After seeing those commercials of women going into orgasmic bliss (YES! YES! OH YES!) while using Herbal Essence shampoo, I decided to grab some today and see what effect it has on men, if any. I took a shower tonight, and it didn’t make me scream out “yes” multiple times, or shake my head in orgasmic convulsions, or any other interesting behavior.
However, I did find myself humping the walls.

Here’s proof that the KKK are still going after extremely stupid people. During an intiation ceremony (and I use that term loosely), a 45 year old moron fired a bullet into the air, which promptly came down out of the sky and hit the new blindfolded KKK member, a 24 year old moron, right in the head. Haven’t they heard of the fact, what goes up, must come down? Fortunately, the bullet made an exit out of the bottom of the skull. It’s a good thing his brain was so tiny, as he was able to survive.
The new KKK motto: Stupidity in large numbers.

Now here’s something you don’t hear everyday. An Indian man who claims divine inspiration says he has survived 68 years without eating, drinking or relieving himself, baffling doctors who are unable to prove him an imposter. 400 doctors put him under survellience for 10 days, and were baffled to see that he wouldn’t eat, drink, nor relieve himself in that time span. They can’t prove he has done it for 68 years, but if a man can go 10 days, that’s a feat in itself.
Divine or not, that is a personal hell for me. Good food and drink are the one constants in my life that brings happiness.

Natalie Maines, singer (and I use that term loosely) of Dixie Chicks, is still spewing and spouting about the war in Iraq and how we were misled, even though she and her group got boycotted, for stating that she’s ashamed that President Bush is from Texas. Okay, that in itself was one of those “WTF?” moments. I mean, Texas is a state, full of people, and she wants to lay down a stereotype of Texan that Texas equals BAD, EVIL, UGLY?
That wasn’t enough though, as she’s still going at it. Here’s a bit of her statements:
Though Maines apologized for the phrasing of her remark, some radio stations banned the group’s music. The group also received death threats in the wake of Maines’ comments.
Maines said Friday she did not feel vindicated by how the war has unfolded: “I would have liked to have been proven wrong.”
That’s right, she would’ve loved to have it before, whereas Iraqis still lived in terror, where justice wasn’t around, where women were treated like slaves and forbidden to do anything that American women take for granted. She wouldn’t be whining about the war if Saddam was still around, supporting terrorists, and have those terrorist kill thousands of people again. Women in Iraq can’t even voice out like she does their opinions, without being shot on sight or hunted like a dog. She doesn’t care about the opressed people around the world, all she cares about is making money singing what people seem to call “country music” although people like Boxcar Willie would laugh at the very notion.
Quite frankly, Maine hasn’t even be proven right, but she’ll go on believing she is, living in that little fantasy world of her’s. I love how she’s so anti-war, yet she doesn’t have an inkling of the amount of intelligence that the CIA and military has, regarding the situation in Iraq. She criticizes President Bush, yet she’s singing pop music, branding it as country. President Bush is making important decisions everyday while she’s writing about white trash weddings and men who won’t buy her rings. Good grief. Grow up, girl.

There’s a site with a Quicktime movie (streaming) that puts up a smear campaign against Apple’s iPod, largely regarded as the best hard-drive based MP3 player, no question asked. One of the biggest complaints about the iPod, and one of the few, is that the battery life is around 18 months, and when that happens, Apple will replace it for the same amount a brand new iPod would cost. In other word, you can’ just buy a spare rechargeable battery pack for like $40. That’s the price of a new separate battery pack would cost for my Canon S400 digital camera. I came close to getting an iPod a few times, but always held off, due to the battery issue, and also the price compared to competitors. Saw this bit on Boing Boing Blog.
SteveB lets me know in the comment that you can order a replacement battery at iPodBattery.com. Although I’ve heard that it voids the warranty that comes with the iPod, so keep that in mind.

First there was road rage, brought on by appalling stupid drivers that try to either kill you with their recklessness, or wither you into a shell of a human due to boredom. Now there’s spam rage, the affliction caused by trying to take advantage of a wonderful form of communication, to stay in touch with families and friends, business partners, and the world of information, only to be greeted by porn, organ enlargement pills, insurances, bogus sales, and multitudes of other “get rich quick” scams.
Imagine, if you will, that you were sitting at home at the dinner table, eating dinner with your wife and kids, when the phone rang and the person on the other line tells you your penis is too small and they have the answer to your problem. And they do this multiple times a day, every day, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. That would piss off anyone. Sure, we can hang up on them, and delete the email, but that won’t make them go away.
One man got fed up, and sent death threats to a Canadian internet company that supposedly sent this man countless spam emails, which they claim is the wrong company responsible for the spams.
Booher was arrested Thursday and is charged with making threatening interstate or foreign communications, a crime punishable by up to five years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine. U.S. Magistrate Judge Richard Seeborg of San Jose released him on a $75,000 bond. He is due back in court Dec. 11.
Clearly they are going after the wrong person. They should be going after the people who send spam, to prevent this kind of “rage” from happening. Clearly the man went overboard, and he’s clearly a stupid boob trying to act like a bigshot. Most death threats are just forms of uncontrolled rage that’ll never materialize. It’s a shame to see someone being burned at the stake like this, when it’s the wrong person on the wrong end of the witchhunt.
In related news, the Senate is working on a bill that’ll help take the fight to the spammers. It’s about time. Here’s hoping it’s harsh enough to be effective.

Police are warning all men who frequent clubs, party goers, and unsuspecting pub regulars to be alert & stay cautious when offered a drink from any woman. A date rape drug on the market called “beer” is used by many females to target unsuspecting men. The drug is generally found in liquid form and is now available almost anywhere. It comes in bottles, cans, from taps and in large “kegs.” “Beer” is used by female sexual predators at parties and bars to persuade their male victims to go home and have sex with them. Typically, a woman needs only to persuade a guy to consume a few units of”beer” and then simply ask him home for no-strings-attached sex. Men are rendered helpless against this approach. After several “beers” men will often succumb to desires to perform sexual acts on horrific looking women to whom they would never normally be attracted.
After drinking “beer” men often awaken with only hazy memories of exactly what happened to them the night before, often with just a vague feeling that something bad occurred. At other times these unfortunate men are swindled out of their life’s savings in a familiar scam known as “a relationship”. It has been reported that in extreme cases, the female may even be shrewd enough to entrap the unsuspecting male into a longer term form of servitude & punishment referred to as “marriage.” Apparently, men are much more susceptible to this scam after “beer” is administered and sex is offered by the predatory female.
