Mostly Harmless

BB3: Tonya, busty Tonya, is out. Whiner Josh is in. Roddy is HOH. Amy and Marcellas are on the chopping block. Amy is preparing to pack her bags.

AI: AJ is out, thank God. RJ should be next, though it could be Ryan if she doesn’t get her act together. Christina needs to knock it the hell off with the vibrato, and soon. Nikki was much better this round but I doubt she’ll win, though I do like her voice. Tamyra and Justin have the whole “stage presence” thing all worked out, and can also sing, so they’ll sail through the next few rounds easily, most likely. My fave is Kelly Clarkson, she’s the only humble one left (with talent) in the whole show, plus she killed with “Natural Woman.”

Dog Eat Dog: The Dog Pound finally won! Plus, strip football! I love it when they pick hot chicks who can’t throw.

Actual news: Those miners got rescued, which is amazing, ‘cuz I thought those guys were goners. I’m adding “coal miner” to my list of jobs I don’t ever want. After seeing K-19 I also don’t want the job of “Mr. Radioactive” on a nuclear Russian sub in 1962.

Happy Buttocks, Sandy Birthday!

A number of months ago I bet Cavedog $5 that my PowerBook G3 had liquid cooling, but I couldn’t find any references to it at the time.

I accept: cash, checks, visa, discover, amex, mastercard, and paypal.

While I’m in a posting frenzy I should mention that the stun gun and pepper spray emporium is now open over at Yahoo!

The shopping cart back-end is much nicer than the one at the old site… which means nothing much without traffic. Gotta work on that.

One of the Big Brother house guests said that the producers were looking for “whores” this season, and that’s what they got.

I tend to agree.

The first season everyone took showers in their bathing suits, and if anyone temporarily forgot about the cameras and got naked the video feed would cut away.

This year we have women who shower together and make shaving cream bikinis (to the delight of the male house guests watching), sunbathe bare-ass nekkid, and stick flowers to their breasts with peanut butter. All the while the internet feeds are _not_ cutting away.

This is, of course, all good.

I don’t have a subscription to the feed, even though the RealOne beta for OS X is out now, because 24×7 streaming video is even more of a time-sucking vortex than Usenet news.

I’ll just check the updates occasionally and wait for the inevitable pictorial from Mr. Hefner.
