essentialsaltesHopefully it's just for the landscaping they've been working on, but there's policecars (hmmm... I typed 'policecats') blocking the intersection at Sepulveda and Westchester Parkway. No one (!) is being allowed to go south (towards LAX). There's a lot of angry cars in the neighborhood. And no line at In-N-Out.
Best/Saddest part of a Wall Street Journal article on the death of Myspace:
Ouch.
Dungeons & Dragons player tried for murder after killing co-worker with homemade sword: "Roby said Flemons was obsessed with magic, fantasy, the occult, voodoo, Santeria, telekinesis and spirits." Why did none of those things make it into the headline?

You may have heard about Michael J. Fox's campaign ad where he shakes his head and shakes his fist at those who would halt stem cell research. Apparently, there's a response ad with some jocks and some woman I never heard of. Wait, that face... Hey, it's annoying Albertson's woman! Let's see what we can... whoa, annoying Albertson's woman is Honorary Chair of Feminists for Life. And she hosts a stand-up DVD with seven comedians "who all just happen to be Christian." I mean to say, what are the odds? [Okay, it's true the Zionist conspiracy controls comedy.]
Best/Saddest part of a Wall Street Journal article on the death of Myspace:
The guerrilla marketing has driven away James Kalyn, a 30-year-old technical writer in Regina, Saskatchewan. He kept receiving friend requests from half-naked female strangers through his MySpace page. Clicking on a request usually led to a profile that turned out to be an ad for a pornography site. At first, Mr. Kalyn was excited that "these hot girls allegedly wanted to be my friend." But after looking at a few profiles, he realized: "If it's a picture of someone fairly attractive, they're probably not my friend in real life."
Ouch.

Where to start?
Date: 2006-10-26 10:04 pm (UTC)James is a brainiac, himself, if it took him more than .05 seconds to come to that amazing conclusion. Fuck MySpace. God, I hate it.
Yeah for real brainiacs! Better than some slack jawed yokel. Not that I am biased against slack jawed yokels. ok, I am.
Fuck Patricia Heaton. I am now officially boycotting anything she does. Not that means anything, but fuck her.
Christian comedians? I'll skip the obvious joke. Why do Christians have to identify themselves as members of the club? I don't run around saying, "I'm Neph, atheist tech writer" "I'm Neph, belly dancing atheist" Why don't we just hyphenate everything. African-American. Christian-American. American hating-American (that's Democrat to some)

Actually, one of the funniest people on the planet is a "Christian" comedian named Mike Warnke who was big in the 80s. Of course, it turned out that he's a HUGE con artist who also digs booze, women and lots of other garden variety "sins." :D

He apparently has, and now the realization of the deception and self-deception has crushed his little Canadian ego. Originally, I was going to add one of the spammy messages to my post, but I'd deleted them all, but friendster came through with one this morning:

Date: 2006-10-27 05:01 pm (UTC)Would it be worth it? The self-identified Christian media market is much bigger than the self-identified atheist media market (take that, Dawkins!). But it's still a niche in the whole mass-media; and you'd have to live in that world, cosying up to your new fan-base and fellow Christian artists. If you go that route, I promise to insist loudly that you're still an atheist so that the Christian community rallies around you in support.

(HAHAHAHAHAH!)
They threw bibles to the crowds and all the girls lusted after Michael Sweet. Then they sold out and went mainstream, which pissed off all the Christians -- and, of course, ended their career.
Those were the days.
