220 when i lay my burden down
meet furry lewis. most folks don’t know him at all. he kinda got glossed over in the history of the blues. happened to more of the less marketable bluesmen. he had one leg and like dean martin, his drink of choice was ten high. last christmas my cousin got a crappy acoustic guitar and i was asked to tune it for him, and after i tuned it i played it a little bit, threw in a little of the hill country style blues, and my mom who was sitting near started dancing in her chair a little and says, ” boy, i feel like i’m listening to furry lewis agian”. my older sister and i did a double take and asked her how she knew about furry lewis and she told us stories about how she and our aunt used to go see him play at some of the coffee shops around memphis, zooted out of their heads i’m sure. if his way of playing is confusing or scary, just keep watching, he was part of the old medicine show circuit from the 20′s nd 30′s and when jug bands were hot he played alot with gus cannon. this is how they did things. none of this house of blues crap. this video i think he’s in his room. and age 78.
218 do i really need to write anything?
this is kinda self explanatory
216 bushoes

215 Hey, man, who’s throwing away perfectly good burritos?

211 hijinks on the high seas
i dunno if anyone else is keeping up, but i’m pretty excited about the somali pirate stories i’ve been hearing lately. like the one about the chinese sailors throwing molotov cocktails at the somalis, then when the somalis give up, it turns out they don’t have shoes and can’t get off the chinese boat because of all the broken glass and fire, so their next demand form the chinese sailors are shoes. which the chinese give them. can’t win them all, but you might get some topsiders out of the deal.

205 As soon as video tattoos are invented, I’m getting this on my face
I know, it’s another video. I want to get more substantial posts up, but this one is just too good to leave floating on the nets. 787 Cliparts by Oliver Laricis, a video of I-don’t-know-how-many cliparts strung together. It makes me feel like a true world citizen, if the world were fully contained in Word 97.
14 Mirror’s Edge Review
I’ve wanted to begin reviewing games for quite a while now, and hopefully I can get some more up here soon. But my first review was pretty easy; Mirror’s Edge on Xbox 360. It’s got quite a bit to write about on both the pro’s and con’s of the game. All in all I was quite impressed with the games concept and gameplay, but for all that it had going for it, the flaws stood out even more.
Check after the break for my in-depth thoughts on the game.

189 I need to install some trees in my house
Sloths are such strange little lazy asses. How could anything so slow and with such huge claws be so adorable. I want one. I’ve actually looked into it, but it seems to be pretty tricky to get one as a pet. Also, since they’re used to living in trees, they tend to just poop wherever the hell they’re at. But don’t you think a sloth in a diaper would be just too rad for words.
I would also train him to attack on command. Then when I say “Sic ‘em!”, everyone would laugh and forget about it. But a half hour later he would unexpectedly begin sinking his teeth into his victims neck. Oh Shlomo, you’re such a little rascal!
181 History lesson: when time travelling to the past, avoid lamps at all cost
Here is a great flickr set of 30 ways to die of electrocution. But really I would whittle it down to 5 ways, as 25 of the deaths are caused by the victims foolish and brazen touching of lamps. Tsk tsk. Our species is better off without their lamp-touching DNA weakening our posterity.

158 More study materials for the zombie apocalypse
Who would have guessed the pairing of zombie gore and claymation would have given me such a big boner? Well, it does. And if you like big boners, check out the rest of takena’s videos. But, you don’t have to take my word for it.
151 “I’m surfing on the yay-hoo”
Now I see why old people have such a blast mousing around the internet; they think they’re playing the skill crane. Each link is like an adorable stuffed elephant just waiting to be snatched up. I love the close up of her craggely old lady hands clicking those mouse buttons like they were “hot potatoes”.
147 Do you like coffee?
I’m not quite sure what I think about this. The fact that this guy would torture some guy and make him drink his own blood is a wee bit bat-shit. However you have to admire him for his commitment to, as he puts it, “follow the footprints behind [him]“ That and he reminds me of Toki, and who doesn’t love Toki.
All I know is Glenn Danzig better watch his back, because Gahl would probably kidnap, torture, and ass rape him, given the opportunity.

120 Punch Dump Love
This is my history:
So my two uncles, Danny and David, were on a fishing trip on a small motor boat. After a breakfast of old meat and other dirty things they hit the water. Danny was in the front of the boat as it quickly sped across the water; for moment he turned his head to the side and a small smack of spittle came loose from his lips. The straggler landed on Dave’s face. Dave quickly retaliated with a punch to Danny’s arm, which caused a confused Danny to punch Dave in HIS arm. More angry than ever, Dave hit Danny in the arm again, this time with all his might. Danny, now confused and slightly hurt, hit back. Danny struck Dave’s arm with so much intensity and power that Dave, with no other choice, CRAPPED HIS PANTS. That’s right–Danny punched Dave in the arm in such a way that Dave was forced to take an immediate dump. The boat stopped and a cursing Dave dove into the water. The fecal explosion effected everything: the boat and seat were covered, as was most of Dave. When Dave finally finished his clean-up he began trying to get back in the boat. Much to his dismay this proved a nearly impossible task. The high sides of the boat were difficult to scale, and Dave was slightly overweight. A hysterically joyous Danny made the effort to help him up, and after about ten minutes he succeeded.
Happy trails dear family.
Poopy pants.
