HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAVE

Dave of Dave's Not Here recently accomplished the following:

Came back from his job in Iraq as a civilian contractor.

Had his 33rd birthday. Hey, 4 more months & he'll be an LP.

Took a picture of a building that probably makes Ralph Nader hiss like a vampire seeing a cross, since it's huge, visually striking, architecturally impressive, and stunningly corporate-looking.

I LIKE THAT ANSWER

Remember this question? "Why the hell am I spending an hour tweaking this stupid five-sentence throw-away entry?"
 
Dave of Just Procrastinating has a beautiful answer:

If anything, at least the process of developing an idea into something somewhat cohesive, writing it out and editing it has some use in the business world. The iterative process of blogging has sped up my business writing, leaving me more time for, well...more blogging, I guess.

Amen, Brother.

I KNOW "TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY" ISN'T UNTIL SEPTEMBER, BUT...

So I was poking around at Straight White Guy's place, and in the comments to this post was something about what "jolly rogering" meant. Unfortunately, the actual definition wasn't given, so I tried Googling.

I didn't find what I was looking for, but I DID find some pirate pick-up lines, instead, so until Eric explains, I'll have to be content with this:
  1. "I must be huntin' treasure, 'cause I'm diggin' yer chest."
  2. "You're just the tasty wench I've been keeping me eye out for!"
  3. "Hey, sexy -- how about a Jolly Rogering?"
  4. "Ya certainly put the shiver in me timber."
  5. "See this hook? Variable speed with five alternate attachments, Baby."
  6. "WOW! I bet we could fit SIXteen men on that chest!"
  7. "Me skull and crossbones arn't the only thing I plan on raisin' tonight."
  8. "Do ya mind if the parrot watches?"
  9. "Nice poop deck on ya, lassie. Care fer a swabbin'?"
  10. "Avast, me pretty! Strike your panties and prepare to be boarded."
  11. "So you're the new cabin boy, eh?"
  12. "Do you have the latest copy of Windows XP with cracked product activation?" (software pirates only)
  13. "Yo, ho! Bottle of rum?"
  14. "Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre you free on Saturday?"

    and the Number 1 Pirate Pick-Up Line...

  15. "Is there an 'X' on the seat of your pants? Because it appears that there's wond'rous booty buried underneath!"
Most of which make me think of Susie, for some reason. Except for #4, which has Blogless Brother Tom written all over it.

BEST OF ME SYMPHONY

...is up at Rocket Jones. Nothing fancy, just quality intros, but that's good enough.

My favorite would be Bunsen's post on idiots who open attachments from people they don't know. The best part of which is the list of spam titles that made me snicker, including (but not limited to):

Paris Hilton Gets You College Degrees Cheap!

You can get 5% more chlamydia in just one month xhsdfhdg**

Metamucil #$%g Crackerjacks &&^$##) Pampers $!@$

Spycams catch sweaty fat jailbait with Montezuma's revenge!

Man, that last one just makes me flinch.

YES I DO

Graumagus of Frizzen Sparks has another installment of "I feel lucky", where he plugs semi-random words into Google to see what floats to the top.

This week's selections are:

Gypsum Vine Smelly
Granite Dust Mite Tangy
Argon Locust Shredded

Which returned results on the order of:

Ok, I can see that.
WTF?
hmmm... that might be useful

MEANWHILE AT ALLIANCE HQ

GEBIV has a drink alerted follow-up to last Friday's filthy lie. Exploding paper, flying rocks, giant blenders, and blogless brothers in bondage. Yeah, it's all there.

As is Pierre of Pink Flamingo Bar & Grill's first foray into untruth.

A list of round-ups that are up, and a list of round-ups that you should hurry up and submit to.

Also, a tip on completing this week's nearly impossible Precision Guided Humor Assignment.

KING OF THE BLOGS FINAL RESULTS

...have been posted at the KotB page:

WalloWorld 37.25
Irritable Blog Syndrome 32.1
Blog Supplement 27.975

Good King Bill appears to turning into "Undethronable Despot Bill". Someone really needs to step up & take the long wind out of this tyrant's sails.

Be sure to read the reviews and witness such shocking things as:

Susie using the word "suck".

Ian using stuffy words like "erudite"

Pietro confessing his undying lust for Sigourney Weaver.

Trey Givens trying his best to throw a monkey wrench in the whole works. Silly Objectivist, tricks are for kids.

"STUDYING FOR FINALS"... OR SOME OTHER EUPHEMISM

Jeff of BigStick.US is in need of some... assistance.

in France, it's really hard to get a decent porno magazine, that doesn't cost 20 bucks and doesn't have horses and shit in it (French people are perverts!!)

This is what I humbly ask, and whether you agree with it or not, please just try to pass the word around:

I'd really like it if somebody would mail me a Playboy. A hustler even, or one of those mini-magazines that don't cost as much to mail.
 
Much as I'd love to help directly, I dumped all my dead tree porn after marrying a beautiful woman with healthy appetites. However, if you've got a couple of left over magazines and want to prevent the tragedy of masturbation to horse porn, then please send what you can to:

Jeff Harr
Chambre A45
2, avenue des Jeux Olympiques
38029 GRENOBLE CEDEX 2, FRANCE

And please, no midgets, horses, firemen, or hairy French broads.

Trey, don't even ask.

Crap. I just realized that having the phrase "horse porn" in this entry is gonna rope in some bad Google searches.

*shrug*

THE BARTENDER IS DRUNK AGAIN

Or so I assume, since he's started reminiscing about Ye Olde Tyme TV over at Madfish Willie's. See if you remember any of the shows this old coot is talking about, some of which are:

Flashback... Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel... The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle... I hated Sesame Street... Never watched Mr Rogers... Popeye - now that guy was always kicking some ass... Bugs Bunny - did anyone ever [f***] him up, EVER?...

There's more at the bar.

And just for the record, I always thought Mr. Rogers was a little creepy...
