BACK FOR THE ATTACK

Okay, I'm back. Sorry I haven't posted for so long. Get this at work, I've actually had to WORK! Weird concept huh? What's that you say? Yes I have a computer at home. It was unavoidably tied up. If unavoidably tied up means I was playing a damn computer game(thanks Jarrett!) for far too many hours, then yeah it was tied up.

Anyways, I haven't been up to too much so I really haven't had too much to post. I don't have a whole lot of time to post this right now. Hopefully I'll be able to post something better this weekend. For now though, here's your album cover of the week. It's crazy and I think it may inspire people to become crazy. Notice the eyes? They follow you!

ALBUM COVER OF THE WEEK

Some album covers I've put up in the past have been funny, sexy in the least interesting. This one disturbs me though. It's supposed to be funny. After all he was a comedian. You be the judge.

SUPERCENTER GET THE HELL AWAY! AN OPINIONATED RANT ABOUT THE EVILS OF WALMART SUPERCENTERS

Man I love Walmart! They treat their employees great! They do wonders for the small towns they move into, helping to support all local business' and bring loads of money into the community.

BULLSHIT!! I CAN'T STAND WALMART!

Here's an article that ran in Playboy last November. It was writen by a contributing writer named Dan Baum. I found it very interesting.

In this article a Walmart greater says she makes $15.00 an hour with benies included. Hmmm, a lowly greater makes more than people who stock the shelves and do all the grunt work and have to put up with pushy inconsiderate people all day? I know a few Walmart employees who work there and have worked there a while and make nowhere near $15.00 an hour. Most are kept at part time so walmart doesn't have to pay out for benies. All this begs the question of this woman who makes so much just for saying hello to people, who's mother or mother in law are you? I can't recall ever being greeted by the walmart greeter.

I can't wait until our downtown dries up for good. That will be great people of Minot who supported this corporate crap. You'll be thinking twice when your friends or brothers or fathers or mothers place of business shuts down.

As you can tell, I don't like this company very much.

RODNEY DANGERFIELD DIES AT 82




This is some seriously sad news. Here's a link to a site with the story. If you know me you know I was a huge fan of Rodney's. I remember when Larry and I would make trips to Fargo there were certain things that always had to go with us. Market place beef jerky, smokes and Rodney. After we passed through Grand Forks we'd always pop in a Rodney album and let that take us to Fargo. It always worked out perfectly so that the album would be ending as we were pulling into town. That was a tradition that I carried on all these years...every trip to Fargo. He was the king of the one liners and I think that I liked him so much because I took one look at him and I knew anything was possible. If he could reach a high level of fame so could I. When I turn fourty the game is on! He also used his success to further the careers of other up and coming comics who may not have ever had a chance to show their stuff. I respect that and I respect him. In a world that needs comedians now more than ever, we lost one of the great ones.
Rodney quotes
"My sex life is nothin' what are you kidding. My biggest thrill is self inflicted hickies.
My sex life is like shooting pool with a rope. I know I'm not a sexy guy. Why this morning I was putting on my underwear and I could hear the Froot Of The Loom guys giggling at me. I know I'm ugly why last Halloween trick or treaters gave me candy. One year kids tried to pull my face off! One time I stuck my head out a car window and got arrested for mooning!"

"I'm a bad lover, oh, a bad lover. You know I caught a peeping tom booing me."

"You know what real class is? When you're alone and you fart and you say Excuse me."

Well I'm gonna go and listen to a few Rodney albums and have a few cocktails and mourn.




JUST IN TIME FOR HALLOWEEN, A HORROR STORY OF A DIFFERENT KIND

Thank you Brian for bringing my attention to this article. Man cuts off penis and dog eats it! Good lord! How do you mistake your dink for a chicken's neck? And then to have your dog run up and eat it? It gave me shivers.

Har mar Superstar's latest album Handler, has some irresistible beats on it plus all the cheeky irony you can...handle.
