It's FROZEN!
I'm sitting here listening to "Seventeen" and thinking to myself, man, Winger is my fucking hero. Okay, not really, I just wondered what it would be like to say that, if only once.
You know, you don't look nauseated enough, so I'm going to talk about jerking off. Over the years, porn magazines have become less and less of a turnon. They just don't do much for me, which kinda sucks, because porn is pretty much all I'm ever going to have. It's hard to keep a decent stiffy, even with my Japanese schoolgirl fetish mags. Actually, those are even worse. Why? Sadly, because I find myself trying to read the stupid words. Not that there's much that I can read, but I can read bits and pieces. It just takes way too much mental effort to do that and maintain an erection at the same time. Men, as we all know, have a limited number of resources that we can allocate to our activities at any given time. It's a zero-sum game.
This sad state of affairs doesn't stop me from continuing to buy any of this shit, though. It's just kind of a collector thing now. Skin mags are becoming some kind of low-rent (and of course, low-class) art for me.
Just to kick it old school, I went back and re-familiarized myself with some old friends today. I decided to bust out some of my old issues of Mayfair, a great British magazine from Paul Raymond Publications. Paul Raymond is like the best human being ever, whether or not he's real. Mayfair and its sister publication Mayfair Model Directory (which I'm not sure if they're making anymore, which would be sad indeed) were just the fucking best. Simple, for sure; a bunch of hot chicks naked. That's usually all I'm looking for, at least in the magazine regime. I'm pretty easy to please. But yeah, it was nice to see something that's not chock full of nothing but shitty dye job platinum blondes and gigantic fucking fake tits. A nice mix of small breasts and larger breasts, blondes and brunettes with some redheads thrown in there, and many of them just bloody gorgeous. I might have to get a subscription to Mayfair, you know, for the art collection.
There are some others that PRP puts out, but they're mostly crap. As I recall, Razzle is TBA (to be avoided). The only reason we have some of those is because either ETP or I got some copies of it packaged with some other magazines we were buying.
Yes, "we." I wasn't planning on this being such an in-depth look at how fucking sad I am, but what the hell. You see, back in the day, ETP and I had a porn stash that we shared between the two of us. It was simply referred to as "The Library." It was somewhat legendary amongst the people we knew. We'd even let others check things out from the library; the only requirement you had to meet in order to get a library "card" was that you had to contribute something to the stash. We only got a couple of outside contributions, like from this one fucking kid who gave me a Jenny McCarthy poster in exchange for his membership. The poster giveaway had ulterior motives, though; this kid didn't want it anymore because, and I quote, he "wanted to be able to see a hot chick and still be able to get a boner." Like I said, the kid was a loser. TCFM.
Anyway, ETP and I had no qualms with The Library and sharing porno since the two of us are pretty much like brothers. Fucked up siblings, yeah, but whatever. Shit, I lived underneath ETP's penis for nine months freshman year of college (I took the lower bunk in the dorms), so neither of us had any issues with sharing issues of porn mags. Maybe we should have, but we didn't. Hey, we knew we could trust one another. If I, uh, misfired in the vicinity of a particular issue, I'd let him know what page to look out for. We're good like that. Besides, it's not like there was ever any circle jerk action going on. Sorry to disappoint, and not like anyone will believe it.
Yeah, you're welcome.

A private little war
So, something happened yesterday. I don't know what you'd call it, but it was something. I make fun of one nutjob who scans her food, and it spawns more posts and like 55 comments over two 'blogs. But, hey, it helped liven up an otherwise slow Friday. Sad that a virtual cockfight is "livening," but that's just how it goes. Regardless, I'm sure glad that's over with.
This 'blogging nonsense has turned into a beast that cannot be fed.
Then there was someone who, at least according to my traffic log last night, was here at Fe for eight hours at last count. Something's fucked up there, 'cause that isn't in my traffic log this morning. Hopefully it was some kind of Sitemeter bug, because someone spending that much time reading my crap is just not right. Either they really liked what they found here, or they were gathering evidence. They got here through Jennifer's site, so it looks like there's a decent chance that either Jennifer or her friends are even bigger losers than previously thought.
In other news, the sailor schoolgirl site is getting somewhat popular. Since we're talking about sailor schoolgirls, I probably don't need to tell you to be careful of this next link. I got some run from this porn link site, which has generated a decent amount of traffic. It's nice to be noticed. It'll be even nicer once I start hitting bandwidth caps, but I'm looking into, um, rectifying that situation.
Speaking of getting noticed, the sailor girl site is also generating a new class of spam.

I've gotten marginally sub-proficient with my California roll-making skills, but some people just have too much time on their hands. TCFM. Take for instance this girl, who made herself some kind of sushi roll and then SCANNED IT.
Also, what is it with some 'blogs that are seemingly nothing but online quizzes the blogger has wasted their life on? Which is, of course, a much less worthwhile endeavor than, say, wasting your entire life bitching about shit and collecting porn.

I didn't know Bush even knew the word. Like always, it's just a token effort made under pressure. You ever notice how TB, and just politicians in general, will never do the right thing unless if they're forced to? Of course you have; I was being rhetorical. Do you have to be such a cock about everything?
This is how politicians are, and we for some reason put up with it. We put up with lots of bullshit and corruption, which is just sad.

Yeah, it sucks, Colin. But you're the one who's allowed himself to be bent over and fucked up the ass anytime TB felt like it.
This is disgusting. It brings up so many questions that it makes my head spin. Why the fuck would someone do this? How the hell do they get away with this kind of shit for more than five seconds? Why is no one paying any fucking attention? How the fuck are they planning on cleaning that place up? What the hell is wrong with people?

Yay for freedom of expression. As the article touches upon, though, there's no such thing as bad publicity. This will only help get the word out, like when Fox sued Al Franken over his latest book. Still, it pisses me off. Disney has some bullshit line about how they're not "taking sides" in an election year, but how much would you be willing to bet that they'd never try to block distribution of something that's pro-Bush?
"It's not in the interest of any major corporation to be dragged into a highly charged partisan political battle."

So it looks like The Onion is now offering an online subscription service. As we all know, I'm - to put it charitably - inconsistent when it comes to spending money. I'll spend ungodly amounts on worthless pieces of plastic (except for the Girls - anyone calling them worthless is getting punched in the mouth), but I'll refuse to pay small fees for other things. Looking at the list of shit you can get access to for $30 a year, though, I'm seriously considering doing it. Besides, it's The Onion, and I usally don't have qualms giving money to people who deserve it.
This too is not funny, unless if you hate porn and/or enjoy seeing people in porn contracting HIV. I would imagine that Asscroft is pretty happy right about now.
I was desperately trying to find something funny to link to help put out the fires from that last post, but it's just not happening, so fuck it. Let's build on the theme instead.

More good news. I mean, it's good that we're keeping people over there as opposed to, uh, pulling out prematurely. I just hope nothing else goes wrong. But you know, you can hope all you want in one hand and shit in the other, and see which gets filled up first.
This whole Iraqi prisoner abuse thing is just super. We have soldiers accused of "egregious acts" and "grave breaches of international law." Jesus Christ, what the hell are they doing over there? Reviving Battle of the Network Stars?
Even more stellar is the inevitable parade of token measures being taken. Six soldiers have been reprimanded. Now, maybe in the military that's more serious than it sounds, but c'mon.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have changed this, trust us, we are doing this right."
Right. Miller said that U.S. personnel stopped using hoods and sleep depravation on Iraqi detainees four days ago. Yeah, only because they fucking felt they had to. And again, it's all token measures. It's not so much the hoods and sleep deprivation that are so awful, it's the sodomy and hooking up guys' nuts to a car battery that are really frowned upon.
We need to respond to this and not be pussies about it if we want to have any hope of saving some kind of face here, which probably isn't even possible. Remember the good ol' days when we were going to be greeted with a bed of roses and parades and cheering crowds because we were liberators? Man, was it ever great bullshitting ourselves like that. It's still better for people over there with Saddam out of power (at least, it had better fucking be), but it doesn't fucking help when we're perpetrating Saddam-like acts.

Slashdot always has some goofy or "irreverant" quote at the bottom of their page. Because, you know, Slashdot is cool. Here's one that just showed up for me:
What would your closest friend do ?
Yeah, this is probably not the best advice. My closest friend would probably do the exact same fucking thing as I would. ETP and I are pretty much one another's greatest enablers. Our entire friendship is pretty much one continuous string of us saying "Dude, do it" to one another. Of course, it's almost exclusively in the regime of shopping, but we all know that shopping is pretty much what my entire life has been about. Alone, we have no self control, and with the other encouraging us, it just snowballs. Again, not the cum spit back in your mouth after a blowjob kind of snowball. Usually.

I can get away with this because we hate the French over here
Hey, that's what you get for ordering your salad with French dressing.
It's a fresh wind that blows against the Empire...
Fuck Star Wars. That's my main motivation for the title of this post. There's no fresh wind here; maybe a stale breeze at best.
The main point of this post is to let people know that in addition to the http://bitterlittleman.blogspot.com address, this worthless piece of shit is now accessible via http://bitterlittleman.net or http://www.bitterlittleman.net. Like I said, the original URL still works, since I'm still hosting at blogspot and the new .net address is just a redirector. I've been thinking of moving the 'blog away from being hosted at blogspot.com, and thought this might be a decent way to make the transition a little easier when and if it does happen. Also, I wanted to snag the domain name before anyone else grabbed it seeing as how bitterlittleman.com was already taken.
Speaking of hosting services, I've been looking at LiveRack, which is where I went to purchase the domain name. They seem to have decent pricing, which is looking good both for the 'blog and maybe some other shit I'd like to host. Anyone had any experience with LiveRack? Or any other hosting services that you'd recommend?
But otherwise, yeah, there's nothing new here. Just that I'm the proud owner of a new domain name, which has me out twelve bucks for the privilege. Woo hoo for me. If anybody tries it out and it doesn't work, then it's probably just because the right info hasn't propagated to whatever DNS server you happen to be using, but it should all be good relatively soon (it's working for me at this point, so that's a start).

How the hell am I supposed to get a buzz on with only four kegs in the house?
That's pretty fucked up when four kegs per residence is being reasonable. For the record, I did not contribute at all to the University of Colorado's reputation because I was too busy upholding my reputation as a loser. In case we didn't already all know that.

No, I am not out looking for a schoolgirl uniform for myself. What would be the point in that? So I can hang it up in my closet and look at it and cry? And I'm certainly not going to be wearing it myself - that completely defeats the fucking purpose. I know we've been over this before.

Just some insight as to the kind of shit that goes on in my head:
I had an item on my eBay watchlist. Initially, I was pretty sure I wasn't going to bid on the item - a "Projections Barclay" Trek figure - since the seller had no feedback thus far. However, after putting it on my watchlist, the seller got some feedback. It was from an auction where they were the buyer; not really useful since I like seeing someone with a track record of sales. Anyway, the item that they won in the auction that got them their first positive feedback? A pair of shorts from a Brownie Scouts uniform. To me, only a child molester would buy such a thing off of eBay. So I removed the Barclay from my watchlist.

By ABBY GOODNOUGH
That has got to be the coolest name ever. Okay; on with mocking the X-tians.
Mr. Hovind, a former public school science teacher with his own ministry, Creation Science Evangelism...
Creation... Science. I don't even have to say anything to point out how funny that oxymoron is.
Among the products the park gift shop peddles are T-shirts with a small fish labeled "Darwin" getting gobbled by a bigger fish labeled "Truth."
First off, bonus for the the belittling use of "peddles." This reminds me of a bumper sticker that I see every now and then. As we all know, I hate bumper stickers, especially ones that have someone spouting their religious affiliation or their stupid personal opinions. The one I'm talking about, though, is always a treat. You may have seen it. It's the picture on this t-shirt, in fact. In addition to the picture there's a caption that reads "Survival of the fittest." Every time I see this sticker, I break out into a big ol' smile and yell "Thanks for reiterating one of our main points, fuckers!!!!"
"There are a lot of creationists that are really smart and debate the intellectuals, but the kids are bored after five minutes," said Mr. Hovind, who looks boyish at 51 and talks fast. "You're missing 98 percent of the population if you only go the intellectual route."
It's like the guy is trying to write my jokes for me.
Creationist groups are also promoting creationist vacations...
Holy shit what a good idea. "Hey honey, it's time for us to take a vacation." "Great, where to? Hawaii? Europe? A cruise?" "Oh, heck no. Nothing that dull and uninteresting." "What?! What do you have in mind?" "A creationist vacation! Isn't that swell?"
Ken Ham, the group's chief executive, said marketing surveys suggested that the complex would draw not just home-schooling families...
A core audience of this nonsense is home-schooling families. There's a shocker.
The complex will open in 2006 at the earliest, Mr. Ham said.
I want to go. Dead fucking serious. Who's in?
"This is clearly not possible. The top of the Grand Canyon is 4,000 feet higher than where the river enters the canyon! Rivers do not flow up hill!"
That's riiight...
The spiritual lesson, according to Mr. Johnson: "You need to learn to be coordinated for Jesus Christ so you can get more things done for him."
Yeah, Jesus is fucking PISSED that you aren't pulling your weight around here. He's turning fucking water into wine and healing the sick while you're sitting there on your knees looking like you're waiting for someone to put a dick in your mouth.
Eugenie Scott, executive director of the National Center for Science Education, which tracks creationist programs, said traditional creationists like Mr. Hovind had in fact given up on building intellectual credibility years ago.
Kinda says it all, doesn't it?
Just last week Internal Revenue Service agents used a search warrant to remove financial documents from Mr. Hovind's home and offices, saying he was not paying taxes and had neither a business license nor tax-exempt status for his enterprises.
A story like this just wouldn't be complete without some good ol' fashioned corruption...
Mr. Hovind said he gave 700 lectures a year and that 38,000 people had visited his park, at $7 a head.
... Or some exploitation of religion for profit.
According to a map that invites visitors to pinpoint their hometown, most come from the Florida Panhandle and from Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee.
Raise your hand if this surprises you. Hmmm... I see no hands.
But they and the Passmores, who traveled from Alabama with eight minivans of like-minded families...
I always thought there were only four horsemen.
Okay, on a more serious note, this article brings to light all sorts of reasons why religion scares me. Now, I'll preface this by saying that I do fully realize that there are a lot of people out there who don't take the Bibleseriously literally. Those people have at least that much going for them. However, there are plenty of people who take the Bible at near or total face value, buying into all those goofy ghost and animal stories. It all reminds me of other mythologies, which were all clearly borne out of a need and a desire to explain the unexplainable. We don't know why volcanoes erupt, so there must be some big angry being up in the sky. We don't know why we have lightning so it must be a god up above hurling it down upon humanity. We can't explain why this canyon is here, so we'll just say it was a great Biblical flood. Oh, except that we can explain it; you know, that whole "water runs up hill" thing. It's all so stupid and childish. We don't need a lot of things explained anymore because we have science - real science - to give us some answers.
That brings me to a second point. The mindless acceptance of shit that flies in the face of things that even some of the more rational and logical religious folk believe. Now, look. I'm not saying that science is flawless, because it isn't. I'm not saying that science hasn't been manipulated, because it has. I'm not saying that scientific findings haven't been abused, because they have. But science is at least a process, one that (in theory) involves research and thought as opposed to just listening to something someone told you that came out of a book whose origins we have no real clue about.
Thoreau once said something along the lines of "It's okay to build your castles in the air; now put foundations under them." Religion is all about those castles in the air, but unlike science and rational thought, there is no desire to build those foundations.

That has got to be the coolest name ever. Okay; on with mocking the X-tians.
Mr. Hovind, a former public school science teacher with his own ministry, Creation Science Evangelism...
Creation... Science. I don't even have to say anything to point out how funny that oxymoron is.
Among the products the park gift shop peddles are T-shirts with a small fish labeled "Darwin" getting gobbled by a bigger fish labeled "Truth."
First off, bonus for the the belittling use of "peddles." This reminds me of a bumper sticker that I see every now and then. As we all know, I hate bumper stickers, especially ones that have someone spouting their religious affiliation or their stupid personal opinions. The one I'm talking about, though, is always a treat. You may have seen it. It's the picture on this t-shirt, in fact. In addition to the picture there's a caption that reads "Survival of the fittest." Every time I see this sticker, I break out into a big ol' smile and yell "Thanks for reiterating one of our main points, fuckers!!!!"
"There are a lot of creationists that are really smart and debate the intellectuals, but the kids are bored after five minutes," said Mr. Hovind, who looks boyish at 51 and talks fast. "You're missing 98 percent of the population if you only go the intellectual route."
It's like the guy is trying to write my jokes for me.
Creationist groups are also promoting creationist vacations...
Holy shit what a good idea. "Hey honey, it's time for us to take a vacation." "Great, where to? Hawaii? Europe? A cruise?" "Oh, heck no. Nothing that dull and uninteresting." "What?! What do you have in mind?" "A creationist vacation! Isn't that swell?"
Ken Ham, the group's chief executive, said marketing surveys suggested that the complex would draw not just home-schooling families...
A core audience of this nonsense is home-schooling families. There's a shocker.
The complex will open in 2006 at the earliest, Mr. Ham said.
I want to go. Dead fucking serious. Who's in?
"This is clearly not possible. The top of the Grand Canyon is 4,000 feet higher than where the river enters the canyon! Rivers do not flow up hill!"
That's riiight...
The spiritual lesson, according to Mr. Johnson: "You need to learn to be coordinated for Jesus Christ so you can get more things done for him."
Yeah, Jesus is fucking PISSED that you aren't pulling your weight around here. He's turning fucking water into wine and healing the sick while you're sitting there on your knees looking like you're waiting for someone to put a dick in your mouth.
Eugenie Scott, executive director of the National Center for Science Education, which tracks creationist programs, said traditional creationists like Mr. Hovind had in fact given up on building intellectual credibility years ago.
Kinda says it all, doesn't it?
Just last week Internal Revenue Service agents used a search warrant to remove financial documents from Mr. Hovind's home and offices, saying he was not paying taxes and had neither a business license nor tax-exempt status for his enterprises.
A story like this just wouldn't be complete without some good ol' fashioned corruption...
Mr. Hovind said he gave 700 lectures a year and that 38,000 people had visited his park, at $7 a head.
... Or some exploitation of religion for profit.
According to a map that invites visitors to pinpoint their hometown, most come from the Florida Panhandle and from Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee.
Raise your hand if this surprises you. Hmmm... I see no hands.
But they and the Passmores, who traveled from Alabama with eight minivans of like-minded families...
I always thought there were only four horsemen.
