    First Anniversary today
    Today is our first anniversary. We'll be at the Icehouse (what used to be the Echo Lounge) in the bar part hanging out after 7 pm tonight if anyone wants to drop by.

    I'm sure this has been posted before and I'm sure I'm sure I'm tempting some kind of Escher-esque nightmare by doing this, but here you go:

    I just noticed that my buddy Fred Schnieder (a.k.a. Fred Crimson, a.k.a. Der Schneider, a.k.a. Grandpa Scorpion) has a Live Journal. He's doing his own puzzles so go check them out:

    I've know Fred since we were locker neighbors back in freshman year of high school (which was 1983 for those of you keeping score). Fred's actually where I get my undying love of prog-rock and noise. Fred's stream-of-consciousness antics have brought countless hours of joy to thousands of imaginary children, many of who had horrible birth defects like the inability to see the point of Andy Rooney or deep fry more then one turkey at a time. After high school, he spent time as a bridge token repairman before finally gaining the courage to follow his dream and becoming a programmer for a financial company. He now lives in Queens with his lovely wife, their dog, and the ghost of Chang Ki-Shek's nanny.

    Rather disappointed
    There's a man named Stan Romanek in Colorado who supposedly has a video showing an alien peeking into the window of his house, and the video is supposedly so incredible that it has convinced several people of the existence of aliens, including a local politician who's now trying to create an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission in Denver.

    Here's an interview with a Colorado Film School instructor who viewed the video and is now convinced it's real:
    http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/may/29/expert-says-ufo-tape-no-fake/

    So I love all this kind of stuff, and I'm excited to see the video thinking it's going to be all creepy and hard to figure out how it was done and what not. The film was leaked to the Internet (surprise! surprise!) and here it (supposedly) is:
    http://io9.com/5011935/denver-alien-video-++-revealed

    What happened to the film analyst's description of "...his eyes blink. His cheeks move. He turns his head side-to-side. This would be a very elaborate puppet."  and the whole bit about how much a puppet like that would cost. I mean seriously. It looks like a Halloween mask on a styrofoam wig stand at the end of a broomstick. Man, I was hoping for creepy and I got what looks like a prank you'd pull on some already scared girls at a sleep over when you were in high school.

    Now granted, this might not even be the video, and just some kind of fake or prank, but I was kind of looking forward to seeing the video. Oh, well, maybe a different one will show up.

    Observation For The Day
    It's hard to get your chores for the day done with a horde of Mexicans tearing your roof apart.

    We're having the roof replaced and while they're tearing the old shingles off, the dogs are going batshit and running around the house. I got out of the hall bathroom at one point to be greeted by all three of them next to each other looking at me, all squished into the hall Murphy can barely navigate.

    I also love the irony that the pit bull with the bite record is the best behaved of the three in this situation.

    How could Joey Redner not know when he posted his list of the world's worst beers:

    http://www.tampabay.com/features/food/spirits/article478964.ece

    that I wouldn't suddenly feel the urge to track them all down and sample their putrid goodness? How could he not know that simply printing this list was enough to make me send little beer gestapo to kick in some doors in on my tastebuds?

    Oh, Bootie U95 you shall yet be mine!

    PS: Unless I'm mistaken, Joey Redner is Joe Redner the guy who owns all the strip joints in Tampa and who was constantly harassed by the right-wing Christian nutjobs down there.

    South America's EMO war

    Mexico's Emo War Escalates: Government calls for unity as massive attacks are threatened in Tijuana
    http://www.thedailyswarm.com/swarm/update-government-intervenes-mexicos-emo-war-calls-unity/

    And by far the best title of an article:
    Mexico's 'Los Darkys' aka Goths deny involvement in anti-Emo attacks: 'We are obscure, but not violent'
    http://www.thedailyswarm.com/headlines/update-mexicos-los-darkys-aka-goths-deny-involvement-anti-emo-attacks-we-are-obscure-not-violent/

    'Los Darkys' should be a band of zombie mariachis who fight crime.

    But where did it all start you ask?

    "Morrill told an investigator preparing his pre-sentence report about being sexually assaulted by the legendary Bigfoot, a North American folklore character said to be between 7 and 10 feet tall, and covered in dark brown or dark reddish hair. Patton said Morrill really believes the assaulted happened."

    I have red beans and rice! I have red beans and rice!
    Ghini brought me back red beans and rice from New Orleans!

    AND

    They're red beans and rice from the Trolleystop! Only THE best restaurant  in all of New Orleans!

    AND

    In that perfect, Burges Merridth-the-nuke-just-went-off-and-I-was-in-the-bank-vault-but-now-broke-my-glasses moment, I have no tabasco!

    Happy Holidays From Your East Coast Doppleganger...
    After several years of knowing of the existence of the other Stephen J. Paschoal in California, I finally remembered to send him a Christmas gift this year from his Amazon wishlist. Sadly, it wasn't Highlander on DVD (as he didn't have that listed), but it was a Leonard Cohen CD, so really you can't argue with the guy's tastes.

    It'll be interesting to see his reaction.

    (New) Best Spam Ever!

    You'll have a dick like Jesus, after taking this medicine. http://lahutch.com/

    A dick like Jesus, you say? Really? What exactly does that mean?

    Self-Cleaning Litterbox free for the asking
    It's one of these

    http://www.amazon.com/LitterMaid-LME9000-Advanced-Automatic-Self-Cleaning/dp/B000H6AK7A/ref=pd_sim_k_shvl_img_3/102-5888264-7798502

    and it goes to the first person who replies to this post saying they want it.


    Now, before you get too worked up and just post to beat everyone else, let me tell you a few things...

    You will need these:

    http://www.amazon.com/LitterMaid-LMR300-Littermaid-Receptacles-18-Pack/dp/B0006N3IK0/ref=pd_bxgy_k_text_b/102-5888264-7798502

    There was only one of them left in the box when we got the litterbox and we used the last one before we decided to give the litterbox up.

    The second thing is that we used this litterbox for about a week before deciding to give it up. We had two cats using it (Maya and Eartha) and it just couldn't keep up with the waste. Granted some of that is Eartha poop and it, like the animal it came from, is inherently evil, but the box didn't do a very good job. Take a look at the reviews listed in the Amazon link above -- they're all pretty dismal. I think this box would work best for someone with one smaller cat (like the every-lovely litovka) but it's up for grabs for anyone out there with a single cat.

    Now they y'all have heard the disclaimers, anyone interested?

    Tucker? I hardly know her!
    Back in the day when Reagan ruled the world and living in Rhode Island chaffed my psyche like an overly starched pair of undies, I dated a young lady by the name of Anastacia Kolb. Well, Stace's band will be playing at a little bar called The Stage Door in Tucker, GA on Wednesday, September 5th. I'll be attending and anyone who's interested should make the odyssean OTP journey and come check them out.

    The band is named America's Sweetheart and you can check them out here:

    http://www.myspace.com/americassweetheartnyc

    Odd... the Stage Door is apparently a gay bar in Tucker. I didn't know there was a gay bar in Tucker. Go figure. But not only is it a gay bar in Tucker, it's a gay bar in Tucker with their own stable of drag queens aptly named the Stage Door Divas. So apparently, I could have entitled this post  "I wanna take you to a gay bar!".

    Anyway, here's the bar's information:

    http://www.thestagedoor.biz/

    The address is can be found off the America's Sweetheart Myspace page or on the Stage Door's website.

    Oh, and this is the band that America's Sweetheart is playing with:

    http://www.myspace.com/12106875

    Pat (Stace's hubby) doesn't think that the Sons Of Sanchez realize this is a gay bar they're playing at... Man... This just gets better and better!

    Next update: It's apparently a free show.

    Why Daniel Wester rocks
    I've been assigned to do redesign work, and one of the components is an in-house application called Loki. Not knowing anything about the process, I AIMed Daniel. The following conversation ensued:

    ME (12:00:49 PM): Okay, so how do I run Loki on (server name)?
    DANIEL (12:01:26 PM): It's running
    DANIEL (12:01:35 PM): there's a 10a kick of it
    DANIEL (12:01:43 PM): if we need to get it kicked any other time -- pses ticket
    ME (12:02:30 PM): Okay
    ME (12:02:47 PM): I know nothing about Loki besides he was a god your ancestors worshiped.
    DANIEL (12:04:27 PM): ancestors?
    DANIEL (12:04:33 PM): still worshipping
    DANIEL (12:04:39 PM): where you think the templates came from?

    Melissa and I were discussing her day working at the groomers...

    Melissa (1:53:56 PM): we had two dogs cancel
    Stephen (1:54:18 PM): The dogs themselves called and canceled?
    Melissa (1:54:32 PM): they are impressive dogs
    Stephen (1:54:52 PM): "What's that, Lassie? Timmy fell down a well so you can't make it to your 2:30 appointment."
    Melissa (1:57:19 PM): what's that lassie? mommy's still drunk and can't drive you to the groomers?
    Melissa (1:57:31 PM): housewives crack me up
