Hail To The Friar Ridor!

Your patience paid off. Here it is. Fire away with the humiliating comments, readers.

Take your best shot at me.

The best defense is the killer offense!

WTF?

Am I the only one who thinks this is silly?

Update: They had a countdown with a funny image of ASL saying "Wow" -- turns out that the CSD was announcing something. Screw 'em.

This Is Too Delicious To Pass

Thanks to the American Civil Liberties Union for defending this boy.

Wonder if McCock, TPC, Kurzetard, Republicans, Conservatives and X-ians has to say about this?

They probably will say, "These filthy ACLU has no place in school! The kid should be spanked!"

These same pricks always blamed the ACLU in almost everything else. But the purpose of the ACLU is to uphold the rule of law, whether if you LIKE it or not.

Thanks to Mr. Hell's Kitchen for the information.

Who's Rooting For Baylor Bears?

Category: Sports

Baylor Bears made it! Can you believe this?! A baptist school in Waco, Texas made it to the Final Four! No, I'm not talking about Men's Basketball team -- they are ... pigs.

Coach Kim Mulkey-Robertson did an outstanding job in a short tenure at Baylor, taking Baylor from the bottom of Big 12 Conference into the Nation's Prestigious Final Four in Indianapolis!

Kim Mulkey-Robertson was a 5'3 point guard for Louisiana Tech, I never saw her play but I saw the old tapes. She is fiercely competitive person. When Louisiana Tech's Head Coach Leon Barmore retired, Louisiana Tech wanted Kim Mulkey-Robertson -- but due to some negotiations, Kim went to Baylor.

Last year, her team was robbed by Tennessee Lady Volunteers on bad call with 0.2 second left that enabled UT to hit two free throws to win the game in the Sweet Sixteen appearance.

Now this year, Baylor marched straight to the Final Four and is going to play Louisiana State Tigers. I'm bit torn about it. I want Pokey to win. I want Kim to win. But either of them *must* beat Tennessee in the Finals. It would be sweet to see Baylor playing Tennessee in the National Championship Game and rob Tennessee of its trophy to serve the vengeance for last year's abysmal end.

Virginia Cavaliers had few problems in the past to a point where some players transferred out. Two former UVA players are now in the Final Four -- Chelsea Whitaker, the starting point guard for Baylor Bears and Alisa Wulff for Michigan State. Of course, I'm happy for the players, sad for my team. But Virginia Cavaliers will be back to the national spotlight.

But for now, I'm rooting for Baylor, Michigan State and Louisiana State to win it -- do not allow Tennessee to win at all. I'm so glad that Connecticut bowed out. Next is Tennessee. This weekend should be full of soap opera in Indianapolis.

Gas Up People!

Guestblogger: McFly

WHERE TO BUY YOUR GAS,
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW.


READ ON--

Why didn't George W. think of this?

Gas rationing in the 80's worked even though we grumbled about it.

It might even be good for us!

The Saudis are boycotting American goods.

We should return the favor.

An interesting thought it to boycott their GAS.

Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia. Just buy from gas companies that don't import their oil from the Saudis.

Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to kill me, my family, and my friends.

I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas from and which major companies import Middle Eastern oil:


Shell............................. 205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco.................... 144,332,000 barrels
Exxon /Mobil...................... 130,082,000 barrels
Marathon/Speedway................. 117,740,000 barrels
Amoco.............................. 62,231,000 barrels

If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION!

Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:

Citgo.......................0 barrels
Sunoco......................0 barrels
Conoco......................0 barrels
Sinclair....................0 barrels
BP/Phillips.................0 barrels
Hess........................0 barrels
ARC0........................0 barrels

All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and each is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing.

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers.

It's really simple, though. Spread the words.

Me No No Like Hypocrites, You Know That?

Hypocrisy is much worse than neutrality, in my opinion.

When the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) won the right to ban gays from participating in the scouting activities. Many X-ians and Conservatives defended them. When the legal magazine wrote an article criticizing the BSA of discrimination, Douglas Smith defended the BSA's policy of excluding gays and atheists.

Douglas Smith was the BSA's National Program Director prior to the arrest. Why was he arrested? Soliciting for child pornography. Which worse is it? Excluding gays and atheists? Keeping pedophiles? Apparently, to the BSA, X-ians and Conservatives, better to keep pedophiles in the loop. At least, they can play around.

Bet you a dollar or two that the X-ians, conservatives and the folks at the BSA will scramble around to insist that Douglas fell from the Grace.

When I was 13, I was excited to join the BSA. I joined for few months. Then quitted. I hated it. I thought it was one of the most tackiest things to do. Don't frown on the quitters, my friends. There are advertisements in the subway trains that says, "We love the quitters!"

You know who John McCusker is? He was the 31 years old dude who was denied of funeral at San Diego's Catholic Churches. The autopsy indicated that he died of ... get this ... asphyxiation, heart failure and drug overdose. I wonder where did he die? IN bed? Lots of people said that he is a good man. But asphyxiation and drug overdose indicated something bad -- it was mentioned that he used oxycodone and amphetamines. Sigh.

More and more cases are being reported about HIV 2.0 in New York, Connecticut and California. Thanks a lot, fags. All the more reasons for me not to donate a cent to the organizations. If they want it, go ahead. Get it. I'll stick with the pediatric ones, that is, when I have some money left.

I hate hypocrites. But again, I'm a hypocrite. I am supposed to hate hearies but I still kiss, hug and fuck them occasionally. Oh, well. C'est la vie. Me do do nothing. Know the slogan, "Can't live with them, can't live without them."

Go figure.

A Delay for Friar Ridor

kaybee came to my place last night and her first comments on seeing my hairdo was: "Man, you are Friar Ridor!"

I grimaced. We dined a little, then talked. She took the pictures of my headshot -- tomorrow (Thursday), she will return to my place with USB Cord and show the world of my fucked-up hairdo.

Perlis, kaybee and S already saw it. It is matter of time before everyone else on the planet know it.

Happy, guys?

Maybe a fucked-up hairdo makes me bitter, like someone else said.

P.S. The struggles against the idiots (i.e. Michael Demmons, ND30 et al) made me remember of an entry I wrote last year in March. I found the link. It makes me smile -- I know many Deafies and DowntownLad will chuckle at this -- but it probably will make the hearies frown as Hell.
