| jason | i added comments. go crazy folks. go crazy! |
| jason | and man is it ugly! i'll try to fix it up after work |
| lane | poor blogger. our combined posting libido was just too much for it. |
| goldtoe | where the hell'd these comments come from. I thought they were'nt supported? |
| jason | the were created the very moment lane and myself simultaniously posted. which is to say, the stork brought them. |
| jason | i'm speechless. |
| goldtoe | obviously not - but wow! how long until this shows up on espn2? |
| lane | just think what she'll be able to do in bed. okay, I'm sick. |
| jason | stack pillows? |
| worker bee | pay no attention to me. i'm testing time stamps. |
| lane | yes, that's exactly what I meant. |
| lane | I'm reminded of "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!" |
| jason | ...she gave her students a warning: "If I see this in your assignments, I will take points off." maybe it's just because i've been out of school for some time, but that seems like such a silly way to go about anything. |
| goldtoe | more things I can't look at while at work. bah. |
| goldtoe | of course it's silly - somewhere it says how teachers are really just upset because they feel they're missing out on some kinda code. BUT! I think the really important point is that not everyone feels this way at all. Altho' I completely feel there are situations where writing in any sort of vernacular is inappropriate. |
| jason | sure you can. it's legos. |
| jason | bought and bought. |
| jason | all kids have slang. diffrent slang than their parents. "i am not my..." and all that good stuff. the really intresting part, is that this go round is both a return to the written word ("television is going to make a nation of illiterates!" - said by someone scared when i was a kid) and rooted wholey in communication technology. something diffrent for sure. that internet is influencing things... |
| goldtoe | I'm missing a joke or something ... who's tony pierce? |
| goldtoe | It's the 'who knew' that's got me confused. It's like "Who knew, Natalie Portman has a weblog." |
| goldtoe | I mean, where do you get off. Just because you work for pyra doesn't me you get to determine whether or not it's surprising that someone has a weblog. It's the audacity that really chafes my nub, truth be told. You little tree-monkey. |
| jason | that sort of language will get you know where with me. It's the lack of respect.... |
| goldtoe | works on yer mom.oh! |
| jason | this is why i say fuck peta. their shenanigins get them all mixed up with a bad crowd. in the process, their message gets dismissed by the public at large. "crazy extremists! indian's eat meat. so do i." the point is missed entierly... |
| goldtoe | how ya gonna call food lacking in substance. you're insulting my people. we are all about brunch. |
| lane | what he said. |
| lane | wish I could come to brunch in san francisco on saturday. drat. |
| lane | what's this? I see no love for the caterpillar! bitch whaa?! |
| jason | count me in.how about that place on haight that looks small, is really big, and has the massively tasty breakfast menu? |
| lane | ::pouts:: :*( |
| jason | the catapillar is too hot for words. |
| jason | may i propose a trip to ocean beach, following the brunch spectacular? |
| goldtoe | when you work in berkeley, it's so friggin' hot there'll be sweat pourin' off your deal. |
| tony | thanks for liking my blog. |
| order up! | pancake |
| jason | it's like a glimpse inside a paper plate package. |
| jason | poor lonely pine tree |
| goldtoe | if by 'martini' you mean drinking grain alcohol out of an empty bottle of olives, you don't have to worry about being pretentious. |
| goldtoe | you can see him tense up when he realizes he doesn't know how the saying ends. that feeling of being completely lost must get tiring after a while. |
| goldtoe | uh...that wasn't a pine tree, if ya' know what I'm sayin'. |
| jason | not only does he tense, but his out is to slip into a straight talking plain saying forward leaning american. giving it to us in his own words. style. he's got it. |
| jason | on the other hand, if by 'martini' you mean what i think you mean, that's very mean. meaner than most. meaning nothing. bedtime. |
| word | i feel you on this one. |
| jason | anytime my friend. |
| goldtoe | given the subject matter of the song ... you took a picture of what exactly? |
| barn plus | in your case, the answer is "yes."in my case, the answer is "no." |
| aaron | oh shit. it looks like jason just snagged the name "jason" and the other jason will just have to pack up his bags and leave town. me, i'm steady-thugging. straight up cold-chilling. |
| goldtoe | I'm goldman #1, fuck this jason bullshit. |
| Cheese Wheel | The comments, followed by the image, makes me a little uncomfortable. |
| jason | on a scale of one to one. no offence gomen. |
| hilatron | It's only pretentious if you have a certain vodka you must use, and you sneer at people who don't mix theirs in the "traditional," approved manner, and so on and so forth. And it's only alcoholism if, you know, it's a problem. Otherwise, don your velour smoking jacket and have at it! |
| hilatron | sillies. never have I seen a clearer portrait of rockin' out, dude. |
| goldtoe | yeah, cheesewheel, if you're uncomfortable, you should just start drinking again. oh sweet, sweet booze. |
| Cheese Wheel | Actually, it made me uncomfortable when I thought the images was of Mr. Goldtoe. Now that I see on closer inspection that it may be Mr. Sutter I am a bit more at ease. Am I correct in the image identity now? |
| goldtoe | ohmigoodness. I think I need to go get a dog. |
| lane | clap, damn you!!! |
| jason | the birthday has come and the birthday has gone and the birthday was good. you should have one again next year. |
| jason | savannah bannana. the west is the coast with the most. ask any tupac, he'll tell you the same. |
| lane | ha! you spelled banana wrong. :) |
| goldtoe | sutter's been known to spell sutter wrong. welcome back! |
| goldtoe | Figures ... the one decent article published in the atlantic in months is an on-line preview. |
| Cheese Wheel | I have several comments about the g-spot section, but there are innocent boy eyes on this blog. |
| goldtoe | I'm a big fan of "Currently, I am not a virgin..." Watch this space for further updates. |
| jason | ::covers his eyes:: |
| jason | regardless of what they're planning to do with pictures of the back of your eyes.... ask for a copy! |
| goldtoe | I think we'll all feel safer once America's diabetics are properly documented and accounted for. Freedom has a price, people. |
| cheese wheel | is it possible that we have 2 diabetics on this blog. i thought there was a legal limit of 1. |
| goldtoe | no, you're thinking of the limit on jews. we're in violation of that as well, tho'. this deal's gonna be shutdown. |
| hilatron | Hmmm...wonder why jo5_h didn't have his paper done this morning. Weird. |
| hilatron | Woohoo! AAMV rocks. Everyone should know all about vaginas. I mean, they are important to many of us, in one way or another... There's also a view from the other side... |
| hilatron | apparently I am dumb. Other side = http://www.my-penis.org - can't make link, no siree. |
| hilatron | Woohoo! AAMV rocks. Everyone should know all about vaginas. I mean, they are important to many of us, in one way or another... There's also a view from the other side... |
| goldtoe | no, you're thinking of the limit on jews. we're in violation of that as well, tho'. this deal's gonna be shutdown. |
| jason | if we could just get aaron blog from a secret attic, we'd be up to code on both accounts. |
| jason | the cat ate it. |
| grand overseer in the sky | there are hackers everywhere waiting to destroy these things we've made! therefore, these comments won't accept html. |
| tips and tricks | all you fellas in the house, re-load if you don't get the lady. all you ladies in the house, re-load if you don't get the lady. |
| lane | oh my. |
| lane | you kids... |
| Cheese Wheel | I didn't know you were taking a picture of me when I did that. |
| goldtoe | Then why were you all "Hey guys! Look what I'm doing! Oh, is that a camera? Gosh I'd hate to have someone take a picture of me with my butt hanging out. " It's not the classlessness that bothers me, it's the dishonesty. |
| aaron | yo... you guys ever had a low blood sugar on shabbat...on weeed??that's the f*cking shit. |
| aaron | mental note: don't invite meredith to wedding.oh wait, i ain't never gonna sleep with a grown woman. thought i'd throw it out there first. |
| aaron | he's got you there pal. sorry. |
| aaron | wtf is a vagina? |
| goldtoe | tall guy? works in a frame shop. you've seen him. oh wait. |
| loud speaker | unbuckle your saftey belts. the world ain't real. |
| jason | is nothing sacred? |
| lane | trippy. |
| lane | it's great. I love how the article actually says "did it" even though the dj was really only asking justin if he went down on her. ha. |
| goldtoe | I completely refused to belive that until I pulled it into photoshop. Now, my whole deal is kaddywompas. |
| aaron | it seems there's a rash of honesty (albeit sometimes heavily ego-filtered) spreading around the internet these days. i like it. |
| aaron | one of the many concerns of representational art is to bypass various thought processes and achieve a state of "pure vision". Most people can copy a complicated abstract shape, but as soon as they realize they're drawing a hand from a foreshortened perspective, even though the actual shape might be identical, the mind jumps in and they can no longer copy what they see. Learning to draw is really a process of learning to see... and learning to see is about letting our prejudices drop away one by one. |
| jason | word. |
| goldtoe | If you look at the dude's frontpage he actually talks about how the story is fake ... using a presumably fake dialog to explain why that's true of all stories. Nonetheless, the story is honest. Which is great. |
| jo5_h | He did! Then I had to start all over. Fuckin' Murray, bit-eater. : |
| jo5_h | I see goldtoe's exceeding the legal limit on accidental double posting. |
| jo5_h | Yeah, I like eating Crisco too. |
| goldtoe | sounds like a confusing piece of crap. it takes a certain sort of idiocy to rip off the plot of phantom menace for some half-assed superman backstory. |
| jason | thats fun. |
| lane | not to mention, that whole playing chess thing sounded like a direct x-men rip off. sheesh. |
| goldtoe | The man looks like john denver! Clearly, there's something fishy going on. |
| jason | poor cheese wheel... at least you didn't find any chaps in your bed. |
| goldtoe | Gamespot doesn't kid around when they put together the comprehensive behind the scenes article. The one on Metal Gear Solid 2 ran some 40 pages. |
| aaron | fun happens. that doesn't mean you have to talk shit behind your generally very clean roommate's back. nonetheless, you have my sympathies. it's never fun to clean up someone else's mess. why do i always play devil's advocate? |
| Cheese Wheel | Not talking shit, venting in front of his back too. Next time I'll let drunk people pass out in your room so that when you come home from work you have to drag their unstable, sick asses out rather than sit down and have dinner. how bout that. |
| goldtoe | "nonetheless, you have my sympathies" ... all evidence to the contrary. |
| goldtoe | I was a softwareplus rebel. www.fepproject.org has the amicus brief that 33 media scholars submitted arguing that video games don't cause violence. |
| jason | ++ insert you're a dick here ++ |
| jason | ack! |
| jason | the full video is a little epileptic and long but man is it something to see. let's all get on a train to schenectady ny! |
| side note sutter | i used to work in that very building. the floor under the big wrap around balcony. right hand corner. it had an amazing view of gambling riverboats, desolate east st.louis, and the various industrial ship(bardge) yards south of downtown. |
| goldtoe | The stretch across Kansas brings back traumatic childhood memories of a family roadtrip to CO. All that flatness. |
| aaron | there really is a god! |
| aaron | ok. sorry about the behind the back comment. but other than that i am appalled at this whole jason/jason sympathy act. it will not stand. duoJason cannot suddently pretend to be the good guys after four million inappropriate Meredith jokes. do not let them into your heart meredith! it's quite possibly the worst mistake anyone could ever make. |
| goldtoe | the difference, as you point out, is in the joking. I don't think you'd argue that you meant "fun happens" as a joke - what you meant was "you should not be upset at coming home to a post-party disaster. also, you're wrong for having complained about it in a quasi-public forum". It's not the equivalent of calling Meredith's date Monsieur Hotpants ... which is absurd as opposed to your straight-up critique. Additionally, it doesn't glibly dismiss Meredith's legitimate reason for being upset. |
| Aa-aaahaaaah! | That's some of the funniest shit I've seen in a long time, you know, in terms of useless Flash cartoons -- which are the only thing that actually validate the existence of Flash, IMHO.I wonder where we can get murray one of those helmets. It would be perfect for the times he goes completely schizo. I guess that means we'd have to strap it on permanently. :) |
| Josh | My name's not "Aa-aaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!," I swear. |
| whoever | whatever. |
| Cheese Wheel | brilliant. |
| Cheese Wheel | Although I appreciate the support of my wonderful Goldie, Aaron it is ok. I am over the whole thing anyway and have moved on. |
| Cheese Wheel | Sutter, I appreciate your support too. You are my sage after all. |
| paul | It's fake. That's what's wrong with it.http://www.snopes.com/photos/bushbook.htm |
| jason | indeed. if that girl isn't a muppet, i don't know what is. |
| Josh | She's not a muppet, she's a ventriloquist dummy; but if you focus your eyes a little to the right, there's definitely a puppet holding a Photoshop'd book upside down. |
| jason | if you light me on fire, i'll get the stink out of your room. |
| lane | whether or not it's fake, it's still amusing. sheesh. |
| jason | damn! |
| barn plus | that's the coolest thing i've seen in two weeks. what's slightly less amazing is that some of those people have close to 6,000 posts. |
| Josh | Quadruple-damn! Now I want to see the crazy jesterdile. |
| lane | re: hot, hot, circumcised diabetic swedish goth porndamn that's hot. |
| lane | what, no line breaks? punk ass comments... step up! |
| jason | from the password setting page: It uses HTTP Basic Authentication, the most common form of password protection on the web—which means it's fairly safe, but you don't want to post the family jewels, if you have people who might be watching you. |
| jason | the real question here is, who's paul? |
| jason | the slashdot conv is great. pardon the lack of line breaks ----- Once you are able to get the main page to load though, scroll down a tad to their message board section, it's hilarious:New Forum Messages--Join usWelcome » Novak is a moron ..

| jason | i quote therefore i am |
| hype o. thetical | how bad would you feel if she had a baby in the car? |
| FAC123 | The mass effort of slashdot readers to just fuck this guy is really quite heartwarming. On the site linked in the word others up there, they have links to usenet posts made by Bob Novak where he really does slander one of his competitors. I wonder who's the greater dickless wonder - Robert Novak or Robert Novak? |
| Josh | Josh, do you really think useless flash cartoons are the only thing that actually validates the existence of flash? |
| Josh | *grumble* When are Macromedia going to integrate the Flash and Shockwave players into a single plug-in?! |
| Cheese Wheel | Thank you Lane, for introducing us to this site via the Viking Kittens. I have been very entertained. |
| jason | double style!~ |
| jason | much like the slashdot storie... the comments on this one are half the fun. Yale seems to be a bastion of sexual repression. |
| goldtoe | yale sucks |
| Hippopotamus Lakehorse Dobbs | Slack, slack, slack... |
| jason | someone has got her eye on you. |
| Josh | Hrm.. it didn't work. Bad Google! I blame the pigeons. |
| jason | ha. |
| Josh | Someone's online from her mom's? She should be helping unpack boxes or something, no? Internet addicts -- sheesh! ~!-p |
| grumpy stankpants | wha?! no mpeg? |
| The Nefarius H.L. Dobbs | Not the first time I've been mistaken for a woman... |
| Lane | try again... it's working for me. odd. |
| Doh! | Uh.. the image search page, right, I'll try that now. :- |
| Lane | Oh, no no no. Click on the link, the one that says Yay Google. It's a funny page that shows what someone got by searching for certain things. |
| Lane | Celine shows up on this page:http://images.google.com/images?q=why+god+why%3F&svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&start=40&sa=NHa... you also get a pic of god from the Holy Grail. I heart Google. |
| Lane | Damnit. I keep forgetting there are no line breaks. Let's try that URL again: http://images.google.com/images?q=why+god+why%3F&svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&start=40&sa=N |
| jason | the plot thickens! |
| Matt | The Janis Ian article linked at the bottom of the number-y guy's essay is really very good, too. You know, at one point people got their music jollies by actually coming together to play, sing, etc. It was much more of a folk institution. Now the only "folk" are the big 5, at least for the vast majority of the mainstream audience. Media ownership concentration is bad...very bad...the biz is only profitable thanks to the gazillion-sellers, which prop up the rest of the label's repetoire, largely because the marketing costs are so outrageous. Two great things about P2P - 1 the ability to find and sample basically whatever you want. If what you like is Will Oldham, you sol when it comes to hearing him on the radio. So there's diversity. 2 the ability to obtain singles. Britney, Christina...they're largely singles acts, and if you don't want to spend 18 bucks for "Genie in a Bottle," what're you going to do? |
| Josh | Uh.. wow. The replies in the Yale forum are, err.. sad. |
| The Nefari*o*us HL Dobbs, Jr., LLC | That is, however, a truly reprehensible spelling mistake on my part. |
| Confiteor deo omnipotenti | I hereby declare this comment a corndog easter egg. |

| Josh | I really like this image - http://maddox.xmission.com/crapart2.jpg (stupid, none HTML-lovin' comments!). There's a good chance this kid's well on his way to becoming a truly emotionally damaged, socially inept, "starving artist." That, or home's not a very happy environment -- but that could be enough of a mindfuck to make him a very successful starving artist, as well. |
| lane | yeah, I was rather disturbed by that one as well. the little person looks so sad... and I wonder what that big black blob in the first house is supposed to be... and why there are two houses? |
| barn plus | When you have the motor skills of a sea anemone the difference between a happy face and a sad face is fairly arbitrary. I have like 14 degrees in child psychology so I'm super busy right now, but a quick analysis tells me that that kid is worthless. bummer. |
| The future Mrs. Goldtoe | Goldtoe, you are so fly...and I know you think Bob Dylan and Iron Butterfly are hellagood. |
| jason | I'll start watching headline news if they say 'jimmy hat'... but i'm not going to buy anything. |

| goldtoe | wouldn't the recommended method smart or something? don't vagina's have a basic pH balance - would adding citric acid get you one of those baking soda & vinegar volcanoes? I've got a lemon tree in my backyard if, you know, any ladies are interested in a lil' science. |
| jason | even a lemon is not killin what you got. ladies, just say no. |
| starmama | When I first heard 3 Feet High and Rising, I thought "at last! Tight beats, good smart rhymes, postitive messages"...I thought hip hop was in the midst of a revolution - Jungle Brothers, Tribe Called Quest, Brand Nubian, et al...but alas, MTV had to go and get everyone bling blinged out.I miss De La Soul. |
| jason | may i suggest: themselves (dose one and jel) and eyedea and latryx and blackalicious and jurrasic 5 and slug and some others i can't think of right now. |
| jason | thank you pete stark. |
| Bonnie Prince Bipolar | Um...I'm easily confounded by metaphor, mind you, but is Phil Gramm saying that Kuwait and/or Israel is our bitch? |
| goldtoe | Yes, Israel's the dog, Britain is the ratshot and snake boots are the red white & blue jimmy hats that we all must wear to uphold freedom. |
| Josh | I'll buy a copy as soon as Warp stops using RealAudio for their streaming audio previews. Err.. no, I'll buy a copy as soon as it's free. It sucks being poor. |
| Duh-bya | Well shucks, pa, it's a good thang we's dun got'n us sum o' them thar new-klee-arr bullits, init? |
| lane | I spent a good half an hour to an hour on that. fun stuff. |
| Josh | That's just my kind of Flash game. I could play that for far longer than I can be bothered to fiddle with the Bruce Lee widget I posted a link to. Hmmm.. if I needed a mouse pad, or if I needed another rinky-dink coffee mug (which I definitely do *not*!), I'd have to get something from their Cafe Press site. :-D |
| jason | get a job you fucking hippie. |
| jason | i poked him and he went BOOM!~ |

| hilatron | Cowering. Definitely. |
| jason | mmmmmm.... plushies. |
| jason | i mean... that's some weird stuff. |
| goldtoe | great ... now corndog is going to be screened out by those parenting filters. |
| jason | maybe it's intentionaly without any real answer and somewhat irrelavent. ....they're going to grade you on your ability to intelligently and professionaly communicate a very personal opinion. or maybe not. |
| jason | this is kind of old and you may have seen it before... but you should see it again. |
| Josh | I can't remember if I've seen it or not. Do you have a link to something other than a Real file? |
| jason | i can't say that i do. realone is avaliable for osx. get on the boat! |
| Josh | HO-HO! -- "Phil Dickson of Hot Springs has sold about 1,000 of the batter-dipped, deep-fried goodies topped with powdered sugar since the Arkansas State Fair opened Friday." -- You know, were it not for the powdered sugar topping, that would be horribly unpalettable. =;-D |
| Josh | Real can lick my unwiped ass. |
| jason | this guy is all over the place. not only can he write well, but he really handles himself well in interviews... he's single handedly doing a lot to increase the awareness that that homeless people are are in fact, people. .....he takes pay-pal donations on his site. what's a few bucks? |
| jason | you do relize that it's a big company? right? ...i mean, more than a hundred people... all licking your unwiped ass. Your going to get sore. and you still won't see the best video of your life. |
| jason | woohoo! i'm going to a world series game. |
| jason | i'm left breathless by his account of discovering briefs. |
| Josh | I may not see the best video of my life (it's going to be really tough to beat Aphex Twin's "Windowlicker" video, BTW), but it'll make a record-breaking pr0n video. Just think of it - "World's Biggest Ass-Lick" - I'm going to be able to retire on the money that's going to make. |
| Josh | I'm sorry, but not even Tom Jones can make Wyclef cool. I mean, he wrote that song about MSG because it's already happened, no? |
| goldtoe | danish acid rock pirates will be the death of us all. |
| jason | death seems strong in this context. |
| goldtoe | remember this, my friend - it is the hard heart that kills. |
| goldtoe | dude, you need to chill with the multi-media refrigerator deal. it's starting to get a little scary. |
| jason | i'll stop when you buy it. and not a moment before. |
| Josh | Putting magnets on that fridge is a terrible idea. First of all, you run the risk of erasing your 80GB of stored pr0n; second -- totally ruins the aesthetic! |
| jason | it looks like the online store sold out of um. |
| Josh | Ohmifskingawd!!! That's the stuff. :-D |
| goldtie | That's a great article ... tho' it's unfortunate teh author is a Rush fan. I was singing Tom Sawyer the whole time I was reading it. |
| lane | it's like the cover of from the choirgirl hotel. I always loved that album art. bitchin. |
| Matt | I for one welcome our new alien overlord ultravixens. Lord knows I'd paint her sister's house anytime... |
| Josh | Mmmm, SFTP! I'm so happy. Wait, I'm sort of happy. It's having some serious not-connecting kind of issues with my site, via SFTP, so we'll see how happy I really am. Anyway, that they've updated it at all is great news. =:-) |
| Josh | There is something very, *very* wrong about the butcher figure. I mean, a cow cutting up cows -- that's some twisted shit. |
| Josh | I take my previous comment back -- Transmit 2 is quite possibly worse than the previous quasi-beta 1.7 release, at least in OS X, and I doubt it's any better in Mac OS 9. In the time it takes to connect to my Web host via SFTP, I could easily connect via command line SFTP, transfer my files, and get on with my business. Any time there's an error in connecting to or navigating within a site, Transmit pops up an error window, which is perfectly reasonable -- then crashes! What? The? FUCK? Any time I try to use the download queue, the app crashes the first time I add a file to the queue. Again I ask: What the FUCK?! Panic seriously fucked up with their release of Audion 3, which was so unstable as to drive numerous users to move permanently to Apple's iTunes 3. I've paid for and used Panic's apps for some time, but rather than making the mistake of paying for an upgrade to Transmit 2, as I did in purchasing an Audion 3 upgrade license, this time I'll wait and see how well these Transmit problems are resolved. If Panic cannot release a decent update in the near future, I guess it will be time to look for a new FTP applications to use in OS X.*sigh* |
| MrSutter | i played with it last night... no troubles. i was pleased. best ftp client on the mac, i thought. fast and clean. i was rather impressed. |
| Chesse Wheel | Now I know what to be for Halloween. |
| Josh | You know no good. Try using it for a while, connect to a few different public and private sites, get errors, crash, understand. |
| hilatron | That R. Robot guy...whew! I'm pretty sure he's not a robot at all, but an evil android. And is he an Al Gore stalker in the making, or what? |
| Man-gina | I was there watching the first world series with Goldman and Mr Sutter, and I know for a fact that Goldman's true lust lies for Marc Singer, aka Mike Donovan. Me, well I always thought the crippled chick was hot... |
| goldtoe | goodness ... my rage looks that much more raw in lo-fi form. |
| R. Robot | I like the "evil android" angle. Maybe I'll work that in... |
| John G | There's also "Crusade," an Infocom-style game about the Crusades. http://www.inksyndicate.com/game.htm |
| jason | despite all your rage, you're still just a rat in a cage...... a cage made of ascii!! |
| Josh | That's an excellent idea and site. The 10 JavaScript alert messages that pop up when you hit the main page are really annoying, but otherwise there's some reall interesting stuff once you dig down into the user directories. |
| I am a terrible racist | "But then, before Joseph had even gone down a foot, that old trickster Satan appeared in the guise of a moistened Chink and seized him forcefully by the left nut. "Aha!" Satan cried. "Praying to find out what orange-juice company to join, are you?" |
| goldtoe | corndog - all things to all people ... even fruit. |
| goldtoe | I hope they still have the hot dog eating contest at Coney Island after Disney takes over. I'd hate to see that Japanese guy come all this way, think he's going to have another easy win over fat truckers, and walk away with a Treasure Planet t-shirt. |
| Lane | Don't forget the sequel... http://www.matazone.co.uk/kitty2.htm "Oh yes, I'm your nibble toy!" |
| jason | i hope the bumper cars still scream 'bump - your - ASS OFF!!' at passerbys. |
| jason | i wonder if this in in direct relation to the recent crack down on drwarf tossing? |
| jason | it seems to be gone? |
| goldtoe | weird ... it changed url's - back now. |
| Matt Bruns, voracious eater of potato salad | Whoa, great article about Nintendo being evil like the fru-its of the dee-vil. The site as a whole is neat, too, gives a good, concise background to pre-psx console gaming, focusing on the industry machinations and such (I never knew that Sonic was an effort to expose the SNES' limitations). As an aside, Shigeru Miyamoto is the Stanley Kubrick of videogames. Yeah, I'm cool... |
| Jason, small boy | I highly recomend picking up a copy of either 'The First Quarter -- A 25 Year History of Video Games'... which is now out of print and selling for a whopping $40... and to think i gave mine away. OR the same author's (Steven Kent) newest book, 'The Ultimate History of Video Games: From Pong to Pokemon -- The Story Behind the Craze That Touched Our Lives and Changed the World'. The man likes a subtitle and isn't the best writer in the world... but boy does he know some folks and some stories. |
| jason | notice the irrelavent tupac/biggie reference and calling walk this way a 'standard'. |
| jason | eww. |
| lane | sadness. :( |
| jason | boy scouts are like that peanut butter with the jelly already in it. |
| lane | the day before my 21st birthday. woo! what a birthday present. |
| jason | what if the astounding discovery is a new superTide(tm) with ultraBleach? |
| jason | what i learned: black kids fantasize about white ladies. |
| lane | they should have stuck j.lo in there. that kid probably doesn't know who claire danes is. |
| lane | good thing I don't live in fukuoka. |
| jason | word. |
| Josh | All praise the mighty bong and it's funky smellin' water filtration system. El Rotundo, you're my only hope! |
| jason | What's a Tofurky?By Tania SchicketanzArchaeologists had found (some past summers late)A tree in the woods in Oregon State;An unusual tree was this indeed,For it grew many pods, inside which were seeds…The seeds were no seeds by any means though,But instead something new, like a bean type of dough;And inside the seeds was the best part yet-celery and carrots and so much more…Beets, onions, beans…veggies galore!The leaves were something like huge grains of rice;Imagine the joy of the forests' mice!The strangest part yet was the age of the tree-Scientists said close to five hundred and three!Was it here all along, right under our nose?I guess it could happen…you think? You suppose?The pods were, of course, yummy to eat-so many veggies, all in one treat!Strange as it was, folks kept eating more;They even had them selling in the grocery store.So the issue finally came:The tree, at this point, still had no name.They pondered and pondered and thought all dayAnd into the night, arguing away:"The tree, you see, is too funky to be called anything else but a 'Too Funky' tree…""No, no, no that's way too broad-I like 'Incredible, Edible Pod'…"They argued and argued the summer away,All throughout fall up to Thanksgiving Day!Then suddenly someone piped up from the crowd,"I've got it! I've got it," they shouted real loud,"Inside the pod it's mostly soybean,Like tempeh and tofu, know what I mean?It's Thanksgiving too, and 'Too funky' won't do…"And so there it ended, I'm sure you can see-How into our lives came the "Tofurky Tree". |
| lane | I want tofurky for Thanksgiving. I need to make up my mind. :( |
| Josh | Noooooooooo! Don't do it! (For further info on my reaction, ask Hilatron about her experience with tofurky.) |
| hilatron | Wait a minute...you look at PORN?! Ewwwww...I am SO out of here. |
| hilatron | The tofurky is just...wrong. I can't quite put my finger on why. It might be the compressed tofu drumstick shapes, or the disturbingly spherical "body," or the clearly not-of-this-earth stuffing dealie. In any case, I believe Nature is trying to send the message that we should not try to recreate the turkey using processed soy. |
| jason | cute! |
| jason | at least he wasn't having sex with a lama. |
| matt | no, just the baby. |
| aaron | woah... how did no one comment on this. f*cking amazing. |
| goldtoe | apparently, our time in the sun was short-lived. shit went pop. |
| goldtoe | He's a Mon Calamari ... why not just say he's a member of the FishEye Clan? |
| Matt | Next you'll be telling me that Greedo's an obvious name for a bounty hunter. Incidentally, what's the connection between *Mon* Mothma and *Mon* Calamari. I mean, the lady's not a big butterfly, is she? |
| empty | if you're a big dork... er. ummm. nevermind. |
| hilatron | get back to work, mister! |
| Matt | so here's my question - how do you find this out, like we're the 9th search result for superglue dildo. I mean, were you just searching for superglue dildo? oh, and I pledge to do my best to make Corndog synonymous with "naked prepubescent boys," but I guess you already knew that. |
| goldtoe | in most cases, it's due to the wonder of bStats - source of unlimited amusement (stats.blogger.com). In this case, however, I was looking for a superglue dildo and was just pleasantly surprised. |
| goldtoe | "From the side of Christ comes the life-giving grace we need to return safely to the Father." Mmmmm - Shai'hulud. |
| hilatron | Now, what is that exactly, is that a dildo made of Superglue? A dildo for Superglue? What? |
| Matt | I dig how the scroll presentation forces you to view the strip one frame at a time. The surprise twist ending of many a Cathy has been ruined for me by my habit of reading ahead (I can't help it, I must know if the swimsuit will fit!). Plus, the comic associates Flash intro pages with monsters of pure evil. Which is, you know, nice. |
| Niniane | I'd think it would be considered assisted suicide, since he obviously wanted to die. Although this dude is definately no Jack Kevorkian. |
| hilatron | I KNEW there was something fishy about those damn babies. They never seemed quite as trustworthy as their adult, puppet counterparts.I went through the Narnia trauma too, though...I thought he was just a big, (sometimes) cuddly lion, damnit! |
| goldtoe | Well, he is a big, cuddly lion ... who just so happens to come back from the dead after dying for our sins. And who, in the last, disappointing book, will lead the righteous into the Next World at the end of this one. Amen. |
| goldtoe | "Four billion worldwide population, all living, have a Computer God Containment Policy brain bank brain, a real brain in the brain bank cities on the far side of the moon we never see." See, this is why I think the Matrix is way overhyped. |
| jason | i was not there. you saw nothing. |
| jason | Strongbad will rule the world! |
| goldtoe | Chesterfield, MO represent! |
| jason | The natural art capital of the world!! |
| jason | i can't wait to meet your friends. |
| jason | thats the best flash i've seen since Strongbad will rule the world! |
| lane | he's purdy. |
| jason | from the captian novolin write up: "This game is so bad, you'll start rooting for diabetes." |
| goldtoe | from the superman64 review: "Superman looks a lot like a flying log in panties" |
| Matt | Shit! Sorry 'bout that... |
| lane | you broke it, matt. |
| fixing guy | all fixed! i am the hero!! |
| jason | sure.... you don't come here anymore and i won't call the police. deal? |
| goldtoe | whatever. when the plastic nubbin' comes off your atari joystick, you'll be happy to know someone with a silicone repair kit. |
| Matt | What I wanna know is first it was superglue for a dildo, now it's a real doll repair kit. Didn't your mother teach you to take better care of your plastic sex toys? |
| Cheese Wheel | Goldman, its time for us to find you a woman. A non-robot, non-rubber one. For the love of god! |
| goldtoe | well, it certainly makes plastic robot porn look wholesome, doesn't it. |
| jason | eww. |
| goldtoe | "What's up cheesetits" |
| Matt | The name of the show showing the feast is "Beijing Swings." If Beijing swinging is munching on dead babies and savouring a little cock au vin, I really want to know what Beijing's conservative sex life is all about. |
| Matt | or anyone's sex life, for that matter...it gets very lonely out here. |
| jason | my sex life is all about long division. |
| lane | oh baby, you know I love it when you've got a big remainder. |
| Matt, aka fucking up guy | whoa! nice, thanks! |
| cheese wheel | what's a sex life? |
| Matt | something that people who *don't* blog have. ah, the bittersweet blue balls of webocracy... |
| jason | ....and doesn't quite get it right (it's very plasticy in the big pictures... and needs more curves. None the less, I still want one.. with a copy of Golden Sun. |
| jason | ack! the file is gone!! |
| Matt | http://no-effort.50megs.com/hollywoody.htm is a smaller version thereof, but, um, it's kinda hard to watch. |
| Matt | sigh, site _of_ the original of this thing. |
| lane | maybe it's just the benadryl I took that's affecting my brain, but I don't get it. |
| Matt | There's no joke beyond the text itself. When I first saw it, I had set my browser to use my colors instead of web page colors, and so I saw black text on white background. At work, looking at it on a different browser, I saw either purple or yellow text on a *white* background, which rendered the yellow text illegible, hence the suggestion to swipe your mouse or hit control a (selecting all, thereby switching everything to the quite legible white on blue) to read the text. Of course, I look at it now in yet another browser, and the text is purple and yellow against a *black* background, which makes all the difference. The moral of the story: I should put down the pipe, and phoenix is the best browser of the bunch. selah. |
| sam | Actually Nintendo is going back to their roots. Old School style. Their first electronic games were called "Game & Watch", and a lot of them were flip open types. Take a look at this page for some old school liquid crystal goodness. :) http://home.swipnet.se/~w-92970/ |
| Matt | http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/hamlet.htmlhas it now. In non-miniscule fashion, no less. |
| cheese wheel | Do you think if you buy one of these, they throw in an iPod with it? Specifically a 5gb one for windows? If so, happy birthday to me! |
| jason | no cake for you! |
| jason | not me. thats for certain. |
| Matt | "Amphetamines, however, can definitely facilitate macramé." - best thing Gibson's ever written. |
| goldtoe | I agree ... I'm definitely liking Gibson the blogger much more than Gibson the writer. Not to mention Gibson the awkward actor of Wild Palms fame. |
| jason | i heart the william gibson blog. mmm. yes. i do i do indeed. |
| goldtoe | Aw jeez. If I had seen that there was gonna be, you know, socially relevant posting in honor of MLK day, I would have held off on the stupid covers bit. What a speech. |
| Matt | I'm stunned, figuratively stunned. Why would the PSB do something so...so...gay?! Incidentally, Johnny Cash also covered the Will Oldham song "I See a Darkness," as a duet with Mr. Prince Billy himself. It's a fantastic version, better than the original, I think, plus it's just amazingly fucking cool that Johnny Cash covered Will Oldham. |
| goldtoe | Speaking of PSB - do you realize that Corndog is the 8th most relevant Google result for "Gay Fellatio" (do I have to point out this ... er ... comes from the referrer logs - I guess I do). You'd think one of the other 17,000 sites out there specializing in man-on-man action would beat us out, but you just can't keep a corndog down. Good work. |
| Matt "black history is my fictitous nickname" B | Eh, it's ok...just don't fuck with my upcoming tribute to Richard Dawson... |
| goldtoe | I hope you didn't plan on using The Richard Dawson Anagram Page: http://www.angelfire.com/celeb/richarddawson/anagrams.html ... If so, consider your spot blown. "inch rod awards" ... that's like some nostradamus shit right there. |
| Matt | inch rod awards + sir hand cowards = my sex life. Thank you, I'm here all week. |
| jason | i'm confused. is this serious, or supposed to be some sorta ultra post modern art? it seems a little simplistic to be serious.... a little crappy (stock poser modles) to be art. |
| jason | strongbad will rule the world! |

| jason | How can I send a picture of pussy imaged? -- It must be GIF file or PICT file. |
| lane | Her penis is not grow!!!! |
| cheesy lady | art or not, real or not...all I know is I like the "Unlimited service calls" part of the deal. Now that is 24 hour tech support. |
| Cheesy | Well, if my current gallery gig doesn't work out...I know where to send my resume. Goodness. |
| Cheesy | "I thought I'd begin with my crushed hope of the day: HAVE FRIENDS" ahh, we've so much in common. That and the Smiths constantly sounding from our speakers. I think I have found love. |
| jason | Cheesy - those aren't "resumes" they're pictures made in MS Paint. But don't let that stop you from sending yours in. |
| cheesy | Oh no, I guess it is good that came up as I send a CV out to admissions offices. |
| goldtoe | CV ... that's like a British vagina, right? |
| jason | strongbad will rule the world! |
| goldtoe | disgustingly delicious times, that is. |
| Cheesy | At the bottom of the homepage, it says "The sixth-best website in the world". What are the first 5? Is corndog on the list? |
| Cheesy | Hello Kitty is a slut. |
| Matt | a disgustingly delicious slut that is. mmmm...pussy... |
| cupid | somebody is crushing on goldman hard. |
| goldtoe | oh please let it be 300lbs of kitty chan sausage crushing down right on my chest. |
| cheesy | by somebody, do you mean Eugene's dad? |
| Eugene's dad's eerie, disembodied voice | yes, I often feel the desire to pile kitten-branded sausage on young goldman. What can I say? The heart wants what the heart wants. |
| Matt | "We hope you will take a few moments in a quiet place, a deer stand, camp, fishing pier, your den, or wherever it is you spend time reflecting on the wonders of God's creation, to look at God's Word, the Holy Bible, from an outdoorsman's perspective. As you do, prepare to be drawn into God's presence." And remember to aim for the crotch or head to disable our holy father immediately. |
| cheesy | Uggg, I hope that poor young Eugene is no where near a computer. |
| Matt | Tranquility is complacency! Eastern religion anesthetizes the masses, dulling the pain of class oppression! Jai guru deva om! What, may I ask, do you plan on doing upon receiving your degree? Are you interested in pursuing an academic career or doing gallery work? Just curious. Oh, and do you know of any place where I can get an animated gif of thomas fingering jesus' manhole? |
| jason | i said, say hi! |
| cheesy | I plan on being in a great deal of debt. Can't help you with the gif...don't think I even really want to. |
| goldtoe | I'm not going through this hell again. |
| jason | your fate is in your hands. just say hi. |
| goldtoe | That Thomas Frank has a way with a phrase: "Cuckoo to get God back in the schools, you enshrined a god of unappeasable malice. Raging against the snobs, you enthroned a rum bunch of two-fisted boodlers, upper-class twits, and hang-em-high moralists." This is quality stuff. |
| goldtoe | Perhaps uncoincidentally, I just saw that episode of ST:TNG where Picard can escape torture if he just admits there are 5 lights. The Cardassian torturer was played by David Warner who also played Evil in Time Bandits and Sark in Tron. All of which goes to prove that you suck, dude. |
| chutney | I usually a Thomas Frank fan, but I was a bit supported by the most recent issue of The Baffler. What's up with that cover? |
| Matt | from everything2.com's discussion of ethnic stereotypes in street fighter 2: Dhalsim, a skeletal Indian man who practices a form of combat Yoga that involves breathing fire, stretching out the body to improbable lengths, and teleporting. Dhalsim wears a weird costume that includes a necklace made out of skulls. Dhalsim's stage takes place in a room with six elephants. A portrait of the god Gansesha hangs in the middle of the room. All of these things seem to point towards the stereotype of Indians as being mystical, yet half-mad people. |
| Cheesy | I never thought I would have to hear the phrase "say hi to the robot" anywhere outside of a Denny's dinner table with Aaron and a holder of syrup. |
| chuck | you got ample avacados? lets talk. |
| Cheesy | Who's chuck? |
| chuck's friend | Don't worry about chuck, nice lady. I know how to treat avacados right. And while I'm not necessarily an underwear pro, I do like standing around in my tighty whities while getting high offa airplane model glue. |
| cheesy | amendment:Tighty whity wearers need not apply. |
| Matt | Whouda thunk that Prince would write so well on the subject. His take, that p2p is the end result of the industry's relentless commercialization of their product, draining it of artistic merit, is quite compelling. Music used to be a much more social and (democratic is maybe the word I want) thing. People used to get most of their music by participating themselves, in churches, in their own families. People used to sit around and sing and play with each other, instruments used to be a big thing to sell to families. And of course elites would play in salons with each other. That's why it's, you know, *folk* music. And there is also the live music tradition, which meant people actually went and listened to performers. The notion that music is something you have to buy is a fairly recent one, and while it certainly has its good points (mass exposure of black music in the US being a great example), it's also led to massive standardization, commercialization, and, as Prince points out, it's more a thing to be consumed than appreciated. Major acts, that is major acts with commercial distribution, tend to come and go quickly. And, quite frankly, these days if music is big enough to make it to major distribution and promotion, it's largely crap (yes, there are exceptions). For the most part, music is following the movie model, where one success leads the majors to try and exploit the success through countless repetition of the formula. Meanwhile, just as in movies, the best things are going on on a local scene. And there's hope for even more. The music that you can make with a |

| goldtoe | I don't know if I can believe that it actually says "Bring your pussy face to my ass" during the warg battle. |
| jason | Merry? Come on... if i was going to sleep with anyone in LOTR it would be (in order of preference) 1) Liv Tyler 2) Balrog 3) Brad Dourif. Dominic Monaghan doesn't even rate. |
| hilatron | I personally would be on that Eowyn (you know, the blond sword-fighting girl) like white on rice. Meee-ow!Liv. Tyler. Psshht, you disappoint me, Jason. |
| jason | you mean the the coniving blond sword fighting girl who wants nothing more than to break the bondage of true love between Aragorn and Arwen? no thank you. i don't need that kinda drama. i'll stick with a nice elvish girl who's got lips like a cadillac. |
| goldtoe | ahh yes, the soundtrack to my own, personal hell. I'm glad it's now a successful e-business. |
| Matt | Ah, the glories of the windows active desktop. I once tried to make a similar thing on my own system, but instead of interesting geographical data and quirky webcams, I was putting up links to webcam pr0n. There's nothing quite as aesthetically pleasing as seeing "the page cannot be found" as your desktop wallpaper. |
