High Water Everywhere
I was just there last year. I mean, I didn't stop or anything. But US 12 is the shit for motorcyclists wishing to avoid the madness of I-90.

I said "I can do that, " and then tried. After 10 minutes, it looked exactly right. Therefore Anyone who says "I can do that" has tried.

I would jump for joy, but I'm an artist now. And we sulk.

Illegal downloaders 'face UK ban'
Shouldn't whoever leaked the proposal, and everyone that published it or linked to it (or commented on it) be severely punished?

Oscar winning shorts
I liked the Mel Brooks one (The Critic). But then, I laugh at anybody saying anything in that accent. See, I'm simple.

BBC launch Flash version of iPlayer
I think all the UK shows I liked that were rebroadcast in the late 70's in Chicago were from something called The Thames Network (which for all I know was part of the BBC). To whom should I bitch about not having free global access to every episode of No Honestly and The Two Ronnies? Thank you for your prompt attention.

An arborist in a helicopter
I totally thought that said "abortionist" for a second. But this really doesn't add anything to the discussion. Sorry.

The cool thing about "crazy detailed metrics" is that it should improve marketing in general until people only are targeted with messages that pertain to them.
The bad part is that anyone in a position to acess these numbers is probably lying. It's a known fact that 83% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

The pontification of student dumbness and unworthiness was all ba's.
Just to be clear, if anyone cares, I thought it was kind of a cool project. The crossed out line about stupidity was my (admitedly lame) attempt at a joke. I meant it as a prememptive strike at what I thought the majority opinion would be. I was off on both the majority position, and the decision to put in that "joke" in the first place. I am in no way pontificating on... [more]

Grabs you by the throat
In "related" news, I was working at an ad agency in Germany a few years ago, and an (American) Art Director was presenting an ad with the headline "Full Throttle," at which point all the native German speakers began chuckling. Turns out it sounds very similar to Voll Trottel, which means total moron.... [more]

There's Good In Evel
Wouldn't you remember whether such a sudden, powerful event happened while you were driving, walking down the sidewalk, or sleeping?

I also had the Evel Knieval doll/stunt cycle. He used to fight with (and beat) the stupid blue Evel with the stupid blue chopper (which I also, for some reason, had).

Insurance Transparency Project
Seriously, what's to understand?
From the about page:
Specifically, as things stand now, insurance buyers can’t see two important things: price and performance. It is difficult to know and compare the price of insurance — whether for a policy for homeowners or medical malpractice coverage. More importantly, it’s impossible to know which insurance company is more likely to pay a claim. It’s also hard to know which insurance... [more]

“Nobody. Myself.”
New Orleans! Home of pirates, drunks, and whores!
New Orleans! Tacky over-priced souvenir stores. If you want to go to hell then you should take a trip to the Sodom and Gomorrah of the Mississip'
New Orleans! Stinking, rotten, vomity, vile!
New Orleans! Putrid, brackish, maggoty, foul!
New Orleans! Crummy, lousy, rancid and rank!
New Orleans!
