Gather ’round, little childrens… because it’s…

True Story Time!

I work in a cubicle. It’s my fortress of solitude, my sacred place, the one location at work where I can be alone and do what needs to be done.

Yesterday, what I needed to do was release some flatulence.

So I did.

About 30 seconds later, some guy who I’ve only seen a few times in my last year and a half comes walking to my cube and says…

• “Man… do you smell that?”.
• “Um… no”, I reply.
• “Dude… I could smell it from down the hall.. it’s everywhere!”
• “Um… I don’t smell anything”
• “Are you sure? It smells good!”
• “Wha…?”
• “It smells like strawberries”
• “!”

It turns out that Robyn had some potpourri going about 4 cubes away (and yes, it was strawberry). Either it was pure coincidence, or her cube was downwind of me and she felt the need to “freshen up” the atmosphere.

It’s all about name recognition, baby!

I’ve been thinking… if I was going to form a band, I would need a really snappy name that people would remember. While a great number of very cool band names are still untaken (“schizophrenic shishkabob” is a great possible name!), why create a new name when you can leech off of what’s already out there.

Use other bands names, and use their name recognition! That’s my motto!

Thus comes the ultimate name for a band:
Rage Against the Nine Inch Korn Hole

Now that has selling power, baby!

This little gem was done up back when the website was called “Bioland” and was hosted on a subdomain over at freshmeat.org (sadly, the owner forgot to renew the domain and some fuckwad in Korea snatched. It’s for sale, if you can pay him what he wants, which is too fucking much.).

The Official “BioLand” Quake 2 skin

Download it here

It’s the official “BioLand” skin for Quake II! Simply unzip this file into the
baseq2\players\bioland directory of your Quake II directory, go into Multi-Player setup, and select it.

I’ve included two base skins (different outfits) plus the red and blue skins for a rousing round of CTF. Each contain my face (before I shaved off the goate) and have a whole slew of new sounds (done in my voice). Think of the envy your friends will feel when they know that they’ve been fragged by a true “BioLand” fan.

This skin is based on the “SuperMale” skin by Paolo.

Bioland.freshmeat.org was the second site I ran, and it’s content spilled over to wwbd when I finally purchased the domain. In case you missed the old logo, here it is:

This week is retro week at wwbd!

That means I’m fresh outa ideas and plan to rehash the old crap from yesteryear back on you. This serves two purposes:

1. I don’t have to think for a week
2. I can finally get rid of the old legacy crap

We start with the the nutritional content of the website itself:

As you know, I’ve been cooped up in the house for a while, but all of that is about to change: I’m now healed enough to venture forward into the world.

I drove to the store last night to pick up a few items for dinner (we had baccon tacos). I also picked up a copy of The Incredibles on DVD. After making dinner, we popped in the first disk and watched the movie. Wow! Just wow! If you haven’t seen this film yet, buy it or rent it today! Pixar rocks when it comes to this kind of thing, and The Incredibles was just fantastic!

Today’s plan: haircut!

I’m going to put my fat butt in the car and take myself and both my sons out for a trim of the noggin. Normally I style my hair in half ceasar, half spike kinda thing, but it’s gotten so long that I have to part it on the side and do the whole ultra conservative thing. That’s so not me.

Sure, the thought of getting a haircut may not be exciting to you, but then again, you’ve probobly not been under “house arrest” due to surgery. My days have been filled with the thrill of watching flies mate on the ceiling.

I have a meeting with my surgeon next month. We’ll discuss when I can ride my motorcycle again at that time. I’m hopful that I won’t miss this season (I rode a total of 4 times last year).
