Brocksmith is a Kanadian wannabe.

Quake

Let's look at that word and what it means.

Quake \ˈkwāk\ intransitive verb 1 : to shake or vibrate usually from shock or instability 2 : to tremble or shudder usually from cold or fear

Quake \ˈkwāk\ noun : an instance of shaking or trembling (as of the earth or moon); especially : earthquake

Quake was a groundbreaking FPS in the mid to late 1990s. It was immediately followed by QuakeGL which allowed for 3d cards to be used in a FPS for the first tme. It was subsequently followed by a number of sequels. I love Quake.

In the midwest, we have a slight quake and we make a huge deal about it. It's the second coming, it's the apocalypse.

Kalifornia just had a pretty big shaker and they call it a "drill for the big one." They could really care less. In fact, they were making fun of the tourists who were totally freaked out by it. Speaking of Kalifornia, they're on fire again. And STILL not screaming for FEMA! Hows about that?

Depending on who you are and where you are, the word quake can have quite a few meanings. For the geek in me, though, Quake will always have one special meaning: fragging llamas!

Just Like One-Hit-Wonder Natalie Imbruglia...

...I'm torn. (thanks Dr. Cox!)

I love the Eagles. I always have. I always will. I'm still kicking myself in the p'tooer for missing them in 1995 or whatever it was.

But nosebleeds are $40 a pop. And I don't want nosebleeds. And even if I did, I don't want to pay $40 a pop.

But this may also be my last chance to see them.

Take it easy.

I Take It Back

Walk is a fun song. It's a metal anthem. It comes in at a solid #2 in my all-time best metal songs list.

Creeping Ktulu is the best metal song of all time. That is, Creeping Death immediately followed by Call of Ktulu, as on the album.

I apologize for any confusion.

Thank you, and have a nice GO SCREW YOURSELF!

Andy's Getting His Port Out!

Friday, 8/1! Yep! That means that by the time his party comes around he will not have a port!

I've been thinking. Once his port is out, the nightmare will truly be over. And once I make it past 8/9, his date of diagnosis, things will get better.

Go Andy!!!!

More Random Neurons

If people are at all like computers, which we are not, then "random" is a truly abstract idea in the sense that it does not exist. That said, we're not at all like computers, so we do have a random sense of neurons firing. Quite literally. It's very easy to let your brain light up a few random neurons. Your brain will decide how important randomness is, so to speak.

Leading the news today, STL has been home to quite some murder suicides as of late. Yeah. Ok. Are we really that unimaginative? Seriously? How about a new paradigm? STL will never be #1 in anything, psychopathic murders included, if we can't create someting new!

P&B, you're life savers.

If you're drunk and have an extra free MP3 download (pepsi points?), by all means download Africa by Toto! Even when you sober up, you'll admit that you can't beat the price.

Miss Vickie's, although Kanadian in orgin, are awesome chips. In particular, the Kelleydad-Dubbed Pride of Plano, the Miss Vickie's Hand-Picked Jalapeno chips..... well.. Let's just say they r teh rox.

Joey is showing that he could very easily learn Spanish right now. Wondering how we can accomplish this?

Have I mentioned that 2-year-olds are a pain in the ass? And that I really have 2 of em now? 3 if you count my dad...

The best part about going to Home Depot on a Sunday afternoon is the MILFs. Interperet that however you will.

I hear the secrets that you keep...

Greg really likes men of Kanadian descent.

Party Idea

So here's an idea for Andy's party. A little party game, maybe.

Everyone gets to kick Greg in the ass for a dollar. No limit on the number of kicks you purchase and they can be used at any time throughout the afternoon / evening.

Here's the kicker (pun not intended). Don't tell Greg what's up. Just walk up to him and kick his ass.

All proceeds go in my pocket.
