Battlestar Erotica ?

Battlestar Galactica. I know, I hate the orginal 70’s show, who doesn’t? It was the largest pile of crap I’ve ever seen. Inbreeds and Psychotic fucks loved it, but other then that, its even worse then Ren&Stimpy, and I -hate- that show.
But this one has something the 70’s version didnt..

Yes, Tricia Helfer.
“We realized the only way we could improve on the original is if the Cylons could have sex,” quipped co-executive producer David Eick at Tuesday night’s Los Angeles premiere. The chrome-domed “walking toasters” from the original TV series are succeeded by — well, really hot blond chicks, who infiltrate human society to engineer its doom.
One of the newly humanized enemy androids, Number Six, is played by former Victoria’s Secret model Tricia Helfer (so that’s Victoria’s big secret! — we always knew there was a sinister purpose behind those ubiquitous catalogs). While in the throes of sex, her spine glows a luminescent, otherworldly, X-ray crimson.
Episode No. 1 of the two-part miniseries, which debuts Dec. 8, explodes with a jaw dropper of a scene that blends Cylon eroticism with equal parts pants-wetting apocalyptic terror and blast-tacular deep-space warfare. None of this should work, but under the nuanced direction of Michael Rymer, it does, spectacularly, and the rest of the episode never disappoints.


We aren’t Americans?

Canada’s View on Social Issues Is Opening Rifts With the U.S. (note: NYT reg. required)
“Being attached to America these days is like being in a pen with a wounded bull,” Rick Mercer, Canada’s leading political satirist, said at a recent show in Toronto. “Between the pot smoking and the gay marriage, quite frankly it’s a wonder there is not a giant deck of cards out there with all our faces on it.”
There are people out there who think Canada should be attacked like the US was, so that we could know how it feels. But that’s sort-of impossible. Nobody hates us.


Yes, I worked there.

Ok, So I worked at burger king for a while after I got out of college, a lot of people look down on that kind of work, I don’t.
It’s good solid work, and it paid the bills while I was job hunting. I know people in the fast food world making 13$ an hour to sling fries. They don’t have to deal with downsizing, or the instability to the technical world.
Hell, with the way that North Americans eat, they probally have the most jobs security of any of us.
So, yea, here, take it, and feel bad, you bastards.


Flute Stuff

What in the name of hell is Flute Oil?
Well, i’ll find out in 6-8 weeks, won’t I.


Could it be!

Wow, Canada finally has its own evil spam sites!
I must investigate this more, maybe they just made a typo.


hot girl-on-girl gridiron action!


This Super Bowl halftime, make it to the Lingere Bowl. American TV hits a new low by inventing another sport along the lines of Foxy Boxing and Hot Oil Wrestling. The gridiron action features Team Dream vs. Team Euphoria (featuring washed-up former NFL players as coaches) in full contact football while wearing skimpy clothing. Even weirder, but there will be cheerleaders to cheerlead the players that are already dolled up to look like cheerleaders in some sort of subtle hot lesbian action. It’s all pay-per-view, but this “Girls Gone Football” seems more like a new low than a step forward for real women’s sports.


Ok..

Yea, Wal-Mart is the devil. It’s a place where you can be crushed half to death, beaten up for a tv, and be pulled into jury duty. All in one qucik stop.
Oh, and yea, fucking ouch.


Damn it.

Ok, So I slightly screwed up last night.
While hiding Jenns presents in the Magic Green Tote last night, I got busy removing stickers. I should have double checked to make sure I collected all of them at the end, because apparently I stuck the price sticker for a DVD I boguht Jenn on her desk.
She found it about 20 minutes ago, and called me laughing so hard she was almost crying.
I love you sweetie, now stfu with the laughing :p
heh


64k Demos – The Project

I’ve gotten 300 hits in the past week just for info on 64k Demos. Actually, I know why. If you do a search in Google for 64k demos, I’m #1.
Leet, so to whore more free advertising.. 64k demos rock


Fucktard

Well, I told you those guys with saws looked like fucktards, but insane fucktards? Damn, or is it a case where guy can’t even show up for his job as a municipal tree cutter drunk and holding a loaded shotgun?


The anti-script

This shit is wacked. I love it. Basically think of it as a script to use when talking to telemarketing people. Here it is in PDF form (Requires AdobeAcrobat), but theres a link at the bottom for a more viewable form.
The Direct Marketing sector regards the telephone as one of its most successful tools. Consumers experience telemarketing from a completely different point of view: more than 92% perceive commercial telephone calls as a violation of privacy.
Telemarketers make use of a telescript – a guideline for a telephone conversation. This script creates an imbalance in the conversation between the marketer and the consumer. It is this imbalance, most of all, that makes telemarketing successful. The EGBG Counterscript attempts to redress that balance


Evil

Oh Christmas Joy, more crap to waste time during the holidays while waiting for the fat man to give me goodies.


The Booze Rules

Modern Drunkard’s 86 Rules of Boozing.
12. Never, ever tell a bartender he made your drink too strong.
Knowing bartenders, and having them mix drinks ‘special’ for me, has gotten in a lot of trouble, but yet I obey the rules too.


Roy tells Mikey to eat a dick

Roy Disney has resigned from the Disney Board of Directors, and has sent a scathing email to Michael Eisner explaining, in detail, exactly why he’s leaving the company his uncle founded. The old man has a serious set of brass balls.
1. The failure to bring back ABC Prime Time from the ratings abyss it has been in for years and your inability to program successfully the ABC Family Channel. Both of these failures have had, and I believe will continue to have, significant adverse impact on shareholder value.
2. Your consistent micro-management of everyone around you with the resulting loss of morale throughout the Company.
3. The timidity of your investments in our theme park business. At Disney’s California Adventure, Paris and now in Hong Kong, you have tried to build parks “on the cheap” and they show it and the attendance figures reflect it.


Rogers

Back in the day, I would have just walked over and taken a hatchet to rogers fibre setup. I think I’ve matured.


Rogers is evil.

Roger’s Internet is the Devil.
Got through this morning to a tech support guy who was familiar with the term “cisco” in a way most of them aren’t, ie, he actually knew what a router was.
Rogers internet has taken to dissabling accounts which abuse their informal quotas. Yea, rogers now has quotas, informally of course. Due to massive abuse of the system, they’ve decided to exploit a loophole in their EUA.
“Unlimited Internet Service” now refers only to the fact that you can be connected 24/7. ie, The connection is unlimited, but the bandwidth is limited.
I’ve had rogers dissconnect me a -lot- due to this, and have had a few calls at work from rogers security about it. Wondering if I had a virus that was using all the bandwidth, or if i was just abusing it. They then informed me of how little bandwidth each node has, and that if I and 1-2 other rogers customers in my area are all using our rogers connection to the full usage which we pay for, then it means there isnt any bandwidth for anybody else. The needs of the may, etc etc.
Their soloution? dissconnect me constantly at 2-3 am so that I’ll stop.
Ugh. Well, if I didn’t know somebody at rogers, my account would already have been dissabled without notice.


Annessa

I wonder what fresh hell I have unearthed in my posting to an external site..
We shall see, won’t we?
Oh, and feel free to leave a comment if you werre referred here, I’m all about new blood. It’s quite tastey with sponge cake.


Double Fantasy

Double Fantasy, the album John Lennon autographed for his assassin just five hours before the former Beatle was killed went up for sale on Friday for $525,000.
Wow, its good to know states evidence can make a tidy profit.
Oh, and orgasmatron


bah!

Rumors are circulating regarding Richard Donners return to the superman project, but theyre just that.
Although, I am following this site fairly closely.
I just hope I don’t have another piece of my childhood sold to the director who promises the highest grossing revenue with the lowest cost.


Space TV

More in regards to this. I’m still pissed, but at least I’m not the only one. Richard Donner was on space last night in one of their 10 minute interviews/pieces of filler.
They were interviewing this legendary man about some of his films.. then they got to talking about the new superman. He wasn’t happy. Should we blame him for being upset? Hell no. If you’re going to do a remake of a film by a legendary team, thats cool, shows they did a great job, and its a bit of an honor.
Unless that legendary team is still alive and kicking and more then willing to do the remake.
With “McG” doing the film. I’m not going to even go and watch it. I think Mr. Donner won’t be either. He’s very upset with the big WB, and would like to make a Superman film that would be mroe relevant to today, you know, with the US burning their own constitution (and the rest of the world in the process) and all that jazz.


Mmm Hairy Titties

What in the name of sweet merciful crap is this?.
Seriously, I don’t get it, Little Red Riding Hood danceing with huge-titted and generously-testicled furry woodland creatures?
Dude, only in Japan would this be something advertising a construction firm.


All your base are belong to us.

All your base.
Figured I’d go old school, and throw some annoying crap from the past year or so at you.
Consider yourself lucky I didn’t embed this swf into the page like I wanted to.


More Tweaks

I’m still tweaking the site apparenrlty, got the new dynamic “Now Playing” tweak up and running, next thing was the weather, which is done too.
Now to get down to futureshop


And then!

Working on an mp3/wma/cd track/etc display unit, you’ll notice it coming soon.
