have you ever seen a dog walk on two legs? i really didn’t think it was possible. i still think my eyes are deceiving me. watch this and decide. real or not real, i don’t care. it’s freaky and that’s all you really need. freak.

speaking of freak… we have a new book out called dungeons & dragons for dummies. celebrate, ye fellow rpg-ers! people are finally taking notice. we don’t need our boots of escaping any more. so go forth, and be happy while you check out thy most excellent flowchart on page 2.

yes, but it’s not a question of letting. technology allows it to be done, not the rockstar. most rockstars probably don’t even know how to “rip” a cd. i would be happy if someone was interested enough to “steal” my music. this is a hypothetical question, right?

in the “ask and ye shall receive” category, we have an amusing story about mr. william corgan. despite all his rage he is still just a rat in a cage.

when you tell the world that you’re going to resurrect their favorite band, how do you expect them to act at your solo concerts? first and foremost, concertgoers are generally dipshits. they like to throw stuff, make loud drunken comments, and request songs that they should know would never get played.

what is really funny about this is that billy has always had to deal with this crap. “play rhinocerous!” or “landslide!! play landslide!!!!!” this shouldn’t be something new.

the moral of this story: don’t feed the sheep rumors about your former (better) band getting back together, before you embark on a crappy solo tour.

as alanis would say: isn’t it ironic? don’t you think? a little too ironic. and, yeah, i really do think.

directv sues o.j. for $25k. what is wrong with you, man? everyone knows you’re supposed to steal canadian satellite feeds because they steal our feeds. it makes it alright. (fatman logic)

i’ve got the new matthew good song on repeat. i suggest you listen to it. rock music is at it’s best when matthew good is behind the wheel.

i recently downloaded the acid burn theme for firefox. it’s funny, because i was looking at all the themes and thinking to myself about how all of them were really gay. not a single one was worth downloading. then acid burn jumped out and slapped me in the face. i was hooked.

you will notice in the picture to the right, that i have the wizz rss reader extension open on the left side of the browser. i’m giving it a shot. i can put all the blogs i read into it, and then i can check if something has been updated or not. it seems to work pretty well.

also, i’m giving the gmail notifier extension a shot. i never liked the gmail notifier program that you install on your desktop. this is different. it just installs into firefox and then sits at in the bottom status bar, displaying when you have new mail. so far, i like it.

this is post number 420 and it has been brought to you in part by the attention deficit disorder association. actually, they don’t endorse this blog in any way, shape, or form. i thought it would be funny, but now i’m afraid i might get a call from their legal department, which would be cool because i would like to talk to a hyperactive lawyer. i think that could be fun.

now, maybe i’m just crazy, but wouldn’t 26th anniversary edition mean a buttload of special features? i’m thinking commentaries or deleted scenes. the new jerk dvd just came out and it’s slightly disappointing. like the time you went out for tee-ball wearing tube socks and came back wearing a sailor’s cap. that was severely disappointing.

as seen in the adjacent picture, there are only 4 bonus features on this jerk dvd. while they are alright, i wanted more. i don’t think that’s too much to ask. i guess the joke’s on me. 26th anniversary edition doesn’t mean jack squat.

at least it is in widescreen and has 5.1 audio, though. those are important things that were always missing from the other dvd. and it was only $11.99 at costco, so i can’t complain. i just have a feeling that i’m going to be buying the 27th anniversary edition next year. it will have 5 bonus features.

with dvd, the studios can release whatever they want, whenever they want. and i can sell it on half.com, baby.

i enjoy t3: rise of the machines. it’s really surprising how good it is considering what it had to follow. t2 was a hard act. i should know. i’ve seen it 2.4 million times. i used to have all of the dialog memorized. it was probably the movie i watched most in my early to mid teens. also known as “the wonder years.”

t3 has it’s problems. mainly being a little too tongue-in-cheek. c’mon guys, the future is not something to joke about. like, when arnie pulls out the elton john glasses and puts them on, or the whole “talk to the hand” bit. james cameron would have left that shit on the cutting room floor. what about the female terminator being called “the terminatrix”? it would be fine if that was just the implied name, but when john connor says it, it sounds like i’m watching a kinky robot porno.

and let’s not forget how powerful ms. terminatrix is, compared to mr. beefstick. at one point, arnie tells john connor, “I’m an obsolete design.” yeah, i tend to believe him. i don’t, however, believe that these future machines would go from the arnie model to the robert patrick model to the kristanna loken model. it doesn’t seem like the natural progression.

as a follow-up to the t3, i decided to watch the first terminator. pure classic. i love how fake arnie looks. he’s so young that his skin looks like rubber. and then they use a rubber stand-in for the part where he cuts out his eye and he looks even more fake. the faker the better, because 1984 is a year that is exempt from special fx scrutiny. in fact, the entire 80s decade is a time period we approach with much forgiveness. we didn’t know any better. mullets, the color pink, george michael, miami vice, swatch watches, boy george, la gear, spandex, parachute pants, leg-warmers, and pet rocks. these things all seemed like good ideas at the time. and nobody can ever say that that generation is not well defined.

back to the movie… did you know that o.j. simpson was considered for the roll of the 1984 terminator? that would have been a much different movie. imagine if everyone was killed by knife instead of guns. would sarah connor have been played by nicole brown simpson? kyle reese could have been played by ron goldman. you know, the more i think about it, the more similarities there are. but then terminator 2 would have been called “t2: ito day” and we can’t have that, now can we? actually, “judgment day” would have worked also. see? it’s like parallel city up in here.
