Ebay, dork dating service
Match.com, Nerve.com and all those other on-line dating services have nothing on Ebay.
What's the consensus on all those online dating services anyway? I notice a ton of advertising dollars being sunk into them, in an effort to dispel the stigma they have. Is this the next step in America's sexual revolution? Or is it a sad attempt to turn a profit on love (or desperation)?

cable schmable
I was having a conversation with lizz a day or two ago about how stealing cable is, in fact, theft. She disagreed. I make no judgement on that behavior or its morality. Actually, I might have done it in the past. What does everyone think?
...and who knows about descrambler boxes?

Darwinian selection
from the Daily Record:
A man in Uttar Pradesh, India, burned down his house trying to kill a mouse. Ranvir Singh tied a burning cloth to the rat's tail, but it escaped and set the house ablaze.
seems like a likely case of darwinian home improvement.

president
i don't know if you guys are really thinking about the 2004 elections, but i am. a lot. all the damn time. anyway, this is my pick of the lot... and he's got integrity and isn't afraid to show it. and politically, he's dreamy.

Hmm...
Is this what we missed by not going to a state school? Maybe we did make a mistake after all ...

My Face
Just figured that I would add to the craziness of these times.
Have you guys ever wondered what I might look like if I were mugged for the $20 in my wallet and not the $2000 laptop on my person at 8:30 pm on Friday night on a busy street?
some crappy crappy news
i suppose this is as good a forum as any to let everyone know that my mom is very sick. she had a very serious stroke last weekend and has had brain surgery.
its a very dicey time right now, but if we can get through the next 10 or so days without serious complications, the long term prognosis is very good (walking and talking and analyzing and pasta making, etc.)
you all know how close my family is, and as you can imagine, we are all having a really tough time. that being said, her doctors are among the best in the world, and they are all feeling quite optimistic (albiet somewhat cautiously.)
i probably won't be returning a lot of phone calls or anything for a while, but i just wanted all you folks to know.

it doesn't seem to be coming up bendich these days.
god's wounds, mr. johnnycake on the web. Very clever, Jason.
For those of you who did the reading, this is the aforementioned Old Gay Bendich, coming to you from New York City, the capital of very little worthwhile indeed. Cheers to all.
To compress the past into a sizzle: Michigan scan brains quarter year, new york teach school full year plus, duke fi come math school next year straight up. And down, as Win used to digress. I remember when I could speak the King's English. Many of you are to blame for my decline/ascension.
But for the nonce, I do seem to be here. In lieu of flowers, send flowers to:

good friday
in honor of christ, i propose this question...
you have the ability to make water into wine... is it only wine? could it be whiskey? and is it good wine? what if you had the ability to make wine but it was only livingston cellars or mad dog?
scenario:
"hey guys! i can conjure up more wine for your wedding"
"we don't want mad dog."

Hell on network
Okay, so that Honda commercial is very cool... now lets look at something that's close to hell on earth.

not much to say - haven't seen it on tv yet so I thought it worth a post:

Down with the false idols!
I think that the time has come to sweep easter clean of secular references. Jesus Christ, or as my coworkers refer to him, "JC", demands that the easter bunny pay for his crimes. Obviously this drunk and stupid man has heard the call and smote the evil impostor who was trying to steal the glory of the lord. I recommend that you all go out and find a similar mascot and hurt them as well. We can coordinate on here and then strike in force so they can't catch us all.
It might be a good idea to form mascot eliminating sleeper cells. Eventually we will stem the tide.

oh fudgebucket!
jp, you're a hard man to follow. so i'm going to be as shallow as possible in order to keep things light. this article makes me depressed enough to drown my sorrows in a gallon of ice cream and 6 stuffed pizzas. just kidding. i hate ice cream. and i'm no longer a child.

The Manhattan Steamer
Check this out. The FCC
Click on the "Apparent Notice of Liability" for WKRK-FM.
Skip the legalese unless you enjoy that and read throught the transcript of the offending program.
I'd like to let it be known that I think bodily functions are funny. Sex is funny too.
However sex involving violence/and/or feces is not funny. Obviously that's just my opinion.
The more important question is: Should shock-jocks talk about things like the Manhattan Steamer in the middle of the day when kids could be listening and get nothing but a slap on the wrist?
If you're into it, read the dissenting opinion at the end. The guy brings up a good point. The public is basically subsidizing these guys ability to talk about shitsex(I'm working on a patent, so be careful on your usage) on the air in the middle of the day because the public owns the spectrum on which they broadcast.
Personally I feel like the FCC should flex and shut this station down. Or at least BAN these two jocks from the airwaves permanently.
Thoughts?

okay boys, do your boy thing...
i need advice. i'm looking into buying a game console.
however, as a lady i like lady games and would probably prefer the happy fun bunny sunshine types available on a game cube, which comes with a free game and they have a new zelda. new zelda! and metroid! (but john reminded me that metroid is now available on ps2.) and what i really want, anyway, is a dvd player. so i could go and spend that hundo and get my dvd fix and then go get a cube when i can better afford it so i can play zelda zelda zelda all day all night nasty of all time.
but the dilemma is... should i just break down and get a ps2?
is the ps2 a better deal?
does the game cube have decent games?
which is more fun?
