Fagged Out & Sold Out

Had to sell some advertising to offset operating costs.

The late Dr. Jazs advises: "Don't let too much coffee fag you out!"

What a whore.

Getting Our Money's Worth

Picasa Check

We shelled out US$5.00 for 20 GB, for a yr., not a bad deal (Maybe. How the fuck would we know? Even if a complete rip-off, the desk-top publishing convenience is worth it.) & no drawback to it beyond Google now having our debit card info, legal name, address & the like. Meaning the Federal Gov't. knows it all too. Come & get us, Feds, before we again advocate armed rebellion against fascist bullshit!!

Tree from East

None of the promised up-to-24-hr. delay. Let's see how many of those 51 shots we can shove in here.

Could be us. Instead, we can afford 20GB of storage w/o foraging for recyclables. Whew.

So far so good. Three studies in pollutants:

Bomb Newt Now!

Crap, we hope it isn't too much trouble for Bugger™ to allow us to copy some shit.

Newt Gingrich has apparently thought better of using this Pearl Harbor Day to sell books.

Mediaite reported the former speaker of the House has deleted a tweet that reminded his Twitter followers about the two World War II novels he has co-written:

The 69th anniversary of the japanese attack is a good time to remind folks of our novels pearl harbor and days of infamy newt.

The tweet disappeared after blogs including Gawker mocked Gingrich for trying to "cash in" on the day of remembrance.

Hmm. That worked.

Words & Their Worth*

Wandered out on a butt runfor cigarettes & managed to snap 51 pics. The very best A fewNONE are seen below.

Guess the party's over at Blogspot/Blogger.

File under: Self-pity, mawkish, & Christmas, merry fucking.

*Yes, running our photos at their huge original sizes might not have been the wisest move, but what can we expect when we merely tried to provide a fine product w/o consideration for profit, health, or anything but our dedication to faceless unknowns who occasionally leave comments from the mists of nowhere.

P.S.: These three were the last allowed. (Rendering "NONE" up there a little heated. Whatev.)

Economy still on upswing.

So, not missing that much.

Vicious Downward Spiral

We get up every afternoon w/ a sense of purpose, hope & renewal.* Then our expectations are, once again, dashed on the rocks. We really must be mental if we continue to expect a different result from the same action.

*Approximation for "literary" purposes.

Boredom & Dullness Index

Oaktown 28, Dago 13

Violating Disney & NFL copyrights. No respect at all.

12 players on the field on two consecutive plays. (A possible first in the NFL.) Way to go, 'Blots [sic].

Bottom Ten Losers

Conveniently, there was an un-official Chump Bowl to determine the biggest collegiate loser.

Pro ha ha:

Mr. Versatile: Minnehaha quarterback Brett Favre's 10-yard run against Washington marked the first time he had gained more than four yards on a carry since 2008.

Bottom Ten Winners

Proud to see Modesto & Merced book-ending the bottom ten of the 200 least-cretinous locales in these United Snakes.

Texas looking to be a strong second, state-wise.

Textual Obsessive

Soon To Be A Regular Feature: Today's Personal Obituary

Why not to leave your bunker: We were informed today that a woman who'd been a friend since 1988 or '89 (& a sexual associate, if you know what we mean, from 1990 to '93) died in a fire early Hallowe'en morning.

Even as a mutual friend told us she'd come home early that Sunday morning & gone to sleep not long before the fire (As we assume it's assumed: Who can ever know what happened?) we had the thought that a cigarette might have caused the blaze (Shame on us!) but newspaper reports indicate crummy housing for people who work for a living:

a garage-turned-apartment that caught fire, apparently from combustible materials left next to a water heater, officials said

Not the first garage-turned-apartment she'd lived in.

And the first person w/ whom we'd, you know, done it on a regular basis, or (not to get carried away here) even "had a relationship," to have died. Of whom we know, one or two having fallen off the radar, if not the ends of the earth.

Crap. Just occurred to me she would have hit 54 w/in a very few days, though I can't remember the exact day just now. Fuck you, universe.

As w/ many reptilians, it can take some time for us to warm to the point where we can locate the mockable on the world wide shit chute.

Today, once we were at that point, we were screwed.

Admiral Mike Murder Opens Fat Yap, Shit Issues Forth

Having heard ex-AK Gov. Sarah Palin (Most of whose raison d'être comes from how much animal blood she can get on her paws.) & professional baby-killer Mike Mullen screech about Julian Assange's bloody hands,

"Mr. Assange can say whatever he likes about the greater good he thinks he and his source are doing, but the truth is they might already have on their hands the blood of some young soldier or that of an Afghan family," Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at a news conference at the Pentagon.

(HOW MUCH FUCKING BLOOD DOES THE CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS HAVE ON HIS MOTHERFUCKING HANDS? MULLEN, YOU SICK, SICK FUCK, LOOK IN A MIRROR BEFORE WE GET YOUR HYPOCRITICAL BLOOD ON OUR HANDS!!) we were going to type something yada hypocrites yada.

Someone else noticed, & saved us the trouble.

I deposited this money with a Red Cross Agent informing him that we are making contact for the real owner of the money and it is under my power to approve whoever comes forth for the money. 
 
I want to invest the money in a good business as soon as I am redeploy , anyway you will advice me on that since I am not a business person.I am an American and an intelligence officer for that so I have a 100% authentic means of transferring the money through diplomatic courier service .I just need your acceptance and all is done.

Where we are now we can only communicate through our military communication facilities that are secured so nobody can monitor our emails, then I can explain in details to you. I will only reach you through email, because our calls might be monitored, I just have to be sure whom I am dealing with.

I am writing from a fresh email account so if you are not interested do not reply to this email and please delete this message, if no response after 3days I will then search for someone else. 
 
I wait for your contact details so we can go into action. In less than 5days, the money should have been in your position and I will come over for my money. I will give to you 40% of the sum and 60% is for me because I know that nothing goes for nothing I hope I am been fair to you.

Not A Typical Experience

A commenter whom we had mocked (Just a little, & ourself as well.) advised us that bus trips in a city that shall remain nameless allow him to do silly stuff on his "lucked into" laptop. (We'll assume this means he gets to sit.) Not so much in the Media Capital of the Known Universe. We don't have any photos of the usual bus expedition we make (Just as soon not have the soul-stealing box ripped from our hands & whatever/anything.) but our Circadian rhythm usually has us on the streets/public transportation around afternoon rush hour, when the buses don't look at all like this:

LACMTA Line 201, Thanksgiving 2010, 1703PT.

(A low-ridership line. We were surprised it wasn't cancelled in the latest round of fiscal austerity & making-working-people-suffer MTA service reductions.)

No Exit

Shut Your Self-Righteous Gob, Already

This schtick of Sullivan's is getting to be even more tiresome than our non-stop screeching for attention via threats of physical violence & general obscenity, profanity & nihilism.

You know, the "Gosh, Republicans are scum, but real conservatism, yada." Latest example:

This is not conservatism, properly understood, a disposition that respects the institutions and traditions of government, that can give as well as take, that seeks the national interest before partisan concerns, and that respects both the other branches of government and seeks to work with them. These people are not conservatives in this core civilized sense; they are partisan vandals.

Christ on a crutch, is he blind & illiterate? Has he no idea? These idealized reactionaries he gets so misty-eyed about never existed, other than in the writings of whichever 20th century hacks he seems to worship. (Oakeshott? Yes. Note the absolute meaninglessness of the title of Sullivan's blather that he pimps on his page: Intimations Pursued: The Voice of Practice in the Conversation of Michael Oakeshott. If you don't have it right by now, no amount of practice will help you.)

Not such a surprise, considering Sullivan hasn't yet been able to realize that a gawd that allows his/"His" Roman Catholic Church to perpetuate its evil is as much a monster as any child-molesting priest, & neither bogus institution is worth five minutes of any one's attention.

Maybe Sully wants to be an American because he knows that people voting against their own interests are a significant group in these United Snakes, & he can pander to them more successfully & for much longer than he could get away w/ the schtick in the UK.

Last line of the item applies almost universally.

But I cannot, alas, say I am surprised. The degeneracy has been building for a long time. It is just the stench of it right now that overwhelms the nostrils.

Applies to you too, Andrew. Mostly the stench of "enough, already, & climb off your high horse."
