Hard Times
not new, not improved
Well did you miss me? Hope you've all been well since we last stole links from each other. I've had a very busy year, what with losing a job, getting a job, doing the daily crap that everyone has to do, yadda yadda. For some reason this week felt like the week to get the times back on the bandwidth, so here I am. I know you're gonna miss the annoying Geoshitties ads, but get over it already. Based on my 30 minutes of experience, Blog*Spot Plus looks like a good thing.....I'll keep ya posted. Now on with the show!



If it seems like I've dropped off the face of the earth, it's cause I've been playtesting this hugely addictive game that is coming out soon. They have a NDA, so I'm not going to say much about it, but I promise to tell you about it and shamelessly kiss Will Wright's ass on here once I can go public. (Oops did I give it away?)


Blogger got hacked Friday, looks like they've recovered though. They have a little blurb about it on their status page.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MOOKIE MAN!! Sorry Lizzie G. can't make the party, dude.


Atkins update - eating pepperoni for breakfast is healthier than being overweight. Woohoo!


What Indian women want in a man ... a virgin who's good in the sack? Okee dokee. The whole sober thing knocks me out of the running. Maybe this helps explain all the Indian guys in Yahoo chat chasing American women.


Charlotte has one of the few gay gun-totin' pagan Libertarian candidates for Congress in the upcoming elections. His religion is actually pretty cool, they worship the Norse gods. Hail Thor! See ya in Valhalla!


Sex toy update - I used to live down in Columbus, Tim Chitwood is pretty funny.


When you gotta go you gotta go, but this is ridiculous.


Female inmate beauty contest!! Fox TV, are you listening? It's in Lithuania.....I wonder if they replaced the swimsuit competition with a mustache contest.


You'll probably be as shocked as I was to learn that Microsoft twisted the truth a little in their "reverse switch" ad!


Family pet taken out by friendly fire. I don't think it's a coincidence that the instructor is named Col. Jack Daniel.


They found another use for duct tape......I just wonder how they figured this out.


I got 3 gaming articles from Slashdot today - oddly enough, women aren't lining up the way men are to pretend they're Lara Croft. Maybe if there was a Larry Croft? Count me in the aging gamers group....I started playing The Bard's Tale back in 1988 and I've never looked back. Hopefully I won't end up like this Korean guy. They don't say if he was playing Evercrack or not, but that'd be my first guess.


France has a new porn tax. Who pays for porn anyway? They deserve to be taxed. Steal it or make your own like the rest of us.


This place will do a custom wedding toast for you, but it costs money. Spend that money on booze instead and you're pretty much guaranteed a more memorable toast. How about "Take it from me, they're both awesome in the sack!"? That one's free. You're welcome.


Mmmmmm....lemony fresh!!


I knew it was just a matter of time....this morning the Today Show showed some CounterStrike screen shots during a story about the DC sniper, linking the crimes to violent PC games. My first thought when I heard about the shootings was, "definitely an AWP whore".


For the record, Sponge Bob is not gay.... I don't think. Sure he's popular with gay people, but he's also popular with drunk people, stoned people, and bored people. So lay off!


We're fatter than we think. How the hell do they know what we think? Personally I've been doing my part by losing 20 pounds on the Atkins "Sure to Kill You!" Diet. Since I'm gonna die anyway one of these days, I'll take bacon and steak over yogurt and Special K while I'm waiting.
