Fish sold by species and wattage
Friday, July 11th, 2003Unique, opinionated, funny and purple. What more could you want?
Friday, July 11th, 2003I think I found a new addition to my semi-daily weblog reading list in the collective works of one April Winchell. Where and how I managed to come across this site I have since forgotten. But this matters not to one who is looking for any good reason to have a good laugh.
Hell, her multimedia section alone is worthy of a link, and just the thing to help kill those precious minutes between now and the weekend. Everyone needs a good Friday laugh, I say. Go visit now.
Can the leisure suit in a bottle be far behind?
Thursday, July 10th, 2003Wondering what the hot new item for the modern Japanese woman is these days? Why it’s spray-on silk stockings! Yet more proof that the Japanese will make any product whatsoever just to prove they can, not to mention proof that human just love products in spray form. The spray silk substance used is supposedly waterproof to boot, so your stockings will last through any nasty old rain storm. But how about removal?
It does almost look like she is wearing regular silk stockings. And with a lot of soap, and a bit of scrubbing, they can be washed off in the shower.
A little bit of scrubbing? The shit sticks to your legs and is waterproof. To me it doesn’t sound like anything less that 80 grit sandpaper or steel wool is gonna get it off. Say goodbye to your epidermis, ladies! ^_^
Stepping beyond sweatsocks and steel chairs
Thursday, July 10th, 2003USA Today has a little write-up on the upcoming novel by former pro-wrestler Mick Foley, Tietam Brown. I’m kind of interested to see what it’s like, having gone through both of his other works. His style is what sold those books to me more than the content, and I think he has a fair chance to be a successful author. Of course, going from writing autobiographies of your wrestling career to fictitious novels is a big step:
Foley remembers Williams’ early critiques: “Having come from a world where huge holes in a story line, implausible plot contrivances and completely unrealistic characters were not necessarily considered bad things, I found Vicky’s standards awfully tough to live up to.”

Thursday, July 10th, 2003For those who haven’t already heard about the National Do Not Call Registry, this is definitely a site you want to check out. It takes just a few minutes to sign up and verify your application by e-mail, which is a great investment of time considering how much of it you’ll get back from not having to deal with most telemarketing calls (yes Virginia, there are exceptions).
If you sign up before August 31, then you can expect to get considerably less dinner time sales pitches starting October 1. Sign up later than that and expect to wait three months before your name shows up on the list, so sign up ASAP.
