Well, I’m not quite sure

Well, I’m not quite sure if I’m welcome here anymore but I wanted to point a few things out.

1. The original intention of my post was to point out how Beermary has a track record of mis-reading things and attacking people. It’s now a train wreck gone out of control.

2. Donna and I were two *completely different* incidents totally unrelated to this “anti-gay” thread disaster.

3. Calling someone on my site an asshole makes you no better than these guys swinging off my chandelier and dropping banana peels on my floors right now.

4. I’ve stood by Matt’s remarks in my comments.

I’m not sure where you got the impression that I was delinking you, but I happen to enjoy your topics and your insight, as you’ve been around the block. Whether you wish to write off a slew of us over one topic gone awry… well, that’s your decision, and I’ll respect that.

Maybe it’s the heat. I know I’ve really been edgy the past couple of weeks.

Don’t get up. I know the way out…

Name the newsletter title contest…

I’ll probably be sending out another WHUZZUPDATE! Newsletter out on Monday. I had some issues with the mailer back in May, which resulted in a lot of undeliverable mail to

  • AOL addresses
  • POP3 emails
  • ISPs with very strict spam filters
  • … and well, dead emails as my mailing list was pulled off my Yahoo Club circa 2000.

    Dear Eric Brooks' of the world

    While I do enjoy the occasional “WOW! Another Eric Brooks in the world, what an amazing coincidence…” emails (as if you’ve never looked in the white pages to find that there’s at least 200 of them in New York City alone, not to mention a major Marvel Comics character, a murderer, an actor/producer, a rapper and a country music singer.)…

    Grraagh! Hulk laugh at Ken Doll!!!

    Anatomically correct hulk dolls! Click for larger photo.

    Kinda gives “HULK SMASH!” a whole new meaning don’t it?

    Rumor has it that body builders all over the U.K. are throwing away their anabolic steroids and will now switch to gamma radiation… hopefully before they suffer any more, uhm, damage to their bodies. Yeah that’s it.

    What’s in a birthday?

    So I punch my birthday in this Press any key thingy (Stolen FROM Batgrl)…

    Of rare beauty – If “walking death” is considered rare, true.
    knows how to adapt – I am a chameleon. Actually, I think I’m invisible.
    likes luxury – If I had a clue what “luxury” was…
    of good health not in the least shy – Not true. I am very shy.
    tends to look down on others – MOI????
    self-confident – Damn skippy.
    determined – mmmmm…yeah, I can see that one.
    impatient – Ridiculous! It’s not my fault everything takes too damn long!
    wants to impress others – Doesn’t everybody?

    many talents -(OH SHUT UP! All of you!!!) Jack of all trades maybe. Definitely not muti-talented. I haven’t mastered Japanese yet.
    industrious – I have to be. Every system I’m asked to use SUCKS!
    healthy optimism – HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! (btw, you DIE at the end of the story.)
    waiting for the one true love – Not true. I see him in the mirror every morning. Otherwise, I gave up on that “love” crap a long time ago.
    able to make quick decisions – Uhhhhhh….
    cocky, overconfident, ÜberJerk. – okay, okay… I made that one up.

    Some light reading on a Sunday morning

    End the Liberal Voluntary Extinction Movement:

    “I have a degree in philosophy, so I get increasingly tired of some self-consciously Liberal snot-wad who has memorized a list of logical fallacies lecturing me about going ad hominem. Sorry, but in politics the fact that someone is a scumbag isn’t ad hominem, it’s relevant. That’s not to say that their claim that, say, Madison is the capital of Wisconsin is untrue because they are a proven lying and dishonest scumbag. However, when they claim an abstract such as their HAVING the moral authority to lead this nation, the fact that they are a lying and dishonest scumbag counts.Conservatives have one thing going for them: Conviction. This is not to say they are in the right, but that they have the drive and attention to detail of the organized serial rapist. As wrong as it may be, they are sadists dedicated to their craft.”

    Blast FROM the past

    Wow… how cool is this?

    While searching for, *ahem*, me, on the web (oh shut up! You do it too, ok?), I stumbled on someone who saved “Casualties of the Browser Wars“… which I wrote in 1999 for the now-defunct Internet Day news site.

    I also scored a lot of design gigs over that article too. And, Oh… the death threats I got FROM Netscape fan(atic)s all over the world was awesome. They were coming in for weeks!!! :0)

    Tribute to Barry White (1944-2003)

    Barry White (1944-2003)

    He was a beautiful man, with a beautiful voice. When it came to “setting the mood” (*nudge, nudge*)… nobody did it like Barry White. Just the sound of his deep baritone voice had women leaving puddles everywhere.

    Mr. White passed away this morning at the age of 58. But his music is forever.
