Something about this is just kinda awesome...
Super short Indy 4 article.
Also, wanna know what Star Trek XI is supposed to be about? The article is a big time spoiler, but supposedly a rumor, so maybe it's just nonsense. In either case, fuck it - it's the Trek, not the Wars.

Terror is alive and well, though apparently short in stature...
If you've got the time, read the whole page - it documents this guys obsession with and loathing of the "terror gnome." Seriously though, the end is priceless.

World War II Star Wars
One morning, a bright young fellow asked himself that timeless question: "What would it have been like if Star Wars was set in World War II?" This is his answer.

They ranked it 12th out of the top 25 most affordable towns in the country. Obviously, there is no accounting for taste.
All Rebels Must Die!
Guys I plead with you. Star Wars Galaxies is the freaking coolest game I've ever seen. The possibilities are limitless and too involved for me to describe here. But if you've seen it in the past, give it another chance. They have space combat now in addition to ground stuff. Its even got the magical wind resistance space combat style of star wars. I'm flying a tie fighter right now. And I'm a bounty hunter. But you can be a jedi or musician or smuggler or lots of other stuff. Anything you can do in star wars is in this freaking game.
Anyways, theres a free 14 day trial. Me and about 3 other guys from work are wrecking shop on this thing. The download takes a while I must warn you. But, do yourself a favor and give it a whirl. Trust me on this one. You'll want to join on the "radiant" server. The game calls the servers "galaxies" fyi. Thats where we are. Once you get set up let me know and I'll help you out with the tutorial and get you going. You won't believe how much there is to this game. Whatever you do, don't be a rebel. They suck and theres like a ton of them. My buds and I are all emperial pilots. But you can even go the privateer route if you want.
Anybody thats wants to give this shit a shot, let me know. But trust me, you want to do this. This is where its at if you're a gamer. Join the Legion of Doom NOW!

For the Lost fans...
If you still care to follow Lost, here's the info on finishing out the remainder of season 4.
Guys, I kid you not
This is a a real, recent quote from Tommy Bowden. I couldn't even make stuff like this up. Click on the link to clempson's scout page if you need proof. EDSBS.com is having a lot of fun with this one.
On freshman Kyle Parker, who is having a really good season with the baseball team:
"I’ve watched him practice and I’ve watched him play (baseball). He’s really good looking. If I was a girl, I’d be very interested in him. He wears those tight pants. When you wear loose stuff, you can’t tell the definition of a guy’s body. In baseball, everything is tight and you can see that he's very well put together."
Enjoy

Brooke is Pregnant
Gentlemen,
My army of tiny white Jedi's has penetrated Brooke's inner defenses. The Kwisartz Haderach has officially been conceived. We got visual confirmation from the ultrasound last week and it turns out that she is 6 weeks pregnant. I must say that I'll never be the same now that I have seen my wife's vagina from the inside out. It'll blow your freaking mind.
I thought a blog post would be the best way to make this announcement. That way I can tell everybody at once.
The one who brings balance to the universe is due around thanksgiving. I'm up for any name suggestions. Of course Brooke hates all of my ideas for names. But his middle name WILL be Eugene of course!

RIP Mr. Fry Daddy, RIP
Alright boys and girls, queue the half staff flag and the sad, slow trumpet that brings tears and gives chills to any good man at every military funereal. Because today, my friends…today is a sad, sad day. Today we have lost a dear friend. I’ll start from the beginning.
So things are as they normally are, at the casa de B, even up to the point where someone cries out, “hey, we should deep fry something.” I had a beer in hand, a smile on my face, and one of those schoolboy anxieties like you would not believe. Things were great, really great, you know? And then it happened.
We should do's were flying in from all directions in true surround sound and the new ideas for the ultimate homemade snack were at an all time high. It was a beautiful moment. And then it happened. I slide the plug fearlessly into the outlet and right away I knew something was wrong. Fry Daddy was not responding. A feeling came over me that I have not felt since the first Christmas without Santa. Nothing could be worse. I started thinking of all the good times we shared over the last several months and how much it has taught me about myself. “Where do I go from here” I ask myself. How will I sleep tonight?
So I ask of you, my brothers and sisters, to please keep me in your thoughts over the next few days as this is sure to be a hard time. I am sure that with time I will find a way to recover from the void that is now left in my soul. And for those of you wondering where you can make your donations at such a difficult time please send check or money order to www.frymedaddy.com.

So We Added A Little Background Music
The player is at the bottom. It is set on shuffle and starts automatically. Requests anyone?
New Clemson signee Kenneth Page
With all the cock bashing I thought I'd balance things out. I know this picture has been well circulated but I think it needs as much exposure as possible. There's plenty more where this came from btw. I'll be happy to post more stuff if needed.
I've Been to the Mountaintop
On April 3rd, 1968, Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his "Mountaintop" speech (Audio at American Rhetoric) to a crowd in Memphis, Tennessee. At the climax, he addressed concerns about his possible assassination. The next day, he was killed while standing on a balcony at the Lorraine Motel.
That evening, in Indianapolis, Robert Kennedy gave a speech informing attendees at a political rally of the event. While other American cities were engulfed with violence following the assassination, Indianapolis remained calm, a fact often credited to Kennedy's eloquent and sensitive remarks.

Further engorging my Radiohead boner...
This year's North American tour seemed, in my mind, sure to be the end of the greatest band since the Floyd. Not sure why I thought that, but I did. Actually, I do know why, but it doesn't matter; this article is just the kinda news I needed.

About May
I managed to switch my moonlighting shift in May, so I'll be home on the 17th. Are we still doing the camping thing? I'm game for whatever; I just need to know what to bring home with me.
Oh, and Jon - glad to hear you're moving back.

And lets not forget......
the fire extiguisher Garcia discharged in his dorm room hours AFTER receiving the alcohol citation.
From EDSBS.com:
Stephen Garcia sits in his dorm, alone except for the tiny, floating Matthew McConaughey on his shoulder.SG: I’m ****ing bored man.
Tiny, Floating Matthew McConaughey: Brah, stop the bitchin’ and get to itchin’. If it’s too quiet in the church, who’s gonna make some noise if you don’t ring some bells, man?
SG: I’m gonna set off the fire extinguisher. I’ve been wanting to do that for weeks.
TFMM: RIGHT ON. Take your shirt off and make it happen. You’re like a primitive warrior ready to fight in mud with a loincloth naked, and the fire extinguisher….it’s like some ancient sabretooth you’ve got to own. Just like I punched those dragons in Reign of Fire.
SG: ****in’ right. Sometimes I can hear it taunting me.
TFMM: It IS taunting you. Can’t you hear it now? I can because I’m Toll Housed.
SG: Ring ring, you little red bitch.
TFMM: You’re a dolphin in a sea of purple freedom, baby YEAH.

McCain's cred
John McCain gets a lot of passes in the media for "slip-ups" because he is taken to have a great depth and breadth of knowledge. Kevin Drum, of The Washington Monthly, asks the right question: "where does all this cred come from? And what window do Democrats go to to get the same treatment the press gives McCain?"

Have a Pink Floyd Easter
On the way to work this morning I heard the coolest Good Friday/Easter story EVA. I don't know if you guys ever listen to the Glen Beck Program but that is where I heard it. Anyway, while he was giving his overly dramatic interpretation(something about letting the pain hurt today) the Great Gig was popping off in the background. More people need to recognize the pure brilliance that is Pink Floyd.
The Collapse of the Surge
The security gains of the surge in Iraq resulted in a large part from the so-called Sunni awakening. This was, in effect, a buying of the loyalty of Sunni tribes (for about $10 a day per fighter) in the fight against Al-Queda in Iraq. But some Sunnis are claiming that they've never been paid for their services, and are threatening to withdraw their support.

House rejects telecom immunity!
The House of Representatives just passed a FISA measure that does not include immunity for telecommunications companies involved in warrantless surveillance. It does allow these companies to produce, in court, documents which would allow for a legal determination of the legitimacy of the claims filed against them.
Glenn Greenwald has more here.
Official House Democratic spokespersons Onyx had this message for the White House:

First Look at Tropic Thunder.
This is a few days old, but it paints a much better picture of the movie than did the teaser.
Monday, March 10, 2008
Oh my god! Mother nature just pissed her pantsuit.
Teaser trailer for the new Ben Stiller flick, Tropic Thunder. In addition to Stiller, the cast includes Jack Black, Ironman Robert Downey, Jr. as a black dude, and Nick Nolte.
The trailer, alas, shows very little, so here's the upshot is that a bunch of actors making a Vietnam movie are forced to become real soldiers.
was gonna post a comment about why the macbook air sucks but the comment window is messed up...doesnt let me add a comment, and even if i could the window comes up way too small and isn't re-sizable :-(
by the way though...
The macbook air
is too expensive
has no optical drive
has no ethernet port
has no firewire port
has ONE usb port
has MONO speakers
has slow 4800 rpm hard drive (because its smaller)
has slow processor (maxes out at 1.6)
I'd wait a while...
TSA Can't Believe Macbook Air is Real.

And also have you guys seen the commercial for these?

in fact, the phrases "manchild" and "not fit for polite society" are often used to describe me. But I do know this: Kate Hudson has a fantastic ass.

Wikileaks: global defense of sources and press freedoms, circa now—
"Wikileaks is developing an uncensorable Wikipedia for untraceable mass document leaking and analysis. Our primary interest is in exposing oppressive regimes in Asia, the former Soviet bloc, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, but we also expect to be of assistance to people of all regions who wish to reveal unethical behavior in their governments and corporations. We aim for maximum political impact. Our interface is identical to Wikipedia and usable by all types of people. We have received over 1.2 million documents so far from dissident communities and anonymous sources."
Got some pretty good stuff on there, and make sure to check out the whole saga with Wikileaks being shut down by a Federal Judge over leaking documents about a prominent Swiss bank's private account activities in the Cayman Islands and their subsequent re-establishment (decision was overturned) just a few days ago!

garfield minus garfield
" Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against lonliness and methamphetamine addiction in a quiet American suburb."
