Page of Fun updated.

Hey Everybody, go here to read my latest article published on the Pro Wrestling Torch.

Peace out.

Way to fix that post, Big Andy. That was props.

Also, the image below. I dunno. I just thought I'd post it.
Those europeans sure do hate Bush. . . and they don't even have to live with his domestic policy.

Way to go, man. You broke the webpage.

And stay off those motorcycles. You'll break your ass on one of those things.

(Man, I broke the webpage!!! Here's an edited post that I hope fixes things)

Okay, WIRED readers: did you notice a 2page ad spread in the June 04 issue, right before the Contents Page? I'll give you a hint: it featured my newest lust object, the near-impossibly badass Honda Rune.



Trust me, it's way cool, and especially so in the ad, which features a Boris Vallejo badass gazing at said ride with red-eyed lust. Of course, it could not possibly displace the Dodge Tomahawk from the spot in my heart that it has held for over a year


www.dodgetomahawk.com

Okay, get this: it's a four-wheeled motorcycle with a V-10 engine, a 2.5 second 0-60, and a theoretical top speed of 420 mph. Theoretical because, well, would you want to test its top end? Not me, boy.
Of course, once we, as a human society, get around to actually making one of these



all bets are off. I would genuinely jump up and buy one. Hell, I might even go all the way out of fantasy-land, and learn to ride the damn thing.

Hey Baby, whaddaya say you and me cruise around Neo-Tokyo and Kill All Humans? Patience Andy, patience...

I still haven't seen any of the Star Wars movies.

Please, no one tell this to Alec Longstreth. He lives within striking distance, and I'd imagine this might incite a pacifist beating. He probably doesn't even remember me, but still...I don't want to take any chances.

Episodes 1 & 2 had some distinct problems. . .mostly that outside of the Jedi Fight scenes, the movies stunk. The acting stunk and the story was spread thin over the span of the movie. Too many irrelevant encounters and moments without any future purpose. This is where the movies departed from the original trilogy. The acting also stunk in those movies, with even Harrison Ford barely getting a passing grade as Han Solo. And the storylines were spread a little to thin to cover the movies. However, the weight of each scene was palpable and believeable. I believe you could take the good parts of the story leading up to a new Hope, and smoosh it into a single movie, maybe two, and it would be much better.

My real question to Lucas is, how long must we sit in deserts with your inept Jedi?


By the way, major props to Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christenson for forgoing great performances (of which they have both shown they are capable) and making the most compelling relationship in entire saga a complete, wooden, bore.

Also, people need to submit me more captions. Pronto.

So here's what a wiseass from Minneapolis thinks George Lucas should do to keep Star Wars III from stinking like hummus farts in a rotten egg factory:

What's the opinion of the InfiniteDriveway community? I haven't seen the Clone Whatever movie yet; the psychic wounds inflicted upon me by J**-J** B**** (can't...bring...self...to...type...name!) are still much too fresh. It might be time to turn the thing into parody and bring in Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson; Shanghai Noon: Gettin' Mean on Tatooine might redeem the bloated, corpulent, putrid pile of ego that is George Lucas, at least a little bit, at least for me. Or maybe a recasting of the entire feel of the picture, ala the Space-Noir of BladeRunner, would provide an adequate lead-in to the unquestioned masterpiece that is the original trilogy (except for those damn Ewoks). So what's the verdict? Stink, okay, or You Suck, Andy George Lucas is a Cinematic Genius! What's more, how to fix 'em? (if they need fixin')

Someone please tell me how a black lab doesn't autmotically win the dog show. It's a black lab.

Stupid Judge.

Page of Fun Updated!!!!

And Claire, congrats on your new gig, and thanks for the nice words! Sorry about Worlds, but all those frisbee guys are trouble anyways.

Well, well, well... It's about freakin' time I post something, it has been a while, after all, and the last thing I wrote was ranting so it's time to have a positive note. (Therefore I will skip on how apalled I was about the stuff that happens in prisons in Iraq, but Andy, those were good posts).
The big news is: I quit my job! Well, I gave the one month notice, but it's now official. No more Freshfields for Claire. I got offered a job at CIEE, also known as Council, and will start on the 21st of June, with just one week end to leap from one job to the other. Which kind of sucked, because I was hoping to get some vacation time in between to go see the Mexican side of the family, but... I'm psyched. I'm really psyched. It's a better pay, students services work, and I get to chose my projects and make sure that they work out, as opposed to working on lawyers' cases all day long. There's a couple of hitches, glitches, catches, "un truc", if you will: they want me to move into Paris itself, so that I become perfectly acquainted with this fine city and enhance my capacity to act as a guide and cultural tour organizer for college students (that's actually a very fun prospect), and I will have a lot more overtime hours, accompanying on trips and whatnots all over France, which means: less Ultimate for Claire. And since the students arrive at the end of August, the first big thing to scrath out is: Worlds in Portugal during the last week of August.

paul when are you going to update your page of fun???? alison FINALLY updated her's including the cool new band called the coffee house regulars...coming to a street corner bar near you!

(thanks to Andrew and Jeff for the suggestion)

Not that I like to encourage the silly/gross forwards that my dad sends me, but this is actually funny.

Here's a picture of James in a hat

Here's some sci-fi style creepy news that nobody seems to understand or know what to do about:

Globe Grows Darker as Sunshine Diminishes 10% to 37%By KENNETH CHANG
In the second half of the 20th century, the world became, quite literally, a darker place.
Defying expectation and easy explanation, hundreds of instruments around the world recorded a drop in sunshine reaching the surface of Earth, as much as 10 percent from the late 1950's to the early 90's, or 2 percent to 3 percent a decade. In some regions like Asia, the United States and Europe, the drop was even steeper. In Hong Kong, sunlight decreased 37 percent.
"There could be a big gorilla sitting on the dining table, and we didn't know about it," said Dr. Veerabhadran Ramanathan, a professor of climate and atmospheric sciences at the University of California, San Diego. "There are many, many issues that it raises."
Satellite measurements show that the sun remains as bright as ever, but that less and less sunlight has been making it through the atmosphere to the ground.
Pollution dims sunlight in two ways, scientists theorize. Some light bounces off soot particles in the air and goes back into outer space. The pollution also causes more water droplets to condense out of air, leading to thicker, darker clouds, which also block more light. For that reason, the dimming appears to be more pronounced on cloudy days than sunny ones. Some less polluted regions have had little or no dimming.
The dynamics of global dimming are not completely understood. Antarctica, which would be expected to have clean air, has also dimmed.
"In general, we don't really understand this thing that's going on," said Dr. Shabtai Cohen, a scientist in the Israeli Agriculture Ministry who has studied dimming for a decade. "And we don't have the whole story."
Dr. Ohmura said he hoped to finish his analysis of the numbers since 1990 by late next month or early July.
"I have a very strong feeling that probably solar radiation is increasing during the last 14 years," he said. He based his hunch, he said, on a reduction in cloud cover and faster melting rates in glaciers.
But clearer, sunnier days could mean bad news for global warming. Instead of cloudiness slowing rising temperatures, sunshine would be expected to accelerate the warming.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

I don't know if this is a Chicken Little moment, or if it is a matter of serious concern. Regardless, it is a trend that crept up on the Men Of Science, one that they do not understand, and one whose consequences are unknown. Also, who knows if this would have been "News" if it weren't for the imminent release of "The Day After Tomorrow." Read the full article in the Science section of today's New York Times.

Welcome home, Paul and Ali! It's so good to have you back...at least virtually.

Guess who just got a new apartment??? Me!!! I am signing the lease on Thursday, and I am wicked excited. It's a one-bedroom apartment, about six blocks from my current apartment, and it's totally great. It has tons of windows and a little view of the mountains and a clawfoot tub and gas heat and stove, and best of all, plenty of room for visitors. Also about twelve thousand mirrors, but what can you do?

It's at the corner of 19th East and East Republican. This may be the most Republican I ever get.

What is up y'all!!! Paul and I are finally back from our week long trip to Arizona and we had a BLAST! As a way to figure out how to use iMovie I made a little quicktime movie of pictures from our trip. The screen has to be small in order to actually see the pictures clearly so my next project is going to figure out how to get some nice big pictures up in a cool way. Anyway, for now enjoy this movie!


PS if you don't have quicktime you can get it here

These pictures pretty have smashed any credibility America has with the rest of the world. Of course, that's never mattered much to most Americans (hence Bush's continued ability to float in the polls). All politics aside, the troops shown in those pictures should be tried for TREASON. Their actions have recruited more terrorists than any war-mongering fundamentalist cleric could in a two week period. Conviction for their crimes should prompt the harshest sentence for the crime of treason.

Would firing Rumsfeld make the situation any better? I don't think so. I haven't heard of any foreign leaders calling for him to step down. Do I want him to step down? Yes, in that American lives would be better off without Rumsfeld as part of the cabinet. But this situation is beyond assuaging. Someone's going to take the bullet for Rummy. I believe the guy's name is Oliver North #2. Right now, nothing can redeem Americans short of electing someone other than George Bush to the presidency. An impeachment would be best.

Watching your country slowly, slowly crumble in front of the rest of the world is sobering beyond comparison.
