forever alone level 100

a picture of lonely men with their blowup dolls at the recent convention for losers. that one on the right looks impressively realistic. kidding.

the other dolls are called realdolls, and they start at $6,000. extra-priced options include freckles and she-male attachments. it’s important you visit the site [realdolls.com]

why do 30,007 people like rick santorum

it’s satisfying to know people have sent money to herman cain, michelle bachmann and rick perry and now that money is gone forever.

it’s embarrassing that a candidate is named buddy roemer, and he got less votes than people who said they don’t know who to vote for. (why even go to an election if you don’t know who to vote for?)

rick santorum fans are all hanging out here [spreadingsantorum.com]

tyson chandler is a warrior – just kidding

it’s not yet official, but the warriors are pursuing him hard. he would be on a roster with steph curry, monta ellis, tyson chandler and david lee. david lee isn’t all that great, but he’s at least reasonable. he went from 20/11 with the knicks to 16/10 with the warriors and those numbers will drop some more with chandler in the lane.

UPDATE: I think he’s going to be a knick.

steven patrick morrissey – POSTPONED

"Morrissey Young"

update: the morrissey show was postponed today because the drummer “suffered an eye injury”, which is code for steve recovering from getting hammered in the castro last night. details to follow

i’m getting to see morrissey play at the fox theater tonight with [frances]. the morrissey above is what i’m familiar with from his music videos.

but this is what i’m going to see tonight at oakland’s fox theatre.

have you used siri?

i haven’t, but i heard it’s pretty good.

finger on the trigger of our nuclear weapons

these people will have their finger on the trigger of our nuclear weapons if they win the election.*

i’m surprised i couldn’t find newt gingrich eating a corndog or three.

*fact check: it’s actually congress that decides that, but it’s a catchy first sentence, no?

but was this last night?

black holiday shoppers

i want a refund

ipad scale app

the ipad scale app didn’t work as I expected.

is pepper spray a fruit or vegetable?

is pepper spray a fruit or a vegetable

is pepper spray a vegetable? if it is, then it could satisfy the USDA requirements for providing a vegetable serving in our kid’s school lunches? our occupy protestors are getting their USDA suggested vegetable consumption for the day.

our majority leader republicans have classified the two tablespoons of tomato paste on a pizza as a vegetable, thus satisfying the vegetable serving requirement for children’s school lunches. the proposed requirement was 2 cups, but that adds cost to the pizzas used. the lobbyists of major food producers ConAgra and Schwans made sure that didn’t turn into law, since it would negatively impact their bottom line. the health and expanding waistlines of our children lose out to corporate profits again.

tom brier made my new ringtone

my favorite video game growing up. i found a copy for the mac, but haven’t got it running yet.

mr tom brier plays piano tunes ‘blind’, which means you can give him some sheet music and he’ll play it nearly perfectly the first time.
