Birthdays
Figures…
Birthday Alarm is down.
Besides celebrating Easter, we have two birthday girls today!!!!
- Faith of Oxymoronic
- Donna of Confessions of An Anti-social Bitch
You can always count on me, folks!
Send them an E-Card (no birthdays yet… but I do have a “Happy Birthday” MIDI, and I bet they’ll love the tacky & tasteless assortment in the Humor section.)
And in the spirit of showing that I am indeed a kind, and sensitive soul, I wont reveal the ages of these two old bats either.
The Super Dudes
The First Episode of The Super Dudes
– “Incredible, Ain’t it?”NOW PLAYING ON NEWGROUNDS.COM
Let’s face it. If you’re willing to run around town in tights, have incredible powers that you use only for good deeds, with no insurance or financial compensation, rather than knock off a bank or go on a killing spree:
1) You really need to get laid.
b) You’re out of your mind.
Let’s take the mythos of our beloved superheroes a step further and make them more real. The good and the bad. Here’s what I’ve come up with:

Patriots Day
Gonna be back-to-back-to-back posts today, so much stuff is going on (and yes… the pilot episode of Super Dudes is done and online. Link to follow.)
Daphne reminds us today is Patriots Day.
You know, anyone can cheer on the winning team, root for the home team in an “easy war”. When the going gets tough? When things go really wrong? That’s when you see what people are made of. Our troops need our support more than ever.
Whether Saddam and Oday Hussein are hiding on a farm dressed as peasants somewhere, or they’re primordial ooze underneath a pile of rubble… either way, they’ll never be a threat to anyone again. No one will shed a tear for them, least of all me.
Where are all the holy men? You know the ones who scream “Death to America” everytime their coffee is too cold, or their eggs are too runny? Why aren’t they putting out a plea to the Iraqi looters and say “Hey, stop stealing other people’s shit, and destroying 7,000 years of history and artifacts!” ?
Just something new to blame America for.
It’s always America’s fault over there, isn’t it.
When the U.N. sends peace-keeping troops to some hotspot on the planet, they only see it as “The Americans interfering again.”
So now, on top of dealing with mercs, suicide bombers, and snipers, they’re expected to stop people FROM stealing their own shit? Give me a fucking break. Sorry we’re more concerned with combat and finding our people who are being tortured somewhere. Amid the gunfire and chaos, these ingrates are whining “this is democracy???”. What, they don’t have the balls to stop the looters themselves?

Your Easter Egg, or your life!
Sorry dudes. Fell asleep the minute I got home, and never finished the Super Dudes. Had an Easter Egg Hunt at work today (no, really.) Found a couple of eggs with tootsie rolls, destroyed the newsroom, and even found an egg with a raffle ticket where I won $1. (Cash is ALWAYS an acceptable gift.)
This of course wiped me out. It takes a lot of energy to ransack your boss’ office. Goofing off in his IM, talking to his contacts, pretending to be him… all in the name of finding that one Easter Egg where you get the day off with pay.
Somebody else got it.
Bastard.
I’m flooded with memories of 1981 where we were caught in a riot in Central Park in NYC (anyone remember that?) We’re there on the Great Lawn for the Easter egg hunt. The imbeciles in charge were running late, so they decided (in their infinite wisdom) to start tossing Easter eggs out INTO the crowd, right off the truck.
Of COURSE we’re gonna beat the piss out of the smaller and weaker for their Easter Eggs! We’re New Yorkers, what do you expect?
My cousins and I are pounding on smaller kids, while getting punched in the face by their parents. I had to literally pull my mom, by her feet, out of a 30-person pileup…
Only to get home, and watch Channel 11 news portray us as a pack of animals in their footage! The nerve!!!! It was survival of the fittest that day.

TOP STORY – ACTOR FOUND DEAD
NEW YORK (AP) – Famed flash actor Mr. Winky, was found dead in his apartment today. Police are ruling it “suspicious”, and no two-legged suspects have been named. While his fall appeared like a suicide, an unnamed doorman was quoted as saying: “Man… Humpty Dumpty was pushed.”
IN OTHER NEWS…
(How much more of this guy’s shit do we have to put up with, anyway?)
No promises, but I’m trying to get The Super-Dudes out the door sometime tomorrow night.
Why? Cuz the web’s so boring without me….
(Gawd I can’t get that Eminem song out of my head…)
The Freak SHOW Returns!
With the first Whuzzupdate! Newsletter being sent out the door 5 minutes ago… this site is now officially opened for business! (Anyone see the pretty new front page?)

Site’s getting there…
Hey thanks for stopping by, gang.
I’m really sorry I haven’t had the chance to stop by your sites and visit you lately. It’s been crazy here… but I miss you all.
I’m not 100% comfortable about considering this site “open” until all of the links work. I’m getting there. Truth be told this site was falling in disrepair back in 2001, so if I’m going to get this site running, I’ll be doing it right.

Back with a vengeance… uhm, eventually?
Yeah, yeah, yeah… I know it’s April.
But you should know two things about me by now:
1. I’m a pain-in-the-@$$ perfectionist.
b. I never meet a deadline.
I did get a chuckle reading Y2K Mike after all these years. (KayCee fans should find the ending a little, uhm… familiar?)
I’m shooting for this weekend, okay? I’m migrating a few of my old Enemy of The State/Anarchtica entries INTO Soapbox. I also have been collaborating in a few outside projects…

Tina’s movin’ on up…
Anyone looking for The Other Cheek can find Tina at her new fancy URL: www.othercheek.net… lookin’ good, sis! 🙂
I just finished the last two panels of “The Super Dudes” (no, I didn’t forget… just no time with all this War Coverage I’m doing.)
I learned something new in the newspaper biz lately. You would think something monumental like a war would be good for us, right?
Wrong.
While circulation goes up, advertisers pull their ads faster than you can say “Saddam Sucks”. Within hours before the deadline for Saddam to go INTO exile, advertisers were calling in to pull their ads. Customers see advertisers as ghouls at times like these, trying to cash in on a tragedy. (They get angry letters like “How dare you sell cars/cell phones/houses while people are dying???” )
Why do you think September 11th coverage went commercial-free after a while? Public service FROM the tv stations, or all the advertisers pulled their ads? You tell me.
