Giddyup

My wife woke me up this morning to make sure I could get into town in time to hobble my way to a big scale to pick up a new microwave oven that we need (our old one went kaput a couple of weeks ago). When she couldn’t get me to wake right up right then, she asked if I had taken another pain pill, and I said something to the effect of “Good Lord, no, woman. I’m still having trouble getting out from under the first one!”

Then I saw the spam subject header “posthumous pony” and instantly wrote the first verse of a country & western song in my head. If the following does not convince you that I’m not still ‘under the influence,’ nothing will.

I’m gonna be your posthumous pony
I’m gonna be your undead steed
When you go ridin’ with yer three brotherrrrs
I’m the only zombie horse you’ll need.

See if you can guess who the riders (the aforementioned brotherrrrs) are (not sure how else I’m supposed to phonetically imply a C&W drawl, sorry). Go on, guess.

And people put this kind of stuff into their bloodstreams on purpose? For fun? Drugs are bad, mmmmmmkay? I think I’m going to settle for soaking my feet and sitting still, because I’m sure as hell not taking any more of those pain pills if I can help it.… Read more

Pictures of a weekend

Not much to say here; just some pictures from my weekend:

Olivia snoozin'
Olivia’s entry in the Cutest Kitten In The House contest. She really cranked up the cute after seeing little grey girl’s pictures.

Fellowhip of the Ring
A mass-mailing from a local church. Holy proofreading, Batman!

Help waned at our fellowhip!
Presumably whoever put that together answered this call for help.

A nice new pile o' games
My latest influx of new (but old) games from a trade with scooterb23 of the DP forums, along with other trades and goodies I’ve picked up this year (Supercharger and Stella Gets A New Brain, among numerous other items, not shown here). Early this year, before we knew we were expecting, my wife made a comment about how much I spend on my old video game collection. I think so far this year, I’m up to about the $20 mark, most of that spent in shipping stuff out for my end of the trade. 😆… Read more

Foghat’s revenge

Dammit, dammit, dammit.

It’s three in the morning. I just read an old post of Sothy’s on the Digital Press forums.

And I cannot, for the love of all things holy (and a few things that aren’t), get “SLOW RIDE! TAKE IT EEEEEASY!” out of my head now.

I mean…this is how wars start. A small number of very select, obscure, Foghat-oriented wars, that is.

I’m ready for the itching to stop, by the way.… Read more

The true story of the Doctor and the Master

And I tell you, this is as official and canon as you can get. It comes from the novelization of final story from the original series of Doctor Who, Survival, both scripts and novelization by Rona Munro. And I quote:

The Master's balls 😯

Man, I’d be out to steal every remaining regeneration the Doctor has too. What an indignity!… Read more

Job Blog Blob Jog

I didn’t even realize until yesterday that Robert Parson, sometimes contributor to theLogBook.com, not only has a blog of his own, but it’s a Blog On A Mission. He’s looking for a good, decent, high-paying job. And it doesn’t really matter if he’s actually got anything approaching credible qualifications for it on paper or not – he’s applying anyway, and with all sincerity. There are only a few entries so far, but I’ve found them all very amusing so far. If you’ve ever wondered if that piece of paper will really get you in the door, regardless of whether it’s in any way connected to the job you’re applied for, this is a truly interesting exercise.

Opening the pod bay doors…OF LOVE.

HAL 9000Another silent movie concoction for you (because what it’s spoofing is also silent), it’s time for a True ad spoof that’s maybe, just maybe, a little more universal than Burchuss. 😆 (I’d say Burchuss is something only my friends get, but I’d put good money on the table and bet that at least a third of my friends are like “What? Little orange stuffed animal from space? What!?“) With that in mind, here’s a new one shot late Sunday night at my own desk in near-total darkness. Hey, admit it, if you owned a HAL 9000 prop, you’d do this too. Click here to see.

Couple of shout-outs: thanks to the folks behind the alarmingly accurate 2001 screen saver (free download from The Hal Project) and the simply astounding Celestia (free download here), which are what you see on the screens, giving the whole thing as much 2001 authenticity as I can muster on zero budget at 11:30pm on a Sunday night. If anyone’s really interested, I can do a little piece later on just how crappily I threw the whole thing together. 😛

Enjoy!… Read more
