Pretty funny site that put together little animated movies that describe how certain movies should have ended. It is pretty funny. You will need BitTorrent to download the movies. By the way the saving private Ryan one is stupid. but the other two are funny.
Sweet, off to bed.

Cat gNames
Balzak
Memop Shitbag
Steakfoot
Blacky
Dennis (The whole black thing you know)
Ooga Nails (Fitting for kitties)
When he/she gets older: Big Ooga Nails
I am kinda partial to Ry's suggestion: Milo. Good name for a cat. Now if you could just staple some black rim glasses to the kitties head, that would be optimal. Tell Leslie all the kitties are getting plastic surgery done nowadays.
I am still sifting on the Onofre thing.

Hmm..
I haven't run it by the wife just yet, but if I had to place a bet, I'd guess she's not going to be real pro baby in the parking lot camparooskie. That being said, I think she already was checking out some very nearby hotel accomodations.. which would solve our baby dilemma to an extent, but would very much kill the fun-factor of gaming under the stars and all the silliness that would entail. Dang.
I'll think on it some and see if I can't come up with a solution to our collective dilemma.
Right now, it seems that options for the Nikisch family are as follows:
1) Figure out way to either rent a motorhome or RV trailer
2) Hotel/motel
3) Road trip to L.A. for a week or so prior to camping weekend and hang out with everyone as a psuedo-substitute for camping adventure.

So, about the camping...
Okay, so it's not really what you would call "traditional camping" I suppose. Here's the dillio: It's actually more of a long stretch of road that has lots of parking spots, and then at the end of the parking spots is a narrow stretch of dirt that can hopefully accomodate some tents....
This was not known to us when we made the reservations, so fortunately Leslie and Heather drove down last weekend, and found out just what to expect.
The thing is, it would be a great place for some guys to go surfing for the night, but not so much "camping". There is virtually no shade, no hiking, no space, no privacy, and no room. And you are about 50 yards from the 5. Here is a brief description from some website:
The main oceanside campground at San Onofre State Beach is typical of others on the Southern California coast: A long strip of pavement on which RVs and tents are jam-packed, side by side, with their inhabitants drifting to sleep to the roar of the interstate instead of the roar of the ocean waves.
Now, that doesn't mean that we won't make the most of it, and we might even be able to get our hands on a small RV, but what I am saying is that it's not what you would think of as camping. And yes, we are a short walk/hike to the ocean, which is nice to both hang out in and surf in.
So, that being said, my fears are that those of us that are not going to surf, will be bored with playing in a parking lot and sitting in the sun. We are planning on getting a mobile awning, and like I said, maybe and RV, but other than that, I fear the exposure to the sun nonstop may be a bit relentless.
SOOOOOO, based on that long-winded repetitive post, is anyone still interested?!?! Cause we will still make tons of fun despite the terminal sunburns we will undoubtedly all incur!

So yeah, we have another cat. He's all black, rambunctious, and the other cats hate him so far. So, it's up to you guys to name him, or at least come up with some sweet names, cause we are out of ideas after the first two.
Name that cat!
Also, BSG is SOOOOO good! I like it alot!

Yeah but, he's an asshole!
Stealth is the blurst. Iron Eagle III meets Electric Dreams.
Arta-Fart-Choke: We will be moving and should be settled in to our new place in a few weeks. After that we will have a descent place to hang. So you won’t need to rent ye olde roach motel. Save a few bucks too. Public Tranny is pretty good. SF to the Oakland coliseum is pretty easy to do. You never saw my Scientology shrine did you? I collected L. Ron images for about 2 years and collaged them together on my cork board at Pat's office. We even fashioned three-D projections to make him look like he was fishing and wearing WWII SS hats. Those monkeys got Pat to go to one meeting once and never relented on the marketing effluent that poured through the mail slot every day. Its is awesome that in all their literature/marketing pamphlets they never make references or in any way make it known or otherwise readily apparent that he is dead. They have page after page of pictures of him talking with people and giving lectures, all the while wearing one of his many "I'm a Captain of a marine vessel" themed getups. I can not believe a whole religion has spawned out of an average pulp sci-fi authors writings.
Elzar: Its JanKnighice and Ehhhh...Me? Got it, you insensitive clod? No Aimey is right or something. Although ever since you coined Aye Mai when we were bowling, the name has stuck. Aye Mai also helped spawn some Aaron based derivatives, such as Aye Ball, High Ball, and High Mai. Much to her chagrin.

The 1980's version - that's when they reached Earth and it was early 80's los angeles or something. So bad - I remember it though.
Watch the mini-series first. Basically, the series picks up seconds after the mini-series, and it sorta has a "shocker" wow moment at the end that makes watching the series so much better. Yeah, the mini got great response so they picked up the show - it was basically a pilot, I guess. Ya, shit is good! But don't cheat and watch ep 1 until you've seen the mini or you'll spoil shit.

Sentences you would never imagine escaping your lips in casual conversation pre-baby:
"Hey, take this, and clean it up."
"...what the hell is that that on it?"
"...it's diaper ointment. She shoved it in her crotch while I was changing her."
...
Potluck, part deux:
Scientology.. whack job scam artists, yes.
Stealth: Holy Fuck, what a rad ass movie. Coming SOON to a video store near you.
Funny as balls: http://www.toxic.no/php/vis_film.php?id=82
Birthday camping/BBQ: We SO want to come.. but still working out baby logistics. Not quite sure how we'll make that work out just yet.
Aaronious: I'm still planning on coming into town for a Raiders game this fall, you think it would work better for me to try and get a hotel room close to the colliseum, or hang with you guys for a night or two so we can visit, drink and be merry? (I have no functioning knowledge of public transportation).

BSG1980
Hey Rude, based on your suggestion, I too am torrenting the first season of BSG, but I got a question: How does the mini-series fit in with the 'regular season'? I can't figure it out from Netflix. I'm guessing that it comes before, and then when it had a strong response they made the series, so I should Netflix the miniseries first? Or are they the same thing, with different names?
Halp!

Potpourri
Ja -El: Nice to hear from you again. I hope work is treating you well. Happy B-Day. You’re still the baby of the group. Ahhhh.. Little Johnny boy. How Cute! Man that Aaron guy is a jArk! Anyway if you make your way back to the bay area for a bit I would be interested in hangin'. Only caveat is that I will be moving at the end of this month so I will probably be a bit useless until after the say the 28th or so. I also would like to attend Elznatch's B-Day bash the weekend of the 12th-14th.
Jorn: We should chat about big E's b-day soiree.
All: As you may have guessed based on my comment to Johnny Khan I am moving. I will be moving about town to an area closer to the core of the city. In fact, I will be three blocks away from Janis's house. Also the place will hopefully be able to have guests instead of the burnt place we have now. Finally, looks like I will have a real job soon. No more 'I could lose my job at any moment' temp agency work. The pay is okay and the work not the most challenging, but at least the environment is pleasant, the people are nice, I will have a reliable paycheck and probably some descent benefits.
This is my favorite Ultra-Condensed book summary. Brilliant:

From here on out I ignore width comments
Step one: go to "My Account" link on the left hand part of the website, where the other links are.
Step two: The third icon over reads, "Select Theme", click on it.
Step three: From the dropdown menu, you may override the current theme, and return to the old theme, which is called "PostNuke". Click save changes and all your width problems will go away.
Step Four: If the HTML had been posted correctly, then the code would have wrapped around like it should have, and would be no width problems.
Step Five: Make your own blog site with whatever width you like!

BONUS FAT: Remember this? So, so funny.
