The very worst system...

I don't do any poli-blogging over here, or anywhere else for that matter, but I an across something today that I have to comment on.

I followed a link over at Wizbang and came to Ben Hammersly's site. I liked the page design and the content of the post Kevin linked. So, I clicked home and browsed the rest of the site. Some interesting stuff...

I came to a post titled The very worst system, apart from all the others. Reading down through it was just regular old bullshit stuff... then came at the end...

...The other point to ponder is a mischievous one: given the US’s unique role on the international stage, is it morally right for its election to be decided, or even participated in, only by its own citizens?
Now go down and read the comments from foreign nationals.

I don't care what your political views views are, or whether or not I agree with them, this is absolutely unacceptable! Our elections are to be decided by us and us alone. This is NOT a one world government. The United States is a sovereign nation, governed by the consent of it's own citizens, not the citizens of the world. They have no right to participate in our electoral processes, moral or otherwise.

I hope that some of you poli-bloggers take up this particular issue, I would like to hear your thoughts and opinions on it.

Go read the post and make sure you take in the commentary also.

Hippo Dog Lion Sleeps Tonight

Damn... I must be the Google Monster King of the Blogsphere! Internet!

I bet I get 100 google search hits a day... people searching for all kinds of shit... go check out my sitemeter any time and you'll see pages of google and yahoo searches... but there is one in particular search term that I get all kinds of hits on:

Hippo Dog Lion Sleeps Tonight

I have always wondered just what the fuck that same person(s) keeps coming to my site like that... just bookmark it already. Freak!

Well, today I got a comment in an old post that reads:

Okay, The hippo and lion sleeps tonight thing... incase your still wondering you can see what the fuck everyone is searching it for...

http://pyer.3dvf.net/

It's from a french TV cartoon and is probably the best cga I've ever seen.

I haven't followed the link back yet but if it helps I'll post a link myself to the Hippo Dog Lion Sleeps Tonight for all those people searching for the Hippo Dog Lion Sleeps Tonight video thingy. That way when people enter Hippo Dog Lion Sleeps Tonight in google, I will be #1 search result for Hippo Dog Lion Sleeps Tonight and they can stop searching.

Construction Zone!

Sorry for the light no posting for the last couple of days.

I've been completing a couple of site re-designs for pamibe, She Who Will Be Obeyed, and Civilization Calls. Plus I tweaked a skin I did for Jim over at Snooze Button Dreams. Go check out all them when you have a chance.

While I was at it, I decided to re-work my sidebar. Now you may think this is a simple operation. In most cases, yes. But one week-end I had a brain fart and did some weird and wild stuff to my index site... basically I put everything in modules so I could include the modules in different pages and not have to recode every page when I wanted to change something. If you look at my archive pages and permalink pages, you can see what I did. Anyway, that's all fine and dandy, but if you ever decide to make major changes, it makes the job much more difficult than it has to be.

After much pulling of hair, gnashing of teeth, and drinking of beer, I'm still not finished! But it's to a point where I can leave it till next week-end.

Here's what I did:

HOLA!

Hola, everybody!

I'm baaaaack! Sorry for the no posting zone here for the last week as I know many of you have come to depend on the sage drinking advice and really dumb-ass jokes from the The Bartender, Madfish et al!

Before you start fucking with me Harvey, I have a good excuse. I was at an out of town job, in the field, with no internet access (that I cared to pay for anyway) and my laptop was at home. Anyway, just got back in and need to answer all my e-mails etc.

Regular blogging will begin again starting with Sunday's Tales From The Champagne Room.

Until then, have a couple of ice cold ones on the house!

The Mozilla Monster Sucks!

Oowwwwch! I hurt my arm today... twisted the crap out of my shoulder... the one with old football injury... patting myself on the back!


Valid-XHTML10.gif      Valid-CSS.gif


I finally finished! After spending all friggin day and what seems like a million little bity tiny edits, I finally got my site to validate as XHTML 1.0 compliant! It is also CSS 2.0 compliant! I have proudly posted the logos at the bottom of the sidebar for all to see.

I had to leave some stuff out that I had on the sidebar because i couldn't get it through the certifier today: Mary Ann v. Ginger Poll, Guest Map, Random Toasts, NZ Bear's Ecosystem script, and some other little things that I took out because I was tired of them.

I guess this means my site is totally compliant with all browsers out there. Even the dreaded Mozilla Monsters should be able to see this exactly as I have it laid out. After I clean out my hard drive and transfer some files over to my laptop, I'll download Mozilla so I can see if I'm right. In the mean time, you Mozilla Monsters tell me if it looks any different if ya would!

I'd like to apologize {Susie} for all the pingage today. I didn't know forgot that I could turn the pings off. D'oh!

To make up for it, I'll have a massive linkfest tomorrow with a really good cragerization of something I found today. Too late tonight, but make sure to drop back by on Wednesday!

Ping Slaught!

Please excuse today's ping slaught! I am very sorry for all the pings today.

I've been running my site through an XHTML validator and trying to get rid of any bad coding I have in my index and posts. I'll be working on this tonight till I get it completed, so please bear with me. I have some kind of bug in the Champagne Room entries that I can't figure out and I'm having to use brute force to work it out.

Susie... yeah... I know... I'm a rotten bastard. But I'm trying to get this to where it reads OK for every browser so that means validated XHTML and CSS! That way you Mozilla Monsters can see my site without having to change browsers.

Thank you for understanding that I'm doing this so everyone can see my site the way it is intended to be seen.

Remodeling

Sorry for the lack of posting the Happy Hour Party and Dumb Ass Jokes by Kang A Roo today. I have been doing some remodeling to the site.

I was having problems with readers using Mozilla browsers [Susie] not being able to read certain parts of the blog. As I started this blog, I knew absolutely nothing about CSS and a little about HTML that I learned long ago. The language has developed so much since then, I've had to reducate myself.

As I was building the site and tweeking and tweeking and tweeking, I had a lot of garbage code [marquee tags] that I kept in the templates and used comment tags to hide. I also had used some substandard coding practices to achieve the look I desired.

So all last night and part of this morning, I spent going through my Stylesheet and Index Template. I removed all the comment tages, rewrote code to current standards [thank you to Phil], and changed a few things design-wise.

I don't know exactly what fixed the Mozilla problem, as I completed everything before anyone [Susie] read my site today. If it was the recoding or installing an image background under the .blogbody section so that the page background wouldn't show through, but a commentor [Susie] said Yay!!!!!! So, if everyone [Susie] is happy, I'm happy!

Anyway, I'm working on Sunday's regular feature: Tales From The Champagne Room right now so we'll see you tomorrow!

Harvey's Madfish Mojo Magic

Harvey has been puttin some kind of freaky mojo magic on the Madfish so he can't get his friggin tips out of the tip jar. For some weird reason, I haven't been able to view the currency pics on his site. Then, this afternoon they just mysteriously showed up again for no apparant reason.

Don't tell him, but I got Fatty Sue to put the reverse mojo hex on his nasty ass to get even with him for all the bad shit he been wishin on me here since lately. That ought ta learn him ta mess around wit da Madfish!

Here are some of the meager scraps Harvey sees fit to leave as tips. If that's all he can scrap together to leave as a tip, I got a tip for him... Never play leapfrog with a unicorn!

What Drink Are You?

Its a good thing when The Bartender knows what drink you are. That way, when it gets really busy, you just walk up to the bar, pick up your drink, throw down a tip to the bartender, and walk away. Meanwhile, everybody else waiting in line for a drink is looking at you wondering who the hell do you think you are and get your ass in line just like everybody else. Fuck Em, The End.

Here's what drinks the Munuvians are:

Heather at Angleweave: Long Island Iced Tea

Tuning Spork from Blather Review: Long Island Iced Tea

Victor from Publius & Co: Long Island Iced Tea

Jennifer from Jennifer's History & Stuff: Screaming Orgasm

Susie from Practical Penumbra: Strawberry Dacquiri

Calling Shotgun!

You may have asked yourself: "Self, just what are the rules of calling shotgun?" Well, Let me tell you, there are many rules. I am here now to give you a primer on Calling Shotgun.

[Shit, I didn't know this was such a complicated affair. When I was growing up, it didn't matter if you called shotgun, you got the crap beat out of you by the the toughest kid and had to ride bitch.]

Introduction

The calling of Shotgun is a time-honored tradition. In today's world, it is the act of reserving the front passenger seat in the automobile that caller is about to ride in. The activity has become fairly complex and an important activity. Hence these rules have been created to govern this activity and to explain the responsibilities of this position. In actual practice, the rules of the owner/driver of the vehicle applies.

The Blogroll Honor Roll is

The Alliance entry into this

The Alliance entry into this week's New Blog Showcase is:

Hypocrisy and Hypotheses: Same Thing Every Year....

I've actually read the post. It is a humorous piece that would have made the cut for a link via Moe Syzslak Says:

Also a nice site design - neat tiled background graphic, understated elegance, nice color scheme.

I think a site has to have a good visual element to it in as well as amusing, informative, or educational content for it to be worth going back to repeatedly. Some site are just too jumbled and crammed together and have too much graphical crap that makes them eyesores and not inviting. Anyway...

Alex also has a live comment preview feature that is really cool - I'm gonna have to get one like that when I grow up!

Go over read the link and peruse the rest of the site!


I also liked She Who Will Be Obeyed: Life, the Universe, and Everything.... She is exactly right on this particular issue.

. PRECISION GUIDED HUMOR: AWARDING

.

PRECISION GUIDED HUMOR: AWARDING MICHAEL MOORE

I recently had the distinktion of being selected to be an awards presenter at the Internet Blogosphere Awards Presentation and Slobberfest. As repulsed as I was at being given this dubious honor, I showed up and did my duty - but not before downing a couple of my famous Ultimate Martinis!

The award I presented was the Epimenides' Paradox Award. Last year's winner was Al Franken for Lying Liars and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them (or whatever that piece of crap book was named).

This award celebrates the ananias, the falsifier, the fibber, the fibster, the perjurer, the prevaricator, the storyteller, and well... big fat fucking liars. This year's nominees were Michael Moore and... Shit, he was such a big, fat, lying turd, no one else had room to enter.

So when I announced Michael Moore as the winner, I thought I would give him a little spoonful o' his own medicine and go off on my own rant:

You were a crack baby, severely retarded, hardly a looker. You are a borderline cretin, a socially maladjusted parasite, an ill-mannered, undereducated piece of white trash maggot-infested butt-fucking bed-wetting asshat. You are a howling, drunken, fat slob dancing about. You are one huge, corrupt, incestuous orgy of mutual masturbatory orgies. You syphilitic sow. You should be driven into a building, then blown up and buried under 50 ft of dirt and covered with pig shit. You have an IQ slightly above that of room-temperature butter which makes trying to hold a decent argument like kicking a cripple. You despicable, depraved, amoral slug. Anybody can bitch and moan, but few really have the answers, so go ahead and shove that gerbil up your Hilter-kissing, butt-fucking, skinhead-licking, sheep-fucking, small-impaired, desperatly seeking real contact, grasping stupid ass! You syphlitic, neutered, weiner-doggy with worms. You have the creative abilities of a bucket of okra. You are neurally-deficient, morally challenged colon polyp. You are like some cheesy advertizement jingle you can't get out of your head. Ack! You are like watching old ladies at the casino, working the slot machines for the big score but instead of using up their quarters, they're using up their credibility. You are lots of burps and fart noises, signifying nothing. There's a special place in hell for ogres like you. You are like a spoiled teenager begging for attention. You are very boring, whiny and utterly unfunny. Strange that you have't blown your bitter little brains out by now, given your decidedly limited and amoral worldview.

Ya wanna know the funny thing about the whole episode?

I got a standing ovation!

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!

Cheers!

  • They ate supper before they said grace = They're living in sin

  • Time to paint your butt white and run with the antelope = Stop arguing and do as you're told

Introverted bartender - What the fjuck? I'm going to go get some beer to think about this!!!

I guess because all my personal interactions as a high-volume bartender were about three seconds long. I gotta tell you though - I was the fastest bartender that ever lived!

I wonder what type I'm supposed to hook-up with?

As part of my duties

As part of my duties as a member of The Blogger Alliance, I must vote in the New Blog Showcase each week. Maybe I can get in the contest here pretty soon. I just need to get a couple of really far out, cool, spiffy... posts.

I'm voting for Tom's Nap Room post "Eliminate all Turnpikes"

He talks about the confiscatory prices gas stations, fast food, novelty stores, etc charge on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. I know what he means. I used to fly in and out of DFW airport all the time and it was the same thing at the gas station right before the toll booths. They just beat you up because they have a captive audience. I know that overhead is higher because of the lease rates, but product and labor related costs are the same as they are for all the rest of the chain stores. So what makes them think they can get away with bending you over the barrell? Jerks!! I'm gonna take my toys and go somewhere else.

Sshh.. Makes me so mad, I'm thirsty. Gotta go get a cold one to settle down!

Announcing Anger Management's First Official

Announcing Anger Management's First Official Contest. That's right - winners of Drinks with Don will win a chance to, duh, drink with Don.

The rules are simple -- in the comments section, tell me why I should come to your city and buy you drinks. Time is running short - contest ends on October 10, so if you have a blog, get over there and tell him why he should pick up the tab.

I hope he has a big bar wallet 'cause I've been around the bloggers & bloggerettes - mine eyes have seen the damage they can do and it's not a pretty site!

If you win:
Make sure you pick a joint that's really uneconomical,
has a good babe ratio,
he does't tell too many barf lies,
and make sure he gets you all bang-zootied.

Cheers!

BIG THANKS to Harvey at Bad Money for his encouragement, direction and assistance.

Thanks to Matt at Blackfive for ideas to blog about stemming from one of his weekly blogging themes - Drinking, even though this will come as complete surprize to him.

Thanks to Emperor Misha I at The Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler for anointing me the Imperial Tender of Bars. And thanks to his formidable empire of Loyal Citizens for giving me the confidence that I have the ability to write semi-coherent sentences and clearly communicate a thought - although the jury is still out on the last part of that.

Thanks to Lord Spatula I, King and Tyrant at Spatula City for teaching me cragerization, how to flame trolls, and just generally being a mean, funny suminabatch.

My First Link!

Have you ever won award unexpectedly or read your name in print for something you had done? Remember what that felt like - kinda hard to describe it, but you sure miss the feeling, right?

Well, I was surfing around the blogosphere tonight and all I'm over at Blackfive, The Paratrooper of Love's place and I glance down the page for new posts and there was a post title of New Blogger on the Loose. Well, I started through the post to check out who it was, and hot damn! whatta ya know - he's talking about me! He had posted a tailgate Martini recipe early in the week and being the Professional Mixologist™ that I am, I had to ching-a-ling his recipe out a little.

Matt's Drinking theme for this week really gave me some good ideas for a blog, so I e-mail him some suggestions for his site. Just some goofy stuff off the top of my head. Anyway, he e-mailed me back and suggested I start my own blog - so you can blame Matt for all the abuse about to be unleashed on an unsuspecting public.

Well, I'm gonna go build me a giant Martini (a Blackfive Tailgate Special) and pour it into a big ol' plastic cup while I watch SportsCenter and NFL Prime Time! In the mean time, I'll just be struttin around the room like a banty rooster.

    Vodka Martini
    Two ounces of Vokda (Absolut preferred here).
    Splash of Dry Vermouth.
    Do not pour the vermouth over ice.
    Chill the Martini glass (and only use the classic Martini glass).
    Chill vodka over ice in mixing glass.
    Pour chilled water / ice from Martini glass and dry inside of glass.
    Pour vermouth into Martini glass, swirl, pour out, shake remainer of vermouth from glass.
    Strain vokda into Martini glass.
    Spear three small stuffed olives and drop in glass to marinate.

    When drinking a Martini, take a bit out of olive and a sip of Martini, chew, swirl, swallow.

    The above recipe is from The Professional Mixologist Recipe Guide™


Go Cubbies!

Matt's a Chicago fan, I'm assuming he's from there or lives there now. Is this the year, Matt? They have some damn fine starting pitching and if they can put up a little run support, it could be!

Cheers!
