Amazon is selling a framed movie poster from 1991’s “Cool as Ice,” starring Vanilla Ice.
The poster can be had for the paltry sum of $95.72.
On sale from $110.08.
Speaking as one who actually likes both Vanilla Ice and painfully bad movies, I think that’s a totally fair price, and have added it to my wish list..
Finally got my Halloween photos up.
I love being a geek!
(12:25:13) torsverr: RTF IS A HACKER
(12:25:35) Rob T Firefly: VICIOUS RUMOR!!!
(12:26:00) Rob T Firefly: RTF is actually a claims adjuster for a major metropolitan shepherding firm.
(12:33:05) torsverr: what is "claims adjuster"
(12:33:21) torsverr: I think we should undermine society so we can complete destroy the beauracracy
(12:33:30) torsverr: we will replace it with tribal warfare and sex orgies
(12:33:43) torsverr: just like in africa
(12:33:53) Rob T Firefly: Claims adjuster: one who investigates insurance claims or claims for damages and recommends an effective settlement.
(12:33:54) torsverr: consensuality is irrelavent!
(12:33:59) torsverr: ah
(12:34:11) torsverr: muhaha
(12:34:20) torsverr: that sounds like it could be exploited!
(12:34:26) torsverr: if there weren’t too many claims adjusters
(12:34:28) torsverr: and you knew people
(12:34:35) torsverr: but nobody knew you knoew them…
(12:34:37) Rob T Firefly: It’s a surprisingly large factor in modern shepherding.
(12:34:49) torsverr: oh
(12:34:55) torsverr: my sheep ate poison berries
(12:34:58) torsverr: will you pay up
(12:36:10) Rob T Firefly: Sorry, the sheep aren’t my problem. If the shepherd ever eats poison berries, give me a call.
(12:39:36) torsverr: but i live alone
(12:39:49) torsverr: in the distant mountains
(12:39:56) torsverr: if i eat poison berries noone will ever know
(12:40:15) Rob T Firefly: In that case, I offer my services as beneficiary.
(12:47:12) torsverr: you are so kind
(12:47:45) torsverr: just pretend you are my friend and use me arbitrarily
(12:47:51) torsverr: and it is a deal!
(12:49:39) Rob T Firefly: I’ll run it all past my lawyer as soon as he graduates from law school.
After the years I spent in retail management, I participate in Buy Nothing Day out of sympathy for the overworked retail drones who have enough problems getting through work that day without killing someone, much more than the social activism angle (which I still dig, just not as much as I’m reliving my traumas of Black Fridays past.)
As a day off work, today was fine. As a holiday, it was a bit of a wash for me. But at least my sister Jo and her fiancee (the future Mr. Jo) stopped by.
Hope all of you had good ones!
I have to work in six hours, and I am bummed.
Stumping for charitable causes is not usually something I do in public, but I feel that this might be the best way to spread the word on this particular issue..
The Walter Reed Medical Center, a military hospital, has put out a call for phone cards. Their ever-increasing number of Iraq-war-wounded patients can’t always get in touch with their families, as the center is hideously underfunded and their long distance is not covered.
Regardless of everyone’s varied feelings on the Iraq war, I think most people can agree on the need to take care of those who made deep sacrifices while serving. These phone cards will be used so patients and their families can keep in touch, which can be extra important this time of year.
If you have the means, you can majorly help out wounded soldiers who served in Iraq by sending a prepaid, toll-free-access phone card to:
Medical Family Assistance Center
Walter Reed Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20307-5001
As with any charitable call for help, I recommend you confirm things for yourself. The center’s website is http://www.wramc.amedd.army.mil, and you can contact the Medical Family Assistance Center during business hours at 202-782-2071 .
Even a $5 card will help. As you can imagine, they need an endless supply.
So, next time you’re in a convenience store, gas station, or whatever, think about whether or not you have five bucks and a stamp to spare.
You may have seen the associated press story about the precinct in Cuyahoga county that had less than 1,000 voters, and gave Bush almost 4,000 extra votes.
But that turns out to be only the tip of a very ugly iceberg…
93,136 EXTRA Votes
Found In ONE Ohio County
I’m obliged to mention that the county in question went heavily to Kerry. The iceberg does seem ugly regardless.
Barring something insanely heavy happening, this should be my final Election ‘04 post. Back to the important stuff, like this.
Just got back from the most carefree vacation I’ve had in a long time! More updates when I’m not desparate for sleep.
Just wanted to share this link. For updates from the thick of things, check out photos by my pal Jax0m, who’s marking a little time in Taji, Iraq.
Happy birthday to me! As of 3:58 AM EST, I have reached the crusty old age of…
A couple of dear friends invited me to go to Salem, Massachusetts for a few days. Woo and yay to my first Witchy tourist mission!
I may not get online during that time, so I’ll probably catch up with you all later.
If you post me a comment.. I get automatic spam comments whenever I post (thanks, Technorati!) and have had to start filtering out comments containing hyperlinks. So, when you post one, leave off the http:// or whatever. I am fully capable of cutting and pasting a URL.
Stay pink, soft, and oily!
Just saw “The Machinist” with my friend Netta. It’s not a bad flick at all, even if the “twist” ending is telegraphed to no end.
If you saw “Fight Club,” “A Beautiful Mind,” or “Memento,” I’ve ruined the surprise just by mentioning them here. Still, you would have figured it out in the first act, too.
But even if you do know the twist, the flick is definitely worth it. It’s great eye-food for anyone who really loves movies, who can appreciate the direction, the cinematography, and the fact that Christian Bale is so batshit insane that he destroyed his own body just for this role.
