quacky: —–+—+—–

These are the Marilyns and Ingrids of our time.

Some guy who writes some other blog found one of my really old posts on a familiar, sadly almost defunct, almost internet legend: Satanosphere
William K. Wolfrum » Blog Archive » Jelqing: Something only Satanists and Scrabble players need be concerned about

It’s a little bit embarrassing, having that stuff hanging around forever. I mean, there are pictures of me in places, and things I wrote under my real name that you can still find. This one, is Penises!! Jelqing?? and Controversya pretty humorous, thing, laced with dicky double entendre. I like that somebody found it and called appealing. Even if he sounds a bit stuffy and misread the nature of good old SOS.

Oh well, here’s the story. I sort of wonder if it’s still funny. But, anyway.

Andy Baio who runs Waxy.org and the Links Miniblog has a great sense of humor, which is why his is one of the “blogs” I’ve read for the longest period of time.

So today I read something he put up yesterday about how the Dilbert guy, Scott Adams has tricked his brain into letting him speak again. You can read about that on Scott’s page and you really should because it’s a cool cool story. Plenty of other bloggars have put up links to this story because of the coolness. What Andy Baio does though with a very deft turn of phrase is even better. After the link he posts:

“(take that, brain!)”

I love it!

So anyway, I thought, that would make a great slogan for something. Put it on a shirt or something. Which is just kind of how I approach neat phrases, because I like shirts with neat phrases. But, you can’t make a picture for a shirt that tells the story of the Dilbert guy fixing his brain by singing a nursery rhyme. So, what goes on funny shirts? What fits with this phrase?? Here are some of my preliminary sketches:

il sole nudo

I have no idea what’s going on here, but it’s an old tacky really awesome scifi book cover from Italy. There are thousands of them at Mondo Urania, and I can keep looking at them til the end of time.

So some guy is sleeping and his robot brings him a nearly naked blonde lady. How awesome is that!!??

I don’t really need to read Italian to love this. It reminds me of my tattoo of a spaceship and now I kind of want another tattoo of something from here.

RAD!

Normally I don’t have a complaint about the amount of paper-spam I receive in my USPS paper mailbox. I hardly get any, and the stuff I do get, I kind of use as an obtuse barometer of my credit health.

But today I got something that made me snort and instantly start making dirisive comments about the sender, Bryman College. I wish I’d kept it, and taken a color scan of their pitch. It was faux legal paper, with crayon-drawing sort of doodling all around the edges. The body text looked like it had been written with an almost dried-up sharpie by a sociopathic 22-year old ricer boy, and there were like faux food smears and a coffee ring.

Basically their pitch was “you know it’s time to get off your ass you douchebag and go to pretend college.” I really don’t know how I ended up on their list, you know? I’ve finished college; I’ve been a professional of some sort for at least ten years… etc etc etc. I’m not their guy!

However, it did make me think for a second… Maybe I do want an exciting new career in handwriting analysis or Adhesives Science.

Click that, which is almost my favorite web comic, for a really good quote, wich is going to replace my site mantra or motto or whatever:

Wow. I was just going through these pages, and the Apropos Foley thing I wrote about yesterday sort of struck me in a different way. Being an adminstrator of things that end with ‘nix’ sometimes you want to see if there is any information in the documenation system of your machine, and there’s this command to search for such things. That command is ‘apropos’ (or ‘whatis’).

So yesterday or something, I wrote ‘apropos foley’ … and now today I typed it at the command-line of my system. The results are … well, let’s just say, here are the results:


/reblog/refeed$ apropos foley
foley: nothing appropriate.

/reblog/refeed$ whatis foley
foley: nothing appropriate.

/reblog/refeed$ man foley
No manual entry for foley

Those are all that seem to work. Pretty funny?

But that’s a HOOT!
