I have too many links. I cannot abide them. Now, as is similar in our sado-masochistic culture that shuns happiness and the sharing of contenment in exchange for stories of devastation and pain in an attempt to disperse and diffuse the pain that etches itself into our ebbing memories….. IE, I am gonna share these things – whether you like it or not. If I share this pain, then I no longer need to focus on it.
Of course, none of this is painful. Not in the slightest. So I don’t have the foggiest what the me was talking about prior to this sentence I tap out so bewildered.
Also… SFW? Nope. I forget about that… all time. Sort of rude, sort of understandable.
Why wouldn’t some of this be safe for work? I was told because of an errant and dismissive colloquial use of the “F” word in one of my links. Seriously? That’s not SFW??
Totally sorry. I forget people deal with that stuff. Ugh. My wifey’s work is so locked down she can’t get onto any networks or sites, basically. So what does every employee do…. hangs out on their cell phone (not her of course… everyone else).
Workers will learn ways to break free from productivity concerns… always.
Then others of us will just work, get the job done, be accountable to ourselves, and then totally forget someone is at a desk getting in trouble like a prisoner saying the wrong words. Thought crime is coming.
ENOUGH! Here we go…. fun links and random missives.

Bill Hicks has a pilot for a TV Show for Channel Four in the UK. He passed away even tho it was greenlit:
BILL HICKS FOLKS!
“Before I buy a gun, I might want to take a look at myself and wonder what is wrong with me that angry mobs band together when they see me and that I need one” (paraphrase)
That’s funny, and unlike Denis Leary, I will say that I am using it when I rip it from Bill.

You know retro memories are phenomenal, right? Like that random time you took out a VHS tape, and you had Saturday Morning Commercials randomly taped from 10 years earlier? Yeah… that kind of retro memory. Well here you go…
That’s more Atari commercials than you ever knew existed. And seem markedly fresh…. video game marketing seems to have always been viral or hep, in some fashion. The Granny one is epic. Actually, I am now reserving the phrase for the movie 2001: Space Odyssey, which I saw last night wonderfully altered. That being said, maybe that was epic, and these are more of a relevant and fun stroll down memory lane.
Speaking of 2001—-
Do you fear the Uncanny Valley? You might want to watch this and see what’s out there…. quite good. I did mention 2001 earlier…. it’s frightening, frankly, how what was perceived as surrealist futuristic sci0fi is now laughably awkward. The film is still the best… but it hits so much closer to home looking at their ipads, and tv’s in airline seats, etc. Spooooooooky. HAL is not only not that far off….. but we can totally relate to it.
If that’s too much, go and play any 8-bit Nintendo game that has ever come out. METROID TIME BITCHES. What’s more… enter the code “NARPAS SWORD0 000000 000000” – invincibility and unlimited missiles. Enjoy.

What’s it like to get fired, act smart and shitty, and then get schooled? Well the answer, gentle readers, is RIGHT HERE. Hilarious… seriously… that guy got schooled.

WHAT THE FUCK SHOULD YOU MAKE FOR DINNER? Rude, hipsterish, but totally helpful…. enjoy. No seriously… totally helpful.

You need to spend some more time online, and peeling away the years of this blog doesn’t sound enticing?
How about FOUND SHIT. Or maybe the greatest art site I have found…. V V ORK (I plan to do a list of my fave art sites at some point. There’s some epic stuff out there!
