$3.75 a gallon for gas. this shit is outrageous
-
So this is what I saw while stopping to fill up @ one of the local gas stations. Yes that’s right. LOCAL. Seriously folks, this shit needs to stop now. I’d rather pay 1000 dollars a month for rent and only have to drive 10 minutes to work, just so I don’t have to line the pockets of oil tycoons like George Bush.

I found what they did very amusing, so i figured why not post it here. I wish I could have thought up some shit like that. All we ever end up doing is humping wire deer & tasering ourselves. Lame, lame i tell you.

Killswitch Engage cloth poster, originally uploaded by bob.digga.

Something I picked up recently on eBay. I prefer these over paper posters for obvious reasons. They last longer & just plain look nicer.

Anyone for another KSE concert? I’m down.

I got the poster from this guy if you are interested in picking up a few.

I also have a Static-X & Godsmack cloth posters that I have no room for if you want. Hit me up on AIM or mySpace for details.

Welcome to the Planet Express! I’m sure your stay, like so many of our esteemed crew before you, will be full of adventure, excitement, and er, brevity. Allow me to show you about the place.

First off, my name is Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth. I’m the owner of this company, which I use as a front for my mad experiments. Mad? MAD? Oh, I’ll show them who’s mad…

Wha..? The doors must be locked. Er, no matter - it’s a fine day and the crew is outside. Would you like to meet them? No? Well, too bad!

Here is Hermes Conrad. He manages my delivery business, pays the bills, notifies next of kin, er, what have you.

This is our intern, Amy Wong. She’s an engineering student of mine. I like having her around because she has the same blood type as me. She often hangs out with her boyfriend, Kif.

Found this via digg. The site will be loading slow as molasses until the digg effect wears off [which will be about a week]. Lotta time put into those lego’s.

greg valentino - the man whose arm's explodedThe gym represents so many things to different people. For some, it is a safe haven after a taxing day at work. For others, it is a glorified happy hour to pick up dimes (chicks). But for most, the gym is an ally to fight that never ending war: “The Battle of the Bulge.”

Whether you’re a weekend warrior at Average Joe’s Gym or a meat-headed freak from Globo Gym, there are a few rules of etiquette to follow so you don’t end up being “that guy.”

The Fashion Show

Loose clothing is optimal. CLEAN shirts, sweatpants, athletic shorts, and sneakers will do. Please leave the cutoff jean shorts and pajama pants at home.

Wipe Me Down

Imagine Patrick Ewing at the foul line in triple overtime. Now imagine Patrick Ewing bench pressing and no ball boys there to wipe up his mess. Kinda gross. Most gyms have brown paper towels for a reason, so use them when needed or bring your own towel.

There are a few to tide you over for now. I have been known to do a few of them myself. I have forgotten to wipe a machine down after pulsating massive quantities of digga sweat all over it. I try to remember, but the duty just evades me sometimes. I try to put the weights back in the right place, but the same thing as before, I get all wound up in trying to do my routine that I forget. I do at least put them back on the rack, sometimes on top of other weights that I have no business lifting, which is just about everything over 65 pounds.

Click on Mr. Roids for the rest of the list.

best buy now offering trade in's on hd-dvd players
-
And yes folks, that is the bone they decided to throw ol’ digga. Forty three meesley [sp?] dollars. I think i would be better off launching this goddamn thing from a skeet [clay bird] shooter. Maybe everyone involved would get more enjoyment if we were to go that route.
-
I know I jumped on the hd wagen a little bit too early [and fucked up by choosing the side that lost too] but black friday deals are just too good to pass up. At least that’s what the media says. I don’t know what the hell I was doing listening to the media in the first place anyways. As always, I should have waited and suffered through standard definition dvd’s for another year or so. Blu-ray players are going to be dropping in price come the holiday season. Maybe it will be $50 bucks or so, but its still better than paying $400 for a new player. I would love to go out & buy a PS3, but i’m not sure if it will upconvert older dvd’s. I just checked, & here is the answer I recieved from Yahoo! Answers: “As long as you have firmware 1.80 or higher it will upconvert dvds and ps2/ps games to your tvs max hd output.”
-
That answers that question I guess. Maybe I will have to invest in a PS3 after the wedding if the funds permit.
-
So back to Best Buy, this shit just plain sucks. I guess that’s what I get for choosing a side early, and losing horribly. Maybe I can sell the 10 hd-dvd movies I aquired on eBay.

sonic 2
After the new, quite possibly fake, screenshots for Sonic Unleashed were, well, unleashed, I got to thinking about Sonic the Hedgehog and his past, present and future. Every time a new Sonic game is announced, a small collective of retro-goggled loyalists hold their breath and hope for the best, but when it comes down to it, Sonic isn’t worth much in today’s world. We haven’t had a truly terrific Sonic game since Sonic Advance, and that was over six years ago.

It seems that Sonic Team misses far more than it hits, and while repeated attempts to revitalize the ailing hedgehog have brought with them plenty of potential and hope, each game has fallen flat on its face, or at the very least, done very little to untarnish the troubled mascot’s increasingly damaged reputation.

Let’s be honest here — Sonic’s over the hill. He’s clapped out, worn out and ready to be thrown out. As someone who adored the speedy woodland creature as a child, it’s horrible to have to say that, but it’s true. He was introduced as the cool and sassy alternative to a reserved and “boring” Mario, but looking at the two characters today, it’s easy to see which is going strong and which has aged very, very badly. It’s a bitter irony, but that attitude-drenched hedgehog of yore is now a desperate, increasingly irrelevant relic.

He needs to be saved. I think he can be saved. I have to believe he can be saved, damn it! I’m going to try and help. While some of these points will be fairly obvious, hopefully I can also make a few that haven’t been discussed much. Regardless, Sonic Team needs to know them. This is my humble guide to the salvation of our beloved hedgehog.

I whole heartedly agree with what this person has to say. Sonic was whipping Mario’s ass for a while there. I loved playing all those Sonic games on the Genesis. I never had the SEGA CD or Dreamcast, so my Sonic-ness stops with Sonic & Knuckles. I recall the series going downhill after the dreamcast died. And I am also a firm believer that a Sonic game should NEVER, I repeat, NEVER be on a Nintendo system. If the great console war of the 90’s taught me anything, it was this: You cannot have signature series characters cross platforms & appear on the rival system. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is just a freak of nature game that should never have come into existance. Notice how they put Mario’s name first. I know it’s his system & all, but that shit is just a small psychological jab @ all us Sonic fans.

ebay bidders

What the hell is going on here? I’m trying to gauge interest for my hd-dvd player [so I can get blu-ray] and all the stats are off because of these fucking f***u usernames. I swear to god this is some huge shill bidding ring that eBay just let’s do whatever the fuck they want. It is probably run by eBay to begin with. It’s gotta be good for business. The more the auction ends at, the more fees the seller owes to eBay. There is definatley something fishy going on here. I have no intention of getting to the bottom of this, but if someone else wants to take the e-bull by the horns, feel free, cause I have other shit to do.

super smash bros. brawl - nintendo wii

That’s right bishes. We picked up SSBB today for the Wii. Come get some if you think you can handle the Yoshi-ness. Be warned, as soon as I unlock Sonic the Hedgehog, it’s over for all those Nintendo pussies.
