A little bit weird, a little bit political with a lot of humor.

I knew I have occasionally been a snob in the past... it was something I was more than willing to admit to, and I accepted blame for.... and then someone sent me this quiz... what kind of elitist are you..... and well, I took it and I regret it now... because now I have to deal with those tendencies all over again. Anyway, here's how it turned out for me. You speak eloquently and have seemingly read every book ever published. You are a fountain of endless (sometimes useless) knowledge, ...

Once upon a time SpikeTV filmed a short-run reality series.... one which did not make it to their fall schedule... and was thought to have been lost to vagaries of cable-tv scheduing.... and then its celebrity star passed away under strange circumstances... wonder what will become of that series now... hmmm... why do I suddenly hear the sound of a cash registers? Ok, basically, here is the skinny on this series that SpikeTV created: a contestant had to stay within 10 feet of ODB over a ser...

As everyone knows.... I am an evil genius , and I am a James Bond fan, so naturally, I would want to find out if I was a Bond Villain, who would I be.... so I found a little test to discover who I'd be... and let's just say, I wasn't surprised.... Auric Goldfinger Which James Bond Villain Are You!? brought to you by Quizilla I am the dude who got to counter Connery's "Do you expect me to talk?" with "No, Mr. Bond -- I expect you to die!" and gets a Shirley Basse...

Well, I've developed a fever, chills, a sore throat, a head and body aches and a dry cough..... so I think I can safely assume that I have fallen prey to influenza for this year... and darn early too. It hit me REALLY fast... I mean, I felt a bit fatigued and achy yesterday, and then I woke up with a sore throat and slowly got the fever throughout the day.... culminating in a violent fit of chills until I dressed myself for like an arctic winter. My advice to everyone is if you can still ...

How about having your computer meltdown(I melted a chip) after the last thing you watched on the internet was Strong Bad's computer being destroyed ? Everyone has to have been stomped by Irony at one time or another... so what is your most recent ironic moment?

Sorry I haven't been around... my computer had a lil ole breakdown yesterday, and I don't know when it is going to be fixed(because I don't know what's wrong with it specifically). I am currently at the library, but my time is rather limited at the moment... I will try to keep up, but I know I am missing a lot of stuff, and I don't want anyone to think I have foresaken their work or anything.

Ol' Dirty Bastard AKA Dirt McGirt AKA Big Baby Jesus AKA Russell Jones, his real name died on Saturday after complaining of chest pains while at a studio in NY. He had recently gotten out of prison, and he was at work on his new album, a project he had been working on for a year. Personally, I loved "Baby I got your money," and I was sort of surprised to see that he had died, because he was keeping sort of a low profile as of late. I know he had problems, and he was... sort of erratic, bu...

I am glad to report that from what I could see, Issaquah, Washington-based Modest Mouse performed live on SNL, becoming the first musical guest since October 23rd(at least), to perform without the aid of a backing track or a (under)lying vocal line. In support of their most recent album, Good News for People Who Love Bad News ,(very fitting I must say), the band played two live tracks, and were surprisingly decent on a stage that is notorious for its less than stellar acoustics. Brav...

I was just checking my friendster profile, and I noticed that the last article that was picked up was the one about the overlooked videos on the 10th... or 4 articles ago. I asked my friend to look at their bloglines to see if they received the new articles through the RSS feed, and they only saw up to the videos entry. She then ran it through an RSS Validator, and its coming up valid, so I don't know what is going on? I then checked some other prolific bloggers, and they too don't have an...

Michael Moore has confirmed he is working on a sequel to F 9/11 called F 9/11 1/2 with the backing of Harvey Weinstein which will be ready in 2-3 years, which is going to be largely the same targets as the original film. Moore's rationale, in his own words: We want to get cameras rolling now and have it ready in two, three years. We want to document it. Fifty-one per cent of the American people lacked information (in this election) and we want to educate and enlighten them. They weren...

Because of the fear of large fines, almost 1/3 of the United States will not have the choice to watch a film on network television which is much in keeping with the spirit of this day, instead getting a rerun of an interview with Pvt. Jessica Lynch, the movie Coming to America or episodes or the TV movie "Return to Mayberry", and there is nothing that says Veteran's Day more than an Andy Griffith Show reunion! ABC aired Saving Private Ryan uncut in 2001 and 2002 -- both times on Vete...

Well, it should be clear by now where I stand on Scientology .... so the fact that I am posting this quiz should come as no surprise to anyone. Basically, 15 passages are presented and you have to decide if they appeared in the World Weekly News(a very odd tabloid) or are quotes from Scientological documents. Here are the results of your test: Your score: 53.333% You scored 8 out of 15 questions correct. Which is a little disappointing for me, because I should be able to spot...
