So, in my dream, Ellen Page wandered by wearing an Alan Page football jersey. It doesn't take a court-ordered psychotherapy guy to see what happened here: in "X-Men 3", Ellen played Kitty Pryde, a character from Illinois. And Alan Page finished his Hall of Fame career playing for Chicago, a town located - of all places - in Illinois! It's really satisfying to be master of your own subconscious like that.

So there's this TV commercial for free credit scores. Turns out this guy had three scores they had to check. . .when they pulled them up, there were these three guys, each representing one of the credit scores. The first two were pretty good looking - tall, strong dudes. But the third one was this gross little bald guy! Total dork. He didn't fit in with the other two at all. He was supposed to be a bad credit score, and he sure looked like it. I was telling the TV "Get that guy outta there! He's terrible!" Fortunately, they replaced him with another tall hunk like the first two. This totally solved the problem, 'cuz that little bastard was ruining everything! He never should have been there to begin with.

It's probably my duty to be annoyed that the premise of some new movie called "Hanna" appears to be stolen from a decade-old Batman story which featured a mute Asian chick who had been raised as an assassin becoming the new Batgirl (which, in turn, was practically a rip-off of Azrael's origin saga).

What a thanksgiving! This was one for the scrapbooks. . . Ol' Mother Nature had thrown us one curveball we didn't expect, as the snowstorm picked up and made for trouble clean across the state. So we set out extra early - ain't no way we were going to miss Grandma's famous pumpkin gravy! But the weather caught up to us, and we got stuck in a rut just outside the county line. I got my shovel and started digging; it was the only choice we had. I dug my little heart out, but didn't seem to be gettin' no where, til I heard a voice. . .strong as the mountain, and yet soft as the summer hay. . . "Show's over, boys!" Holy cow - that's what Grandma used to say whenever she caught us skinny dipping in the molasses! It was Grandma! There she stood, trowel in one hand and gravy boat in t'other. . .She had spied us from the hillside, and come down to help! She laughed that magical laugh of hers, and that golden twinkle in her eye told me it was all gonna be alright. So, together, me and Grandma dug and dug, but we didn't seem to be getting nowhere. So finally, we sat down, and we had that gravy right there by the roadside, all 9 of us. Who woulda pictured such a sight! Then right before dark, a lone convoy come by and gave us a lift back to the base - we tiptoed in just in time to get the very last slice of ol' fashioned biscuit pie, and catch a peek at the stripper the sarge had hired. Well, the kids slept like logs that night, and as I tossed another fiddle on the fire, I lit up my pipe and leaned back and remembered to gave thanks for Grandma and all she'd done to make this a Thanksgiving to remember about.

If we learned anything from the old cartoons, it's that Alice the Goon loves Popeye. She would say "I love Popeye" over and over in that nasal, unintelligible goon-speak of hers, sounding not unlike the unseen adults on Charlie Brown shows. Studies have shown that one of the healthiest things you can be doing is to repeat "I love Popeye, I love Popeye" as often as possible, imitating not the voice of Alice the Goon, but the reliable, objective timbre of your favorite news anchor. You can do this while relaxing at home, getting in your reps at the gym, or during brief pauses in company meetings when no one else is speaking.

Why there's different rules for some people, I do not know. On the one hand, you have a diligent, dedicated company manager, on call essentially 24/7, who once in a while fails to be sterling-goddamn-perfect on the phone with some of the lower level employees, mostly due to the high pressure and high volume of her workload, combined with the inefficiency of said employees upon whom she relies for important data. And yet these same people, whom she's always having to chase down for time-sensitive reports, can whine to the owner that the manager was "short" with them on the phone, and the owner is suddenly in the manager's face demanding better teamwork and positive communication skills from her. Nevermind that the owner, too, has been complaining about the same inept peons for weeks and months yet for some reason refuses to clean house and hire someone reliable. Beats me. Sometimes you just can't win. If you're good, you need to be *better*. But if you're a useless baby, you get naptime and a lolipop and a free paycheck for showing up.

Dear diary, I sometimes end up with church people on the internet calling me an "asshole" without my even trying. You would hope that people who get outraged over some nobody preaching mildly against the grain would notice that their responses are so very incongruent with their religious claims, to the point that it might open their eyes. Perhaps not. Anyway, your lunch is ready.
It's probably still a good idea to tell mad scientists they'll never get away with it even if deep down inside you kind of suspect they will.

I don't think those guys in Denver's front office know what they're doing. . .weren't they paying attention when Cutler claimed he has the strongest arm in the league?! Sometimes a 25-year-old just has to roll up his sleeves and whine for anyone to take him serious. God bless you, Jay - you're one of the good ones.

So forget it.

I stumbled across this old transcription of a bible study by Vernon "David Koresh" Howell. Quite interesting - it's pretty obvious where he's going by the end of the script, alluding to his belief that he himself personally is named in scripture as God's ultimate prophet (which he conveniently changed his own name to. What are the odds?) The bit where they're trying to guess how far it is to Israel is somehow hysterical. [Keywords: HFS, delusional sickoid]

So this evening I watched the replay of the Super Bowl from seven months ago. I didn't mention it at the time, but I was totally baffled by the Patriots' decision to forego a not-unreasonable 48- or 50-yard field goal attempt and instead try to gain 13 yards on 4th down. But now, I question even more their previous play on 3rd and 7 from the Giants' 25. . .in a low scoring game, you simply cannot afford to lose yardage in that area of the field, yet Tom Brady was sacked for 6 yards. Whatever Brady was looking for that play, he should have been fully prepared to throw the ball away and preserve a chance at a 42 yard kick. The best call there would have been a QB sneak, but I'm not some fancy city feller on the TV, so bear in mind I may not know what I'm talking about.

When I was the Customer Service Lead, I tried at one point to encourage my employees to engage in maximum utilization of all of our available resources to solve problems, a concept I liked to call "Maxilization". Sadly, the idea didn't catch on. My attempts to get people to think for themselves a little and grow beyond the need for babysitting always failed. All I wanted was to be able to compile the boss' special reports without having to stop and field questions like "Kebin, what do this customer want?" (when the answer is clearly "Um, I wouldn't know. How about you ask him.") Someday, maxilization will be indispensible to the business world, and then you'll all come crawling back. But I'll be out on a boat somewhere. In a luxurious fur coat.

I'm seeing a tremendous possibility for online performance art with World Of Warcraft. Anything from giving your character a little kid name like Billy Peterson, and going around asking random players where babies come from, to naming yourself Multi-Level Mage and asking everybody "HELLO FRIEND!

I bet it would be really satisfying to announce to the WoW community, "I'm not ready for my co-workers to hear this, but I want you all to know that I AM OFFICIALLY GAY. It feels so great to finally open up about my true feelings!" Making people uncomfortable is more appealing to me than the route my daughter has chosen, which involves informing the hardcore nerds of Azeroth that it isn't real.

So, New Harbingers of Pith received a message from a BigTime Entertainment agent, saying we'd fit in fine at the gig he's putting together for 93.3 FM ("The Bone"). Sadly, I had to tell him that it's just me, and there is no band. Or concert. Or radio station. (Although, I didn't have the heart to inform him that he's not really a booking agent, but actually an Iraq veteran with PTSD).

 I just about had an accident the first time I saw this. What do you see? I see a political statement. It's quite obvious what kind of resident this apartment complex welcomes: BLACK people. Black couples with one child and no faces, to be exact. Not white people, brown people, green people, or anybody of *any* appearance other than jet black. Not even black people with zero children, or several children, or any singles. Etc. Is there anything more satisfying than Disgust? Seriously, if more people would over-react, we could change the world.

"Entertainment is used to indoctrinate or spread disinformation." 
For a few weeks now, we've been letting our cat come and go as she pleases. At times, we won't see her until the next day, prompting Wife to joke that perhaps there's some other family that takes her in at night. It's not funny to me, though, so I'm sure you'll agree that this leaves me no alternative but to write "FUCK YOU" on her flea collar.

I feel grief in my bosom for anyone who hasn't bought a new vacuum cleaner in the past 15 years. Our old Dirt Devil gave out yesterday, so we replaced it this evening with a less expensive machine. Let me tell you that for the past 45 minutes, cleaning the floors has been a delight, which is a word I don't just toss around anymore. Those of you who have an extra $50 or $75 lying around are encouraged to go out and treat yourself to a new Eureka or Hoover. Truly, my friend, you and I are living in the Golden Age of sustained suction technology.

Well, those Waxahachie brothers really know their Speed Racer. From the fact that Trixie automatically knew how to pilot a helicopter and had the means to obtain one, to the exquisite xylophone work throughout the score, this film had everything it should've. Even a cameo by Peter Hernandez, who first imported and voiced Speed back in the 60s. My only serious problem was the disregard for the fact that upon entering a race he was forbidden to drive, Speed didn't use his real name - he entered under the inconspicuous persona of "Happy Doodle". This kind of oversight is unacceptable. I enjoyed the movie, and never ever wish to see it again.

I keep hearing this song "Believe" by some band called The Bravery, since apparently the Dallas Stars have adopted it as their theme during the playoffs. I have to say, swiping a Lenny Kravitz song and naming it after another Lenny Kravitz song is a pretty resourceful method of songwriting.

A book is underway about farmer Steven L. Gibbs, who claims he received a message from himself from the future, which included a diagram for a time machine called the Sonic Resonator. After building and testing the device, Gibbs renamed it the Hyper Dimensional Resonator and began selling them.

Jim Nabors really looks like he could go at any time. Everyone loves him from his days as Gomer Pyle.

Also he was some kind of singer.

So the new Terminator series on Fox isn't too horrible,which for a TV show is remarkable. Sarah Connor and son John continue their journey towards the future with a new cyborg protector and a reasonable premise of uncertainty on their destiny (which makes sense due to the fluid continuity that a concept like time-travel allows for). John Connor is 15 now, so I'm wondering if he's old enough for his mom to give him the all-important Menopause Talk. . .Surely *all* teenage sons receive an out-of-the-blue explanation by their Mommy about the ordeals of menopause, right? Or was I the only one? I mean, that's not borderline perverted in the least.

This article about the overlooked aspects of the alien presence (entitled "Overlooked Aspects of the Alien Presence") warns of the many factors that could impede our efforts to accurately identify aliens' intents, by posing the question "How can one distinguish between positive aliens and cunning impostors?" Fortunately, it clarifies for us that "Positive aliens are those who have transcended the vices and limitations that still challenge us, who have attained the heights of spiritual chivalry and serve Creation in the name of freedom, truth, and love. They value spirituality over physicality, respect the freewill of others, and subtly guide us toward fulfilling our spiritual potential without smothering us into becoming dependent on such guidance." So now we know that beings who appear to fit these criteria can be trusted! You just can't go wrong with subtle guidance toward your spiritual potential. Because "The fulcrum of this timewar rests within us", etc.
Injun killin' is in my blood. I got it bad. Ever' time I see an injun, or even a cowboy dressed like an injun for some crazy stunt, I just start to shootin' and a-kickin'. Just my nature, I guess. An' after that, I ride around shirtless, lookin' for whisky out in the hills. If'n the weather allows.

Note to football coaches: when you're clinging to a touchdown lead with just minutes left, and you have the ball and are trying to drain the clock, run the ball instead of passing. Both Tampa Bay (3 games ago against Washington) and Detroit (yesterday vs Dallas) threw an incomplete pass on 3rd down with like 2 minutes left, which stopped the clock. Had they run, even for no gain, that's another 25-30 seconds that would have elapsed, leaving the opponent even less time than they had. Washington fell short in their comeback efforts, but did have adequate time to work with, while Detroit allowed Dallas to score with 18 seconds left - time they should not have had. If you're going to be conservative, do it right and bleed the @#$% clock. Does no one call a quarterback draw anymore?!

"Hey, wait, biatch - I'm on your side!" Deacon Jones (not the football player) crossed his fingers repeatedly, hoping that the ray gun was as substandard as everything else around here. "I said 'I'm on your side'" he pleaded, as he turned to face both the music, and the weirdo who had taken aim at his innards. But there was no longer anyone there; only a trail of radioactive dust which reminded him of something. Before beginning his hike back to wherever he had come from, he re-evaluated his orders. The scotch tape keeping the plan intact yellowed and cracked with each neuron that bombarded it. Those infomercial people would answer for what they done, sending him on this errand of fools. He considered how they had deceived everyone on the squad, and he hated the idea of becoming one of them. The next time he encountered his prey, he would come clean. "I lied. I'm not on your side." Jones rehearsed this over and over until he forgot why he was walking, what he was wearing, and how awful space food was. "Biatch."

Back in junior high school, I really loved Styx. These days, I look back and recognize how bad they were.

James Young really needs to be kept away from microphones at all times.

Jesus' Teaching on Hell: A good study on the intent and meaning of the word "Gehenna" as used by Jesus, which is largely mistranslated to mean what we commonly call "hell". It would appear that he was essentially telling his listeners that unless they repent, it would be Little Bighorn for them. Or that if they refuse to mend their ways, they would face Hiroshima. It seems that Gehenna was a specific place at which specific events had historically occurred to the Israeli people, and its usage was not addressing the eternal fate of individual persons.
