I don't do irony

About Me

..I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, long foreplay, show tunes, and that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap."I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, I believe that there oughtta be a constitutional amendment outlawing astro-turf and the designated hitter, I believe in the "sweet spot", voting every election, soft core pornography, chocolate chip cookies, opening your presents on Christmas morning rather than Christmas eve, and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last for 3 days."

Back in black...

Welcome to 2005, my droogies. Personally, I'm well rid of 2004. Apart from the last month or so of that fetid and repulsive year I've got naught good to say about it. Naturally, I've taken out some of...

It's December, and I'm talking out of my butt again...

Not really, but wouldn't that be cool if I could do it? I could probably quit my job and tour the world with a freak show. STEP RIGHT UP! SEE THE MAN WITH A TALKING SPHINCTER!!! Maybe not. Anyway, man...

Assorted ramblings...

What does Van Halen have to do with G.W. Bush?

I've quoted from an email from Eddie Spaghetti at The Weak In Rock today. Eddie does a good job of explaining why G.W. Bush is the Gary Cherone of the GOP. I'm also having fun with the new ads on my ...

Luminous batshit evil...

How many Bush administration officials does it take to change a light bulb?

None. Theres nothing wrong with that light bulb. There is no need to change anything. We made the right decision and nothing has happened to change our minds. People who criticize this light bulb now...

Should I really post in two places?...

I've updated The Weak In Rock once again, and I'm torn as to whether or not I should post a fragment here when I do a new blog, just post the link over and over again, as I have been doing, or write s...

Presidential debates and other matters of state...

I've posted a few new blogs on The Weak In Rock in the past couple of days and just realized I hadn't posted any of it here. So, go check out the site. Mostly I've been prattling on about the Bus...

Another chicken vs. egg puzzle...

Someone is bound to make fun of me for this, in one of those, "oh my god, are you really so dense that you just heard about this," or "um, dude, that's like so forty years ago," sort of moments that I...
