this priest has said that catholics who voted for obama should not receive communion. he’s rather see the nation completely disappear in financial ruin. idiot. this guy would have swung the hammer two thousand years ago nailing a hippie liberal into a tree on calvary. God bless North Carolina Share this:

walking through a shopping plaza parking lot last night, i saw something i’d forgotten about: cigarette piles you know these things: dense concentrations of (usually) a specific brand of cigarette butts in a parking lot. they’re left when some idiot dumps out his/her ashtray as they’re getting in/out of the car. is it so hard ...

so, i’ve loved my HP 8710w mobile workstation (a boring name for a notebook computer). i’ve had it since the beginning of the year, and it chugs along very well. it’s heavy, but powerful (just like me). photoshop, premier, video playback, visual studio, vmware, they all chug along nicely. it’s a good laptop, and i ...

the conman maintains that this happened at brunswick, and there’s a chance that’s true, though i’m pretty sure this event happened at roller kingdom. regardless, i have a new toy. it’s a full size arcade cabinet running MAME, the arcade simulator. that means that just about every arcade game we played as kids can be ...

since 1903 (except for the boycott in 1904 and the strike by those greedy bastards in 1994), it’s been played faithfully every year. Despite World War I, the global influenza pandemic of 1918–19, the Great Depression of the 1930s, America’s involvement in World War II, and even an earthquake in the host city of the ...
