twice what it should in this country due to government tariffs. I haven't dug into the legislative history, but I'd bet the corn industry had a hand in those tariffs being enacted.

Bastards.

More On Media Bias

Rachel Lucas' post on the subject got me annoyed thinking about it.

B. Hussein and his ilk are non-stop bitching about Fox News. And they never admit just how biased every other TV news outlet is in favour of the Magic Negro.

This pervasive hatred of Fox even extends to places you'd not expect.

Example: Steve Vai's message board

A member posts THIS link to a story regarding Apple's iTunes and royalty issues.

The moderator posts this:
"A link to FIX News. Awesome!
A better link to a non-propaganda site: "

and then links to a website dedicated to Apple! As if somehow that's an unbiased place to find a story on Apple? WTF?

The kicker is that both stories say the same fucking thing!

It just goes to show how blind these anti-Fox folks can be.

And I don't even like Fox. Their advocacy on most positions is shallow (as in depth of its understanding of the topic or the utter lack thereof), transparent and outright annoying. O'Reilly is another asshole that yells over folks and then gets pissed if they interrupt HIM. I don't know any of the other folks on Fox by name which shows how much they impress me.

But they do have some VERY fine babes spouting their Republican Cheerleader nonsense in short skirts. So the network does have its fine points.

I'm Gonna Puke...

The Red Sox just got within one run. 7-6 Tampa.

JD Drew just blasted a two run homer. I really feel sick to my stomach.

And I'm not drunk.

UPDATE: 12:09. Tie game. Youkilis up. 9th, 2 and 2 and 2 outs. Some 7 pitches for this at bat.

Now full count... crazy throw to 1st goes into the stands. Youk proceeds to second.

They're walking Bay to get to Drew.

My stomach's churning... I fucking hate sports.

FINAL UPDATE: going back to Tampa. I still feel as though I'm gonna hurl.

I really, really hate sports. But I LOVE THAT DIRTY WATER...

Just... Wow...

http://www.rachellucas.com/index.php/2008/10/15/he-cannot-possibly-be-serious/

But of course, Obama IS serious... Rachel does a good enough job summarizing. Hit the link.

Wow.

"The immigration issue will now be handled without the knowledge or consent of the American people. Always remember that bipartisan equals gang bang." ---- EN over at Vox's

I'm going to try and remember that one. Great stuff.

As Mike Turns To The Straight Gin...

UPDATE: This blogging MASTERPIECE gets not a single fucking comment??? WTF?

We're down 5-1 in the third.

Shit.

UPDATE:
Now, just cuz the game is pissing me off, I turned on every single light in the house to counter the stupid "energy conservation" bullshit they're lecturing me on. Fuck 'em.

UPDATE: 7-1. Fuck it. I'm just downing a shot every time TB scores. I'll probably be dead by the end of the game the way the fucking Sox are playing.

UPDATE: Runner walked into home. 8-1. Can you pickle your liver in one evening?

UPDATE: Blooper drops. 9-1. Shit. I wonder if I can actually make it through this game without passing out? I wanted to play Halo 3 after...

UPDATE: 10-1. I think I made a serious mistake deciding to do this. Should make Halo very interesting. I have to plug in my headset so I can scream drunken vulgarities.

Inter-TB-scoring update: I haven't binge drank for a very long time. Actually, the last time was some 17 months ago (yup, THAT time...). My guts are on fire. The likelihood of my getting to work tomorrow is plummeting somewhat dangerously.

UPDATE: MOTHER FUCKER! WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE? GET A MOTHER FUCKING FAGGOT RAY OUT ALREADY! I'M GOING TO DIE OF ALCOHOL POISONING CUZ OF THE FUCKING RED SOX FUCKING DEFENSE! 11-1, BTW.

"A Boston Massacre" says the TBS Annoucnner asshole fuckhead. YA FUCKING THING?

sHIT.

I can't even finish this 11 score shot. It's just sitting there... taunting me. I shouldn't drink it. I don't wanna puke in my living room.

Come on, Sox. Fucking do something. Pull off the miracle already...

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/eticket/story?page=manny

You know, Manny is a stupid fuckhead. What dkind of moron hires a dude that has an incentive to not work with the management?

Fuck. Inning over. I think it was the 7th... nope. Only the fucking 6th.

I really didn't intend to have advaneures of Durken Blogger tonight. What a shitty evening.

And yes, I am fully aware of my misspellings. Firefox poins them out for me and I'm sort of liking how it does so.
Fuck

Hewy Jason! W@hat does this remind you of?

mIKE: "Fuck!" (runs away) (SPLASH!)

wHY IS STHERE A MOSQUITO IN MY HOSUE? FUCKING MOSTQ2UITOS.

Fuck it. I'm not fixing my typos. It's honesty in blogging.

I can only imagine what it's like to read this blog entry. I would guess it is wsort of like watching a car wreck. You know what's oing to bhappne, but you can't do anything about it.

UPDATE: *(10:14) If I see the Sox pitchers shien the shoes of the TB cocksuckers one more fucking time... I'm going outside and killing a cat with my .45.

UPDATE: 10:17 Big Papi just tripled. FUCK YEAH!!! Okay, I am retoractively giving meself one VOMIT CREDIT for every point the Sox score. I already used the Ortiz score puke poitn.

BY THE WAY! I want to bitch about the stupid announcers saying "the bigger strke szone is okay" in game 3. Fuck that. That' is all.

Aslo, I shoudl ttotally have a wife. She could sitdrctact me with blowljobs to ease my mood.

Fuck. 12-2. BRB.

13-2. I stuck with it. Drikning two shots in like two minutes. oh boy

At least Gordons Gin is cheap. I can drink it and puke uit up without feeling too bad about wasting too much dough.

I think I'm making a mockery of the idea of "drinking responsibly".

What the fuck? All of a sudden, I'm typing like a hot red-headed secreatry . Okay, maye not .

HEY!!! FENWAY IS STEALING JASON'S WEDDING THEME SONG! SEWWEETT CAROLINE........... DUN-DUN-DUNNNNNNNNNN

I am SO very much saing this theread for my kids to show the evils aof the driknign.

Shit. Spilled half my shot.

But we just scored so I have two PUKE CRDITS. So I guess I won't feel obligated to drink another half shot.

Wierd how well I can type while trashed drunk.

mAN THE band Boston rocks. The guitarist has such badass tone! I'm gonna put that CD in my PC right now and crank it while I watch the rest of this shitty game.

Shit. My PC speakers are n't nearly as loud as I want. But I guess I'm stuck until after the game.

whaoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! Now I have 3 puke curedits.

UPDATE: end of the 8th. 9 point deficit, one inning. No problem.

And in the midst of my masterpiece, Blogger starts fucking up. Figures.

FUCK A DONKE3Y. 3 TO 1 LEAD FOR THE FUCKING FAGGOT TAMPA BAY FUCKHEADS.

One last to the b4im shot and then I be done. Work tomorrow be ducking dmang.ed.

.
Okay. I'm done for now. going to Halo 3. See you lunatics later.

Well after Blogger went psycho and wouldn't let me post... here I am signing off for the night.

AFter missing the toilet rather egregiously with mobth urine and vomit, I think I might have to avoid drinking for a while.

EXACTLY What Should Happen

http://www.lewrockwell.com/vuk/vuk25.html

Responsible banks make huge gains, stupid over-extended banks are biting the dust.

We need MORE of this happening. Not stupid BILLION-DOLLAR bailouts.

Fuck the wrinkled whores of Wall Street, sucking off the government cock, er.... teat.

But nope, Obama and McCain both pledge to save their parasite contributors.

Fuck this dishonest world. Fuck the parasites of Wall Street. We should rise up and tar and feather their thieving asses. Or much, much worse.

It's a VERRRRRYYYY Straaaannnngggeee World...

(To quote Spock's Beard.)

So there I am on the john at work. (You're welcome)

And someone comes in and sits down a few stalls down.

Then, I hear a wrapper being opened.

Then... munching.

Then the dude's mouth smacking.

You really just cannot make this stuff up.

Dude was eating on the toilet!

And there I sat (shat?), trying not to bust a gut laughing out loud. And I'm pretty sure I failed at concealing my chuckles. I couldn't help it. The situation was just beyond ridiculous.

I should have yelled: "WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT, DUDE?!? You're sosta LEAVE stuff that looks like Baby Ruth bars, not EAT them on the shitter!"

And this is the second time this has happened in less than a month.

UPDATE: Went to the can today... there's a candy wrapper in the bowl. People are REALLY messed up. Not as messed up as me getting tanked while watching the Red Sox.

Just Submitted to the Sports Dude...

You and "Joe the Guy, Boston" both need to reach right between your legs and make sure you're both still guys.

Anyone that attempts to reference "League of Their Own" in a serious sports discussion has obviously had their balls removed via some sick and twisted procedure.

Get a freaking grip on your cajones, dude.

I know I'm tanked on... some number of shots of gin (I started drinking one shot per Tampa Bay runs scored in game 4 after they went up 6-1 and I lost count somewhere) but at least I know I'm still a man.

You and Joe might want to check to make sure.

Vomitersity 101

Vomit... it's a strange thing. For years, I've been an advocate of the idea that if your body wants to expel something... you should almost certainly just let it happen.

So in keeping with the Red Sox score credit system I established for myself tonight, I've puked twice. And I still have one puke credit to spare left to my name.

When I close my eyes, I feel as though I'm on a roller coaster. But really, I can't be THAT drunk. Because apparently, I'm sobering up because not only can I type and notice my Firefox-pointed-out spelling errors, I'm fixing them as I go without much trouble.

Whew. You'd think I'd wise up and swear off drunkenness entirely. (That's showing as a spelling error, but I'm keeping it in there.) (Okay, I added another "n" and it's okay now.)

I should (and do) feel a little ashamed for "being with drunkenness".

Just one more thing I've done wrong... I'm really hating my conscience at times lately.

Oh well. Good night. Take care. And I hope at the very least I've amused my few readers.

Silly Fun In Drumming.

What An Awful Thing...

I've never heard of this. And I despise Slick Willie. But it's hard not to feel sympathy for this, if true.

Losing my mental abilities would drive me mad. It would be even worse to know or feel your faculties going away.

This is why I intend to ride motorcycles my whole life. That way, should my brain start to go then hopefully I'll just go splat on some twisties somewhere.

OOPS! The link might help:

Wow. Dey Be Well-Edumacated!

(Yes, I know they cherry-picked for that bit. But I really doubt they had to do MUCH cherry-picking.)

More fun:


And once again, just like with his school records (and Kerry's military record too), ALL the Magic Negro has to do is produce the documents to shut up his opponents.

But he won't. He's a piece of shit coward.

What We Have To Look Forward To If The Magic Negro Wins:

Secret Service agents coming to your home if you're critical of the lying douchebag that is Obama.

This is beyond pathetic. As I related earlier, I told a campaign caller I'd rather slit my own throat than vote for either Obama or Hillary.

Looking at this article, I'm surprised I didn't get a call.

But just so maybe I CAN waste the Secret Services' time, I hate Obama for wanting babies to die too. He's a worthless piece of shit and I wouldn't stomp on his chest in an impromptu Heimlich were he to be choking on chicken and waffles right in front of me.

BTW: It was brought to my attention that Rush Limbaugh was using the term "The Magic Negro". I never intended for anyone to think I made that up. Vox Day uses it and I thought it was amusing. I have no idea whence the term originated nor do I care.

Your Democratic Candidate, Staggeringly Evil

Why Obama Really Voted For Infanticide

There is no "middle" here. This is a truly evil position. That this happens in our country makes it a mockery to call ourselves "civilized". And foul bitches like Whoopie Goldberg have the nerve to call Dr. Ron Paul a liar on abortion.

These liberals don't even have the balls to defend this in broad daylight. Instead they call those telling the truth - about their on-the-record statements - liars. And the MSM spreads the misinformation without a hint of shame.

Like I said over at Josh's, if the MSM were truly objective instead of the lying bastards that they are, no Democratic president since Carter would have ever been elected. And most of Congress wouldn't be sitting there either.

It's like Michael Jordan and Shaq in the NBA. They KNOW they'll get the favourable calls by the officials. So they do things shamelessly to work the system. Democratic candidates do the same, without fear of being called on their actions and lies.

It's quite pathetic that the situation continues.

Too bad no one would actually support a new TV network focused on the facts and calling everyone on their BS. The honesty would be refreshing.

I'm still not a supporter in the fucking least, but Obama is just such a damned pussy that it's nice to hear the truth for a bit. B. Hussein is such a fucking thin-skinned, cowardly, lying pussy.

It was ridiculous to watch Geraldine Ferraro get attacked for telling the truth: "If this dude was white, we'd never have even heard his name." It's even more ridiculous to see the blatant manipulation by the media in his favour.

His campaign is looking to prosecute folks for political ads! Shit, as far as I know, that's a first.

The rest of his campaign entails endless mewling. He sounds like a hormonal female: (actually, that's an insult to hormonal females)

"Wahhhhhh... people are telling the truth about my voting to off newborn babies in Illinois!"
"Wahhhhhh... people are telling the truth about my sucking off Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae executives for campaign contributions while their policies sank the nation's finances!"
"Wahhhhhh... people are telling the truth about my hanging out with unrepentant domestic terrorists!"
"Wahhhhhh... people are telling the truth about my inexperience!"
"Wahhhhhh... people are telling the truth about my unwillingness to release my student records!"
"Wahhhhhh... people are telling the truth about my elitism!"
"Wahhhhhh... people are telling the truth about my socialism!"
"Wahhhhhh... people are telling the truth about my wanting to steal guns from your hands!"
"Wahhhhhh... RACISM!RACISM!RACISM!RACISM!RACISM!RACISM!RACISM!RACISM! Oh wait, did you hear me? RACISM!"

Shit, if the media were actually unbiased, would ANY Democrat have been elected since Carter? (I would say LBJ, but Nixon fairly earned the Republican their boot from office.)

Meanwhile, God still hasn't sent that meteor to DC that I requested while Congress was in session.

This garbage should scare any sane person.

And in between brainwashing sessions, the DNC is busy suing folks inquiring about B. Hussein's birth certificate and his legal eligibility to be a valid candidate. (HERE)

Just like the charges he used Affirmative Action to get into Harvard, he's ducking the issue instead of shutting up his critics by using honesty.

The obfuscation just gives ammo to his critics. But I bet both charges are true. Obama's camp seems to get off on using white guilt to manipulate perceptions to hide the truth.

And his seeming inability to endure any criticism just makes me more suspect of deeper mental deficiencies. You know, like that whole fucking Messiah complex he and his lackies exhibit.

This country can do much better than to buy into the whole Cult of Personality thang.

"Outsourcing aids data thefts, Verizon says"

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26990313/

Besides the criminal theft aspect, I've been more than slightly annoyed by offshore outsourcing of my financial information for years.

I think one way corporations could drum up business is charge slightly higher prices, interest rates or fees for their services and keep their customer service totally locked in our country. With some sort of guarantee that they'll never offload to China, India or whatever.

I'd pay a $100 more for a PC if it was all-American tech support. NO question.

No more Habib with his badly-concealed Indian accent passing me on to higher-ups twice to sort out my XBox Live account. No more repeating myself for a half hour trying to get Dell's Hadjis to understand me while sorting out router issues on my dad's computer.

I can't believe no one's done this yet. Of course, the bastard companies would just renege after a while, citing stratospheric costs. And yet, no one can explain to me why taking three times as long on simple tech support calls is cost-efficient.

Exactly...
