Family Guy’s jokes are usually pretty contrived, and one can usually see them coming from six blocks away. But sometimes they’re done so awesomely that one has to admire them. Like this. Anyway, this was supposed to be a day for me to get all kinds of stuff done, but I had to sit around […]
What a lazy layabout I am. Also, I am a nerdy neerdowell, a silly scofflaw and a mischievous malcontent. And I have had a day of fun with my two very old computers. One of these I have had since 1998. The other is a recent acquisition, courtesy of Uncle Furry. Thanks Uncle Furry! First, […]
So, there’s another day wasted. All I did today was read news, funny stuff and assorted articles on Wikipedia while I played Civilization II. I’m Russian. Actually, in real life my dad is an ethnic German Russian. A Volga German. So I do claim a certain affinity with things Russian. Especially this: Okay, so I […]
I got off work at 2:30pm today. And that’s a good thing because I’m mentally and physically exhausted from Wednesday… and the rest of the week too. But mostly Wednesday. What a fucking day. And Wednesday is in honour of our god Odin. Praise be to him! You see, Odin had some crows to help […]
Would you believe that this is the top search for Bob Marley songs on YouTube? I bet you would, after listening to this song. You don’t even need to be high on pot to feel good while listening to this song. I’m really tired right now so I’m going to bed very soon. But I […]
I’m gonna tell a tale now about boids. Smaht boids. Why can’t I ever find that Far Side comic online? You know, the one where the police are gathered around Big Bird’s lifeless body and the detective is examining the bullets on the floor and he says “Bird shot. Big bird shot.” I wish I […]
I don’t really know what this song is about. Actually, it’s about 10 minutes. <rimshot> Also, here’s a joke. Two drums and a cymbal fall off a cliff. <rimshot> Enough buffoonery. Let’s get down to brass tax. Or is that brass tacks? I’m not sure. See, I’ve had my cough return to me today, even […]
YEEEEEHAW!!!!! Here’s a live rendition of this song because that’s all I could find. Now… I’m not a fan of Country Music. However, this band allows all kinds of exceptions. These guys are fucking brilliant, and they make a very enjoyable Hillbilly/Gospel/Punk kind of mix with as much wit, heart and soul as you could […]
This is a kind of bittersweet song. You could see for yourself what I mean had the copyright cartels not removed the official video from YouTube. Listen to the music at the above link, but ignore the graphics because it was uploaded by spammers. Pretty fucking sad when we have to rely on spammers to […]
I’ve still got that 10 year old Thinkpad. And I’m still enjoying it. Here’s a status update for those of you waiting breathlessly for such information. This puppy now dual boots both Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows 98 SE. That’s a month-old operating system coupled with a 12 year old operating system on a 10 year […]
I’m losing my GRip. My GRip ain’t what it used to be. I just can’t GRip any more. All these idiotic puns refer to the great Linux application “GRip”. That stands for Gnome Rip. Gnome being the popular Linux desktop environment and Rip being what you do to CDs instead of playing them now. Back […]
Since I couldn’t fend off this bloody flu virus by myself, I went out and got me some antibiotics. Big yellow pills – 20 of them. And I have to take them in 10 days. Now, you might be wondering why I titled this stupid blog post with that stupid pun. Well, I’m glad you […]
The Flu that Wouldn’t Die! Verrry Scarrry! Yes, it’s back. It never really went away, and now I’m toasting my sneezes, my coughing and my runny nose with more cough syrup. I haven’t had anything stick around this long since I had Bronchitis. Bleh.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to search YouTube for a song called “Radio” by a band called Copyright? It’s hard. And I didn’t spend a lot of time trying to find a link. This is what the search is like. So, if you’ve ever heard this song, just hum it in […]
So I read this morning that Microsoft will end support for Windows XP SP2 on July 13th of this year. That happens to be what I’m running on my only two Windows installations that have access to the internet. One is my laptop, and the other is a virtual XP installation running inside VirtualBox here […]
As part of my ongoing quest to experience the unmitigated awesome that is the Windows 3.1 operating system, I have acquired an old laptop. Thanks, Uncle Furry. ;) It’s from the heady year of 2000, which was once a large-looming “FUTURE” but is now, like, ten years ago. And it has Windows 98 already on […]
Videos are stupid. Just look at this one. Maybe you don’t see it. That’s okay, I’m a little weird. I don’t like TV or movies. And videos. But look at that hair. Yikes! This is a good song however. Just don’t pay too much attention to the lyrics. It’s Sammy Hagar, for crying out loud. […]
Yesterday was an odd day. There’s an old saying in Calgary…. “If you don’t like the weather in Calgary, wait 5 minutes.” How very true. Yesterday, while I was at work, I opened a bay door to see that the sun was out for the first time in days. It has been unseasonably cold and […]
“Sexdroids in Space” is now up at SpaceBabe Central. At least the first 5 pages are. I’m honored to have it appear on that site, since that is how I found Predator and Simon Wright when I commissioned my first comic. I really like the animated gif in the top right corner at SBC. “She […]
How do I do this song justice in one of my crappy “Song of the Day” posts? I guess I don’t. I originally intended these posts to be discussions of the song, its meaning, its tune, its structure. Instead, I provide a YouTube link and make lame jokes. Part 1 Part 2 Pee pee poo […]
This is the third time that as I have felt better, the fucking flu came back hard to make sure I didn’t feel better. Fuck the fucking flu. Also, fuck the fucking Pope.
I’ve read that this latest release is buggy. And I’ve also read that it’s got an “unfinished feel”, especially for a Long Term Release. And from what my own experience with it tells me, I would have to agree. I mentioned earlier how I downloaded the beta and installed it on my netbook. That went… […]
I’m still thrilled with the way my second comic, “Sexdroids in Space” turned out. I pronounce it to be the most awesome thing ever in the history of everything. Ever. And to show just what a great job the artist and the colourist did at rendering the characters, I now present the models on which […]
Don’t ask me what this song is about. Because if you did, I’d probably say something silly like it’s about a guy who thinks he’s the messiah and ends up leading his followers to a battle in which they are slaughtered. Oh, and he sees Jesus right around then. I don’t know if I’m right. […]
… so very tired. This flu is overstaying it’s welcome.
The flu decided to come back and hit me hard again today, and I have to get to bed real soon. So there won’t be any funny postiness tonight.
I just thought like saying that. That’s German for “Attention!”. And “Rauchen verboten” means “Smoking forbidden”. So, like, if you’re German, don’t fucking smoke when you read this blog. I don’t care. Smoke em if you got em. But no pie. Remember that episode of The Flintstones where Fred dressed up like a king and […]
So I just read my new comic… for the first time actually just reading it for fun, and not proofreading and looking for things to fix and things I need to change… and HOLY CRAP do I ever like it! Wow, it’s like someone drew exactly what I wanted to see! So goes the statement […]
Up here in Canada, taxes are due on April 30. I have never had to pay a significant amount, because my paycheques usually have slightly more than needed deducted from them. Last year I got about $70 back, which is about what I usually get. This year I will be filing them late. I can […]
Last year I worked my self literally to exhaustion. I had to take a medical leave of absence from work and I had to get my heart checked out. Luckily, it was just exhaustion and I’m a pretty healthy feller. In any case, I got rewarded for all the very hard work I do, and […]
So I have the fucking flu. It’s ruined my day, and might possibly screw up my plans for my long weekend. I booked Monday off so I could get some personal stuff done, but so far I haven’t even done a proper vegetation day. Usually on Saturday I do laundry, play video games and drink […]
I guess it’s Earth Day today. Or was that yesterday? Meh. This whole week is merging into one long mess of too much work. And I even had a day off on Monday. Bleh. I love how the environmental message in the corporate media is “You can make a difference” when the biggest polluters and […]
Grate, just grate. Nay – crate. Here’s a poem that will probably not make sense to anyone but me. As fast as I can fill them up The hill takes on a steep incline And when at last I see the top Down rolls this boulder fiend of mine And years ago did I reverse […]
I’ve had this song in my head all day. And not because it’s 4/20 today, appropriate as that is. You may not know this, but Bob Marley was known to partake of the marijuana cigarettes now and again. Yes, it’s true. And here in 2010 I am displeased to report that consumption and sale of […]
I tend not to watch T.V. And thus, I tend not to watch Saturday Night Live. But I found this on Reddit this morning and it’s fucking hilarious. Now, I’m no fan of Insane Clown Posse. I am not a Juggalo. I don’t know any Juggalos, and I’m not so sure we even have them […]
Alright then, lets get some things out of the way first. Yes, this song makes me think about female androids. She’s electric, ya know. Now that we’ve settled that, there’s another issue that demands our attention. You may find this hard to believe but… Oasis are NOT The Beatles. I think this fact may only […]
Okay… FUCK Lemmy. He’s a fucking bitch-ass POSER! YEAH! Now this is what Rock N’ Roll is all about. Shatner is the man. And he took us all back to school to learn how to rock good with his 1968 album “The Transformed Man”. It is an odyssey on all that is Rock Awesomeness. It’s […]
“Hello Bitches!” Every song should start with those words! FUCK YEAH!!! And what a MEAN song today’s Song of the Day is. Who among us has honestly never thought of inflicting revenge upon someone? Okay, maybe just the androids. I hope there are androids out there… female androids who want to find me so they […]
Okay, this song isn’t one of my favorites. I do kind of like it… from a distance. I think I like the theme more than the music… if I twist that theme around a tad in my own way. More on that later. Heh heh… Moron. This is today’s “Song of the Day” because I’m […]
Grumble. Look at me complain! I do it well, so I will continue. I chose the job I have, and I can leave it whenever I want, I suppose. But I’ll still complain that there’s too much to do that I wouldn’t have to do if the people around me weren’t brain-dead. Okay, that’s an […]
How awesome is my hosting company? FUCKING EPIC AWESOME!!!! I went to the support page, described my problem and in UNDER TEN MINUTES they had it fixed. Sweeeeet. Okay, on with the funny story. My mother has a paper route. It is actually the same paper route that I had when I was a kid. […]
Well, I had a funny story to tell that required uploading a pic. I can’t upload pics, it seems. Hmmmm… off to contact Support I go.
Everybody celebrate! Why spend ALL that time using your turn signal when you can just skip it! Sometimes I think everyone around me is drinking bleach to get stupider on purpose. Actually, that’s almost an accurate statement. I’m cranky, tired and sore, so I’m going to get horizontal and attempt to lose consciousness. Wish me […]
Well, I did lots of stuff yesterday, so today was declared to be Vegetation Day. I accomplished not much more than sitting on my ass playing video games and reading. To be specific, I played another long round of Civilization 2 while I had my text-to-speech program read articles on Wikipedia about geological epochs. You […]
Well, I finally got around to checking out my new laserjet printer today. And I didn’t know this… but “LaserJet” is a trademark owned by Hewlett Packard. Meh. Well xerox my kleenex! So far I’ve printed only a test page from Ubuntu and a test page from Windows XP, but they look good. Now, if […]
Link to the song, before I forget to actually talk about it again. You can always count on Mayhem to get the party jumping! Yeah! Like KC and the Sunshine Band before them, they specialize in filling dance floors with disco dancers! Yeah! Actually, they’re slightly darker and edgier than KC and his Krew. Yeah. […]
Let’s try to write a Song of the Day post and forget that my head feels like it’s going to burst open! Yay! Today the weather changed drastically here. It went from early Spring pleasant to fucking South Pole blizzard in about an hour. And my head feels bad. :( But never mind that. Here […]
Yes, my slop is being nuked in the microwave as we speak! IT was either that or Wendy’s. Not healthy, but flavourful. I’m getting plenty of “exercise” at work lately. So I guess I can claim that I’m burning off the fat pretty fast. So on to things that aren’t high-sodium, high-fat, low-nutrient meals. Well […]
Well, it made ME feel better. Who agreed this 5 day on, 2 day off thing? Should be 4 days on, 3 days off. And no increase in hours during the week. There. I’ve spoken. And now, random paragraphs from random articles on Wikipedia. YAY! Since the Middle Ages, the seat of the Archbishop of […]
