Though bashed by the Critics, Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest, is an excellent movie. It's pure action movie entertainment. My own local paper gave it a D+. Did you even watch the movie, Mr. Critic?

Rush Limbaugh's Viagara incident: http://thecelebritycafe.com/features/6481.html   My bullshit meter is pegged on that story.  He saw a drop in his ratings and needed a sympathetic audience to bring his numbers UP (*ahem*).  It seems like he staged the whole thing so that the "liberal media" he's so paranoid about would report it.  It would be as easy as making the pill bottle conspicuous to the

I've talked about maturity being more of state of being than enacting a certain code to be "mature."  Let's face it, we all need fun, and fun is a very child-like concept.  That doesn't turn you into a child.   I mused just today that a great way to self-check your own maturity is to think of all the concepts that you held dear and gave up for good reasons.  A major one is good vs. evil.  There

American's got all self-righteous when a Dutch Cartoon spoofed the Muslim religious icons.  Why would they get that upset over a cartoon?  It's not even real.  I personally felt they shouldn't get that upset over a cartoon, but the Dutch newspaper also lacked the good sense to just stop printing them.   Hold the phone, Oral Roberts!  American's are now equally upset over the DaVinci Code movie.

Coca-cola has this red-cap collect points and win prizes contest going on.  They even "sell out" of things.  At first, I was going for an acoustic guitar for 400 points.  At about 360 points, they made the guitar 565 points.  So I'm off to earn 24 12-pack cans of diet Coke called "A Year's Supply of Coke."  Suddenly, they're all gone.  "Sold Out" they say.  How do you get sold out of a product

I've had two Coca-cola Blak so far.  The first was straight-up.  It's a little sweet, and I believe it's tangier than Coke.  The second one had half-and-half added.  Blak curdles milk, so I don't recommend it.  I personally like Diet Coke and Latte, alternating sips.  So I think its pretty good.

Crime doesn't pay? Um, no. The reason there is crime is because it does pay. Yesterday, a car carrying pirated music and movies led a high-speed chase up I-95 and came to an explosive and deadly end in front of the car dealer where I maintain my car.

I get to work later than others; therefore, I leave later than others. I get to the parking lot and park, usually behind another car. Typically speaking, all cars already in the lot are gone by the time I leave. AND YET, without fail the empty parking lot has two cars in the lot: the car in front of me, and mine. I rarely get to start up my car and just drive it out. Thanks to Murphy's Law,

Watching someone get nearly backed over by a Jeep yesterday reminded me of the problem with SUV drivers backing up over their kids because they supposedly can't see them. The near miss with the Jeep was not from a blind spot. The driver could clearly see the pedestrian--but failed to look. In SUV's, there's a large blind spot directly behind the vehicle. To combat that, they're starting to

John and I went bowling today. The duckpins lane was closed (those are pint-sized pins that are spread apart). The tenpins lane was open. I lost both games. Both games were recovered in the last three frames. I got a 135 and a 148. Not bad, considering it was an alley ball and I haven't bowled lately. Now we are both hurting and I'm sure it'll be worse in the morning. Maybe a league this

A weird thing happens when you go downtown in Baltimore. The pedestrians intentionally cross the streets at the worst possible times. They wait for the light to turn red, for them, and then cross to impede traffic. Worse yet, if there is a crosswalk, they often just cut across the street. Diagonally. But that's not all, they intentionally do not check for cars about to hit them, and cross

I got an offer for an "exciting new opportunity" from company X. I'm sorry, I can't name them for fear of death squads. It started sounding weird when I listened to a Conference Call that was obviously pre-recorded off-line. It was supposed to explain the available "jobs," but instead spent 5% vaguely hinting about what the business is, and 95% of the time convincing me they were reputable.

Since I've been suggesting lately, I have a better way to fight piracy than charging students and grandmothers.  Focus on those that sell pirated wears.  Also, charge them with fraud if they misrepresent their illegal copies as legitimate.  This will strike at the heart of the problem and strike harder at the counterfeits.   Here's the current model.   1) Movie, music, game/software gets leaked

First, I hear Star Trek will go on indefinite hiatus. Then, I hear there may be a movie in the next 2+ years. They need to rethink their approach to be successful, so here are my suggestions:1) Hire non-traditional writers/directors/producers like Joss Whedon and J. Michael Stazcynski, or both!! 2) It doesn't have to cost a lot. In fact, since scifi is still a minority genre, it should be

This article was published on April 11th, 2005. It's all about the PSP and what it can and can't do. For a Forbes article, it's incredibly short sighted. It contends that only gameplay is worth it on the PSP. Well, here are many reasons why the author is wrong:1) This will sell a lot of Sony Memory Stick Duos. They used an existing memory card!

I kind of like Celebrity Poker and the Poker Championships with Texas Hold 'em. Unfortunately, is now there are Texas Hold 'em kits in the stores. Cards + Poker Chips can pretty much handle any of your poker needs. There are no special needs for Texas Hold 'em, except for knowing the rules. Then there's Celebrity Blackjack. There's no bluffing. The players do not actually interact in the game.

Not too bad, considering, but we didn't learn. I see no improvements to potential flood areas. But then again, it was a fluke. Now everyone goes flying home whenever there's a thunderstorm.

We Should Remember What A True American Is   Dear Mr. Sarbanes, On the topic of an Anti-gay Marriage Amendment, I could speak my mind many different ways, but I'll leave politics to politicians. To me, it really boils down to an Amendment that restricts the rights of select individuals.

Creepy Crawlies   Did you ever get that creepy feeling like a bug is crawling lightly over your body hair? I felt that feeling in my trouser's right leg. When it kept happening, I just shook my leg to see what would pop out. It had a 4-inch legspan, about 2/3rds the size of a tarantula. It was very hard to kill!

I was at the Baltimore Museum of Art and noticed that one of the Wedding Quilts, which were all from Baltimore, had something odd about it's decoration.

Slime Sticks To Everything   Scalpers, those assholes who sell tickets to desperate people, are a slimy bunch. Because it's illegal to sell tickets higher than cost (which actually requires them to remove the handling fee as well), they don't ask if you want to buy. They ask if you have any tickets they can buy. This serves two purposes: they can add tickets to their hands at less than cost,

Gay Guys Can Date, Too   Wow, my date on Saturday made me forget that I was alone this Christmas. Okay, it was after Christmas, but the company was welcome! I remember now that good dates are a very rare thing.

The Price   Apparently love comes at a stiff cost. I care for you deeply and you've taken my help, and then wasted it away. I can't help anymore. Everyone else has tried. Instead of taking the opportunities given by us and using it to better yourself, you've decided to live day-by-day as if the next day would be erased of all past events. We tried to shield you. That didn't work. Will

The main rules of the Mirror Project are a self portrait with parts of both you and the camera in the image. A lot of people violate the camera rule, though.

Hitler's Mustache   Straight porn is so terrible. I know things are changing, but usually the men and women are really ugly. Usually the women are lesbians in private life, and often the men are gay or bisexual. And how about that "stunt cock" phenomenon where in one shot, it's smaller, differently shaped and sometimes a different color? What the fuck is up with "the landing strip?" I mean,

The Christians Are Revolting!   The absurdity of buying Jesus paraphenalia at an aka Christian bookstore has no boundary. I can't find a picture on the web, but they were selling a "success" portrait, framed and all, with Jesus shaking hands with two businessmen in a glass high-rise office building. Underneath was some bible quote about success. I'm sorry, but: JESUS DOESN'T PLAY THE MARKET

End of an Era   We lost Casey and Blake this year, in 2003. Okay, we didn't actually lose them, they merely stopped blogging. I'll be the first to admit this is a hobby. I wouldn't do this with a private blog, because that's why I have a laptop with a word processor. I almost quit 2 or 3 times this year. As far as I can tell, Casey wanted more time in his personal life, and Blake just wanted

Christmas in North-South Land   I'm sick all the time anymore. I got my flu shot before they became scarce, and I'm sick all the time. Hmmm. The ex used to always be sick the entire month of December. I always thought that was weird. Sympathetic subconscious hypochondriac? I don't know. Dating scene is successful. Way too successful.

Beauty May Be Skin Deep, But When Have You Seen A Thought?   There's this gay couple I know. They like sex. They like sex a lot. They like sex a lot with a lot of guys. Together. Apart. It's their lifestyle. I like them both, but I doubt I could maintain that lifestyle. They didn't used to be this way. They both had partners, met perchance, and did a relatively quick dump 'n' regroup.

Carrying Water In A Sieve II: Ice melts, so move your water quickly   All things considered, a foot of snow isn't that much as long as the sun shines. Solar radiation on a black-surfaced road melts ice very well. The plows did their thing, but I'm afraid the county may have shot its load on our first snowfall. Anyway, the date moved to Sunday. It was very nice, though we both ate too much.

Carrying Water In A Sieve   You can easily carry water in a sieve if it's a snowball or ice cube! We've been dumped on with probably the biggest snow I've seen in December. Lucky for me that Maryland is on the north/south border of climates or else I'd never witness ice falling from the sky. About 12 inches arrived at the only time I wasn't in the mood for 12 inches. It came in three layers:

What Color Is The Chameleon?   Now that Tom Cruise is starring in an almost exact remake of Shogun, how long will it take for him to say something similar as the star of Shogun? As a fan of facial hair, I can honestly say that that is bad beard on Tom. Others will probably disagree, but I just can't shake the traditional Cruise look. In that last link, Tom says: "I'm not Mr Fashion Statement

Tits On A Bull   Please tell me why there's a TIME button on some microwaves. Everything you do with a microwave--cooking on any power, egg timing, delay cooking--starts with how long you want it to go on. It's a button that says "I'm going to operate the device now," but you're already operating the device. Silly nonsensical controls.

Person of the Week?   This week's person (which is not a feature I plan on continuing) is none other than teen sniper sensation John Lee Malvo. It's not a good or sympathetic thing, I choose him because he's infamous for the awful things that he may-have [legal thing, innocent until proven guilty and all that] done. Let me think, when is the last time a 17-year-old did something an adult, any

Straight People Could Learn From Homosexuals   I just came from my favorite bar. It has guys in it. Lots of guys. They tend to kiss the other guys. I like that a lot. It dawned on me that even though I see kissing at straight bars, they're nothing like the gay bars. Straight bars are filled with a lot of chat. The chat often never leads anywhere. It's considered rude to kiss before the

Person(s) of the Week?   It's real tempting to say Mickey Mouse, since ol' Steamboat Willy is 75 this week. I was in Disneyworld this week and there was no hubbub over the birthday! However, I'll choose the Supreme Court of Massachusetts for making an obvious decision. Why obvious? If you treat one group of people differently than another, it's discrimination.

I, The Jury   So they found the ex-army sniper suspect guilty of planning, executing, and using a gullible teenager as an instrument of murder. The evidence was overwhelming. I mean, they almost had as much evidence as the OJ case, or even the Jean-Benet Ramsey case. He also got convicted of a Terrorism law, which I think carries the possibility of the death penalty. Now, if the punishement

High Infertility   Evolution is the gradual change of a species by genetics that are favored by selection. In the not too recent past, people who were susceptible to measles, smallpox, or bubonic plague died. Those that survived were more likely to be resistent to those diseases, hence a disease eventually kills everything, or a resistant group with the right genetics survive--like Charlton

I Know What I Want For Christmas   Went to a drag show to benefit AIDS patients today. One of the acts was this one. Yum, yum! I like the way they spin country music into the obvious homosexual overtones. Marlboro Man and the Cowboy in the Village People knew it for years. I'll have to settle for the autographed calendar.

Where's a Cop When You Need One?   On the way home last night, two idiot drivers decided to terrorize me on the road by boxing me in and preventing me from passing. At the time, it was pretty scary. In retrospect, at least they didn't ram my car. Funny thing is, I wanted to simply take the next exit that they weren't taking and I believe they thought they forced me to exit. I can get home

And So Another Bad Day Begins   I just saw 24. I won't spoil it, just in case you catch it later or on F/X. All I know is that I don't really know what's going on. What I do know is the dead body had my last name. It's not a very common name, so you tend to notice it when it's on a TV character. The only other time I can remember is Omar the Mind Reader on Moonlighting in the first season.

Crime Doesn't Pay Until You Sell The Movie Rights   So this Muhammed guy fires his lawyers and decides to represent himself in the first sniper murder case. What did I miss here?

But the real joke is that Pugs have a lot of nasal problems because of their pug noses. I was taking my regular medicine 4 times a day, so it was time for something else. Take a look at that thing.

I Don't Know And I Don't Care   I was thinking about Dungeons and Dragons lately, partially because the X-Box game (I now own X-Box) Knights of the Old Republic, plays a lot like Baldur's Gate.
