Kyocera Chicky Chick
I just had a two hour meeting with the printer salesgirl from Kyocera. She has to be the hottest chick I've seen recently. Danielle Labbato. Leo tried to hire her to be an affiliate liason for the company. We're talking supermodel hot. I scheduled another meeting for Friday... maybe I'll borrow someone's camera phone (mine was stolen in Texas), so I can take a picture for you people.
I kinda don't want her to come work here so I can date her or something.
Ah well. Stay tuned to cam mafia, Hour of Slack and Off the Hook is coming up next.

an update from Matthew in Telluride.
[rizzn's note: it's been a minute since Matthew or Joel updated their blog. Matthew is requesting I post this up on his site, so, take a look. If you want to read it on his site, check out http://djcolonoscopyandtheshit.rizzn.com/]
Things have been interesting in this little town of Telluride. For those that don't know whats been going a little updating is necessarry here. I just had a little vacation (if it can be clled that) in Texas and Florida. Texas was legal stuff and Florida was family stuff. I really felt like I had almost no Matthew time in the midst of all of it. I couldn't help bt feel that the gods were conspiring tpo keep me from dancing. Dancing as many of you know is my favorite past time, and since it's off season in Telluride, things have been totally dead. I feel like a crack addict on withdrawals. No sincereley, I've withdrawn from crack before and its just like it.... dejavu for real. Everytime I tried to go out and dance while in Florida I was foiled by a familial or semi familial obligations to hang out and drink with my friends and family. Not that this is the worst of fates mind you, but drinking is unfortunatley the favorite town past time right now and I was hoping for a change of pace.
Things were largley worsened by the shaving of my head. I almost cried I was so upset. The barber did such a crappy job, I had an afro mullet when he was finished. As if to make matters worse, a certain german lady friend up here bought me a four day pass to the blue grass festival. I lost it and the keys to her house, while I was in Florida (relationship sounds pretty juicy huh? .... it is). Losing the keys to her house sucked but I didn't worry about it becasue I was squatting a cabin in the woods. In fact it was the nicest cabin in the bunch, a small bunker capable of fitting two comfortably. Unfortunatley, when I got back a little mohawked drunken man was in my cabin and wearing my jacket. His is name is splat. His dog's name is Dog Splat. His claim to the cabin is legitimate. He lived there for five years. All the other woodsy vagrants support his claim. Good thing that the camping conditions are vastly improving. I have for the meantime occupied an abandoned platform built on a steep incline called th A-frame. It is covered in torn up tarps. These I can replace at no cost and with the help of some friends it should be easy enough to make it a cozy little home.
Right now there is work around the town and I could get a job, but I think I might wait a few weeks.
I want to do some traveling right now. In fact in just a little bit I will be heading out to Aspen to do some camping. I don't really need money either. At least not while I'm in town. so far I have managed to budget under five dollars a day. My food is usally free. I have a deal going with the local market. I get sole ownership of all the produce they can no longer keep on the shelves, much of which is very good indeed. But since I couldn't eat all that prodce even if I wanted to, I give most of it to the local restaraunts where I now eat for free. So I eat for free, I sleep for free, and even my clothing is free. How do I get the free clothes you ask? And for that matter the free sleeping bag and free matress and free backpack and hiking gear. Aaahh the miracle that is the free box. I'll tell you all about it in my next posting .

Cleric Urges Groups to Leave Holy Cities
Cleric Urges Groups to Leave Holy Cities
AFP Cleric Urges Groups to Leave Holy Cities (AP) - Iraq's most influential Shiite cleric on Tuesday demanded that all armed groups withdraw from the embattled holy cities of Najaf and Karbala, where nine militiamen loyal to a rebel cleric were killed in heavy fighting with U.S. forces. The statement by Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Husseini al-Sistani came after the U.S. administrator in Iraq vowed to continue the transfer of sovereignty to Iraqis as scheduled despite Monday's killing of the head of the U.S.-appointed Iraqi Governing Council.

ahhaha CBS DROPPED THE BALL
lish said:
they just said "fucking" on cbs!
"hannibal" is on, & the the italian inspector guy tells someone to "wash your fucking hands"
but it sounds like "wahz yah fuhh keeng hans" & they didn't bleep it. HAHAHHA YOU FUCKED UP <clap clap clapclap clap>
i replied:
I believe, if memory serves, that this use of the word "fucking" is the same manner in which Bono used the word during his award show speech. The FCC subsequently ruled that it was not obscene speech to use the word "fucking" as long as it did not refer to the act of intercourse.
lish said:
i seriously doubt that "fucking" the adjective is acceptable use.
I replied:
From LawMeme: "According to this decision (Complaints Against Various Broadcast Licensees Regarding Their Airing of the Golden Globe Awards Program [PDF]), the use of the word "fuck" as an adjective in the phrase "this is really, really, fucking brilliant" by the performer Bono during the last Golden Globe Awards is neither indecent nor obscene. Here is the key paragraph:
As a threshold matter, the material aired during the “Golden Globe Awards†program does not describe or depict sexual and excretory activities and organs. The word “fucking†may be crude and offensive, but, in the context presented here, did not describe sexual or excretory organs or activities. Rather, the performer used the word “fucking†as an adjective or expletive to emphasize an exclamation. Indeed, in similar circumstances, we have found that offensive language used as an insult rather than as a description of sexual or excretory activity or organs is not within the scope of the Commission’s prohibition of indecent program content.

She never posted my final reply. Perhaps she's just busy.
Why am I saying this? It's not often I get to correct Lish. She's right almost all the time. I have to take my victories where I can get 'em.

BERG BEHEADING IS A BUSH "PSY OP"
[rizzn's note: this is another highly referenced article regarding the beheading being a fake. I'm going to analyse this and include in the forthcoming Berg site I'm making. It bears analysis, although, there are clearly some not very well supported statements made in the rant.]
[ via http://www.voxfux.com/archives/00000114.htm ]
Just in the nick of time, as the crusaders were going into meltdown over the outrage of the sexual perversions and torture photos of iraqi prisoners being released into the semiosphere, the word came down from up top, "We need a distraction, an atrocity, an outrage and we need it NOW!"
It's the classic "CIA, Black Op" it appears that The CIA arranged for some of their Iraqi musclemen (most likely Ahmed Chalabi) to cut off the head of what appears to be an American intelligence agent cutout for a staged atrocity, "made to order."
It looks like a "Sheep dip" operation. Berg is an Oswald. A patsy. A made to order, fall guy. A sleeper, waiting to be activated, this time as a sacrificial lamb to distract the comatose masses as they sit there and say, "Take my rights but protect my precious flesh."
Questions are swirling around the very suspicious activities of the CIA in the hours preceding the beheading of the 26 year old American.
There is also the question of the alarming, "coincidental," connection to Moussaoui.
The murdered man's father is coming out with a scathing attack on Bush claiming it's Bush who is behind the death of his kid.
And the message gets transmitted at different levels to different groups.
1) For the gullible non thinkers sheep they get the brunt of the horror and nothing more. For their brains are so profoundly stunted by the continuous "Psy-op" and the alpha state induced conditioning from the television. In the alpha state you forget about the coffins and rape. And now you react exactly in the pre-planned way and say, "See, Raping and torture is much better than Beheading, see, we're the good guys cause we only rape and torture, not like those evil terrorists who cut off people's heads... duh"
2) But to the thinking people, the people who are aware and awake the message is loud and clear: We can kill you at will. Anytime - anywhere. You'll be the next one in the orange smock.
3) Also the message to the antiwar movement (Berg was supposedly "Anti war") is: "Watch out! We're offing civilians now too." (Although don't believe for one second that he was just a civilian. He's got "Agency Patsy" written all over his decapitated body.)
4) Apparently what the Freepers did was to get a list of anti war movement people and publicize it and create a hit list in essence and this kid's name was on the freepers list and he goes over there and get's picked up by US forces who later deny they detained him.
5) The Message is: Stuff happens to anti war people.
It's the softening up and desensitization of the human mind.
Gun's present in frame: Israeli Ak47 and a Mac 9MM
White plastic lawn chair identical is the same as in Abu Gharib prison torture and sexual assault photos.
Raising the threat level for those who can see it.
For those who can see what is real prometheus (kid's company name)
The Neo Cons are bringing the terror to a new level.
They would of course have Chalabi's boys do the act.
It's got EVERY SINGLE HALLMARK OF A CIA BLACK OP JOB
1) It's got the bogus near certain identification of the hooded executioner as being "Al-Zarqawi" within minutes. A feat literally impossible for the CIA to do.
2) There was No Blood spurting from neck. Experts (Except the CIA "Ex-spurts") noticed the obvious lack of blood spurting from any neck artery which should accompany a beheading - There was none. (Major media fails to mention this obvious fact)
3) Looks like the same director who did the previous phony Bin Laden Video with the admittedly fake Bin Laden.
4) It's surfacing that Berg worked at the Abu Ghraib prison???????????????????WTF!!!
5) There is a Link to Moussaoui. Moussaoui emailed something from this kid's laptop. The FBI says: "Nothing to see here, move along." And the media doesn't dare talk too much about it. And they are going to try to tell the American people, "Oh it's just a coincidence that the so called 20th hijacker just COINCIDENTALLY emailed from this kid's laptop before 911. And the people who's minds have been so sadly destroyed by the effects and dumbing down of the Television, will accept that it just must have been a coincidence. (The thinking is: If it's got the swirling graphics and ominous theme music and read by some blond bimbo on CNN, we can feed these mental midgets anything, no matter how ridiculous - they'll believe anything.)
6) Berg has a mysterious Israeli passport stamp.
7) Berg has sensitive electronic equipment on his person that he has no paperwork for.
8) Berg travels the world helping the disadvantaged? Huh? What? Big Hmmmm on that one.
9) And just exactly what is a jew doing as a freelancer in the apocalyptic war torn Jew hating Iraq? Does he have a death wish? Is he mentally retarded? Nope, He's a US government agent - albeit a patsyesque one.
10) Bergs father smells a rat - he thinks it's the US Gov who killed his son - and not abstractly so either.
These are the working notes of this atrocity, look for updates as this story develops Berg was absolutely positively murdered by the shadow operators of the US Government. It's in your face. It's a very dangerous time for the human race.
Get in their face
Dont have a shred of fear
Don't give in an inch to their Nazi tactics
Get off your knees
Open your mind
Wake up and fight these bastards!

The Berg Beheading
I saw the beheading video today, after following a link from the cam-mafia website. I'm likely going to make a seperate website for this thing, since it's too much material for one blog post, honestly.
I read the article linked in the first paragraph, read the comments, then made the following comments myself:
Next weekend on the Mark and Darrell Show (Sunday, 8-Midnight, EST), we'll be talking about this and other similar topics again... (and we should be entertaining MC Chris, of Adult Swim fame on the show this weekend too, but that's neither here nor there).
Other than to plug the show, I posted here to comment... Several thoughts, in not any type of order or organisation:
A) The abuse still seems terrible. It doesn't seem horrific or offensive to me, but it still seems terrible. Allow me to explain: America is supposed to be a civilization. Iraq never made such claims. It is incumbent upon us to set the example as to how a civilization should act, and forcing their citizens into sexual acts is not civil, am I wrong?
2) War is hell. You think this sh!t hasn't been going on for years and years to worse degrees in every war that's ever been fought? If you said it hasn't been going on, you are ignorant then.
III) The world has not matured past the point of needing war. I'm sorry, we are still all human on this planet, and humans have urges to kill, and will do so regularly, and when organised as a nation, they will do so "quasi-legally" in the conventions we call war and conflict. Deal with it, or exit the human race.
D) Would you rather some other country in the world like North Korea or China, countries that don't even pretend to do things for a just cause, be running war-crazy, or the United States, a country that has to at least come up with a half-assed justifiable reason for doing what they do (thereby limiting what kind of conflicts they can get into).
Listen, I'm not a George Bush supporter. I think he started this war for corrupt reasons, and I think he's a disgrace to the nation, but no worse than Kerry would be, no worse than Gore would be, no worse the Clinton was, no worse than his father was ... (you see where I'm going with this?...)
The world better be counting their fucking lucky stars that America is bound to at least *pretend* they are a civilisation. A country like China, if they had the capability and had a similar thing happen to them what with the beheadings and all, would make the middle east a glass fscking parking lot for all that.
Allow me to plaigerize from Chris Rock's new standup routine I've seen about 50,000 times on HBO lately: "I love America, there's no place I'd rather be ... but you have to look at America a little bit differently. He's like that uncle that paid your way through college ... but molested you."
Remember, America is the worst country in the world. Except for all the other ones.
Then I watched the video.
I was almost sick after seeing it. It's one thing when you watch such a video when you know it's Faces of Deat or something. It's quite another when the U.S. Gov't makes claims of it's authenticity.
I was discussing the article on the #cammafia chatroom on irc.cam-mafia.com, and Prash suggested that it might be a fake.
I went to snopes.com to check out and see if there were any posts about it yet. Apparently their jury is still out... I went on the discussion forum, and most of the posts were pretty ineffectual for determining one way or the other, except this one:
In the end, it really doesn't matter, but when this video first aired, I heard on CNN that even though the website this video first aried on stated the murder was carried out by Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi, translators didn't believe it was him because of the killer's accent. They said it wasn't Jordanian. Now U.S. officials seem to be certain that the killer in the video is indeed Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi. My question is, to anyone who has seen this video (I've haven't, just a couple of video frames), does the killer appear to move around as if he has an artificial leg or anything else to indicate he only has one leg, as Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi only has one leg.
So I continue my hunt. I found some more
Nick Berg, a small telecommunications business owner, spoke to his parents on March 24 and told them he would return home on March 30. But Berg was detained by Iraqi police at a checkpoint in Mosul on March 24. He was turned over to U.S. officials and detained for 13 days.
His father, Michael, said his son wasn't allowed to make phone calls or contact a lawyer.
FBI agents visited Berg's parents in West Chester on March 31 and told the family they were trying to confirm their son's identity. On April 5, the Bergs filed suit in federal court in Philadelphia, contending that their son was being held illegally by the U.S. military. The next day Berg was released. He told his parents he hadn't been mistreated.
Michael Berg said he blamed the U.S. government for creating circumstances that led to his son's death. He said if his son hadn't been detained for so long, he might have been able to leave the country before the violence worsened.
"I think a lot of people are fed up with the lack of civil rights this thing has caused," he said. "I don't think this administration is committed to democracy."
Puts a different spin on things... yes? He spent an awful lot of time in U.S. Custody. Interesting.
I found this in an article on CNN:
The Web site said the killing had been carried out by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of an Islamist terrorist group that has claimed responsibility for numerous attacks on coalition forces in Iraq.
The voice on the tape could not be verified as that of al-Zarqawi. CNN staffers familiar with al-Zarqawi's voice said the voice on the tape did not sound like him.
I will say this: I'm not seeing a whole lot out there suggesting this video is fake. On the other hand, however, there are two points that Prash and I discovered in our discussion that made us wonder (not to mention the other things I've previously quoted in this article) ... the beheader's hand seemed unnaturally white for an Arab, and the camera work was a lot like a lot of snuff films I've seen... really shakey work when they started to chop off his head.
I'm still sickened and disturbed by this video, and if it is real, is something it will take America a while to forgive.

Bad DM Quote: So this troll is regenerating our fire damage?
I was listening to [menace] this weekend, and he played this absolutely hilarious Mac commercial.
I hate clients.
This job would be fscking wonderful if it wasn't for the damn clients.
There's a special offer our software company has for clients of the mother company -- if you are an affiliate, you get a custom website done for $300 bucks, which is refunded if you bring in a certain quota of sales.
I created the layout http://rizzn.net/ccs for a certain client of ours, and she called me up this morning and complete bitched me out about how she wanted a refund, and the design was crap.
Ugh.
Anyways, I found this really decent site. If you know me, you've heard me rail against the mis-classification of what emo is. Go to http://www.fourfa.com/ and check out the history of emo. It's rizzn-approved. Go! Go learn something!

a little piece by Omega: "I was walking on the street today and two people had set up a table with a sign that read, "FREE STRESS TEST." An attractive, college-aged girl manning the table jumped up to intercept me as I walked by. "Hi, would you like to take a free stress test? It only takes a few minutes and I'm sure you would find it valuable," she said, smiling and standing in my way. I looked over at the table and there was some device about the size of a Playstation game console, that looked like an electronic drum pad. Right next to the drum pad were stacks and stacks of paperback editions of _DIANETICS_. I looked back at her and said, "Hokey religions and mystical energy fields are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid," and continued walking around her. Obi Wan, I think, would have been amused."

Ohio Diocese Eye Satanic Slay Allegations
Thursday April 29, 2004 5:31 AM
Thursday April 29, 2004 5:31 AM
By JOHN SEEWER TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - The Toledo Diocese is taking another look at a woman's previously dismissed claims of satanic sexual abuse by Roman Catholic priests now that one of the clergymen has been charged with the ``ritualistic'' slaying of a nun 24 years ago. The Rev. Gerald Robinson was arrested last week on charges of strangling and stabbing Sister Margaret Ann Pahl, 71, about 30 times during Easter weekend 1980. Her body, covered by an altar cloth and surrounded by burning candles, was found in a hospital chapel. Pahl's body was posed to look as if she had been sexually assaulted, but investigators said they found no evidence of sexual activity. The woman described satanic ceremonies in which clergy members placed her in a coffin filled with cockroaches, forced her to swallow what she believed to be a human eyeball and penetrated her with a snake ``to consecrate these orifices to Satan.'' The diocese had decided not to forward the woman's claims to authorities because it could not substantiate them. However, the allegations were brought to the attention of prosecutors in a letter received in December, assistant prosecutor Gary Cook said Monday. He would not say who sent the letter. It is also common for a sexual offender to kill one of his victims but not the others, he said. But Kenneth Lanning, a former FBI agent who studied hundreds of cases of alleged satanic abuse, said he found no documented examples of organized group ritual abuse. ``There were cases of bizarre crimes or people dabbling in the occult who performed bizarre crimes,'' he said. But he said there no evidence of a group or cult coordinating the abuse. Robinson remained in jail Wednesday. Supporters said they had enough money and property to meet his $200,000 bail but needed to complete the paperwork. The diocese is not paying the priest's legal bills. The Toledo Diocese includes 323,000 Catholics in northwestern Ohio. It has 159 parishes and 287 priests.

An open letter to Papa John's Pizza:
I won't ever be ordering from your company again. An employee at the Pompano Beach store of yours literally tried to steal from me in the process of taking my order.
Every week, sometimes as much as three times a week, I order from Papa John's and get the same order. The order always comes out to 13 dollars and some change (forty two cents, if memory serves). I know because I always hand the delivery guy fifteen dollars, and he keeps the change. I live about a half a block from the store, so I feel this is a just tip. Occasionally if the food arrives in an exceptionally quick period of time, I tip extra.
Regardless, I have been repeating this ritual for the 4 months I have been in Pompano. I, last week, attempted to order the same meal from the same branch, delivered to my office, which is even closer to your Pompano branch. They first tried to charge me $17, but I protested. They then tried to charge me $15 and some change.
I then got irate, and read the prices from the website, and he started an argument with me. Out of frustration, I got vulgar and then hung up.
I own and operate a highly trafficked website, and host a four hour, very popular radio show, internationally syndicated. I will be telling everyone within my sphere of influence of the conduct of your employees.
Is this rash? If this was the first time I had recieved bad service from Papa John's, I would agree with you, yes it is. The fact is, however, I've been Papa John's most ardent supporter amongst my sphere of influence, and have been ordering regularly from your different branches since I was a teenager. Over the last year, however, between the horrid service I have been recieving from the Hollywood, Florida branch and the starkly declining level of customer satisfaction I've registered from the Pompano branch, I have to say that the standards across the board are in sharp decline.
For your company's sake, I hope that you intend to get your business in order. Unfortunately, you will be doing this without my support as a customer, and with my ridicule as a public spokesperson.
I can understand having bad employees at one branch. I can understand having declining service levels at two branches. But to consistently recieve bad service, and then to have a representative of your company attempt to overcharge me for your product when I clearly know the correct price is outright wrong.

By the way, about the SportKa video
You might be here looking for the sportka video, you won't find it here anymore, at least not until I get my secondary server set up. I ran out of bandwidth in 11 days last month, and I'm not about to do it again this month. You fsckers use over a gig a day, and left unchecked, you get me listed in CNN, MSNBC and other such nonsense.
So keep an eye on the site, and I'll eventually put the vid back up.
Jokes that spammers think are amusing.
In my email today, I recieved some stupid piece of span for Viagra or something, and the following jokes were included (presumably to help defeat the spam filters):
London Fog
It was a very foggy day in London. The fog was so thick that it was impossible to see more than a foot or so. buses, cars and taxis were not able to run and were standing by the side of the road. People were trying to find their way about on foot but were losing their way in the fog. Mr. Smith had a very important meeting at the House of Commons and had to get there but no one could take him. He tried to walk there but found he was quite lost.
Suddenly he bumped into a stranger. The stranger asked if he could help him. Mr. Smith said he wanted to get to the Houses of Parliament. The stranger told him he would take him there. Mr. Smith thanked him and they started to walk there. The fog was getting thicker every minute but the stranger had no difficulty in finding the way. He went along one street, turned down another, crossed a square and at last after about half an hour's walk they arrived at the Houses of Parliament. Mr. Smith couldn't understand how the stranger found his way.
"It is wonderful," he said. "how do you find the way in the fog?"
"It is no trouble at all to me," said the stranger: " I am blind."
Coin Toss
It was at a five o'clock tea. A young man came to the hostess to apologize for his lateness.
"So good of you to come, Mr. Jones, and where is your brother?"
"You see we're very busy in the office and only one of us could come, so we tossed up for it."
"How nice! And so original, too! And you won?"
"No," said the young man absently," I lost!"
Coed Girls Gone Wild
On the first day of college, the Dean addressed the students, pointing out some of the rules: "The female dormitory will be out-of-bounds for all male students, and the male dormitory to the female students. Anybody caught breaking this rule will be fined $20 the first time."
He continued: "Anybody caught breaking this rule the second time will be fined $60. Being caught a third time will incur a hefty fine of $180. Are there any questions?"!!!!
At this point, a male student in the crowd inquired: "How much for a season pass?"
Birds and the Bees
One evening, in the midst of dinner preparation, our 10-year-old daughter asked, "Mommy, what's puberty?"
My wife was rushed at the moment, so she suggested that Peggy look up the word in the dictionary, after which they could talk about it.A few minutes later, Peggy returned. Her mother asked what the dictionary had said.
"Puberty means," announced Peggy, "the earliest age at which a girl is able to bear children."
"What do you think of that?" my wife asked.
"I'm not sure," Peggy relied. "I've always been able to bear children. It's adults I can't bear.".

Black Beans (no rice)
I made a new song today. I was doing a set on cam-mafia today, and I was playing with the mixing component to this new broadcast software I have now... I mixed Theivery Corporation's Black Uhura and Brad Pitt's opening music to the Mexican, and it mixed pretty well without trying, so I added some accents to the piece, lined things up properly, and chopped out the parts that didn't fit. The result is Black Beans! Enjoy!

the real question is: why am i in love with a keyboard?
CLICKY CLACKY CLICKY CLICKETY
[via lish]
A really good dissertation about clickety clack keyboards. I share her love of the suckers. Mine is clickety clackety too. I really don't know who made mine, all I know is I found it on an old 386 my dad had in his office years ago, and it says Laser on it.
It used to go pretty well with my beater machine, and crappy monitor, but now my case is grey with purple neon lights, my mouse is no longer that dirty trackball, it's a glowing Microsoft monstrosity, and my monitor is a 21" grey thingy.
But I refuse to give up my clickety clack. Maybe I'll give it a bath or paint it trendy colors or something.
