Agh! The internet burns!
Okay, I don't know where he got these, or what exactly they are, except they are album covers. Probably from the 70's, apparently Swedish. Everybody thank my drummer Jeremy! For
THIS!
So, I put the Iraq Body Count counter on my page there. Check out the page by clicking on it. It's a cool idea.
Also, check out the
Killing Goliath page. It's a great page put together by smart people who are as upset by this war as everybody should be.
Day one of the war and I feel sick to my stomach
This may be one of the more interesting notes about this war. Even the people paid to support it, can't figure a way to do it. (It's a link to a Salon article, so you may have to sit thru an ad, but it's worth it.)
Completely off the subject (thank god) but this
parody of lingerie models cracked me up hard. Check it out.
So, I'm sure by now you're all familiar with the
'Fredom Fries' incident. Personally, it upsets me to see American politicians taking jobs away from hard working satire writers. The Simpsons needed that material, dammit! Anyway, I'm sure you joined me in thinking that you could have come up with a better name. Here's some suggestions for the senators.
- Frankly American Fries
(stark, powerful)
- Funtastic Fries
(whimsical)
- Fudgy Fries
('cause who doesn't like fudge?)
- Funky Fries
(funky)
- Funky Fresh Fries
(super-funky)
- Funkadelic Fries
(who want's the funk? you? you want the funk?)
- Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Fries
(funky beyond all copyright)
- Salt, Starch, and Pork Fat Delivery Units
(honest)
- Fabulous Fries
(so congress can court that all-important drag queen vote)
- Fatwah Fries
(Allah wants you to have a coronary)
- Fuckin Fries 'n Shit
(for a nation that watches Cops in the hopes of seeing someone they know)
Also, our good congresspersons have taken it upon themselves to print up new menus at the taxpayers expense so that they can now have 'Freedom Toast' for breakfast. Just for the sake of completeness, here are some other things that should be renamed.
- French Kissing - Tounging for Justice
(Freedom Kissing sounds like some sort of NAMBLA thing, so I thought that the congress that listens to GWB say things like "there ought to a limit on freedom" with a straight face would appreciate a little hyperbole.)
- French Letters - Freedom Jacket
(Okay, it's an obscure joke, but I couldn't leave it.)
- Russian Dressing - Cream of America
(Hey the Russians are trying to take our freedom to randomly bomb the shit out of other countries too. Besides, how come their dressing is the only one that tastes good on pizza? Is there some kind of behind the scenes Russian/Italian pact going on here? Congress really needs to get on that. At our expense)
- Croissant - Buns of American Steel
(They're French and nobody can pronounce them anyway. Besides, I think the new name makes a powerful statement about the side of America we're showing the world.)
- Waffles - Grated, Fried Bread....Of Justice!
(I know, waffles are Belgian, but the Belgians sometimes speak French, which is a dead giveaway. And if they're not speaking French they're speaking something called Walloon, which I swear is code for 'Godless Commie Bastards'. Go back to Russia, Belgians.)
- French Juice - American Juice
(No, I've never heard of French Juice either. But wouldn't it be funny if it existed? Yep, we'd sit around the fire and laugh late into the night.)
- Grape Nuts - Gravelly Crap
(Nothing to do with France or the war, but have you ever tried to eat that shit?)
So, in closing I'd like to thank our congress for keeping us safe from the danger of food-based propaganda. Certainly it was a near miss with me. My thoughts were almost perverted into believing someone could disagree with America's leaders and not be sick in the head. And it almost happened because of the
names of food. You just never know where that shit is going to sneak in. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch my special edition dvd of Red Dawn where you can choose what country you want the bad guys to be. I'm choosing France.
Ugh, me no post longtime. And it's late. And I have to get up early. And we're maybe going to war tomorrow. In better news, I've got the really alpha version of my little movie player up. it's
hereCheck it out. I have a little 50 dollar digital camera that takes iimages in rapid succesion. So I built this flash player to show them like a movie. More movies, more features, and a better explanation of the tech soon to come.
