DA BEARS!!!

Once again, the Monsters of the Midway, the Chicago Bears have won. They are now 7-0.
They won yesterday easily, being ahead 41-0 at halftime (winning 41-10 at final).

#1 Scoring Offense (31.6 points a game).
#1 Total Defense (245.9 yards/game) and #1 Scoring Defense (allows only 9.9 Points/Game).

A large portion of that defense goes to the man, all 6'5" and 260 lbs... #54 Brian Urlacher.



(for everyone who doesn't watch American Football, its only a 16 game season so 7-0 is HUGE. For anyone who thinks that's weak, try playing 4 quarters... you literally can barely walk the next day. Its like boxing in a sense: you can get knocked out with headgear on. The equipment protects against bruises and broken bones, but all the jarring on your knees, shoulders, neck, etc. really takes a toll.)

A Flip-Flop, a Flip to the Flippy, A Flip Flip Flop and Ya Don't Stop...

Import Pelicans to Chicago Please

You're at the park. There's hundreds of pidgeons around. (In Chicago we call them rats with wings).

Then, the mighty pelican wanders by. And... it engulfs a pidgeon. Yeah, whole pidgeon in the pelicans mouth, flapping away. Few minutes later... manages to get the pidgeon to go down head first, kicking and flapping. YUMMY!!!

We need some of these big rat eaters out here. I really, really, dislike pidgeons. I'd probably hate pelicans more and all... but a small population of semi-canibalistic pelicans might be kinda cool.

I, Michael, Of Somewhat Sound Mind...

...declare that I do not want my family or friends, upon the event of my departure from earth, to take pictures of my corpse in the hospital with a disposable camera, as I lie there with tubes in my arms and blood coming from my eyes.

I also forbid taking pictures of my corpse at the funeral. I refuse any pictures at all of my corpse, except those taken by medical and/or the Authorities in a case where it is needed.

---

Why did I just post that?

Because I had to develop pictures from a damn disposable camera of the body freshly dead in the hospital, and later in the casket today. Shit turned my stomach.

People out there have ISSUES.

That shit just AIN'T RIGHT!!!

whoopsy....

Sorry for the lack of posts, I have an extremely valid excuse reason for not posting.

My computer had been showing its age... considering it was a 5 year old former Gateway (rebuilt so many times by me it no longer warrants that brand name) that I lovingly began to call "FrankenComp." Well, this week I got a new PC.

I am no longer running 6 IMs, playing music, while compiling C# code with MS Visual Studio.Net 2003 with a death and dying 1.4 Gig AMD and 512 MB RAM...

I am now trying to dominate the world with an AMD 4200+ Athlon X2 with its lovely dual core 64 bit processors clocked at 2.2 Gigs and 2 Gigs of RAM... And to make matters more destructive, I'm running 250 gig HD's in a RAID 1.

I have since named her the Bi-Brained Beast.

Now, the question is... what do I do with Frankencomp? Music server? Linux station? Smoothwall?

Who's the Greatest?

On a recent post at ST's place, some commentary was made about great drummers, and it sparked a bit of debate. So... I'm curious to see who's faves are whose beyond that of drummers.

This isn't just going to be a skill test. Its also influence. It also shows an individuals tastes. I'm going to rate, in the drummer catagory, Danny Carey from Tool over Neal Peart from Rush simply because I do not like Rush. Just because its easy to look at so many legends when it comes to something like this, there HAS to be a number one: no ties. BUT - you can also list up to four "honorable mentions." No ranking needed on those.

I am going to have rankings for vocals, guitar, bass, drums, keyboards (piano, synth, etc.), and songwriter. That covers the basics of most rock bands. Note: rock bands. If someone wants to bring up someone like Johnny Cash... that's cool. I just don't want to read any Mozarts for songwriter, or, as much as he kicks ass... Luciano Pavarotti for vocals.

Drums - #1 Danny Carey from Tool.
Honorable Mention - Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Probot), Jimmy Chamberlain (Smashing Pumpkins), John Bonham (Led Zepelin), and Vinnie Paul (Pantera).

Keys - #1 Bernie Worrell (Parliament, Funkadelic, Praxis, Colonol Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains...)
Honorable Mention - Elton John, Billy Joel, Ray Charles, Ben Folds.

Bass - #1 Les Claypool (Primus, Oysterhead, Sausage, Colonol Claypool's...)
Honorable Mention - Bootsy Collins (Parliament, Funkadelic, Praxis), Flea (Red Hot Chilli Peppers), Tim Commerford (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave).

Guitar - #1 Jimi Hendrix
Honorable Mention - Buddy Guy, Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave), Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains), Dimebag Darrell (Pantera, Damageplan).

Vocalist - #1 Maynard James Keehan (Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer)
Honorable Mention - Freddie Mercury (Queen), Layne Staley (Alice In Chains, Mad Season), Chris Cornell (Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog), Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil).

Songwriter - #1 Bob Dylan
Honorable Mention - Willie Nelson, Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails), Marilyn Manson, whoever from the Beatles actually did the most of the songwriting (since John is still arguing from the grave with Paul about it).

Ready... Set... ARGUE!!!
heehee

Bringin' Paxil Back...

Christine has discovered, simply, one of the greatest parodies EVER!!! So great, that I have spread the word of this great parody via all my blogs, LJ's, MySpace... by any means necessary.

Thanks to the Gravy Queen, I now have the song in mp3 format, to annoy all who ride with me.

The song and video are called "Paxil Back" by The Gray Boy, a parody of "Sexy Back" by that anorexic Timberlake feller.

I'll take an order of revenge, cold... Just Water.

American Canadian Idiot

Lately, I've been addicted to a couple of new Weird Al songs. White and Nerdy, and Canadian Idiot. So, today on musical friday I bring you, some dudes homemade video to Canadian Idiot.

And, The Worlds Smallest Penis Award Goes To...

Kim Jong Il, dictator of North Korea.

Kim narrowly defeats George W. Bush, who has won the award for the past three years.

We have all heard of the small mans "Napoleon Complex."

It is traditional that men who have issues with their manhood, since it is so tiny, are war mongering idiots. Just look at... Napoleon. There are many others who have followed in his footsteps: Adolph Hitler (who won the award from 1936 till his death), Joseph McCarthy (winner, 1951-1956), and Osama bin Laden (winner, 2001-2002).

Kimmie wins it this year, due to him being such a little biznitch, he tested nuclear weapons. Doing so doesn't create peace, or safety, it makes the whole world, including China, look at this crazy little man and do a collective WTF?

So now, hopefully all the world will look at this deranged little man, and no longer play with him. He'll be left to diddle his shriveled little falice until it falls off.

Of course if he is dumb enough to actually use the WMD's... His homeland will turn into a crater just north of the land that used to be known as south Korea, as it would be able to go by just Korea again... since the former north would be under 100 feet of sea water.

Know Your Enemy

I miss Rage Against the Machine lately.

Considering this was a band who was pissed off at the system in the 90's... just imagine now.

What's great, is when you find that rare, live clip of a song, that had a guest vocalist on the original... and getting him to be singing his couple lines of that song.

Especially when its THE man... Maynard from Tool and A Perfect Circle.

The late Friday music... Rage Against The Machine featuring Maynard... Know Your Enemy.

Huh!
Yeah, we're comin' back then with another bombtrack
Think ya know what it's all about
Huh!
Hey yo, so check this out
Yeah!
Know your enemy!
Come on!

Born with insight and a raised fist
A witness to the slit wrist, that's with
As we move into '92
Still in a room without a view
Ya got to know
Ya got to know
That when I say go, go, go
Amp up and amplify
Defy
I'm a brother with a furious mind
Action must be taken
We don't need the key
We'll break in

Something must be done
About vengeance, a badge and a gun
'Cause I'll rip the mike, rip the stage, rip the system
I was born to rage against 'em

Fist in ya face, in the place
And I'll drop the style clearly
Know your enemy...Know your enemy!
Yeah!

Hey yo, and dick with this...uggh!
Word is born
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Now I got no patience
So sick of complacence
With the D the E the F the I the A the N the C the E
Mind of a revolutionary
So clear the lane
The finger to the land of the chains
What? The land of the free?
Whoever told you that is your enemy

Now something must be done
About vengeance, a badge and a gun
'Cause I'll rip the mike, rip the stage, rip the system
I was born to rage against 'em

Now action must be taken
We don't need the key
We'll break in

I've got no patience now
So sick of complacence now
I've got no patience now
So sick of complacence now
Sick of sick of sick of sick of you
Time has come to pay...
Know your enemy!

Come on!
Yes I know my enemies
They're the teachers who taught me to fight me
Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission
Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite
All of which are American dreams (8 times)
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams

The Moral Majority

Those moral republicans are at it again, showing us Liberals how its done.

We're bad because we believe getting a BJ isn't that bad an offense. Its a bad thing to get one from an intern, especially when your married. Its not a thing we look up to, but we can think of things a lot worse.

Like sending explicit e-mails to teenage boys. At least that is what Mark Foley was doing, and his Republican buddies were ignoring.

The dubs administration, and the Republican higher ups have no problem with one of their boys doing that. So, officials have covered for him. Why, its perfectly natural for an adult man to do things like that. Its all about bondage... er... I mean bonding.

They don't want two men to marry, as that is just flat out wrong...

A man to have sexual corrospondence with a teenage boy is ok.

Thanks for showing me what morals are Conservatives, but I'll have to pass on morals like that. It's just disgusting to me.
