Sidney Crosby has solved hockey.
There was an equation somewhere.
He figured it out.
He gave the rest of the league a 20-game head start. And the rest of the league's reply after last night?
"can we have another 20 games to make it fair?"

Day 521
Just another "thank you" to everyone that came out on Saturday night for the party. It was kinda awesome to see all the costumes. Everything from "real" comic book characters to made-up creative ones with a comic book vibe. It was kinda badass.
Though it dawn on me that my costume was gonna get confused with Deadpool about an hour before people showed up.
Grifter. Not Deadpool. A far more obscure character.
But yeah. It was a good time. About 35 or so people showed.
And it was great to see more people playing this time around. If you all have more suggestions on how to make it better, feel free to post them.
There were a few good suspension scenes, a bunch of resistance, and a few people used the spanking bench & stocks. We didn't have the space for the Wheel of Doom this time around.
And even without a kitchen, it seemed to work out pretty well.
Plus, @DoNotGoGently totally had the hottest costume. Seriously. That was the best Storm costume I've ever seen. Fucking yummy, yo.
Yeah. That version of the costume. And she somehow made it even hotter. And tinier.
But yeah, Doom, Storm, Dr Who, (we did have a lot of Doctors there apparently), LadyZorro, the Punisher, Elektra, Spider-Girl and many more all showed up. It was a good time. And I got a kick out of the made-up characters. Like Henchman #2 or RopeSlut Girl.
Sorry to the couple people that e-mailed me for the address who I didn't get back to or who I don't know. Sorry kids. My house. If I don't know you or don't know someone that can/will vouch for you, I don't give it out. That's the rules. This isn't a community event or public party. It's a (mostly) monthly party at my home. I'm not throwing the address out into the intarwubz void for everyone. If it was an open party for anyone, I'd just put the address in the event list.
That might be complicated for some people to understand, but how about you throw an open party at your house first. Then we'll talk. (no, I seriously got like 3 people that were pissed cause I wouldn't give them the address when I'd never even met them or spoken to them previously. The only reason I post these as "events" is because fetlife still doesn't allow for "bulk messaging".)

RTOTD #520.1
Day 520.1
By the way... Fuck this iOS 5.0.1 update. I did it 2 days ago & it's fucking up my cellular connection as well as my wifi & my microphone when I'm on calls.
I thought I restored it back to just the basic iOS 5 last night, but apparently it wasn't done when I got a call that interrupted it, so I'm still on 5.0.1. So if you call & I don't answer, don't get back to e-mails (not Fet-mail, I am horrible about getting back to that all the time) quickly, or you can't hear me when you call... My phone is being more retarded than that kid with the helmet from middle school.

So it looks like my work is going hardcore on monitoring Internet use. So I'm back to writing this damn thing on my phone each day. They haven't initiated yet, but I just got the new security policy to sign yesterday & it's basically "you can't do anything online that is not work related" now. Needless to say, getting 1500 words on random bullshit might have to start being RTOTD #X.1 late-day updates now instead of the morning stuff.
Though honestly, writing a thousand words thru my phone isn't as irritating as your think.
But it does mean that my "reading stupid shit on gizmodo" time has been significantly reduced.
On an entirely different note, I have to say... The party tomorrow is going to be one of the hardest to pull off for a while. The contractors that are doing the kitchen are about 1 or 2 days behind what I expected. They started Tuesday instead of Monday & after we also hired them to do the walls as well (painting & whatnot), it pushed us back another day. Hopefully, they'll finish today on schedule but it's unlikely. The walls still need painted, 90% of the cabinets need hung & the plywood floor needs to get finished being laid. That's not including the counter top being installed, the sink being installed, the microwave being hung, dishwasher installed & the stove put back in place.
We are still going forward with the party though. It's just going to be a little awkward. The kitchen might be off-limits for the party. We can move all the kitchen stuff back out of the dining room into the unfinished kitchen & move all the old cabinets into the corners of the basement to keep them out of the way. But it's going to limit play space a little bit.
Though the electrician should be done today. So that's one less thing to worry about.
And if anyone wants some cabinets from the 40's or 50's, let me know. They're yours. Seriously. I kinda feel bad about trashing them because they're nice. They just need re-finished & some of the hinges need replaced. I wanted to go more modern in there, so we figured it was easier to just redo the whole thing. I think I might have just been a little ambitious in getting the whole thing done in the window I had set.
And we need to clean still too.
I'd like to thank GreyOne again for letting us borrow furniture. With all the other things getting worked on this month, I still haven't had time to build anything.
One project at a time. Winter will be a good time to do building. Just won't really be able to stain or paint anything until the spring probably.
Anyone want to volunteer time & tools for a building party in January? Just all get together and build shit?
*this is post-tear-down. Before they started working. It's already in much better shape.*

Random Thought Of The Day #519
Day 519
I decided that I'm gonna do one of those "25 things about my sexuality" things that everyone else seems to be doing.
Cause I'm a trend-follower. Really. I am.
But considering that mine would be 3 things about my sexuality followed by 22 things about booze, strippers, cigarettes, comic books, video games & music, maybe it'll be "25 things that have absolutely nothing to do with my sexuality" instead. That would be far more fitting for me.
But I just saw that NBC has asked for a proposal for a The Munster's re-make show. And tv has recently tried to do a Wonder Woman reboot show and ABC had an Incredible Hulk show coming out next year. This past season also saw a reboot of Charlie's Angels and the year before saw a return of Hawaii Five-O. So going back to the well on tv shows is all the rage. So, with that in mind... let's go with 5 old-school TV shows that should totally be brought back:
I vote for the following:
1. Married With Children - though I don't know how you could find someone funnier than Ed O'Neil to play Al Bundy. Though I think this is what they're trying to do with Modern Family. It's just not nearly as funny. Where's the trampy daughter & the teenage son that can't get laid? Or hearing the thoughts of the dog. But maybe in this version... Al's can be the grandson of Ted Bundy that he fathered with some other chick. Think Dexter as a women's shoes saleseman... losing his god damn mind.
2. Gilligan's Island - When I first saw the commercials for LOST, that's what I expected it to be. But it was infinitely cooler. But I think you could do an absolutely hillarious Gilligan's Island remake that was totally different. And doesn't need to include 4-toed statues and smoke monsters.
3. Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? - I remember that this show sucked... but instead of doing it as a game show for kids.. make her an actual bad-ass intelligence broker & go all spy-hunter on her. She's got her network set up & all that. Maybe make it a 1st person style story too. Like the viewer is the spy hunter going after her. All shakey-cam style and everything.
4. Twin Peaks - I'd just be happy if this show ever got a proper resolution. But a reboot with the same crazinness and the same starting point question (Who killed Laura Palmer?) would be totally bad-ass.
5. Flipper - A crime-fighting dolphin? Who thought this was a good idea in the first place? How the fuck did this show not fail the "suspension of disbelief" test? Come on... this time, give him like... a bionic tail, one of those collars from the Pixar movie UP that the dogs wore so they could talk. And a fucking body suit filled with water so he can survive ... with a laser gun. Or something. Just go fucking crazy with it.

Who in the world are these people I keep seeing on tv anymore? These "celebrities" of some sort...
I've never heard of a single one of them. Then again, I'm completely out of the loop when it comes to pop-anything at this point. If it's not geeky pop-culture stuff... I'm lost.
I'm pretty sure it took me like 2 years to figure out who the fuck that gaga chick was.
I'm was significantly happier when I didn't know who that gaga chick was. Or that human glitter machine that writes her name with a $ in it.
Fuck you, Kesha! I can do it 3 times. And I don't look like a herpes epidemic waiting to happen.
But back on topic...
I have no idea who some of these celebrities are anymore. Or these shows that they're apparently famous for being on. WTF is the Hills? I vaguely rememeber something about Housewives, but I thought that was the show with the chick that used to be on that Superman tv show like 15 years ago. And who the fuck is this fake titted blonde chick hanging all over the dude that played Horace on LOST that is all over the damn intarwubz??
I'm not even going to bother finding out. It's the Hilton sisters effect again. People that are famous for being.. I don't know... famous? Like, they haven't done anything. They're kinda hot. And they're just always out somewhere getting their picture taken. But they aren't even actresses or musicians or artists or anything. They're just random hot girl that apparently complains a lot... and according to the random news thing I just read, don't look all that great without makeup.
I give up. This is the reason I avoid celebrity related crap.
Deadpool is a better celebrity. And he's not even real!

I should start writing my name with some kind of special character in it. Maybe the "o"'s can be boobs... and we can dot the middle to make them nipples. Doktor... with boobs... hmmm... yeah... that doesn't work.

You know what makes me lose my god damn mind?
Militant assholes.
I don't care if they're vegans, christians, feminists, atheists, marxists... whatever... fuck them. I don't care. They aren't satisfied just to live THEIR lives according to some stupid fucking rules. No. They demand that YOU do too.
Because me eating a steak, owning a house, not believing in any kind of higher power & not caring if you believe in anything or not somehow infringes upon their ability to sit down on some animal-product-free chair, eat some fucking tofu & worship some invisible man/woman/cow/taco in the sky or something.
This popped into my head this morning because the militant atheists are throwing a temper tantrum about the "in god we trust" thing again. Just like they did with the "under god" in the Pledge a couple years back.
For fucks sake... nobody gives a shit.
And really... don't they have anything better to do?
If nothing else... it'll shut these militant assholes up for a little bit. Or let them find something NEW to bitch about.

It could say "beat me with a trout if this is fake" or "fuck chickens" on it and nobody would even notice until they're bored enough and out of reading material that they'd read it. And even then, they wouldn't give a shit... as long as they can still buy a new tv with it at Best Buy or a ridiculously overpriced coffee at Starbucks.
And really... don't they have anything better to do? Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 just came out. I bet they can find a few million people online playing it now to amuse themselves for the next 6 hours or so.
If nothing else... it'll shut these militant assholes up for a little bit. Or let them find something NEW to bitch about.

Day 515
It's the last binary day (when using the 2-digit calendar) of our lifetimes. I should have totally taken this whole thing and thrown it into a binary translator & made the whole fucking thing in binary. Just to fuck with you.
Although, it would probably have fucked with me even worse. And then I would have gotten bored & then I'd have been trying to find some pancakes.
I really don't care. I'm only amused that it's going to screw with the numerology freaks when nothing of any significance happens today & that it's just another damn day. A day with an amusing date, but still... just another day.
Now... on to the second thing we're celebrating today... and arguably the more interesting (to everyone but Sybele, apparently... )... It's National Deadpool Day!
So here we go. I'm just going to throw a bunch of Deadpool at you today. Like a Deadpool Bukakke. Deadpool-kakke. That's actually a lot funnier when you sound it out.
So I'm going to have an interview with Deadpool today.
Me: Well then, good morning, Mr. Pool.
hehehehe... I always wanted to say that.

But regardless.. it's the last binary date we're going to see in our lifetimes. Unless you're going to live a hair under 89 more years, that is. I'll be lucky to make it 89 months, so more power to ya if you can make it all the way there. You'll be like 120 fucking years old or something crazy like that, but I guess you'll enjoy it? Maybe?
Now... on to the second thing we're celebrating today... and arguably the more interesting (to everyone but Sybele, apparently... )... It's National Deadpool Day!
So here we go. I'm just going to throw a bunch of Deadpool at you today. Like a Deadpool Bukakke. Deadpool-kakke. That's actually a lot funnier when you sound it out.
This is the First Annual National Deadpool Day. The day where the 4th Wall is the thinnest. Like the Deadpool version of Halloween mythology. Where we can talk to our fictional characters. But only those that KNOW that they're fictional characters.
So I'm going to have an interview with Deadpool today.
Me: Good morning, Wade.
DP: It's Mr. Pool to you, tonsafun.
DP: That's better, chuckles. Kinda awesome that it's Deadpool day & Binary day at the same time. My love of 1's and Zero's and my love of me all combined into one day? No wonder we can have a chat thru the Fourth Wall today.... wait a second..
hehehehe... I always wanted to say that.
Me: Really? Did you just use that joke?
DP:
Me: *GROAN*
DP: What?
Me: What the fuck are you talking about? You know what, nevermind. Let's just try to get on with the interview, ok?
DP:
Me: Wade! Pay attention!
DP: Oh, wait... what? I was thinking about something else.
Me: Yeah, I noticed. So how do you like being able to actually talk back to the people that you always talk to in your comics?
DP: It's pretty awesome. It's normally a pretty 1-way conversation, you know? I read your blog whenever I have the time. I loved the thing about Scrooge McDuck the other day. I would love that. I haven't gotten a gig recently that hooked me up with enough cash to do that, but when I used to...
Me: You know, you're kinda fucking crazy, right dude?
DP:
Me: Fuck you, man. I'm gonna punch you...
DP:
Me: Erm... Uh... Nevermind. Ok... maybe you'd probably kick my ass.
DP: Yup. But damn... I was hoping for a fight. I remember this time I was fighting with the Rhino & I shrunk him down & put him inside a glass jar & carried him around on a necklace for like a week. It was kinda awesome. And then the time I was fighting a bunch of dead X-Men and they just kept coming and coming & I kept shooting and shooting &
So I just kept shooting and then they all died... er... again... and I went to get a chimmichanga. That was a fun day.
Me: You like to talk to your thought bubbles. But your thought bubbles aren't really bubbles. They're just yellow boxes. How's that work?
DP:
I like it.
Me: But how does it work?
DP: Madness.
Me: Fair enough. So you always wear the mask. It kinda looks like Spider-Man's mask. Why do you always wear the mask? I mean, it's syonymous with you at this point. You even have a belt-buckle with your mask on it... but it's really rare that you take it off. Why is that?
DP:
Me: Speaking of Ryan Reynolds... you're getting a movie & you already appeared in the Wolverine movie with Ryan Reynolds playing you. How'd you like that?
DP:
Me: What are you talking about? I'm not married & I don't have supermodel wife that turned into a zombie. Do you even listen to anything going on around you?
DP:
Me: Yes, I know... ME! I'm the one at the keyboard. I'm talking to you and typing out the transcript for the interview I'm gonna post on the blog site. Oh you know what.. .never mind. I give up.
DP: Okie Dokie. We should totally do this again next National Deadpool Day!
Me: Um... yeah... we'll see about that.

Random Thought Of The Day #514
Day 514
I'd like to start off by wishing a happy birthday to the United States Marine Corps. Happy 236th Birthday. Semper Fi.
And a belated public birthday wish to DC. You're kind of an awesome chick.
And on an entirely different topic...
You know... what the fuck happened to jouralism? Not like... being entirely objective or anything like that. That has always been a myth that the media has propogated to the general public. They're no more objective than my fucking dog. They like the people that feed them, bite the people that kick them & bark at the people they don't know.
The new world has all but killed print media. The personal virus that we all have been unleashing has made Matt Drudge & Ariana Huffington a shitload of money & turned them into go-to sources for news. But at least they're MOSTLY honest that they're not objective. So the intarwubz is now the home for news.
Dan Rather might as well be the god damned crypt keeper at this point. He's a fossil. Nobody gives a fuck where Matt Lauer is either. 24 hour news cycles turn everything other than the local news into irrelevent time-slot-fitting tv that nobody but my 87 year old grandma watches. And the only thing they do is devote 20 minutes to a story instead of the 10 that goes to it on Fox News or MSNBC or CNN.
No. Twitter & Facebook & some random dude's blog or some chick's Instagram accounts are the new news sources. Blogs have replaced newspapers. Everyone has their own voice that has long ago replaced the Editorial section of the newspaper. That was the Blog for the "journalistic elite"... in other words, the ones that sucked enough dick to get a slot in a paper.
But what did the old media have that we're sorely lacking in the new media?
EDITORS.
Hell, fucking spell check & grammar check is all I'm asking for at this point.
But what we really need is the guy that would read thru something BEFORE it went to publication... digital or print... whatever... doesn't matter. But they'd read it over & say "holy shit dude, did your write this in fucking Notepad or something? Was MS Word too difficult to use? Did you lose the Spell Check & Grammar Check button? WTF?".
I mean... reading half of the "news" stories on the intarwubs now, I don't know if it's intentional or not, but a lot of the time, my 4th grade English teacher would have beat me to death with my English book for fucking up the language as bad as these self-styled "journalists" do anymore.
Maybe it's intentional... make it read like a spastic 9 year old wrote it while gushing about... well... whatever the hell 9 year olds have their own little squee-sessions about... and fuck up the grammar so that they don't look like they're "establishment" sources. They're the "new media".
No... you're not. You write for a news source. It's just a news source that otherwise wouldn't make any fucking money if it had to pay for something more than their FiOS Business network connection. Mostly cause your articles take 15 seconds to read & are nothing more than "look at this cool thing" and not even anything funny to say about said cool thing.
Oh fuck it... just another example of how things are going to hell.
The world would be better if there was a real Deadpool walking around... oh wait, there is. He's totally gonna fix this shit.
And a belated public birthday wish to DC. You're kind of an awesome chick.
And on an entirely different topic...
You know... what the fuck happened to jouralism? Not like... being entirely objective or anything like that. That has always been a myth that the media has propogated to the general public. They're no more objective than my fucking dog. They like the people that feed them, bite the people that kick them & bark at the people they don't know.
Dan Rather might as well be the god damned crypt keeper at this point. He's a fossil. Nobody gives a fuck where Matt Lauer is either. 24 hour news cycles turn everything other than the local news into irrelevent time-slot-fitting tv that nobody but my 87 year old grandma watches. And the only thing they do is devote 20 minutes to a story instead of the 10 that goes to it on Fox News or MSNBC or CNN.
No. Twitter & Facebook & some random dude's blog or some chick's Instagram accounts are the new news sources. Blogs have replaced newspapers. Everyone has their own voice that has long ago replaced the Editorial section of the newspaper. That was the Blog for the "journalistic elite"... in other words, the ones that sucked enough dick to get a slot in a paper.
But what did the old media have that we're sorely lacking in the new media?
EDITORS.
Hell, fucking spell check & grammar check is all I'm asking for at this point.
I mean... reading half of the "news" stories on the intarwubs now, I don't know if it's intentional or not, but a lot of the time, my 4th grade English teacher would have beat me to death with my English book for fucking up the language as bad as these self-styled "journalists" do anymore.
Maybe it's intentional... make it read like a spastic 9 year old wrote it while gushing about... well... whatever the hell 9 year olds have their own little squee-sessions about... and fuck up the grammar so that they don't look like they're "establishment" sources. They're the "new media".
No... you're not. You write for a news source. It's just a news source that otherwise wouldn't make any fucking money if it had to pay for something more than their FiOS Business network connection. Mostly cause your articles take 15 seconds to read & are nothing more than "look at this cool thing" and not even anything funny to say about said cool thing.
Oh fuck it... just another example of how things are going to hell.
The world would be better if there was a real Deadpool walking around... oh wait, there is. He's totally gonna fix this shit.
In fact.. I love you all so much that you get Double The Deadpool today!!
See. Deadpool fixes everything fucked up that happens. Even movies with fake version of himself in it.
Cause he's that awesome.
And tomorrow... a special feature... It's going to be National Deadpool Day!
I just made it up. A day entirely dedicated to Deadpool.
It's one of 2 national holidays I'm totally enacting when I take over the world. That... and my Birthday. But Deadpool Day is going to be bigger & awesomer & we're going to take a page from Deadpool & break the 4th wall back to our fiction.
