It’s over….

By Marc • Mar 31st, 2005 • Category: Satan Laughs

Terri’s execution is complete. May God have mercy on us all.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon them.
May the souls of the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.

Too bad there’s no justice in Florida.

I never thought I would say this, but three cheers for Rev. Jackson…….



Hunger?

By Marc • Mar 29th, 2005 • Category: In My Mail, ProLife, the Church

I got this in my email yesterday…… It’s just a bunch of words, but it really makes you think about current events.
Here’s a riddle for you:
If it happens to a dog, it’s cruelty.
If it happens to a child, it’s abuse.
If it happens to a prison inmate, it’s cruel and unusual punishment.
If it happens in [...]



Marc’s new iPod

By Marc • Mar 28th, 2005 • Category: the Geek

Well, I broke down bought one of those little Mac gadgets. So far, I am very happy with it. I’ve setup a few podcasts to keep track of and I’ve loaded it with all the music I want with me away from home. I’m currently using iPodder for podcasts.
I’ve only [...]



It should be “Be like Captain Picard”

By Marc • Mar 28th, 2005 • Category: the Geek

But who really wants to be like Captain Picard?????

 
Engadget kind of dropped the ball on this one. Captain kirk of course used the flip top communicators in the series. Then, in some of the early movies he used a wrist bracelet. I’m sure that was due to a corrupt defense [...]

Happy Easter everyone! No more posts until tomorrow. I’ve not posted during the holy days in honor of our Lord’s death and resurrection.



Poison Your Mother-in-Law …?

By Marc • Mar 24th, 2005 • Category: In My Mail, the Family

Now I love my mother in law with all my heart. And I know Suzette loves my mom. But I also know that not always the case. This is a cute little story with a moral that could really be applied to any relationship.
A long time ago in China, a girl named [...]

I have a Yahoo! alert setup to send the days weather forecast for Nashville to my phone and email. Here’s the thing though….This is the part of the forecast for today:

 
 
 
 
 
What I want to know is, how can the low be 51, when the temp right now is 44. I was [...]



Brothers in Arms is working now!

By Marc • Mar 22nd, 2005 • Category: the Geek

Down there a ways, I mentioned I got an error when trying to play the game “Brothers in Arms”. Here’s what I said:
I clicked on “play game” on the little control panel that runs when you insert the CD. I get a message saying “Please insert the correct CD-ROM, select OK and restart application”.
According [...]



Funny Story

By Marc • Mar 21st, 2005 • Category: In My Mail, the Weirdo

I’ve got a funny story to tell. Since Suzette is out of town and none of us feel like watching me single handedly keep McDonald’s in business, I went to eat dinner at my mom’s house last night. Bobby (my step dad) made his world famous chicken. It was a really good [...]



MSM continues to distort Terri’s situation…

By Marc • Mar 21st, 2005 • Category: ProLife, Satan Laughs, the Ranter

OK…..Here we go. As if it wasn’t bad enough that the news wires persistently call this a “right-to-die” case, these “journalists” are obviously promoting their own agenda by continuing to distort the truth. It’s no wonder so many people are against saving Terri’s life when they are getting fed crap like this:
Schiavo’s husband, [...]



Death to Terri!

By Marc • Mar 19th, 2005 • Category: ProLife, Satan Laughs, the Church

That’s the slogan of Judge Greer. On his order, Terri’s feeding tube has been removed and she will slowly starve to death, which is one of the cruelest most inhumane ways to kill someone. Yet Judge Greer has ordered it be done to Terri even though she has not been convicted of any [...]

Site Update, part dalawa

By Marc • Mar 18th, 2005 • Category: the Geek, the Site

OK…..I’ve got the new theme on the site. As you can see, it’s a mod of Kubrick for Wordpress. I’m still working on it, but I felt it was at a point where it would look nice on the site. I thought that until I actually uploaded it and opened it in [...]



The best BBQ is not in Memphis???

By Marc • Mar 18th, 2005 • Category: Marc, River City

I know I’m probably going to get in a lot of trouble for this, but here goes. I have a new favorite BBQ place. It’s a chain and they don’t have a location in Memphis. It’s Famous Dave’s. I think the problem with Memphis is that you basically have to kinds [...]



Hootie does Burger King?

By Marc • Mar 18th, 2005 • Category: Pop Culture, the Weirdo

Is there anyone out that that’s seen the new Burger King commercials with Darius Rucker and not been totally creeped out by them? As if that Burger King guy with the over-sized head wasn’t enough, they’ve dressed Mr. Rucker up in rhinestones and a cowboy hat that just drips of “gay Roy Rodgers”. [...]



New game Brothers in Arms

By Marc • Mar 18th, 2005 • Category: the Ranter

This game has sent me into a state of pissed of the likes off which haven’t been seen in years. I installed the game with no problem. I clicked on “play game” on the little control panel that runs when you insert the CD. I get a message saying “Please insert the [...]
