Matt is beta testing a chat room. Check it out.
Here is a sample of what went on in the first few hours after Matt had posted it on BaldMafia:
22:57:57 [deeprest] axidentPro> you are ####, correct?
22:58:09 [axidentPro] yes, that is correct
22:58:58 [deeprest] lovely, yea, I have Hate for you
22:59:28 [axidentPro] well, that's all you......I don't have hate for you guys
23:00:22 [deeprest] I have rtho and you know that
23:00:36 [deeprest] reasons
23:01:08 [deeprest] I don't like hating you
23:01:41 [axidentPro] it would be easy for me to hate you, too. But I don't have the time or the want to hate anyone.
23:02:27 [axidentPro] shit happens, life goes on......I wish everyone well....well, almost.
23:02:31 [Loomis] Oooh! Hate discussions! I love chat rooms.
23:02:36 [axidentPro] but you aren't on the list of people I hate.
23:02:38 [deeprest] riu just have time to fuck up everything for anyone you don't like for the moment
23:03:53 [deeprest] people change, but I won't forgive you for shit you have done to me
23:04:19 [axidentPro] well, that's for you to live with
23:04:54 [axidentPro] I can think of a few things you did that I could just dwell on....but it's not worth my time
23:05:14 [deeprest] no, not true, you are the whore that fucked with several of my relationships
23:05:43 mrquick enters this room Matt, told me there was a cat fight so I had to check it out.
23:05:44 >[mrquick] Welcome to our chat. Please obey the net etiquette while chatting: try to be pleasant and polite.
23:06:58 [axidentPro] oddly, it seems you went scraping after my leftovers
23:07:11 [deeprest] I don't want to do this in public, I'd rather say it to your face The weird thing about that comment is that she now lives 1000 miles away.
23:08:09 [deeprest] bullshit! I have the only descent man you ever had and lost
23:08:20 [axidentPro] that I got rid of
23:08:39 [deeprest] I did'nt seek out your boyfriends and fuck them

23:13:24 [deeprest] Lance, I suppose you were to fucked up to remember...I can't wait to see you again
23:13:29 [axidentPro] I still don't know who Lance is
23:14:11 redNIX enters this room This is where our friend Ash comes in and decided to try to piss them off a little more.
23:14:12 [axidentPro] I know ONE Lance......and he's lived in California for the last 10 years so I don't think it would be him
23:15:24 [deeprest] I went out with him for a year, you used to call him ' young Robert Page'
23:15:54 [axidentPro] Robert Page?
23:16:05 [axidentPro] oh, the Jimmy Page looking twit?

Bah Humbug.

I am suddenly in a good mood.
I got some stuff accomplished at work today. I also found out that one of the most mind numbing jobs I have to do at work is from this moment on going to be automated. I had trouble getting this new external 60 GB hard drive installed, but then I figured out how to do it from the command line. I got the computer to recognize the disk drive and after that it was easy to format it. So its working fine and I won't have to delete anything for a very long time.
And when I got home I watched the latest episode of South Park and it may be one of the finest shows they have ever done.
I am amazed at how good that show is even after all of this time.
In this episode, Kenny dies. I know that is a big shock. Its so rare in television that a main character dies. Well, in most TV shows anyway. This time Kenny has some sort of muscular disease that he may be cured of if only the government hadn't stopped stem cell research. Cartman knows that he has to do something or Kenny will die.
So he goes and speaks to Congress. He finishes his final plea by singing...
HEAT OF THE MOMENT by Asia
I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
A look from you and I would fall from grace
And it would wipe the smile right from my face
Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidents arose from circumstance
One thing led to another, we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung
It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what my heart meant
The heat of the moment showed in your eyes
By the end all of Congress was singing along and they new that must allow stem cell research.
There was so much more to the show that I won't go into here because I'm afraid I won't do it justice, but if you get a chance you really need to watch it. In this episode, Kenny's illness and death are actually sad events. He even gets a funeral. Chef's discussion with Stan about God is worth seeing on its own.
Good NIght, Good Morning, whatever.

God Damn it! I think I'm getting senile.
Most days, I pick Matt up and we ride in to work together. We usually listen to Talk of the Nation on NPR on the way to work. We discuss what we hear about that day’s subject or if it’s a particularly lame show that day we’ll come up with something to entertain ourselves on the 20 – 25 minute drive.
Matt and I both have an interesting view on life and we have some funny and gripping discussions.
By the time I work a full day, go to the bar and then come home I usually forget what we had talked about and I have trouble coming up with anything to discuss here in this space.
Here is where the senile part comes in, I know we had a funny conversation today but I can’t think of what it was to save my life. I know at one point we were making fun these surveys that were done by different groups of students around the country. Apparently Talk of the Nation posted some survey questions and asked people across the country to do the surveys and call and tell them about the results.
Most of the studies were done by high school students and they had very small numbers of participants. This made the results very, very different than the national results.
So Matt and I discussed the possibility of doing a survey with just Matt and I as the participants. Example, 100% of white men between the ages of 25 to 35 in my car think that George W. Bush is a dumbass. Also 100% of white men between the ages of 25 to 35 in my car think that Britney Spheres is extremely fuckable.
I’m sure there will be more surveys in the future.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

Last night Danny and several other regulars went on a tirade about this.
"After his young team-mate Reyes scored the goal of the week in their 4-0 pasting of Valladolid, it was not so much a case of 'kiss me quick' as 'kiss me dick' as Gallardo took the celebration of a goal a new step closer to soft porn by planting an affectionate smacker on the goalscorer's nether regions."
The article describes it as a kiss but the video which I linked to above looks more like a bite.
Most US citizens, not all by any means, but most think that soccer is gay. Normally when we use the word "gay", our meaning is something along the lines of very unpleasant; disagreeable. An example would be, "That movie was the worst I've seen this year, it was so gay." That may not be the best example but you probably get the drift.
What the hell was he thinking? In what culture is the biting of another man's penis considered an appropriate reaction when celebrating. Even if it was a co-ed game and a woman did that to a man or a man took a quick bite of a woman's nipple, I don't think it would be acceptable in a sporting event.
I don't think we'll get a good answer for this one.
I was looking though my logs and checking out where around the country and world my traffic was coming from. Well a while ago I put up a link to the Yatta video. I did notice some extra traffic to that file. That isn't so unusual but where one of the IP's came from is what surprised me.

Yes that's right. Someone from Vatican City downloaded that file from my webspace. I personally like to picture the Pope doing some websurfing and watching the half-naked Japanese men dancing around.

A bunch of us went over to Bill & Roy's last night to play poker. We played for about 4 hours and I think we all had a good time.
Of course that is easy for me to say because I was the big winner. This was the first time I have ever been the big winner. In my entire life possibly. We used to play when I was in high school and I won off and on but it always seemed to hover around the $20 mark. That was considered a good night when I was in high school.
I did better than that last night. Part of the reason I'm not usually the big winner is because I'm too cheap. If I get $20 down I quit. I saw several people get down at least $20 and keep playing through the slump until they got back even or even ahead. I personally would have turned over my $20 and walked away. Of course not everyone thinks the way I do. If they did I would have walked out with a lot less money.
I guess it was just my turn to be the big winner. I did play a little more aggressively than normal, but that could have shot me in the foot as easily as helped me.
For example, we played a game called "In Between". Two cards are turned over and if you think the next card is in between those two then you bet money. No more than what is in the pot. If there is $10 in the pot, the most you can bet is $10. If the next card is the same as one of the first two you have to pay double your bet. Pots tend to get fairly large. At least large for me. At one point the pot was probably about $180. I had already put $40 in of my money and my turn came up. I got a pretty good deal, I believe it was a 3 and a king. I bet $100. If the next card had come up as a 3 or a king I would have had to have added $200 to the pot. My heart was pounding and I felt the words catch in my throat as I said them.
Even though the pot never got above about $180, I bet 5 or 6 hundred dollars was cycled around the table to different people. Someone would get a head and then have to pay back in. It was probably the most intense game of the evening. Everyone seemed to be a little drained after it was finally over.
I'm sure next time I'll lose my ass or at least my $20 limit. Most of my winnings will probably go toward Christmas presents anyway.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

The tale of the XBox as told by Penny Arcade
Prelude...
Does size really matter?
THE Gaming System.
Crisis at home.
Halo is beautiful but boring. This may be fine for a one night stand but not for a video game.
I'm sure the XBox Saga will continue off and on at Penny Arcade. I also wanted to add this one cause I think its funny in an American Home Videos sort of way.
It also demonstrates the feeling you get when you install something you shouldn't have.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.
