In his frothing and incomprehensible review of the Matrix, he utters this immortal sentence:
[Agent Jones is] again played by the capable Hugo Weaving, who brings an exultant beatitude to laminated malignancy.
Where do you go these days to get your malignancy laminated? Sheesh.
Unsurprisingly, the Case Western shooter was a man of big ideas with a burning hatred for anyone who tried to move in on his action.
I wonder how many other Usenet Kooks, old men in libraries, and psychoceramic conspiracy victims are going to lead a trail of bad web pages up to their final Gotterdammerung?
I remember reading John Walker Lindh’s usenet postings and thinking he was just another mild usenet kook too.
This is the image that I think will stand for my country when people look back on life here, say 100 years from now. An anguished person being rushed out of Terrorspace by officers as other officers point weapons in all directions. Drag us where you will, just get us out of the fear zone, O ninja cops.
So all us anti-war, dubbya-detesting people are to unite. We are to do something important. We are to join together, and with one voice:
Yeah. ‘Cause that will make things all better. The huge flows of money back and forth, the power of humans demonstrating in the streets, the fight of the next election, the grass roots organizations are all as nothing compared to some hipsters inviting their friends to watch a cool movie. Plus bonghits.
And the name of the bar, the bar is called heaven.
Plastic trees, goldfish, air conditioning. What more could a total MORAN want? 🙂
Trader Joe’s has the most amazing assortment of Foods That Are Like Heroin Or Crack or Some Other Debilitating Drug To Me. Here is a short list:
I stagger out realizing that I just blew $50 and I still need groceries. I need help or at least more of these chili lemon pistachios HLAGHAGLAHGLAGHAGLHAGLAHGAGLHAG
This is interesting. After eyeteeth‘s comment and a cursory web search I realized I totally had my head in my feathers. The Howard the Duck comic always did use that phrase, and I had totally forgotten this. So my “neat thing” was the other way around, a tribute to HtD from another Ohioan: the lyrics to the Pretenders’ “Precious”.
Howard the Duck and Mr. Stress both stayed
Trapped in a world that they never made
So I’m an idiot. But it’s still a good song.
A discussion the other night about movie taglines reminded me of my favorite one. The film Howard the Duck was a terrible failure, one of the great failures of movie history as I understand it. However, the ads were great. There was the duck on the poster, poking his head through something and looking freaked, and the tagline was “Trapped in a world he never made.”
Which was enough of an in-joke that I’m sure they didn’t care at that point who didn’t get it; the movie was already tanked.
Who remembers why they used that? And can quote the source? Hm? 😉
It’s VEDIC SPEED METAL TIME!

Thug Life, yo.
My boss quit today. His last day is the 14th.
We have no effing idea what we’re doing next; whether we’ll get a new boss, or our kinda-boss will “step in”, or one of us will be promoted, or what.
No one wants to be the boss, or to have a new one.
It’s a tad grim.
Light a candle for me!
Despite all this there is yet more green tea mochi ice cream.
