July 2004

So I’m working on this series of stick figures for the ars.linux crew. This is mine, as you might expect. Witness the glory of the brow ridge. Feel the intensity of the killer’s smile. FEAR THE SHOVEL. I’m working my way through the rest of the crew, but it’s going to take me a while. So if you have suggestions for how they can be done, feel free to comment and let me know. Some people are easier than others.

Welcome to the al-Qaida Bar & Grill, can I tell you about our daily specials? Today we’re having a special on our Hamas Hummus, as well as our PLO BLT. If that’s not to your tastes, perhaps you’d like to try our new Intifada Enchilada? If that’s still not to your taste, our Chef’s Specials today are the Achille Lauro Lamb, which has its legs lightly broken before being thrown into a salt-water marinade, or possibly our new Karbalah Farfalle?

Perhaps a wine list? Oh, maybe not.

So as long as we’re talking about this stuff, might as well indicate that my personal stance places me somewhere between Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama. Outstanding.

An animated Saddam Hussein realizes, once and for all, the TRUE answer to the question “What would I do for a Klondike Bar?”

UPDATE: This is now a caption contest. Best caption by July 08 gets a coveted halberd.org email address. GET TO WORK!

Yes, it’s that dreaded day. The birthday. Just another checkpoint on your long, slow march to the grave.

I suppose it’s not too bad. I’ve got a copy of Onimusha 3 now, and a few leftover dollars to pick up Samurai Warriors for the XBox when it comes out. It’ll be my first Koei game for the XBox, but from what I’ve seen the graphics are a lot better than the PS2 versions, and I’m just an addict for these games.

But anyhow . . . just another day at work for me, I guess. Sara doesn’t understand why I don’t take off on my birthdays, but they’re just not that special to me. Sometimes I wish they were.
