Latest Humorous T-shirt Slogan: "Baltimore Colts", this one had the logo of the Baltimore Colts as well. Why is that humorous? How many decades have passed since the Colts were in Baltimore? (the answer is slightly over two decades).
It's fun to hate:
When Shadowtwin reigns supreme:
Music lost to history:
Alice Cooper is basically what Marilyn Manson has become. He sang about really taboo subjects at a time
when taboo actually was taboo. This particular tune is one that I began listening to after being dumped by the girl that I was supposed to marry
back in the early nineties. It is actually one of three songs that play back to back on most albums. Those three songs are, if memory serves,
"chop, chop, chop", "Gail" and "Roses on White Lace". I never really appreciated the other two quite as much as this one, but then I have
never hacked anyone to death, so check back later... This song stands alone as being pretty cool just because it states the anger that I was having at the time (back in the '90s). At the same time, it illustrates that Marilyn Manson is following the course of another very successful rocker. While Cooper's songs were not earth-shaking, they were provocative. That single fact is what has led to Manson's success. I have never heard or read Marilyn Manson say that Alice Cooper was an actual influence on his music, but here is an example of it from twenty years ago. Obligatory Linkage: BlackChampagne.com- Without his site, my site would never have existed. Is It Porn? The first site in this experimental category is Was.com, the idea here is that you have to guess if it is porn or not based on the name.

So yesterday I came up with a new idea for a side bar feature. You can see the evidence of that on this particular page!
The new addition is, "Is It Porn?" The idea here is that you have to look at the name of a website and try to figure out who made it
to get it registered first, either an actual business, or a porn site. The one that is currently there, the side-bar, was exactly the reason that I decided
to do it in the first place. If you would have asked me a couple of days ago if I thought that Was.com was legitimate or a porn site, I would
have thought it was definitely porn. That led me to try a few other common words, which really shouldn't be porn, but about half of them were. So, I started thinking that there should be a guessing
game involved in the process. While I currently only have a link to it (the first one), in the future I will likely place some 'secret text' below it so that you can see if you were right without having
to download all the spyware and crap that you get from your average porn site.
• Yesterday's call for email didn't result in anything. Though when the wife asked for me to clarify exactly what I was asking later this evening, she decided that what I was asking
sounded like normal dreaming. Now, see, I can only actually gain control of the dream perhaps 5% of the time, the rest of the time I am just dreaming and reacting to what happens in the dream world. When she, my wife, asked if I was able to make people appear and
disappear once I had 'control' of the dream, I could answer it only partially true. I can make people appear, I can make things happen (not just things by my hand, but with other things in the dream) that change the surroundings and the people in the dream.
It is certainly impossible to explain, but if you have ever had the type of dream where you can make people/animals/objects appear, then you remember doing that in the morning, you might be having the kind of dream that I am talking
about.
I also say that I can do that in about 5% of my dreams, yet I think that might be a bit of a high end estimate. Possibly 50% of the times that I am dreaming I realize that it is a dream. Of that 50%, I may only be able to wake up or take control half of the time. Of that number, I would guess that the percentage of times that I simply wake
up would be in the extremely high nineties. To stretch that one a bit further, I can take control of a dream roughly once or twice a month. That is not counting all dreams had in a night as one dream, but counting the times when I am able to take control. If I have five or six dreams in a night I may never be able to gain control
of them, this could go on for weeks. If you have never gained control of one of your dreams, you will just sit there wondering WTF I am talking about, yet, if you have ever done so (gained control of a dream, that is), I would really like to Hear from you. Trust me when I say that you will know
if you have ever done it.
No more on that subject today, I have more information to gather.
• The wife is a wonderful source of those CC emails that you really wish you never got, but only because you
think that they are virus-ridden. For some reason or another, the last couple of emails that I got from my wife made me laugh. One for obvious reasons, one less so.
At any rate, I am gonna post them both here, after clipping the names, email addresses and phone numbers of course:
George Bush met with the Queen of England. He asked her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give to me?"Okay, so I am going to post only the one, as I realized the other one would not work quite as well in this format.
