Friday is No Pants Day

Friday is No Pants Day 2002.



Observe appropriately. Appropriately, of course, meaning without pants.

All sorts of people are

All sorts of people are coming here looking for "Anna Kournikova Penthouse" pictures (from Google, Yahoo!, and other places). You want them?

You got them.

Yes, those are really the pictures. No, I don't think they look like her either. Don't say I never did anything for you. Leave me a note to thank me.

Simply amazing!!

David Eckstein (above) hit his second lifetime grandslam the day after his first - and gave the Anaheim Angels an 8-5, five hour long 14th inning win over the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Angels have now won four in a row.

Go Angels!!

From ABC News: Tossing the

From ABC News: Tossing the Death Penalty? Federal Judge Says Too Many Innocent People Are Convicted.

I'm very much against the death penalty. I don't see the logic in "an eye for an eye" style of justice, especially by the government. Sure, murders are scum. Sure, put them away for life if you can't rehabilitate them. But killing them is forever - and with so many death penalty cases being turned over, I think it's inexcusable for us, as a nation, to allow/encourage/engage in state sponsored execution.

Past that, I just think it's wrong. You don't kill people to show them/others that killing people is wrong. You don't take lives to prove points or administer punishment. I think it's sick that we still kill people (guilty or not) to punish them.

I'm in the small population

I'm in the small population of the public who actually enjoys watching professional golf on television. I might have to start watching the LPGA as well...

Golf Rules!

Oh, in case you're wonder,

Oh, in case you're wonder, it's called "What Are We Gonna Do" and it's by Dramarama. The first line reads "It's April 21st, and everybody knows today is Earth Day. Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday to whoever's being born".

Happy Earth Day.

Who are you? What are

Who are you? What are you looking for? Leave a note. Really.

No, really. Please. Either that or email me. Thanks.

Good morning and happy Monday

Good morning and happy Monday to all of you.

I want to thank everyone who found their way to the First Annual Michael Doss Birthday Extravaganza and Charity Dinner, held last Saturday. I believe a good time was had by all. We received a good deal of donations (I haven't tabulated yet), but there's still time to donate. Check out the party page for more details.

Sorry for the lack of updates here...been busy, what with month long birthday celebrations. The events conclude this coming weekend with a trip to an adult entertainment establishment. I'm not saying my friends owe me or anything, but I did take Marek, Chris and Gary to adult entertainment establishments for THEIR birthdays.

I like boobies.

OH MY GOD! Good God

OH MY GOD!

Good God damn, what happened to David Lee Roth?

That's the scariest fuckin' picture I've seen in a long time.

I am no expert on genetics, but I suspect we are only one generation away from East Asian hipsters having kids who are born with their bangs already bleached.

That made me laugh.

Student strips down to protest preaching.

I've never liked the concept of street preaching. Too often they have children with them, or they're handing out candy to attract visitors. Bad stuff. I need to start doing counter protests near my home - we have a guy locally who drags a "life size" cross around the beachfront downtown area, and hands out Jack Chick tracts. Yikes.

Oh, and sorry about the male ass.

From the Coca-Cola website: Mr.

From the Coca-Cola website:

Mr. Pibb was launched in Texas and quickly expanded through much of the U.S. Mr. Pibb appeals to 12-to-15 year olds who are just gaining independence from home and looking for things to call their own. Mr. Pibb enables them to have an uninhibited, fun and unconventional attitude because it has the sweet, refreshing bold taste they need to express their independence.

No one really believes that, do they?

A while ago I posted

A while ago I posted a story about how "virtual" child porn was illegal. This was disturbing to me because there was no victim - sure, it's not in the best of tastes, but people could get 15 years in prison for photoshopping. Finally, the Supreme Court has ruled that creating and possessing virtual child porn is not illegal, for first amendment reasons. Very nice.

I'm a 134 league bowler.

I'm a 134 league bowler. I love bowling, have since I took it up about 8 years ago. I took a 4 year break during college, and just got back into a league at the end of last year. I tend to bowl around my average, usually having 2 good games and a poorer one. Tonight was that in the extreme: I bowled a 198, 126, and 214. The 214 is my highest scratch game ever (+80 over average). Damn. Notes:

- My old league HSG (High Scratch Game) was 185. My new HSG is 214 (+29).
- My old league HSS (High Scratch Series) was 449. My new HSS is 538 (+89).
- My old league HHG (High Handicap Game) was 245. My new HHG is 273 (+28).
- My old league HHS (High Handicap Series) was 636. My new HHS is 715 (+79).
- I had a strike going into the 10th in game 3. If I would have struck out (I ended up X9-), I would have been 101 pins over average, and got a watch from the league.
- In both my first and third games, I only left one frame open, and it was a split in both games.

Good thing I'm taking next Tuesday off (as it's my birthday), it'd be tough to beat that.

Happy Tuesday. Some thoughts:

Hello again. Blah. Getting over

Hello again.

Blah. Getting over a cold which pretty much shot my weekend and caused my first sick day in nearly a year (I was out of the office Friday). I did begin the Michael Doss Birthday Extratravaganza Festivities with my "family" birthday party on Sunday, fun as usual. Sometime this weekend, hopefully, will be the casino trip, then next Tuesday is the Day of Birth, then the Saturday after that is the Charity Dinner (email me for more details), concluding the festivities. If I know you, and you're interested in participating, contact me.

Neat! You'll be able to

Neat! You'll be able to see EVERY planet in our solar system at the end of April/beginning of May. From Space News:

For a period of a little more than three weeks, anyone looking west at sunset will be able to see the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter. A few hours later at 4 A.M., armed with a large-size amateur telescope, they can continue their grand tour by observing Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, a few wandering asteroids and maybe even Comet Ikeya-Zhang in the east. Finally, by quickly glancing down at the ground, they will have completed their grand tour of the solar system.

Also, an interesting comparison I've always wanted documented somewhere I can find it:

Imagine if we stood in the produce section of a grocery store and held up a big yellow grapefruit representing the Sun. The planet Mercury would be the size of a small grain of salt orbiting around it 18 feet away. Venus would be somewhat larger, like a grain of sugar you get in those little brown packets at the coffee shops, 34 feet away. Earth, also a grain of sugar, would be located 50 feet away. Mars also would be the size of a grain of salt 75 feet away.

As for the rest of the planets: Jupiter, a cherry-sized tomato, would be found at 240 feet; Saturn, the size of a green grape, at 420 feet; Uranus, a frozen green pea, at 300 yards; Neptune, also the size of a frozen pea, at 470 yards; and Pluto, represented by a speck of dust, would orbit our grapefruit-sized Sun at a distance of 475-600 yards.

Brings to mind Monty Python and the Animaniacs...

People are dumb. First off,

People are dumb. First off, they freak out about dihydrogen monoxide in the water supply, then they call the DJs who presented the April Fools joke as "terrorists".

Dumbasses.
