Quote of the Day [9.13.08]
I bet you wondered how I knew
About your plans to make me blue
With some other guy that you knew before
Between the two of us guys
You know I love you more.

I’ve got nothing so far today, and it’s early morning. Or late at night, for those night owls.
So here’s a junk link for you to read. I haven’t read it, but the article title, “The Problem with Biking in America,” pretty much says it all.
There are many problems, the first being that we don’t take the bicycle serious as a form of transportation. We don’t think about using to commute to work or school, or to go shopping or out for the evening. It’s seen as a fitness equipment, and when was the last time we loved our fitness equipment. Hopefully, we can change our perceptions and make the bicycle a good, reliable transportation mechanism.

“I know a way to make it even awesomer. One, you get back the empire, and two, you take us all out for banana splits afterwards.”
This is just plain awesome! Or not. Or, depending upon your views, just plain stupid. Actually, now that I think about it, it’s just dumb to get excited about this. Forget that I ever mentioned it…

Which one of you did it? Which one of you killed my dog?
You don’t know the meaning of the word ‘neighbor.’ Neighbors like each other, speak to each other, care if anybody lives or dies, but none of you do. But I couldn’t imagine any of you bein’ so low that you’d kill a little helpless, friendly dog – the only thing in this whole neighborhood who liked anybody.
Did ya kill him because he liked ya?
Just because he liked ya?

To comemerate the tragedy of seven years ago, let’s dive into one of the funniest conspiracy theories out there. I love me a conspiracy theory but this one is pretty dumb. The twenty dollar bill prophesied the attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon? Please. Tphttt.
BTW, whatever became of that guy who masterminded it all? Didn’t he die in Abu Ghraib? No? Remember, this happened during a Republican presidency, and the mastermind is still out there all throughout a Republican presidency. Another fucktard Republican is trying to trick you into believing that the fucktard Republican party can protect you. They are only scamming you into believing that they are tight on the national security front.
I can prove it. Do you have a twenty?

What’s even better than scale model Valkyries? Piloting your own on! Here’s a PSP game that gathers all VF fighters from every Macross series and some Zentradi battlepods as well. Looks like fun.
“Hey, your sibilant S is gone.”
1/100 scale Valkyries for any Macross series? Yes! XD
“What’s the story with your face, son?”
