Football??? Newcastle 3-2 Sunderland

By Marc • Oct 23rd, 2005 • Category: Sports, the Weirdo

I sometimes forget that I have a news feed coming in from BBC news. Sometimes it really is a cause for confusion. But I wish someone would explain to the British that the name if this game is actually soccer. Football is played with a ball that isn’t round…

Torchwood, A Spin Off of the new Doctor Who

By Marc • Oct 20th, 2005 • Category: Pop Culture, the Geek

One of the coolest things about the new season of Doctor Who was the character Captain Jack Sparrow. He’s similar to Malcolm Reynolds on Firefly, or more Similar to what Han Solo should have been.
Well, the bad news is it doesn’t look like he’ll be back with the Doctor anytime soon. The good [...]

Here’s the story of a woman in Tulsa that bought her husband a used Memory Stick for his PlayStation Portable. They later found a bunch of pornographic movies on it. I wouldn’t be suprise if some sicko did this on purpose. But, what if some kid had gotten the stick instead?

I’m a whinny little brat…..

By Marc • Oct 20th, 2005 • Category: Pop Culture, the Geek

HM…So I took this quiz to see which sci-fi/fantasy character I am. It claims I am Luke Skywalker from Star Wars. I’m not so sure.

Boldly striving to overcome the darkness both in this world and within yourself, you are righteously devoted to forging your own destiny.
It’s your choice, but I warn you not [...]

Suzette had this movie in her queue. I picked it up from he mail box when I came home around lunchtime. Since I had been at the office since 0300 (yes, that’s 3am to you non-former-military types), I had my excuse not to watch it with her and took a nap. All [...]

Since I had to be at work at 0200 (that’s two am for all you non-former military types), I thought this was an appropriate subject to post one. The article I read really seem to be mostly common sense of the type that never comes to you unless someone spells it out.

By Marc • Oct 17th, 2005 • Category: the Weirdo

OK…First off I have to tell you something personal. It’s just that my wife uses the phrase “wee wee” when she’s talking about going to the bathroom to do “#1″. I know that seems a little weird that I would tell you that, but there is a reason!

PALM DESERT, Calif. - Michelle Wie’s pro debut made her look like an amateur Sunday when she was disqualified for taking a bad drop from the bushes in the third round of the Samsung World Championship. Talk about a rude welcome less than two weeks after turning pro.

The race riots in Ohio, or how gang members gave the racist scum what they wanted.

By Marc • Oct 16th, 2005 • Category: In Other News...., the Ranter

I just don’t understand the mentality of the rioters in the recent incident in Toledo. Don’t they know this is exactly what the racist scum wanted? Or to quote Toledos mayor Jack Ford,
“It’s exactly what they wanted,” Ford said of the group that planned the march, which was canceled because of the rioting.
