We just had an earthquake!

The barbaric and backwards Canuckistani government has stripped from its citizens the right to have an attorney present during police interrogation.

I'm in ardent opposition to use of the military as a nation-building instrument, but it might not be the worst idea in the world to democratize these savages.

... except that you have to watch it all the way through. It is Law.

Passed.

So there's a meme going around Youtube. This is from some episode of The O.C. It's pretty crap, so just skip ahead to about 1:55 for the relevant bits.

The whole "Getting shot -> MMM WHAT YOU SAY" thing has been spreading quite a bit, after Saturday Night Live parodied it. The Departed. Reservoir Dogs. Fellowship of the Ring. And etc and etc.

I felt the need to contribute, but I also wanted to push things a bit. I love taking a thing to its logical extreme. So here's Bud Dwyers.

the zapruder was taken

Happy pie day.

OK, I'm gonna go ahead and call the end of this Achewood storyline. Ray's too overconfident. This guy's gonna kick his ass, and Beef will win.

If you come in to work one morning, and spend about an hour typing out a lengthy resignation letter, detailing all the complaints and problems and inequities that have come up during your tenure at your job, and print it out, and tear it to little bits, and eat it with a lot of Ex-Lax and castor oil, and wait a couple hours, and head down to a restroom, and drop a massive disgusting foul resignation-letter liquid shit into a bucket, and then take that bucket back to the office, and then throw the contents of that bucket in your boss's face ... you probably shouldn't list that job on any resumes.

Been using this new SwheatScoop cat litter for about a week now. I must say, it's a big improvement over the old Arm & Hammer stuff I'd been using. Litter boxes don't smell as much. Cats don't smell as much. And it's basically just a bunch of wheat, so I can flush it, rather than having to carry a garbage bag full of heavy, heavy clay down 3 flights of stairs to the trash every so often. I like.

This was originally just another Cream of Cabinet with Refridgerator, but turned out pretty good, so I've made it repeatedly.

You'll need:
1.25 pounds ground beef
1 can Cream of Chicken condensed soup
1 can Cream of Chicken w/ Mushroom condensed soup
2 cans mixed vegetables
1 can mushroom pieces
Some sort of starch (I use Jasmine Rice, but any kind of rice or noodles or whatever is good here)

Brown the beef in a big pot or skillet. Add the soups (no water), and mix up. Add the vegetables and mushrooms, stir, and cook a bit. Serve over your starch.

Chicken soups work surprisingly well as sauces in Beef dishes. It's weird.

This is the stupidest idea I've ever seen. It's petty, hypocritical, deceitful, more than a little vain, and just generally repugnant.

AND THEY WILL SELL A FUCKTILLION BOTTLES! AT APPROXIMATELY $14.35 PER BOTTLE, THAT'S FOURTEEN FUCKTILLION, THREE HUNDRED FIFTY ASSLOADILLION DOLLARS!

What, you don't think people will buy that? In this sick fucking country?

I finally got around to watching Matrix Revolutions.

( I gotta say ... )

I felt a great disturbance in the Fen, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Mmm ... the schadenfreude is tangible, and it tastes like sweet sweet candy! I'm glad I weaned myself off the series back around ep 78, and just read the manga now.

Got my LSAT scores back today. 168, on a 120-180 scale. 97th percentile among test-takers. Not bad, given that I didn't spend any time prepping or studying, at all.

Felt like bragging, is all.

So, I get home from programming class, and the first thing I notice while unlocking the front door of my apartment building is that the window's kinda smoky. I wonder if this is due to some pressure differential, causing it to fog, but when I open it I find out it's because the hallway is filling with smoke. Crap. I see that the smoke's pouring out of the crack underneath apartment 1B's door, and doesn't extend up above the first floor, and my first thought is that it's probably something minor, and that if it's serious that someone's smoke alarm will go off (none are). Then I realize that 1B must be filled with smoke, if it's visibly pouring out of the door, and their alarm isn't going off, so that's unreliable.

So I knock on 1B, no answer, I wait a few seconds and knock again, louder. Again, no answer. I run up to my apartment (third floor), grab my cell phone, and head back down. I knock again, still no answer, so I call 911. I relate to them the incident, then run around knocking on everyone's doors and letting them know there's a fire. After all the tenants that are home have been roused, I go to grab my cats, who do not cooperate AT ALL. I'm still trying to herd them into their crate when the fire department gets there, so I hurry down to meet them. I tell them that I called, and that I've alerted everyone, and they ask where the basement is (it smells like oil burning, you see). I lead them there, and they find out it's the furnace. Anyway, they shut the furnace down and assumedly put out any flames, and we're good. All is right with the world again.

Anyway, the point of all this is, if you have a Virginia cell phone and call 911 while in Baltimore, it'll call the Baltimore 911. Seems intuitive, yeah, but still a good thing to know.

Anyone ever tries to tell you that deep-fried Oreos aren't incredibly filling, you punch them in the face. For they are liars. I weigh a good 270 pounds; I can put away two dozen potstickers, or $20 worth of reasonably-priced General Tso's, in one sitting. Six of these bastards wiped me out. You know how a snake will, like, eat an entire cow, and then just sit and digest for a month? I feel like that.

Tasty, though.

Y'all read this, now.

This coming election just keeps getting more and more fucked up.

Here. Courtesy of the qow group. Apparently, all you have to do is create an account at the site, complete an offer, and get 5 others to do the same with you as a referrer, and you get a free 20gb iPod. I know, I know, you've seen a million sites like this before. But this one has one big difference: one of the possible offers is just making a bid on eBay. Doesn't have to be a winning bid. Go place a 1¢ bid on a diamond ring, and that'd count. It's actually free. And, please, go to the site through that link, that I may get referrer credit, please? Many thanks.
