The Most Stupid Thing I Have Ever Seen

There is a DIRECT TV ad that pops up on my Yahoo mail right over where you click for the new messages. You cannot close the ad. You can click on it, but you can't change it, move it. And it keeps you from accessing your email. I was thinking about when I would finally stop using this crappy yahoo mail, and this is it!

Maybe it's some kind of prank played by someone, a hacker, but it's been there all day. I would think that yahoo would get rid of it by now. And if it's that easy to hack into their website, then who is reading my email. Not that it's that interesting. Airfrance at yahoo, password, concorde. You can check it out for yourself!

But anyway-- well, I was not going to give any money to Direct TV anyway. And maybe it's not their fault. It's someone's fault. It's idiotic.

Movie Review: Science Friction

Not only is this movie OK to see ahead of time, the best way to experience it is to sit naked at room temperature with your feet up on the back of the seat in front of you. There are mysterious deaths, Buffalo, Kansas, and lots and lots of deja vu. Honesty is the best policy, except when being nonconfrontational seems more or less specific. It is generally spicy and zesty, but not uncomfortable. Don't get yourself arrested! Ride home on the back of a fire engine. Lie to your boss. Dump all your trash in the street, the way college students do. Get on the warpath in your Pinto, and remember: weekend availability is all-important!

4 stars (out of one hundred) (that was a joke) NO STARS.

Wait until this one comes out on DVD, then ignore it!

Review of the Contents of My Post Office Box Today

I hadn’t checked my P.O. box for a few days, and I expected it to be overflowing, but there was just ONE THING: a recipe for "Crawford's Swedish Gingersnap Cookies" --on a postcard --from WMSE’s Tom Crawford, no doubt.

This is essentially a cookie recipe. I guess I could go on and on here about how much I hate cookies, and how much I hate the WORD cookie, and how I think that the idea and concept of the COOKIE is pretty much taking over our world, ruining our way of life, and is pretty much, when you come down to it, I feel, the symbol of the end of all civilization.

This particular recipe, however, is interesting because of the ingredient "3/4 cup bacon fat"-- listed as the first ingredient! I think that this recipe is all about using BACON FAT in the place of lard, vegetable shortening, or butter. This is really kind of exciting to me. I think, even, if it wasn't for the inclusion of "The Evil Grain," I would be at home right now whipping up a batch or these fuckers.
