But what they really want is a nice guy?

Women are liars. Yes, in sweeping generalizations, and cases where the exception proves the rule, the idea that women want nice guys who are polite and funny and into music, literature and politics is total bullshit. This is true across the board and applicable to all lifestyles. Just as your average Mr-Jock-O'Clock treats his girls like crap, dresses like a catalog's nightmare and gets all the chicks so, too, does Mr-Twee-Is-Me-Come-Up-And-See-My-Etchings. Which leads me to only two choices when searching for the root of this:

1)men are asses or
2)women are liars.

In the interest of devils advocacy and robust debate I choose #2,

Oh, since I couldn't find any good indie-rock documentation of this, and am not about to post those party pictures which appear all over Vice Magazine, please enjoy Hot Chicks With Douchebags.

Don't Look Here

Go look at 24 Hour Party Pooper. There's actual stuff to read and argue about over there. All we got 'round here is black sheep and word nerds.
Oh, and a little pig in a can.

word peeve

Anyone else out there bothered when people use the term 'blog' to mean what is actually a 'post'. I have met so many people over the past month (another story altogether) who consistently referred to a single post as a 'blog'.

Memorial Day

It's Memorial Day. I don't sit on either side of any [recognizable] political fence anymore but Memorial Day is not about politics. It may well be about philosophy, but not politics. At least not the cheap sham of politics in the US.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck

I don't care about The View. Further, I don't care about the views of anyone on The View. I do, however, think that Elisabeth Hasselbeck is Babe City! And that's all I really have to say about this.

New Slang

If you are a person who uses the work "click" when what you mean is "clique" then you are a moron and I don't want to know you. Please see:

moron, unbelievable ,aw geez,creep.

The Quotable Click:

"I hate “clicks” and I hate groups of people who think that they are better and more knowledge then everyone else."
(Yeah,I hear ya. Except I disagree and am totally more knowledge than you.)

"Sorry but I hate clicks." Actually found in a blog written by advertising designers within a post called Why Advertising Sucks: A post from a friend No. 3: Excuse Me, I Don’t Speak Moron
(Come on, dude, don't sell yourself short. You do speak moron.)

Have fun with Google today. Can't you tell I just did?

Led Zeppelin

Since no one else has bothered to mention this I will: two days ago (May 6, 2007) was the 70th anniversary of the exploding of German zeppelin Hindenburg in Lakehurst, NJ.
