In "Star Wars on latest internet craze."

a little short for a stormtrooper?

In "Papa Ratzi toying with abolishing Limbo."

That's a bit decActually, the new Catholic view without limbo would allow unbaptized babies to go to heaven - part of this new belief is to make Catholicism able to compete better with Islam in Africa.

In "Bad bad fashion."

Hey BlueHorse, the pictures in the Parents series never lived up to their true potential - I don't think those pictures are representative of bad parenting like Malingering would like them to be. I did laugh at the boy in the Coors Light jacket, but the whole series wasn't nearly as biting or funny as something like Vice Magazine's Do's and Don'ts. Of course, Vice tends to pick its well deserved targets a bit closer to the twenty-thirty something hipster world than small kids running rampant throughout Southern California in furry boots.

Just last week a friend and I saw a mid thirties, slightly overweight woman wearing bright red shorts that said 'NASCAR' on the ass. I thought that was perhaps the best word someone who wears 'asswriting' clothes could have there. It kinda sums it all up in one word, neatly split between the cheeks. I was disappointed by the 'who are their parents' series, with a name like that, the photos should be epic, or maybe my senses have just been dulled a bit too much

In "In 1969 the US Senate had a hearing on funding the newly developed Corporation for Public Broadcasting."

It's like watching a real life version of the end of Miracle on 34th Street or something. Wow. That's pretty cool.

In "Stephen Colbert sticks it to Bush - to his face."

Among attendees at the black tie event: Morgan Fairchild, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, Justice Antonin Scalia, George Clooney, and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter of the Doobie Brothers--in a kilt. Wow, glad the press added that line to the report. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was there - and a doobie in a kilt. Fine way to keep us posted of the crux of the matter.

In "2006 Roll Call:"

I'm drinking a few beers now and painting to celebrate my number 21 earlier, even though I was plain sober then and thought I was just 20. bah. Tecate cures all. I'm still 21!!!

Oops, my eyes tend to glaze over any number with a decimal. Sorry.

20. Employee No. 1729 I don't post a lot, but I read a lot. Next?

In "Pharoah's tomb found in Valley of the Kings, intact."

When is the FOX TV special with that Egyptian guy and the robot who climbed the little shaft in the Great Pyramid? Maybe this time out he'll be teamed with Geraldo to open it up together. I do hope they find some cool stuff in there.

In "Austin Meetup"

I may be able to make it, my schedule has been out of control lately, but things may settle down for a night of quiet drinks. It'll be quiet, right?

In "I'm so hungry I could eat a..."

I thought mayonnaise and ketchup sandwiches were famine foods, (in place of tomatoes) apparently, its just something my grandparents ate during the Depression (and passed along to my mom, who...)

In "He's more chemical than vegetable now."

I'm sorry. I promise I searched for it and couldn't find it. Darn, now I sound like one of those people. I'm sorry. My inadequate Search

In "artpad"

after further review, Koko wins.

for what it's worth, here's mine: <"My Self> so close to getting html down.

In "Curious George: Simple cheap web hosting:"

I've never had any problems with doteasy.com - you can register a domain and have an ad free 100MB of space and 1000MB of traffic a month for $25 for the yeaqr - no monthly fees.

In "Publishable George:"

Austin has effing press - a real, live small time publisher who publishes regular issues and small press books of poets and writers. Really good stuff, and oddly enough, in Austin, like nickdanger.

In "The National Christian Art Competition"

I have no problem with religious art, some of the best art ever is religious, after modernism its easy to forget. My trouble was strictly with the art and the trite sentiments and execution of these paintings.

I'm tempted to paint a painting for them and see what happens. Of course, I always get grand ideas of making horrible art and selling it for inflated prices to interested masses. But I know the damage to my soul and my own work would be counterproductive, and I always think of a little mantra I've developed, "Trying to make money by making art is stupid, making money selling art is not."

In "Curious George: I'd like to start a blog."

I just jumped right in a couple years ago and started a website with my own domain name with the intention of promoting my art. My site has grown to document all the odd little aspects of my life as well as my paintings and art, and has been extremely helpful in business. Two years later and I still know barely anything about html or css, but am rather envious of the ease of categories and archiving in blogger. Good luck though!
