You know what? Yes, this looks cool, right? But, tonight as I rode the train home from work, sweating, tired, worn down, reading my now filthy book about Afghanistan, the conductor came on. He sounded more tired. "We're skipping stops, people. 138, then 164. For bypassed stations, get off at 138 and wait for the train directly behind this one." Amazingly, he wasn't lying this time. "[Pause] Tell the people with headphones on."

I couldn't believe my ears. Is it my civic duty to tell these people that we may be skipping their stop? Okay, okay. There were no 1) pretty girls not dressed likes tramps 2) grizzled old Eastern European men 3) tired looking dishwashers around me, so I put my nose back in my book and learned about the failure of nation-building by a capitalist society that bleeds money when it could be using it.

But I'm just saying. Please don't dress/act like an imbecile, or have really shitty music coming from your iPod, because you're going the wrong way.

NY, bitches! [putting my fronts in]

But seriously. What's up with that? This is our future? In Space 1999, motherfuckers paid attention. Hello? Andrew? Yeah. Hi. We're going into a sun. Thought you might like to stare disinterestedly at this monitor with us.

Yes! The Prodigy! (That reminds me: you should check out my show archive from last week if you haven't yet. There's some Prodigy in there, too.)

Speaking of shows... Can your next show please be a Brit-pop show, with some Republica and Blur and other stuff? And, if so, can you please bop around like the girl in that Republica video?

That Spaceghost clip is wonderful. In fact all the clips were wonderful... perhaps my favorite single batch to date.

I might have to start a new blog just to comment on all of these videos.

Fun with god is, without a doubt, the most brilliant thing that I have seen in a long time.

And Jesus I had a crush on that girl from Republica, I think she was my rebound crush after the girl from Elastica.

Ryan, I suppose you gave up on Justine Frischmann (of Elastica) once you realized that SHE'S MINE.

Oy. I'm getting myself buried in adventure games all the sudden. Lure of the Temptress and Beneath a Steel Sky are both freeware....

Actually, I'm just now checking out Secret of Monkey Island. First impression is pretty positive so far. SCUMM has a right click feature that utilizes an appropriate verb, which is cool. Anybody know if Maniac Mansion does the same thing?

But I'm stuck. I have one piece of eight (out of the hundreds I need to buy anything), I've talked to everyone I can find, and now.... I dunno. Does my guy ever sleep? What now?

No idea. I never played that one. Only adventure games I played were the Robin Hood one Sierra made and one of the King's Quest ones until I got stuck.

Love that you hid my favorite Muppet Show episode in there among the porn. :)

Lin Swimmer said...

Ha, I was wondering if you'd come around and catch it.

Are these really pornographic? They're on YouTube, after all. It's just a girl licking glass. Maybe she's cleaning? Eh? Yeah. Just tidying up. A lot. In that one spot. Slowly.
