Steel White Table

I saw this commercial tonight and it made it laugh. I hate promoting companies that already make too much money, but some of their ads are well done. Just ignore what they’re advertising; it’s irrelevant anyway.
I watch too much TV when I work out of town.

Project Asteroid:
This project started when my sister asked me nicely if I could build her a new computer… Since I didn’t want to be blamed for being too nice I decided to make her a case in the shape of a dirty snowball, also known as an asteroid.

Strip and rip!
Having the hair removed from your balls with hot wax is an increasingly popular male fashion trend. But it’s not for the faint of heart…
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! why, Why, WHY!? I like ALL my hair just the way it is. This is idiotic.

I recently noticed that Yellowpad linked to my site. He posts a drawing on his site occasionally. Nothing fancy - just a drawing he did by hand, or an image he created using Photoshop and other tools (which he states underneath each image). There are not many posted as he only started [...]

Time to face my past, goddamn it:

I once owned a Shaun Cassidy record. (Da Do Run Run Run, Da Do Run Run. May that jingle haunt you for days.)
I used to dance to disco, even winning awards for my grovin’ moves.
The first record I remember buying was a 45 single: Lipps Inc’s Funky Town. [...]

Anyone who enjoys cooking should have a cast-iron frying pan. Why? Hell, why not?

They have a non-stick surface if you season them correctly (i.e. coat with peanut or other vegetable oil that has high burning tolerance, bake in oven at 350 degrees for an hour. You only need to do this once [...]

You Know You’re From… When…:
For Alaska (with Esther and Jim in mind):

“Vacation” means driving to Chitna to dip net.
You measure distance in hours.
Down south to you means Anchorage.
You know several people who have hit a moose.
Your school classes aren’t cancelled because of cold.

For Canada:

You’re not offended by the term, “Homo Milk.”
You understand the phrase, [...]

Me, I can’t usually eat ‘em ’cause my girlfriend’s a vegetarian, which more or less makes me a vegetarian; but I sure love the taste of a good burger.

My wife’s a vegetarian, so I’m in the same boat as Jules. As a result, we’re limited to restaurants that serve meatless dishes, [...]

how reading The Catcher in the Rye can be hazardous to your vocabulary, a goddam funny post about book clubs and Holden’s influence:
the next [book club] meeting is at my house. and it will be my turn to pick a goddam book. and i have no idea what the hell to pick. does anyone have [...]

Radio advertisements tend to have disclaimers at the end of them, where the announcer spews a book size run of words so fast it’s impossible to understand the content, like the small “print” in car advertisements in newspapers and magazines. It’s ridiculous.
Stairs in office buildings have parabolic mirrors on the bottom floor, so people [...]

The Couch - I make near death look fun, featuring an exciting 50 MB video of a bicycle courier’s view while racing through the streets of New York City.
I used to bike 20 miles a day to university during the winter, slamming into trees and buildings after slipping on black ice. Fun stuff.

Doctors Grow New Jaw Bone in Man’s Back:

The ONLY thing I like about working in Detroit is being able to listen to Whole Wheat Radio often, sitting in my hotel room here, laughing at Jim’s indifferent irreverence to everything including himself, discovering great independent music.
I started Steel White Table back in February of this year in a similar hotel room in Detroit, [...]
