I am also big enough to admit when they point out one of my own foibles. From their feature How to tell if you are a whack-job NASCAR fanatic:
I will now make my wife very happy and promise to stop doing that.

That's right, they made a sequel to Postal. I am so happy.
Coming this April.

An Albanian man smokes a cigarette as his wife carries hay alongside the national road in near Elbasan, near the capital of Tirana February 24, 2003. In rural Albania, tradition dictates that women to do all the house chores with men never helping as this is seen to be a sign of weakness.

I spent a lot of time this weekend reading the latest Acid Logic. The "All Politics" issue covers Fox News, Bush's penis size and has an interesting, if rambling, discussion of the most bad ass redneck on the planet, Fred Thompson.
If you are not so into the political scene, My So-called Penis is a hilarious view into the mind of a man who has obviously misplaced his medication.

I really hate the real posters these are based on. I cannot stand the shiny happy people that buy this crap and insist on putting them up in the hallways and meeting rooms at work. I wish I had the stones to buy one of the funny ones and replace the picture of those fucking skydivers.

America's purpose is more than to follow a process, it is to acheive a result. The end of the civilized world.

A reader, Jen, sent me two more fantasy racing links:

Thanks, I just signed up for both.

Oh Lord, Why did I pick Todd Bodine?
The NASCAR season has finally begun and I could not be happier about it. I have found, though, that watching hours of Speed Channel, watching practice and qualifying, paying close attention to the Truck and Busch series and even finding the 1986 First Union 400 from North Wilkesboro on ESPN Classic was not enough. I still needed more.
I have signed up for the free fantasy racing from Yahoo Sports, The Sporting News and ThatsRacin.com.
If you are similarly afflicted and have a team of your own or know of any other free fantasy leagues, please let me know at blindingnervepain@operamail.com, maybe we can put our teams in the same division.

I love HI Q
John H. Conway, probably best known as the creator of the Game of Life, is responsible for a number of key results that have contributed to important advances in the field of Combinatoric Game Theory over the last decades. In this presentation, he discusses a number of these theories, and shows how they enable adults to excel at well-known children games, such as HARE-AND-HOUNDS, DOTS-AND-BOXES, PEG SOLITAIRE/HI Q, SPROUTS, etc. From the Game Developers Conference 2002.
Watch the video or listen to the MP3 stream.
I quoted the text from the ddj site, but I added the links. I was a big fan of HI Q as a kid and I played the other games, just under different names. I had no idea that there was so much intellectual mumbo jumbo behind some pegs and some dots.
A Question
Why do people with really bad teeth insist on walking around with their mouths hanging open?
I ask this because I have seen a number of people today that would make British people say "I say, you have some messed up teeth."
I would like to suggest that if you have several missing teeth up front, teeth that go in opposing directions or are arranged shark-like in multiple rows, please keep your mouth shut. At least cover it up with your hand or something. Have some respect for the rest of us who just ate.

Used Race Tire from Jeff Gordon's Car.
I have no idea which is more insane, that they sell these or that I really, really want one! These things are $375 each new. A bargain at only $30.
If you have a lot of extra cash lying around, you could buy a Terry Labonte body from 1999 for only $7,500.

KINETIC CULTURE, EVERYDAY DAMAGE, WORTHWHILE CAUSES & ASSORTED STRANGENESS
Wanna see something really scary?
Losman's Lair of Horror has reviews for every horror movie ever made. Not just the Frankenstein or Scream variety, but the really sick shit. Videodrome, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Begotten, Welcome to the Dollhouse and my least favorite movie of all time, Doom Generation.
I am going to have nightmares just thinking about some of what I read there.
Enjoy!
Some perspective
Seven people died this morning over Texas. There is already so much wailing and gnashing of teeth and making of little 'In Memoriam' gifs and people remembering where they were when they heard the news that I felt some perspective was needed.
18 Die As Bomb Destroys Bridge
At least 30 people die in train crash
Ah, but those were all brown people far away, so I guess we won't cry over them.
How about we get a little closer to home.
114 people died yesterday in Car Accidents
216 people died yesterday from Hospital acquired infections
Guns and AIDS also take a chunk of us every day.
My point? Other than this being a big explosion you can see on TV, this is no different from all of those other people who die today. Whether they have their heads halfway through a windshield, a sucking chest wound from a stray bullet or are spread across Palestine, Texas, some humans died and we should show them the respect they deserve for attaining that state. Nothing more.
And a lot of those that are crying about this don't even support the space program.
One more thing, they were not HEROES. This is the story of a hero.
Please let me backup my DVD's
DVD rot and more DVD rot.
