Okay so I haven't done nothin on this site since May... and people just keep on coming. So I guess I'm picking up the torch again. This won't be the same. I've got to make a living so I can't just screw around anymore. I've got to work. Which means sell stuff on eBay. Also I take pictures er um photographs. So maybe I'll talk about that. I could have links to the stuff I'm selling or maybe not or maybe I will. Any way it's cool people keep looking here. Over the last few months this site has average 7,000 hits per month!

And I'll try to find to find some Odd websites for your enjoyment. Oh and we recently moved the the supposed hippie capital of the free world--Woodstock NY. I'm disappointed, I've seen very few hippies. I saw a wizard though!

Odd Sites for 5/17

Saw Liza Minnelli on TV last night and it got me thinking about her mama and her great slide from greatness. This also brought to mind Joan Rivers. I predict that both Joan and Liza will go the way of Judy Garland either through drink, drugs or insanity. You can already hear the insanity in their voices. About a year ago I heard some of Joan River's radio show in NYC. It was a call-in show and she was trying to give out advice. It sounded like she had been hooked up to a box of wine all night. She sounded so much like Judy Garland during her downward spiral days, it was amazing. It was like watching a train wreck. The show was pretty bad but it was amazing how screwed-up she was. Here's a few sites dedicated to this trilogy of terror.

Liza on TV -- Watch your favorite Liza shows. I didn't know she was in "The Muppets Take Manhattan."

End of the Rainbow -- Numerous articles covering Judy Garland's accidental overdose from Barbituites.

Celebrities at their worst, Judy Garland Speaks! -- Boy does she every. This is classic. These are samples of the whole interview. But three minutes of old Judy is an earful. This is as good as those clips I've seen of her trying to sing in her later years.

Dee Dee Hanson does Joan Rivers -- Since Joan Rivers is such an upstanding citizen I can't find hardly any shit on her except this retarded site about her being a criminal because she made Janeane Garofalo cry--who cares.

Odd Sites for 5/16

Got this today in the old email bin. I haven't gotten a response back from them yet. I hope they hurry, I'm so excited, I can't wait to start my new career!

To: LAZY people - ONLY
Subject: Attention: Seeking 100 Lazy people mahhd


We are desperately looking for 100 lazy people
who wish to make lots of money without working.


We are not looking for people who are self-motivated.
We are not looking for people who join every 'get rich
quick' scheme offered on the internet.


We are not looking for class presidents, beautiful
people, career builders or even college graduates.
We don't even want union workers or trade school graduates.


We want the laziest people that exist - the men and
women who expect to make money without lifting a finger.


We want the people who stay in bed until noon.


We want those of you who think that getting out of bed to go
lay on the couch is an effort that is best not thought about.


If you meet this criteria, go to:


zsuccesswithouteffort@yahoo.com


and type in the Subject Line the following words:
"I do not want to work".


In fact, if you are so lazy that typing those words
in the Subject line is an effort, than don't bother.


Just click on the email and we'll know that you want
us to send you the domain name anyhow, because then
we will be absolutely certain that you are the
kind of person we want.

In case you haven't figured it out yet, we want
the kind of people who DO NOT take risks.
v
If you are the kind of person who will consider doing
something that's NOT a 'sure thing', then do NOT respond.


This is too easy a way to make money
and there's no challenge in it.


If you can get to the website that we are going
to email you, you will be able to see the first
home business in history that requires no work. NONE.


By clicking on this email and then going to
this website, you will be telling us that you
want to make enough money that you can quit
your regular job and sleep all day.


We are not looking for a commitment from you
and we don't even want your money.


As a matter of fact, we don't even want you
to hear from us again if the idea of making lots
of money without working does not interest you.


So this is the first
and last email we will
ever send you.
That is a promise.


So if nothing else, remember this -
to make money without working for it just
send an email with the following words
in the subject line: "I do not want to work" to:


zsuccesswithouteffort@yahoo.com

and we will email you back with the
website that gives you information
on the best of both worlds -
a way to make money without having to work.


We look forward to hearing from you.



In all seriousness,


Low Pressure Associates

Lame Sites for 5/12

Marfa Lights Party Pooper! -- Oh man, this dude just totally bummed me out (almost as much as the Spurs did tonight!). He's totally squashed my hypothesis that the Marfa Lights in Marfa, Texas, are swamp gas! He says they're just headlights. And he has a link to a scientific study done with airplanes and GPS to back it up. What a bummer. I wanted to go the Marfa and see the lights and be mystified! Now I'm not going!! Hey by the way if you think this guy is full of crap, like I do, send him some hate email, I think he really appreciates it.

I Hate the Lakers.Com -- All I can say is the San Antonio Spurs should be a hockey team so they don't have to play that stupid fourth quarter. Even though the Spurs blow at the end of games, the Lakers still suck for beating them!!

The Lakers are Losers -- This guy is a damn genius. He just made my night and tomorrow too. This is some totally true stuff. Man I want to read his hate mail. He must get buckets of it. I love this guy!

Odd Sites for 5/9

Saw most of Spider-Man tonight, but the Green Goblin got the best of my 5 yo son. It was pretty cool. I liked watching him swing down the streets of Manhattan and brood on a gargoyle on the Chrysler Building--the coolest building in the world!

Spider-man Hype -- The movie's great now check out the hype. Want to know what the movie grossed today, it's here!

Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends -- A nice Spidey site with some good links for more spider-man explorations.

Where's Bill Walton, 30 games in 30 days -- If you love the basketball playoffs, check out Bill Walton's travels across the country celebrating this great game. Go Spurs Go!!!

Odd Sites for 5/8

Okay I know it's been like a decade since I posted anything but I've been at the beach in Alabama and well I had a lotta stuff to do. There was the big Kentucky Derby Party at Orange Beach, which I went to via ferry across Mobile Bay with the Confederate Army (there was a battle of Mobile Bay reenactment that day). I was very careful not to let my Union--I mean Yankee roots show too strong. I avoided discussing my homesteading days in Minneapolis, Chicago and Brooklyn. I was very happy to be sporting Texas license plates. Aside from my brush with the enemy, I had sand castles to build, kites to fly, oysters to eat, a side trip to New Orleans--with some damn fine food. And what trip to the beach would be complete without watching at least 15 episodes of Sponge Bob! So you see how it would have been a superhuman feat to update this site and send out my newsletter. I'm glad you understand.

And P.S.-- Stefanie (one monster drummer and 2nd grade teacher) had her baby via C-Section and she and Baxter are doing fine. And so is Andy!

IT Anthems -- Some great--cheesy--motivational anthems and theme songs to stir your heart from the titans of tech.

Deconstructing Subway Ads -- The fine folks at Corporate Mofo critique the ads on the NYC Subway.

Okay okay I know this is only two. I think I got too much sun at the beach. All I'm doing is staring at the screen thinking weird thoughts and not searching for the little nuggets of goo that litter the web like my son's mouse's little turds litter the coffee table right now! Damn I even took a nap and slammed two diet pepsis and I'm still Lobotomy Joe.

Apple Sucks: Manifesto -- Okay here's one. This is kind of how I'm feeling now as I type away on my old Dell laptop instead of my fancy new Apple G4. The Dell is way faster at doing anything and about 4 years older.

Odd Sites for April 29

Zippo Tricks Hall-of-Fame -- Okay this site is pretty sweet! A collection of the best Zippo lighter tricks. Video clips included so this site's an added bonus with that hi-speed connection.

The Osbournes' Hairstyles All The Rage -- And presenting the latest entrant in the Please Help These People Department.

Chia Puberty -- Personally I think this one is dumb, but I know some people will get a laugh, and hey, dumb is fun!

Jello Aquarium -- I'm drinking beer with my friends this afternoon and we don't want to watch basketball and wondering what to do. Oh hey, I have an idea...

9-11 Pentagon Crash Alternate Theories -- The beauty of the web is that people can speak their mind and it's up to us to decide what we believe. There's been some alternate theories about the 9-11 Pentagon crash. Whether or not you think it unpatriotic to question something like this, it's intriguing reading.

Inspirational Sports Statues -- I heard these are being used in treatment centers for teenagers for inspiration.
