Jason Alexander: A Haiku
That fat, balding man,
By himself at a table,
Eating fried chicken.

im gonna go back in time and terminate da founding fathers!
On Conan last night they did one of those "talking heads" skits with Arnold and it was pretty goddamn funny. I wish there was a transcript somewhere, but arnold was just out of control. Very funny.
Move out? You should have killed that guy.
ADDED: I want a walk-thru fog screen! That is SO fucking cool (watch the movies.)

Calling All Blood Disembowlers
At the con there will be a BB tournament saturday afternoon/evening! Hooray! Details here. Should be fun, no star players, two big guys per team, though I am a bit scared seeing as teams advance like they would during a season, so that means that there can be SUPAR stacked players after one or two games based on MVP and TD status... Teams need to be painted more than three colors and representative of their player. I am thinking about bringing the Altdorf Arsenal, though I don't know if I should go with the Ogre (a la Johnny's FUMBBL starting team) or go with the extra blitzer and higher FF (a la Eric's starting FUMBBL team). Of course Rudy's ass-kicking Norse are an option, but then I have to paint up a whole team by the end of the month = not going to happen.

Yeah. Move out!
- So, why did you cut in front of me? What a prick, I shoulda kicked your ass.
- Chessex Dice? Eh?
- So, that documentary 28 Days Later really hits home, you know? I mean, I miss Mike just as much as the rest of you, but to think he isn't Blogging anymore 'cause he turned into a zombie, or worse, was eaten by a zombie, just really bothers me. Poor Mike. I hope his parents didn't have to take sleeping pills and wine too, even though they live over here. Bloody Bugger.
- Worked a 12.5 hour day today. That makes 34 hours so far, and its only wednesday... Ugh.
- I am sticking to my pro-Convention, pro-Labor Party platform and placing my vote with the only candidate that I feel will listen to my needs and desires, Mr. Terminator! Terminator in '04! Terminate Davis!
- Wow.... Terminate Davis.... You heard it here first!!! I think we should jump on this and be the first to make the bumper stickers and make a few bucks off of idiot Republicans.

A Relaxing Cup of Iced Coffee
Scene I: Jon’s Parents’ Basement
JON: Ah! Work’s over. I’ve got my new D&D book, I’ve got my new Chessex dice... I think I’ll get myself an iced coffee and read!
Scene II: Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Downtown Manhattan Beach
(JON goes to the register. There is a tall, skinny, 40ish, balding man ahead of him, past the register, holding a cup of coffee.)
FEMALE CASHIER [looking at JON]: Can I help you?
(JON waits about ten seconds while looking expectantly at the MAN, who does nothing.)
JON: Um, hi. Can I please have a regular iced co...
MAN: You know I was ahead of you, right?
JON: Oh, I’m sorry, go ahead.
MAN: I’m, uh, ahead of you and you just think you can go first, huh?
JON: Er, no, she came up and said can I help you and you didn’t do anything, so I figured...
MAN: Oh, you figured you’d just go?
JON: Whoa. Dude... you’re... you’re already holding a cup of coffee, so I thought that...
MAN: Yeah, that’s real cool.
JON: Dude. (Fight or flight reflex taking over, staring directly up at MAN.) There’s no reason to act like a... you’re really acting like a jerk for absolutely no reason. I already apologized. Go ahead!
MAN: Jesus Christ. (To CASHIER.) I’m sorry, I just hate dealing with assholes.
JON: Oh, yeah? That’s too bad, since you have to live with your....
MAN: Yeah. Move out!
JON: Huh?
MAN: You’re a real asshole.
JON: Yeah, whatever. We can be assholes together.
MAN: You...
JON: Let go of it.
MAN: You...
JON: Drop it.
MAN: (Handing a few dollars to CASHIER.) Can I have some change?
(She wordlessly gives him change. ASSHOLE leaves.)
JON: Jesus.
CASHIER: Yeah, I don’t know what that guy’s deal was.
GUY WHO LOOKS LIKE A YOUNG TOM ARNOLD: Guy was a little hostile, eh?
JON: Yeah, I....
GUY: That’s why I stay in Hermosa!
So, yeah, that kinda fucked up the evening. Reading and drinking coffee and then walking down to the pier turned out to not be as fun as it could have been. In fact it was rather distracting because I constantly imagined him coming up to me again, and then me grabbing him by the back of his head and smashing him into the guardrails on the pier or smashing his face through the plate glass windows of Trendy Sunglasses.
He’s probably talking to his friends right now: “So this little prick cuts ahead of me in line, and then he tries to apologize! Can you fucking believe it?”
Happy ending
(On the way back, JON walks by Henessey’s and notices that all the waitresses are wearing SCHOOLGIRL OUTFITS.)
JON: Whoo-ey!

"Party Animal," "Convention Time," "Summer School," "Vampires"
Those are the songs that we need! We can totally make a nice cd with them all thru cafepress- or, by burning them ourselves. I have a later-day tape that has songs about: sean nolan, mike dennis, and lizzy; miss henry; diana pedicolas (why was i so mean?) - and a REALLY bad one called "Paul may you run" - what the fuck? LOL - some stupid shit. Definately the Metallica "Black Album" of my career- Those older ones you mentioned are total "Masters of Pupats" style magic. Oh man, I'll be SO fuckin stoaked if you can dig em up for precious rude dog. I'll remaster em and make cds for all.
Jael- call me beatch, so i can help u make the ill musizk! Races Faces!
PS: I'm listening to an old punk session of me, jon, jp, and possibly mike? OMG- pretty intense. LOL.
(its take after take after take after take after TAKE of us all trying to play a bad religion song, "yesterday" maybe? pretty fuckin funny.)
-Cthulhu for President: Why vote for the lesser evil?

enron. you fucker. post a reply before I WinNuke haX0r your ass!

Convention tiem!
Here's my proposal:
1. Me, Jael, Aeryk: go to con for two nights = CHEAP.
2. Me, Jael, Aeryk, Enron: go to con for three night = CHEAP.
or
2. Me, Jael, Aeryk, Enron: go to con for two nights = SUPAR CHEAP
If it's just the three of us, then which nights should we go? Friday n' Saturday? Or Saturday n' Sunday? Or, bizarrely, Friday n' Sunday?
Votes?
The Homestar Runner RPG is pretty damn sweet, Rude. As for the old songs... shit, I don't know where most of them are what with all the re-organizing I did last year. Exception: in my car I have a tape with the following: - "He is my best... droid" song, -"It's all cause of the ice cream... truck" song, -Transformer (2 versions!), -Instrumental for a song I forget what it was supposed to be, -Embarrassing song which we recorded and I sang which is at a way way higher volume than the others so it blows your ears out when you get to it.
I've got "Party Animal," "Convention Time," "Summer School," "Vampires," and maybe a couple of others on a tape somewhere but I have no idea what it was.
Tonight I went with a friend from work to El Torito Taco Tuesday. Tacos for $1 cheap! YUM!

Vacation
- So, why the sudden one week vacation with nothing planned? I thought you were trying to get that promotion at work and couldn't take any vacation days, let alone a WEEK!?!?
- Also, yes, I plan on attending the convention in LA coming up for Labor Day con. I plan on celebrating the British Labor Party at the convention. Jon will go if we can get four people. Me + Jon = 2. 2 + maybedenis = 3, 3 + maybeenronandjael = 5! Hooray! We are going to the con!
- Yeah, we can also host the songs Rudy on this site, I just need a break so that I can get them from you and upload them. Things have been biz-ay. Last night left from a site in Beaverly Hills @ 8pm. Ugh.
- I have an awesome new WWII system called Crossfire. It was being played at Kublacon on the hex table behind at one point I think. Super fun, few rules, NO RULERS, NO SET TURNS. It works kinda like Blood Bowl and/or Warmaster insofar as you can continue your turn until you fail to perform a task successfully (ie you miss a rally roll, fail to at least pin a target you are shooting at, or get suppressed with reactive fire. ) I have been playing it with Squad Leader boards and chits as practice. Seems lots o' fun. I have copied the rules and will send them to Enron and Jael shortly to check out.
- Rockin'

Lot's O' hiking
Officially begins my vacation. Saturday went hiking up in Berkeley somewhere. The hike was in a national park or something. There were nice scenery, other hikers, and wasn't much of a rugged hike. I was imagining steep mountain slopes, yellow sand, scraped knees and hot, scorched earth. Nah... it was like a walk in the park.
Rudy, I got the CD's. Thanks alot! I'll install them tomorrow, and I heard your demo. I can't wait to start messing around with the drum tracks.
