Deadliest Catch

Sig is leaving the show along with the Hillstrand brothers. I can do without Andy and John. They turned into assholes over the past few seasons (maybe they were always that way and they just started to show more) and since they bailed on a spinoff Discovery special, I thought they might be gone. But no Sig? With Phil dying, Sig was the only captain left worth watching. I'm not going to watch just for Keith and his blubbering.

Less than five weeks left!

Here is a fan made opening sequence for The Walking Dead. If this show isn't good, oh, how sad I will be.

Boobs in the sky

This video isn't safe for work, but if you like a bunch of topless chicks in a commercial from Denmark, you should watch it. Thanks to ol Hippie John for this.

105 mph!!!! What the f**k?

Arlodis Chapman threw a pitch that clocked in at 105mph. He's a rookie reliever for the Reds and threw the fastest pitch ever recorded yesterday. Faster than Randy Johnson! Faster than Nolan Ryan! Can you imagine trying to hit a fastball thrown at that speed? Nice work rookie!

New tv

So new tv is back back back. We watched Modern Family, Community, and the Office tonight. Add on to that Mad Men and my gay show Project Runway (hey girlfriend!). Then add Chuck and that new show the Event which we haven't watched yet and that's a shit ton of tv to watch. Plus we get Netflix and I like to play video games and read. I may quit my job and sell the kids so I can get the truly important things accomplished.

But, back to the shows. Mad Men has been fanfuckingtastic this year. All of the Don Draper one on one episodes with the other characters have been great.

Project Runway is good too. I thought 90 minutes of queering it up would be a bit much, but I was wrong.

As for the returning sitcoms, I must say I enjoyed Community and The Office more than Modern Family this week. The Office had it's first really good episode in god knows how long and Community kept the great form from last year. Modern Family had a mediocre finale last year and the opener wasn't too great either. Are they losing steam after getting all the acclaim and the Emmy?

Chuck will be Chuck. I'm hoping for something good with The Event. We also DVRd the first outsourced. It will probably suck, but who knows.

Also, only five more weeks until the six week zombiefest known as The Walking Dead begins. Holy shit I can't wait.

Has anyone out there been following Rubicon? I watched the first episode way back when Breaking Bad had their finale and thought it was too slow, but wanted to give it another shot. I haven't given it that shot yet, but we can get it On-Demand so if anyone wants to say it's good, let me know.

Cheers,

Gibbons and my vault package

I took the day off so I could go with Connor to the zoo for his preschool field trip. We touched the sharks, saw the new cheetahs, watched the elephants get fed, and saw a gibbon pee into his hand then lick it. He was just hanging on the netting looking at us, when drip, drip, drip, the pee came out slowly with his hand underneath. He licked it, put the hand back underneath and let out a bit more pee. He must have watched Man vs. Wild or something. You have to drink the pee fresh or bacteria will grow and make it unhealthy.

After the zoo, Connor and I came home where I found the latest Third Man Records vault package waiting for me. This quarter's pack had a black and blue vinyl live Dead Weather show recorded at Third Man, a 45 with two more live songs from the first album, and a DVD of the show. The live show is the Sea of Cowards album played front to back and the 45 is the encore. The packaging is pretty badass and the black and blue vinyl is ridiculously cool. You usually only get those if you are one of the few to see the show in person.

By the way a few songs for you readers to check out:

Taos by Menomena
All Day Daylight and Cold War by the Morning Benders

The new Born Ruffians is pretty good too if you like yelpy lead singers like I know you do.

Cheers,

Man Utd v Liverpool

This morning, Lindy and I got up, showered, and left the boys to her mom for a morning at the Chatham Tap for some soccer. A couple of cups of coffee, a really good breakfast, and one Boddington's later, Berbatov had scored a hat trick and saved the mighty Red Devils from another draw. We were leading 2-0 then made two really dumbfuck plays to let the dirty Scousers back in it, but Berba saved the day with a nice header to put the game away. I never thought I'd be getting up to go to a bar to watch soccer at 8:30 in the morning. It was awesome.

Glory glory Man United

We've been playing mediocre at best football and this weekend we fight the dirty fucking Scousers of Liverpool. Here is a site with a ton of fight songs for the Red Devils:

Here is a sample:

He's only a poor little scouser
His face is all tattered and torn
He made me feel sick
So I hit him with a brick
And now he can't sing anymore!

Christine O'Donnell

The Tea Party Delaware Republican Senate nominee is anti-masturbation. Fronte sent me an email with addressing this:

G,

Here is a paragraph about O'Donnell, the tea party candidate who won in NY last night.

"After college, O'Donnell moved to Washington, D.C., first working for an anti-pornography group, then taking jobs with the Republican National Committee and with Concerned Women for America, an anti-feminist group. She also founded a nonprofit group called the Savior's Alliance for Lifting the Truth, to promote "righteous" values and sexual morality. It was in connection with her work for the group that O'Donnell was featured in a 1996 MTV documentary, "Sex in the '90s," to tout abstinence and speak out against masturbation."

I know know she is your enemy #1, since she wants to ban your favorite pastime

From the barbershop
Fronte

Across this great land, we all know Delaware as the boring state, but how can you be against self-gratification? If it weren't for masturbation, how would our favorite socks know that they were our favorites? Maybe she would relax a bit if she gave the old bean a spin every now and again.

Human vestigiality

Hey blog readers, ever wonder what that little nodule thing on the inner corner of your eye is? A tear duct? Nope. It is the remnant of a nictitating eyelid from the olden days when humanoids had the need for a third eyelid. Or maybe it's just another trick the God is playing on us to make us believe that silly Darwin fella. You know, like the dinosaur bones He put in the dirt to fool us. Here is a list of other useless things on our bodies. Thanks to Jess for bringing up this topic whilst sitting on our couch watching people make sugar sculptures.

Chilean miners

The "Alive" survivors are telling the miners to never give up and what not. Then they sent down a cookbook, you know, just in case Rodrigo started again with the telling of how he came this close to making the national soccer team.

Baby clothes

Connor found an old bag of baby clothes this morning and has been putting various shirts on throughout the day. I just buttoned him up in a 0-3month onesie. He's very odd.

Camping in the wind

You know what's fun? Trying to put up a tent by yourself when the wind is gusting like crazy. Also, having three kids "helping" doesn't make it much better.

Why Metacritic why?

Why did you go and change your layout Metacritic? It is a bit prettier now, but it's a pain in the ass to navigate. I tried giving it a few weeks to get used to it, but I really wish they would change it back to the old way. I miss having everything new right at the top of the list. Now you can't see that some weird little movie is out and getting good reviews. The front page doesn't have what DVDs have been recently released either. It used to feel more comprehensive, now you have to dig around, oh well.

The Morning Benders

I saw this on Subterranean tonight and thought it sounded good. A certain someone might think 3/4 of the band look alright too.

The nut at the Discovery Channel

I had no idea this had happened until Lindy told me last night, but apparently a guy who really didn't like all of the shows about people who shoot multiple babies out of their hoohahs loaded himself with bombs and went to the Discovery HQ. Of course, he was shot and killed, but I have to say, if he had been protesting all of the midget shows too, I may have sided with him. As Jess and I have discussed, midgets used to be fascinating and rare, now they're just annoying. Ah well, here is the nut's list of demands from his website:

My favorite part is highlighted in bold.

The Discovery Channel MUST broadcast to the world their commitment to save the planet and to do the following IMMEDIATELY:
1. The Discovery Channel and it's affiliate channels MUST have daily television programs at prime time slots based on Daniel Quinn's "My Ishmael" pages 207-212 where solutions to save the planet would be done in the same way as the Industrial Revolution was done, by people building on each other's inventive ideas. Focus must be given on how people can live WITHOUT giving birth to more filthy human children since those new additions continue pollution and are pollution. A game show format contest would be in order. Perhaps also forums of leading scientists who understand and agree with the Malthus-Darwin science and the problem of human overpopulation. Do both. Do all until something WORKS and the natural world starts improving and human civilization building STOPS and is reversed! MAKE IT INTERESTING SO PEOPLE WATCH AND APPLY SOLUTIONS!!!!
2. All programs on Discovery Health-TLC must stop encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human infants and the false heroics behind those actions. In those programs' places, programs encouraging human sterilization and infertility must be pushed. All former pro-birth programs must now push in the direction of stopping human birth, not encouraging it.
3. All programs promoting War and the technology behind those must cease. There is no sense in advertising weapons of mass-destruction anymore. Instead, talk about ways to disassemble civilization and concentrate the message in finding SOLUTIONS to solving global military mechanized conflict. Again, solutions solutions instead of just repeating the same old wars with newer weapons. Also, keep out the fraudulent peace movements. They are liars and fakes and had no real intention of ending the wars. ALL OF THEM ARE FAKE! On one hand, they claim they want the wars to end, on the other, they are demanding the human population increase. World War II had 2 Billion humans and after that war, the people decided that tripling the population would assure peace. WTF??? STUPIDITY! MORE HUMANS EQUALS MORE WAR!
4. Civilization must be exposed for the filth it is. That, and all its disgusting religious-cultural roots and greed. Broadcast this message until the pollution in the planet is reversed and the human population goes down! This is your obligation. If you think it isn't, then get hell off the planet! Breathe Oil! It is the moral obligation of everyone living otherwise what good are they??
5. Immigration: Programs must be developed to find solutions to stopping ALL immigration pollution and the anchor baby filth that follows that. Find solutions to stopping it. Call for people in the world to develop solutions to stop it completely and permanently. Find solutions FOR these countries so they stop sending their breeding populations to the US and the world to seek jobs and therefore breed more unwanted pollution babies. FIND SOLUTIONS FOR THEM TO STOP THEIR HUMAN GROWTH AND THE EXPORTATION OF THAT DISGUSTING FILTH! (The first world is feeding the population growth of the Third World and those human families are going to where the food is! They must stop procreating new humans looking for nonexistant jobs!)
6. Find solutions for Global Warming, Automotive pollution, International Trade, factory pollution, and the whole blasted human economy. Find ways so that people don't build more housing pollution which destroys the environment to make way for more human filth! Find solutions so that people stop breeding as well as stopping using Oil in order to REVERSE Global warming and the destruction of the planet!
7. Develop shows that mention the Malthusian sciences about how food production leads to the overpopulation of the Human race. Talk about Evolution. Talk about Malthus and Darwin until it sinks into the stupid people's brains until they get it!!
8. Saving the Planet means saving what's left of the non-human Wildlife by decreasing the Human population. That means stopping the human race from breeding any more disgusting human babies! You're the media, you can reach enough people. It's your resposibility because you reach so many minds!!!
9. Develop shows that will correct and dismantle the dangerous US world economy. Find solutions for their disasterous Ponzi-Casino economy before they take the world to another nuclear war.
10. Stop all shows glorifying human birthing on all your channels and on TLC. Stop Future Weapons shows or replace the dialogue condemning the people behind these developments so that the shows become exposes rather than advertisements of Arms sales and development! 11. You're also going to find solutions for unemployment and housing. All these unemployed people makes me think the US is headed toward more war. Humans are the most destructive, filthy, pollutive creatures around and are wrecking what's left of the planet with their false morals and breeding culture. For every human born, ACRES of wildlife forests must be turned into farmland in order to feed that new addition over the course of 60 to 100 YEARS of that new human's lifespan! THIS IS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE FOREST CREATURES!!!! All human procreation and farming must cease! It is the responsiblity of everyone to preserve the planet they live on by not breeding any more children who will continue their filthy practices. Children represent FUTURE catastrophic pollution whereas their parents are current pollution. NO MORE BABIES! Population growth is a real crisis. Even one child born in the US will use 30 to a thousand times more resources than a Third World child. It's like a couple are having 30 babies even though it's just one! If the US goes in this direction maybe other countries will too! Also, war must be halted. Not because it's morally wrong, but because of the catastrophic environmental damage modern weapons cause to other creatures. FIND SOLUTIONS JUST LIKE THE BOOK SAYS! Humans are supposed to be inventive. INVENT, DAMN YOU!! The world needs TV shows that DEVELOP solutions to the problems that humans are causing, not stupify the people into destroying the world. Not encouraging them to breed more environmentally harmful humans.

Saving the environment and the remaning species diversity of the planet is now your mindset. Nothing is more important than saving them. The Lions, Tigers, Giraffes, Elephants, Froggies, Turtles, Apes, Raccoons, Beetles, Ants, Sharks, Bears, and, of course, the Squirrels.

The humans? The planet does not need humans. You MUST KNOW the human population is behind all the pollution and problems in the world, and YET you encourage the exact opposite instead of discouraging human growth and procreation. Surely you MUST ALREADY KNOW this! I want Discovery Communications to broadcast on their channels to the world their new program lineup and I want proof they are doing so. I want the new shows started by asking the public for inventive solution ideas to save the planet and the remaining wildlife on it.
These are the demands and sayings of Lee.

Froggies and, of course, the squirrels... perfect!

So sleepy

I haven't been sleeping well lately. Not sure why, but I've been waking at 3 or so every night. Yesterday, I fell asleep in my car while waiting for Logan to get out of school. I usually get there fairly early so I'm not in the huge line. I read or listen to the radio on most days, but yesterday, I thought it would be ok to close my eyes for a few minutes. It wasn't the best idea. I awoke to a smiling teacher rapping her knuckles on my passenger side window. The cars that were in front of me were no longer there and I was holding up the line by taking a nap. Now I'm going to be known as "the dumbass dad who fell asleep in his car." It's a bit of a long title, but there you have it. Perhaps I should go to bed a bit earlier.
