Christina and I were driving somewhere this weekend, and she saw a bumpersticker on the car in front of us.

“What’s a F-mumble-mumble?”
“Huh?”
“What’s a Foowazeemumble?”
“I still didn’t hear you.”
“That car in front of us — the sticker! What’s a Fugazi?”

Now I think to myself, “How can anyone NOT know who Fugazi is? They’re only one of the most famous anti-corporate Straight-Edge bands on the planet!”

I can tell it’s time for Christina’s education to begin.

For those of you who are sick of solitaire, now you can play Jesus Dress UP!

Who knew game characters were such geeks?

Also check out “Jar Jar Binks: The E! True Hollywood Story”. If any of you went to Austin High School with me and remember Cary Grey, he shows up in here somewhere.

Hated Flash Site of the Day Award goes to Aiwa.com.

I’m really wondering if there is any way these people could make their site more unnavigable. I hope that someone drags the designer out into the street to be shot. Actually, this may have already happened, as it doesn’t appear that the Retailers section has been updated since 1996.

Even if their site does suck, I still want their MP3 player.

“Keep up with the latest Jsnack news”…
Or don’t. See if I care.
Okay, As if there aren’t enough yummy, overpriced things in the USA to get me fat as hell; the Japanese, wily creatures that they are, decided to start packaging their delectable over-preserved taste treats with toy ROBOTS…
DAMN them.
And of COURSE, you have THESE people, who are MORE than willing to import them for you..
Damn them too.
Well, not REALLY.
And of course, all the cool models would be SOLD OUT. And the only truly cool one is not for sale. FEH.

Woohoo! After days — no, weeks! — of wrestling the process-laden beast that is BellSouth, I brought up my own home on “my” network. If anybody else wants ADSL that doesn’t suck, lemme know. =]

Wow! Abebooks.com is “the world’s largest web-based network of independent booksellers.” It’s a great way to find rare and out-of-print books, and is going to be the way I start my Horror and Science Fiction library.

Those of you who didn’t get me birthday presents can atone for your sins by donating books to the “Entertain Eric Fund”.

Here you go, AirHick. All the uppity haute bullshit you could choke on and then some…but, since you axed my e-pinion,

GOD NO.
Socks should NOT be worn with sandals. Well, they should not be worn with sandals unless they are tres interesting…orange with embroidered gold dragons, for instance. Or black with tiny yellow and blue bumblebees flitting about. Or magenta strewn with silver moons and stars. Or patterned with reindeer possessing bulbous shiny red noses. Or….wellllll, you get the picture, sport.

I love elegant solutions to common problems. I also hate banner ads.

For a while, I used Junkbuster to block ads, but it occasionally flaked out on me, and I didn’t like having the stupid little DOS window floating around either. It never occurred to me that I could just do this. This is so elegant it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

Link shamelessly ripped from MemePool. Go read it now!

Yay for me!

After months of harrowing poverty, I find myself gainfully employed once again with the fine folks at Babbage’s/Software Etc.
My new co-workers seem like real great guys, being game freaks themselves, and having recently acquired the store’s command from ..less than reputable former management.
In any case, I’m stupidly gleeful tonight, with the heady prospect of a part-time job to occupy my free hours, and hopefully pad my anorexic wallet. 🙂
As for exactly HOW padded, only my hours, my wages, and my employee discount will tell.
