Believe it or not, this campaign cycle is even getting to me. I can’t wait till this is over. So since today is Halloween, I’m going to focus on the WEIRDDD:

SPAAAAAACE...SMURFS? NASA’s Messenger probe found evidence that Mercurian volcanoes spewed forth...blue stuff.

NO JACKSON 5 FOR MICHAEL: I guess he’s too good for them?

BRAAAAINS...BRAAAAAAINS...: Want some for dinner? Here’s the recipe.

That’s right, chum. Look closely now at this ‘delicacy’:

And here I thought Carl’s Jr.’s Six-Dollar Burger was bad. Wait till you see the other menu items you can find at the State Fair.

Time to dive right in....

‘24’ FANS TAKE NOTE: Hud has an eerie comparison to make between that show and a current politcian.

BRITNEY NEEDS TO BE COMMITTED: After this latest episode where, after a 3-hour custody dispute, The Slut is taken to the hospital in an ambulance. Perhaps they should sterilize her too.

IF JAY’S SCABBING HIMSELF: Maybe he should quit the WGA.

Quick! When’s the next full moon?

Let’s see...call healthcare provider to see what bulls**t is holding my October claim. Check.
Call State Farm to see how and why Mom’s name got put on my notice. Again. Check.
And while I whittle the time away till the chiropractic appointment at 1500...I thought I’d bring out these old floppies to be erased:

I haven’t used a floppy disk in over eight years! And since I have my entire floppy drive collection burned to a DVD anyways...I won’t miss these either. 

It may be Monday morning...I may have gotten six hours’ sleep...but I’m still not totally rested. Still:

PATS 11-0 BUT: Remember, they got caught...so this may taint any perfect record they may aspire to.

DAY OF RECKONING: Speaking ot tainted, Pat Buchanan is heralding the end of the United States. We all know why he would say this. However, he is still anti-Semitic at his core, and he belongs in the same boat as, say, Vlaams Belang.

TRAGEDY OF NEW CAPRICA: Since the end of Season 3 (from what I remember), SciFi.com has allowed Frakheads to make videos and this is one of them; at least they provide the SFX and soundtracks. Check it out.

Whoever wants this has got money to burn...but at least as the creator of this can attest, they can at least feel good about the chunk of change they’re putting down for it.

In more ways than one that is...it’s got an aprhrodisiac in it. But hurry...this offer is good only till December 14!

HAT TIP: elennar

The only thing I can figure about this is that it must be a New York City thing...always trying to one-up the competition. Back in March I wrote about an extravagant pizza, followed by a $1,000 sundae....

...and now, the owner of Serendipity 3 outdid himself by creating a $25,000 sundae. DANG!

Thank goodness this will be the last early morning I’ll have to wake up on a regular basis for a long time to come. Next Monday, after the end of DST in the rest of the country (yeah, I wonder how Indiana finally fared!), I start a late schedule which has me working from 0900 hours to 2000 hours (during DST, from 0800 to 1900.), with an 8% shift differential, which will definitely help.
Let’s see what’s out there....

REALITY SHOW LOVERS, REJOICE: The Writers’ Guild of America calls its first strike in 20 years over DVD and Internet royalties. I had a feeling this issue would eventually pop up, due to the delay in last year’s BSG Resistance webisodes.

RAZOR FREE SCREENING: This happens on Monday, November, 12...but you just won’t get the goodies that the actual SciFi movie will have, or the DVD for that matter. Better go pre-order mine BTW. What sucks is: Phoenix isn’t on the list.

WHY I’M DONE WITH COLLEGE: It’s because they want you, the student (and the parents of course!) to cough up $5,000 for...Superhero Science? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!

This week has been extremely rough on my eyes. First one eye, then the other, then both...at some point during the day (mainly in fhe morning, I’ve had to take out one of my contact lenses, forcing me to work with one eye only. I swear, one of these days I’m going to work with an eye patch in hand and play pirate. ARRRR!
But I digress.

WHY NETWORK TV SUCKS: If Battlestar Galactica were in this situation (as Bionic Woman probably is), I have a feeling it’d be gone after, say, episode 6, which would put it where Shelly Godfrey would be mind-frakking Baltar up pretty good, and we’d never know...AGAIN...if the humans ever found Earth.
BILL RESTORING AMERICA’S IMAGE: Shrillary wants her husband to bring back the image of interns on their knees in the Oval Office? Gee thanks a lot! Doesn’t matter if it’s humming or carpet munching...same thing. BAD.
DEAD HARRY ARTWORK: This earless memorial (thanks to the terrorists’ threat against the Spare) is intended to honor those in the UK who are willing but unable to serve in Iraq. I wonder what the Royal Family will have to say about this....

Man I tell ya...ever since I came back from that non-vacation in Michigan (where Mom fell ill and out of the friends who are still in that state, only one was available to visit), I have not looked forward to going to work. Does that mean I want to move back to Michigan? Not with the terrible economy they still have which was there when I left!
But I digress. Here’s what on the ticker:

TIGER WOO WINS AGAIN: That’s 13 down and only five to go until he matches the Golden Bear for career PGA Majors victories. And he’s only 32!

CHAVEZ SPEWS AGAIN: Comrade Chavez says oil will go to $100 per barrel, and he would cut exports to the United States if we attack him again. Nothing like killing your own country with prices like that. And could someone tell me the last time we actually attacked Venezuela?

SHRILLARY TOO POLARIZING: That’s what Democrtat leaders around the country are quietly saying, lest they fear her wrath. Gee, whatever took them so long to figure that one out?

Now here is one of the strangest names for a product I’ve seen in a while. Chicken hot dogs from Mexico, courtesy of your friendly Wal-Mart. It’s not a NAFTA product because it’s packaged only in Spanish first, then English; French is missing. But I digress.
I’ve read elsewhere that Mexicans do like to put these chicken hot dogs in some of their dishes, such as eggs for breakfast. I can relate to that. But still, when I saw this name, I thought of Elmer Fudd or the acronym spelled out in the title of this post. However, the word is actually pronounced as “food,” and more information can be found here. Now I have to figure out what I’ll have for breakfast....

Well my back (which is still giving me fits from time to time this week, having woke up Sunday morning with a pinched nerve, and I stayed home yesterday on my day off) is more or less cooperating today, so I can go in to work and get it adjusted tomorrow. In the meantime:

FRED WON’T LIKE THIS: The picture of a slain British toddler shows up in the computer game Law and Order: Double or Nothing. The US-based game is pulled from UK shelves, which could make it a hot item on eBay real soon.

iS THE FIX IN? You knew this was coming...Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) tells KFI 640 AM in Los Angeles about a conversation Senators Shrillary and Boxer had on an elevator.

THE NEW DIVINE? See John Travolta in drag on the big screen! Coming Soon to a Theater Near You!

Apparently, this guy in New York City didn’t get the message:

Authorities said the 42-year-old man snatched a $2,000 gold chain from the Bronx jewelry store on Friday and was making his getaway. A store clerk and two bystanders were chasing the man on foot when he pedaled into an intersection and was hit by a fast-moving bus, police said.
The suspect was taken to a hospital, where he died from head injuries. Five passengers who were jostled when the bus slammed on its brakes were also examined at the hospital.
“He lost his life for $2,000,” said the store’s owner, Lakhwinder Singh. “He’d sell it for maybe only two or three hundred. That makes no sense.”

Remember how our parents taught us to look both ways when crossing the street? That should be the other lesson you take away from this story today.
We now return you to your regular programming.

Now this pizza would surely make me throw up, and not just because it’s got six types of caviar and lobster for toppings, either. Said the chef creator:

“Sure, some people will say it is just a publicity stunt but I have researched this for over a year and think there is a demand. I have already sold one.”

If diners are still peckish after the Luxury Pizza, they can always head over to the midtown restaurant Serendipity that sells a $1,000 ice-cream sundae called Golden Opulence which is covered in 23K edible gold leaf.

After which they can defecate goldbricks....Is it any wonder why the Communists (and now, the Islamofascists) thought we are so decadent?
