The Ca.. Todd Ru.. wha… WHAT?
Mr. T. Versus Roomba
Wow, Kurt Vonnegut has become a complete asshole instead of just an overrated writer.
In other news emacs is a Jewish plot.
There’s also a problem with Brent Spiner (mp3 with an html mime type, kind of a pain).
AC/DC
Bowie in Tesla biopic with Jackman, Bale.
As I said to the person who showed this to me, the next question is whether Tesla will star in a musical exploration of the life of Jim Bowie…
local interest: white city ruins, Altadena
The community reveals something I hadn’t heard of, the ruins of “White City”, a resort north of Altadena in the hills. There’s a photo gallery of the site. That sounds like a really cool (if strenuous) hike/photo expedition.

I introduced torgo_x to the nightmare world of Orange County’s Party Losers Website, a party promoter inexplicably named “Spirit World” whom I’ve mocked here before. A few minutes browsing their photo albums will tell you all you need to know about the phrase “Bros and Hos”.

Classic patio scene.
Sitting at the bar next to A.J. and talking with Michelle, bla bla, half-reading a book.
In walks this woman who is so hot as to cause a readjustment of the Universal Hotness Index, one flaming screaming hot PIECE OF ASS, probably about 19 years old. I skip a few beats from pure lust, and A.J. notices. He turns around back and says “Holy shit.” I smile at her nervously, she smiles back in a very pleasant way and goes back out.
A.J. says “Dude! That was for YOU!”
“She is seven years old,” I reply.
After a few more conversations and 100 pages of reading, I head to my car. Miss. Jesus H. Christ My Spleen Just Exploded With Lust From Looking at You is sitting with Tommy “Aloysius” Dougherty, who has been “39” for ten years or so. He’s being all artistic, and soulful, and poetical, and shit.
Didn’t I see this same exact scene in 1996? And every weekend since?
This is not your pedophile tourism country, sir.
Bonus points for: “One of my colleagues recognized him immediately”, “Nguyen Van Phuc”.
Max sentence is 5 years there, but I imagine the Vietnamese prison Western Nation prison correspondence is like dog years.
