I just received spam from... Myself. I got a spam that was sent from my Hotmail account (which I give out publicly) to my old school account (which is my main account and I do not give out publicly). Can someone explain how this is possible? Sounds like someone may have somehow gotten into the info on my Hotmail account, otherwise I don't see how they would have known to send e-mail to my other address. If any of the few people who I communicate with via that Hotmail address gets spam that appears to be coming from me, let me know. I can assure you that I'm not willingly spamming anyone. I'm an asshole, for sure, but I'm not an asshole.
I don't watch a lot of gay porn, but I'm pretty sure that Will and Grace and Queer Eye are far from "sizzling gay-on-gay action."

I still don't like the feel and the motivation of the recent "gay explosion" just because it seems so hollow and it's clearly just an attempt at making money. Like I've said before, our friend mainstream America is all for some gay jokes and reality TV bullshit, but when it comes to two guys making out, they're all like "EWWWWW!!!!" And you know, it's okay if you don't like watching men make out with men or women get it on with other women. Shit, I don't really like seeing straight people making out. Not liking or being turned on by something is one thing; saying regular people should be denied rights just because of who they are is an entirely different thing.

Attitudes do at least seem to be changing. Even if the gay craze is exploitative, at least there's the beginnings of some kind of comfort level. If nothing else, it has led to some decent TV, like Queer Eye, which is a pretty fucking good show. I don't even give a shit if they're gay or straight; they're just five fucking cool guy who are fun to watch. It has also led to some bad TV, like Will and Grace, which is fucking terrible. Also, we do seem to have an attitude shift if at least some people are not just pushing for gay marriage but actually doing something about it, like in San Francisco. Yes, it's all very small-scale, but like I was saying earlier, it's got to start somewhere.

I guess another thing that worries me is that attitudes aren't necessarily shifting, they're just further polarizing. But as polarization continues, at least some voices are getting louder. Unfortunately, that includes the voices of the ignorant. But, like always, it's not so much ignorant voices that bother me - you can say whatever stupid shit you want. After all, that's what free (as in speech) speech is all about. It's the ignorant actions that piss me off, and we're at least seeing some reaction to that ignorance. Like always, here's to seeing more and more of that positive reaction as time goes on.
Also, for those who haven't been keeping up, there have been occasional sailor schoolgirl updates. Depending on if it's showing up in your browser or not, you may or may not have noticed a new super-pretentious feature: in addition to the romanized names for us gai-jin, I've also started putting each model's name in Japanese. This is not any sort of attempt to show off my Japanese skills, since I have none, but to show off my nerd skills in figuring out how to get Japanese text both into web pages. This also had a bonus side effect of figuring out how to input Japanese text into web forms and shit, which should really help to curb my shopping issues over at Amazon.co.jp. Also, I'm curious as to whether or not this can help generate search engine-based hits.

For anyone who cares, and I know there are so many of you out there, listed below are a few resources I came across for dealing with the Japanese language under Linux. The programs/utilities I ended up using are canna for the conversion server, kinput2 for (cleverly) inputting shit for canna to handle, vim for text editing, and kterm as a Japanese-language capable terminal emulator.

Some people are so fucking retarded that just by coming here, they're dumbing down my site. And that's saying something. Some more search engine examples:

Yuna's 100% Big titties

It's not just the fact that someone is once again looking for Yuna naked, which I don't see how they expect to find unless it's shitty fan art, it's how this one was phrased.

wives who do everything except fuck other men

I hate guys.
The abortion debate rages on.

"The Justice Department says it needs to review medical records to examine whether the abortions are ever medically needed."

I still can't imagine why this procedure would ever be performed if it wasn't medically needed.
Oh, so it's March Madness. There are few things I could give less than a fuck about than college basketball. God, I hate basketball. Nothing but a bunch of guys running up and down the floor over and over again with those squeaky fucking shoes. I can't wait until this stupid basketball bullshit is over so that the second airing of JFR's show stops getting preempted by college basketball or, even worse, high school basketball. If you're into prep sports, please, do us all a favor and shoot yourself. In fact, if you consider yourself a "hoops junkie" at all, please do the same. Basketball is for losers.

But at least it's not soccer.
Just in case you need a reminder that drug companies are evil fucks... Because I know you'd forgotten.

The former CEO of Eli Lilly is in charge of Bush's AIDS plan. That's... That's just disgusting.
Nothin' like a good old fashioned proxy war. Sorta.
When people from the Clinton Administration come out to criticize TB for not acting on the al Qaeda threat, there's both validity and hollowness to their claims. Bush didn't do shit to go after al Qaeda and other terrorists, and he had no real intention of doing so. This is just like every other administration that came before, both D and R alike, including Clinton's. TB obviously only stepped things up because they had to - period. Of course, it didn't hurt matters that 9/11 gave them an excuse to do all sorts of things they had already planned - USA PATRIOT, Iraq, etc. Still, they probably would have sat on their hands if they could have.
You know, Bush, maybe the best way to motivate people to fight terrorism is to not give a speech where you talk a lot about the war in Iraq. You know, the war that was based on lies that not only diverted us from hunting down the terrorists who attacked us but also helped to breed terrorism inside Iraq.

You might argue that building a democracy in Iraq will be a future stepping stone towards combating terrorism. And if that ends up being the case, you'd be right. No one - not Democrat or Republican, liberal nor conservative - have ever said that democracy for Iraq isn't good for Iraq or the world as a whole. But we didn't fight this war to protect ourselves, and we didn't fight this war to combat terrorism. If we were so concerned with fixing up un-democratic societies known for producing terrorists, we'd be going after, say, Saudi Arabia. You know, where 15 of the 19 9/11 highjackers were from, and not Iraq as so many stupid people believe. I'm not saying we should attack Saudi Arabia, I'm just saying that a move like that would be much more consistent with what the Administration says it's doing. What we did and are (sorta) still doing in Afghanistan is more in line with that rhetoric - although at this point I'm no longer fully convinced that we weren't also just looking for an excuse to go after the Taliban so that Unocal could build a big oil pipeline in addition to the need for 9/11 revenge.

I know it's very unpragmatic of me, but motives matter. We were lied to about the whole fucking Iraq thing. I'm sorry, we weren't lied to, we were "fed bad intelligence" as the kids are calling it these days.

Finally, a quote from Bush:

"The war on terror is not a figure of speech. It is an inescapable calling of our generation. The terrorists are offended not merely by our policies - they are offended by our existence as free nations."

Actually, Georgie, it is kind of a figure of speech. Typically, we think of a war as something that we can win. We're never going to defeat terrorism. That doesn't mean we should stop trying, but let's keep it real here. Don't worry, I know that we won't. Also, fucking QUIT IT when it comes to saying that they hate us because of our freedom. This is just a bullshit attempt to not only hide the real reasons people are pissed off at us, but to do this bullshit 180 and actually try and make ourselves look better because of it. If they were so angry or jealous of our freedom, maybe they'd do a little more work towards joining a free society or building a free society of their own. When you mentioned our policies, that was a little bit more on the money.
So we all remember how I've got stupid thoughts running through my head now. Well, today, I decided to try and bring one of those stupid thoughts to fruition by going out and doing some jogging.

Mistake.

Fuck I am not in good shape. When you go out running and after not too long your head and heart feel ready to explode, and then when you get home to do some sit-ups/crunches/whatever and after awhile you just punt by saying "forget it," that's not a quality workout. Well, gotta start somewhere.

Of course, this is just my first time out exercising in a long time. And like always, I push myself way too hard way too quickly, and end up spent before any quality work gets done. Then afterwards, you can't decide if you want to sleep, vomit, or die. Hmmm, that sounds so familiar to some other situation, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Except for the vomiting part. Okay, okay... Especially the vomiting part.

I need to find some other activity to get into shape. I hate running. The reason I always end up doing it is because there's something (to add to all the other somethings) miswired in my brain that says the only way to get in shape is by doing something I hate. I like playing sports on occasion, like tennis or baseball, even though I suck at them. The key is to play these sports with other people who suck as badly as I do. The problem is, I have virtually no friends, and those that I do have are about as motivated as I am. I think I need to buy myself a bike; I can do that alone, I like doing it, and I don't think it ends up being the cardiovascular bukkake that running has become.

I'm not really looking to lose weight - maybe shed a few pounds, but nothing big. I'm more concerned with getting in better shape so that five minutes of running doesn't nearly have me dead on the sidewalk. Even though I'm pretty sure that we're close to zero as it is, dying pretty much completely ends my chances of landing underage Asian hottie (UAH). I'd definitely like to tone up, especially in the ab arena. Since I know I won't go to a gym for myriad reasons, I'm looking into getting some stuff for home so that I can start lifting again.

And, believe it or not, I'm really not doing this to impress women because, trust me, I can work my ass of and no one will be impressed. The last time I had a decent regimen going the only one who took notice was ETP, but to be sadly honest, that was still kinda nice. At least someone noticed, goddammit. Aside from the vanity bullshit, once my size 30s are getting tight on me, I am not happy, and I want to rectify that. Yes, 30 waist. What did you think the "little" in "Bitter Little Man" stood for?

Anyway, what are people out there doing to get in shape or keep in shape?

nerds fucking schoolgirls

Dude, just go pick yourself up a Japanese porno, because that's pretty much all it is - nerds fucking schoolgirls. Nerdy guys who never got laid when they were younger acting out those school day fantasies. To borrow a line from Galvin, a lot of their porn is pretty much just live-action Nanodimensional Schoolgirl Rape Adventure.

This is yet another naughty post, so don't click on any of the links unless you want your co-workers/spouse/kids/whoever to see you shopping for sex toys.

I made the mistake of mentioning the Fleshlight one time. No, I don't actually have one, although I probably should bust one of these out since I'm, you know, lonely. Anyway, I saw a banner ad for one of these once and made mention of in a post, and now I get Google hits for people looking to buy a Fleshlight on eBay, looking for a product review, etc. I decided to hit the homepage of the maker of this product tonight, and found a couple of things to share.

First there's sex in a can. I just love the description of this one: Great for men with less penis girth, and perfect for keeping in the office. Less penis girth? Less. Check this shit out. I don't have a small penis, I have less penis girth. It almost doesn't sound as bad, dunnit? So anyway, less penis girth. Check. Keeping in the office? Okay, let's pretend for a second that work isn't now actually keeping me far too busy to give me time to shoot my load into a can while I'm at my desk. I'm still not going to be getting off at work. I may have self-control issues, but I have enough to be able to wait a few hours until I get home. Furthermore, I'm not keeping something in my office that I've ejaculated into; that's disgusting.

Now that you've had to deal with that awful imagery, I offer up this disturbing product: the mouth Fleshlight. That thing is seriously fucking creepy. I guess now I know what I'll be having nightmares about tonight.

Okay, that's all. Don't ask why I felt the need to share and discuss this evening's find. Just your lucky day, I guess.
This raises a couple of questions: Was it one knee or two? If the answer to the preceeding question was "two", are you sure it was during a show?

Also, I could have sworn that Shitney Spears was hot at one point, but I may have been mistaken.
Are you Lois Lane? Then shut the hell up!
Another great TB picture, courtesy of CNN:

This, I dunno, might be important.
Mary over at Naked Furniture has declared the pic I linked to earlier as being of Cheney's "gettin' my grind on" face, which I think is great.

And just in case you need a reminder of just who's fucking America so hard in its sore, collective ass:

Just in case you'd forgotten that Antonin Scalia is a dirty asshole fuck. He took 21 pages to say that his impartiality in unquestionable, even though lots of people have serious and valid questions about his impartiality? I'd love to see that memorandum. Only I wouldn't. I'm really not in the mood for a toxic dose of bullshit.
I don't know about anywhere else, but I could swear winters used to be much colder, longer, and snowier here. But you know those weather experts. Surely they know what they're talking about.
Ignorance? In Tennessee? Surely this is a misprint of some kind.

They wanted to declare homosexuals as being in commission of crimes against nature. Will you people just get back to fucking your sisters and leave everyone else the hell alone already?

Ahh, it has been far too long since we've gotten off an incest blast here. I know things have been really slow as of late, but it almost feels like I'm suddenly right back in the game.

"I think they should go further, try to see if they can ban them. It's not a Christian thing."

Actually, Caitlin, it is a Christian thing. Nice to see yet another kid well on the path of total fucking ignorance. Is 12 too young to call someone a cunt? No? I didn't think so.
Maureen.
Admit it: there's at least some part of you whose face this puts a smile on.

Could there be a better picture of Cheney than the one currently found on this page?

And while we're talking about religion (or at least we were yesterday), I really like Wynette's idea for Anti-Jesus Counter Measures.
