Today, the Virginia Tech police chief was testifying about the previous Cho situation when some rogue gunshots go off. Now, a officer has been shot and the suspect, as of twenty minutes ago, is still at large.

Traveling

25 November 2011 - 11:50 AM

I find myself today in the beautiful Trinidad and Tobago. You drive in the left lane; you drive in the right seat. Everyone drives as if they're daring you to hit them and to be yelled at. So many Indian and African people. It's a Goddamn blast.

Why do you travel? I travel to leave old habits behind.
Where have you been in the world? I've been all over the United States, but never outside of it. South America is a first.

Why do you play Neopets?

14 November 2011 - 02:38 PM

I just thought it might be fun to ask.

I played for several years, luckily finding my way here and merging my love of cheesy games and poking stuff. I recently logged into one of my close-to-legit accounts, to fool around, and didn't find much to hold my sway. I asked myself, "Is this growing up? Do I need some Zoloft?" No desire: to raise a pet, play the market, make a house, certainly to play a Flash game, or really much of anything. Perhaps, the guilds or the community would offer something, but I feel jaded; after social networks appeared, most internet communities became pretty bleak to me.

Anyway, while fun, the question isn't about existential crisis, the meaning of play, etc. Why do you play Neopets? What all do you get out of it?

Is Herman Cain a Performance Artist?

09 November 2011 - 09:20 AM

To give you a taste of what I'm driving at, watch "Herman Cain Does Pokemon 2000". I await:

But, the real piece of evidence I wish to submit is this exposé from The Rachel Maddow Show, October 4th.

I believe that Herman Cain is a performance artist. Most candidates would not get away with misattributing a Pokemon movie's lyrics as inspirational reflections and still get to be a front-runner. Just watch the clip above.

  • Sim City created the concept of the "9-9-9 Plan" first.
  • When accused of being the "flavor of the month", he called himself Häagen-Dazs Black Walnut--too good to disappear. Häagen-Dazs Black Walnut is not an extant product.
  • He either easily becomes belligerent, believes that being raped is one's own choice, or is able to support a woman's choice and pro-life sentiments at the same time.
  • His book is called This Is Herman Cain!
  • His foreign policy gaffes (Uzbeki-beki-beki-stan-stan, one page foreign briefings).
  • He sings.
  • His commercials are... I don't know. The Cain Train was bad, but his newest commercial is near ridiculous. His pedophiliac smile is interrupted only by chickens and awkwardly placed smoking shots.
Do you think Herman Cain is a performance artist? If he was, what type of art do you think his favorite would be? Do you think he would make an analogy to Häagen-Dazs?
How do you feel about Herman Cain's policies? What do you make of the '9-9-9' Plan? Did you play Sim City? Did you find it to be fun, or only playable for "a few hours"? Do you think Herman Cain stole his economic policy from Electronic Arts? Sid Meier or Will Wright?
Do you like pizza?
Do you think this belongs in the debate section? If not, where would you put it? Do you ever dream of being a moderator?
Last one: If you could choose someone to be President of the United States (residents only!!), appointed and such, who would it be?
