The Not so Daily Privateer

I met the LOLKitty guy today!1!

And, it's true - he's not as cool-looking as I had expected.  But why would I expect the LOLkitty guy to look cool?  I'm stupid.  Frankly, I was surprised he is a guy.

Even funnier are the comments that other people are leaving for his picture:

"How come the spelling is so bad?"

DUR.

That cat is mad famous though.

Now, on a different but important topic, here's a link to a blog about bartending.  I think certain wannabe bartenders I know can write more interesting blogs, but that's all I got today.  The dude who wrote it is all down on bartending school, but I think that part is a crock.  Bottom line, in any job, is willingness to work - and any work experience shows.  I think you know what I mean, Ms. Bartender (you can do anything you put your mind to, and you know it).

Never has the soppy emotionalism of old-guard feminist reasoning been on such open and embarrassing display.

Why Hillary Should Be Presidenr

- It is "her turn!"
- She has "the experience" but we'll only have documentation after we get our rainbows and ponies.
- He is getting a free ride because he's black.
- Did I mention that it's her turn?
- She headed a failed universal health care initiative because she blocked other Democrats from the meetings.
- She is a woman.  Thus, she should be President.
- It's her turn.
- She's won the important states.
- She's always asked the first question.
- If she isn't asked the first question, she interrupts the moderator and tries to answer first.
- She slept next to a guy who has the experience she's touting.
- It is her turn.
- She is the absentee Senator for New York.
- She doesn't read proposal titles that give the President the ability to start a war.
- If she ever DID read the proposal title, she assumed the President wouldn't go to war so she voted for it.
- OBAMAPHONE!
- Hicks in the sticks nix Blix.
- Donuts.  Lots of them.
- Five million dollars out of nowhere (loan).
- She deserves this.
- She appeals to the states that matter.
- She is for change.

Not veedeevadeevoodee, whose screenname I like.  there's no way to steal that name.

thrgd456: we are basically a state of happy people

Dude...your state just a bunch of townies. What actual industry do you have other than 'entertainment'?


We have climate. That is our attraction. Florida has a net positive cash flow. We could become our own nation and let the rest of you Effers rot. We don't need you. If you don't like us, don't come here. We're perfectly happy without you. Oh and by the way, all that 'industry' you thought you had up North, or where ever the heck you are typing from, just moved out of the country. You 'industry' just outsourced your tech job. Your 'industry' just boarded up the steel mill. I shall now quote, please avert your eyes and genuflect:

When it gets down to it — talking trade balances here — once we've brain-drained all our technology into other countries, once things have evened out, they're making cars in Bolivia and microwave ovens in Tadzhikistan and selling them here — once our edge in natural resources has been made irrelevant by giant Hong Kong ships and dirigibles that can ship North Dakota all the way to New Zealand for a nickel — once the Invisible Hand has taken away all those historical inequities and smeared them out into a broad global layer of what a Pakistani brickmaker would consider to be prosperity — y'know what? There's only four things we do better than anyone else...


Florida does it much better, and our girls are hotter.

Suck it.

Kristen's Own Song

Kristen is the hooker who got with Spitzer - her real name is Ashley Youmans, she goes by Ashlee Dupres now - nice name.  I put the link up because I think she's a really good singer, the song is great, and I really liked it.  I don't usually find a reason to listen to stuff like this - don't know what kind of music it is, kind of pop, I guess - Britney-inspired?

The link is to her Myspace, where her song plays.

Now, back to funny stuff.  I found this funny (click on it - it gets bigger):

I stole that from someone on Fark because I'm allowed to.

In the shifting sands of post-modern discourse, memes allow us to find pylons, to believe we've seen something or passed something.  They give us the notion that we've existed and shared that existence with Others.

They are our equivalent of ancient constellations.  They come out at night, we tell stories and snark. 

In the end, memes tie us firmly to nature, and they allow us to say or deny anything we wish, encircling us like sharks, playing with us like shiny metal balls in the gnarled talons of Fate.

Daily Quotes from Fark:

Choeki says:

Pretty minor stuff actually (no pun intended).  Yes, there are onna-otaku but it's a teeny-tiny segment that exists for the overt stuff like butler cafes and new entities like schoolboy cafes. After all, it's the whole mizushoubai (water trade/adult services industry) sleaze element that supposedly is driving them away to Otomoe Road in Ikebukuro from Akihabara. Considering that Otome Road is so small that you would easily miss it if you were only casually looking for it (mostly just four storefronts verses the mishmash of backstreets in Akihabara packed with maid cafes, AV stores and other similar venues), I get the feeling that this is going to stay very niche - just like the butler cafes when they appeared a couple of years ago.

Actually in Japan, they would refer to you as haffu (as in half-blood/breed/Japanese).  Even less respectful people may even say you're bataa-kusai (stink of butter) if you can't speak Japanese or behave like a "real" Japanese person could. There's worse, but since I'm basically just a sankokujin who happened to be born in beikoku there are worse terms that can apply to me in the Japanese language...


I found out I'm worth exactly $1,861,872
That was at HumanforSale.com, which is a kind of jacked up website.  It says Pacific Islanders are worth zero.  I should take it again as a haole, ya?

And men are of course worth more than women - and that's just the truf, says that site.
