Mel Gibson partying in Malibu.

I wish people would realise that I'm compiling information not for my own private use or delight, but rather because someone else needs it. So you can't guilt trip me out of it, or wheedle your way around. Because I'm not going to pass it on.

Ok, those pictures have me cracking up.

Drunk ass.

Holy carp but he looks shitfaced.

That cannonball dude sounds like he needs to call a military academy. Or maybe just Anapolis. They've got this thing where the plebes (cadets? I don't know my proper terms) scramble up this lard slathered column to try and get a hat off the top. All at the same time. It's....gross. But they'd be practiced in slippery!

The God of the Old Testament is a petty tyrant: selfish, impulsive, and irritable. He’s a psychopath who torments, tortures and kills without the slightest guilt, if that is what is necessary to extend his influence.

I think that's an inaccurate view of the God of the OT. Not to mention simplistic, almost a caricature.

Motherfucker. I shouldn't have left "early." I had to wait 20 fucking minutes for a train I could get into, when usually it's empty at my stop. They said it was some energy issue or some shit, but they seemed to be running OK, even the empty out of service train that came by. Then my second train was running fine, except I got in the car with no AC.

THEN I went to Baskin Robbins, and they only had 16 flavors! I'm assuming that was an energy-saving tactic.

Oh, grrr, Jesse. It bites, getting punished for leaving early like that.

As a former Baskin-Robbins employee, I'd like to apologize to you for the 15-flavor deficit, on behalf of the entire company.

Now I think I need to go downstairs and get some ice cream from our cafeteria (home of 3 flavors).

I'm also generally annoyed because NYPIRG has been putting out these "report cards" for the subway lines, and of the two (sets of) lines I take to work, one is near the top and one is near the bottom, and somehow it's the "top rated" line that fucks me up getting to work more days than not. Fucking fuck. Just because they have the new cars does not mean they get me to work any faster!

GRRRRR.

I think maybe I need to go sit in front of the AC now.

Timelies all!

Happy Anniversary Joe and Aimee!

Today was a good day for swimming laps. Man, the weather's nasty here...

"When somebody asks you if you're a god, you say -- YES!"

(For all values of powerful = god. Not including marshmallows.)

The sanctioned version isn't always the right one.

This is especially true if you are talking about Kiss Me Deadly, which only went out with its foreshortened ending because the last bit of footage was misplaced. But the foreshortened ending is so shocking and awesome and cool, and really deserves to be the real ending, so when they found the last bit of footage 50 years later it was a huge letdown and became apocrypha by movie-critic acclamation. (Luckily, the director was already dead.)
