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.

[on the set of "Blood Ocean"]
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.
Nathan: Yeah I know but maybe we'll find your father. [gesticulates with giant robot arm] Out there. Ok you go.
Skwisgaar: Well shwangs dat look at him fors a billion yearrr--
Director: --annnd, cut! That's just great! Skwisgaar, can I talk to you?
Skwisgaar: Huh?
Director: How are you feeling?
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..."

It bears repeating.

Y'know, if blogger is going to spontaneously delete a whole paragraph, I'd at least appreciate being told that they put it back.

I was blackout tired last night. I think I may have hallucinated something about a tray, maybe with sandwiches on it? And I walked around my house for a few minutes looking for it? Did I say anything odd on the phone? You did call me, right?

Yes. And it was VERY INAPPROPRIATE. Don't try to cover that up with this sleeptalking/psychosis bullshit. There's only one way to settle this. Sokols bowling alley, tonight. Bring Schwab if you think you need backup, son.

Get me out of this hell.

So I have this super-lefty professor for one of my classes, and I decide to write her a paper on, or all things, white people in rap music. Yeah, this one's going over like a lead zeppelin. What the hell is wrong with me? Why couldn't I have just chose, like, Xenakis?

"Najeh Davenport is the dump truck"..... HAA!!!!!

Are you aware of the sinister hidden meaning of that, or did you just hear it somehwhere? because there's a fantastic story behind that.

Grad School essays are annoying, but I wouldn;t even dare guess what you'd have to go through for political areas. I had to write 5,000 words about my favorite director. I guess that's relatively easy compared to other things.

I think you should just give them the story (you did for teh Dr.'s site) on Castro's beard.

On my resumé should I describe myself as Time Person of the Year or Time co-Person of the Year?

You seem to be saying that Espana lacks for true athletes. What, like Seve Ballestros, Sergio Garcia, and Jose Maria Olazabal aren't good enough for you?

Are you saying that golf is for pussies?

Are you saying that these guys are pampered idiots with no discermable personality and an uppitty attitude towards everything that doesn't relate to them?

(Ok you get my point. Golfers are bigger wusses than Todd Pinkston and tennis players.)

Pau Gasol was an all star last year. He's going to be traded soon, most likely.

Evans, did you hear that on NPR?

My mom took me to a taping of "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" in Chicago. I have never listened to this show, or NPR at all, except in other people's parents' cars. But I heard them propose the TIME-on-the-resume thing there...

No, NPR must've picked it up from me. I write all my own material.

Well, then you're one up on me. Practically everything funny I said in middle school was cribbed straight from Comedy Central stand-up specials. And I admit this unabashedly. That shit was hilarious!

PS Why can't I add my name?
