Freaky-Deaky Dutch
"Dutch pedophiles are launching a political party to push for a cut in the legal age for sexual relations to 12 from 16 and the legalization of child pornography and sex with animals, sparking widespread outrage. " - Yahoo
We (the United States) should really think about incorporating this party into our national make-up. Think about it. Not only does it give the big two something to rally against while still courting middle America votes, it also serves as a voluntary registration for pederasts.
For once a political party could actually have a positive effect.
Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Ridley Scott's sci-fi classic "Blade Runner," one of the first movies to appear on DVD in 1997, is being restored and remastered for a brief reissue in September. The DVD, featuring the 1992 "director's cut," will be deleted after four months, and replaced by a 25th anniversary "final cut," which Warner Home Video is billing as Scott's "definitive new version" of the film." - Yahoo Re-released and the long (too long) awaited final cut? In the immortal words of Butthead, "I'm there dude."

Not Bitter....Really.
Right now, Ministry is probably finishing up their show. If it's like the last time I saw them, the encore will be Supernaut.
They're in Portland.
I'm in Reno.
But just to show I'm not bitter, I just want to say....
Everybody have fun tonight....
Everybody Wang Chung tonight.
Snowmiser Strikes Again.
Around midnight last night/this morning, we packed up the truck and headed off for what would have been a fun-filled three-day weekend in Portland. Our itinerary was cemented: bowling, driving out to Long Beach, hanging out with John, continuing tradition and spending time at Kruger's Farm with my daughter, catching Ministry and the Revolting Cocks at the Roseland. Good times.
Then my old friend Snowmiser reared his freakishly ugly head and interfered with my life once again.
Forty miles outside of Reno we encountered high winds and sleet. For a while that was all right, inclement weather has a way of acting as natural caffeine - it's hard to get sleepy at the wheel when you're holding on to it for dear life lest the car blow away to Oz.
The wind and sleet passed and we were looking forward to a mellow ride the rest of the way to PDX. Ha!
Five miles outside Susanville, we hit a snow storm. Normally, snow isn't that big of a deal. I learned how to drive in Alaska where it's winter 9 months a year, snow isn't a big deal. White-out's are another story. The view from the driver's seat varied from a Star Wars style hyperspace scene with snow replacing the stars, to staring at a blank sheet of paper. You could generally make out where the road was because that was the spot in the middle with no trees, beyond that all we could see was snow.
After cruising along at our maximum speed of a blinding 35 mph for about an hour, we finally gave up and turned around. Sucky, sucky, sucky.
To recap:
One Tank of Gas: $45.00 (Thanks Bush Regime!)
Two Ministry Tickets $56.00
Disappointing Friends and Family: Priceless
I'm going to have to call Verizon and change my plan to the Jerks and Strangers plan.
Fox News - Error Free Reporting
"X Men 3: The Last Stand" took in almost $45 million on Friday and landed in the history books. It is now the second highest opener of all time, right behind "Star Wars: Attack of the Sith." - Fox News
Attack of the Sith? I'm not sure I saw that one.

Brutality
From The Worst Movies of All Time re: Xanadu
"Of course, entrusting the score to the Electric Light Orchestra was no way to make a musical soar. Dinosaurs even in their own time, these synthetic pseudo-classical rockers specialized in flatulently overproduced compositions that were hard enough to hum along with, much less dance to. Nevertheless, the people in this movie dance to them - or at least they try. When they aren't dancing, they're roller skating."
I almost wish I wrote that. Still, Four Little Diamonds is a kick ass song.

Things I've learned from TV.
The only television show broadcast in Hell is Who's the Boss?
The Smoking Gun.
By eliminating class-action status for Floridians who claimed years of smoking made them ill (you think?), the court discarded the award issued in 2000 after a two-year trial.
The jury decided that cigarettes are deadly, addictive and defective because they make people sick when used as directed (thank god for the jury, I mean who would have ever thought?). It set punitive damages for an estimated 300,000 to 700,000 smokers after deciding compensatory damages for three people with cancer serving as representatives of the group-Yahoo
While I think the tobacco companies are moral- less scumbags making bank on other peoples addictions (i.e. me), enough with the lawsuits already. Doesn't anyone take responsibility for their actions anymore? Here's a hint: READ THE DAMN LABEL. For years people have been warning us about the dangers of smoking, if the risk is too much for you to deal with don't smoke, but don't pretend to place blame on anyone but yourself. I've been trying to quit smoking for years, who's fault is that? Mine. If I get lung cancer tomorrow I'm not calling my lawyer, I'm calling a doctor. It would be my own fault for not quitting sooner, in fact for starting at all. But I accept that risk willingly each time I light up. It's called personal responsibility, and it's a sad thing so few people understand that these days. It's not McDonald's fault you put a two zillion degree cup of coffee between your legs and fried your naughty parts. It's not the casino's fault you don't understand the odds and spent little Johnny's college fund on the slots. We seem all too eager to place the blame on anyone and anything but where it belongs, ourselves. I don't get it.
Why is it so hard to admit we screwed up?
Besides everyone knows smoking is all Nicole Kidman's fault.
Anti-smoking groups today said the image of Kidman smoking was a free advertisement for the tobacco industry and glamorised the habit.-SMH.com.au

Home, Sweet Home
One of the crazy things about where I live is the a little creek behind my apartment. That, in of itself, is not that weird. The fact that they (who I don't know) turn the creek off during the winter, makes it weird.
They just turned it back on today.
I keep picturing those old cartoons where every creek and river had a faucet that controled it.

Spell Check
Blogger's spell check doesn't recognize "blog" as a word.
Strange.
P.S. It also doesn't recognize "Blogger."

Quote
From The Princess Bride (Good Parts Version)
"There have been five great kisses since 1642 B.C., when Saul and Delilah Korn's inadvertent discovery swept across Western civilization. (Before that couples hooked thumbs.) And the precise rating of kisses is a terribly difficult thing, often leading to great controversy, because although everyone agrees with the formula of affection times purity times intensity times duration, no one has ever been completely satisfied with how much weight each element should receive. But on any system, there are five that everyone agrees deserve full marks."
But my all time favorite passage (so far) has to be...
"The truth was simply this: he had a head on his shoulders. With a brain inside every bit as good as his teeth." - William Goldman
About Time
Funk-rock band the Red Hot Chili Peppers topped the U.S. charts for the first time in its 22-year history on Wednesday, while Neil Young's tirade against President Bush failed to do much for his sales. - Reuters

Gangsta Rodeo
I shouldn't find this nearly as funny as I do.
"A day after gunfire erupted at a Mother's Day-themed Mexican rodeo in Sparks -- killing a horse and grazing one person -- organizers fear the incident could mar the traditional family event." - RGJ

WM3 World Awareness Day
Hello Cleveland!
 Axl's In Da House!
Can Guns n' Roses get any weirder? Does Axl Rose realize that no one is buying his hair extensions? Will Chinese Democracy come out before I start collecting Social Security checks?
It was weird enough that they once had both a Dizzy and an Izzy in the band. But now Axl's replaced a Buckethead with a Bumblefoot?
This is either the work of a madman, or high art. Only time will tell.
Forensic Photography
A new technique matches a digital image to the camera that snapped it, scientists say, just like matching a bullet to the gun that fired it.
The method could help bolster investigations that need reliable evidence to tie a suspect's illegal digital photos to their camera, such as in child pornography cases. - ABC.net

Dreamscapes
Last night I had a dream I was hanging out with Molliwogg and two friends in a tiny apartment. Nothing spectacular, just a quiet evening drinking with friends.
Then the doorbell rang.
I answer the door and it's Tina Turner.
She greets me with a long hug and for some reason I whisper into her ear, "I've always wanted to have sex with you." (Thing is, while I like Tina's music, I've just never thought of her in that way. Maybe during the Ike and Tina days, but for the last twenty years or so she's been that scary lady from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome who hangs out with Rod Stewart. That and the words, "I've always wanted to have sex with you," is not something I have, or ever would, say to another human being short of Jennifer Esposito.)
Anyway, she whispers back, "That can be arranged, where's the coke?"
Despite that I've only done coke a handful of times and find it the palest of all white boy drugs, I happened to have a supply on hand - this is a dream after all. I leave Tina to cut up some Columbian with my friends and head over to the kitchen to ask Molliwogg if it's okay to have sex with Tina Turner.
Then I woke up.
I've spent most of the day trying to decided if I should be relieved that I woke up before consummating Proud Mary or feel as though I've been gypped.
Only time will tell I guess. Or a good shrink.

Neglecting the Blog....
I've been neglecting Comentario Loco lately. I started a new job two weeks ago (now both Molliwogg and I work for major software companies...strange). Just finished (tonight) a website I've been working on for the last six months. If you're interested in history, particularly outlaw history, check it out.
So know I'm giving myself a two-day break before it's back to the grindstone to hammer out this screenplay that's been plaguing me for a couple years now. After that Edible Foods, and after that, the final polish on American Way.
At least I'm keeping to my New Year's resolution to make this year my most productive. :P
Anyway, now that the major part of the website is done, I plan on giving Loco a little bit more loving.
