In that vein, there's also a sorta-funny twitter feed for Captain Hammer:
http://twitter.com/captainhammer

ETA:

But wait! According to the Comic-Con Panel, they're also going to have a contest. They'll take video submissions for the Evil League of Evil. 3 minutes, like you're applying to be on Survivor. 10 best submissions will be put on the  DVD.

Sadly, everyone that send email just gets an auto response. I doubt it's the trailhead for an ARG; it's probably just a fan effort, but it's still pretty cool.

I evilly sent in an appilcation in song form, thinking there was no reason Bad Horse could resist something in rhyme:

"I would love to apply
But when I did try
I found that applications were closed.

To join evil's elite
Would be ever so sweet
So I hope I'm not totally hosed.

I searched the web page source
for secret messages from Bad Horse
BUt my hopes were all for naught.
So, now I write you
To show what I can do
Bad Horse, let me show you what I've got!"

Kinda near S. Collins Road and East Park Rown, near the Parkdale and Arlington cemeteries.

Of course, just my luck... the Lone Star in Arlington proper moves closer to our house...

..and we're moving further south into Arlington this week.  ::(:

I had sake for the first time recently.  You could probably run a car with it.

Warm, or cold?

I'll start with one that I just made up last week that had the potential to be awful but turned out pretty okay:

The Dr. McNinja

1 highball glass, chilled
1/2 glass crushed ice
1 shot vanilla rum
3/4 shot glass sake
Fill remaining glass with Dr. Pepper (I used diet).

Otherwise, I don't drink much (still working on the upstate vinyard wines my wife and I purchased last thanksgiving), and when I do, I'm usually knocking back a glass of wine or a pale ale or something, but if I do order a mixed drink, it's usually an extra dry vodka martini (because I can't stand gin).

I get positively flustered on the rare times I have ever actually swore in front of my Mom.

I tend to employ profanity with friends, but usually only if I'm upset (either by said friend or on said friends behalf). The most common swear I usually let loose with is "damn it!" or "god damn it" (despite my militant atheism, and my one swear I abuse when I'm frustrated at, say, one of our roommate's ancient cats climbing atop our dryer and shitting all over it it "god-fucking-damn-it" said at the same time as a frustrated sigh.

I also have a superstition of sorts carried over from my Presbyterian days: never, EVER swear in the presence of a minister, ever.

So last year, when I was helping a friend assemble heavy metal scaffolding in the backyard of his Dad -- his preacher Dad's, and the entire weight and point came down upon my foot, my immediate instinct to swear was overridden in my lizard-brain: DON'T SWEAR. ESPECIALLY DO NOT SAY 'GOD-FUCKING-DAMN-IT!

So instead, apparently, my brain figured plain old vulgarity was better, because I let loose with a howl of pain and "Ow! Cum-guzzling son of a WHORE!"

OH, wow.

That speech.

Not only was it a well-done reply to Wright and critics of Obama's association thereof... it was a layered, complex look at race in America today. I can't believe a politician would give a speech like that without trying to knock it down to sound bites.

And much to my cynical side's surprise, I actually caught a lump in my throat once or twice.

August Pollak must be reading my mind, talking about Elliot Spitzer:

Eliot, you are a fucking idiot. You stupid, stupid, fucking stupid, shitheaded, stupid, stupid, stupid, fucking stupid, fucking idiot. Fucking shit-for-brains goddamn stupid asshole. You fucking stupid, stupid, stupid twat. You fucking moron.

Is there a chance we could sit down for a moment and have a brief chat about how fucking stupid you are? Because I'm not sure you've really grasped how fucking stupid you are. You, sir, are really fucking stupid.

Jesus tap-dancing Christ, are you stupid. Are you really that stupid? Oh my holy titfucking Jesus, you are actually that goddamn stupid. You absolute dick. You complete and total stupid bastard. I mean, good god. Stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid. You are so fucking stupid.

Listen to me. No, look at- I said fucking look at me. Look. At. Me. You. Stupid. Cocknugget. What the fuck were you thinking? Do you have any idea how fucking stupid you are? I just- fuck you, stop looking at me. Goddamn it. You fucking idiot. Holy shit, you are stupid. You are so fucking stupid. You stupid asshole.

Fuck you.

After accidentally fucking up an attempt at dual-boot partitioning that wiped out both my C: drive AND my other hard drive, I kinda got shoved right onto the open source path, and I've been running Ubuntu gutsy.

I love it. 9 times out of ten, stuff just WORKS. Sound, monitor, word processing, converting to pdf, text, movie files, whatever. It took a week of noodling around to get flash to work on my computer, and the GIMP is an okay-but-no-where near substitute for Photoshop, but I love everything else. I swear, if desktop linux was this easy to use 5 years ago, I wouldn't have sworn off it it for so long.

I have an old motherboard, and relatively small space (boot drive is 20 gigs, same for my other HD), and for the most part, stuff is really fast. With th exception of "Passage", pretty much anything not specifically made for linux runs pretty well in a windows emulator.

I had no choice but to use Vista at my rmost-recent job, and the only good thing about it (for me) were the ability to treat thumb drives as extra gigs of RAM, and the fact that the windows explorer shell could theorhetically refresh itself instead of crashing and taking the whole system down with it-- which one day made the difference between "15 minutes of gummed-up performance" and "oh, great, I lost an hour's worth of work".

Looks like Obama’s walking away with a net delegate gain from Texas. It would have been nice for him to win the primary vote, but I think the state did pretty good for Obama, all things considered.

I still don't get it.

Nader is three years older than McCain.

Nader is six months younger than the average age of death in the United States.

It is very, very unlikely that Nader is going to get on every state ballot in the country.

Nader could possibly... possibly! garner himself a hundred thousand votes.

Nationwide.

This run isn't about changing the country, it's about Nader whacking off while he stares into a a mirror longingly (metaphorically).

Exactly. He's not doing anything effective with this. He's not much of an atlernative choice, and he's also not much of a liberal anymore, least of all because actual liberals seem interested in getting things done or effecting real change.

Nader was a liberal.

He was a liberal when he spoke out against the auto industry, and led a campaign to increase awareness and government safety regulations.

That was decades ago.

There is no constructive reason for him to run for president, he will not be included in any of the debates, he will not make it only the majority of the ballots, I would be shocked if the Greens would have him, I doubt very much he will influence any of the discussions held during the campaign. He's shown zero reflection or contrition for anything he did post-2000, like screwing over the Green Party in 2004, and whenever he "speaks out" it's either to announce that he's thinking about running for President, he's running for President, or demagoguing Terri Schiavo or talking with Pat Buchanan in The American Conservative talking about how he's opposed to "feticide."

Nader's had ample time to show that he can be a) relevant or b) not a duchebag.

He's done neither.

Quote from: Iron_Mongrel
By the way, funny irony: I'm married to a woman I met online.

Me too! For me, the connections I've made via the Internet have for the most part been far-reaching and long lasting.

The one thing I wonder about though, is how exactly virtual worlds and games are supposed to influence change in the real world when the medium is viewed as a source of entertainment media.

 I mean, the big theme of GDC seemed to be "democratizition", but that that mesh well with those feel the game industry has a responsibility to use its medium as a podium to influence social change or reform?

Ralph Nader is just shining a spotlight on his greasy slide further down the Hill of Irrelevancy.

If I recall correctly, he received less than a half-million votes out of over a hundred million in 2004, and that was a mere fifth of what he received in 2000.

Nader is a self-aggrandizing, bitter, irrelevant shell of a formerly credible progressive activist that is lucky enough to actually have a camera turned on him while he talks.  :rage:

Aw, jeez.

Threats against Obama are mounting, rhetoric is starting to boil over.

What would this mean for us as a nation? I agree with The Pain:

Quote
If it happens—God forbid—it will be a tragedy not only for one man, those who love him, and those who had pinned their political hopes on him, but for the whole nation. It will threaten to make us believe that the worst among us somehow are somehow representative of all of us. Just when we were on the verge of a symbolic redemption in the eyes of the world, it’ll confirm that we are a lawless, violent nation of racists and killers.
