Where else could you get great lines like this?
“We’ve never seen hot dogs mixed with prostitution before,” Deputy Inspector Rick Capece said. “There are so many jokes, so little time.”

I don’t know what made me think of this
December 21, 2004 – 4:25 pm
The other day, on my way into work, I was about to pull in to McDonalds to buy my usual breakfast and it occurred to me that I should order a “Mighty McMorphin Power Muffin with sausage egg and cheese”.
I didn’t have the nerve to actually do it, though. But just say it [...]
Ultra vivid scenery
December 18, 2004 – 9:41 am
Just Adobe Gamma’d my monitor. WOW! I can see things on it now - the dissident frogman-designed little trackback, permalink and comment boxes at samizdata have little cropped bits of the samizdata logo in them, for instance! Who knew - who knew - what a color profile could do for you, I ask?
UPDATE: of course, [...]
Affirmative Inaction
December 17, 2004 – 2:16 pm
The Miami Dolphins want to hire Louisiana State Univ football coach Nick Saban. He’s interested in being hired by them.
However, the NFL says that teams are required to interview meaningful minority coaching candidates.
But those candidates are all on teams in playoff contention or who have clinched playoff spots.
And the NFL says that teams cannot [...]
I effing hate Newark.
December 15, 2004 – 10:33 pm
And it’s not even Newark’s fault.
Here I sit in the splendid Marriott Courtyard hotel in fargin’ Newark, and not at home with my wife and kids like I was supposed to be… because Air Traffic Control delayed my flight into Newark on the ground in Charlotte for two hours. Causing me to miss my [...]
Ah, the WWW

Little nuggets of cool, floating in a sea of crap.

UPDATE: the particular turd referenced above has been flushed, and replaced with a blog.
Cookie I think you’re TAME …okay, not really
December 15, 2004 – 3:12 pm
(OK, this post is a little late, but I find I’ve still songs from the show bouncing around in my head, so this is both a reivew and attempt at exorcism)
Twelve years later, and the Pixies are still damn good.
Having seen them a number of times before, I noticed that they took a little longer [...]
On TV, part 3: scifi.bomb
December 15, 2004 – 2:21 pm
Dear SciFi,
This was passable, this certainly wasn’t, and now… the bottom of the barrel has been officially reached. I have never seen such complete and total debasement. I took a dump today that could’ve written a better screenplay. I demand you leave that poor woman alone, you soulless hacks! I mean, who do you [...]
A more perfect union
December 14, 2004 – 5:25 pm
JJ just played an excellent mix of Aphex Twin and Squarepusher under a recording of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence - really cool. I really like stuff like that. I wonder how much of an investment of time and software is involved in getting set up to goof around in like manner at [...]
Those annoying libertarians
December 14, 2004 – 12:27 pm
… you know the kind.
Other suggested answers to Junior’s question:
1. He didn’t “have to” - Daddy was a patriot who liked his country enough to shoot people who threatened it, Junior.
2. He didn’t “have to” - Daddy was a peculiar guy who didn’t see anything wrong with shooting people for money. It was just a [...]

All Hail the Midnight Deadline!

An oldie but a goodie.
And given how FICAL acted, he should have kept every bit of it.
A force is a force, of course, of course

unless of course, the force….
Aw, hell, just read about it.
Another thing that may interest only me
December 1, 2004 – 5:08 pm
I guess we’ll have to start calling them “Quartics” instead of “Qubes”. For some reason, the Nasdaq 100 tracking stock is changing symbols from QQQ to QQQQ.
The truth about cats
December 1, 2004 – 4:42 pm
So true, so true…
“feed me” and “don’t bother me” probably covers it for cats.
well, there is the occasional “you are sufficiently acceptable to touch me.”
I’m pretty sure that [...]
