No this is the Quote!
"My Fear is that my children won't understand me." - One of Conan's Henchmen in Conan the Barbarian
If you have not heard the quote in the movie, then you probably would not understand. Those that do remember can never forget the power of the execution. It would be like me acting, while drunk. Brilliant movie though.

Yes! You know what it is don't you boy.
Shall I tell you? It's the least I can do.
Steel isn't strong boy, flesh is stronger!
Look around you.
There, on the rocks, that beautiful girl
Come to me my child..
*girl falls to her death*
That is strength boy! That is power!
What is Steel compared to the hand that wields it? - James earl jones jr. Conan
Rudy with that tacky wig and mad stare has a slight resemblecen of Thulsa doom. Crazy shit! The phrophecy foretold

Return to the Block at Orange
All right, so me and Eric headed down there so that Eric could peruse their selection of games, fine like a selection of fine wines. I also brought the duplicate books I accidentally bought in my frenzy o' purchasing. I traded 'em in for a new board game (Aladdin's Dragons); many game books called me like sweet sirens, but I managed to avoid them. Seeing as I will shortly be paying many hundreds of dollars to go to New York (next Sunday), I think this was probably a wise move.
Eric only spent $69, but he got some sweet booty. He perused, but ultimately passed up, buying like 10 new Formula De boards.
Then we came back here and gave everybody really cool new pictures!!!!!!!!!!!111

Where da party at?
3000 miles to NYC? I can hardly imagine driving there let alone bike. That's just nutzzzzz. Let's say 100 miles a day... 3000 miles.... 30 days of nonstop hemmoraghing of the foot. By the way, How does the cuisine thing tie in? I can't quite figure out the latter half of Aons comments, funny as heck though.
Kabloom looked neat with Steve winwood and a firecracker show at Nine. My parents actually rented a room in SF this weekend. think they had a free coupon or something, sorry I didn't give you a call earlier, but I think I'm stuck at work this weekend with some bullshit stuff. But I'll give you a call later.
I was watching the SUMO wrestling competition on channel 36 TNN or something. Normally Sumo wrestling is broadcasted at around 12 am on some obscure asian channel but this time it was out in Cable! It must be making it's way into the mainstream like YUgio or that Iron chef show. Anyhow, everytime I watch that, it makes sense that sumo's are considered like prized fighters in japan. I mean back in the days when they hardly had enough crap to eat, they bred these huge fat overweight bread rolls to push each other around. So who's the ultimate sumo? some hawaiian mushimora or something, that weighs over 500 lbs. (half a tonnage) nice.

Anyways, here's a stream of the 1st show (1 hour long) OOPS, I MEAN HERE! Anyways, cool music (old Public Enemy, punk stuff, rox stuff) and an interview with Micheal Moore. If you're bored check it out!

'Oh Shit, now he's MAD!'
M Hamderson: I think about you every time I want to tell someone my name is Mike Hunt. It is good to hear all is well in the fair nation of boiled beef and disfigured teeth. Other than car issues, the land of Hemopheliacs ala JP Helms is good. Are you on the crew team or are you in a crew club? If you are on the team that would be epic. We have crew teams practice in the lake in front of our apartments. Kool Partay.
Ulrick: What is the URL for our action team email? Or is it not Web based? In other news bring all your games. That way we can stack them up in the room and have just enough room to sleep in the tub. I do not have any games in mind, just get a good selection of standbys. I have Iron Dragon, Honor of the Samurai, Rosinkonig, Giganten (Not that you will play it... Fucker!), Acquire, Ricochet Row Butt, Butt Pirateer, GOOTMU!, Stale Baron, & Circvs Maximvs. If Denish trys to back out, kidnap him. Jon too. Three cheers to the sweet banner pix. Seeing Genital Con is quite inspirational.
Johnny: Whatcha got to bring?
Rhuebarb: Ron is a crazy mo' fo'. That is really hot if he does go through with a X-country bike ride with the mrs.iz. You know a lot of italian cuisine is a asian, african, roman, greek fusion anyway. So it is not to far fetched... Or something.
Yee Ha! Jester is dead

Rice Balls, mmm
I was just watching a Tommy Tang cooking show and he was making these rice balls that looked SO good. It was wierd though they seemed very italian (some of the ingredients) but whatever- fuck, looked tasty!
Mike: Google bought out Blogger, so I think they're trying to say "oh, we're not gonna change too much!"
Eric: Nice new look to the site! Cool pics n stuff. XL shirts that fit like a L suck! I usually get XXL, but then they're too long for me. You're tall, so I asume you need the xxl for the length.
Arron: If you moved back here you wouldn't EVER lock your keys in your car again!
Oon/Jael: ...
Heard back from Ron, and he said he and his wife would be biking to New York! omg, that seems like a long bike ride.

Good To Hear the MAnderson
- Good to 'hear' your 'voice'! I can change your image if you want, infact, I think I may just change EVERYONE'S while I'm at it! Hooray!
- Leslie has been hit with 2 more checks from the Identity Bandit, all under $500, and they both were from Texas (the state that keeps giving). IN related news, since we have to send SO much crap via fax to these companies when they send her a dishonored check notice, we are now the proud new parents of a Canon Image Class D680 copy, fax, printer.
- Jon, I think two things a) I would like to go to the Block and spend like a fool too, and b) hopefully the reason you are not going to Kubla is because you are going to be out of town, right? Not because you are strapped for cash, cause if it's a strapped for cash issue, I'm gonna be pissed that you bought so much GURPS and yet won't go to Kubla.....
- You know, we are probably never going to play a role-playing game together again?
- Action Team Email is available, and has been for some time if anyone is interested. Infact, the only emails that have been created were everyone's character's names from Beyond the Mountains of Madness. Alexander.Smoxacock@theactionteam.org..... yes sir'ee.... (Just kidding Enron, it's actually alexander.sudstrom, but still). I think the passwords to use the account are everyone's first name and that's it, if you want to check them out!

So what DOES This Google Thing Mean, Anyway?
Have you noticed that on the top of the Blogger page when you log in? As if someone using Blogger wouldn't know what Google was... or maybe I missed the point. Whatever. So, I've been out of the loop yet again, but what else is new? I come back to find a detailed report on Jhn's suppositories and Enron's car trouble. I'm eager to find out if my picture has been changed too, Aeryk
In other news, nice job on the website background image changer. Good job I took all those pictures at GenCon, hurrah (NB not Huzzah!) for digital cameras.
Ok, now its time to stretch out my tired old muscles.

A first...
I went to a coat store to look for a replacement for the stolen one. I didnt find anything, but Aimey was still looking and I was dead tired. I told her I was going to nap in the car for 5 minutes. Well after a brief nap I came back into the store, without my keys. D'oh! So i managed to lock my car keys (In the ignition), apartment keys, and Aimey's apartment keys in the car. My roommate was not home, so no getting my second key at home. D'oh. The most agrivating part is that I have Honda Care (roadside assistance program) and I could not find the phone number. I tried the 800 number lookup (1.800.555.1212) and they have an automated system that kept giving me Omni Care, Honda Canada, and Cape Cod somthing or other Numbers. NORMALLY, I would look at the sticker in my window for the number. But it isnt there.. Why isnt it there you may ask? Because that was the window the theives broke out that few weeks back. Great. So, a friend of mine came and helped me scour the parking lot for someone with a Honda Care sticker. I looked at over 50 hondas. No luck. But the second dealership that I called did give me the 411. All in all a 2 hour ordeal. Took the tow-truck guy 30 seconds to select the Jimmy best suited for the job and 5 seconds to open the car(Not shitting you). All that an still no coat.
Jhan: I think you went a bit overboard. I bet you could have come to SF and KooblaKhan with that much money... Plus you would have avoided buying so much GUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPSS! GURPS money vacuum. Good to hear it was only a 'roid. Blood + Anus can often = Bad News Space Cadet. Ohh.. I like the comparison of the (Good News It's a) suppository to a .357 magnum bullet. COme on Jon you have to come to KoolBla Khon.
Elrock: I am shocked and Amazed. Sweet images so far.
Ja-El: Hey you want to go to Kaboom tonight. I will try calling you but I do not know what time you ass is getting up today. SO if you get this before I call you, give me a ring.

Update
- It's quite alright Ra-el, I was just remembering fondly the "threats" I recieved from the last site you linked an image to, heh heh. Those guys were funny!
- Anyhoo, I am free saturday to game or xbox or whatever, give me a ring.
- Added a random image script to the blog page so hopefully I'll start adding some images that will shock and amaze you all.
- As much as I loved Enoto and Enron's images before, I stumbled across these gems and had to change their images without warning and with total disregard for their opinions on the matter. These are jsut too great to pass up.
- Also, I purchased a few weeks ago a "Get Your War On" T-Shirt to support that guys stuff. Good find Ra-el! The shirt is an XL but fits more like an L... either that or I am now an XXL.... ugh....

sniffle, sniffle
Thanks for the kind words and the description! I guess there's also a prep-h cream that comes in a tube, right? Thats all I've ever seen- I didn't know about the thingy-you-put-in-your-buttocks. Cool! I'm going to play a solo game of "thehun.net" right now and then cry myself to sleep.
Also: New GetYourWarOn. "Is our president still flying around in an S-3B Viking? I need to know how much longer to bang my head against this here wall." Heh

Cheer up Rudy!
I thought the coffee picture was funny. How could we know it was trying to give our computers delicious cookies?
Anyway, a Prep H suppository is almost exactly the size and shape of a .357 revolver bullet. Its ingredients are: cocoa butter, sharkskin oil, and some medication I don't remember. So what you do is, you jam it up your MC1, and at first it feels pretty weird. Kinda like you jammed something into your arse. But over about half an hour or so it disintegrates.
The instructions say to use up to 4 per day, after you poop, but I just used the one and the problem went away. Guess if I take a big one they could reopen though.
I remember now that a few days ago, I took the biggest crap I ever took in my life. That could have set it off.
OK, I'm going to play a 1-man game of Carcassonne, then bedtime!

The Big Coffee Cookie
Sorry Rudy, had to delete the coffee guy, the site you linked to (which has brought lots of ire in the past from previous linked images...) was trying to force cookies on the kind and good citizens of The Action Team, and we can't have that. So to answer your inquiry Jon, the cookie came from that double agent Ra-el and his site linking! Bastard!

So...
So, when you take a crap, do you first dig in there and retrieve the suppository, or is it something you replace with each poop? And, what is it made of? Is it like a sugar-pill or is it plastic?
Cool looking book Hacking The X-Box. I wish I was a hacker- I wouldn't even wanna try and be one now, but I wish I would have gotten into it when I was like 9 or something. *sigh*

Something is asking for a cookie on this site
I've got my cookies set to ask, and every time I load this page "wunderkammer.org" wants to put up a cookie. What up with that, yo?
Shit update
Ever since jamming the suppository into my ass, the rectal bleeding appears to have stopped. I'll let you know if the situation changes, though!

Didn't catch a call from you... if you want to post again tonight, or e-mail me, I'll be around.
If you're asking whether I'm up for another RPG run, I'll go along with you tomorrrow and be your native bearer if you want... I'm just not going to bring my wallet.

NEVAR FORGET 8/11!
That was one of the best Jeff K jokes ever. Anyways, this is pretty interesting- lots of people will say "oh, stupid conspiracy theories" but this is pretty factual and kinda wierd: Bush Timeline on 9/11. Go Lakers!

What in the fuck is the...
Block at Orange??? Anyways, if youre out being a travelling man tomorrow, maybe you can hangout with me and JP! Hmmm. He might be in South Dakota, or that might have been last weekend. It WAS last weekend. So, I don't speak for him, but if he wants to hangout, I will too! Prep-H! They got a generic brand of that shit(heh) at the 99cents Only store- I saw an old man buying it when I was there earlier.
Leeg
Shit, I don't remember what my last issue is, but it came out before Christmas! And I remember them saying they had no release date for the next issue- so I think I may have already fallen an issue behind? I remember the end of the last one I had, *SPOILERS* invisible man was bad and maybe he raped/beatup the vampire lady (dumb movie, omg sux!)*SPOILERS END*
Here's another *SPOILER*
you will die alone!
(Just watched that Triump skit again recently.)

RPG Day, or: Sad, Yet Glad
We take a break from Cap’n Shitbeard’s Shit Log to relate the following anecdote of my thoroughly worthless, yet materialistically fulfilling day:
I decided to go to Third Planet today because I’m interested in buying that board game, Carcarssonne. It’s only $20, and it’s supposed to be great, so.
On the way over, I thought, boy, I wonder if the new Dungeon is out? Also the new League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? (Note: it has been 4 months since the last issue of League came out.)
At Third Planet, they had the new Dungeon! And the new League! I was psyched. But no Carcassonne. So, I decided to stop by Game Keeper in the Del Amo. When I got there, no Carcassonne. But! The guy at the shelf told me that all the WoTC RPG stuff was 40% off, and all the non-WoTC RPG stuff was 70% off! GK doesn’t have a huge selection, but enough that I felt like a kid in a candy store and got that crazy, excited, ultimately kind of sickly feel you get from pure consumption.
So I ended up buying: Spycraft, GURPS Steam-Tech, Chaos Magic, and 2 copies of Champions (I figure my HERO-loving pal Blackheart will be into it). $150 worth of stuff for like $40!!! It was awesome. In fact, the guy said that all the Gamekeeper stores and WoTC stores are having this sale. So, since I’m not working tomorrow, I thought I might wander down to the Block at Orange....
The New League
the new League is really cool. Anyone else reading this (Rude)? The scene with Hyde and the Invisible Man disturbed the shit out of me. This series hasn’t been as balls-out awesome as the first one... the first 3 issues were a little weak in my opinion, but 4 and 5 have totally redeemed the series. I still think the League doesn’t actually -do- enough about the Martians, since they’re reacting rather than acting, but the interparty stuff in the last 2 has been really interesting. And there’s a cameo by a character from one of my favorite Disneyland kiddie rides, so that’s cool too.
Moore is mighty erudite about 18th-19th century fiction, but I’m really not crazy about all the pure text at the end of these issues. Bring on the pitchers!
Good news, it's a suppository!
I talked to my pops about the bleeding anus and he said it sounded an awful lot like the Petersen Family Hemorroihs. So today I experienced the wonders of first-time Preparation H suppository insertion. Ah, the joy of shoving a cocoa-butter slathered, bullet-shaped pill into your bottom, then realizing that you haven't shoved it far enough... the unsettling feeling of walking around feeling vaguely like Ryan in Jackass with the RC car up his ass... yes sir, these are the salad days.

HELLO BOSS ®
Review: HELLO BOSS COFFEE CA PHE SUA CAPPUCCINO drink
Man, the 99cents Only store is pretty sick. They got some super-cool things you can find there, along with tons of fucking shit. One thing that's not shit is these 12oz coffee drinks from the fine folks at HELLO BOSS. You get 2 for 99cents, and they've got different flavors: cappuccino, french roast, expresso. They taste pretty much like the starbucks frappucinos, but for like 1/3 the price. Plus, they've got this fucked-up looking picture on them of some cracked-out looking super-mario with this crazy smile and a cup'o joe. Good shit! I was a little afraid, so I only bought 2- I know I'll be back for more!!!!

FUN KNEE
I hope you're ok dude! But, at least you've made me laugh one last time. The only time my ass has ever bled was from the lack of "roughage" so I'd have to sit there and wipe for like 10 minutes, and eventually I'd wipe away some of my skin, thus bringing about a small gush of blood. Anal-Sars? Go get a check-up!
Etc
Oh, yeah- forgot that I also saw a Hulk preview that looked pretty sweet. This new Hulk is pretty freaky looking! But there was a rad part where he was twirling a tank around in the air which was cool. Also, I liked when Wolverine was cutting up those special-ops guys- was he that violent in the 1st movie? I know hes ultra-violent in the comix, but he seemed kinda pussed out in XJuan.

Kublacon and My Back
We need to discuss a few things regarding good ole Kubla:
- I wish it were BOOBlacon, but that's not going to happen, unless Spandex Woman shows up.
- I think Denis will be out of school by then and will be attending as well. This is all conjecture as I have not spoken with him in probably over a month. But in an email I think he mentioned that he would be back on the D&D boat mid May, which means school will be out for him. Last I heard, he is into it.
- Battle Cry Miniatures is not going to happen in time. Just too much life happening around me to focus on any one thing anymore. But it will happen. Until then, the casualty counters will enrich out games greatly.
- What should I bring up? All the PBI stuff is a given, and Blood Bowl, but what else should make the trip with me? Warmaster? XBox? All my shoes and glasses?
Also, I pulled a muscle in my back at work today. My monitor is to my left and I constantly need to turn my head to look at it, which has inturn jacked my back up... I smell workers comp. lawsuit...... i hate being old, out of shape and inflexible... but at least there is no blood in my ass....

Funny
While I do enjoy the salty dog-ish accounts of your apparently highly vascular feces, I think its about time to go back to your friendly neighborhood doctor and see whats going on in your nether regions. Of course, that is just an opinion, and you know what they say about opinions, everybody's got one or something?
Speaking of vascular, perhaps you are actually giving some form of birth to new, more evolved, super-SARS creatures? Their alien plan is to start below the ground in the sewers and Davey Jones' locker and work their way up all the way to the top in Donald Trump's Penthouse, and finishing with the Man in the Moon and all his green cheese. We are doomed. Jon is the bringer of all our dooms.
Shut him out of your lives if you want to live, I beg of you!

Ahoy, mateys! This were a fine shit, full o' blood and chum emerging from me fine booty. Arter a dry period o' no grue in the guano, this were a fine find, wit' a mighty cloud o' misty blood deposited into the bowl along with me fecal treasure! Each o' me three wipes brought up a beautiful, ruby-red trove o' me fiery liquid! When t' fourth wipe came up clean, I flushed the whole mess down to Davey Jones' locker!
5/7/03, 9:48 PM
Arr! This poo were accompanied by a fine pain in the bowels, the likes o' which any sailor likes to see! The blood that accompanied me shit in this partic'lar bowl were a beautiful color, like a fine French wine worthy o' being drunk off the tits of a Paris whore! Aye, the delicate vintage of me anal spray were fine and glorious. Arter I hosed down the porcelain bowl wi' the geyser of me steaming man o' cunt, I were rewarded wi' many fine toilet squares worth o' bloody excreta afore I mailed the entire package to Poseidon himself!
No soul, Rudy? No soul?
X2 had SOME soul. Not a lot! But some. I like in that these movies the actors take the characters pretty seriously, and they're pretty internally consistent, and I liked how things linked up with the last one. I watched the first one again (slow time at work) and I think it was both enhanced by the second movie, and also it enhanced the second movie. (It's kinda weird that Storm lost her accent between the first movie and this one... no great loss, though.) I thought Nightcrawler totally had soul! Although he had very little screen time. Most of the characters did little screen time really. I guess that was the biggest problem... so many characters. But, it was good. What I hope is that the next ones focus on fewer characters. Everybody seems to be hoping for "spin-off" movies focusing on a couple char's... that would be cool. I'd like to see more about Rogue, she was always my favorite in the comics for some reason, although Anna Paquin is sort of disturbingly squirmy.
Cyclops is SUPER LAME. Was he that debil in the comics? I never read very much X-Men, so I'm not sure. (Also... was Magneto the leader of the X-Men for a while? Or was that the West Coast Avengers or something like that?)
I guess Alan Cummings is Ryan's alias, because if you painted Ryan blue (and who hasn't) he would look EXACTLY like Nightcrawler looks in this movie. It's kind of chilling actually. I kept expecting Nightcrawler to put on an FYP album.
The end of the movie was too long. Everything after Wolverine's big fight was kind of a letdown, methinks.
Magneto is super rad, "Fag-neto" jokes notwithstanding. He needs to get a proper base though, in X1 and X2 he's always hanging around small locales with like 2 other mutants, and he doesn't look like a super-villain, he kind of looks like a sad loner. You know, kind of like me.
No, you got your blood in my chocolate!

Matrix
Hey! Lets all go to one of the showings at midnight the night before it opens! DOOOooOOoOOoOOOOoooOOo iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttTTtTTTTTtttT!
Nice Website
This is pretty random, but while I was purusing CafePress (maybe I'll make some cool stuff for my site if I figure things out a lil more) I saw this cool site: www.josefudge.com . They used it for an example of some shit they were selling, but yeah- dude, I'm loving the webdesign. Can't say I'm into the actual SITE (its about some cartoonist?) but I really like the interfaces 'n stuff like that. I like sites that always "fit" - I hate having to scroll down for anything! ;)

How do I post links again?
Can somebody repost the instructions? I'd really like for people to go check out
this right here...
(Bush Cites "The Last Starfighter" as Incentive for Entering Politics), but I know people can't be bothered to highlight the link, they need to actually just click on the button.
Hey Aaa-taxo-cab-ron, do hemhreoids really cause you to bleed like that? I was kind of wondering if that's what was going on. My last bowel movement had way less blood than before, so maybe the problem went away. I will update this web site with the details of each shit, as it happens.
Sorry about your tree Eric. Of course, I think I actually went into that backyard maybe once, so I don't remember the tree, but it sounds pretty great.
I will leave you for today with these stirring words from one of my favorite rap artists:
You come into my house,
Eatin' all my shit.
So get the fuck out,
You sorry-ass bitch.

More bad news... What's worse is Aaron's right!!
I accidentally made a hotel reservation for Koooblacon. Oh well, Aaron have fun staying at kublacon without a hotel reservation. Elrick can keep you warm or there'll probably be a few pieces of the San mercury times news you can use.
Elrick - I felt the same way moving out of our hermosa house. For 20 years it served as a Summer Home, then my Jr High home, then some college kids lived in it, and then it served as our home again. I went through 1 bike accident, 1 bloody brawl, 3 confirmed sighting of Black widow spiders, countless Ant Eradication-by-pesticide missions, 1 broken garage door, and 1 case of bums living below our house.
Joke Corner:
Q: Why do Saab's have rear-defrosters?
A: To keep your hands warm while you're pushing them..! ha-ha
(P.S that was a very funny post by Aron)

Depresso-Ville
So my dad called and told me that the new owners of our old house just removed the kick ass eucalyptus tree from the backyard. We have estimated that the tree was planted in 1960, and since it's a eucalyptus tree it has a strange acid like substance that kills vegetation around it that is not also eucalyptus, it will be chipped and either a) sent to the dump and wasted, or b) laid out on the green belt in Manhattan for way too rich people to run on. Either way, a depressing end to a great tree that my old cat Sasha used to climb, that Barney, Leia and Amber used to sharpen their claws on, that used to hold my great treehouse, that provided a hiding place within the bark for my hidden stash of lighters and firecrackers, that provided long strips of bark for building tree-villages for Star Wars or GI Joe figures, that also provided huge bark swords for JP and I to attack each other with, that also doubled as a great apartment complex for countless birds and their nests through the years. And best of all, by blocking out all the sun in the backyard, it made sure nothing else would grow anywhere near it, not to mention the acorn caltrops it used to drop all over the yard the the neighbors yards.
I am sad.

Sex-Men: Unanaled
Yeah, saw it tonight. A friend paid my way, keeping that in mind, can't say that I was supar-dissapointed. It was alright. Alan Cummings (sp?) as Nightcrawler ruled! The LA Weekly had a good review about it saying that it totally lacks SOUL. I agree. It was still pretty fun, but I'm forgetting it already. Dudes: Hows MAtrix gonna be? Oh man, I HOPE its good. I just rewatched no. 1 , and the thing I think I liked most about it is that as you watch the movie, youre constantly "discovering" new shit. Now, since we already know about the Matrix and all that shit, hows this new movie gonna be as good. Ah whatever. I don't care THAT much.
Saw this really good preview for this FUCKED up looking zombie movie called "28 Days Later" (i think.) It says its from the guy who did Trainspotting and all that shit, and it looks REALLY pretty fucking scary. Also saw that League preview- dumb. *sigh*
Yeah, saw it tonight. A friend paid my way, keeping that in mind, can't say that I was supar-dissapointed. It was alright. Alan Cummings (sp?) as Nightcrawler ruled! The LA Weekly had a good review about it saying that it totally lacks SOUL. I agree. It was still pretty fun, but I'm forgetting it already. Dudes: Hows MAtrix gonna be? Oh man, I HOPE its good. I just rewatched no. 1 , and the thing I think I liked most about it is that as you watch the movie, youre constantly "discovering" new shit. Now, since we already know about the Matrix and all that shit, hows this new movie gonna be as good. Ah whatever. I don't care THAT much.

Sadly...
This will be most unpopular with Johnny. In unfortunate news I can not attend Koooblacon.
ELdicK: I dont care about your stoopid Blood Hole game. Jerk, you trying to put us in hell? I still do not know how I feel about the Shitey Dick Dugglers. I mean they have knocked out two of the most reviled Kings post-season rivals AND they are the cinderella underdogs. Yet it is still the mighty Fucks... Such a dichotomy.
Jon: You better have that checked out. It could be ulcers, collitus(sp?), or 'roids. D'oh. Then again it could be Fruit Punch Kool Aid. Did you taste it?.
Johnny: American express is kinda nice except... Well there is that part where you have to pay it back every month. You have to be careful with those cards. Hope you have fun @ Koooblacon.
In other news, I have registered for one Kublacon and took Memorial day(26th) off from work. Hope fully this is the one Elrock registered for. Too bad for JawhhhhhKnee Thyme. I think he registered for the wrong con. At least Elrich n' I can have fun. Actually I have been very much looking forward to the KhunVhenShun Thai uM. Is sir Denish going to make it? When are you coming up? You bringing yo wU-mon? I noticed jOn pussed out. Oh, my NY pussy hertz. No, seriously he will be there with us in spirit. Just joshing you Jon. I hope you do enjoy your time in NY and maybe you will find a place to live.

Blood Bowel
No, this isn't a reference to you and your Bloody Bowels Enoto, it was just a simple typo is all....
I found TEH GREASTEST Blood Bowl League Manager spreadsheet out there!! EVAR!!!! The guy who made it is nuts, it's the total pakage all rolled into one sheet: it has rosters, team rankings, player rankings, a schedule maker, and most of it is automated so it would be SO easy to run a league... for me.... to play in.... by myself.... and..... against.... my....

American Express Blue Card
No annual fee, up to 5% cash back. I think it's a good card. I'm getting one to see how they can afford to give me 5% cash back on all my purchases. If you guys want to check it out go to American express.com.
Aaron is fo shure goun to the kon. I'm basically just going to take that as a given and commanding it as a higher ranking officer. No if ands/ors Buts. KOOOBLACON is going to be SOOOO RAD! We have miniatures WWII, Battle cry miniatures, War Cry card game, Acquire.... yay
Jon, as for as rectal bleeding, I would go check out the free medical diagnosis websites like WEBMD.com... I had this before and it worried me for a bit because I had PMS from my ass for about 2 weeks. I didn't get pregnant though. I think it's stress and then went away. However, rectum bleeding can be indicators of other diseases and such. You should quit shoving those gerbals up in there Richard.. er... jon or quit playing the anal faery game with dildo collection.
Raise/Promo: It was kinda downplayed, I didn't get the promo that I was looking for. I will however, still be getting the raise that is only a fraction of inflation. Yay corporate america. I have a good feeling though, somewhere down the line, I'll get something.
Saw Anger Management this weekend. Nice movie, Adam sandler grew up a little, some very very adult humor (not recommended for kiddos) and I thought Jack nicholson was brilliant. Critics are complaining about bad directing, acting yadayada yada yada... Look.... it's not an Oscar winning movie. Nothing in there was filmed brilliantly. Nothing made sense. Concepts were used before, yada yada yada yada. But it was funny, take it with a grain of salt.

I Think You Are Exciting, or You Excite Me
- One or the other, you choose....
- Rdub, true, the Ducks game was great. You should have come on over and enjoyed it with some leftover Pacifico from the Sunday night game-o-feast-o-bloody-ass-o-rama! Oh well, there is always next series. And surfing with Byars, perhaps this weekend? I don't have ANY plans of right now, so we should charge saturday AND sunday morning! I'll try and remember to call Byars. Hopefully we don't beef it on any waves. To the max!
- Jael, how did the raise/promotion go? We never heard the verdict on that one, which probably means by asking I am rubbing salt into your open wound of promotion rejection, but at least I am showing interest in your life, right? Also, are you still in for Kublacon? Yes? Terrific!!!!
- CafeBrudeats, you can edit the CSS sheet by downloading it and messing with the Hex Colors to better match your site's scheme. Yeah, there are some erroneus entries on the sheet, thats the fun! You get to find the ones that apply and the ones that don't! Also, as far as the Javascript calling goes, it was either there for something yet to be added or left over from something that was removed. If you haven't noticed I like to cut and past headers and whatnot. It helps speed the process ups and also helps me forget how to do fundamental HTML stuff, which is great when you are under the gun trying to throw a quick site example up while the boss is watching.... Also, nice picture!
- Enron, at work we are looking to automate some of my busy work everyday so that I can be better used in other arenas. So we need a database that can extract some information from log files that will tell us if certain kiosks are a) on, b) generating revenue, and c) need some tender loving technical assistance. That is why I am axing you aboot database schtuffen. Also, are you still in for Kublacon? Please say yes....
- Enoto: I played another Battlecry:Battle game with myself last night, the first one in the book that has the fences (not feces). 6 - 5, SO many bodies on either side of the fence. Try it out. Use pennies and dimes as counters. DO IT!!!!!

Blood and Gangrene
Ah yes, yesterday was the day of Enoto Almost, But Not Quite, Winning Games:
1. BARELY lost the Jackson Campaign. (Eric: how dare you forget the name of "Stonewall" Jackson! Sir, you shall regret your impudence, and will be fired upon by many volleys from our Leech Cannon!)
2. ALMOST didn't totally get my ass kicked at WarCry.
3. ALMOST won Cribbage. Cribbage is some exciting shit! Me and Eric were tied at 89 points, playing to 90, and it came to his dad's turn, and his dad passed, and then Eric needed an Ace to win, and he had one! I love Cribbage! I remember playing it against my dad's friend C.B. (aka Mr. Burdick) in Mexico when I was 9 and thinking it was teh sh1t, and then never playing it again. IT WAS JUST AS GREAT AS I REMEMBERED!!!
My only out-and-out victory came when I stole some chicken from Eric's dad.
The not-so-great part of the day came when I abruptly woke up at 3:30 AM with that kind of weird paranoia you get when you wake up and can't fall asleep again, for reasons you don't fully understand. I couldn't sleep again until 5:00. The not-so-great part of today came after taking a dump when I wiped and there was beautiful red blood all over the tissue. That's not a good sign, is it? There wasn't any blood in the poop because then the poop would be black instead of brown, and it looked normal. So I concluded that something around my brown eye is fissured. Does that sound right? I haven't stuck anything in my ass lately. Has anybody ever had a bloody butt before?
Oh, and I would also hasten to add that entering the words "bleeding rectum" into Google will produce numerous results, but few of them will be medical-based.

All My Dreams, Realized!
So Enoto and I finally had it out with our own civil war, I, fighting to force the South to return to my wing and rejoin the Union, Enoto, fighting to keep his way of life free from unwanted economic sanctions. We fought out the GenCon Campaign Pamphlet: The (insert forgotten generals name here) Campaign. One much needed and enjoyable addition to the game was our use of casualty counters. I would HIGHLY suggest Enron and Jael (and even Motorbykes Womans and her roommate's games) use these counters, we just used black and red glass counter, a la Magic the Gathering Tapping counters. When the battles were over, it was quite imressive to look at the mounts of bodies all over the place.
Anyhoo, there were three battles. Enoto trounced me during the first with his unrelenting push of assault cards up the middle, while I could onle whimper and attempt mild responses with skirmishes from the flanks; final score 5 - 1, Confederates (there were special victory guidelines). The second battle proved more pitched and left the battlefield just absolutely littered with casualty counters, I BARELY eeked out a victory with a failed finishing move of Enoto's that left him open and required me to have the perfect card to reply, which I did; final score 6 - 5 Union. The final battle had the Union down by a cumulative score of -3 and required me to win the battle with a 6-2 victory to win, and a 6 - 3 to pull even and call the day a draw. As it ends up, Enoto FINALLY had a few bad rolls and some bad card draws that allowed my adequate cards and rolls to pull out the 6 - 3 victory, making the day of massive casualties a practice in futility because no one ended up winning, but does anyone really win when it comes to war?
Also, Oon played War-Cry with me, the Warhammer Fantasy Battle CCG, and had fun! It was a fun game! Also, some Cribbage, some Pacifico, and a huge meal cooked by Leslie had something to do with the evening... all in all, a great day.

I cater to the -100 %
Thanks for the explanation- thats funny, cuz I was all "screw 600, I'll make mine even tighter by making all my things 500 pixels across!" Oops. Back to the drawing board.
ADDED: Ok, go check out my site HERE. I only put shit in the 1st 2 menu choices, but see if I did it right (think I did.) thanks.
GLAD YOU LIKED X2 JON. Haven't seen it yet- kinda wanna see it but I'll prolly just wait till MAtrix Too for my next theater partay.

Orange Julius, rulius
600 pixels, or there abouts is sort of a standard. The deal is that 600 is the size that is the lowest common denominator. AT one time the largest number of users had 640x480 set as there monitor default and they either didnt know how to change it or wanted it that way. Now a days I think only 7% or so of users are still using 640. The largest percentage is 53% with 800x600. The question is do you want to excluded or at least alienate the 7% and design a better page for users with 800+ width. Those stats are a couple years old. People have better hardware now and are more savvy with comps. Personally I am begining to feel that catering to the 7% is getting a bit old and they need to be pushed along. So to make a long story short, go with your gut. I still stick with ~600, but I think I am going to can the idea soon given the limited numbers of 640 users. Also consider the market, overseas typically has computers a generation older or more, except western europe which is only half a gen behind. The reason for 600 and not 640 is to make up for any side toolbars, scrollbars, and other crap that may chew a small percentage of your horizontal width up.
The reason eLrockinator is able to change only the middle portion of the page is that he uses IFRAME. IFRAME SRC="merchandise_list.html" HEIGHT="325" WIDTH="415" FRAMEBORDER="0" is a tag he uses in the middle of a TABLE TD Tag... SO it is like traditional frames but a little more confined and less HTML. Check his source out for the two frames. They are nearly identical for the weblog portion and the merch portion. Only real difference between the two is the SRC call. One uses merchandise_list.html and the other uses blog.html. Then he has two html pages made up for the center portion of each page or the IFRAME portion.
L Jon Peterwoodington III the pillow case comment was quite funny and unexpected. Three cheers.

PS the numbers I gave above are nearly 2 years old. The real stats I think are closer to 3% are 640x480 now. I can not seem to find that stats anymore.

Aron- thanks, almost!
J/k- thanks for the css tip. So, I put that in, and now I get that orange color font and a few other things, but heres where I'm hitting a bump in the road: When you click on the Merch link, for example, instead of it opening in the window like the Actionteam site, mine opens it in a new page. I want to keep that main window always loaded, and i just wanna change whats in the middle screen. Hmm...
ALSO: i notice a lot of things are 600 pixels wide- is that a standard width, or was that just Elrawx's decision?

Random stuff
I kinda had yesterday to myself, so I went and saw X2. It was pretty cool! Basically, if you thought the first one was good, this one's a little better than that. The first scene (with Nightcrawler) is -awesome-. The movie flags a little at the end (it's 2 hours 15 minutes, which is like 45 minutes longer than the last one).
Was Deathstrike an asian lady in the comix? Is she even a real character? I didn't read as much X-Men as I should've.
There was a trailer for the next Matrix which looks really cool, and one for the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen which looks ghey. Allan Quatermain is the leader? Mina Harker is a half-vampire? Gimme a break.
Interestingly, the audience at the theater (Manhattan Beach theater at the mall) was like 80% black. I remember going there as a kid and there was hardly anybody who wasn't white there. Sign of the times I guess. It was cool but I regretted wearing my white pillowcase hat.
Modern moviegoer etiquette continues to impress me. I think people are getting better about cell phones, but bringing 2-year-olds into movies for older folk is not so smart. One particulably great lady had a baby who was talking/crying through the whooooole movie, and with about 30 minutes left to go, after several choruses of "shhh"s, she stood up and took the baby outside. As she did, she said to the kid, "Shut up. Shiiiit." Parent of the Year!
So, hopefully I am to play BattleCry vs. General Hessel today. I'm pretty excited! I've played several practice rounds vs. myself (so far the Union is ahead of the game, despite brilliant tactical play on the parts of both armies). Even setting up is fun! Sometimes I just set up, and then put it away again. I'm just sad that I had to actually purchase the game to learn how to play it. Eric and Aaron would never teach me how, but maybe now that I know the rules they'll play with me.

Rudy... CSS an Javascript
The Action Team CSS that eric used is for borders on tables and font refinement for the different bits of text. I.e. orange text HREF's etc... The actionscript I can not pull up. It seems that Elricavich put a link to a non-existent file. Probably intended on making one and decided not to, ran out of time, or it was part of the old Action team 1.0 and he never got rid of the call. In Elrics other sites that I have seen him use Javascript mostly for image swapping, i.e. image rollovers and pop-ups.
Nothing like an Gyro from the net. Yummmmm Cucumber sauce and lamb....
I like Orange
