I went to bed at about 8pm last night for a 'nap'. I woke up this morning at about 6am. What. The. Fuck. The only possible answer is that I'm psychically stealing xianvox's sleep-ration. | | Tuesday, May 19th, 2009 | | 4:00 pm |

Swine Flu in CA It's Too Late - CDC says Swine Flu is unstoppable. Madagascar has not yet closed its borders, so there may still be hope. ( Read more... )If society collapses, we must reform civilization. I suggest Live Oak Campground - it's quite nice, and there are turkeys to eat. Bring guns and ammo. | | Tuesday, April 7th, 2009 | | 4:20 am |
Erm... so... I'm working. Yeah, I know, it's late. But here's some links to The Meteors, a U.K. psychobilly band. Have I posted them before? ( Read more... ) | | Monday, April 6th, 2009 | | 3:06 pm |

genius.
From a random Reddit comment. "No elected representative should make more than the mean income of their electoral district. It gives them an incentive to work harder for the interests of their constituents." fucking. brilliant. And now I leave for BSG. | | Thursday, March 19th, 2009 | | 4:42 pm |

Worst. Show. Ever. boffo posts really bad TV shows, and since I don't watch TV (except for BSG), I usually get my conversational tidbits and google fodder from his links. However, a co-worker just informed me of my latest candidate for Worst Show Ever. I present to you. Surprise Wedding. "On Surprise Wedding five women brought their long term boyfriends who weren't quite ready to commit to Las Vegas, Nevada, where they thought they were going to take part in a makeover show. Once there, the men were shocked to realize they were tricked, and their girlfriends were actually trying to get them to marry them in front of a television audience."
I guess this only ran for a few episodes in 2000-2001 but it's proving particularly hard to find online. Not that I care to hunt it down too deeply. The best part is the potential for serious lulz - each guy gets a "30 second" dial-a-friend call before being forced into a decision. Apparently every guy called either a friend or a relative to ask advice. I'm practically speechless with how terrifyingly crazy someone would have to be to 'surprise' their significant other with a live TV proposal.

Our network programmer just used his mac text-to-speech to read back our entire profanity filter list. My chest hurts and my eyes are crying from laughing. | | Thursday, March 5th, 2009 | | 1:54 pm |
