Let The Funk Flow

I usually laugh heartily when I see someone forget the words to a song, or slip and fall on the ice with thousands of people watching... but when all of those things happen at the same time...
I also found an interesting extension for firefox, its the "Abe Vigoda Status" plug-in. Its useful if, from time to time, you need to know if Abe Vigoda is alive or dead. Today: Alive. For the record, I'm pretty sure Abe could both sing the national anthem with all the words intact, and stand on ice at the same time. He was in The Godfather for Chrissakes.
Who knew there was a Negro Space Program. It was a concerted effort by the government and the press in the 50s and 60s to keep the blackstronauts down. Now in the 21st century, its our duty as a civilized society to pay homage to these brave souls. All I can say is, its a good thing Buzz Aldrin could pass off as black! Do your part, watch the documentary.


Q1: Do you like your office space? Why or why not? I like the movie Office Space. I don't really have a cube or a desk or anything. I find a computer and work my magic from there.
Q3: Joseph Ratzinger, now known as Pope Benedict XVI, is being characterized by some as a hero to the conservative wing of the Catholic Church, and by others as something of a Darth Vader figure to liberal Catholics. Despite your religious affiliation, how do you feel about Ratzinger's selection as Pope? See my previous rant. I'm sure the guy's done some good work, I just don't agree with his ultra-conservative views. But if he's really Darth Vader, I may change my views. :)
Q4: A privately supported, not-for-profit membership organization, National Public Radio (NPR) serves more than 750 independently operated, noncommercial public radio stations, each of which serves local listeners with a distinctive combination of national and local programming. Do you listen to NPR? If you do listen to NPR, have you ever made a donation to support its efforts? If you do listen but have never made a donation, do you think you ever will? Why or why not? I'm knee-deep in news all day, I sure as hell ain't gonna listen to that boring, monotone crap. The real news is boring enough. As for a donation, why the fuck would I pay for it? Its like the PBS pledge drive. Why would I help support TV that sucks? If they want some donations, put on some good stuff. Can't they play "Sopranos" reruns, or at least "Mama's Family" reruns? Their reality show 'Colonial House' shows people bathing naked in a lake, but do they show anything good? Hell no. Show a little T&A, then maybe they'd get some donations. It takes one show to launch a network. South Park launched Comedy Central, Queer Eye launched Bravo, The Valerie Bertinelli/Meredith Baxter Birney "Cancer-stricken abducted-kids-by-an-ex with an eating-disorder divorcee, but I have a plucky spirit and I'm fighting back" movie launched Lifetime. Show some shit people wanna watch, and give them more than a tote bag when they do.
Every while in a once, I run across a story that just makes me laugh out loud. This broad from American Pie & The Slums of Beverly Hills, Natasha Lyonne, flipped out and told her neighbors "I'm going to sexually molest your dog." And you thought pie-fucking was bad. This woman's been in a ton of those teen flicks, then she went nuts. I think its funny to see the mighty fall. Not that she was so "mighty," but she's been in more hit movies than me. Rule of thumb, if you're even halfway famous, know that every time you shit, some douchebag's gonna comment on it. That would be me. Apparently the crazy dog-fucker is still on the loose, so lock up your puppies.

In other news, they elected a Nazi Youth Pope. He worked for the Nazi's Airborne Panzers, and guarded a BMW plant staffed with Jews from the Dachau Concentration Camp. Nice. The guy looks like Hannibal Lecter. I hate to put a negative spin on a guy whose a holy man, but this is 2005, and I'm a cynical prick. It was politics that got this guy elected. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was known as "God's Rottweiler" and "The Enforcer." He was the guy who told the "liberal" John Paul II to be more conservative. Expect new tirades against Gays, Stem Cell Research, Women Priests, Abortion and Birth Control. From The Guardian:As head of the powerful Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Ratzinger disciplined dissidents, backed John Paul in resisting reforms sought by liberals and urged caution in pursuing relations with other Christian denominations.Do you know what the "Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith" was formerly called? THE INQUISITION. We're all inclusive" says the Catholic Church, now do what we say, not what we do. I am amazed at the Hypocrisy.

Meet the USB fondue pot. The ultimate in geek cuisine. Use your computer to make a tasty treat... and its good to have your co-workers gather around your cubicle to dip strawberries in chocolate, or some french bread and cheese. If you'd like to send me one, here's the info. :) I'll invite you over for fondue and internet pron.
Q1: Are you concerned about identity theft? If so, what do you do today to protect yourself that you didn't do just a few years ago? I only buy stuff from web sites that I know are legit. Amazon, etc. And I always use paypal when I buy shit from eBay. However, with credit cards these days, you're really only responsible for $50. So there are always backups, and if a site really wants your business they'll make sure its secure. I think its more risky to give your credit card to the sleazy waiter at Chili's when you pay for dinner. Who knows what that flair-wearing fag is doing with your card when he walks off? He could be copying down all your numbers.

Sin City is one badass movie. A total guy flick. It has the holy trinity of guy movies: boobs, violence and car chases. Its based on the graphic novels of Frank Miller. It looks like you're reading a comic book on the movie screen. Even the writing is lifted straight from its graphic novel origins. Its black and white, but in every shot there's one thing thats colorized, and it really jumps out of the screen at you. A number of times throughout the movie I found myself loudly saying, "Whoa!" Then I notice the rest of the audience was doing the same thing. The actors were OK. Bruce Willis played the same cop with a chip on his shoulder he plays in every movie. Mickey Roarke is good as Marv, although you can barely see him under tons of make up. And of course there are hot chicks in every scene. Rosario Dawson turns in her best performance since 'Josie and the Pussycats.' :) Our darling little Rory from Gilmore Girls takes a turn for the worst and becomes a hooker. What would Lorelai say? And then there's Jessica Alba, the hottest female on the planet. She's scary hot as she tries to seduce Bruce Willis' octogenarian character. I'm sensing oscar buzz for our Dark Angel.
The audience was filled with comic book dorks who were high-fiving each other during the movie. I found that rather umm retarded. I was waiting for the comic book guy from the Simpsons to stand up and say, "Worst gratuitous tit shot EVER!"
Q2: Across the United States, policy makers are debating whether to grant driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, while in some states, legislators are taking up bills that would require voters to show photo identification before casting ballots. Do you think illegal immigrants should be allowed to receive a driver's license? What about presenting a photo ID when casting a ballot... are you in favor of this idea? Regarding Illegal Immigrants getting drivers licenses: No, because by giving them licenses, you're basically saying its OK to break the law. There are so many people who risk their lives and work their ASS off to get here legally, that legitimizing illegal immigrants is a slap in their face. What part of 'Illegal' don't they understand? The supporters will say, "Oh, this will teach them to drive correctly." Bullshit. If an illegal immigrant doesn't drive well before they get a little card, do you really think they're going to drive well after they get it?
Q3: What kind of impact has Pope John Paul II's death had on you since he passed away last Saturday? What kind of an impact did the Pope have on you while he was alive? Last Saturday, I was saddened to hear of his death, but he was old and in pain, so I was relieved that he was out of misery. Even though I'm a Catholic, I do realize that the Pope was just a man. Granted, he's done so much for mankind. His work for other people is incomparable. I don't think he's a saint or any greater than the rest of us. He had his fault, and as such a smart man, he knew this. Just read his will, he asked for forgiveness for his shortcomings. So I'm sure there's a nice place for him in Heaven. 
Funny that this question came up. I recently saw "Movin' Out," which is a musical set to Billy's music. Now I love Billy Joel's music, I have since I was a kid. So you can imagine my excitement when I hear the musical was coming to town. Well this was a load of horse shit. Picture this: a bad Billy Joel tribute act playing the hits at the top of the stage, and about 20 dancers doing something between ballet and a seizure. These horrible dancers could've been dancing to anything. It just so happens that their costumes corresponded to the stories in his song. No type of acting or anything. The musical was choreographed by Twyla Tharpe, who is supposed to be the best choreographer since Jesus, but I didn't see the attraction. This pablum actually won a Tony. I may not know broadway, but I know horse shit. I guess thats why people like me don't go to the theatre. If I ever see The Piano Man, I'm gonna demand my $58 back.
