Two bears at the Belgrade Zoo, Masha and Misha, spent the
annual beer-festival weekend feasting on a 23-year-old
Serb, who was discovered naked, dead, and half-eaten in
their cage. "Only an idiot," said zoo director Vuk
Bojovic, "would jump into the bear cage."
Melting ice in the Arctic revealed previously unknown islands that have
yet to be claimed.

Holy shit it's finally here...  After what seems like years my lazy ass
is finally sending out these emails.  So, if you are on this list you
probably know that the Broken Record Bar and Grill is hosting beer pong
tournaments on Sunday afternoons.  Teems of two people will compete
against each other in a bracket style single elimenation tournament
untill a winner for that day is declaired.  The overall winner of the
tournaments will be sent to Las Vegas, Nevada to represent the bar in the World Series of Beer Pong.  The rules of the sunday Broken Record tournaments will remain consistant with the rules played at the World Series whenever possible.  To see a full list of rules follow the link to
http://www.bpong.com/wsobp/ii/rulesandregs/
and click on "full rules".   Official tournaments will be played every
other sunday and alternate sundays will be open for practice, singles
play, alternate rules, shit talking etc...  For now the cheapest way to
play beer pong is for both teems to split a pitcher of pabst.  This
brings the cost to 2$ per person per game.  This will continue untill a
general entry fee is instated.  For now, the tables, cups and balls are
all on the house.  So find a partner, pick a team name and come to the
broken record sunday afternoon.  Signups start at 2pm and game play
starts whenever we have enough teems to make it fun.  Dont forget, it's
just a game people....  lets have fun and get sour.

Perhaps this would interest your blog? It's a medical case study from India.

Accidental condom inhalation.
Arya CL, Gupta R, Arora VK.

Jaswant Rai Speciality Hospital, Meerut, India.

A 27-year-old lady presented with persistent cough, sputum and fever for the preceding six months. Inspite of trials with antibiotics and anti-tuberculosis treatment for the preceeding four months, her symptoms did not improve. A subsequent chest radiograph showed non-homogeneous collapse-consolidation of right upper lobe. Videobronchoscopy revealed an inverted bag like structure in right upper lobe bronchus and rigid bronchoscopic removal with biopsy forceps confirmed the presence of a condom. Detailed retrospective history also confirmed accidental inhalation of the condom during fellatio.

"Playtime is over!"

this is a test, if this were a real post, i would have linked something.

handheld

you may have noticed that i recently added some changes to thedailychuppler. i was tired of the same template i was using, and i was really curious to see if the other addition could capture the essence of what i go on about here.
so far, they haven't.

in other news, i went for a long walk with the dr last night, in a quest for dinner. we dropped by the mini golf course in hayes valley. i am proposing an open mini golf tournie on 9/1. anyone care to join?

also we ate at Borgo, the place on the corner of fell and laguna, where i sped by during the early years of my residence in eS-eF. the food was average, but better than i expected. and the place really fills up with peoples. i'd be willing to give it another shot, as the salad we had was awesome, but my carbonara was meh.

as we sat in the (pretty cool) wooden booth at the window on the corner of fell n laguna, i recalled to the dr how i used to take that freeway corner at 60 and blast past the borgo at 50 mph up the hill towards the panhandle. i'm very nostalgic for that time, and yet i don't miss that freeway at all, now that i don't live on that side anymore (also, nevermore). but don't let it not be said that i like octavia blvd. i realize it is/was a political decision, but still am not enamored by it (but i do like patricia park, and even miss those b-man structures in the beginning).
and so here is that structure.
have a great day, and take the new poll.

i continue to dominate in sheer volume of posts lately. esp over esteban, anyhow.

how weird is it when you meet someone at a bar who you may have known as a junior high student? 3 outta 5 for weird, methinks.


do not try this game. it will eat your soul. good zombie game here... is there more fun than the chainsaw? maybe the chainsaw in the castro...

what? Harj strikes again!

i am freaking baffled.

also, i am freaking pleased.

i am freaking interested.

wow

simply amazing.

not me me me, but meme (and damn you jamie)

also, this, of import to me: (from Harpers [I heart you Harpers]
What follows is an excerpt from The Shadow Factory, the aphasic memoir Paul dictated with such struggle and resolve, “forcing language back on itself.” In it, he recalls life in the hospital’s rehab unit, what he felt and thought, and explores some of the all-too-real tricks the mind plays to save itself from the tomb of lost words.

— DIANE ACKERMAN

“Bosh,” one hears you exclaim, “this man is writing about nothing!” But is he? It could be that he is writing about something somebody said to him after he had regained his senses, or that he regained these senses for himself, and detected shreds of rabbit fluff here and there. Imagine a man coming round after five days in the human tank that denatures us all and finds no memory worth talking about. I suspected as much from my 10-day immersion in whatever I was immersed in.

My personalDNA Report



but really am enjoying this.

putting the ASS in passive

while I have had my share of passive aggressive notes from both work and my neighbors at home, neither of these notes are from/for me.
BTW - if you ever 'helpfully' ruin something for me at my job (like our A/C friend back there), consider that an act of open warfare, and your job will become incrementally harder for all eternity (or until you quit).

you know you love it ~
i suppose i shouldn't be surprised, but i didn't know this insurance product existed...

Over 500 victims of clergy sexual abuse settled their claims with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles for $660 million; the Archdiocese is expected to sell up to 50 church properties to raise funds, as many of the cases date from periods when it had little or no sexual-abuse insurance.

a couple of vids for you

this one, from slovamskey:


and this awesome thriller video. maybe i'm late to the party on both, but damn funny:

yes. it's that time

to my friend, Este (who stubbornly refuses to write):

[stolen from harpers]

and in England, gingerists, or people with a bias against red hair, were subjecting the auburn-headed to slurs like “you ginger bastard” or “you right ginger whinger.” The Internet's storehouse of wisdom, information, and pornographic images was determined to weigh 0.2 millionths of an ounce.

Also, if you can't find me this week, there is a really good reason.

Salmo yeehaw!

finally, maybe i should be watching this show (thanks peebs):
Bubbles: Do you want to see a rocket go, Randy?
Randy: Does it really launch, Bubbles?
Bubbles: [rhetorically] Does it really launch? Does the tin man have a sheet metal cock?

wear yo headphones. now press here.
see?
stereophonic, bitches.
i whisper you the code.

in otehr news; an open letter to:
Americas Test Kitchen -
How can you do this to me?
How is it that you send me weekly email to join your 'sister' site, and hide the recipes that i paid good money for behind the sister site and then ask me to pay, again, for the use of these recipes?
is it because you believe somehow i give a shit about a 'free microplane grater'? the answer to that question, and many other unrelated questions, is NO.

In final-ment, some harpers -

Jerry Falwell died. "Dr. Falwell," said
Senator John McCain, "was a man of distinguished
accomplishment."

remember that in '08.

get yo harpers on (Or Works to Worse)

Ya'll remember when Ralph Nader ran for president? I'm paraphrasing
here, but he mentioned that in order for the political system and
the nation in general to become something that actually works, "it
would have to get a lot worse before it gets better".

You think this is what he meant (via harpers):

The Republican candidates for the presidency debated at the
Ronald Reagan Library in California. 
* - Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas said that the day Roe v.
Wade was repealed would be "a glorious day of human liberty
and freedom" and that the current tax system "ought to be
taken behind a barn and killed with a dull ax"; 
* - Senator John McCain of Arizona claimed that he would
"follow [Osama bin Laden ] to the gates of hell"; 
* - Texas Congressman Ron Paul said that not going to war in
Iraq would have been "conservative," because "it's a
Republican, it's pro-American, it follows the Founding Fathers.
And besides, it  follows the Constitution." 
* - California Congressman Duncan Hunter took responsibility
for the border fence in San Diego. "It's a double fence," he said.
"It's not that little straggly fence you see on CNN  with
everybody getting over it." 
* - "No one on this stage," said former Arkansas governor Mike
Huckabee, "probably knows Hillary Clinton better than I do,"
to which former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani replied:
"Oh my!" 

Collectively, the candidates invoked Reagan's name nearly 20
times. It was announced that Reagan's diaries would be published. 

"Getting shot," he wrote in 1981, "hurts."

damn you Beck

damn you and your new album, and your damn good song, which has been playing constantly up in my grill.

taking Amtrak to Nigeria

You say Take the train?

You ever sit around your apartment, and think of taking the train to go see your friend in LA, or Portland? Well, there is a problem. Amtrak's California service is a freaking joke.

The problem is more than just here in the west, the entire system is being manipulated in all sorts of ways. This guy here is advocating privatization, which I am not sure about, but do agree that by hiring lobbyists the public would finally hear something about the problem.

In other news, let's all take the Amtrak to Nigeria! Here are the conductors! Yippeee!

In other other news, Hey Este, let's "Get Happy"....

who hearts Harpers?

in Baghdad, a U.S. congressional delegation outfitted with bulletproof vests, flanked by 100 soldiers in armored Humvees, and watched over by attack helicopters, visited a local bazaar to demonstrate the success of the current security plan. It was, said Representative Mike Pence (R., Ind.), just like an "outdoor market in Indiana in the summertime."

Actual Outdoor market in Indiana:




Are those gunships? 
Oh. 
No, those are trees.
