I have to apologize to Paul over at Meer Macatawa. I was plodding through an upgrade of MTBlacklist and I despammed your comment. Thanks, for commenting here; sorry I’m a dumbass.
On a totally unrelated note, this is the 300th post (that I’ve kept) to this blog. Considering what I lost in the MT-to-WordPres-back-to-MT debacle, that’s not bad.
Shifting twice in one post, if anyone knows how to remove accidentally despammed users from MT Blacklist, I’m soliciting answers.
I find this hilarious for some reason. I shouldn’t because the sum of the equation is an FCC that destroys good television and radio, but the method is too juicy to resist. David Galbraith doesn’t like that the FCC is getting spammed by “organized religious activists” in “flashmob fashion”. Which is completely accurate. These activists are doing just that. In fact, I would think Mr. Galbraith would appreciate these efforts because technology has enabled people to accomplish their life goals. I’ll go one further and suggest Mr. Galbraith would change his tune completely if they were “orgnized activists” instead of “organized religious activists”.
It’s funny how the right and left share so many common traits, they just don’t realize it. Technology, like it or not, is a politically-neutral enabler. A tag couldn’t care less whether you’re trying to suppress nipples everywhere or posting, well, a screed against those trying to suppress nipples anywhere. Use the tools given to you to accompish your goals and stop being a whiner, Mr. Galbraith; you’re smarter than that.
I know authors pump and dump books on Amazon all the time with literati dick-waving, but I had no idea the fanboys were in effect as well. (Never thought I’d write a sentence with literati, dick-waving, and fanboys all in one sentence, did yah?)
Apparently, all you need to breed such humorous banter as this is a Pixie’s tribute album.
i’m sure that weezer is really upset that they didn’t get as many stars on the rollingstone website that the pixies did, i mean when they count their money all the way to the bank, im sure they really regret not kissing rollingstone’s ass.
Yeee haw! Sales are the true measure of a band, mate! Nevermind that the Pixie’s are generally considered a pretty solid band (one which could quite possibly take credit for thinning the emo ranks now and then, as well).
I’ve never heard the album, but I suspect the reviews on Amazon are more entertaining anyway. Read through more of them on the extended reviews… great stuff.
Sidenote: Someone at Weezer’s fan club must have pointed to this, because they are way over-represented here.

I use this for most of my publishing (except when I’m at work). Can’t wait to try out the new version.
I love tomatoes; summer is too short if only for the growing season on those red beauties. So, when someone at work mentioned they had ordered their seeds for the coming gardening season, I thought this year I’d quit having to wait out the stores and farmers for good toms, and grow my own.
I’m told you can do so very effectively in a pot on a porch, which means I have a 30% chance of actually growing a tomato, and not just a ever-browning tomato plant.
I went looking for some seeds, and I sure hope I can grow these puppies because this page is making my mouth water.
Now I may even have an excuse to go that store across from Sweetwater’s (drawing a blank right now). Is this town turning me, or am I going back to my roots?
In the slew of groundhog-related articles today, the Detroit Free Press takes the cake for dumbest/weirdest/most disjointed sentence of the day.
For the two years since one-eyed Noah’s demise, a groundhog puppet and a live llama were used.
That is the first and last mention of a puppet or llama in the story. No explanation offered. Why did they use a puppet and a llama? Were they just hanging out and sort of got volunteered? Do they have the same weather-predicting abilities as one-eyed Noah? Do they have to be used together (puppet prompts llama, llama uses puppet, etc.)? HUH!?!?! Tell me!
