Cherry Blossom
Would this poster make you want to see the movie? Not me. I'm not into freaky balloon animal clown chicks. (If you get a missing image, just click it for the big size. They still haven't addressed that problem at that site.)
I'm Sorry
I'm really sorry to be the one that causes this aural and visual thing to be entered into your consciousness. Have fun keeping your lunch down.

Porsche 550 Spyder
This thing is a blast to drive when it's all hopped up and stuff. At Le Mans, coming onto the front straight.

Heading for the Mulsanne Straight, where I got it up to 148mph. And I didn't even pull a James Dean.

Maybe I did pull a James Dean, because I've got no legs to work the pedals! Augh!

Seeburg 1000 Background Music System
This thing is so damn cool! Watch how the top and bottom axles rotate in opposite directions so the grooves are going the right way for the tonearm. And watch for the entire stack to rise back to the top. I wonder how many stores I heard one of these in?
The guy couldn't figure out that he needed to loosen those wing nuts, which allow the spring suspension to absorb the shocks of him closing the door too hard. And that annoying voice! Where are his brothers Daryll and Daryll?

Mad Magazine
It's what all the smart guys in the future will read.

Kim got me this Schecter Hellraiser in Black Cherry for my birthday. Can't believe they finally had one in stock that didn't have bats on the fretboard. Coil taps on the volume knobs (yes, 2 knobs so I can go all Ace Frehley with the pickup switch).

How Hard Can It Be?
We use FileMaker Pro for tracking our bugs at work. It's shared among developers and testers/support. If one person is editing a record, nobody else can use that record; can't even scroll a scrolling text field if it contains more text than is visible (which is a pretty stupid UI peculiarity). Everybody knows this, but it seems like I'm the only person who remembers it when I use the db. Everybody else will leave records "active" and then go do something else or even go home for the day, preventing everybody else from being able to edit it. We've used the same db since about 1998, yet people still do this on a daily basis and I have to send them a message asking if they're done editing the bug, when I really know they just aren't using their goddamn brain. Like right now I'm looking at a bug that's assigned to me and nobody has any business editing, yet somebody in Peoria clicked into it or something and now I can't do a fucking thing.
I'm just bitching. This pisses me off. Ah! 21 minutes later he finally gets my email and clicks out of the bug.

A Prayer for Cool
This is great. A modern film shot on Super8. I love the expression Foo Man Lou gives after Smokey hands him a cigarette.
a prayer for cool from Marc Bencivenga on Vimeo.
Flustered by the presence of super smooth biker "Smokey", Foo Man Lou attempts to kick start his new chopper. Frustrated with Foo Man's failed attempts and lack of finesse, Smokey has just about had it until a visit from the divine changes Foo Man Lou forever.

Teach 'em Young
Teach kids from an early age that it's OK to be fat, lazy hogs, overeat lots and lots of shitty food, and drive little carts around in a store. That kid'll be drunk, dirty, and pregnant by the time she's 15, if she can hold out that long. I bet she can already quote entire Larry the Cable Guy routines from having watched the DVDs over and over while munching on boxes of Ding Dongs and drinking 2 liter bottles of cheap WalMart pop.

Rap "Artist" "Helped" "Prevent" "Suicide"
HA! I say again, HA! This thug has been in trouble for weapons and drugs, and now some suicidal guy decides not to kill himself because some rapper said he could talk to him if he came down? Gimme a break. This is a total marketing ploy to show how nice and good this piece of shit is.

Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster
I had a hankerin' to watch this again a couple weeks ago, realized I didn't have it, and luckily found it at B&N. It's one of my favorite Godzilla movies. I remember wanting to see it so badly when it first came out. It was playing as a double feature at the Washington drive–in. I can't remember what the other movie was, but it was the perfect compliment to it. I pleaded my parents to take me, but it never happened. I was so pissed. It took decades before I finally saw it.

Cars of the Rich and Famous (in Their Own Minds)
Black guys like to take big ugly 4–doors and make them even uglier by painting their favorite food logos all over them and adding big stupid wheels in matching colors. It's usually stuff like Skittles or Reeses. Aren't these choices a little obvious? I'm waiting for the Colt 45 and Kool Filter Kings cars next.

Zappa Ad
This is weird. I was reading a Sgt. Fury comic book I downloaded and one of the ads was for Zappa's We're Only in It for the Money album. Normally, ads are for xray glasses, a lifesize Franekstein monster, Sea Monkeys, or a complete set of revolutionary war soldiers (oh boy). This is the first time I've seen an album in a comic book, much less one from Zappa. And look; it's expensive! It says so right there.

TAGS Comic Book
Well wadda ya know? Here's a comic book for The Andy Griffith Show. I just downloaded it and took a quick peak inside. Anj kinda looks like Anj sometimes, and you can tell which one is Barn and which one is Floyd, etc, but Opie has yellow hair and called Andy "dad" instead of "pa" in his first panel. Oh, and Aunt Bee has a big fluffy pompadour, like some showy Southern evangelist. Still, what a find this is.
BTW, the comic that was posted right before this one was Tom Landry and the Dallas Cowboys. I hope they fought crime or did funny antics.

Attention! Ninja here!
As everyone knows, the clothing of a ninja should be garish and bright to draw attention. And to make sure everybody knows who's the ninja in the room, it helps to have the word "Ninja" emblazoned on your headband. The modern ninja wants to be noticed. It must be true because that's what we see here in this movie poster for Ninja Commandments.

Drunks
Think of people you'd most likely see hanging out every night in a tavern in the late '60s. Not a bar, not a night club, but a honest to goodness tavern. The regulars, who probably don't drive and that's a good thing. They might be married or were at one time. If they still are, they won't be hanging out with their husband or wife because they drink to forget about them. Got them pictured in your head? Five bucks says they look a lot like this. Click on the fullsize image to proceed through the slideshow, and make sure you stick around for the last one, who looks like he could be Ed Asner's dad and needs some absorbent protection.

EQ Woes
The last few gigs where we've used our own sound equipment, we've had more feedback problems in the front monitors than we used to have in the past. I was blaming it on the new monitors John got, some QSC K10s, which have 500W for the woofer and 500W for the tweeter, which kinda seems like overkill for the tweeter. We've turned to mechanical equalization on Emily's monitor the past couple gigs; tape a towel over the tweeter. Instant squeal–b–gone!
Turns out that our new board is the problem. Allen & Heath decided that for this line of boards, they'd put the aux sends after the EQ, meaning that when the engineer adjusts the EQ so it sounds right in the mains, it also changes the way it sounds in the monitors. More times than not, high end is added to vocals to crisp them up, and high end in vocal monitors is a giant no–no, because it just goes right back into the mic.
The other A&H models (like the one we had before) use the correct design, which feeds the un–EQd signal to the auxes, and even include internal jumpers that one can switch if they're not using the auxes for monitors and really do want an EQd signal sent to them. But the Zed line does not have jumpers. Arg. Their stuff is so genius and well built that I can't understand why they made such a bonehead decision about this.
Short of trading in this barely used board for something that has the exact same features and channels for one that wires the auxes the right way, we need to get EQs for the monitors. So we'll need 4 of them. Amazingly, Alesis makes this really cool 1–rack space 8–channel 30–band digital EQ. It has 100 presets, so we could even have custom setups with minor tweaks for every bar. And everybody can have their own monitor sound the way they want. Woohoo!

It seems comic book collectors are huge geeks with nothing else to do but sit around and scan boxes and boxes of comic books all day. And that's great! Wanna read a Perry Mason comic book? How about one from The Munsters? Or four Mr. Ed comic books? Even comic book for The Courtship of Eddie's Father. Yeah, I didn't know any of those had their own comics. There's all sorts of cool stuff there. Maybe read an old Bananas magazine. Better yet, the entire Abbott & Costello Go to Mars movie.
Really, take a month off and start downloading. He makes lots of stuff available almost every day.

I'm guessing they got this girl from the shipping department in Plymouth or something like that. (Yeah, it's a MN company.) Or maybe she showed up right after school and was pretty tired from P.E. (the goofballs in Minnesota call it "phy ed" instead of "phys ed", pronounced "fie" like "pie").
Hammerax
Hammerax is a newish company (as far as cymbal companies go) that makes some amazingly cool looking and totally unique sounding cymbals and gong type thingies. They have a bunch of videos posted to their blog and main site. You can even mouse–over most of the images on their main page for a sample.

The Blue Amp Lives!
Looky what I brought back from Keota. It still works! I'd forgotten it was an Epiphone. I just knew it was blue. Dad had the speaker detached from the amp and had a long speaker wire soldered to the speaker that ran over to where a small TV used to be. The larger speaker helped them hear the TV when they were on the treadmill. Plugged the Strat in, turned it on, and slowly touched knobs and strings to make sure there wasn't some short or something (it has no ground). Gently turned it up after it warmed up and was greeted with some nice distortion when it got to full blast. I shot a short video so you can hear what it sounds like. YouTube is currently doing something with it; it's not there yet. I'll add the video here when it finally gets there.
I also got Bob's old Marantz 1060 integrated amp, which is newer than the Epi by just a few years. I played his 2 Rush albums (Fly by Night and All the World's a Stage) countless times through that stereo. It too still works, although the power switch doesn't stay depressed when I turn it on. Feels like there could be some gummy lubricants in there. I found a place online that rebuilds vintage stereo equipment and asked him about it. I have it down in the shop hooked up to a CD player and my old MCS bookshelf speakers. I tried 3 tape decks before the CD player. None of them managed to play a tape. Probably more gummy lube and/or dried out rubber belts.

Leave It On! Leave It On!
This is pretty NSFW. It's also the most pathetic amateur stripper you'll ever see. Perhaps some music would help keep the gyrating motions, well, gyrating. She's also about 3 months past touching up her bleached outgrowth. I wonder what that was she found on her face. A zit? Some food? Prepare to get totally turned off by the face she makes as she starts to tend to her nipples right before the video thankfully ends. Also good news; there is no part 2. Oh yeah, is that a rooster outdoors?

Besides, Linda was chunky. But what I really wanna see is more pictures of that Hurst golf cart they're driving in the one photo!

Retrofucked
OK, now I'm getting angry. I asked Roxio about who my 6.x backup of my G5 is now complaining about a login/name problem when it never did that before I upgraded 8.1 to 8.2. I also complained about their wake-on-lan not working on that computer and asked when it will be fixed. I also complained that they have not put back into 8.x anything similar to the old Retrospect Event Handler and asked when that would happen. Here's what I got back. Copy & pasted canned responses.
Retrospect 8.2 requires the client to have a login username/password. You will need to update the client on the system. Mac OS X Clients require the following:I especially like that last line, the one that comes after a bunch of product specs and feature descriptions, not after, say, some fixes I could try.
PowerPC G3, G4, or G5, or any Intel processor
Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server 10.3.9, 10.4.11, or 10.5.5 or later
RAM that meets Apple's guidelines for each OS
Note: Backing up Mac OS X Server clients requires Retrospect Multi Server or Retrospect Single Server with available Server Client Licenses.
Retrospect offers the Wake-on-LAN support for client computers.This gives Retrospect the ability to wake Mac OS X clients from sleep immediately prior to a Proactive backup, resulting in improved energy efficiency and reducing costs.
This should correct the problem.

RetNOrespect
So it seems that installing the 8.2 updates fucked up my 6.1.126 somehow. It can no longer connect to my G5 to back it up. I'm still using 6 for that because I need the Retrospect Event Handler to wake it up and put it to sleep. Otherwise it's a power hog that just heats up the room. 8 doesn't offer such a nice AppleScript thingy as that, and 8's built–in Wake–on–LAN feature doesn't work on the G5. They picked a non–standard wake–on–lan implementation?
But hey, at least they fixed the label recognition thing so it will once again ignore anything with the Grey label. It was including lots and lots of humongous stuff that didn't need to be backed up because the earlier versions didn't work with labels correctly. Looks like they fixed that in 8.1.x, but I didn't notice until now. However, they still put folders into the backup that should be filtered out, but not their contents. They say that's the correct behavior. I can live with that, even though it doesn't sound correct to me. Why recreate the folder structure of folders that will be empty and the user didn't want backed up in the first place?

The Many Loves of Retrospect
Seems nobody wants to remain the owner of Retrospect for very long. It changed from Dantz to EMC a year or two ago I think, and now suddenly I get a release announcement from Roxio. At least Roxio has a well–loved product that should give some clout to Retrospect. And they still make you do all the legwork in figuring out how to download and update the clients and server, even though the app itself can download and install its own update. They give you a little dialog box that says to update the client and server, and there's an Update button, which you think will update them for you. Nope. It takes you to a web site and you have to figure out that you need to download the one named Retrospect 8.2.0 (399) Installer, even though that will re–download the app that you just got done updating. But it also contains the server and client. Why entire fucking thing isn't automated, I can't figure out. Dumbasses.

Tunnel Construction
For some reason, I don't imagine the people of 1910 being smart enough to come up with something like this method of prefabricating tunnel sections and sinking them into the river. For 1910 I think of castor oil and horses pooping in the streets and people bathing once a month, not engineers who can dream up this technique.

Grand Funk Railroad
I read a great article about GFR in an Uncut magazine that Kim's brother left for us to read. I didn't know that their big break was agreeing to open the Atlanta Pop Festival on July 4th, 1969 by playing for free. They were such a hit that the organizers asked them to stick around and play the next 2 nights higher up the bill, but still for free. They also crashed on their way to Atlanta and were soldering up their amps before going on. Their Shea Stadium gig in 1971 sold out 14 times faster than The Beatles did in '65. Their agent Terry Knight—a typical scheming shyster—did a lot for them, but also screwed them to the tune of taking 16% while the band had to split 6%. But they went on to record the biggest selling albums, with Todd Rundgren at the controls, and even had Zappa producing their last album. They sure are fun to watch live.

I'm still amazed that somebody at this company or their ad agency came up with the idea and everybody else agreed. How does that even come up? "OK, we have our entire product line here in this beautiful outdoor setting; a gi in every color, protective gear, punching bags, T–shirts. Great! Now, honey, why don't you take your shirt off. Ted, prop up the nunchucks down there beside the belts. Perfect!"

Maverick
I love this Maverick GT or Grabber or whatever the model is, from an episode of Starsky & Hutch. I used to pass one every morning in Hopkins. This might be the same one I saw in an episode of S.W.A.T., because they weren't that common. But I just noticed something weird about it. Look at how far out that front bumper is. Maybe it's a stunt car with an extra springy bumper so they can bang into shit without crumpling the body and stuff?

Here it is in S.W.A.T. with the same deep bumper.

Light Work
The florescent light over the mirror in the master bath died a few days ago. Sure makes it hard to shave and stuff. We got a new one yesterday (oh weird - just as I typed that word, the song Yesterday started in iTunes) and started swapping them today. Whoever put up the old one is a lazy jerk–faced douche nozzle. You know how there's usually an adapter plate bolted onto the in–wall box? And then there fixture is bolted to that plate? Well, this genius slid a bolt through from the backside of the plate and fixture, threaded a nut down over it to hold everything tight, and then—because the bolt was way too long—bent the bolt down so it wouldn't intrude into the fixture guts. It snapped off when I bent it back, and of course turning the nut only turned the bolt along with it. Luckily I was able to bent the fixture back and remove the adapter plate from the box. God I hate lousy contractors.

Freaky Pumpkin
No need to cut out a face when you can mold it into a face while it grows! It's equal parts neato and creepy.

Beer Me or Die
It's hard to believe that this burden on society would get arrested for fighting her boyfriend because he opened the last can of Natural Light. She looks so sweet and fiscally productive.

Nice Jugs
I always thought Mort Walker drew great looking cartoon women in Beetle Bailey. It's cuz he had a dirty mind, as seen in these rare sketches that never made it into the morning paper.

It's Crap in Any Language
What's worse than lame American pop dance bullshit music? Lame Indian (dots, not feathers) pop dance bullshit music! You might wanna mute it, because the vocals will hurt your brain. But the English "translation" is at least kinda funny.

iTunes 9.2
iTunes 9.2 broke the multi–item Get Info window when you add multiple artwork items. It only adds the last image. So if yo want multiple images in multiple items (like the front and back covers from a vinyl rip), you have to first add the back cover in the multi–item Get Info window, and then add the front cover to each track one at a fucking time. This pisses me off. They say the change was intentional. Why they broke something that worked correctly is beyond me. If you have access to the Apple bug db, please report this for me so they fix this goddamn bug. You can even use the Provide iTunes Feedback menu item in the iTunes menu.
Those Chooky Christians
I know big hairdos were the thing in the '60s, but these religious singing groups seemed to take it to the extreme. The Joyful Sounds liked it piled high, while The Faith Tones (no relation to The Dial Tones) went for more of a space helmet look. These 2 chicks knew the lord didn't want them wasting so much time on their hair, so went with snazzy hats instead.
Religion also begat some unfortunate phrases. Poor little guy. Looks like Neil Peart's gonna get lucky in the life boat. Which one is coming, the guy behind the bass player?
Some albums just make you wonder why it never got to be a hit. The same goes for the great name this guy has.
And yeah, some are self explanatory.
I love that site.

The Imposters
I thought these were cool, although they look a bit boring to play with now. Never had one, but I love the way they look when they're in the drag form, especially the Gremlin.

Lamar
This poor dweeb never stood a chance. Those enormous lips, nerdy glasses in Erkle position, and the deer–in–headlights stare all add up to… well, I don't know what. But sometimes it really is OK to just laugh at people.
Justice
Too bad America isn't more like China in just this one way. A guy on a motorcycle snatches a woman's purse and is then tracked down and beaten by everyone in the neighborhood. It looks like there were 2 guys in on it, because as they're beating on the guy who was on the motorcycle, another guy gets on it and tries to ride off, only to be attacked and brought down by the good citizens.

Finish Him!
Here's a freak who played a little too much Mortal Kombat. He claims he drank some tea with 'shrooms in it and thought his martial arts training partner was possessed, so he ripped out his heart and other parts. And he was naked. You can tell from his haircut that he's a bright, upstanding member of society. And his name's Jarrod.

The Balok Puppet Head
I love the shot of this fake alien that's in the closing credits of the original Star Trek series. His wide–open eyes and droopy mouth give him a really freaky look. And here are some shots of the puppet head in its current still–fairly–good condition.

Free Rasputin Beard
Maybe if theaters gave out cool stuff like free Rasputin beards to disguise yourself from the forces of evil, more people would go to the movies.

Gross
Why does Tila Tequila exist? Does she serve any purpose to mankind? Is she actually a real human woman? I really doubt it. I think her only talent is making money by looking and acting like nothing I'd ever want to hump. I've got nothing aginst breast enhancement, but I do believe the purpose of them is to make a woman look more appealing, more delicious, yet still womanly and natural. That's where most of these current no–talent whores go wrong. It's great to show them off, but they might wanna pick their clothing with more care and not blatantly show their breast surgery scars to everyone, and get more believable, pleasant looking enhancements in the first place instead of these monstrosities shaped like lumpy beach balls that they all get. Here's a pretty much NSFW example (click again to enlarge if you have a barf bag nearby) of this plastic slut showing the world her Frankensteinian features. Cripes, even her head looks fake and gross.
Geek Shirts
This ad in an old Popular Computing has some really neat shirts. No, "neat" isn't the word I'm looking for. Perhaps "lame"? All I know is I want the "bilingual" one. And hahahahaha, they call it "softwear". Get it? It's a nerdy pun! Oh, those are the best!

Country Roads
For those not on goddamned Facebook, here's a tune from last week's gig. Be sure to switch to 480p or 720p if your connection can handle it. Not sure what happened with Andy there in the intro. But I do know what happened to my voice; it sucks!

Ronnie Reagan Speaks
Here's a record put out in 1961 of Ronald Reagan talking about the evils of socialized medicine. I guess Osambala never caught this one on his favorite hangout's juke box. I kinda like the very last statement Ronnie makes right at the end.

Al & Ed Were Kids Once Too
I found this photo on a blog entry about Van Halen getting back together a few years ago. Sure looks like Alex and Eddie to me. Alex is already chewing on stuff and Ed appears to be taking the drum apart to customize it into a Frankendrum.
Hogan's Heros Comic Books
Far out! Download 'em here! Looks like they have 6 of them. Dunno how many there were in all—9 at least.

Hand Painted Signs
I didn't think anybody still painted billboards by hand. This is cool. Stick around for some time lapse during the end credits.

Raceless Kidnapper
A 14–year old newspaper girl was kidnapped this morning in a small Minnesota town. This guy should be easy to spot. He's over 6' tall, 235 lbs, and has no race. Yes, his skin must be totally devoid of color. He'll stick out like a sore thumb. Or, since his skin is the absence of all color, he'll be like the Predator with his cloaking device enabled, so he'll be nearly impossible to see.
The fucking lame, pussy news media these days rarely say anything about skin color, race, or religion when describing bad people we should be on the lookout for. That would be profiling, and that would make them bad, insensitive people. Grow a pair, ya cheese–brained morons.
