You're putting my kids through college

Guilty Indifferences
Bank surcharges (fiscal responsibility in general, really)
A decent resume
Not shooting New Yorkers moving into the Lehigh Valley
The Washington Redskins

Europe is so f*cked. Statistically speaking, a country needs a birthrate of 2.1 to sustain its population. National birthrates are plummeting over there. Spain's is 1.1. BUT, the birthrate of the Muslim population there is something like 3.4. If a birthrate of 3.4 is only bringing the national average up to 1.1, that means the ethnic Spanish birthrate has to be absolutely pathetic. A paraphrased quote from (pick your spelling) Moammar Qaddafi (tastes just like a chQKAKCCKQPTHTP): "In one generation we will reconquer Europe without firing a shot." And that is mostly true. Theo Van Gogh was killed with a knife, not a gun. He will probably have been the last European to have stood in the way of the gradual shift to Sharia law. This is the bed they've made for themselves, unfortunately. With absolutely no effort to assimilate the immigrant population but nevertheless including them into their enlightened welfare states where equality is the new religion, they've really bent over nicely. I mean, ass tulips nicely. Noooooooobody expects the Turkish Inquisition.

Nathan: Before we take over and pillage the space planet Alpha Unero Seven we must pray to Space-o to go your turn...
Skwisgaar [inside echo-y space helmet with viking horns]: Yah, und da hayen but yats space soord oh nah we am zet sor el kalir.

Skwisgaar: Yah cuts krin movings on! Dat's de one.
Director: Ok great, that's great! But, uh, huh...we're having a hard time making out what you're saying.
Skwisgaar [indignantly]: Likes what?
Director: Like, the words. [crew nods]
Skwisgaar [distressed]: Ahh, I can't say dose words any harder dan I tried. Ahh, don't know what to tell ya.
Director: Well, how about this, Skwisgaar. We'll make a deal. I'll direct as best as I can if you say them words as best as you can, really do it--
Pickles [standing next to director, wearing a karate gi]: I'm afraid you, uh, can't do dat if you, uh, read our contract you'd realize that you can't direct nor berate us because it, uh, sickens us. [deep breath] You're fired.
Director: Whoa whoa whoa whoa! I wasn't even trying to direct him! I was just trying to get him to speak clear! That's all, that's all!
Pickles [exasperated]: Yeah...that's a no-no. Y'know, in our contract, no approaching of any of us.
Nathan: Yeah. You knew that.
Director: So I'm...fired...
Toki [sitting in one of those movie chairs in a cowboy outfit]: Ah! Classic Hollywood! Now maybe you hangs yourself! Haha!
Director [thoughtfully]: Hang myself...hmm...

Steelers are on the path to finish with a winning record! To do that they have to beat the Panthers, Ravens, and Bengals. In that order. That'd be nice. That would get this early off-season rolling along nicely. And once we get there, let's move Casey Hampton to tailback. Bettis is the bus, Davenport is the dump truck, Hampton is the Big Rig. I'm starting a petition. Look in on the very close picks race I have with Zandar on http://www.needtogoforasafety.blogspot.com/

So I just picked up Twilight Princess, just after finishing Wind Waker. Despite the latter being nearly impossible to beat without serious help from Gamefaqs, it was fun and the nautical theme was interesting. That, and I like young Link's facial expressions. But Twilight Princess looks to be pretty cool. It looks kind of like Fable. Haven't done much in the way of actual gameplay yet so we'll see.

The process of applying to graduate school is a pain in the ass. And I think I'm going to cut my hair and the chops this weekend. Getting a little bored.

DX still makes me get out of bed each morning.

...And also, you know how Rocky is Philadelphia's greatest sports hero (save the possible exception of Allen Iverson)? Even though he's a fictional character? I get the same feeling about Vega from Street Fighter II. Every time I play with him I'm like, "yeah, Spain, bitches..."
