From Annie Hall

I don't want to blaspheme and speak ill of The Holy Trinity (Star Wars, Empire, Jedi) but Annie Hall really did deserve that Oscar™ in 1977 after all.

I dream about this scene, except in my dream we follow the guy back to his house, wait until night, nail the front door shut and set the place on the fire.

Then after the family climbs down a rope made of knotted bed sheets and huddles together on the driveway watching their home go up in flames I step forward and tell the children,
"LOOK AT WHAT YOUR DADDY MADE ME DO..."
while pointing into the heart of the inferno...

and... SCENE

I looked this up once in one of those dream analysis books and (although I'm paraphrasing somewhat) basically it said I'm really well-adjusted and emotionally healthy.

Which is nice.

Slab City

This is a bit of a weird one. Slab City is a squat/collective type place out by California's Salton Sea. A wilderness of Meth and a full dress rehearsal of the post-apocalypse. It's a little bit long (20 minutes), so be sure and watch it at work.

Local Adventurer Celebrates Birthday

Mr. DNA: Here seen endorsing an automated Ice Selling Machine while purchasing gasoline somewhere in the American Southwest.

Gather round, good people. Check the calendar and make sure if you must, but I assure you that today is the date and our good friend (and a founding Smart Patroll-er), Mr. DNA is having himself a birthday this very day. Please join us in wishing him the very best of birthdays, but speak up, because at his advanced years we can't expect a full range of auditory response.

When not tracking the, North American Bigfoot across the 48 contiguous Federal States, 10 provinces and 3 territories of Royal Canadia, Mr. DNA can often be found at his sprawling California ranch with his lovely wife, Bernadette, his wonderful children, Inky and Princess, and their poorly behaved dog, Kit.

In his free time, Mr. DNA enjoys collecting folk art, playing power pop music with his band, The New Dover Smoothtones and buying gasoline as he was when in the above Photostatic™ was captured.

His exact age is not known, but is believed to be somewhere around 67 or a number that rhymes with 67.

Happy Birthday and Good Hunting!

Generation A by Douglas Coupland

It is September, time to think about maybe reading a book this year.
Douglas Coupland wrote a book. Probably no pictures, but not a lot of big words either.
BTW I have always thought j was a bit of an afterthought myself.

An Annual Tradition.


She's waitin' for me
when I get home from work
oh, but things ain't just the same
She turns out the light
and cries in the dark
won't answer when I call her name

On the stairs I smoke a
cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin'
fireworks below
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July

She gives me her cheek
when I want her lips
but I don't have the strength to go
On the lost side of town
in a dark apartment
we gave up trying so long ago

On the stairs I smoke a
cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin'
fireworks below
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July

What ever happened I
apologize
so dry your tears and baby
walk outside, it's the Fourth of July

On the stairs I smoke a
cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin'
fireworks below
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July
Hey baby, Baby take a walk outside

Happy Birthday America,

This is fascinating, anyone COULD do this but you have to be a "David Lynch Type" for anyone to care. Luckily David Lynch is a "David Lynch Type" (maybe the only one?). Maybe it's a little precious in it's conceit (much like that last sentence) but if you have five minutes to spare...

What Were YOU Doing When You Were Nine?

Jason, Andy and I saw this kid when he opened for Lebowski-fest last week. In person he is, in fact, clearly a midget or a robot in a costume.
However he still shreds and therefore I move down the list of the World's Greatest Guitarists one more position.

I'm somewhere around six billion, but moving down steadily as the population grows.

Guitar Hero gets SUPERAWESOMER™

Once this song melts the rock-out center of your brain you will never be the same. Also if you try to count the clichés in this little ditty you will be pretty close to the Box Office gross of Michael Bay's remake.
Also our Guitar Hero friends will be happy to know that Stan Bush's greatness will be available for free download very soon. So when can I come over and play this little baby along with "Strutter" by KISS (which is also awesome)?

My buddy, John Mayer



John Mayer is apparently a very talented musician who chicks dig. He dates Jennifer Aniston (from Friends, yay!) But I only know him as that dude I see on TMZ occasionally, and from his one episode T.V. show I saw at a friends house a few years back (I saw it at a house that had this mysterious thing called "Cable T.V." or maybe it was "Satellite". I don't know about you, but if it doesn't magically fly through the air and arrive at my house for free, I don't need it. And if, perhaps, I did need it I would borrow it from one of my "friends" via bit torrent.) Almost every time I see him on T.V. he make me laugh. I hope he makes you laugh too.

In conclusion, John Mayer = mancrush.

Free Boy George!



Boy George is now in jail because he "had chained male escort Audun Carlsen to a wall at his apartment in London's hip Shoreditch neighborhood. Carlsen had also said the singer beat him with a metal chain."

C'mon, since when is it illegal to chain up a prostitute? Isn't that part of the package deal? Give the man a break. Tomorrow when Obama starts his presidency his first order of business should be to pardon Boy George.

Wait, hold on a minute. My fact checker is trying to get my attention.

Well, apparently England is a "sovereign" nation and we have no "jurisdiction" over them. Since when? Gordon Brown better watch his back. I'm just sayin'.

thePrisoner is NOT The Prisoner



Do yourself a favor. Click here and spend some time with The Prisoner.

As a way to gear up for their upcoming mini-series, AMC is showing (on their website) every episode of the original (and awesome) show.

Seriously, this show blew my mind the first time I saw it, which was many years ago. Shows like The Simpsons and Battlestar Galactica (the new one) and many others take some kind of reference or inspiration from the show.

The way I see it, you're already at work, you're bored, you already watched that YouTube Video that someone emailed you (and it wasn't THAT hilarious).

Go ahead, treat yourself.
