Posted by: adampsyche on January 15, 2003 07:59 AMDid anyone ever see the movie that What's Happening was based on. I caught it on cable, it was actually really fuckin' funny. Although, there was no Rerun in it. Killer soundtrack too.
Posted by: jonmc on January 15, 2003 08:33 AMOk, so maybe it wasn't that dramatic. But it does make innumerable babies cry.
That's for sure.

(The blog, on the other hand, is bonsai-perfect. Nice non-use of flash, and I've never seen animated gifs used so perfectly. Kudos to your designer!)
Posted by: Chico on January 15, 2003 09:13 AMdong, is this like one of those brain-teaser posters all the stoners had in college--the ones that just look like fractals or something but everyone's all like Just look at it, man. It's a kangaroo! but I still can't see it?
you mean the "Magic Eye" books?
Back in my bookstore days those things sold like hotcakes, and no I could never see 'em either and I have better than 20/20 vision. I almost made myself crosseyed trying.
But then again I couldn't tie my shoes till I was seven. They sent me to a special class. Really.
Posted by: jonmc on January 15, 2003 09:41 AMYes. The magic eye books. I always thought everyone was putting me on.
But anyhow, where the blog at, son?
Posted by: cowboy_sally on January 15, 2003 10:02 AMI love those posters. And it's not about how good your vision is, it's about tuning in, turning on and dropping out, man!
Seriously, if you try to see the pteradactyl, you won't.
Posted by: witchstone on January 15, 2003 10:10 AMfrom the book of Revelations, Chapter 6, verses 22-27...
[22] And lo, there was unto the Chimpanzees, and the Orang-utans, the great Gorrillas and unto all the simians of the earth, including the hairless Sons of Solomon, cometh a great Reckoning, whereby all would be judged and likely found both wanting and more or less inebriated. [23] The thus was the Reckoning portended: that first, a Champion among the apes, a King thereof, would be lost to them, and none might find him tho, sending minions far and wide through territories, map'd and not, the Earth entire they hath scoured. [24] Numerous are the lamentations for the Lost King! The rabble's din reacheth even unto Heaven's ear, but of the King no sign was found. [25] And thus the Crown of Apes would pass to Another, a King would would pusheth his ministers away, and speak not unto the Apes nor calm the din nor grieve for the King Now Gone. [26] And as this new King riseth in power and prestige, so also will the Lords of Apes suffer. The Sky filleth with cinders and very, very small rocks, and the seas will acquire a strange warmth and amber tinge. Undergarments will rise upon their own Accord and coil betwixt cheeks yet unturned, and the maids from whom the water of life flows willl declare "Last!" far earlier than before. [27] Thus will you know the Reckoning is upon you! Drop thy pantaloons, bend thee, and kisseth thy finest aspect farewell!
*gulp*

Now, go chase yerself ya doggone palooka...
Posted by: jonmc on January 15, 2003 11:31 AMIt's true. I've trained myself to say "drat" or "phooey" when something particularly bad happens.
Scores a laugh regularly.
So jon, you mean to tell me, then, that that is Victoria's Real Secret? That she likes to wear Underoos?

Posted by: kafkaesque on January 15, 2003 11:51 AMGawdammit, kaf, I was going to use that velvets quote. How about:
Dong says we gotta go, gotta go to Idaho
But we can't go surfin' cuz it's twenty below
dong says ...and with dust in throat I crave
only knowledge will I save
to the game you stay a slave
rover wanderer
nomad vagabond
call me what you will...
dong says..
So I moved into the city to improve my chances
I chased them at the bars and I grabbed them at the dances
They'd huggy snuggle kissy but they'd never go all the way
They'd cringe like in terror when they hear me say
"Baby baby help, you really really must
I need a healthy outlet
For my teenage lust!"
His site is much better. Mine doesn't have cool music.
Posted by: dong_resin on January 15, 2003 12:20 PMThat reads back sarcastic, but I'm sincere.

Posted by: ufez on January 15, 2003 12:39 PMLinks, Ufez, I crave links. I missed 'em all. And that link to dong's purported site doesn't work. There, knew someone would be stupid enough to point it out.

On the bright side, I update fairly frequently.
Dong, more Ants for the poor, you ardvark of a member. That is all I saw....is there more that I'm not seeing.
Hmmm but better than this last entry by a pita members...
am so fucking sick of people. And all their complete and total bullshit. I think I will seriously hurt the next person to say "OMG, I am so sorry". I don't really believe them; they know nothing. They can't do anything. No one can, really, I guess.

I don't have a cool "blog" but a pathetic little livejournal which has been pretty depressing over the last week or so, so don't go. It won't always be thus. But I will say this: I blame you all for making it seem as though it's okay to inflict myself upon the world.
It's also a good place for me to keep up with Buffy's arch nemesis The First Evil, who has its own livejournal too.

I can't speak for witchstone, but my lack of a blog is because I feel technically inadequate.
I am going to learn, though. It is my 2003 resolution. Ever since I learned how to post photos at 9622, I have just enough knowledge to be dangerous.
I'm meeting Witchy at the airport for a beer in just two hours! I'll just wander the corridors looking for a redhead in bondage gear until security arrests me.

Just kidding. Maybe.

I would like a script of vicodin, please.
I'm flattered by the interest goneill, but it's impermanent, randomly occurring nature is actually the whole point.
I've seen so many great blogs/journals, that a sand mandala-like approach is the only concept that struck me as different.
I'm mostly a night and early morning person. I'll throw text on it pretty frequently. You'll see it or you won't. It'll be amusing or it won't. Whatever. If you miss something, something else will show up. If you catch it, I hope you like it.
Posted by: dong_resin on January 15, 2003 06:43 PMahhhhh, if only. i've considered going into medicine for that very reason, readymade. i'd not settle for vicodin though...
Posted by: goneill on January 15, 2003 06:44 PMWhy not? Is it that I'm here on the couch, fading in and out of consciousness, drooling and babbling incoherently? Doesn't it look like fun?
On second thought, make it a script for common sense.

Anyway, I just got back from my hot date with Witchstone. There is photographic evidence which will follow at a later date. We also have two new taglines, but I'll leave it to her to post those.
For now:
Witchstone to brother who will be picking her up at next airport: What color is your car?
Brother: Red. What color is your hair?
Witchstone: Red. OK. See ya.
I tried not to show her too much of Kentucky, since it might spoil her for the big city.
We drove past one wrestling bar, but I wouldn't let her stop.

Does this mean that I can now be arrested on weapons charges, with the evidence being that I don't have a gun?
Posted by: MarsCrash on January 15, 2003 09:06 PMI know there's a famous quote from WWII, I think, (which I am unable to successfully google because my brain is fried) that goes something like: "The fact that there has been no suspicious activity is a very ominous development", or something along those lines.

Almost makes me wish there were more for people to look at.
Fuckity Fuck Fuck. I did three new entries yesterday which seem to have vanished plus clicking on the comments link gives me an error message and my MT login page dosent recognize me.
I may begin to weep soon. I've got messages in to support at both MT and Dreamhost. Everything was fine last night when I went to bed. Hell, some of y'all even commented on yesterdays posts, this makes no sense!!

Well, the first two are U.S. holidays, so there's a slight difference. But I was being sincere, not sarcastic. I really do love when things evolve from esoteric military rememberances to drinking occasions. It's all for the good, in my book.
Posted by: pardon me on January 16, 2003 09:54 AMHey, let's start a President's Day tradition of debauchery -- wild parties, ill-advised dips in frigid ponds and lakes in nothing but your choice of either a Lincoln-esque stovepipe hat or a powdered wig. C'mon, anyone?

Posted by: tizzie on January 16, 2003 10:59 AMSorry to hear that, jon. I have been grappling with a new MT install as well, and it hasn't been fun.

I had to reinstall the fucker from scratch. Again.
Backups are the way to go.
Posted by: adampsyche on January 16, 2003 11:02 AMthings evolve from esoteric military rememberances to drinking occasions.
That's what you see with these reunions today from WWII battles.
Enemy VS Enemy = Drinking Buddies.
Spy vs Spy = Humor
President vs Congress = The USA
I always thought Spy and Spy were both on the same side, and they just didn't know it. Kind of like that Alias show, minus Victor Garber and plus pointy noses.
Also, I too am wading through the MoveableTypeization of my weblog thing too. I anticipate getting stuck any minute now. (jon, be strong.)
Posted by: Chico on January 16, 2003 11:49 AMJust seemed to fit in with the Spy v. Spy thing.
You're da man, cheeko. No, wait, that will not do at all. The universe would collapse.
Did you know that that was the full name of the show? Chico and the Man ... ARE THE SAME PERSON!
The network execs didn't think people would go for it, and hey, Jack Albertson was equal parts esoteric military remembrance and drinking occasion all by his cranky cracker-assed self.
[thinking abuot Scatman Crothers in a powdered wig]
Posted by: Chico on January 16, 2003 02:56 PMHave you ever seen the "extra footage" documentary on "The Shining"?
They interview Scatman Crothers about his role in the movie, and he starts crying like... some grandmother. It's a little weird.
Of course, he's still the number one superguy as far as I'm concerned.

Anathema, I had no idea. How funny. But I read the whole thread, and now I'm dying to know whether you actually found the wig you were looking for. Did you? And how was the ensuing play/costume party/drag show? And lastly, are there photos?
Posted by: boomchicka on January 16, 2003 06:46 PMThe network execs didn't think people would go for it
References to network execs always reminds me of "Lenny Bruce: The Making of a Sitcom" from Jon Stewart's book.

Posted by: boomchicka on January 16, 2003 07:00 PMShaping up nicely dong. Of course I can't recommend ripping off the Hopper though.
Posted by: anathema on January 22, 2003 07:58 AMHelp, Tizzie has locked me in a cellar in western Kentucky! Presumably to be her sex slave, but she hasn't made a move in six days (except to throw down bits of moldy bread and a bowl of stew) so I'm not exactly sure what's going on. I managed to get two of her five dogs to chew a hole in the cellar door, and I crawled out and made it here to the computer. Unfortunately, my hands are still bound behind me so I really have no idea what I'm writing.
Posted by: witchstone on January 22, 2003 10:39 AMDon't worry witchie, last night Tizzie told me she was driving over to Hazzard County to pick up these three cousins and a mechanic for you to have some fun with.
Posted by: jonmc on January 22, 2003 10:42 AManathema! Not ripping! SWAPPING!
Edward Hopper is file-sharing with me.
I didn't see your blog until I went looking for monkey links. The kudos go both ways.
Posted by: dong_resin on January 22, 2003 10:52 AMChester, Clem, lookee whut I brung ya!
G'wan, lookee! It's a gurl! Ain't she purty?
Now you play nice with'er.
Auntie Tizzie? What're them things on her chest? They're nice...
Posted by: Clem, the curious one on January 22, 2003 12:20 PMAin't you know nuthin? That's where she keeps her babies til they're ready fer birthin' ya dumb possum sniffer!
Posted by: Chester, the smart one on January 22, 2003 12:21 PMpostum, damnit! this things been hung-up since 6am.
Posted by: anathema on January 22, 2003 01:00 PMSee what happens when I leave town for a while? I miss that donger's got a blog and post in the wrong thread about it.
Posted by: eyeballkid's fear of small, insertable objects on January 22, 2003 01:01 PMI'd just like to say (in lieu of dong_comments at the site) that that's one purty lookin' blog, too. Kudos and stuff.
Posted by: stavrosthewonderchicken on January 22, 2003 11:54 PMI like it too. I'm jealous, and send mad propellers to the donger.
What? Isn't what the kids are saying nowadays?
Posted by: yhbc on January 23, 2003 12:00 AMHa!
Hey, thanks for the love. I wanted something simple, but I think I was overdoing it with the previous model. Found the right balance now, I think.
Just to let you know, dong, your links bar gets cut off at the top of my browser. I can get to the link for this here place, but the words are cut off. (I.E. 6.something, normal res.)
Posted by: ufez on January 23, 2003 01:10 AMThanks for the tip-off, Ufez.
Anyone else see anything different from this? 
Sorry to do it in public, but it's only way I can get a consensus.
Damn, and here I though this site was the top one. Brittney is totally cut off in my browser, if that wasn't obvious from the get-go.
Posted by: ufez on January 23, 2003 01:43 AMI do think your site is super sexy, but as ufez points out the links get cut off at the top.
Although I don't know why you used the original "Night Hawks" when you could have used the far classier updated version. (It has neon!)
Posted by: readymade on January 23, 2003 01:47 AMokay, upon fucking around, I can get what you show by approaching from the bottom part of "Quality Reading", but if I go from the top then Britt and the top section of the 9622 is cut off.
at least, that's what Marliyn Vos Savant tells me. She also says you need more Showcase Showdown references.
Posted by: ufez on January 23, 2003 01:50 AMalso, mine's not as wide, i.e. the 9622 and cowboy sally link get wrapped around making probably causing the main problem.
Posted by: ufez on January 23, 2003 01:53 AMThat any better,ufez?
Readymade, I considered it, but without the neon, it just lacks... what.... class.
I'm nothing if not all about class.
Posted by: dong_resin on January 23, 2003 02:00 AM'Tis fixed, sir. Just don't add any more links, or it will all be fuXored for sure.
Posted by: ufez on January 23, 2003 02:04 AMHeh. I'll have to hit that bit of code with the monkey wrench. Good to know.
Posted by: dong_resin on January 23, 2003 02:07 AMcomments would be good, you know.
**cough, cough, kaf, cough cough**
Posted by: ufez on January 23, 2003 02:25 AMI don't think kafkarino will do comments. It's just part of his inscrutable ways
yeah, i know, teej. I should respect it. but it'd be nice, just for the sake of it. the comments on my blog rarely get used as it is, but when they happen, it's nice.
p.s. you need to update more, you lazy bastard ;)
Posted by: ufez on January 23, 2003 02:34 AMI second the comments suggestion. Dong is due a little terrorizing from me after haunting my place so long.
Posted by: brittney on January 23, 2003 04:54 AMI second brittney's comment suggestion. Let the mockery and degradation commence!
Posted by: jonmc on January 23, 2003 07:58 AMI second the seconding of the seconding, which means that I win tonight's Star Prize!
Posted by: stavrosthewonderchicken on January 23, 2003 08:08 AMit was so hard when you were updating the old way, dong. i couldn't go to the bathroom for fear of missing something.
Posted by: goneill on January 23, 2003 09:49 AMIs this the part of the morning when we start discussing Depends undergarments?
Posted by: witchstone on January 23, 2003 10:43 AMI finally added Dong and Brittney to my links. Anyone else I've forgotten?
Posted by: kafkaesque on January 23, 2003 11:44 AMAh. Found you a nice spot between Adampsyche and someone called Organic Mechanic who I really don't know who it is.
Posted by: kafka doolittle on January 23, 2003 02:25 PMThat the Spacemen from planet Bingo had infiltrated the highet strata of the International House of Pancakes.
Posted by: tj on January 23, 2003 02:48 PMwell, that's pretty much a given, teej.
Sorry to hear you've been feeling down.
Posted by: kafka doolittle on January 23, 2003 02:50 PMI'm in your links, and it links to the current url, but it still says "view from the counter." Maybe it's an homage to my innocent early days..
Posted by: jonmc on January 23, 2003 02:53 PMCockeyed Absurdist. I no longer work behind a counter, you see, but I am still cockeyed and absurd.
Posted by: jonmc on January 23, 2003 03:01 PMSweet. Kafkaesque-linkage.
See that Kottke?! I'm coming to get ya, motherfucker!
DANNY! DANNY BOY! DON'T RUN FROM ME, DANNY!
I just noticed jon linked to Cooley High above.
Indeed, a funny movie.
My husband checked our referrer logs, then came to me with this pained expression on his face.
"What?" sez I.
"Um, sweetie, do you know someone named ... um ... 'Dong Resin'?"
I needed that laugh. Thanks Dong!
Posted by: whatnot on January 23, 2003 10:54 PMAah! I've seen the Colectivo section of your site before, whatnot, and loved it. I was just thinking a couple of days ago how cool it was, but I couldn't remember where the hell I'd stumbled upon it. It's a great project!
Posted by: ufez on January 24, 2003 12:43 AMYeah, the hubby hates dealing with the organizing, so I have agreed to do that part and let him do the programming. Thanks!
