boring old technical difficulties

Badclone

I have been gifted with a lovely used server which should, hopefully, spare me in future from this ridiculous experience of having the internet squeezed through a tube of toothpaste onto my desktop (please, a blog post should not take five to seven minutes to open. Three-minute Youtubes should not take a half hour to load) but in the meantime it’s all I can do to get my paid posts up  and even then the bloody Cable cut out in the middle of one of them. Off to use the public computers tomorrow…

I have also been gifted with a lovely MP3 player…for which my computer refuses the drivers. Luv-lee.

Operation Global Media Domination: The Viggo’s Lovelife Situation

Viggo, yo!

2.0. For 1.0, see here.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I have done it. I have broken CNN. As of two days ago, when you use the CNN Search the Web function for the scholarly term “Viggo Women Friends” my blog is the #1 search result.

And for damn good reason. Yew betcha.

Now, if someone could only tip him off… he’s about three years late and his mate is getting cold… did I say “mate?” Why, I meant “yerba mate” of course!

Dumb Comment o’ the Day

Not on this site. Goodness me, no: we’ve hardly had one single stupid commenter around since The War of the Albanian Burger Joint Reviewer thang. I mean, give or take, right?

No, this was in that Hall of Fame of Hallowed Commenter Idiocy, YouTube. Check it out for yourself:

What child watches Nat Geo? I did occasionally as a child, but this was not the tone they took, and kids these days shouldn’t be at alevel of literacy so low that this is what to expect. I come from Britain, and we were once the best child readers in the world, now we have dropped to 14th. We were once the top education country in europe, now we are at the bottom, and this is just exhasberating the situation.

Goodness, we wouldn’t want to exhasberate the situation! Reading children is hard enough, especially if they’ve been practicing their poker faces. Sad news it is that literacy standards in Britain have fallen since the intrepid and apparently entirely self-awareness-free kyletjackson attended what s/he would no doubt refer to as “shcool,” but alas, there you have it. But what that fact has to do with understanding a narrated video entirely free of text I have no idea. Perhaps the commenter blames National Geographic undersea specials for the slide? Or then again, perhaps s/he simply meant “vokabewlary?

A D&D player inside joke.

Bush Administration D&D Game

stolen from Adaen of High Adventure Games, because he stole this from me. This is how you got into Iraq in the first place, people.

The Blog Song

Do you think he wants us to check his blog? Proof positive that bloggers, no matter what their skin tone, cannot dance worth beans.

The only thing that could make this better is if he were wearing a short-sleeved shirt with that polyester tie. I wonder if that’s his real face or if those are Groucho glasses? I’ve always been partial to the MadV look, myself.

Only with tentacles.
