I Ball SoF: I'll quote what I just told Sergey
I Ball SoF: [Jennifer Love Hewitt] hit puberty like Andy Dick hit a telephone pole.
Rob T Firefly: Hah!

I just rehashed this story for a message board post, but since it's slightly amusing I'll put it here.

When I registered to vote, I registered without a party. What was fun about that is that the lady at the DMV counter completely didn't understand the concept. The conversation went thusly...

COUNTER LADY: You didn't select a party.
RTF: That's because I don't want to register with one.
CL: So you want to register as Independent Party?
RTF: No, that's a party. I don't want a party, unless there is cake involved.
CL: Cake?
RTF: Yes, cake. Or pizza. Food is what labels are for. Not people.
CL: But what party are you registering to vote with?
RTF: None of them.
CL: So, that's the Independent party.
MY MOM: You can't vote in the primary if you don't pick a party, Rob.
RTF: That's because the primary is a party thing, it's not the election. I don't want to vote in any primaries.
CL: You don't want to vote? But you're registering to vote.
RTF: No, I don't want to vote in a primary of some party of which I'm not a member.
CL: That's why you register with a party, so you can vote in their primary.
MOM: If you don't, you can't.
RTF: Oh, for crying out loud.

After that it got even more "Who's on first"-like. But eventually all parties concerned were made to understand.

Mister Murd0c: I can't help it, I hate hate hate street racers
Mister Murd0c: I like my shitty car, and thats it, no neon, no NOS and NO FUCKING 20 inch RIMZ Y0!
Rob T Firefly: Not to mention those modded Hondas are ugly as anything.
Mister Murd0c:yes
Mister Murd0c:no one seems to mention it though
Mister Murd0c:except me, when this guy in a Cavalier
Mister Murd0c:come up and asks me for directions, and I tell him his car is "fucking ugly as all shit!" he peels off trying to impress a bunch of 16 year olds. Which I think is a lot of street racer's MO's.
Rob T Firefly: It's that whole male ego thing.
Mister Murd0c: i know

I just blew far more time than I'd like to admit taking quizzes on internetjunk. Results are up on the page on which I throw such things.

Everyone's favorite person called RijilV, RijilV, has managed to get the IP he was using banned from Google. In his own words, "maybe I shouldn't have tried to lookup those 220,000 fone number or something..."

How cool is that?

This is neat.. someone actually plays along with those "Nigerian scam" emails, and sees how far he can get the perpetrators to go. He even managed to get a bunch of photos of a scammer waiting for him in an airport in Dubai. Thanks to B3ta for the link.

I've decided that next time I get dressed up to go to Rocky Horror, I want to go as my favorite underrated character, the Criminologist. Also known as "Crim," or the guy with "no fucking neck." So, I'll be making up a costume and that "Denton Affair" book of his in my spare time.

Next on Court TV: A forensic investigation by forensic experts into the forensics of forensic forensics.

The absolute best thing about the mp3 fileshares is all the unauthorized, "bootleg" remixes people make of commercially released songs. This one, for instance.

Although bad planning caused Fina and I to arrive a few hours late, the 2600 meeting was lots of fun, as always.

Rocky Horror was a blast, as always.

Fina got hit on by more women than I, as always.

2600 meeting tonight. I had hoped to see Rocky Horror afterward, but I've been unexpectedly struck insanely poor, so we might not be able to.

As Jackie Mason has said, I have enough money to last me the rest of my life... unless I buy something.

The Oracle: Candy?
Neo: D'you already know if I'm going to take it?
The Oracle: Wouldn't be much of an Oracle if I didn't.
Neo: But if you already know, how can I make a choice?
The Oracle: Because you didn't come here to make the choice, you've already made it. You're here to try to understand why you made it. I thought you'd have figured that out by now.
Neo: Why are you here?
The Oracle: Same reason. I love candy.

Last year, as is well known, Gloria Foster (who played the Oracle) passed on.

The cause of death was complications from diabetes.

Insert your own punchline here. I can't really bring myself to use any of mine.

(Transcript taken from the complete transcript which has been generously put up here.)

I Ball SoF: My dad was telling me today about how when he was young he had to do a bunch of blueprints/technical drawings for some reason. He had been up a few days before attempting this project and this was taking a toll on his work by making him nod off at random times. So my dad, in his youth genius, got a can of coffee and poured some water into it until the coffee gained the consistency of porridge. Then he took a bite. The taste was horrible so his mom (my grandma) recommended that he mix it with jam. He did.
I Ball SoF: A normal person's pulse is 62 beats per minute. My dad's pulse rose to a 120 beats per minute and this lasted for 2 days.
Rob T Firefly: Yikes. He's lucky to not be dead.
I Ball SoF: He went to the hospital and the nurse there told him that next time he wants to kill himself he should try a deficiency suicide. That is suicide through malnutrition and send the coffee over to her (cause coffee was hard to come by at those days.)
I Ball SoF: yup.
