Long Beach’s Wilson High School Stops Hateful Westboro Baptist Church – FTW!

February 19th, 2010 · No Comments

Great posting over at LBPost.com showing all the High Schoolers at Long Beach’s Wilson HS protesting against the hateful Westboro Baptist Church (you know, the God Hates Fags people).  I’m proud of the youth in America today and I’m proud at the power of technology to spread the word of how to fight these people.  [...]

Modern Rambo

April 17th, 2008 · No Comments

As I stood outside smoking my cancer stick, a homeless man walked past.  Being polite, I gave him a head nod and he responded by saying, “I’m a modern Rambo,” in a deep voice sounding like he had just gargled with Hydrogen Peroxide and razor blades.  What does one say to this?  I gave him [...]

Crappy New Law Proposal of the Day

March 10th, 2008 · No Comments

According to Lexington, Kentucky’s Action News ABC 36, WTVQ, Kentucky Representative Tim Couch filed a bill this week to make anonymous posting online illegal. What a load of bull this is.

Looff Skillz

March 10th, 2008 · 1 Comment

As Tyson described, “Looff’s Lite-a-Line is about as much fun as a getting a root canal by a dentist with ms.” Billy thought it was, “As much fun as watching Helen Keeler conduct the New York Symphony.” Obviously, they missed something. Looff’s Lite-a-Line – a game of skill™, is like if bingo was stepping out [...]
