Dear Bengals Fans

Tag: UncategorizedJohn @ 11:59 pm

Please stop honking your horns like your team won the freaking Super Bowl. Denver was overrated and couldn’t play comeback football with its run game. Carolina was the toughest test the Broncos have had this season, and we know what a disappointment they are this year after losing to the Patriots last January. So, in conclusion, thank you Bengals for not totally sucking and thereby making the Browns trouncing of you last week look that much better, but please realize that driving around and honking your horns is an inappropriate and idiotic way to show your enthusiasm.

thanks,
John

Zing of the Day!

Don’t you just love it when dj’s play completely irrelevant sound clips from the Simpsons, King of the Hill, etc.? Especially when they play a bunch in a row at the start of their show? Yeah, me neither.

Come on, show a little originality you brain dead tools!

You’ve Gotta Fight… for Your Right… to Cornbread!

Tag: Stuff That Grinds My GearsJohn @ 1:34 pm

Not sure I’m giving our message a louder voice by posting it here, but perhaps this will get passed on to fellow Quiznos lovers going through cornbread withdrawal and give them hope. Some may say that there are more important things to get excited about, like this “election” people keep yammering about. To them I say this: there are people whose only bright spot in their miserable lives is a cup of Quiznos chili and delicious cornbread. Other people are spoiled with their three or four kinds of cambell’s chunky chili, but not people like Tone here:

All,
It was brought to the world’s attention on Sunday that the Quiznos corporation has discontinued the sales of their wholesome cornbread nuggets that come with any regular purchase of their delicious soups. For those of you familiar to the scrumptious mouth-watering taste of these yummy cornbread chunks, I ask to you fight with me. Let us join forces to take back the day and get that cornbread back in the store, and into our colon where it belongs!

Quiznos HQ can be reached at: 1-866-4-TOASTED
(1-866-486-2783)

An average Joe, just like you who has a fever…. And the only prescription is cornbread.
~Tony

In closing, Quiznos used to be cool. Now they’re taking away our cornbread. Call 1-866-4-TOASTED and demand that cornbread flow freely once more!

Japanese + Microphone = Karaoke

Tag: Amusing Links, Video G4m3zJohn @ 11:08 pm

I guess the new mario party comes with a microphone. The article linked doesn’t say anything about a karaoke mini-game, but I see a Japanese game coming with a microphone. It practically screams karaoke and I’m staying the hell away from it until the heterosexuality* of the game is proven definitively. :-P

Edit: This post is based on an offhand comment I made about a karaoke mini-game when I heard about the bundled microphone. Jim told me there wasn’t any evidence of such a thing, but I insisted there would be such a mini game just to piss him off. It worked, and it has snowballed to this level. :D

“Personal Attacks != Debate.” vs. “What a Loser”

Tag: Stuff That Grinds My GearsJohn @ 3:46 pm

This quote from the fark forums sums up most of what I’ve read about Jon vs. Crossfire Douchebags 2k4:

People who Understood it: The points he brought up were good. The “Jerry Springer” politics shows have contributed to this rabid polarization that leaves intelligent discussion in the periphery.

People who Didn’t Understand it: I assert that Jon Stewart is an asshat. The reasons for this are a) He hides behind being a comedian, b) he doesn’t make up his own stuff, and c) he’s an asshat. Oh, and also, he’s an asshat.

People who Understood it: Wait, see, that’s what we’re talking about. Ad hominem attacks to refute something that really ought to bear deeper discussion.

People who Didn’t Understand it: No, because he hid behind being a commedian. And he’s an asshat. And he looked stoned. And he called Carlson a dick! He’s an asshat! And besides, his points are not valid because he’s just a commedian.

People who Did Understand it: A commedian can also be honest and intelligent. In this case, he was speaking to them as a thinking person who watched their show.

People who Didn’t Understand it: But if he’s intelligent, why did he lick Kerry’s ass so much? He licked Kerry’s ass. He’s an asshat! He has no business trying to be intelligent!

People who Understood it: Look, this is what the whole discussion was about. Rendering any argument into angry rhetoric that leaves no room for discussion!

People who Didn’t Understand it: I don’t care! He’s an asshat! Aaron Burr tells us that truth is that which is boldly asserted and plausibly maintained, so the longer and louder I shout this, the more true it is. HE IS AN ASSHAT, HE LOST.

People who Did Understand it: Umm…

People who Didn’t Understand it: ASSHAT. LOST. ASSHAT. LOST.

People who Did Understand it: Oh, nevermind. I’m outta here.

People who Didn’t Understand it: ASSHAT. LOST. ASSHAT. LOST. Hey! I’m the last one asserting and maintaining! I win, and my assertion is now truth!

Live in Primetime with Wordpress

Tag: GeneralJohn @ 9:08 pm

Alright, I’ve done my php magic and tweaked the css. Looks decent enough for the main page. I still have more I’d like to do, i.e. site logo and breaking away from all black, but it’s good and I should be able to tweak stuff a bit still behind the curtain, so to speak.

I hope nothing breaks… :/

You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness.
