Reply To: MasonM Awesome comment! Wouldn't it be unnecessarily complex for Mexican illegals to use spaceships to cross the Rio Grande? Regarding choice of universe: I'm working on moving to an extropic universe where things tend to become more ordered over time. Man, it would be so awesome to have my room clean up itself!
Yeah, I guess you're right about that. I've listened to Rush, and I may disagree with much of his stuff, but he puts on a good show. Air America Radio is trying to accomplish the same for the left. To be honest, a lot of it is screechy, but the 6-9 AM (EST, GMT -5) show is good, as is the one from 7-8 PM.
Reply To: Floozie My wife says I'm available, for the right price. Well, parents are a related, and perhaps more serious issue. They're absolutely convinced everything should come after the welfare of their children. Parents will completely block a sidewalk, a busy aisle at the supermarket, and will give you hostile looks if say "excuse me" to get around them. Also, some parents will let their kids go off and cause all ki
Reply to Sir Peter Maxwell and Mr_Frog: Funny. Wierd and somewhat frightening. But funny.
Reply To: Ashlee Ryder Well, here in NYC, there are enough weird people in any store, that the toy stores seem to be safe for adults. On the other hand, the Toys R Us down the street is such a dump, with lots of stuff littering the floor, that you'd probably not want to hang out there.
Reply To: Draginol Yeah. Kind of the same way, when my wife and I go into the local dog park (she really wants to get a dog), she's worried that the pet owners are watching us, suspiciously.
Parents give me strange looks at the science museum. I can tell they're looking at me. Who is that guy? I don't see any kids with him. Does he want to molest my son? The problem is, I love science museums. I'm fucking insane about the Exploratorium , in San Francisco. They have this incredible holographic scr
Okay, I'm continuing my break from Chasing the Queen Mary 2 . About a week ago, my monitor stopped working. That's not quite correct, because it still does a very good job of making weird clicking sounds when I plug it in, but it doesn't show any image. The clicking sounds kind of scared me; I
I hate slow walkers. Slow walkers are those people who slowly drift along the sidewalk, hallway, or pedestrian tunnel, sometimes listing to the left or to the right, blocking you as you try to get to an appointment, or to work on time. You try to scoot around the slow walker, but they're unaware of their surroundings, never move to let you past,
Anyway, as I was saying, my wife Jennifer, her friend Jeff, and I were zipping across Manhattan to get to the Westside. Our taxi driver was zipping with us, naturally. The start of the ride was a little difficult. With three backseat drivers (well, I was actually in the passenger seat), Cabbie was getting a little frustrated with our contradictory instruction
How funny is that? Okay, I can't take credit for that headline; it's the unofficial slogan of a leading candidate for Congress, Vernon Robinson. He has a hilarious web site: VernonRobinson.com and some awesome radio spots: "The aliens are here, but they didn't come in a spaceship," an announc
Well, I'm back to my blog, after a break of about a week. Sorry, my mood hasn't been that great. I'm having trouble finding work, and the news from Iraq isn't helping my mood. I make a conscious effort to keep my blog from becoming topical, and that was difficult this week. Three or four weeks ago, my wife, her friend Jeff, and I were racing across Lower Manh
In the dark past, I kept a blog at another web site, which will not be named. Well, I went to Brazil, and amazingly blog worthy experiences, and forgot to keep blogging. In the meantime, my old blog site started charging lots of the green stuff. So, I've washed up on the shores of JoeUser. But giving my inherent laziness, and my current battle agains
. No, no euphemism. Or at least I'm not going to say so on a web site. No, seriously, I do make my coffee really strong, stronger than one is supposed to, and I'm drinking on an empty stomach, naturally, after waking up. There's really nothing like that first morning coffee, to shake off the night's cobwebs and make you f
Ronald Reagan, president 1981-1989, has died at the age of 93. He succumbed to Alzheimer's disease after a ten year battle. Let me start with some good memories of Ronald Reagan: - He said one of my favorite presidential lines: "Mr Gorba
Well, you're probably right that the book will be heavily edited. Still, even after the heavy editing, things still seem to come out in these books; such as they did in Richard Clark's. The timing of Tenet's resignation, just before various investigations conclude -- those conclusions apparently reportedly say that the CIA was at fault for much of the poor intelligence before the Second Gulf War -- makes me think there's more than simple job
Well, I really do feel that way. I have to admit, I'm still amazed that I'm married, but I have no doubt that I'm a better man for it.
Well, my wife says that it lasted for a lot more than two minutes in Asia; but that was her trip, not mine. Wait, where's "Joe's Crab Shack"? I'd love to see people do a routine to the Vengaboys!, and I do like crab. I even like Krab (for those who don't know, artificial crab meat substitute).
Really, she was incredibly lucky. But I think there's a message here: God respects those who look for security in their toilets.
For many of us, the bathroom is a refuge from the dangers of everyday life. For this woman, it was much more. From Yahoo News : "With a monster tornado bearing down on her last weekend, Diane Neises sought refuge in the bathroom of her manufactured home and locked he
Sometimes you tell a story, and you forget the most important If you look at my earlier post, you'll see I talk about a strange commercial for the Six Flags Amusement Parks, that plays the circa 2000 Vengaboys' hit (well, at least in Southeast Asian discotechs): "We Like to Party". For me, the importance of that song is the it keeps repeating that "the Venga
Sometimes I get emotional at surprising times. Right now, I'm all worked up about death. I was watching "10.5", the awful disaster movie that was on last night. It's only worth watching if you like watching the Seattle Space Needle collapse, or the Golden Gate Bridge tear apart. Being from the Bay Area, I do. I like to wrap up lose ends. The hard
To my own shock, I remembered that Jennifer and I have been married for one month, as of today. Wow. The month went by quickly, and I still have to take care of various wedding related matters. Such as sending out the remaining thank you notes. Thankfully, my loving friends and family are understanding, and I'm sure they're patient. Anyway, they know I proc
Man oh man, I sure love coffee. Nothing beats a good coffee high. To understand it, picture yourself in the mirror. Now imagine that there's a starry background behind your head. Now imagine yourself fading in and out, mystical like. Finally, imagine yourself saying "The Coffee extends life. The Coffee expands consciousness". Actually, that's the beginning of
Oh, what did Schmitts have to say on this? You're totally right about Tenet and Clooney. Similar hair, skin tone, and circles under their eyes. Actually, Tom Sizemore would be good as Tenet.
