What a crappy Halloween for all those young’ens out there blowing around, freezing to near death, just for some teeth-rotting sugar treats. And the parents, I don’t envy them today. Standing in the cold watching their children’s nones drip and costumes fall apart in the wind. And what about the nice people who hand out the treats, warm and cozy in their homes, constantly being interrupted from the latest episode of [insert Tuesday TV show here] to answer the damn door to a bunch of candy grubbing children. Don’t forget the dentists, paying for their wifes new Lexus from all of the tooth rot after the Halloween candy fest.

What about trick or treating for adults. I think adults should be able to trick or treat too, without the cops being called. People should hand out adult candy too. Things such as mini bottles of booze, packs of cigarettes, self-help cassettes, or free colonoscopy gift cards.

I find this Halloween to be the perfect setting for cocktails and movies in a dark, uninviting house. No children, no trick-or-treaters, no cold wind to send chills down my spine. Just a big glass of scotch, a horror movie, and a cozy blanket.

You know what irks me about this video? I bet that the driver of the car tried to sue to oil change company. I hope this tape saved them and the car driver had their driving privileges revoked. Unless this is fake, FAKERS!

What better for Halloween than some claim that vampires do not exsist and that it can be proved via mathematics.

A researcher has come up with some simple math that sucks the life out of the vampire myth, proving that these highly popular creatures can’t exist.

University of Central Florida physics professor Costas Efthimiou’s work debunks pseudoscientific ideas, such as vampires and zombies, in an attempt to enhance public literacy. Not only does the public believe in such topics, but the percentages are at dangerously high level

Now I’m not too sure about the factual clarity of the site claiming this, but an interesting thought.

I was just looking at the numbers for October and things are good, very good. We are up 29% over last month and had 25% more readers than our previous best month. WOW. We have effectively grown readership over 140% since the beginning of the year, and with no actual effort. Not only are unique readers up, daily visits are up too! I contribute this to the increased number of daily posts. More posts = more traffic, any way you cut it. I am predicting even greater growth after the final numbers are here at the beginning of November.

I want to send my monthly thank you to all of our readers and contributors for making this thing happen. October has been a successful month, what a better way to celebrate six years than with gobs of new readers.

This looks painful. I cannot imaging what it must feel like to have your legs and torso twisted like a Twizzlers candy. What really scares me is the U-joint in the arm. Ouch

Bonus points to anyone who can identify the machinery this is taken from.

Its Monday, and that means the weekend is over. Which in my particular case is a good thing.

roof‧ing  /ˈrufɪŋ, ˈrʊfɪŋ/ Pronunciation Key [roo-fing, roof-ing]
–noun
1. the act of covering with a roof.

Aaah yes, the art and act of roofing. The removal of shingles to make roof of new shingles. Bah, it isn’t for me. I don’t mind the heights, but the pitch of the roof, the lack of sure footing, and the unabated fear of falling to a paralyzed wheelchair life don’t really excite me. So this means that I am the ladder jockey. Get this, bring that, pick up all the shingles from the ground. Hey, I was fine with that. And now I am sore as hell. I did get to play with the pneumatic nail gun though, those are ALWAYS fun. My parents cat now only has one eye. Don’t worry, the cat is evil.

It was brought to the blog attention that the video game commercial toted to contain Phil Collins did indeed actually have the musical blessing of Foreigner. Please accept my deepest and dearest apologies on the matter of the mis-linked video. I now present to you the correct video, featuring Phil Collins. Oh Yeah!

This is the actual trailer released by the game developer. I didn’t know that Phil Collins was so popular amonst this games demographic, which I’m guessing is 16-25 year old males. Then again, what the hell do I know about video game marketing. All I know is that Phil Collins is rocking it in virtual digital form. What this world needs more left-handed drummer/lead singers.

This is the actual text for the spam we just received. I must give the spammer credit, they actually put real words into functional sentences for this one. Usually it is either 1) senseless garbage, or 2) “nice site”, then a link to their spam site.

I was having a discussion with a colleague today about his lip. He recently bit his lip and it was hurting him today. I brought up that maybe it was infected and would need to be amputated. The question then arose as to if only limbs could be amputated. Can a lip be amputated? He suggested that it meant to remove. I then posed the question if hair could be amputated then. “I’m going to get my hair amputated” instead of “I’m getting a haircut”.

The spam message then went on to link to some trashy site selling salvation in a plastic jar.

Late last night after many drinks, Gurt was spotted at the local “outdoor” themed sports bar trying to hit on a seven foot stuffed bear. The bear, also known as “Happy” by the waiting staff, looked enraged and was showing his flesh ripping teeth in defense to Gurt’s informal solicitation for “a night you won’t remember”. Following dating advice from his long time friend and cohort Reginald Highwater, Gurt Luhrman appeared to be “in the zone” whiles making his moves on his newly introduced friend.

Apparently Gurt was being a little too friendly to the bear as someone phoned the local authorities. Following the twenty minute chat with Officer Jones, Gurt realized that by now the bar had closed… and that meant Happy was not coming home with him. A frustrated Luhrman kicked and screamed as the officers arrested him for a evening in detox.

Apparently Rush Limbaugh is claiming that Mr Fox is “faking the extent of his condition” in ads supporting stem cell research. I cannot even comment on this. READ MORE >>>

STEM cell research is back on the political agenda in the lead-up to the US mid-term elections after influential right-wing commentator Rush Limbaugh accused actor Michael J.Fox of faking the severity of his Parkinson’s disease in a campaign television commercial.

“He is exaggerating the effects of the disease,” Limbaugh, whose views make Sydney shock jock Alan Jones seem moderate, told his legion of listeners.

“He’s moving all around and shaking and it’s purely an act … This is really shameless of Michael J.Fox. Either he didn’t take his medication or he’s acting.”

Punctuation Is Dying!

Punctuation, online at least, is dying. It’s so badly misused that it’s a rare occasion when I can catch up on my feeds without flinching at some of the horrendous punctuation. The worst part of it all is that nobody seems to notice this gradual decline; or care. I fear it may be the latter.

With all the l33t speak and text messages people are throwing around, not only is punctuation being killed, but so are actual words. its all shrt hnd now, esp with txt msging. who wants to type full sentences or words anymore, especially with a phone. I’m just going to sit back and wait for chips to be implanted in my head that will communicate my thoughts to others on my network. I just hope I have a good service provider.

I don’t really know what is going on lately but we have now broke the “we get spam posts hourly” category. Its a sign that things are growing here at the blog, at least that is what I am believing. Luckily the spam software I have installed does a great job from keeping the junk out of sight. I still hate scrubbing it though for legits.

I didn’t think that small paragraph above was really enough for this post so I have decided, effective immediately, that this post will contain LOTS OF BRIMLEY, BRIMLEY, BRIMLEY!!!!!

The Tesco Direct site advertises the kit with the words, “Unleash the sex kitten inside…simply extend the Peekaboo pole inside the tube, slip on the sexy tunes and away you go!

“Soon you’ll be flaunting it to the world and earning a fortune in Peekaboo Dance Dollars”.

Ummm, I have so little to say about this. Who in the hell approved this item for sale, or production for that matter? And if you haven’t figured out what it is yet, it is a stripper pole for little girls. Now this is NOT what this world needs.

UPDATE!!

I just did some digging, this doesn’t stop here. There is also a lap dancing kit. I should clarify a bit here though. I did some research and I don’t know if these products are or are not intended for children. It isn’t very clear. One thing is clear, they shouldn’t be listed in the “toys” section of a website, unless they are “adult toys” - but even then. What adult is going to play with fake money? And is that little plastic pole really for adults? This is it, the world will end tomorrow.
