When Rabbits Attack IX



Rabbits are horrible villians that prey upon helpless snakes.

This is getting out of control.



The real heartbreak is the apathetic bird that refuses to lend much needed assistance.

Could you tone it down a little?


James Earl Jones took some liberties with his first voice over sessions for Star Wars IV. Lucas later enforced the script and had the voice overs redone.

Here are the ORIGINALS.

WARNING: I am fairly certain the 'F' word appears at least once. Also, adult themes. Viewer discretion is advised.

...and Six to Eight Black Men.


About 15 minutes long, in three parts, but utterly worth it:

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

This is excellent marketing!

I could survive for -EVER! chained to a bunk bed with a velociraptor Got this from Garit's blog.
I jacked the script and added my own, more correct and awesome answer (they thought I would only survive 57 seconds! Which is clearly in error). Also, I took out the link to their website... but, still, clever marketing.

Cashing Out: The End of an Era.

The deed is done.
We have sold our WoW accounts for $480. I really didn't think we would get that much, but it worked out really well. With the new expansion on the horizon, gear is less of an issue and peoples interest in WoW has been revitalized. Suddenly 4 poorly geared 70's became a worthwhile commodity.

Money in the bank, baby. Now to convince my wife to gimme some of that money to upgrade my computer so I can play WAR!

Which I do every day.... for hours....

You are Challenged!!!

I took the Geek Test and scored a just shy of 50%, putting me on the winners end of Super Geekdom. CAN YOU DO THE SAME!? I think not, but to prove myself as reigning Geek-King (see below post), I need you all to bathe in the shame of your mediocre geeklessness.

Note that the test is very long. It is, however, also totally hilarious and worth it.

If anyone can gain a higher score than myself I will dedicate a whole blog in prostrate submission to your utter geekhood and my pathetic inferiority. Please don't cheat. I didn't. I am only really worried about Sam at this point... and I am hoping he doesn't work up the gumption to take me on.

One of the questions in there gives you geek points if you you listen to Ween! HAHAHA! Can you believe that? Well, that and seeing A-ron again has rekindled my old love.

...and here on my blog I am empowered to subject my friends to it. Behold, my Ween playlist for your casual enjoyment. These songs are hand-selected by myself. The first four tracks are required listening... the rest is for those who loved what they heard.

WARNING: I highly disrecommend delving further than this into the madness that is Ween. They are actually quite crude and offensive at times. To sensitive or principled folk they are a musical minefield that ought not be traversed.

Hail the Geek-Kings of Plato's Nerdy Republic.


Physical scientists and biologists were the first individuals to use energy flows to explain social and economic development. Joseph Henry, an American physicist and first secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, remarked that the "fundamental principle of political economy is that the physical labor of man can only be ameliorated by ...the transformation of matter from a crude state to a artificial condition...by expending what is called power or energy."

The biologist-philosopher Herbert Spencer observed that human systems have the unique ability to temporarily halt and even reverse the spontaneous increase of entropy by tapping energy flows in nature. Spencer likened the evolutionary process, both biological and social, to the entropy law because the struggle for existence was a struggle for available energy and resources. Spencer stated that "evolution is a change from a less coherent form to a more coherent form, consequent on the dissipation of energy and the integration of matter."

There were a variety of Technocratic groups and organisations in a number of countries with a number of scientists, writers and others connected to ideas of thermoeconomics, bioeconomics and non-market economics. These ideas developed into the concept of an Energy Accounting based system, as opposed to a price system and the idea of a scientific social design based on thermodynamics. Technocracy Incorporated predominated these groups as to notability and popularity. That group became a popular social movement during the 1930's and is still active today. This group calls itself an educational and research organisation and continues to advocate a technate design for North America.
