Spam is bad but this is worse
Ok so I accept spam as a necessary evil to being on the internet, fine. I don't even mind the porn spam with chicks drowning in jiz while being serviced by midget aliens. Some are quite well done, graphically speaking anyhow, these spammers at least know how to use Photoshop well.

What I can't accept, understand or tolerate is poorly spelled or totally grammatically incorrect spam. Yeah I know I spell like ass but seriously if your going to waste my time and bandwith, run the shit through spellcheck for the love of christ!

Take some of these fine examples I have been saving.



"Now get 5% Cah Back form America" - Thank god I can get some Cah back form America whatever the fuck that is.



"Weicht Loss Patch, Easy, Discreet and Saf" - Well if its not Saf why bother.



"Make $5000 form in your frist month" - What's with the forms, do i have to fill them out? Will I still get my frist if I fill them out incorrectly?



Never befor snne Youne hot women are in the place you wasnt to seen - What kind of crack smoking, well you get the point.



Oh there is more but I don't have the energy to copy and past them all. Thats all for now.

Anyone see my pants?

I just noticed



You can post a bunch of shit on this thing in a row, and then never check the page for a couple days and its amazing what you post when your not paying attention. Like this for example. I'll see this in say, a week, and I'll be like "WOA I posted that, Friggin cool!" Or "I'm a dumb-ass" Same thing.

Survivor Amazon
Its guys against the girls, which I think is bad news for the guys. Not that I'm like some sissy ... Anyhow I have a feeling that that chicks find their way to the top, they are not only more evolved then men but its been proven time and again, look at the last couple survivor shows, Women triumph. Yeah they will get their ass kicked on the Anaconda press and the climbing large tree challenges, but I think the women will kick ass on the diaper changing portion of the show... Maybe not. I still want to see Survivor Troy
16 people try to find a decent apartment in troy that does not have cockroaches. Once they do that the challenges all have to do with navigating the endless one way streets and shitty coffee shops that nobody goes too. It all ends with them escaping Troy to the paradise that is Waterveliet as a nuclear bomb blows up both cities as the surrounding areas rejoice.

Konfabulator
Remember back in the old days of OS8-9 or so, you could make your Mac look and do just about anything. There was always SOME hack that you could put in your machine, some extension that delivered some enhancement or feature that made your life better in some strange way. OSX did away with all that, because along with the little widgets such as Zipple and Before Dark came instability.
Now along comes Konfabulator, stable as far as I can tell, and truly a welcome addition to a Non-Customizable Operating system. Yeah!

My Valentines day poem courtesy of The Dialectizer


ah thank God he sent yo' t'me,
Fo' yo' an' ah were meant t'be.
We haf a bond too strong t'bust,
We haf a love no one kin take.
In yo', ah have foun' a love so true,
Mah heart is filled wif love fo' yo'.
Ev'ry time ah see yo', mah heart skips a beat,
Yo' make mah life whole, yo' make mah life complete.
Mah love fo' yo' grows mo'e wif etch passin' day,
Th' thunk of yer go'geous face takes mah breath away:
Them brown eyes fill mah soul wif happiness,
Them luscious lips ah love t'kiss.
Th' day when ah become yer wife,
Will be th' happiess day of mah life.
Even reckonin' of thet day makes me smile,
ah cain't wait 'till ah walk down thet aisle.
ah dream of thet day when we'll both say, "ah do"
Fo' allus an' fo'evah... ah will love yo'.

Comments don't work! Don't bother.

My first experience with IBM Via Voice, Lets take a look:

The Declaration of Independence as read by Bill Susie using the a police by IBM.

Went in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which still walls of nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, but they are endowed by their creator with certain in unalienable right side, that among these are Life, Liberty in pursuit of happiness. That is securities rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the People to alter or abolish it, and institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established not be changed for light and transient causes: and accordingly all experience hath Shun and, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are separable, then to write some self to abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when one train of abuses and concert patience, pursuing in valuable and same objective evidence of design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such current, and to apply new guards for their future security. Such is been the patient sufferance of these Colonies:and such is not necessary which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain towards the Third is a history of repeated injuries and an answer patients, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To provide this lets fax be submitted to a candid world.

This latest beta includes, well, a ton of changes. See the change notes for the complete list. [Ranchero]

People can make ebay suck

So this past xmas I decide to get a gag gift for a friend, a sega NFL 95 game. To bring back the old feelings of joy from a game that brought us both pleasure and pain. I can show you the scars on my hand from punching many a door in defeat. Off to ebay I go of course "someone" will have it for sale. Sure enough, intermixed with bobble head Bob Costas dolls was the coveted game. $5. Easy. So I win the auction go to pay for it and paypal gave me the finger and says the user does not exist. Fine I'll wait for the guy to contact me. After all its Christmas and I have better things to do and have a very short attention span. So anyhow, what was I talking about? Bob Costas? No. Oh yeah the friggen game. ebay. Something.

So weeks past and I get an angry email from the guy that I reneged on the auction. Is that a word? Ok yeah so I did. Sorry I was busy and could care less about his stupid $5 game he can shove up his ass for all I care. For christ sake its not like is was an original copy of the Declaration of Independence or and authentic Whoppie Goldberg Inflatable raft. So the guy is all pissed at me and I basically tell him that I'm sorry but it was a busy holiday and I'm a very busy/bored/drunk man.

So to make a long story short I'm getting these email's from ebay telling me that I should pay my seller and I'm getting a warning and I'm the cause for Small Pox in a small town in bangladesh. So i send this guy another email asking to "let it die I will send you the $5"

He in turn says he is trying to get his money back for the commission paid to ebay. Now how much could that be? 30 or 40 CENTS tops!!! I told him I would send him some empties he can bring to the local recycler and get his money. What a dumb-ass. I know that this whole ebay thing has become a lifestyle and livelihood for all of those who can't get the night shift at the local McDonalds and I understand that the legitimacy of this "business" ranks up there with "guy who gives stickers out at WalMart" and possibly "Senior tire scrubber" at the local car wash, but to loose your mind over the commission paid to ebay over a "reneged" $5 auction has to rank up there with the top 10 reasons why people should, as Scooby would put it, "shit in their hand and sniff it"

God bless america!

New iMacs today, A lot of peoplre say "so what", but I think there is a lot that is compelling about it. I would love to talk more about it but on fear factor tonight, yeah a few programs I watch, its ALL GIRL Fear Factor, I must say they must spring for boob jobs with these women, and god bless them for that. Back to the iMac, its has a Microphone in port now, which is cool and you HAVE to see the blond holey cow she is jumping up and down and Oh yeah there they switched the ports the USB on the 17in is on the right and they are blue tooth and greentooth and all that. I still think the silicon on Fear Factor is much more compelling, no matter what you say.

The Space Shuttle is down!
From CNN "The space shuttle Columbia broke up today as it descended over central Texas toward a planned landing at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Seven crew members were aboard. A Bush administration spokesman said the shuttle's altitude -- over 200,000 feet -- made it "highly unlikely" that the shuttle fell victim to a terrorist act. "

What a horrible thingâ?¦ Just horrible.
It was one of the oldest in the fleet, I think it first took off in 1981.

My prayers are will those associated with the shuttle.
