“Caped Teen Kills Two, Then Self in Calif.”
“…Built in 1995, the neighborhood of mostly beige two-story homes was described by residents as a family community where people often socialized.”
jx, can you blame him? people want to sue gun and ammunition manufacturers for producing items which 3rd parties decide to use to kill other folks; when will they go after developers and architects for devising demoralizing, stifling environments which simultaneously foster rage whilst providing no outlet for it? why aren’t parents being sued for sequestering their kids in these fucked up suburban habitats?
~ new gloves are on the way, but for those of you who missed out on this gift from our previously mentioned + wish list, there are still a couple of items available!

‘r.i.p. huntsman: 1997 – 2005’
‘enter fieldmaster: 2005’
~ there ain’t too much grand about leaving behind the quiet of georgia for the wilds of philadelphia, but at least it seems that our fellow pennsylvanians are trying to make us feel at home by demonstrating that they are no less ignorant than our cousins in cobb county:
“A Pennsylvania school district on Wednesday rejected charges that plans to include references to an alternative to Darwin’s theory of evolution in high school biology classes would be illegal.
The Dover Area School District near Harrisburg is the first in the United States to introduce “Intelligent Design,” a theory that the natural world is so complex it must have been made by an intelligent being, rather than occurring by chance, as held by Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution…-reuters
readers should note the framing technique of referring to plain creationism as ‘intelligent design’ – a rebranding of old school religion with a nomenclature that hopes to make it seem more credible by sounding vaguely scientific; the truth is the name hides just as much bullshit as orwellian named ‘defense of marriage act’ or ‘blue skies initiative’.
~ to whom was it that we were ranting that digital cameras should operate on the same level as cellphones or wireless laptops – you take a picture and it is saved to your desktop across town or across the country, instead of on a tiny flash or smart media card? billy in nyc or beth in wdc? regardless, one of you must have sold the idea, because slashdot [w] is now reporting its fruition without me.
~ for those of you who have figured out that the previous post indicates that the angry red planet has left behind us the sultry clime of atlanta, you may be curious as to the whereabouts of our new operations. we have established a tenuous foothold in the city of philadelphia, pennsylvania.
~ Hats off to Maxtor for their design of hard drives which, once dented by Amtrak baggage handlers, are able to have their function restored by Stanley pliers and Victorinox blades. If the USPS is able to deliver the final package, which contains the face plate to our work station, to our new offices, we can start the history of philadelphia project.
~ our year end donation from the meager post baroque [w] earnings, also serving as a holiday gift, have caused some consideration on our part, as our intentions for local support were called into question by the late out pouring of contributions to international humanitarian organizations in the wake of the tsunami attacks. However, new reports such as “…Tons of supplies were backlogged in Indonesia, with thousands of boxes filled with drinking water, crackers, blankets and other basic necessities piled high in an airplane hangar…” coupled with our general bias against the bias towards people, we returned to our original intention of Paws Atlanta.
~ when placing holes in the cup at the bottom of your cat waterer, be sure to make tiny holes. a large one will allow bigger air bubbles that may startle your cat whilst he or she is drinking. if you do not have a dremel available, you can make suitable holes by placing a the point of a utility knife against the cup and rotating it.
~ athletic prowess in the interest of health is admirable; sports are pretty lame when they are competitions dressed in nationalism. ‘sports illustrated‘ is the injection of dope into the veins of the american mind. the ruling class, hampered by technicalities like the bill of rights [w], can’t effectively use the police force to keep everyone quiet, so they rely on sedatives like the olympics and ‘sports illustrated‘ to keep us in our easy chairs. nevertheless, on rare occasions there is a surprise convergence of threads which are usually ignored, leading to a strange, happy occurrence, such as iraqis bitching about george w bush in ‘sports illustrated‘ of all places:
“Ahmed Manajid, who played as a midfielder on Wednesday, had an even stronger response when asked about Bush’s TV advertisement. “How will he meet his god having slaughtered so many men and women?” Manajid told me. “He has committed so many crimes.” –sports illustrated
~ we have reached our final design for the self-replenishing cat’s water bowl. a few prototypes failed:
1. plastic bottle in bowl with ridged bottom. ridges were not deep enough for a usable amount of water to be available to cat; plastic bottle toppled when empty.
2. for stability, cut out bottom of empty cultured-soy cup. hole placed in cup near lip of cup to allow for deeper water. cup placed over mouth of bottle. flaw: air escapes through gaps between cup and bottle. water drains from bottle.
3. second cultured-soy cup cut opened and formed into cone; cone inserted in mouth of bottle, so that bottom of cone is even with lip of supporting cup. flaw: air enters bottle in gap between bottle and cone. water drains from bottle.
4. rubber band placed around cone at mouth of bottle. success.
~ we have linked the bill of rights above for the sake of new york city mayor michael bloomberg, who has the misconception about folks ‘expressing themselves’ being a ‘privilege’ and warns us to be careful: “People who avail themselves of the opportunity to express themselves . . . will not abuse that privilege, because if we start to abuse our privileges, then we lose them, and nobody wants that.”
~ does anyone else find that it is curious to hear laughing whilst listening to the “9/11 Commission Hearings”?
proposal for an overweight america #1:
car manufacturers, stop including console cupholders that are able to be configured for 48oz drinks.
~ as pertaining to our previous post, a first level of cessation, if not completion, of the work on the latest cc has been reached. while some may find the results ‘bizarre’, we have it on good authority that the cage in which the rabble is ensnared shall be dashed nonetheless to splinters against the ramparts of the work. hopefully, we can make known this piece, along with another cooked up this summer, to our loyal viewers soon. however, for now, we must keep mum about our authorship until certain results and permissions have been given. in the meantime, satisfy yourselves with a few images of rejected furniture proposals in the ‘objects and furniture’ section of our ‘portfolio‘.
