Science vs. Religion: The Moon

23-Apr-09

I live in Texas, I know these people are out there, surrounding me, just waiting for the chance to bash my atheistic brains in… But come on! The Waco Tribune covered a guest lecture gig that Bill Nye the Science Guy did in Waco in 2006. He talked about life on Mars, Global Climate Change […]

Crazy Texas Laws

21-Apr-09

Because I’m a politics geek, and because I live in Texas, and because Texas has some weird-ass laws, here’s a list of some of the crazier ones. There are many many more out there. Now, you need to remember that these aren’t enforced for the most part… BUT THEY CAN BE. In Austin, it’s illegal […]

It’s nice to see political mockery is alive and well in Texas.

21-Apr-09

It’s no secret that I dislike my governor. Rick Perry has been a horrible governor for Texas and just keeps getting worse. There were a couple of corruption stories about him, but they have faded into obscurity. Anyway, I’m sure you’ve all seen him recently. He’s the douche bag who stood up at a San […]

Book vs. Movie: Let The Right One In.

20-Apr-09

Books that get adapted for the silver screen usually get a bum deal. Books that are written based on a movie are even worse off. Let’s look at how Let The Right One In faired. I read John Ajvide Lindqvist’s novel before I watched Tomas Alfredson’s movie. I do this with most the books that […]

WordPress RSS feeds are the devil

16-Apr-09

An hour ago, Mike mentioned wanting to link to a post on a FaceBook profile he’s about to create. The context of his question was such that it had nothing to do with where I took it. Mike wanted to know if anyone would be annoyed because the Basement is looking a little shabby at […]

Let’s Tea-Bag, Baby!

15-Apr-09

Urban Dictionary defines Tea-Bagging as: To dunk ones scrotum into the open mouth of another person Usage: “Man, Brenda was all passed out with her mouth open and Billy tea-bagged her” Tea-Bagging is also what the fake grass roots movement of the Far Right is calling their protest this tax day over President Obama’s administration. […]

Disney: Full of Laziness

15-Apr-09

Disney’s cartoons from the 70s were great. My favorite cartoon growing up was Robin Hood with the animal characters. I watched it until I wore out the tape. Then, a few years ago when I was all growed up, I got it on DVD. Today, I found this gem through the Magic Of The Internets. […]

Update to Social Networking Bullshit

14-Apr-09

I remembered the analogy I wanted to make about MySpace. MySpace is this generation’s version of Geocities. Just set the font color to red and background to black, slap a midi file of “Video Killed The Radio Star” up there, and let the mid-90s websites roll over you like waves of angst filled teenage memories.

Social Networking Sites Are Bullshit

14-Apr-09

There. I said it. Oh, they were alright back when Tribes was good for getting laid and you could be emo before emo was a word on LiveJournal, but these days? Not so much. Sure, there are some out there that serve an actual purpose like LinkedIn, but for the most part? Bullshit. But here’s […]

Continuing the Zombie Theme…

13-Apr-09

I just got home from running a table top role playing game where a group of people have to survive a zombie outbreak. Currently, they’ve foolishly chosen to help others who were trapped in their homes when the zombies attacked, and now they have a group of 70 survivors they can’t feed or protect. Bad […]
