What’s coming up in 1984… uhm, I mean 2004

My stats are ridiculously low… at least here on WHUZZUP. I hear that same complaint on a lot of blogs I visit too. Like people went off on summer vacation, and never came back. (Most likely it’s “Supply and Demand”. I couldn’t *possibly* visit every site I link to in one sitting. And I’m sure I’ve pissed off everyone at this point to insure I’m not a “must read” anywhere.)

Elsewhere, my stats dictate it’s painfully obvious that the people want escapism and entertainment.

You may think I’m out of my mind for saying this… but I’m relieved.
This takes the pressure off of me HAVING to write here constantly. I have way better things to do, like unroll a 2004 redesign (or three with a “skinning option”), make much-needed repairs on my fonts, free stuff, and e-cards sections… bring back the “The Guestbook FROM Hell”.

And most of all, not have to discuss politics. I hate talking politics.
It turns people off as much as my flame wars did.

2004 Predictions: If you thought blogland was ugly with the Iraq war… you ain’t seen nothing yet. The Presidential race will be the nastiest viper pit of mudslinging, and emotionally immature and ignorant turdfest imaginable, and the web will definitely be one of the frontlines.

As much as I’d love to slam back at all of the “bad asses” who are just beginning to be aware of world events, and are suddenly “experts”… I’d rather leave that to the pros.

Reasons for Christmas LIVE – Thursday, Dec. 11th

trfcp468x60.gif

We all have a song or two that tells us the holidays are upon us. There’s one song that triggers it for me: “The Christmas Song”, by Nat King Cole.

And I heard it today, at lunch with Jon Jorgenson.

Merry Christmas! PAR-TAY!

Other than that, how was the Hilary Duff concert?

It states, quite clearly, in the Internet Superhero Code of Ethics & Conduct, section four, subsection 16D:

“Members are strictly forbidden to mock, laugh, gloat, or otherwise partake in joyous behavior at the misery of a nemesis found in a twisted situation of extreme karmic proportions.”

Why does this cartoon offend Warbloggers, anyway?

Chicken Hawk Down – By Tom Tomorrow

Hee hee haw haw HAAAAAAA!!!!
*falls off chair*
(I’m ok.)

It seemed to have caused a stir a week or two back. (I’m late for the party again, what else is new. But Tom Tomorrow nailed in six panels what I have been trying to say for over a year.).

The polls are closed

I’ve closed the comments for the contest…

I’ve got a couple of great submissions FROM Jack, Toxiclabrat, and Crazy Tracy
(Kare is unfortunately ineligible, since after all she owns the diary site in question… but has been a really good sport through all of it.).

    Somehow, I thought it would be a no-brainer, but I’m really stuck.
    Q: “What is a bhoomi-bhoomi?” 

  • Jack – “An indian word for Mother Earth” (the running gag that followed was priceless)
  • Toxiclabrat – “Man, I thought it was a white version of Bling..Bling..”
  • Crazy Tracy – “It’s lesbian sex, using a dildo, a cordless drill and a sit-and-spin.”

I need some help… people.

New contest – Win a music CD

Allrighty!

It’s time for some good, clean, wholesome fun…
I need an excuse not to post for a few days, and what better way to do this than to run a contest?

Give me your best answer for this:
“What is a bhoomi-bhoomi?”

My original guess was either “Pikachu’s illegitimate half-brother FROM Nigeria”, or “a new creative way to describe a baby with gas”… but they were both wrong, and I don’t have the nerve to ask the owner. So let’s make something up, kiddies!

The Reasons for Christmas ProjectThe winner gets a copy of The Reasons for Christmas Project.
A compilation of great songs by various artists in the Poconos for a worthy charity.

Use the comments, email me, or ping me…
Deadline is Monday night at 8PM.

Election aftermath

Ahh… the people have spoken.

And they are truly idiots.
However, it’s all about choice. That’s what makes America great, right?
Even if dark days, a lot of despair, doom & gloom are ahead of us. And you just gave the enemies the keys to the kingdom. Hey, that’s cool.

You did your civic duty and got out there to vote, and I’m damn proud of you.

Dewey beats Marlins in the World Series!!!

World Series 100th Anniversary Damn.

Was my prediction off (just a little), or what?

Of course I’ve been hearing rumours all week that the series was fixed, the Marlins would take it, and now they can go to the city of Miami and get their own stadium.

Nah.

I choose to believe that the Marlins were hungry. They’re a superior team that was seriously underestimated FROM the word “go”. And they deserved this.

Congratulations Marlins & Marlins fans!
