Shouting Grounds

Well it seems like the brass have decided to retire the old (?) bird and move on to more invisible death-bringers. It aircraft will now be resigned to telling all the other, younger planes to stay off its lawn and fade into a medicated stupor until finally passing on from broken hip complications and malnutrition.

It seems amazing to me that this thing’s first flight was when I was one year old. You have to wonder what other crazy shit is flying around that we don’t know about.

Huffington Post Article

After a prostitution ring is busted, current Governor of New York, Elliot Spitzer resigns apologizes, having linked himself to the ring via cellphone records, and perhaps via his prick. This fucking cockhole is giving Democrats a bad name, but at least these are adult females with business heads on their shoulders.

Remember that last bit when all the fat-pubs are shitting all holy hell about this over the next several years. I can hear it now. Bellowing morality while striking everyone with their bible-balls. Nice job, Elliot. You fucked up.

I guess this is what happens when you get your dick caught in the cookie jar….or something like that.

I don’t know about you guys but this New York Times story has me concerned. It seems like depending on the concentration of drug use in a particular area you could be exposed to more of a particular pharmaceutical. For instance they said the the concentration of caffeine was higher in suburban areas. They really need to start doing long-term testing on this kind of exposure. For what the story tells about the amount of steroid cocktails that get passed through cattle you wonder what that does to the surrounding communities.

More goodness from the man behind the baby cakes video Socrates posted moons ago…priceless

You know, I have no idea where my brother finds this stuff, but check out this funny (and shitty at the same time) internet cartoon.  He sent this to me ages ago, but I never watched it until today.  Pretty funny, but note the couple of frames at the very end.  Socrates Points fans rejoice!

I thought everyone would enjoy my favorite scene from generations, encapsulated into a nice, infinite loop.

Cheers.

 Apple has announced today that not only will 3rd party applications become available as soon as June of this year, but they are working on an enterprise boost for their lovable/loath-able handset.Apparently, Apple has licensed ActiveSync from Microsoft and plans to bring the Push, finally, and for some reason EA felt it necessary to demo Spore on an iPhone…You heard me right.  Why the fuck?  I have no idea, but what I’m holding onto is the hope that a native multi-IM chat app will soon become available.  Now for the rub.  It might be a tactic by Apple to weed out potential ruffians but they have stated that any developer that commercially releases iPhone/touch native applications will not only have to pay $100 US for submission of their creations to Apple so the software can be wirelessly purchased and installed via the device, but will also need to relinquish 30% of their profits from the sale of such software to Apple. Obviously, I’m not a developer (and not much of a writer) but it seems a bit unfair to ask this of entrepreneurial iPhone/touch developers.  I suppose this is to subsidize the process of creating the SDK, but jesus.  Well, here’s to June! 

It’s been a while, but we are back in the saddle with an enhanced podcast of our musings.  We focused mostly on the news of the day, but we’ll be back with ‘Detailed Files’ on the latest (or at least the most note-worthy) films.  Sorry for the quick and dirty nature of some of the audio (epsically the “intro” and “outtro”) but since Leopard came out I’ve had to cut a few corners, and I’d rather get an episode out than be crippled by resources.  Some topics covered in this episode:  Britney Spears’ sister, Jamie, is Preggers.  MySpace sucks asshole.  Putin named Time’s Person of the Year.  Check it out. More episodes on the way.

Thank God the Sharper Image has filed Chapter 11 on that ass.  The world now has less over-priced garbage to purchase for bosses, desks, and offices.  Who the fuck liked the Sharper Image anyway?  Sharper Image cut their own fat hog in the ass.  Fuck you, Sharper Image!

“…The Sharper Image announced late last month that it was suspending the acceptance of gift cards, at least temporarily. It urged shoppers to check the company Web site later this month for an update. That is typical of businesses that reorganize under Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which treats gift cards as a loan to the company, not as cash…”

Good riddance!  Seriously, the Sharper Image has always pissed me off to a degree that cannot be measured.  To put it in perspective, my opinion on Illinois jobs ranks right up there with the Sharper Image.
