I agree that Battleblog is ok to do whilst hungover. Good clear indication of transfer to your personal log John. When the pain is gone, move on. I'd like to say have a happy new year to all in blogland. Have a happy century, happy year of the snake (...or duck), and happy 3rd millennium. I personally feel we should remake the calender with July, 1969 as our starting date... no not Woodstock...mankind's first step on another celestial object, the moon!!!

I believe any spoon will do John. Pour the guiness secondly over a spoon so that the pressure doesn't penetrate the Bass or whatever the lower lighter beer is and I think that's it. I might be wrong, because I've never actually made a black and tan, but I think that's the idea. Let me know how it went.

Well, at my parents house the drunkenfish comes up as corners of pictures and totally out of whack. Now, I understand a little of John's recent complaints. I haven't been catering to 800x600 cave people or netscape even for that matter. I took a look at Tanque, just to see if he catered to the display impaired and he does. Well, I'm not gonna let that punk ass site out do my user friendliness, so my next goal is to make the pages look halfway decent at the incredibly low resolution in which I'm finding so many people view the net. Another change to the the site is going to include deleting two of the original bloggers, because they are not blogging. I know... harsh language for drinking buddies, but if you don't use it, you lose it. They'll both be given an e-mail and if no response is sent then there will only be 3 bloggers on the drunkenfish. Hopefully, we'll be able to rustle up so more bloggers soon.

In 1555, Nostradamus wrote:

"Come the millennium, month 12,
In the home of greatest power,
The village idiot will come forth
To be acclaimed the leader.

I did the machine version of anagram fun and I didn't come up with much, but I at least feel better about my anagram, which the machine actually didn't come up with.

"one ninjas member" was all I could come up with for an anagram to Benjamin Emerson. That kinda sucks...need to think about it some more.

There... that eel is much better. I got alot done on the page today, but no one will ever notice. First of all, my story pages all really just hooked up to tanque.org before and now they're legit. Also I got the pictures and links on proper for those pages... like I said, it's not very obvious, but it took me a while. You don't have much time before the end of the year Jim. I sure would like to see something from anyone in tanque.org as well. I realize by whinning, that I'm not winning over any potential writers, but I don't seem to be winning over any potential writers anyway, so what the hell.
That article that Amos hyperlinked to on his page is scary... I already suspected that the Supreme Court was going to remain republican simply because of the retirement times chosen by the republican majority, but to see the hearsay right on the written page sent a chill up my spine. We'll see how many of them retire in the next 4 years.

Haven't bought any family Christmas gifts yet, except for my mom's, which I just received an e-mail from Amazon.com saying it wouldn't make it by Christmas. I'm not off to a roaring start this holiday season.

This is very annoying... I can't keep my eel picture up on the page because everytime I post, the blogger html deletes it. hmmm... I suppose, I'll have to figure something out here.

Man... I was at my company Christmas luncheon and a lady asked, "Guys, we need these chairs put around the tables." and I'm thinking "Guys? Why is that a guy job?" I got up and helped lift chairs from the stack to put around the tables, but I'm really getting sick of women using chilvary as an excuse to be lazy. I don't feel better about myself for lifting heavy objects. Actually, I just feel like a moron for listening to whatever woman is using me. I've had ladies stop in front of a door and expect me to walk around them to open it for them. "Bitch!" I'd just as soon push them on the ground to get to the door. It's especially bad here in the South. My boss (who is a woman) will always tell other women, "oh, let the boys do that for you." Homey don't play that. Actually, the pathetic part is I do. But anyday now, I'm going to put my foot down and say, "no you lazy bitch, carry it yourself." Well, someday maybe.

I know that eel isn't too impressive, but I couldn't find much on eels.... I hope with further searching, I find a more worthy eel. If someone else knows of a better eel ... let me know.

I posted earlier talking about Alanis Morissette and I thought that I really only liked that one song "Thank U", but I just listened to the whole cd and I feel a little more deeply about the whole project. Yes, I'm drunk, but I think that even though I don't identify with the things she says all the time, and yes alot of it sounds musically the same, but she is speaking for herself. Just like Lennon did. It's nice to hear. I recommend a second listen, incase anyone has dismissed Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie. It seems to me to be an honest cd and the musical effort is very worthy. Just thought I'd plug that, because there isn't much today that is in that realm of truthfulness with that kind of skill. I recommend logging on to Napster and downloading any song off that album at random.

I just thought of something... believe it or not. BattleBlog probably is viewed by alot of random people simply because we blog often in a short period of time. On the main blogger site I always like hitting on the recent post of others and while BattleBlog is in motion, it probably appears several times, appearing very often on the list of choices that have just been posted to. Also at a drunkenfreindly time, so the name might even inspire a click. Follow? That's really kind of a scary thought. Yeeeha!

Well, now that Gore has been thouroghly fucked in the ass, do you suppose he has been softened to the plight of the average american? Does Prince Albert understand that wall of cold indifference that stands before us all and leaves us powerless to affect the powers that be? Perhaps, this will create a greater man of Al Gore. Perhaps a real defender of the american people will be born from this experience. Perhaps, he'll just fly into a maddening swirl of jealousy and hunger for power. Time will tell, I suppose. What has this election done to me? Well, the illusion that the Supreme Court is some kind of sanctuary for truth and justice has been obliterated. No institution is beyond corruption and it is a part of growing up, to understand that. I also feel that no individual is beyond corruption. I guess that means that controlling my own morallity and sense of justice is about the only thing I can do. A friend of mine asked me the other day how I could possibly have morality without believing in God. "You could do whatever you wanted," was the phrase used. True. One can do whatever one wants to do. I think the world is more beautiful knowing that, fully understanding that, and then marvelling at how well we all actually get along. It's amazing to me. Certainly our societies are not morally held together by the instituions of religion. We can easily take a glance at any moment in recorded history to see that there is corruption in those systems. The individual is the foundation of morality. The golden rule. No governmental body is ever going to be perfect, but the lessons, like this Supreme Court decision, dropping the atomic bomb, the creation of Israel, letting Rush Limbaugh have a radio program, etc..., hopefully teaches us and fills our history, our collective memory, and aids us in making better choices in the future. The song "Thank-you" by Alanis Morrisette is a good reflection of that thought.

Here is the ultimate way to experience Mardi Gras. Check out the pictures page on that site. I gots to get me a sneaky leaker!

Go China! Manned Spaced Flight within the next 5 years. Coolness. Maybe China can get the ball rolling a little faster on space colonization. I'm taking off work 30 minutes early so I can get home in time for Gore's speech. I am so ready for a political revolution. We don't need to change the things that work... just the things that in this day and age are idiotic. Our system failed this election. I'm sure Gore will be very statesman-like and concede gracefully, but part of me wants him to address my anger.

How many times can one refresh the screen while on the AP newsline? I think I set some sort of record today. Well, the Supreme Court got sleepy I guess so they quit for today. "Yawn... we're the Supreme Court, no one is going to rush us. We already knew how we were going to rule on all of this way back on friday anyway. Silly lawyers. Silly voters."

Jimmy had a good idea in the drunken battle blog and now it's real. Certainly you can write drunkenly on your own weblogs, but this might be fun. Let me know if you people want these posts anonymous or with a name stamp. For now, you will be identified. I repeat, you will be identified.

I wanted to go off on the U.S. Supreme court and the Florida legislature, but I just don't have the energy. There truly is no thing as justice.

...and uh... let us all bow our heads a moment for the god of rock n' roll, Mr. John Lennon. I remember in 1980 walking around in a slump for weeks trying to look more depressed than my musical buddy Will Sibley in school, so that he understood that I was a bigger Lennon fan than him. I still have my beat up old White Album Lennon photo above my bedroom door as I always do in every place I've ever lived. When all is said and done though... I don't believe in Lennon..... I just believe in me.... Yoko and me... and that's reality.

Wahooooo!!! They're counting ballots in Florida! I can't help, but think that the Republicans are just plain evil for pushing their power in the legislature to override the will of the people and decide for themselves who their electoral votes should go to. Just plain evil. It's a sure sign that we need to take those ancient powers away. I think nobody has bothered to take them away, because they never imagined in this day and age that anyone would stoop so low as to use them. We are an edumacated society now. I would certainly not want my vote overriden by someone who thinks they know better than me.
The space microbe!!! That is cool. It seems though, that it would be very likely that a) the weather balloon was contaminated or b) it swirled up to the stratosphere by natural processes or c) we find that the biosphere is larger than we previously thought. I don't find it too suprising either that it was a totally new species of bacterium. I would suppose their are thousands or millions of unknown bacterium. Still, I do favor the theory that life was brought to earth by comets and asteroids. I guess that makes this part of my blog and the entire news report kind of meaningless all around. I sure wish we could have somekind of wonderful scientific discovery that knocked us all on our collective ass. I sure could use that kind of boost of excitement right about now.

John not only removed the chocolate from his chin, he removed his first post! That's not the true spirit of drunkenfish. You live with what you say here mister. They'll be no nancyboy retraction because you kinda sorta feel some sweet thing might be offended. What's the fun of drunkenly making an ass of yourself, if you erase it before anyone gets the chance to read it? On another note, the DSL dude never showed up. It's been over a month since I placed my order. Screw 'em. I'll wait until later to get it.

Well, the DSL installer dude is coming in the morning. Should I clean up my pad for the DSL dude? I don't think so. I mean the most he could say would be, like "Fuck, you're a slob!" and that would be the end of it. Well, I've finished off the Stoli an O.J., so I guess it's bedtime. I'm counting on him showing up at 1pm since he said he would be here between 8am and 12pm.
