Oh, yeah, I'm the great long multifaceted poster. (do-wah, do-wah). Anyway. For tonights viewing pleasure we have. My mistake, the Violent Femmes, Ben Harper and Jack Johnson, important news, suicide bombers, dodgy photos, old news, simicide, geek news, how much I rock, and finally that old favourite slappers.
Fear the new "extended entry" action.
Hmmm, I could try and defend myself, but really I suck to much, and it would be silly of me to try. Sad, sad sad I am. After navigating myself through Aardvark's (very amusing) RIAA viewing cloning artists as piracy I walked straight into that. I could try and blame the American day behind us thing, but really, no, I suck. On the upside, it did get three comments which is so far a record. (explained)
This is not a laughing matter. Black Hawk.... Down. (aha)
Violent Femmes
They are coming, ah the horror, they are coming. Hang on. Wohooo they are coming. Ah, yes this is good. Good I say. Go, purchase.
What Happened To My Drums?
In other music related news, verily we went to see Ben Harper, with special guest(tm) Jack Johnson. Now I'm not a mjor fan of either of these two, but I enjoy live shows, even if they don't sound the same as they do on the CD, you do get the bonus of seeing the people in the flesh, and the music also sounds cool and funky. Sara and I arrived as we had planned for at 7:10, and found the others standing where they had been since 6:15. So sucks to them. Then came the music, and indeed it was good. Others have written similar things, and I agree.
Most Important News Of The Week!
Many people have commented on the rediculous ground shaking occurance of the last week, and indeed they were rediculous, and worthy of comment. I have held out for this long but no longer.
FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLAR PANTS! HOLY MOLY! Simon apparently only narrowly avoided buying them. I assume he managed to escape an armed assaliant in order to not buy $450 pants, but boy was that close. Oh, and apparently something, something.
How To Create A Suicide Bomber
When Ben and I read this, (well the press version of this story) we thought, hmmm way to go America. That is how you do it.
Elsewhere, Razek al-Kazem al-Khafaji sat inconsolably among 15 coffins, bearing what he said were the bodies of his family killed when a rocket fired by a US Apache helicopter ripped apart their pick-up truck.
He told AFP they were fleeing fierce fighting in Nasiriya, further south, when they were hit in the town of Haidariya. He said the strike killed his wife, six children, his father, his mother, his three brothers and their wives.
I can hear him strapping it up right now. Hi wife, six children, his father mother, three brothers and their wives. Oh yeah. He's going to vote Bush come election time. Hell yeah.
More on the war: The british have concrete bombs. Swede. I want grand piano bombs. Nay, I demand them.
Dodgy Photos (not pron)
This is old news now, but is cool for having a snazzy little flash explanation demonstrating how the dodgy photo boy manipulated his photos to make it look better. Except it doesn't really look that much better.
More Old News
Ah the joys of not posting for a few days. I did have an article on how they may have found some sort of actual weapons of mass destruction. But no, actually they didn't. The found something which may or may not be pesticide:
Mastrianni added that the dozen sick soldiers, who had become nauseated, dizzy and developed skin blotches, had all recovered.
Woot.
Simicide
For fun a frivolity check out how to kill your sims character (drowning is good) (thanks to Fark)
Geeky Geeky
In geek news for last week. The new Mozilla roadmap has come out and says that Mozilla will get more Phoenix like, because Mozilla is to big and dumb.
I Rock (So Hard)
Also, I got voted 4th in the MVP awards for super league. In conclusion I rock. The interview went something like "Tim, Tim, where are the bodies?" Err, well something like that.
Slappers
Michelle claims that because:
My dirty flatmate Tree (aka Sarah) has decided she is going to be the one “christening” the flat this weekend. Dirty bitch. No one can ever call me a slapper, ever, ever again.
I will take this under advisement. On the same theme, we can all look on in horror at the latest entry from Ktn. Great news.
