Like this:

blondie: Hi do you have anything we can dance to?
steve: can't you dance to this? (while playing James Brown - Papa's Got A Brand New Bag)
blonde: me and my friends don't dance to this country music.
steve: but it's James Brown!
blondie: (looks confused)
steve: have you never heard of James Brown?
blondie: I've heard of Bobby Brown

As background; I work downtown and use the A B C Parking ramps (which appears to be owned by the city of Minneapolis), ramp C in particular is where I park everyday. I have to pay for this parking, about $120 a month. I do this because there is no good bus routes that goes by my house, I car pool part of the time which helps a bit.

Last summer while I was on a business trip my car was broken into. I left my car there for a number of days and all that was taken was some change so I didn't think much of it. Just this past Tuesday my car was broken into again, I guess 5 other cars were also broken into to all in the middle of the day while I was at work (sometime between 8:00AM and 5PM). They didn't really take much, my change and my monthly parking pass. They did totally trashed my car, including trowing everything that was in my trunk into my front seat (they didn't take a unopened bottle of Patron that was in the trunk though - very strange.) Anyway, I was much more annoyed this time because of the trashing of my car. I did feel lucky though, a few of the other cars had their windows broken and had GPS's stolen out of them. This is supposed to be a monitored, guarded ramp that we pass good money to park in mind you.

My biggest gripe about all of this come when I went to get a new monthly pass today. I had to walk down to their main office, which is about six blocks down from my work which is annoying but whatever. I get there tell them what happened, they had the report I filed on Tuesday on record so everything was fine until I get the new card. They fucking charged me for it! They said all lost cards must be re-purchased. WTF! I told them IT WAS STOLEN IN YOUR RAMP! IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY! Zero sympathy, no break for me, nothing. The cost wasn't even that much, but it's the fucking principle of the damn thing. I pay over a $100 a month to park in your "secured" ramp but get broken into anyway and now you are making me pay to get a new monthly card. The city can kiss my ass

As a passing note, they have a new marketing push to get people to park in their ramps then take the light rail to the airport. Here's the slogan they should use: Park in our ramps while your on vacation so you can get robbed and we can screw you afterwords.

In case you haven't seen Marley and Me, these spoilers should get you up to speed.





Actually someone here at my work sent out an all agency email warning parents not to bring there kids to this movie. I guess it's a pretty well made movie, but it's not for kids at all. Not only does the dog die, but they kill it very slowly, as one reviewer puts it:

Then it happened. They killed the dog. And it took them 20 minutes to do it. They went into detail after detail. The pain. The children crying. The sickness. The the vet scene where Owen Wilson says good-bye to Marley. Then finally you watch them administer the eutanazia, you watch it hit the dogs system, and finally you watch his eyes close.

You have been warned.

Now for a video.

Can someone tell me how these fucking "psychics" are still around, milking people for money. Check out Sylvia Browne's predictions for 2008

Student Arrested For Terroristic Threatening

A high school student wrote a story about his high school being over run by zombies. His fucked up grand parents found the story, assumed it was some kind of crazy threat and had him arrested!

"My story is based on fiction," said Poole, who faces a second-degree felony terrorist threatening charge. "It's a fake story. I made it up. I've been working on one of my short stories, (and) the short story they found was about zombies. Yes, it did say a high school. It was about a high school over ran by zombies."

Even so, police say the nature of the story makes it a felony. "Anytime you make any threat or possess matter involving a school or function it's a felony in the state of Kentucky," said Winchester Police detective Steven Caudill.


Wow, you just can't make this stuff up

This is really a crazy story I found though digg.com, I am going to reprint the entire blog post from FireDogLake.com. Unfortunetly their servers can't seem to handle the huge traffic they are getting from the digg effect

Repost:
We noticed last week that it was awfully peculiar that Colorado’s U.S. Attorney, Troy Eid, had so airily dismissed conspiracy charges against the three white-supremacist tweakers who were caught planning to assassinate Barack Obama at last week’s Democratic National Convention in Denver.

Now it turns out that those suspicions were fully warranted:

KUSA - 9Wants to Know has learned three men in Denver planned to assassinate U.S. Senator Barack Obama during the Democratic National Convention in Denver by sneaking into one of his events and shooting him with a gun hidden inside of a camera, according to federal court records.

Nathan Johnson's girlfriend, whom 9NEWS is not naming because she's a juvenile, said it would have to be a suicide mission. The plot is similar to that in the 1992 movie "The Bodyguard" starring actors Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston. In the movie, Costner stops an assassination attempt against Houston by spotting a weapon hidden inside a gutted-out TV camera.

Johnson, Shawn Adolf and Tharin Gartrell all thought that Obama had a suite in the third floor of the Hyatt hotel, where they were staying. In fact, the Senator was staying in another Denver Hotel.

The men were doing methamphetamine inside the hotel with two women on Aug. 23 discussing the plot to kill Obama, according to federal records.

Adolf said "it would not matter if he killed Senator Obama because police would simply add a murder charge to his pending charges," according to the records. There were seven outstanding warrants for Adolf's arrest.

The underage woman told law enforcement that Adolf also talked about using "a high-powered rifle 22-250 from a high vantage point" to shoot Senator Obama during his acceptance speech at INVESCO Field at Mile High during the DNC.

Even more significant, beyond the details of the plot, was the fact that, as the Colorado Independent notes, the FBI asked for more serious charges to be filed and were turned down.

When police searched the hotel rooms and cars the men were using, they confiscated meth, needles, laptops, cell phones, a black mask, books indicating check fraud and forgery, bags of new clothes, tactical pants and bar coupons.

Based on the evidence, FBI special agent Robert Sawyer believed there was probable cause to charge the men with conspiracy to kill Senator Obama. However, US Attorney Troy Eid last week said there is insufficient evidence to indicate a true threat, plot or conspiracy against the senator.

Note the language used by Eid in dismissing the gravity of the case: the case isn't serious because they were "more aspirational, perhaps, than operational"? Well, when it was the Liberty Seven -- black Muslim men who were described by the FBI as "aspirational rather than operational" -- there was no hesitation by the Justice Department in bringing charges.

Another funny thing: When a black man in prison sent a threatening letter containing baby powder to John McCain, Troy Eid brought down the full force of the law, complete with press conferences and public declarations that "We won't stand for threats of this kind in Colorado."

But when it’s a claque of white men with rifles, disguises, and all the accoutrement of a conspiracy – as well as open admissions to it – Troy Eid isn’t worried. After all, they just a bunch of harmless, tweakers, right? … Just like little Timmy McVeigh.

But then, when you’re a Karl Rove operative promoted to deliver justice the Republican way, as Troy Eid is, that’s the way the scales fall. As Marcy reported at the time, Eid in fact nearly didn't get the Colorado job because of concerns about "improper lobbying."

His failure to take this matter seriously is itself a serious matter. When law-enforcement officials let this stuff slip by, they send a dangerous message to other would-be plotters out there. And next time, they may in fact be more competent.

I think I have to stop playing soccer for the season (I made it through the whole season but I will miss the playoffs)

Giant of Internet Radio Nears Its 'Last Stand'
Pandora, Other Webcasters Struggle Under High Song Fee

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Pandora is one of the nation's most popular Web radio services, with about 1 million listeners daily. Its Music Genome Project allows customers to create stations tailored to their own tastes. It is one of the 10 most popular applications for Apple's iPhone and attracts 40,000 new customers a day.

Yet the burgeoning company may be on the verge of collapse, according to its founder, and so may be others like it.

"We're approaching a pull-the-plug kind of decision," said Tim Westergren, who founded Pandora. "This is like a last stand for webcasting."

That really sucks

Last Sunday my soccer game was at noon. I didn't think much of it, it's only an hour long right.

Well I got so sunburned on the top of my head - my poor noggin went though my whole life not seeing the sun and now it gets pounded by the sun every day.

My whole head started peeling a couple of days ago and now it looks like I have the worst case of dandruff in the history of mankind.

*sigh*

Yes, it's real - Hard Creamer. For those folk who find Hard Cider just to damn hard.

We have really fucked this planet up

So last night as I'm leaving the bar I see quite a ruckus. It's probably about 2:30, I walk out of the back door of GZ (Last night was really fun BTW, the performers all did SO GOOD).

When I open the back door I see this huge fight going on. It is obviously a fight that is spilling out of Conga, a Latin bar across the about a block away from the bar I work in on Fridays. I see about 10 guys chasing after one guy, they occasionally catch up and throw some blows. When it gets to the middle of the parking lot of the bank that separates my bar and Conga it kind of dissolves into the kind of scrum that most large fights break up into. A lot of people talking shit to each other, plenty of people in between the fighters, some pushing and shoving but nothing big.

About this time the cops show up, not less then four or five squad cars and an ambulance. They park all over the parking lot, including boxing me in. At this point there is not much I can do, so me and most of the other GZ employees kick back to watch the show. The cops are walking around talking to people, they put a couple of people in cuffs but nothing too crazy. There are also a few squads that never get out of their cars, I guess they are just there for back up.

In the middle of this I notice four guys who are obviously hammered, they kind of stumble to their car and climb in. One of them is still holding a half full beer bottle. This is pretty fancy black car that has giant shinny rims, these guys have some money and they are the kind of tools that like to show off. This is happing about 20 to 30 feet from a squad car with two cops sitting in it. The drunk guys proceed to leave and drive over a curb and take off down the ally. We all see this and are kind of flabbergasted. Then one of us calls out "watch them try to take a right" (at the end of the alley there is a one way street that you can only turn left on). Sure enough - these assholes try to turn right (They figure it out eventually and turn around on the one way.)

At this point I've had enough, these fuckers are going to kill someone. So I jog over to the cop car that is sitting there. I walk to the passenger side window and start telling the cops what just happened (RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR EYES) I describe what these guys have done, and the fact they got into their car with an open bottle and how they tried turning the wrong way on a one way. This entire time I am getting a completely blank stare. At the end of telling them this all I get is a kind of nod and a "hmmp" from the cops. I walk back to where all of us are standing and watch the cops proceed to do nothing for at least 5 minutes. They finally drive off in the OPPOSITE direction.

Nice to know the cops are keeping us safe.

I hate that fucking jingle from Subway. I swear I find myself singing it all the damn time.

Five. Five dollar. Five dollar foot loooong....


ARRRGGGG

I'm going to take a drill to my head to bore the song out.i

I'm going to personally protest by not going to Subway for as long as they have that campaign going (not that I really go there much anyway)

I think it is actually a real product

Last night we found out that Ground Zero will no longer be open on Thursdays or Fridays.

They are looking to do new formats on those nights, so they will reopen, but Bondage A Go Go and Corrosion are done.

BaGG has been running non-stop since the early 90's - it's a sad day.

A friend of mine was roofied at the Front on Friday. She just started working as a cocktail waitress at the Front (it was her first day.) I saw her around 11 on my way into GZ, she was acting kind of drunk which made me very nervous - I couldn't figure out why she would have been drinking on her first night.

Later that night she was told to go home because she was too drunk. I drove her home, she was totally out of it on the way to her house. Today I found out she only had diet coke to drink all night. She doesn't remember anything beyond the first hour or so of the night, she woke up at 4:00 am feeling like shit. She went to the hospital and they drew her blood. They told her she had a high level of a roofie type drug in her system. She was in bed all weekend feeling like she had the flu.

Thank goodness I was there to drive her home, this kind of shit is so scary.


Once again, I know you all know this but still: WATCH YOUR DRINKS

So Saturday I was just laying around flipping through channels and ran across this show called The Pickup Artist on VH1. It’s a reality show that teaches “eight lovable losers” who are "socially awkward" how to be total douche bags and pick up girls. I found myself sucked into this horrible piece of television and watched a few of the episodes (it was a marathon.) It was like looking at a car crash between a short bus full of brain dead kids and a Porsche Cayenne full of asshole stripy shirt guys; it’s a horrible thing that I shouldn’t watch, but yet strangely compelling.

It really was one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen. They had this whole language full of terms like: “Neg” which is a playfully negative term you tell a woman to show her you’re not intimidated by her beauty. Or a “Roll off” which is showing disinterest by turning your body. You add all of these crazy terms together and you get a phrase like this:

So I bounced to this set and dropped a great gambit. When I stacked some wicked treads and dropped a few negs I got some serious IOI’s, and even a kino. I wanted to show I have DHV so I rolled off to hit some more moving targets.

Who are these people?

The icing on the cake is the fact that the whole show is lead by a chod named Mystery (I shit you not) he is the teacher and guru for these “socially awkward lovable losers.” "Mystery" dresses like a goth pirate who puked on Jamiroquai




Anyone else ever seen this show?

Watch this news story. It's about the Texas Legislation, two thing really piss me off about it; One how few legislators are actually there for each vote, and two - you will see when you watch the video. After seeing this I am so curious if every state is run this way, if I had to guess I would guess that it is. Every TV station in the country should watch this and do their own investigation.

Or a sign of the apocalypse;

Here are some amazing photos taken right afterwards



For those of you who don't know, 35W is the main North-South freeway through Minneapolis. Everyone who lives here has driven on that bridge.

MN Dot has a list of alternate routes to use.

I was on Nicolette Island when the bridge collapsed (for out of towner's that is about a half mile to a mile up the river) I had just arrived when everything happened. I got a call that told me about it so I rushed outside. I could see all the smoke from where I was, and of course I could hear all the emergency vehicles and saw thousands of people streaming that way.

What a surreal situation.

*edit* Here is video

Based on the advice of many people, I'm watching the movie Hell House right now. What a fucked up movie - the main father guy is really creepy. Anyone else think there is something wrong going on in that family? No wonder his wife left him. That poor daughter though, I have a feeling her story is not going to end well.

I also realized that I probably work in the two bars that are the most "hell bound" of any bars in the Twin Cities, how awesome is that.

*edit* I want to point out I have no problem with people who are spiritual or religious. My Grandfather was a methodist minister for 40 years and my other Grandmother was a leader in the southern Quaker community for decades. It's only the fanatics that I have a problem with.

Shinders closed The place has been around since 1916 but it is now done. That was my place growing up; I went there for comics, then D&D books, then Magic Cards not to mention some porn every now and again.

Live journal won't allow the coding for Snap Shot, it's such a cool program, but LJ with their anti java scripting policy won't allow it.

Using webmaster tools I did discover that 157 people have linked to this post of mine. Kinda cool.

Woman jailed for testicle attack

A woman who ripped off her ex-boyfriend's testicle with her bare hands has been sent to prison.

The pair remained on good terms and on 30 May she picked him up from a party in Crosby and went back for drinks with friends at Mr Jones's house.

An argument ensued and Mr Jones said there was a struggle between them.

In his statement, Mr Jones said she grabbed his genitals and "pulled hard".

He added: "That caused my underpants to come off and I found I was completely naked and in excruciating pain."

The court heard that a friend saw Monti put Mr Jones's testicle into her mouth and try to swallow it.

She choked and spat it back into her hand before the friend grabbed it and gave it back to Mr Jones. Doctors were unable to re-attach the organ.

In a letter to the court, Monti said she was sorry for what she had done.

She said: "It was never my intention to cause harm to Geoff and the fact that I have caused him injury will live with me forever. I am in no way a violent person."

This is an amazing story.

Last year, by exposing Boy Scout pedophiles and those who failed to kick them out of the scouting program, we energized three of our community's big forces against us, including those most able to punish our newspaper -- the community's majority religion, the richest guys in town, and the conservative machine that controls Idaho.

I am a big fan of scary movies. I've watched some pretty good scary movies in the past year or so. The Decent was very good, Wolf Creek was pretty entertaining, and of course I always love a good zombie movie, but tonight I just watched the scariest movie I have seen in years, if not ever; Jesus Camp was absolutely horrifying!

I highly recommend everyone watching this movie. You all need to see what is happening in this country, it is some scary ass shit!

PS You get to see some Ted Haggard footage that is pre-scandal - pretty fucking funny.

It's scary that in this day and age, candidates for president could still think that way.

Stand-in mistress sought to take wife's abuse
BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese businessman has advertised on the Internet for a stand-in mistress to be beaten up by his wife to vent her anger and to protect his real mistress, Chinese media reported on Monday.

Disney Radio Hosts' Rant: Obama's a 'Halfrican', Cut Off Detainees' Genitals

"Obama isn't black because his family wasn't slaves. Bomb Syrian mosques. Cut off the fingers and penises of detainees. Burn people alive and dig up dead environmentalists to kill them again." That's the type of commentary Disney/ABC-owned radio station KSFO in the San Francisco area broadcasts on the airwaves. One liberal blogger took a stand—and Disney tried to shut him down. Could Disney get away with censorship in the digital age? Nope. And here are the clips to prove it.read more...

Have you seen any of the trailers for the movie Primeval?

It's billing itself as "the true story of the most prolific serial killer in history." The trailers talks about how this killer has "killed more then 300 people and is still at large"

There is another trailer that says: Jack the ripper - 5 victims, the Boston strangler (or some other killer I can't remember) - 6 victims, Gustave - 300 victims and still at large.

So I got curious about this killer. I did some research, I thought I had heard about a Russian serial killer that killed a ton of people but I didn't know if this was about him or what.

Turns out this is a movie about Gustave the crocodile, a crocodile in Burundi! What the fuck! Talk about misleading ads. How can a crocodile be a "serial killer", by definition you have to be a person to be considered a serial killer. I wonder if they could be sued for false advertising?
