So, speaking of god dammit all to hell, I've had Burning Crusade installed for about a week, but last night was the first time I'd entered Outland. Hey, I was having too much fun levelling my blood elf pallie and learning Jewelcrafting. But I'm low on gold, so last night I took the plunge on my 60 rogue.

Game crashed to desktop within ten seconds....

I'm a big fan of deadpan humor, partly because I don't like being given laugh cues and partly because the military mindset tends to engender an appreciation for it. I have found what may be the perfect comic for things I like to laugh at: Erfworld. I mean, the first image is of this fantasy world being constructed by mile-high Elvis impersonators. If you...

Someone cleverly replaced my lungs with an ocean of phlegm. The good kind, too, bright yellow--not that off-brand green shit. It's like Christmas all over again, except instead of presents, I drown in my own fluids!

Woo, my first testimonial. Thanks, Maddigan!

Pittsburgh's been having a really mild winter, 50-60 degrees most days. The apartment's heat, of course, comes on no matter what the temperature is, so I've actually had to turn on the air conditioner some days. The funny part? Before they turned the heat on, I was leaving my oven on 150 and propping the door open. My...

I got involved in a lengthy debate in the news threads, regarding experimentation being done on gay sheep that is intended to de-gayify them. I'm going to link the article, but let me ask a favor first: just read the first two paragraphs, for now. Later, you can read the rest, but for now, just read the first two.

The reason I ask this...

Very valid point, There is always something good to come out of this crazy shit. Did you ever read the article where a genetics company in Canada was attempting to splice a spider's silk sack genes into a goat's milk glands so they could produce tons of spider silk? The glands operate essentially the same, they'd strain the milk and remove the spider thread proteins from it. They were intending to use it to make spider-silk body armor... which is better than Kevlar. But everyone is up in arms about that one too.

On another note, I saw your "Nukular" slam in the Pat Robertson thread. As loathe as I am to admit it, because it sounds a bit shallow... I actually broke up with a girl in November because she couldn't tell the difference between the proper way to pronounce it and the WRONG WAY. I even said it like I was talking to a little kid "Nu-CLEAR" is different than "Nuk-U-LAr". Nope, didn't get it... she had to go.

Anyway, I think you can Google for that weird sheep experimentation article, if you can't find it... let me know. I got it in a popular science journal.

i remember that. i don't believe the experiments went as well as hoped--at least, the information on Nexia Biotech's website says that they're focusing on "nano-scale fibre applications", since apparently they're having trouble mass-producing spider silk that's strong enough to be used in military/industrial applications.

I have acquired for my viewing pleasure no less than five DVDs full of pirate movies. Not movies that have been pirated--movies about pirates. Old school shit, like The Black Pirate and the '54 version of Treasure Island.

I fucking win.

Y'know, life's gotta suck for pedophiles. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I feel bad for people who fuck kids. It's despicable and wrong and when somebody does it, society should do its damnedest to make them try to pay for it. Lemme repeat that, because what I'm gonna talk about here might make my stance seem blurry: it is wrong to have sexual...

The nice thing about blogs is, if you go back to something you wrote years ago and realize it sounds stupid, you can just delete it and nobody will ever know!
