Muttawakil, I choose you!I got a 5-dollar check in the mail today. It's from a mail-in rebate to some RAM I got at Best Buy like a week before Christmas. I feel so damn rich now. I think I'll use this money to buy myself a Valentine's Day card like
1 in 9 limy British bastards. There's also a 10% that I'll steal a card from my sister. Jesus, if that's how commonplace Valentine self-love and stuff is in England, I wonder how much lower (higher?) they are here in the states. It's time like these I'm happy about the Revolutionary War.
Looks like we got another live one. Now, I want the eyepatch-wearing guy and we have ourselves a subset! Gotta catch 'em all!
Maybe if we brand every human with silicon, we'd have an easier time finding these higher-ranked Al Qaeda figures. I'm sure this system can't be abused, if it somehow becomes a reality. :p

"I'm evil!"I guess today just might be Political Satire Day, 'cause not only is there that post below on Osama, here's one about the "Axis of Evil." Evil, indeed! But I'm sure there are some coutries out there that feel besmirched that they didn't at least get an honorable mention in George Dubya's State of the Union address, and
they formed axes of their own.I think this came from MeFi, like the Dre thing below.
"You sit there and talk about coupons?"I guess back in November
Dr. Dre was gonna make a rap song dedicated to Bin Laden, but chose not to record it for its bad taste: "We were in the studio clowning and we put some lyrics together and I'm actually glad I didn't put them on the mic 'cause somehow the tape would have got out, you know. But it was just ourselves wiling out, you know, letting off some aggression."
Fair enough.
But that didn't stop "Osama" from putting out his own rap song, lashing out at Dr. Dre. It ain't something you'd want to listen to at work. And I don't really know why Bin Laden has an Indian accent.

People are funny.Some people
marry cardboard cutouts.Others
steal pitbulls and send its former owner postcards from the animal.
And others are members of
transvestite harlot gangs.What a crazy world we live in, eh?
There's a show on USA called Combat Missions. It's on Wednesday nights. I've only caught bits and pieces of various episodes, but it looks pretty decent. It's like being in a Tom Clancy book, except it's actually a game. Or something. Yeah. Think Ghost Recon or Rainbow Six if you've played those PC games. Or Counterstrike with a little more variety in the campaigns. Or think outdoor paintball on crack.
How to survive prisonAnd I'm starting to hear rumors that the person that wrote
the guide may have never actually served time in prison. How odd. But it seems like a good guide nonetheless, with tips to avoid getting your ass killed and tips on how to avoid getting ass raped.
I found this at Metafilter.
In the beginning...There was nothing. Then sliced bread. Then came
futuristic grilled cheese. And now, cooking science has reached a new level:
perfect pancake-making technology. Mmmm...
Also, the poll off to the right was kinda broke-ass. Take it again.

This is a little dated...But that's ok. I had to wait for
SA to archive
the article before I could actually link to it.
It's commentary on the Super Bowl predictions that were posted somewhere on the ESPN site. Lots of funny stuff. I liked Jenny Jones's prediction. What a football connoisseur she is.
FunnyI don't usually hear too much from my buddy
Frank, but when I do, he usually starts things off with
a link.

Making HDTV less useless is...D-Theater. Coming to a rich guy's house near you. And supposedly, it uses uncopyable VHS tapes with "way gooder" picture quality.
I'll put money that someone will find a way to record copies of D-VHS tapes within three months of its release.
Behold the power of cheese!Thinking of getting your loved one chocolate for Valentine's Day? Why? You know that
Valentine cheese is the wave of the future. Nothing says "I love you" quite like a hunk of Muenster. Unless your girl is lactose intolerant... Well, there's always other staples like
teddy bears and
flowers. But
cheese is
so the way to go! :)

How YOU doin?Patriots win. Patriots win. Patriots win. Patriots win. Patriots win. Patriots win. Patriots win. Patriots win. Patriots win.Wicked good Super Bowl. Who says a 14-16 point underdog can't nearly blowout the other team (it could have been 24-3 in the 3rd)? But what a good finish for a great game: a game-winning field goal with 8 seconds left on the clock.
"How YOU doin? How how you doin?"
From downtown bangQuiet weekend. Nothing to write. Not yet, anyway. But there's like some sort of Stanley Cup World Series game on tonight between the St. Louis Eagles and the New England Revolution or something. ;p Maybe that will be noteworthy in a few hours.
But I did find out that Pamela Anderson may give up acting and tour as a stripper at Kid Rock concerts. Interesting. Now why would she want to give up working on such a highly-rated gem as VIP? Oh wait, it sucks. Never mind. But she touring with Mr. Rock should make for a good number of sold-out shows, I'd assume. But everyone has already seen her nekkid... Well, all I have to say is, "Bawitdaba-da bang-da bang-diggy-diggy-diggy said the boogie-said up jump the boogie."
