If you don't get this, read a book once in a freaking while.
Or listen to one.

No, it's not lazy.

Cutting Random Bits Of Sound Out Of The Theatrical Release Of Your Film To Fight Piracy Is For Chumps!

What the f*ck Paramount? I paid somewhere between $8.50 and $11 to see your mediocre movie. Don't punish me further for someone else's mistake. Why would you want to degrade my already taxing movie going experience? If I'm going to be forced to see a sub par version of the film I might as well wait and buy it from some guy selling burned copies out of the trunk of his Dodge Stratus or to download it from the intranet pirates you are so desperately trying to stop.

Being Dragged By Your Significant Other To See the "Sex In The City" Movie Without The Promise of "Special" Sexual Favors Is For Chumps!

If you couldn't come up with some excuse to NOT see the Sex In The City movie this weekend, you my friend are a super chump! You deserve whatever hellish nightmares now run through your head after sitting through 145 minutes of pure drivel. Just think of all the better things you could have done during that 2 hrs and 25 minutes:

(Sorry for another blatant plug. But, we have to spread the word to fight Chumpness world wide.)

Don't be a chump! Read ForChumps.com.

SKUNKWORKS: The Smart Reviews is (are) GO!!!!

Not satisfied with pontificating on all points minute and ephemeral, some of your favorite bloggers to The Smart Patrol have started a second blog dedicated to the pursuit of filthy lucre.

The Smart Reviews is just that, smart (as in informed, smart alecky, and smart assed) reviews of all the things that we use, are exposed to or have anything more than a passing interest in reviewing.

Like music... We love telling other people that the crap on their iPods is crap.

Like gadgets... We are not married, don't have kids or drug habits, so where do you think all the money goes?

There are a lot of sites out there that have tech or music or movie reviews, but only one site dares to call itself The Smart Reviews... mostly because we got the domain name before someone else did.

Please check us out, we're reviewing stuff all the time so you don't have to.
Also we're gonna give stuff away, but that's a secret.
And we have a twitter feed (if you don't know what that is, don't worry you don't need it)

At The Smart Reviews we don't let the fact that we have no idea what we're talking about stop us from having a strong opinion about it. Check it out and tell your friends.

Straight From The Hip: Me or Al Qaeda, you can't have both.

BOSTON (AP) -- Dunkin' Donuts has pulled an online advertisement featuring Rachael Ray after complaints that a fringed black-and-white scarf that the celebrity chef wore in the ad offers symbolic support for Muslim extremism and terrorism.

The coffee and baked goods chain said the ad that began appearing online May 7 was pulled over the past weekend because "the possibility of misperception detracted from its original intention to promote our iced coffee."

In the spot, Ray holds an iced coffee while standing in front of trees with pink blossoms.

"Listen Up America, this one comes straight from the hip!"
I've had it up to here with these so-called celebrities flaunting some kind of double standard in the face of good and decent people like you and me. You can call me a square, or a squid, hey, I've been called out-of-touch, I've been called troubled, I've been called delusional, and it doesn't bother me because I know what I know.

Rachel Ray, if you've thrown your hat in with these Al Qaedas and their ilk, when then you have officially lost this guy as a proud card-carrying member of your fan club. Now some folks might think it's a little extreme, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Rachel, I hope that you come to your senses soon, I can understand that these Al Qaedas might seem fun and glamoury, heaven knows that I have felt the allure of tinsely-town and its 'A-listers' so believe me, I know what you are going through. But Rachel, this is no way to be popular, this is no way to get back at your parents or get yourself a little attention.

I'm reminded of something that came from my dear old mother, a constant source of wisdom and advice in my life. The details are cloudy, but when I use my mind's eye I can still see her put down her wine glass beside that oversized ashtray, and using the half burned filter-less Pall Mall, (her brand at the time) for dramatic punctuation, she aimed her good eye (left) on me and said "Ernie, those people are not your friends".

Now, I don't know exactly why she called me Ernie, I assume because it was already after nine at night, but the sentiment is still valid.

Rachel Ray, those people are not your friends. We love you sweetie, we need you here with us.

I'm thePrisoner, and this one comes straight from the hip!

Fries: You Have No Power Over Me!!

As Summer descends upon us (yes, it's fricking hot) Mr. Kamikaze and I look at our tubby bellies and decide that we really need to do a little something that we hope will miraculously make Mr. Tummy take a hitch-hike to Gonesville.
Wanna make a FAST Hundred bucks? Here's all you gotta do. If you catch Mr. Kamikaze or ThePrisoner eating a FRIED POTATO PRODUCT, ie. French Fries, Hash Browns, Home Fries, etc. and tag them (maybe even a photo) then you win, we're busted and everyone will know that we have zero will power and are suckers for the spuds.
To be clear, we aren't haters for the taters, mashed, boiled, baked, toasted, curried, or raw are still ok. Fried is right off the table and out of the question.
Now the small print.

ONLY THE FIRST PERSON TO CATCH US WINS THE HUNDY - CHANCES ARE IF ONE OF US LOSES THEN WE'LL BOTH GO ON A MAD BINGE OF AMERICAS GREATEST FRENCH FRIES - ALSO DON'T SLIP A FRY INTO OUR FOOD AND TRICK US INTO EATING ONE - SAME GOES WITH RUFIES - DON'T GO DOSING US JUST FOR SHITS AND GIGGLES, THOUGH I ADMIT IT WOULD BE RETARDED FUNNY IF I WAS TRIPPING BALLS AT DENNY'S BECAUSE YOU DROPPED A COUPLE OF TABS IN MY MASHED TATERS. BUT DON'T BECAUSE IF THE TRIP GOES BAD I COULD LOSE MY SHIT AND BE A FREAK LIKE THE DUDE FROM PINK FLOYD WHO DID A LOT OF ACID AND THEN DISAPPEARED FOR LIKE 20 YEARS.

All of your cheese-making dreams can finally be realized.

This book was "given" to me by an anonymous friend.

I know that this is a big no-no here, but I couldn't resist.



If anyone wishes to be "given" a copy of this book, I will post the link in the comments.

But I must first be "given" approval by Mr.DNA.

Cheese Friday™ : NACHOS!!!

Mmmm. Stadium Nachos.
