I just found something awesome: Mitt Romney's "Top 10 Reasons for Dropping out of the Race." Let's just be clear, the dude's an asshole, but at least he's a funny asshole. The list is as follows:

10. There weren’t as many Osmonds as I thought.
9. I got tired of corkscrew landings under sniper fire.
8. As a lifelong hunter, I didn’t want to miss the start of the varmint season.
7. There wasn’t room for two Christian leaders.
6. I was upset that no one had bothered to search my passport files.
5. I needed an excuse to get fat, grow a beard and win the Nobel prize.
4. I took a bad fall at a campaign rally and broke my hair.
3. I wanted to finally take off that dark suit and tie, and kick back in a light-colored suit and tie.
2. Once my wife Ann realized I couldn’t win, my fundraising dried up.
1. There was a miscalculation in our theory: “As Utah goes, so goes the nation.”

It's Not a Compound



This is a remix (by Art of Bleeding) of an interview with some of the women at the recently scandalous polygamist compound. Terrifying. Check out the actual news footage here--creepy as all fuck.

Oh, Jesus Christ.


It's official...the world's gone to hell.

LSD + Hot Girl = ?!?!?!?!!



I took this video (and its title) from the Viking Youth Power Hour website

1:21 AM

I would just like everyone to know that "Roygbiv" by the Boards of Canada may be one of the most perfect songs in the history of anything. I've owned it for a day and a half, and its playcount is at 50+

Saw these two peacocks in a tiny garden behind a cathedral in NYC. It was a surprise, but shit, they're beautiful, eh?

This is the most confusing statue ever, but I'll try to explain it. Pictured is the archangel Michael, beheading Satan (you can see his head dangling from the crab claws. No, I don't know what the crab is doing.). He is also strangling a giraffe. Why? Fuck, I dunno.

Musical!

Holy shit, I just heard "Earth Intruders" off of Björk's last CD...brilliant song.
Also on my current playlist:

"Bludgeoned to Death" - Suicide Silence
"Kim's Watermelon Gun" - The Flaming Lips
"Station" - Meat Puppets
"Hey Joe" - Jimi Hendrix
"Alison" - Pixies
"Big in Japan" - Tom Waits
"I Don't Wanna Stop" - Ozzy Osbourne
"Shamemaker" - Ween
"Heroin" - Velvet Underground
"March of the Fire Ants" - Mastodon


I've been playing around with the idea of doing periodic album/movie/book reviews on the blog...possibly even for stuff that's been out a few years.
If you think this is a seriously horrible idea, leave a comment (and I'm not going to make some joke about "if you're there" or anything--there are around 400 of you.)

New York

s
I am presently sitting in New York (as opposed to Maine), the land of gargantuan American flags. Every third person is required to have a flag and firetruck, as illustrated in the accompanying photo.
I'm headed into the city for the day, probably tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to the NYC experience, which is a museum, Central Park, and a mugging.
On a similar note, does it seem that New York has some very strange vibes? I've been to a few major cities, San Fransisco, Chicago, and Boston among them, and New York has a very unique feel. It's less like one city, and more like hundreds of villages, brought together by their landmarks. You could buy a map of NYC, and it could basically be a map of Central Europe with "Broadway," "MET," and "Empire State Building" written in with a sharpie.
Sidenote! My birthday was a few days ago, please send money.

JPGMag



I recently created a JPGMag account, and I would greatly appreciate any voting on my photos (unless you think they suck, of course).
I would also love if I got some people to create accounts there, as it's a wonderful service.

Vinyl

Well, it's happened. The total turnaround that I suspected. I, emerging from the murky myth of efficiency and portability, am back to vinyl! Wooo! I'm (probably) buying the Numark PT01 Portable Turntable, and have a nice stereo on loan from my dad until I feel comfortable investing sme serious money into a stereo.

The only problem is, I love the iPod age. Does anyone know if it's legal to download a copy of a CD that you have legally purchased on vinyl (probably for more money, as well)?

Charlton Heston: XXX

A few days ago I was reading the local paper's tribute to Charlton Heston, now, well, dead. In this article was a complete filmography, and I was struck by how much many of the movies sounded like horrible (yet strangely sophisticated) pornos. Observe:

  • Peer Gynt - I know that's a name, but it sounds horribly dirty.
  • The Greatest Show on Earth - ...Probably involves a woman and lots of tequila
  • The President's Lady - This would fail miserably...does anyone actually want to watch Nipplegate?
  • The Naked Jungle - Like Apocalypto , but way, way better.
  • The Private War of Major Benson - A porno with a "plot" about Benson's struggle with liquor and homosexuality.
  • Three Violent People - Can you say "BDSM?"
  • The Buccaneer - This actually already exists.
  • The Wreck of the Mary Deare - another drama/porn, about a nymphomaniac who descends (ascends?) into a life of booze and hot sex.
  • The Pigeon that Took Rome - Let's just hope that 'Pigeon' is a euphemism.
  • 55 Days at Peking - "55 nights...55 women...ONE MAN!"
  • The Agony and the Ecstasy - Another BDSM masterpiece.
  • Think Twentieth - Think, "barely legal."
  • Rowan & Martin at the Movies - Two friends experiment at a showing of the (very long) film Brokeback Mountain.
  • Will Penny - The title leaves out his middle name, "dirty."
  • The Heart of Variety - Experimentation is in.
  • The Festival Game - You've heard of a may pole, right? Well...
  • Skyjacked - The first, uh, documentary on the mile-high club.
  • The Fun of Your Life - An upbeat, sunny movie about a picnic he'll never forget.
  • The Last Hard Men - Jesus. If I even have to make a joke here...
  • Gray Lady Down - Maybe a little something for the necrophiliacs in the audience.
  • The Mountain Men - Grizzled, muscular, sweaty men whom descend on a innocent Swedish village.
  • Mother Lode - Ooh...
  • Almost an Angel - This is for those pornos where the just find semi-attractive people on the street.
  • The Avenging Angel - The semi-attractive person fights back!
  • Ben Johnson: Third Cowboy on the Right - As if "Big Ben" didn't get him noticed.
  • Last Party 2000 - Y2K sex!!

How to "Remove" Blog Header

I just finished reading a crappy tech blog post explaining how to remove the blog header. Just so everyone knows, this is a horrible idea, a search engines rely heavily on the header to index the blog. Instead of removing the header, just go to 'Edit HTML,' (first save a copy of your template) and scroll down to where it says:

#header-wrapper h1 {

In this group of code there should be a line that affects font size. Just change that to 0.00. Easy.

I just found an awesome Craption on Cracked





"So how are we supposed to conjure Lucifer?"

"Easy, just align the diablo rings and say 'god' backwards three times."

12:34 PM

I just found this very interesting Google Maps hack that shows violence in Zimbabwe. Depressing, but kind of cool that this exists.
