    婦女是邪惡! 它不將被相信, 人I 想法是我戀愛了與有熱的亂倫性與某些前監獄同屋同居人與愛滋病。 血淋淋的資本家美國愛滋病!!!

    Give me reasons to not baleet this here journal and just give up on the Internet entirely. . .

    (And no, fantasy football leagues don't count, since it's not like I've watched more than half of a NFL game this year anyway. . . Blame NASCAR, RAW, and sleep . . .)

    I might start a separate and highly anonymous all-programming blog, which will talk about nothing but programming (and perhaps the odd cat and/or firearm related thing, but the cat will be anonymous, too), because I still want people to test the things I create, but beyond that, my personal life and the Internet are two separate entities from this point forward.

    Nothing against anyone here, the person who inspired this rant isn't even an LJ user, but I feel this is necessary, unless someone can talk me out of it, anyway . . .

    Which Nigerian spammer are you?
    You are LAWRENCE OBI. You are Bank Manager of Zenith Bank Lagos, Nigeria. You will share with me 30% of the $26.5 million that BARRY KELLY who died with a WILL left in your bank.  You put the money in two trunks and want me to claim the money.
    Which Nigerian spammer are You?

    Also, I got a letter back from that name cult concering the potential of the name "Cliche Moth Software". . .

    Analysis of Business Name: Cliche Moth Software
    ======================================================

    This company would thrive on new challenges, new experiences and opportunities, which would allow it to exercise flexibility, promotional and creative abilities to the fullest. However, there will be a lack of system and order in the company. Employees would not always know what is expected of them and chaotic conditions would be the result.

    Ideas will be implemented on the spur of the moment without enough planning. There will be great enthusiasm over a new project, new customer etc but it will be difficult to keep the enthusiasm long enough to finish all the details to bring things to a successful conclusion.

    There is great independence of thinking within management and staff which makes it difficult to create a cohesive workforce. There will be disappointments in people and friction in its undertakings.

    The unsettled and turbulent conditions offset the potential for success for this company. Unfinished business, whether it is internal systems or in projects, will limit the overall success. It will be difficult to create long term financial accumulation with this name.


    In short, it sounds like the name of every other computer-related business. I, however, want to create a heartless megacorporation known for its stability . . . CompuStolid, maybe, or Mom's Diner? :)

    Tornado warning earlier, which as usual, didn't affect us really because of geography. In fact, even the TV weather fruitcakes gave up on it after 30 minutes and switched back to watching somebody dress a Chihuahua up as either Glenn Hughes or Holden McGroin on the Montel Williams show. The post-war backlash has already started, even though we're still in the war . . . I hereby expect that an unnaturally intelligent cat will be added to the cast of CSI by the 2006 season, if it and the whole crime genre doesn't find itself replaced by things about food, family, God, and the aforementioned cute animals. . . Not that that necessarily bothers me much . . .

    Erleichda. That is all.

    Stuff and things.
    Is there some sort of sexual reference in Japanese that translates to "cherry tree fragrance"? Been running across it a lot on Babelfished pages?

    ---

    And also, I talk about it a lot, but this time, I actually did it . . . Calling a caller a selfish git, that is . . . Not only did this person call with the sole intention of wanting me to provide her voyeuristic glee into her daughter's relationship, she decided to spend time insulting other random people, and all the while, I was trying to explain to her what the cards were very clearly showing me (not that it wasn't a Duh Magazine articla already): That she was the problem . . . Amazingly, she took it quite well, probably because it was fucking true. . .

    Oh, and if someone w/ broadband can grab the "Beginner's Guide to DarkBasic Programming" (the much smaller txt/HTML versions would be preferred) off P2P for me and post it somewhere, I'd be eternally grateful. . . BT hates me . . .

    4r^2!!!!
    Really. Boring-ass week from heck. Lost the cat, found the cat again later, done college stuff, get no calls, sleep, watched Survivor (the spoilers were finally wrong, meaning that the interesting part begins next week, or at least the part with nudity in it), got a few more books for by books-based-on-movies collection (including an interesting interpretation of the entire "Smokey and the Bandit" trilogy from the POV of the Bandit, which is hilarious as hell), called the girl a few times, bought an uninteresting Buy-Sell Bulletin . . .

    But Alabama Pi chafes my groin . . .

    Not because it's an insulting depiction of my home state, mind you.

    Because it's a less insulting one than it could be. . . The state legislature actually voted for pi to be 4 , not 3. That's worse, and it even got us in Guinness at one point, I believe under, stupidest interpretation of pi.

    4r^2, fools. 4r^2!!!

    New variant on the Nigeria scam . . . WTF?
    Just got one of these I hadn't seen before. However, instead of being money held up by political turmoil, civil war, coal mine accidents, or other such classic disasters, some fictitious female named "Melissa Kathleen" in Belgium couldn't receive the assets of her husband, who recently died of AIDS . . .

    Now, while tragic, it is a preventable illness, and definitely not in the same league as disenfranchised Eritrean refugees or the former CIA-backed government of Zaire . . .

    Also, Belgium (despite being a dirty word on all planets other than Earth), is not an impoverished developing nation. In fact, I'm pretty sure it has one of the highest standards of living, health care, education, etc. in the world, not to mention being a center of international finance and the world peace movement.

    Failed sympathy ploy, Ms. Kathleen (which I guess is a traditional Belgian last name).

    This one isn't quite as pizzahutian as the one [info]kiriko_moth got, but the author graciously allows you to see all the answers anyway . . .

    Classic.

    Lopevi Tribe = Teh Suck. How retarded are these guys? I mean, you have someone who is completely freaking useless, and you keep him over the guy who actually caught the fish? It almost makes me hope for a fourth straight female Survivor winner, because these clowns need to go back to P. T. Barnum or something . . .

    That Vice-Presidential debate parody last night was hilarious . .
    The way the guy playing Dick Cheney kept pretending that things were going great in Iraq and that Halliburton wasn't a corrupt company . . . COMEDY GOLD!!!

    The whole bit where he refused to talk about jobs when the question was clearly about jobs . . . OMGLOFL!!!

    The way the dude playing Edwards went off on some tangent about this little kid that got her intestines ripped out by a swimming pool drain cover when Cheney was talking about how we need lower medical malpractice insurance . . . MUHAHAHA!!! What, did he represent all the victims of The Guy With A Hook For A Hand, too . . . Or how about the family of that lady who decided to hide in a steamer trunk on her wedding day?

    Edwards lack of response of any kind to being called "Senator Gone" . . . They could have tossed a line in there. Maybe "Well, having a mistress is a difficult responsibility, I can't give it up for legislation, now, can I?" or "At least I don't hunt children for sport." or something.

    Oh, wait . . .

    That was the real debate! Shit!

    If anybody watched that and didn't register Libertarian immediately afterwards, What is wrong with you? If we don't vote for them, we have an excuse to protest the eventual rigged election and burninate/lootinate some shit!

    And that is sad about the little kid in the swimming pool . . .

    ----

    Thought up a new idea for a reality show. Don't know if anybody watched "Wanda Does It" last night on Comedy Central, but you probably should have, because well, Wanda Sykes owns you! And is kind of hot, to boot. Shame Fox pissed all over that last sitcom she had, because that was some of the funniest shit they've ever put on the air, and that includes Michael Waltrip. . .

    Anyway, the premise is that she learns how to do something really quickly, such as flying a plane in this week's episode. Now, she is obviously a highly intelligent and perceptive woman who is capable of doing this . . . But what if you took this general concept and applied it to. . .

    "Hi! I'm George Dubya Bush, and I'm unemployed . . . I was a shitty oilman, a shitty baseball executive, an even shittier President, and I'm from Texas and can't even ride a damn horse! On this show, I will prove that I can do something without being a complete fuckup. This week, I explore the exciting world of McDonalds!!!"

    In other episodes, he could be a:

    Wal-Mart cake decorator (if my crazy ex couldn't even fuck that up. . .)
    Everquest guild leader
    Pre-surgical veterinary aesthetician (aka, the guy who shaves cats before neutering and spaying)
    Telephone psychic (Let me train him!!! PLEASE!!!)
    Transsexual prostitute (He could stumble over "Hey, Baby, want some of this!"

    Anyway, you get the idea . .

    ----

    Looking at this list of films in the now-highly defunct CED format made me nostalgic . . . I want copies of a lot of this B-list early 80s stuff, dammit . . . And, well, any VHS tapes out there have probably been bashed to shit and a lot of this stuff isn't available, much less easy to find on DVD . . .

    If "My Name Is Nobody" had been released on CED, I think I would have already bought one of these puppies on eBay. . . Actually, there's a player at the old reliable H&H, which I've considered getting, if only because there's cool shit you can do when you interface it with a Colecovision . . . Can you say "Playing Pepper II with early Jodie Foster film serving as the background instead of a plain black screen?" Onga-onga.

    Fall always makes me feel highly retro for some reason. . . Maybe it's the light level or the leaves or the fact that my birthday falls in this time frame, but I don't get it . . . But it takes me back and usually involves listening to even more gloppy post-hippie, pre-Madonna pop than usual.

    Erleichda, that is all . . .

    B'Gak . . .
    No, that's not Klingon. It's the sound the cat's making behind me . . . I don't see how a short haired cat gets so many hairballs . . . Unless he's licking my scalp in my sleep, in which case he's a really weird kitten . . .

    From the Ironic Justice Files: Dale Earnhardt Jr., aka the Golgothan Shit Demon, Retardantilus, just got docked 25 crucial Nextel Cup points . Why, you may ask? Is it some new rule instituted by NASCAR management that says that you get docked points if you're a complete moron and you suck? Nah, we only wish. Did he get caught using some of those nifty cheaty parts that they probably hide somewhere in the International Motorsports Museum (aka the only tourist attraction of note in this corner of nowhere, unless you count caves) because they never do shit anyplace else? He gets caught every year, they just don't care. Now, if you're Jimmy Q. Fieldfiller in the #3.8x10^12 MyCousinsConstructionCompany.com Hudson Hornet, you'll get busted for putting the driver's signature upside down on the door, but not if you drive for Overrated Deadguy Inc.

    No, he's now in second place because his stupid ass said "shit" live on NBC. Normally, I'd consider this a bit of hypocritical censorship coming from a TV network that'd show hardcore porn in primetime if they could get away with it and he got kabonged because he's not a resident of New York or Los Angeles . . .

    But no. It's Junior. He deserves it. Why? Because I fucking say so.

    Still absolutely jack shit in the way of calls . . . But they've been far better . . . What is it with South Asian people and me? I seem to get oodles of calls from them and they're almost always good. . . Usually currently residing in either NYC or Toronto, too . . . I wonder if I've developed a reputation there . . . Could be because they're more in tune with the universe, unlike say, gittish redneck twits from West Sixtoe, Arkansas who look upon me as some cross between Gil Grissom and the Tooth Fairy . . . Yes, I could make them call you, but I'd rather make them call ME, and tell them to call you. :) I think I actually did that once . . .

    My 12-year old cousin and frequent Quake III opponent got the living shit kicked out of him by two other kids at Friday's football game :(. Why? Well, because his little sister, who even Victorian finishing school would fail to turn into anything other than a future nasty ghetto uber-git, told the other guys that he called them fags . . This is the same little girl who shaves cats, BTW?

    And their mother, my Aunt from Hell, decided that she needed to go to the doctor for her chronic illness, known in medical circles as "Being A Lying Junkie Who Just Wants To Score Some Fucking Hydrocodone". Apparently, she has some problem connected to having 3 abortions within a year (and having the sheer brass nads to make me late for work while I waited in the car, blithely unaware she was getting #2) and not realizing that maybe she should switch to doing anal while her other orifice here . . . On second thought, no, her doing repeated anal with anyone would not be a good idea . .

    Two words: RECTAL PROLAPSE. . .

    More random things . . .
    Stores full of random crap rock, that is, unless it is really crap.

    Got dragged to this place called simply "The Warehouse", which is full of really uninteresting stuff.

    Almost bought a motor scooter, though, but didn't have the cash on hand, the only other things.
    that deserves mention were the continuing disturbing presence of tons of bootleg Dale Earnhardt merch, the equally dubious Pokemon motion lamp which looked far cooler than most of the licensed stuff, and GI Joe Platoon Punch Survival Beverage.

    GI Joe Platoon Punch Survival Beverage is considerably fruitier than anything that should bear the name of that dedicated team of Real American Heroes. Sergeant Slaughter would call this a Cobra plot and resort to drinking his own urine. I suggest the following names:

    Cheat Commandos Reynold Red Survival Beverage

    Chemical Goo What Hides The Flavor of Cheap Booze

    Chemist Barbie's Artificial Flavoring Vat.

    Seriously, that shit was foul.

    Also found a steering wheel controller for my N64. Considering that I haven't had a functional controller in over a year (and that most of the games I own are driving games, anyway), that was a nice find.

    Didn't get it at The Warehouse, though, my aunt found it tucked in the closet from when they had one.

    The little yellow kitten has decided that the spare bed is to be his litterbox. Note that the cunning little bastard won't shit in this room where I can easily find it. He's sneaky.

    Survivor tonight, and there is a chance that this episode remains unspoiled. After that, the Presidential Debate: I bring you DEBATE SPOILERS!!!

    * George W. Bush repeatedly stumbles over the word ecomon -- emoc -- economic.

    * John Kerry blatantly makes a Kennedy reference in a cheap attempt to gain a rub.

    * All the audience questions will be posed by Illuminati shills.

    * Bush will be folksy and colorful, while Kerry will show New England reserve.

    * Both men served honorably in the military, really. In fact, as part of the top-secret A-Team, they foiled many terrorist plots with their good buddies Dirk Benedict and Mr. T.

    * Bush misquotes the Bible, because his handlers can't be bothered to read it either.

    * After watching it, you'll ignore Ralph Nader's strabismus and/or the fact that you can't pronounce "Badnarik".

    Heh . . . AtariAge.com . . . PWNED!!!!
    Gotta love the ironic justice . . .

    AtariAge, the same people who shoved Hozer out of business, who whine like little tiny babies whenever the much more professional folks at Digit Press release something first, or perhaps hold off to actually sell some games to support their convention, who allow forum posts that advocate genocide (while banning anyone who even brings up the aforementioned kerfluffles with Hozer/DP) are getting a taste of their own medicine, courtesy of the new and improved French-owned Atari . . . 1

    Basically, they have to stop selling any games that are hacks/reproductions/completely new concoctions with great resemblance to stuff Atari owns the copyright to. . . And presumably they'll eventually have to stop making packaging that's a cheap copy of the originals, also. . .

    And I love it.

    For one, it's not like the ROMs aren't out there, they were out there before this bunch of pisswads took over the whole hobby for themselves. And they will continue to be . . .

    As for homebrew development, Ebivision, Pleasant Valley, Hozer, and others existed before them, and other people have cart manufacturing capabilities. And it's not affecting truly original titles that aren't just clones of existing games.

    And this seems to be leading to having the actual games be playable with new hardware that's better suited to them than a PC could be. Emulators don't have the same feel, if only because the controllers aren't the same. And they will be affordable, widely available, and not dependent on the whims of obsessed lunatics.

    GO NEW ATARI!!! Seriously, this seals the deal on whether or not I'm going to buy UT2K4, I sure am . . . Two copies, in fact, I'll give one to my cousin, because he's fun to frag. :)

    And I'm buying the Flashback console for sure, too. I've never gotten to play Solaris on the real thing, and the controls are hideous on emu.

    Still very few calls and no picture . . . B-to-the-L-to-the-E-to-the-double C-to the-H!

    Think I'm gonna try an Australian accent . . .

    A tribute to Wide World of Sports . . .
    I wanted to find a picture of the classic 80s-tacular logo to head up this piece, but I couldn't find one . . . All I could find were pictures of the sign at the Disney theme park currently using the name (I assume this is the same complex that was Ringling Bros. Circus World back in the day, and later became Boardwalk & Baseball and served as the spring training facilities for the Kansas City Royals. . . And may still, for all I know.)

    But I don't care about their fancy complex.

    It's the freaking show I miss . . .

    Return of the Bride of Buy Sell Bulletin!!!
    More goodies from East Alabama's redneck Internet on paper.



    "CAMEL MERCHANDISE some original from 1980-1990. Camel bucks. ###-####"



    So, you want to give people Camel merchandise in exchange for their Camel Cash, eh? Uh, R. J. Reynolds already does that and probably doesn't want you horning on their territory . . . You'll be getting a visit from two spitting rednecks armed with a cement mixer and some chicken-wire soon . . . Hope you like fish . . .



    "CASE XX STAG HANDLE FOLDING HUNTER KNIFE Damascus steel blade, new cond, never sharpened, must sell $75 OBO ###-####, possible trade for other knives.

    CASE XX STAG WITH DAMASCUS BLADE Rare combo, folding hunter never sharpened. Must sell. Books at #250. $100. ###-#### before 8:30 pm."



    This one is notable because the same person posted them both. Doesn't that sound suspiciously like he's trying to sell the same knife for two different prices? And of course, is undercutting himself in doing so. Who's going to call and say "I know they're the same, but I want the $100 one"?



    "REPLICA HOOD OF JEFF GORDON'S CAR officially licensed NASCAR product. ###-####"



    Some interior decorator who just happens to own a Monte Carlo1 is probably thinking "Should I put it on my car or in the breakfast nook?"



    "BUDWEISER NEON SIGN red & white, new, one that has the big B in the middle $125 ###-####"



    Take it back to the bar you stole it from before they miss it. If somebody else wants one, they'll just get it the same way. Neon signs need stories to be interesting. Unless they were designed by Lily Lakich . . .



    "12 HANK WILLIAMS JR CASSETTES some never played, $50 for all, ###-####"



    You must remember this is America and Alabama at that. In the UK, they'd be Queen. In Canada, probably some band with Randy Bachman in it. In Morocco, someone who ululates a lot. Poor sap left them in the car too long . . .



    "APPROX 200 GOSPEL ALBUMS most name brand quartets from 1950-1970s, $2 ea or $100 all. ###-####"



    'Do you have the Brand X Gospel Quartet? They did that song, uh, what's it called, that one about amazing grace?'



    'NO!!!! Read the ad!!!'



    "ARCADE GAMES, FULL SIZE ###-#### before 8 pm"



    I'm tempted to call and see if they have Lady Bug, Mr. Do's Castle, or Galaga. . . I'd have to consider buying it . . .



    "MUSICIANS WANTED Christian band needs experienced Christian musician to form band, needed are rhythm guitar, bass player, keyboard player, lead singer, female backup singer. We have drummer, lead singer, and 1 female singer. We play newer Christian rock, Christian praise & worship, country gospel, and we have rewritten some of the 60s and 70s rock. Everything from Allman Bros. to ZZ Top w/ Christian lyrics. NO EGOS or ATTITUDES need apply. Name ###-#### or Name ###-###-#### after 8 pm. http://www.lookyngupwyrd.com/ "



    Yes, that's the actual link to the band's page. . . I could do a whole post on these clowns, couldn't I?



    Rewritten classic rock, eh? I bet they do "We're Bad, We're Sanctified", "Christperado", "Cat Scratch Jesus", and of course, because Jimmy Buffett uncool-ly charges people to cover his songs, they probably can't get away with "My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink, and I Do Love Jesus".



    ROLL TIDE ROLL This message is for Big Orange. Last time I checked classy wasn't being a liar and a crybaby like UT's coach [ Coot's note: This all has to do with some tedious recruiting kerfluffle that I don't care to go into detail about. Suffice it to say, Tennessee was responsible for the Alabama Menstrual Flow being put on double secret NCAA probation and they suck.], because he can't ever hope to have a program as good as Bama's. And as far as downgrading our program last time I checked was on that schedule who as you say it had a magnificent victory over UNLV which is no more than a Junior College itself, and it also took 5 OTs to barely win over Bama with all our probation hindering us. Besides, Bama could stop playing [ Coot's note: And they'll have to if they get caught again ] and UT still wouldn't be able to match all the accomplishments under our belt. So until you can get a real football team don't talk about the great ones"



    UNLV a junior college? Hello, basketball counts . . . And War Eagle, motherfuckers . . .



    And finally. . .



    "BARBIE Colorado University, still in box, exc cond. $45."



    Surely Mattel regrets this one now, after the piles of scandal that make the University of Colorado football program look like the WWE locker room, minus the workrate.



    The official Barbie University of Colorado playset also contains 5 Offensive Lineman Ken dolls, with real steroid needles, a Coach Gary Barnett action figure with alternating Leering Perv and Looking The Other Way action, and a whole kilo of powdered GHB. Probably a stripper pole in there somewhere, also.



    That's better than the Baylor playset, which includes 1 Dead Basketball Player Ken doll, several pounds of marijuana, and a smoking handgun for Barbie to continue to pump rounds into Dead Basketball Player Ken's corpse.

    I have almost completed the replacement of all first-party components from my PC . . .

    Running BlackBox for a taskbar, with VirtuaWin supplying multiple desktops, foobar2000 playing audio, Mozilla for browseage, ThinkFree Office for those paper things, and Gaim for IMs. . .

    Great race tonight, better anthem, too. Unfortunately Kasey Kahne didn't make the top 10, so he won't win the title, and I won't get to make a caconomenological congratulation post . . .

    Watching a rerun of The District on USA earlier got me thinking. . . Having to pose as a kid to bust sick pedophile fucktards would be an annoying job . . . Perhaps the urban legend about FBI agents assigned to that task beginning to think that they're kids is actually true . . .

    http://vhypno.sourceforge.net/ <--- I wonder if this puppy could convince me I'm creative. . . If not, poking fun at it would make a good post . . .

    And all of the above are availabla on Sourceforge also, except for ThinkFree, which you can purchase at America's Favorite Red Chinese Heroin Front, Wal-Mart, and 2xplorer, which is on Simtel.net . . .

    Now, if I only knew how to replace that freaking logo screen with something else . . .

    My official full pre-Survivor prediction list . . ..
    That constitutes this whole post. If you don't care about the show, you probably wouldn't be interested, so:

    Read more... )

    NASCAR or <a href = "http://www.lemonparty.com/> Grandpa all-gay five-way </a>: Take your pick. <lj-cut> Should be a great race in two hours. Last night's Busch race was full of action. . . The worst part was the anthem. . . Kinda disappointed by Big and Rich's rendition. . . They didn't forget the words or anything, they just put zip emotion behind it . . . That's never cool, either. And as for my race prediction, I won't pick it. This is the race that once got redflagged for 12 hours and ran to midnight Sunday night. You can't pick Richmond. Absent craziness, though, it'll be Johnson or Gordon again, because they have the hook up. </lj-cut> In other news, absolutely nothing has happened. On the anniversary of the biggest act of treason ever conducted by an US presidential administration (Unlike <lj user = laridian> , I'll say it. Bush and his buddies planned the whole thing. They killed thousands of people to set up there cunning little war. They'll get theirs eventually, and 50 years from now, the name "Bush" will be as universally anathema as "Hitler". Erleichda. That is all.

    Stuff and things . . .
    Dammit, still no calls . . .

    Neat site with a bunch of music-related utilities. . . And all free, too . . . Not to mention the best voice-synthesis thing I've ever encountered . . . You can actually make it sound almost human, if people with stomas count . . .

    I think I actually have an idea for [info]lordrexfear 's project now . . . A political one, of course, since that's totally inescapable in this election year . . .

    Been trying to find Satanic backmasking in my mp3 collection . . . Needless to say, I'm disappointed that the only one I found so far was in a Carpenters song . . . Let's face it, if Dio never did it, it almost certainly never happened. Come on, he's fucking Dio, he's all about the Prince of Darkness, and he's never stuck any cute backwardsy shit in a song. At least any from the 6-album torrent I have . . .

    Survivor premieres in a week, yay!!! Early prediction: Goodbye, Brook Geraghty, aka "that guy who sounds way too eerily much like Boston Rob". It's definitely a guy going first, since the episode 2 title seems to hint at a 3/3/3 split among the women, between the prissy sorority types, the young redneck/tough girls, and the older ones . . .

    Birthday in 12 days. super-yay . . .

    Cat-related hijinks . . .
    Well, Jake the tiny yellow kitten's tiny yellow little brother is in the house hiding somewhere . . . His name is now officially Houdini. The cat redefines invisibility, I tell you . . . Pixel would be appropriate, too, come to think of it . . .

    And Sweetie had kittens, two so far, anyway, and is ignoring them . . . Damn cat's like my aunt, I tell you . . .

    Yesterdaybor Day was Labor Day . . .
    Feh. That is all, just feh.

    Calls are dead. McDonald's is sounding better all the time . . .

    A good analysis of the popularity of soap operas. Seriously, if anybody here actually watches the pieces of shit, is this accurate? I've long considered writing a spec script for one just to do something not-funny . . .

    Two words: CONTRA CODE!!! For all the ladies who complain that guys are more interested in video games than them. I bemoan the lack of analog controls. :) That, and if the design ran up and down, the control pad could be in a very useful place.

    Got Jake this like really long rat-on-a-string thing . . . It took longer to untie it from the box than it did to install Windows X-Treme Pain-in-the-Ass Shit Pak 2. He loves it, though . . . Looks like Sweetie is about to have kittens, so we let her in, amazingly, she didn't beat the snot out of Jake this time either . . .

    我嚴重考慮轉換成回教。

    照亮, 大家, 是全部。
