Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide!
The Invisible Killer
Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and
kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of
these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO,
but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there.
Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue
damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive
sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling,
nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those
who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain
death.
Dihydrogen monoxide:
* is also known as hydroxl acid, and is the major
component of acid rain.
* contributes to the "greenhouse effect."
* may cause severe burns.
* contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
* accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
* may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness
of automobile brakes.
* has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer
patients.
Contamination Is Reaching Epidemic Proportions!
Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in
almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today.
But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even
been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of
dollars of property damage in the midwest, and other
places worldwide.
Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
* as an industrial solvent and coolant.
* in nuclear power plants.
* in the production of styrofoam.
* as a fire retardant.
* in many forms of cruel animal research.
* in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing,
produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
* as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food
products.
Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and
nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is
still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we
cannot afford to ignore it any longer!
The Horror Must Be Stopped!
The American government has refused to ban the production,
distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its
"importance to the economic health of this nation." In
fact, the navy and other military organizations are
conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing
multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it
during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research
facilities receive tons of it through a highly
sophisticated underground distribution network. Many
store large quantities for later use.
It's Not Too Late!

Memo to Street Vibrators
Fuck you.
You are not welcome here. Go back to Fresno, or whatever shithole you came from. The only people who want you here are the casinos, no one else. Take your colors, your bikes, and your bleach blond, saggy titted whores and just fuck off.
You were never liked, ever. Another dipass event that closes our streets, creates noise, and now gunplay. Find someplace else to shit in...how about Sturgis? Those retards just LOVE you losers. "Oh, it's too far, and I'm just a pussy wannabe!" Really? I have a suggestion for ya: find a big horse cock and suck it until Sea Biscuit spurts it's rancid cum all over you and your girlfriend's face.
Stay away from Reno/Sparks...WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE!
Oh, and did I mention Fuck You? I did? Well, it bears repeating:

The Real Work
Wow, it's been awhile...2 months? This will be a long one, so you won't be lonely for the next 2 months. I will try to keep a better posting schedule, besides, it's not like I don't have anything to post about.
This one might not appeal very much to you, but I was thinking about this, and thought I would lay it down, for good or ill.
**
I have been, and still am, a cardman. I loves the cardz. Card magic, that is. Now I understand that most people, hereafter known as "laymen", think of magic as the stuff they see on TV. Guys like Doug Henning, or Dave Copperfield. Maybe a Vegas style show, like Lance Burton, Siegfried and Roy...that kind of thing. This stuff is called "Stage Magic", or Illusions. Well, we also have coin magic, dove magic, card magic, parlor (also known as Platform Magic), mentalism, all kinds of stuff.
Now, in the world of card and coin magic...which is basically sleight of hand magic, there is a thing called "The Real Work". This is a difficult concept to explain to laymen, as they pretty much just see the trick...you know, the coin vanishes, or the tiger appears in a box that was seconds ago shown to be empty. The same goes for coins and cards...they see the blow off without really knowing how it's done. Decades ago, a fellow named T. Nelson Downs was well known to laymen, and magicians alike as a top flight coin and card man, but mostly coins. He had a bit where he made 40 silver dollars vanish from his closed fist. That's what the laymen saw. Now, what if I told you that he accomplished this feat by palming the whole stack of 40 in his other hand? Noiselessly. Right under your nose. This is The Real Work.
With cards, it's the same thing. But it's really more than that. I guess that, with enough practice, and dedication, anyone could pull off palming 40 silver dollars without making a sound. I guess. But Downs was a special case in that he didn't really work on this too much, he just did it. I mean, of course there was practice involved, but only as far as the routine goes. He didn't really need to sit in front of a mirror for years perfecting it...in his hands it just sort of happened. With cards there are things that are really not possible to do...but there are some cardmen who do them anyway. Here is an example:
John Scarne, an east coast card guy published a book called "Scarne on Cards". He was a noted gambling expert who was hired by the US government to travel around teaching service men how to spot cheaters and not get swindled...this was during WWII. Anyway, in the book, he tells of a performance he did for some mob guys, and some very, very knowledgeable mechanics (card cheats). The highlight of this gig was Scarne opening a sealed, brand new pack of cards, shuffling them, and then cutting the 4 aces. Sounds simple, right? Think about it: sealed deck of cards, no false moves...just a shuffle or 2, then cut out the aces. When asked by the cheats how he did it, he told them that during the shuffle he would sight the aces in the deck, and count the number of cards that fell on each ace as he shuffled. Then he simply cut the proper number of cards to get to each ace. Now, there is some controversy over whether he actually did this as described. But if so, this would be a case of The Real Work.
The controversy is that Scarne appeared on The Tonight Show and performed this for Carson, who is an amateur magician himself. Well, Mr. Scarne did this using crimped aces, that is, the aces were bent a bit to facilitate the cutting. Carson, in reference to the rather large crimps, said to Scarne "boy, you could drive a truck through those!". So we will never know if Scarne really did the routine the way he says he did. Now, I am not really qualified to comment on this, as I didn't see him on the Carson show, but I know Scarne's work, and he was no slouch. But the Real Work? Only Scarne knows...or knew, he is no longer with us.
The point of this is that in my opinion, The Real Work does not exist. It is an ideal, a target that we continually shoot for, but never hit. We always can improve a move, or simplify it, or manage it better. But as far as attaining the Real Work...it's a pipe dream. We are limited by our own shortcomings, and our own level of skill, and no matter how much time and effort we put in, there will always be that Real Work lurking, and laughing at us. We all know this.
But we will keep chasing after it, not even stopping for breath.

Made me some Burritacodillas ala Chickenz tonight, and the Win was realized.
Tacos are the cat's ass. Cram a bunch of stuff into a tortilla, Indian wrestle it down your throat, and call it a day. I had some chicken breasts laying around and decided that whipping up some mega-Mexican fare was in order. Now, I have cooked the chicken different ways in the past: broiled, then shredded, pan fried then shredded, diced raw and simmered with some ersatz Sauce out of a Can...you name it. The results were shitty to a little better than mediocre. What I did tonight was pretty good.
I simply put the breasts into a pot and boiled them with some black pepper, garlic powder and salt, for maybe 2 minutes. Then simmer for 10 minutes, then off the fire and let 'em cool for about 10-20 minutes right in the pot. Remove and shred the chicken, then put it into a skillet with a little oil and lots of cumin. I like cumin.
What you end up with is some pretty moist chicken, with lots of that great cumin taste and aroma. Some beans, sliced avocados and tomatoes, cheese, your favorite hot stuff and someone to do the dishes.
I did 4 breasts, and have plenty for tomorrow and probably the next day. Good stuff.

Read me first...or else!
Welcome!
After lots of consideration, I decided to try this blogging deal for myself.
I won't pretend to know what I am doing, or what might appear here, but off we go. Any suggestions are welcome, comments are, of course, welcome, and spirited conversation is extremely welcome. Jump in!
Some rules to live by:
1. Pretty much anything goes here. Agree, disagree...I don't really care. But, please try to stay on topic.
2. I have had problems at other sites with "moderation". I won't "moderate", or censor comments unless you really cross the line. If you need to have "crossing the line" explained to you, then expect to be moderated.
3. This is my blog. If you don't like my blog, go out and make one of your own.
4. You don't have the right to not be offended. Read that again for comprehension.
5. Spam will not be tolerated. Not for one second.
I would imagine that not many people will come here (hope that will change in the future), but at first I will probably know most of you. Just a heads up for ya: if you say something stupid, you will be called out on it. You will be called on wild-ass assertion. If I make a mistake, I will accept being called on it, but be prepared to back it up. Those who know me understand what I'm saying here. Those who don't understand will learn quickly enough. I have no problem mocking you mercilessly, and will do so at the drop of a hat. You have been warned.
Please enjoy your stay here, and come back often!
