Melody

I don’t know anything about Melody Gardot or anything about her music, but why the hell can’t she look at the camera in at least on picture? 

Last time I checked she wasn’t in U2

Cell Phones –Bad!

37 prisoners in a Pakistan jail were caught hiding cellphones inside their bodies—presumably their rectums. And for 30 of said prisoners, life continued as normal once the phones were removed. But for an unlucky 7, those stuffing themselves with smartphones, nature couldn’t take its course. So they underwent surgery.

Upon discharge (the prisoners from the hospital, not the cellphones from the butts), the prisoners will be moved to special punishment cells for their actions. And it just goes to show, while push email sure is nice and Wi-Fi browsing can come in handy, it’s all no replacement for a good sit.  Found this via cookie by way of gizmodo.

My beef with McCain

Back in March I posted this:

I need this kind of publicity. People will flock to the Revolution in droves. I need to become the boy-toy of some Governor. I looked over the possible candidates (thank you wikipedia). Not that Spitzer is much of a looker but I have standards so the only really possibility is Sarah Palin, the hottie Governor of Alaska. I know, I know. She’s from Alaska and I’m from Pennsylvania. Long distance relationships never work, but for this kind of publicity I’m willing to put in the effort that this kind of relationship requires. Having a relationship with someone from Alaska is a windfall for me as well. They don’t have electricity in Alaska let alone the internet so Sarah won’t know about this site and therefore she won’t be able to sue me. Please, please don’t sue me.

Now McCain is copying my idea by making her his running mate.  While I’m flattered that McCain chose to follow me, I am annoyed that my time with my little Eskimo Pie (that’s what I call her) will be severely crimped.   Alas.  I will just have to spend more time with Valerie or Dana.

Guitar Hero boosting music sales

I was going to copy and paste some crappy article from cnn saying how the video games Guitar Hero and Rock Band are getting people into classic rock and boosting music sales, but see their only talking positives.  I completely agree with their take.  I bought the game on Friday (I kicked Tom Morello’s ass) and have been playing the game a bunch.  Not WoW levels but still enough.  After hearing some cool tunes I illegally pirated several songs.  I guess they didn’t think about that did they?  Did they?

Bigfoot Dead?

A policeman and a former corrections officer say that on Friday, they will unveil evidence of what they claim is their biggest capture ever: the body of Bigfoot.
The thawed body of a creature reputed to be Bigfoot reportedly weighs more than 500 pounds.
Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, a pair of Bigfoot-hunting hobbyists from north Georgia, say they found the creature’s body in a wooded area and spotted several similar creatures that were still alive.
The carcass of the furry half-man, half-ape is 7 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs more than 500 pounds, they say. However, the two are not disclosing the exact location of their discovery in order to protect the remaining creatures.
Tom Nelson, chairman of the biology department at North Georgia College and State University in Dahlonega, said he’s “pretty skeptical” the world will feast its eyes on a new species Friday.
“That would certainly rock mammalogy,” joked Nelson, who specializes in the study of mammals. “I see a research grant in my future.”
Whitton and Dyer plan to unveil what they say is DNA and photo evidence of the discovery in Palo Alto, California, in conjunction with a group called Searching for Bigfoot Inc.
A photograph on that group’s Web site shows what appears to be the body of a large, hairy creature with an ape-like face, stuffed into a large freezer.
According to a written release, the two announced the discovery on an Internet radio show, “Squatch Detective,” several weeks ago.
“The only person we would allow to come down and verify the body was ‘the Real Bigfoot Hunter,’ Tom Biscardi,” Dyer said, referring to Searching for Bigfoot’s CEO, who has been looking for the elusive, legendary creature in the United States and Canada since 1971.
Whitton is a Georgia police officer who is on administrative leave after being shot in the wrist during a pursuit. Dyer is a former prison guard.
DNA tests on the body have begun, said the statement, and “extensive scientific studies” will be done on the body by scientists, including a molecular biologist, an anthropologist and a paleontologist.
Nelson, the university professor, acknowledged that new species of animals have been discovered in recent decades and that, in science, “we always acknowledge the possibility of something new.”
But he said that even in north Georgia, home to the Blue Ridge Mountains and the foot of the Appalachian Trail, it stretches the imagination to think a family of 7-foot-tall creatures could have eluded hunters, hikers and creeping development until now.
“To the average person, these places just seem like extreme wilderness where you’ll find lions and tigers and bears,” he said. “The reality is that you’re never more than a mile from a road.”
The group says the animal is male, has reddish hair and “blackish-gray” eyes and human-like feet, hands and teeth.

He might be dead but we still have the Conewago Salamander Man.  Nobody has found the Salamander Man dead now have they?

Happy Birthday!!

My birthday was the 13th.  You know who else has a birthday on the 13th?  Fidel Castro.  Coincidence?  I think not.

York County Prison

The other day I found this from my favorite site Opacity

Which made me create a waymarking waypoint

I actually own that category for retired prisons.  That’s right I get way more geeky than you can even imagine.

Here’s the youtube video of someone trying to sell the prison.

Here are the photos from my adventure

I found a nearly hidden entrance to an overgrown courtyard behind the prison.  I weaved through the remains of the homeless peoples homes and down the stairs to an unlocked door.  My heart was hammering in my chest as I pushed open the door and peered into the gloom of the prison.  The step across the threshold was one of the hardest I’ve ever taken…

Dichotomous Downloads

I downloaded two songs the other night.  Sly Fox by Nas and Two Hearts by Kylie Minogue

So we look at what’s going on — this as an EXTREME aggression, um
I’m also hearing about it from EVERYWHERE!
It’s-it’s on the islands, it’s on the continent, it’s here: it’s everywhere!
And this is, if you will, a WAR — An all out assault by…

The sly fox
Cyclops
We locked
In the idiot box
The video slots
Broadcast
The Waco Davidian plots
They own YouTube, Myspace
When this ignorant shit gon’ stop?
They monopolizing news
Your views
And the channel you choose
Propaganda
Visual cancer
The eye

Frequency antenna
Doctor mind bender
Remote control

Slave culture
Game’s over
What’s a Fox characteristic?
Slick shit
Sensin’
Misinformation
Pimp the station
Over stimulation
Reception
Deception
Comcast digital Satan
The Fox has a bushy tail
And Bush tells
Lies and Foxtrots
So I don’t know what’s real

Watch what you watchin’
Fox keeps feeding us toxins
Stop sleeping
Start thinking
Outside of the box and
Unplug from The Matrix doctrine
But watch what you say Big Brother is watchin’

Watch what you watchin’
Fox keeps feeding us toxins
Stop sleeping
Start thinking
Outside of the box and
Unplug from The Matrix doctrine
But watch what you say Fox 5 is watchin’

The Fear Factor got you all rattled up
O’ Reilly
Oh really?
No rally needed
I’ll tie you up
Network for child predators, settin’ ‘em up
Myspace pimps, hoes, and sluts
Ya’ll exploit rap culture, then ya’ll flip on us
And you own the post, and ya’ll shit on us
What is they net worth?
They gon’ try to censor my next verse?
Throw ‘em off the roof neck first
While I’m clicking my cursor
Reading blogs about the pressure they put on Universal
It gets worse while I’m clicking my mouse
While they kickin’ my house
They figured us out
Why a nigga go south
It’s either he caught a body, no sleep they watchin’!

The backdoor deals
On oil fields
How’s NaS the most violent person?
Ya’ll don’t know talent if it hit you
Bringin’ up my criminal possession charges with a pistol (pistol)
I use Viacom
As my firearm
And let the lyrics split you
Who do you rely upon?
They shoot shells at Leviathan
I’m dealing with the higher form
F**k if you care how I write a poem?
Only Fox that I love was the red one
Only black man that Fox loves is in jail or a dead one!
Red rum
Political bedlam
Don’t let the hype into your eyes and ear drum
Murdoch on Fox
Not 18 with Barracas
And he hate Barack cause
He march with the marchers

I pledge allegiance to the fair and balanced truth.
Not the biased truth
Not the liar’s truth
But the highest truth
I will not be deceived
nor will I believe
In the Propaganda
I will not fall for the Okey-Doke
I am tuned-in

Watch, cause they’re watching
Watch what you’re watching

Better watch, cause they’re watching
Watch what you’re watching

Me-Me-Media
Misleading ya

Watch what you’re watching

You make me invisible
Like sky you make my day
I feel so wonderful
Oh oh-oh don’t let go

I’m seeing the dark of you
It feels like I never saw the sun

Should I shout for a rescue
Oh oh-oh don’t let go
Oh oh-oh don’t let go

Two hearts are beating together
I’m in love, I’m in love
Is this forever and ever
I’m in love, I’m in love

Two hearts are beating together

I’m in love, I’m in love
Is this forever and ever
I’m in love, I’m in love
[ Two Hearts lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]

Looks good in sunshine
Hold on because im coming on up for it
I can’t even see up here
Oh oh-oh don’t let go
Oh oh-oh don’t let go

Two hearts are beating together
I’m in love, I’m in love
Is this forever and ever
I’m in love, I’m in love

Two hearts are beating together
I’m in love, I’m in love
Is this forever and ever
I’m in love, I’m in love

I’m in love, I’m in love
Is this forever and ever
I’m in love, I’m in love
Two hearts…
