More Silly South Park Renderings

My brother Flip and his wife, Beth...

My dad...

Every year, I tell myself that I'm not gonna get tripped out by all the completely insane Christmas shoppers, and I'm not gonna go out the day after Thanksgiving and shop... and it seems that for the past few years, the day after Thanksgiving, I have ended up in stores... surrounded by completely insane Christmas shoppers. Luckily this year, though, I got a chance to get a little bit of Christmas shopping done, like, right after Halloween... Why am I even talking about this? Well, I was out in the middle of Christmas shopping madness again this morning... and, well, they weren't as insane as right after Thanksgiving, but nonetheless... some people in full on Christmas shopping madness mode... and oh my GOD, the music that was playing in one of the stores I was in... quasi-hip-hop remakes of legitimate Christmas songs... I was thoroughly disgusted... I mean, if I'm gonna be forced to listen to Christmas songs, howsabout AT LEAST traditional versions? Britney Spears singing an incredibly shitty remake of "Silent Night" is not what I call a Christmas song (although, if you wanna stuff her in my stocking, that'd be cool).

Why does it feel like it's been forever since I've posted here? Oh, I see... because it has been forever since I've posted here... I have neglected this one a little in favor of my other one (the one that deals with music stuff)... But said neglect looks like it helped score me a job with AltarNative, an online music magazine, which is a very, VERY cool thing.

[NOTE: This is actually an earlier post I wanted to be back towards the top...]

I went and made myself and a bunch of friends into South Park characters.
Here's a few of them...

warm bodies, I sense

designed to make you high
I'll be along son
with words for a feeling and all I've discovered

old, bad eyes

on loneliness comes
go see the foreman, go see the profiteer
on loneliness drives
we're takin' our time movin' shit for this holy slime

old, bad eyes, almighty fear

the shepherd won't leave me alone
he's in my face and I
the shepherd of my days
and I want you here by my heart and my head,
I can't start till I'm dead

Okay, from the world of the twisted... was watching a friend play Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, earlier. At one point, he needs to get a car, so he decides to carjack a Bronco-type with two occupants... He pulls the driver out and jumps in. Usually, the passenger freaks and jumps out as you jump in. In this case, however, he sped off and the passenger remained... and sat there for the next few minutes screaming their lungs out in sheer terror as he drove around town. It was actually pretty amusing for quite a while... The new motorcycles are awesome... fun to try on some of the jumps, and there's two dirt bike tracks... not to mention that you can now rob jewelry stores, pay for protection, act as protection, buy property, fly helicoptors, planes, drive boats, run remote control car and helicoptor missions... crazy stuff, but the wailing unintentional hostage in the car has been the best thing, yet...

okay... juggle the soccerball...

When did Trick-or-Treat candy get so... small? I mean, when I was a kid, "bite-size" candy was at least two bites. Now you can get these little Three Musketeers things that don't even qualify as a bite... Tootsie Rolls were bigger... I don't think anybody gives out Rice Krispy Treats anymore (we had these three or four elderly couples when I was a kid that always had different candy for the "neighborhood kids," as opposed to the kids that were, like, bussed in from all over the place). So, that makes Reese's Cups (still) the big score on Beggar's Night...

This Saturday (November 2) will mark ten months (woohoo!) since I've had a cigarette... I miss it, but not really. For several months, every carry-out I passed, I had the split-second thoughts of, "Hey, I need a pack of cigarettes..." I only recently noticed that I don't do that, anymore... But what I do is dream about smoking. In my dreams, I often "sneak off" to smoke... and I always get busted by one of my friends, too... B-zar... As long as it's only in my dreams, I figure it's probably okay. :)

Recently, I saw a cab from Columbus way down here (100 miles, anyway) at a carry-out... I knew it was from Columbus because the phone number on the side was 444-4444. When I was younger and I used to always go to Columbus and hang out, I always got a kick out of the fact that one of the cab companies' numbers was 444-4444. I figure they were on to something, there. I wish MY number was 444-4444. Then, when people wanted to call me and asked what my number was, I could laugh like I did when I was younger and just say, "Fours..."

A really silly Friday Five. My answers are included...

1. What is your favorite scary movie?

That's easy... Hellraiser

2. What is your favorite Halloween treat?

"It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" - it is a treat...

3. Do you dress up for Halloween? If so, describe your best Halloween costume.

When I was younger, sure... My fave? When I went to a girlfriend's church Halloween function in high school dressed as a pimp... even better that I got her and one of her friends to dress as hoes...

4. Do you enjoy going to haunted houses or other spooky events?

No... Paying someone money to try to spook me or something is... a waste of good money...

5. Will you dress up for Halloween this year?

hmm... what's in it for me?

Okay... I just went and checked out this website... Rather interesting, but is it even remotely believeable? Well, fuck no, it's not... The first thing that popped to my attention is the negatives. They look to be singed/burnt/melted somewhat... There's something just very "not right" looking about them... once film has been heated (or even exposed to good ol' air), it becomes extremely brittle (numerous experiments with the flammability properties of different materials as a kid help me reach this conclusion - and as far as oxidation, go grab some relatively old negatives and see how far you can bend them before they just snap in two - well, okay... don't do that)... Some of it looks as if it was unrolled from the catch reel (possibly even developed first) and then heated... hmmm...

I don't think the "author" ever mentions his/her nationality, but I think it might be a bit obvious (to an American, anyway) early on that they are most likely NOT American, so if in the future they try to say they are, that would only go to add heaps to the sketchiness factor...

...not to mention the ultra-drama from the site "author..." - from sniffing the "explosive-like soot" to hacking to phone taps to black vans and all that good stuff... riveting, eh?

They go on and on about how what's in the images shows that something "big is about to take place," yet they also say that they are waiting to show them until said date to "help build momentum..." hmmm so, everybody needs to know about it but let's wait to show it...
Guess I'll just have to wait with the rest of us until March 8, 2003. It's probably gonna be something incredibly retarded, like a new cologne from Abercombie and Fitch or something, though... :)

[NOTE: haven't been able to run ANYTHING else down about it on the net... yet... will keep an eye out, though]

	This is Calvin... He's my buddy... He reminds me a lot of... well... me...

"...like a duck in a noose..."

Okay, I have been pretty silent about this issue because, well, it was just so whacked out... but for the first time since all the weirdness started a few weeks ago with this "serial sniper" person, we have a name - John Allen Williams, aka John Allen Muhammed... The chief was careful to warn the press "not to assume that Williams has anything to do with the shootings," but c'mon... let's be a little real, can we? The head of the sniper task force says he wants to talk to this guy, so... hmm... there's a federal arrest warrant for him on firearms charges... maybe he just sold the shooter the gun? Also worthy of note is the ol' "armed and dangerous" tag...

"We have caught the sniper like a duck in a noose..." - the words the sniper asked the chief of police say at the latest press conference (about fifteen minutes ago)... sounds like something to try to make the police force look stupid, maybe? i.e., could be a precursor for another shooting? Or just something to recognize... Maybe they will find him quickly, and he'll be their man...

*sigh* ...Jesus Tapdanicing Christ...

I decided I would be like everyone else and post one of those goofy tests on here... I took the "Which John Cusack Character Are You?" quiz, but I knew which one I was before I took the test... took it anyway and sure enough, I was Rob Gordon, the cat from High Fidelity. So, I took a geek quiz... the results:

You are 49% geek

You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator. Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend. You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You'll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines! Geek [to You]: I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals! You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.

shew!... 49%... I was prepared for worse... :)

...an observation...

Okay... besides Lynn Swann and Jack Arute, I think all the sideline correspondents at football games have become really gorgeous women... Melissa Stark (*meow*), Jill Arrington (*drool*), Bonnie Bernstein (*double drool*)... holy gees... I've heard people trying to give them shit for not knowing anything about football, or something... but c'mon, gimme a break... They all do a perfectly fine job to me (in fact, they ALL appear to be pretty well-schooled in the game), and besides, who really cares about what commentators say, anyway? I watch football to see football... and the cheerleaders and commentators and all that stuff is pretty much an afterthought... I certainly don't care what Deion Sanders is wearing, I don't even really care what Bonnie Bernstein is wearing... just bring on the run-blocking and the pass catching and the skull cracking and all that good stuff... If you don't think they know what they're talking about, mute it...

"Joe Dirt" AND "Pootie Tang" on at the same time... wrong time for my picture-in-picture to be broken, I guess...
What's better is what's on after "Joe Dirt" - "The Exotic Time Machine 2..." That's right, the first one was SO good that they made a sequel... Here's the description from the cable guide: "Two fearless time travelers enjoy erotic escapades with historical figures while trying to protect a futuristic government program..." hmmm... sounds like a winner... I'm trying to think of hot historical chicks... hmm... maybe, like, Helen of Troy... and Cleopatra... but ancient Egypt and Greece, with no air conditioning... hell no... and... no time travelling to boink hot historical chicks without bringing along a Lady Bic razor, either...

Improper uses of the term "blog."

"Hey, do you know where I can score some blog?"
"Put another blog on the fire."
"Don't bogart that blogger, man."
"So we started bloggin' in the kitchen..."
"Blogger... hmm... Wasn't that an old video game with cars and turtles and stuff and you had to get your blog from one side of the road to the lily pads on the... w-huh? ...a what? a frog? Oh... nevermind..."
"Blog me..."
"Be sure to have your blog spayed or neutered..."
"Sometimes when I'm blogged, I will take a laxative..."
"It's blogtastic!!!"

"��Coming up�� The End of the Dream...
The dream was over... or was it, really??? ...Yes... it was really the end..."

I see Ollie North on the Daily Show... pushing a fictional novel... Should be a bestseller... I mean, Hell, practically everything that came out of his mouth beforehand was fiction, too, so it's bound to be a great book...

Okay, okay... I was just being silly. I guess I just was looking at how rather profound the "Did You Know" post was before, and I figured I would spew forth some silliness to lighten things up a bit...

��"Catgut" comes from horses and sheep... not cats...
��Chinese gooseberries are grown in... New Zealand, of course...
��There was actually a category in the Guiness Book of World Records - "Worlds Biggest Disco"
��Eskimos use refrigerators to keep food from freezing...
��Every human on the planet eats 230 eggs a year...
��It was forty-seven YEARS from the introduction of the can to the introduction of the can opener... hmmm

Did you know that the man that invented the hydrogen bomb won a Nobel Peace Prize? ...and that his wife was a pediatrician? Now THAT is pretty fucked up, right there...

Heya

Welcome to my other blog... This is where I'll delve into other, mostly non-musical stuff... It could get kinda weird, so... hang on... and thanks for checking it out...
