Al Franken Attempts To Out-Shrill Even Dean in Politics JoeUser Forums

One has to look at this recent Al Franken episode with a twinge of skepticism. Would someone of Franken's ability to pay a hefty assault settlement really put himself in a situation where he (potentially) physically harmed someone, and then repeatedly and publicly admit it? Even the ill-tempered Sean Penn-types of the celebrity world don't comment on their wannabe bravado for fear of buying their bruised victims a summer home settlement.

Reply to So Long, And Thanks For The Jello Pops in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

I'm angry that Curt Cobain is dead, too. With him leaving, that allowed people to give Courtney Love some attention. I would rather have had Martha Stewart start a band and serve bundt cake at her CD signing parties.

So Long, And Thanks For The Jello Pops in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

I bid you farewell, Bob Keeshen, AKA Captain Kangeroo. You introduced me to Bill Cosby and were a nice bumper between Romper Room and Mr. Rodgers' Neighborhood. I enjoyed the ping pong balls falling on your head. You also allowed me to start my very own urban legend about Mr. Greenjeans that I discovered had gone worldwide when a German acquaintence of mine re-told me, almost verbatim, the story I had started nearly 25 years ago. Aegix has a posse!

I was a hacker for an anti-U.S. government movement in Politics JoeUser Forums

Did I ever tell you I used to be a hacker for an ultra-right wing organization? "Ultra-right wing" in terms that the John Birch Society is a bunch of pathetic, liberal cowards right wing. As in, "We Don't Pay Taxes And All Of That Money We Save From Doing So Goes Into Stockpiling Weapons" sort of philosophy. Now, I didn't "hack" in terms of I infiltrated the IRS and deleted all the sensitive data on these guys from their databases, but merely wrote little programs that did things

"Again, VERY funny stuff. Love the assignments....you're Tyler Durden in some parallel universe? Anne" I'm Tyler Durden's spleen! Much love goes out to a fellow Fight Club afficiado. Uh...the "love" part is completely the platonic, non-stalker, what-you-would-give-to-your-ultra-cool-non-man-hating-lesbian-friend-type of love. Not to imply you're a lesbian. Not that there would be anything wrong with that. You get what I'm trying to say, right?

Reply to What a Kroc in Misc JoeUser Forums

Since the Ray Kroc story is shoved down the throat of every wannabe entrepreneur (I'm an Amway survivor, you know that's going to make an article), I'll tell you: Ray Kroc either invented, produced or sold shake-making machines. One of his clients was this resteraunt owned by the McDonald brothers. Ray bought them out and started on his path of fame and wealth. I dunno if the resteraunt was in its present format (fast, cheap food with a limited menu) or whether that was ol' Ray himse

Do you know me? I'm famous. in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

Do you know me? I've been on TV. Well, almost on TV, but I am a celebrated actor. "Celebrated" in that I won the coveted "Best Battlefield Death of an Anonymous Soldier" voted on by the ragtag group of equally anonymous Confederate boys who re-enacted The Battle of Arnoldsburg. Which is, actually, quite esteemed considering I was merely a kid trying to get a SAG card riding shotgun with Guys Who Do This Stuff All The Time, or "re-enactment enthusiasts." When I was shot, I jerked my

"The Salvation Army said Tuesday that it will receive a bequest of at least $1.5 billion, the largest gift of its kind, from the estate of Joan Kroc, widow of hamburger king Ray Kroc. " -- Reuters Does this mean they'll knock off the FUCKING INCESSANT bell ringing for now on?

You misunderstand...I do not want to be a technological savant. I want to simplify my life. Maybe Ted Kaczynski was right all along. Err...not about the bombing part, though. You understand what I'm saying.

Fear Me in Misc JoeUser Forums

I'm wearing two pagers today and a cell phone. I can be contacted anywhere, by anybody. I have more responsibility than you. I am gadgetlicious. Let me show you how: Do you know when the transaction logs for your development server databases are more than 15 minutes late? No? I do. What about any event log warning message? Do you get those? Do you get to interrupt conversations with a "Hold u

Friends, Romans, and Countrymen... in Welcome JoeUser Forums

Ok, so this is the proverbial "Hello World" portion of a new blog...something all developers understand instantly. It's necessary, yet everybody wants to move past it as quickly as possible. Now that I have my own little place in the world to be a witty word exhibitionist, I'm strangely at a loss. There will be more later. Whether that is a vitae of sorts or a Playmate-esque listing of favorite turn-ons and whatnot. Assignment: Make up a name of band and post it under Co
