Starting the day off right
If there’s one thing I probably didn’t expect to hear learned dissertations on listening to NPR this morning during the BBC World Service is the thriving Thai practice of urine drinking. Seems a Thai doctor has been telling folks to slurp their pee to cure ills. I’d prefer to hear about almost anything else first [...]
Blasphemous Sacrilege!
Now “The Yeti”:http://www.defectiveyeti.com/archives/000715.html has done it. Blockquothe the bastard: Another genre of film that I can see once a year and enjoy is the Big Animated Movie Ostensibly For Children, and this summer it was Finding Nemo. I’ve been a big fan of Pixar dating back to the days when you could only see their [...]
Just when you thought…
…it was safe and rather silent to visit the old cf.org, here I come to spoil the solitude. Hi! We just got back from our first vacation with the bambino at the “Windsong Mountain Inn”:http://www.windsongbb.com/ in — you’ll never guess… no, really — the mountains. Our thinking was that it would be somewhat cooler in [...]
Caterwauling, Take 2
There’s a vile and malignant spirit residing in my PC. Ravished, the ghoulish entity molested my defenseless C: drive, rendering it ineffectual and impotent, a storage media kindred spirit to, say, California Gov. Gray Davis. This did not sate it for long though. Oh no. You might recall that the beast began moaning and screeching [...]
Should I See “Bad Boys II” Or Pound My Nose Against A Tree?
Survey says my nose is going to have a rough weekend. “I saw this movie on a triple-dog dare. I wish I had opted to wait six months so I could stick my tongue to a flagpole in the freezing cold for an hour. A cinematic fist to the groin.” — Collin Souter, EFILMCRITIC.COM “This [...]
ColdForged Hangman, Friday Edition
Alright peoples. To prevent the instantaneous solution of my friggin’ puzzles, we’re going to do this the hard way. No more mamby-pamby clues to give it away. Pure Wheel Of Fortune action now, though with significantly decreased bust size and collagen. Clue: Movie Quote == “HEY BABE, I NEGOTIATE MILLION DOLLAR DEALS FOR BREAKFAST. I [...]
On The Long Road To Recovery
Following its public humiliation in yesterday’s verse, the loathed PC stumbled shakily back to some semblance of life last night. Enough for me to archive off all of the baby pictures (!) and Quicken data at least. My C: drive is well and truly diddled, a result of what I can only assume was a [...]
ColdForged Hangman
The classic game of hangman, made as inconvenient as possible! Sure, I could do this with Java, DHTML, Flash or some other highly technological solution, but that would be trivial and efficient! This way, I have to actually interact with you people! We’ll start easy. Clue: Aliens “bug hunt” XENOMORPH Used Letters: NOST UPDATE: Congrats [...]
