Happy Birthday!
The Famicom or, as is known outside of Japan, the NES turns 20 today! Join the celebration.
There’s also a competition that Nintendo is running to commemorate 20 years of the wildly popular system. But it requires you to buy stuff…

ushinawareta tsubasa wo sagashite…
(in search of lost wings…)
So, yeah long time no shit. I guess I’ve been preoccupied with feeling sorry for myself. But no more shall I not dishonor the Daijin clan! I will pick my sorry ass up and do something fruitful. Now where’s that pr0n…..
I see some people as public service announcements on the dangers of not using condoms.. ‘Your unwanted baby could grow up to be this’. You simply have to visit my previous office to see some prime examples. My new place has some too, but the population is not as dense…
So Wired says these are the coolest gadgets released this year. With my financial state being what can only be described as a third world economy, I can only drool. Of course, if everyone gets poorer, I’ll be one step closer to being upper middle class.
So Duck and Cover has some concept art rumored to be from Fallout 3. And the fact that the artist who drew them kept them in a folder called fallout, and NMA’s photo of Bioware’s office walls sporting the same concept art with a nice F3 logo leads me to think this might be more than just a hoax. Bioware. and Fallout 3. This is the exact stuff my wet dreams are made of… of course you gotta throw in some naked chicks. There’s always room for some naked chicks.
Now where the HELL is that pr0n…

A Century of Wierdisms
One of the more unusual benefits of having a blog that seems to attract some readers is that when you mention your dismal lack of knowledge about something, you get a lot of very helpful, informative emails that help fill in the gaps in your knowledge. It’s sorta like this weird Reverse Google reflex – I toss out the fact that I have no clue about something and a myriad of information laden emails float into my mailbox. I feel sort of guilty, as if I didn’t go to the proper amount of effort to learn some of the info I’ve absorbed in the past few days.
Thanks people, for all the linkies and articles and tips. You guys are the shit.
And AJ, dude you rock. Thanks for all the info, once again.
I leave you with this thought:
“A world in which it is wrong to murder an individual civilian and right to drop a thousand tons of high explosive on a residential area does sometimes make me wonder whether this earth of ours is not a loony bin made use of by some other planet.”
-George Orwell, who would have been a 100 years today…
The saga collapses into a fetal position

The saga collapses into a fetal position.
Arun�s been taken to a hospital for examination after a police officer sees him trying to make out with an air hockey machine, slowly mumbling, �Fatality� Fatality��
The doc asks Arun a few routine questions�
Arun: It�s a fairly common misconception that you can�t make windows out of brick. Most people feel that brick is too soggy. I assure you it is a shoe.
Scientists have discovered that nine out of ten shoes are numb. This brings us to a disturbing question: Does Coffee bleed?
If in fact it does, then one must consider the possibility that all life is but a Giant Cake Mold. But instead of delicious, gooey cake batter, we are filled with� raisins.
Doc: Riiight� Drunk and Disorderly�
Arun: I am so not drunk.
Doc: Then count backwards from ten.
Arun: Q. No� Fuck!

Flies spread diseases so keep yours closed
I’m never at my best at describing things. At school, my report card generally read ‘Has little to no ability, but does his best’, or words to that effect. True, in the course of years I have picked up a vocabulary of sorts, but I’m not nearly smart enough to draw word-pictures that would do justice to events that deem themselves fit enough to befall me from time to time. I will endeavor to explain one such phenomenon now.
Well let me begin at the beginning. Two nights ago, I was coloring a cartoon at home when a fly started buzzing around my computer. Now normally this wouldn’t have bothered me, but this fly kept buzzing by my head like it had something against me. So I rolled up a wad of loose paper near by and when it landed on the wall I hit it. Then I hit it when it fell on the ground again just to make sure. I went back to coloring thinking that was over.
Then about 5 minutes later I hear a buzzing sound, I look down and the fly has come back to life and is flopping around the floor slowly coming back to life. I assumed that I only stunned it even though I knew I hit it pretty hard. So I stepped on it (to put it out of misery) and again went back to coloring.
Then Nature called and I went to the bathroom. When I got back I again heard a buzzing sound and there was a fly buzzing about the room. I looked down and the fly I thought I had killed was gone. Now I thought to myself “This can’t be the same fly” but I then I thought, “But that other fly just didn’t disappear”. So I kind of freaked out and became suspicious of this fly I couldn’t seem to kill. I waited and hit the fly again sending it flying against a wall and behind a shelf.
Then last night I come back and there is another fly in the room. Now this is either a long string of coincidences or I’ve come across some kind of undead or possessed fly.
So not taking any chances I’ve gone off to find a crucifix. I wonder if anyone knows where I can get some holy water or a blessed flyswatter??? Really, I’m desperate…
Also a nod to Andy for the title…
