Bloodied but unbowed

There May Be Gems in the Dust
(Or... Maybe Not!)

Hey, if I had a scanner, I'd put a picture in here, but for now tip your head sideways...

Silted Up - I8NYC - Barney Speaks

Wait! It's more really bad poetry!
This time it's an ode to my love life...

Alas!
Alack!
I lack
a lass.

I believe everything was created for a reason.
For example, the liver was created so that Mankind
would have a word for things which are liver-shaped.

A New

I quit my day job
To follow my true calling:
Poet Laureate

Today's message from the NRA:

Guns don't kill people; 11-year-olds kill people.

Musings of a Single Guy in his 30's
(written by me unless somebody else got to it first)

Spring has sprung,
Fall fell;
Another year gone:
Aw, Hell.

A Haiku to my newly installed
Central Air Conditioning...

Air conditioning
No longer sweat like a pig
Wonderful device

Wait! Wait! I wrote another one:

Air conditioning
Electric bill goes sky high
But it works--no sweat!

The Web is a thousand page book with a million page index.

Everybody wants money but nobody wants to pay for it.

It seems like every time I open a container of food these days,
it has "Sorry, you are not a winner" written on the inside of it.

Hey, did I ask?!?

Top Seven Things I Learned From Watching "Godzilla" Last Night

By Dan Morenus

7.An animal the size of a 15-story building can walk on its hind legs, run, and jump without collapsing under its own weight. The square-cube rule is a fairy tale.
6.When instructed to drop an LGB (laser guided bomb), a fighter pilot will instead fire a harpoon missile.
5.The US military doesn't care about collateral damage, particularly in New York City.
4.A reptile sufficiently cold blooded that a heat-seeking missile cannot find it is capable of running and swimming for extended periods at night and can breath fire to defend itself.
3.A cloud of helicopters can fire through each other without danger of hitting each other.
2.Attack helicopters can't fly above rooftop levels, either to hunt more efficiently for a Very Large Animal, or to evade him when he's chasing them. It is necessary for them to fly between the buildings at high speeds.
1.The military shouldn't bother buying HUM-VEEs; New York taxi cabs are far more durable. They can endure flying through the air, being repeatedly kicked, bounced off the ground, picked up, and chewed on by a 150-foot reptile, and still be capable of high-performance driving.

PS: On the whole, the movie was very strong on some key points: there was a plausible (by movie standards) explanation of the origin of Godzilla; Godzilla's character was the most fully developed of the movie; and Godzilla was actually cast in a fairly sympathetic light. I was rooting for the monster--to heck with NYC.

I Like the GeoCities Concept

OK, this looks like brown nosing, but the service is already free so what do I have to gain? I just think that the whole idea of throwing resources open to use by thousands of people will bring out a lot of good content (along with plenty of crap). And these guys spent some money on the idea, too. Since they provide 2 Meg per person, we're talking 7.6 Gigs for RainForest alone. This is one of the smaller of 30 neighborhoods, which at the moment range in size up to 26000 residents. And they're pretty responsive to their tenants, I've noticed.
