Subtraction changes things

It’s amazing how a little subtraction can change things. A BLT with the bacon subtracted is taste bud cancer. A car with the wheels subtracted is a hunk of steel, a hunk of steel that can double as shelter during the zombie invasion. A spider without a web is a tarantula.

Free Ride, My Ass

Writing by Tim on Tuesday, 22 of April , 2008 at 9:29 pm

With the PA primary looming and only two Democratic actively sucking up media attention like sponges in ugly suits, all eyes and crosshairs are on Clinton and Obama. So, of course, I am not going to say a damn thing about them.

John McCain, however, having been crowed winner of the Republican primary by Fox News, has not been getting the kind of coverage the Democrats have. And why would he, after all? There is no bitter competition or debates moderated by that god-awful Anderson Cooper where old-hat Republicans can have a “My hard-on for Reagen is bigger than yours!” contest in front of Air Force One, the Reagen widow and Arnold Fucking Schwartzennneeeggeeaafaahahhafffrggggg. I’m sorry, I seem to have momentarily gone into some sort of seizure there. (Read more…)

Find new sites through The Webby Awards

Writing by sharpster on Monday, 21 of April , 2008 at 8:55 am

Webbys

So The Webby Awards are in the public voting phase. I wouldn’t know anything about them, but a couple of the sites that I visit on a regular basis were nominated and have their “vote for us!” banners up. I figured that if some of the sites that I like were nominated, there was a good chance that I’d find some other interesting sites by browsing through the voting section on the Webby website voting page.

overdrive

The first issue of Richard Stockton OVERDRIVE (The caps are necessary to stress the extent of the overdrive. It’s similar to the Millennium Falcon’s hyperdrive.) is up on an Internet near you. (Read more…)

GPNJ Annual Convention

Writing by Tim on Sunday, 13 of April , 2008 at 9:49 pm

So much for weekly writing… Anyway.

Saturday, March 29th was the date of the annual Green Party of New Jersey (GPNJ) Convention. I was there. Chances are you weren’t.

In fact only about thirty people showed up, representing a little over half the counties. As it is nationwide, the Green Party suffers from a general lack of participation and funds, but in spite of that, has become a large state presence and is considered to be the largest “opposition” party. That is, not Democrat or Republican. (Read more…)

Make Andrew Mathas play Guitar Hero for charity

Writing by sharpster on Friday, 11 of April , 2008 at 10:25 am

Child’s Play

Some of you may know Andrew Mathas, the lovable Internet personality behind several videos making fun of how easy it is to misunderstand some songs’ lyrics. His first video, and probably the most well-known, lampoons Fall Out Boy. I know you’re thinking, “how can the serious, heart-wrenching lyrics of Fall Out Boy be taken lightly?” This is how.

He recently posted a challenge to the Internet community on his blog. If 250 people leave comments, he’ll play through every Guitar Hero game in a row on expert mode for charity. All the money he raises will go to the Child’s Play charity. And if he manages to raise $500, he’ll play through Rock Band on drums. So go comment on his post HERE and let’s get the kids some games.

Time’s Blog Index

Time.com just came out with their first ever blog index. Thefhiz isn’t on the list, so I’m debating how accurate the thing is. I bet some of the sites don’t even exist.

Mixtape? Muxtape

Writing by sharpster on Wednesday, 2 of April , 2008 at 8:16 am

muxtape

Keeping with my music theme over the past couple posts, here’s a site for people who like to say “mixtape” but with Jello in their mouthes. Muxtape.com let’s users upload twelve songs to create their own mixtapes, which seems like a good idea until you take the users’ music tastes into consideration.
