Lube Up Houston
Planned Parenthood will be marching in the Gay Pride Parade on Saturday, June 27th. Due to a scarcity of funds (from increased client visits and budget reductions), they weren't going to distribute lube during this year's parade. I found this rational, yet unacceptable. Rather than sit idly by, i went out and purchased a thousand count box of lube ( Read more... ) -
Terrorism
George Tiller was murdered this morning.
Tiller was the #1 target of Neal Horsley, The Nuremberg Files and other anti-abortion nutjobs. I find it rather depressing that my first reaction on hearing the news was: "i'm surprised it took them this long." -
damn her tantalizing private sections
In Livejournal redux, after a long period of hesitancy, i finally submitted and signed up for Facebook. As before, i joined solely for the opportunity to view punkalicia's private parts. My problem is that i'm not clear as to what i'm supposed to do with the thing. And, no, i'm not playing dumb for humorous effect ( Read more... ) -
kitten on fire
I have to concur with catamorphism that the Internet was invented specifically for Broken Picture Telephone.
For future meme historians, catamorphism got it from caladri. -
Zero is a special number. If there are zero things, there are not any things. There are none.
While catching up with xkcd, i just learned about simple.wikipedia.org from this comic.
While i realize it's fairly new and i approve of its mission, reading the articles gave me a headache:
Hat
Zero
Infinity
Holocaust
Deconstruction
I realize that the whole point of the comic was that simple English give brain boo-boo, but hurts. -
Today's the real square day (American date format)
My brother called me on Tuesday to wish me a happy square root day (and belated happy birthday). My response to ask if 3032009 was a square number?
It isn't. To check, i knew that if a day in March, 2009 was going to be a perfect square, it'd have to be 17472 or 17532 (since it had to a little more than the sqrt(3,000,000) ~ 1732 and end in 009 ( Read more... ) -
The previous thing i taught myself was a much more efficient means of calcuating 8.25% sales tax
On Sunday night, watching the Amazing Race and How's Your News inspired me to get off my ass and learn ASL finger-spelling. It turned out to be easier than i thought using this website. I don't know that i'll bother learning more than a few ASL gestures, but it'll be good to be able to communicate with the death with writing or using my pitiful ( Read more... ) -
who organized all of my ex-girlfriends in a choir and got them to sing?
Goddamn Obama. All non-hourly employees at my company received the equivalent of a 8-12% pay cut last week. Only 5% of that was in base across-the-board salary cut. However, they also changed the company match on the 401(k) plan from being 6% to a sliding scale of 0-4% depending on company performance. On top of that, they canceled our share ( Read more... ) -
this has nothing to do with Jerry Garcia
This AV Club article on the 42 holiday entertainments that don't make us want to claw our eyes out with rage induced me to comment with my favorite holiday song:
What Sweet Child O' Mine Is This? by The Wonderful World of Joey
It's a loungey fusion of What Child Is This? and Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns 'n Roses. Yes, it's exactly as awesome as ( Read more... )
