Terry Gilliam is cool about Piracy

Cinematical had a really interesting piece about director Terry Gilliam. Long story short, he doesn't care if you pirate his movies, as long as the quality of your rip is high. Basically he's fought with studios so much, he doesn't have a problem with people ripping them off.

--Gilliam can say what ever he wants. He will always get my money...

It says a lot about these days...

One Huge Ass Cave Has Been Discovered in Southern Venezuela

This picture shows the size of the cave. Note the two helicopters parked on the cave floor.

A cave so huge helicopters can fly into it has just been discovered deep in the hills of a South American jungle paradise.

Actually, "Cueva del Fantasma"—Spanish for "Cave of the Ghost"—is so vast that two helicopters can comfortably fly into it and land next to a towering waterfall.

It was found in the slopes of Aprada tepui in southern Venezuela, one of the most inaccessible and unexplored regions of the world. The area, known as the Venezuelan Guayana, is one of the most biologically rich, geologically ancient and unspoiled parts of the world.

This is the first geographic report and photographic evidence of such an immense cave. However, researchers say, it isn’t really a cave, but a huge, collapsed, steep gorge.

Bush: U.S. on Verge of Energy Breakthrough

Saying the nation is on the verge of technological breakthroughs that would "startle" most Americans, President Bush on Monday outlined his energy proposals to help wean the country off foreign oil.

"Roof makers will one day be able to make a solar roof that protects you from the elements and at the same time, powers your house," Bush said. "The vision is this — that technology will become so efficient that you'll become a little power generator in your home, and if you don't use the energy you generate you'll be able to feed it back into the electricity grid."

--I believe this will happen one day. We have the technology. As long as it makes someone money... It'll happen.

What Americans Want

For the last several days this photo has been in the top ten most viewed and emailed photos on Yahoo News.

It has all the components we love.

It has the video game connection, the Hollywood movie connection, the hot woman with huge breasts and bulging cleavage, powerful hand guns, skimpy outfits and come hither eyes...

The only thing it's missing is a gas hungry SUV, fast sportscar or a crotch-rocket motorcycle.

--This is definitely the look for Brenda!

The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh

A friend of mine loaned me a DVD of pure goodness.

The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh.

This was at one time my very favorite TV show ever! It was part of Walt Disneys Sunday Night series. It came on right after Mutual of Omahas Wild Kingdom!

It starred Patrick Mcgoohan as the Scarecrow.

--Pure Cheesy Goodness from 1965!!

This post is NOT about Poop...

It seems like every blogger I know and read has a weekly post about poop. This entry is NOT about poop, it's about the side effects of Pepto!

Every now and then I get this weird ass stomach-indigestion-belch-o-rama thing happenin. I will be sitting someplace, minding my own business when I suddenly realize I have belched every 15 seconds for like the last hour. I'm serious. It's like I have swallowed four Alka Seltzer tablets whole and they are boiling in my belly. If the belches didn't vent this evil chemical action in my belly, I'm sure I would simply explode eventually.

I can see the headline now, "In a freak accident a Virginia man exploded today killing eleven."

Anyway, back to the part of this that is NOT about poop. The best, fastest cure for this weird ass stomach-indigestion-belch-o-rama condition is to chug a bit of cold Pepto Bismol right out of the fridge. Two minutes later, before the taste is gone from my mouth, the belching stops. This is why I love Pepto and always keep it on hand. Pepto has an odd side effect though. All matter processed on my gut is turned into very dry, very black, charcoal briquettes. I am talking VERY black. The need for TP is completely eliminated.

--So the next time it snows outside and you forgot to get TP. Go for the Pepto!!

My Wife

So today I was writing yet another letter to my wonderful wife.

While I was being bored during lunch in a training class, and I found the card that I gave to her with the rocking chairs. With the stuff that is happening today it got to me suddenly. So I wrote her a letter, and then another and another…

--I love you Brenda…

Britney Spears needs some smokes...

Mothers, if you want lessons in how to raise a child, look no further than Mrs. Federline Spears (or is it Spears Federline?)! Here is the amateur mother riding in her SUV with her baby in her lap.

Oops! Did I say riding? She's driving, silly!

Yes, Britney is driving with her baby in her lap! No car seats for this woman! She lives on the edge! I hope she's AT LEAST listening to Baby Mozart! That crap will make a baby smart!

--Bitches. Rich Bitches!

Managing Music

Like the rest of the world I am enjoying the hell out of my mp3 player. The one I have is from SONY. I am a total SONY whore. SONY has me at hello. SONY is my main addiction supplier.

I have 3 SONY, 300 CD changers. I love them still but I am in the process of ingesting my 600 or 700 CDs into mp3.

The Wedding started it. We put all the music for the wedding on mp3 for ease of transport, setup, and use by De, our friend, co-conspirator and DJ.

So we had all this music on mp3 so suddenly we had iPods for the kids and a SONY for me.

So now my computer is eating data as fast as I can feed it...

--Now I got be more serious about backups!!
