Guess I have time for some news to toss in, it being so slow I've taken but one call today. And the world never sleeps, even if I do. So, off to Israel we go.
From the Jerusalem Post, an analysis of the Syrian response to the Pope's compliments for moderate statements regarding the Israelis and a request to put aside differences and try to negotiate peace. President Assad's reply, however, was nowhere near moderate - a desire to return the land to its "original owners" and the "return of refugees". Read as, we want to push the Israelis right out of Israel, and right into the Med. Oh yes - he also manages to bring up the ancient "Christ-killer" line, and tagging on "Attempted Mohammed-killer" as well, in the SAME statement. No reply from the pope, I think he's feigning political deafness. Honestly, with lines like that coming from Syria, all of Saddam Hussein's famous commentary about annihilating the Jews, Yassir Arafat's constant cries of "Peace, peace!" while calling for "Days of Hate" and such, and (as mentioned previously) enticing Pally kids to go attack Israeli machinegun positions with rocks and sticks so he can look good on the news when Israelis have to kill a few of them...is it ANY WONDER why the fighting goes on to this day? After all, these speeches and comments are being made by ranking government officials, in public, as part of government policy - not just media babble and propaganda.
If the damn ragheads weren't so hypocritical and obsessed about wiping out the Israeli nation (attempting not once, not twice, not three times, but FIVE times since 1948 to exterminate the country - and failing miserably every time) then perhaps there COULD be peace. Except for the Osirak strike and a skirmish with Egypt started for political reasons (co-sponsored by the English to give them and the UN control of the Suez), Israel HAS NOT made offensive moves against its neighbors. The IDF does have a track record of absolutely whaling the tar out of any arab invasion attempt, and has had several chances in the past few wars to take Damascus, and seriously expand into Jordan, Egypt, and other Arab nations. They haven't. They really don't want to. They very distinctly do not like their Arab neighbors, but the Knesset isn't out screaming for annihilation of the arabs. If they wanted to, they could - EASILY, and clear everything as far as Iran with the nuclear stockpiles at Dimona and other locations. Wind patterns blow to the east out there, and would take any radioactive fallout and blow it across arab lands, while Israel gets nice fresh air from the Mediterranean. No, Israel is not a perfect country - they have had their screw ups, and they have made some unpleasant choices. But...looking at some more speeches made by Syrian govt. officials - Aside from [Syrian President Assad's] fire-breathing rhetoric at the last Arab League meeting, he referred to Israeli society as "more racist than the Nazis." In addition, Syria's veteran defense minister, Mustafa Tlas, has long held that Jews murder Christians to use their blood in making Passover matza. And that's not just propaganda, that's their honest expressed world view, even to people like the western media...or even the Pope. If you want to be a good neighbor, don't light the proffered olive branch on fire and throw it back in someone's face.
And it appears the Israelis are tired of that happening, because they not only bagged a major Islamic Jihad terrorist (NOT with 30 rounds, that's a complete crock of camel $hit no matter how loud the Pallies scream it) but also did a number on the Pally intelligence HQ. Tawfik Tiwari, Intel Chief of the West Bank area, was targeted along with his headquarters under accuzation of organizing terrorism in the area. Not sure if he's the one, but someone's lighting a fire under the Palestinians because they're still shooting at Israeli soldiers at various locations (hey, this time they got guns, probably got tired of reenacting Pickett's Charge), lobbing a couple mortars into farms, and shooting RPGs at army posts. Another hot weekend in the Promised Land, King Abdullah's Foreign Mercenary Supply Incorporated must be doing some good business.
Israel is tired of the Palestinian lies and broken agreements, and is reconsidering renewing security talks with the Palestinian Authority. See above. *shrug* If the Arabs don't want peace, now matter how much they say it, then they're gonna be looking down the wrong end of some major military hardware. What're the Israelis going to do, play peacenik and not do anything when the Palestinians break the agreement? That'll just end in the mass-slaughter of Israelis all over the place. Neither side will compromise...gonna be interesting.

Friday night Ragabash and I hit Caesar's Palace, and they had a very VERY cool old-west store - complete with antique firearms. So help me, they had a VINTAGE Colt Single-Action Army in excellent condition, with a 17XX serial number - FIRST production year, IIRC. The Single Action Army is THE quintessential "cowboy gun" and because of its solid, trustworthy design was the defining handgun since its inception in the 1860s. For only $16,000 no less. *cringe* but still, considering EVERYWHERE those guns were (Hell, George Patton carried one when he hunted down Pancho Villa) I want one.
Meril, it's okay, I'm dumb too but I'm learning quickly. It'd just be a bit more expensive because you'd need a randomizer chip plus 1 chip for each saying...though Randy's not here yet so I can't find out just how much use we can put them to. Maybe we can get the end of the speech in. And, you've never seen ANY Alan Rickman movie?

Tech Report...
The previously mentioned print-buffer-server-control issue has already spawned new hack tools - and a patch from MS that they're begging everyone put on. It's gonna be interesting, if The Reg is right and there are several million servers out there that are vulnerable.
I'd call that a serious boot failure in the brain. Computer expert kills self and one other in headon crash in England, apparently as a form of suicide. The guy was leaving quite a few messages on the final run, and seems to have opted for the Egyptian tradition of suicide when he rammed the other motorists' car.
Coming on the heels of the VERY interesting AOL/Compaq/HP coalition story, now both Compaq and HP have dropped the Unisys ES7000 server - which was effectively limited to Windows only. After HP's 6-month partnership with Unisys, they dropped them last month after selling not a single unit. Compaq has done better, but has failed to make it out of the single-digit level. Could this be a trend towards the harsher aspects of the memo - dump anything to do with Windows and use a different OS and system? After all, this is the mainframe that MS claims will run Windows reliably and stably. And there also is a notable trend towards the Mighty L, as well - IBM has added Linux partitioning to the AS/400 series machines. So does this rock tossed through Windows mean a serious shift in the game, with a new coalition really ready to take on the Empire, or is it just simple politics and jockeying for position and profit?
And there's a new toy for all digital camera lovers. (DON'T say it, you know who you are.) New CD-R/RW camera will accept an 8cm disc with 150mb storage, with two options for resolution - 2 million or 3 million pixels. *BIG photos, NICE quality* It's also video capable - 15 to 240 seconds thereof, depending on quality.

Japan Report...
This is interesting. Cray Computers filed a dumping suit against NEC and several other Japanese companies that resulted in prices of the Japanese hardware literally skyrocketing after tarriffs of up to 450% were levied on the merchandise. Well...Cray partnered with NEC in February. Kinda annoying that your new partner's getting jacked by the taxes you had put on it, right? Well, that's no bigs. Under a plea BY CRAY, the Commerce Department has removed the tarriffs on the Japanese hardware. Business is business - so why does it have the power to influence the government so?
N. Korean leader's son kicked out of Japan before he got to accomplish his mission - going to Disneyland. It would seem that though access to the Magic Kingdom is quite easy to come by, it's not a good idea to forge your passports to enter the country it resides in.

Tokyo declares war on crows! Apparently the garbage situation has reached a point where the crows are everywhere, and are now attacking people. I'm reminded of a quote from The Mote In God's Eye - "Crazy Eddie does the wrong thing for the right reason. When garbage is everywhere and 100% of the employment is hauling garbage away, Crazy Eddie leads a workers' strike for better living conditions." Perhaps Japan's getting near its own Crazy Eddie time. As such, I would point out that a fusion reactor would make a FIIIIINE recycler. But for now, they're going to slaughter crows. Seishirou fans, you have our pity.
Last but not least, Tokyo's Coolest Stores.
Calls Of The Year, 2000:
First Place: Here at work we have software that can be used with a special printer. This printer is used to print out a label. It requires installing a driver and our special software. We also have special books you can fill out your information with, and use those instead if you don't have a computer. I recieved a call some time back from someone who called in with a printer problem. It was pretty typical, and quickly solved by clearing the printer memory. The stickler was...he wasn't using our software. Didn't need our software. He had one of our books...and instead of using the pre-prepared label that COMES WITH the book...he was using a DOS command that printed a VALID LABEL and serial number on the printer. That's right, our salesman gave him a book and a printer and said Happy Trails. And he had been using this system for a month. Without any problem. I ph33r.
Runner Up: I recieved a call from someone who needed to have one of our computer TECHNICIANS come out and use their computer, and process all their labels for the month. I began to explain that they don't do that, that it might have been one of our salesmen who had shown them how to do it...but no, the caller insists, it's technician Someone Orother, and they need to come out because they got 400 labels wrong. Okay, says I, and check their call history - good god, she's right. He really does come out there at the start of each month, and he really does process all their packages for the ENTIRE month. Technician dispatched - not to FIX something, not to show the caller how to do something...but to do it FOR them. Thank you for calling.
On that note, here's a couple good places to go for tech support horror stories - Computer Stupidities and Tech Tales. Happy reading.
From Israel...Bush meets with Peres and asks a VERY good question - instead of protecting their children and raising them in the OTHER Arab traditions, why do Palestinian parents send their kids as suicide bombers against the Israelis? Also covered a lot of other things - desalinization projects for the Israelis to irrigate the land, chances of peace with Egypt and Jordan, and quelling the violence with the Pallies.

(he was a major hit at the dance) Oh yeah - he actually HAD the sephiroth sword too - he custom machined a 6' long katana out of aircraft aluminum, and got permission to use it. The damn thing weighed like 3 pounds and it WHIPPED around onstage, just like the video game. THAT was kewl. Sadly, he never showed up again. Umm..."I have three difference objectives for today:" - *counts* 1...2...3...4?

Happy Cinco, boys & girls. Don't get too drunk.
Okay, Bird...*l* I'll try not to confuse you. I'll have to find a copy of the Koo Koo Ka Chu song, perhaps...I'll filk it up. ^_^ I've done that before - when I build models, I attain this zenlike state...I looked outside and saw blue sky, and thought to myself...gee...I've been sitting here for 12 hours straight...perhaps it's time to EAT SOMETHING and go to bed. I know what it's like for the late-night thing. How's the ankle doing now? And I'm SURE you're not abusing them, after all, you chalk it up to free cuddles when you get carried around, ne? Okay, The Story Of Ed:
Ed Cantrell, like I said, was a sheriff, and Mike Rosa was one of his officers, who apparently had been paying off informants with drugs from the evidence room, and been playing on the wrong side of the line. Cantrell went to have a talk with Rosa, and took along a pair of cops with him. During the talk, Rosa became more and more belligerent, and had his drink in his lap - leaving his hands free. During the talk, Rosa becomes silent, stares hard at Cantrell, and whispers the word "motherf*cker", and arches his back forward. Rosa's gun is carried in a hip holster, by arching back he has now cleared the weapon in preparation to draw. Rosa does not count on one thing - Cantrell has practiced his draws for decades, and has a lightning fast reaction time. Cantrell, in the time he sees Rosa move for his gun, draws, aims, and shoots, because he IS that fast. However, the two officers who were with Cantrell were not keeping an eye on things in the car, and missed it - Cantrell goes up on trial for murder of a cop, and in the newspapers gets painted as a villain who gunned down a saint cop. During the trial the police who were with him even gave testimony that he told them to plant a gun on the dead man. Not to mention, Rosa never even had the chance to touch his gun. Cantrell's lawyer, a fellow shooter and a genius, picked apart carefully and thoroughly the entire court case against him, even the testimony from the officers - "Did he REALLY order you to plant your gun? Or did he tell you to throw the gun over here?" "Yeah, I think he said that." "Well...isn't it standard policy at an officer-involved shooting to give all firearms to the supervising officer?" "Uh, yeah..." "SO isn't it possible he was following procedure rather than trying to plant evidence?" "Come to think of it...yeah." At that point, the jury was convinced...except for one thing. How could they believe that Cantrell saw Rosa move for his gun, recognize the threat, draw the gun, aim it, and put a round between his eyes?
Enter Bill Jordan, one of the GODS of shooting. Cantrell's lawyer (whose name escapes me, I can't find the story) arranged a demonstration in the court to prove it. Using a pair of revolvers inspected by the judge and jury, and then loaded with blank rounds, Jordan holsters his gun and hands the other to a deputy. He tells the deputy to point the 2nd gun at him and shoot the instant he sees Jordan move. The deputy nods, and Jordan goes on talking for a moment, and then suddenly rips his gun free and pulls the trigger literally before the stunned (and quite possibly needing a change of underwear) deputy gets a chance to react. Jordan goes back on the stand, and admits that he's timed at being able to decide, draw, acquire, and shoot in a mere 0.27 seconds, compared with the normal human 1/2 second to merely recognize - let alone any other reaction. "And what about Sheriff Cantrell?" "Ed? Well, I reckon he's a mite bit faster'n me." The jury took just one hour to acquit on all charges. You CAN get that good - it's just a result of a LOT of practice. Cantrell spent time every day, just practicing his draws. Just practice.
Dini, Alan came up with the same idea last nite (Tickle Me Joker)...I personally like the idea of Tickle Me Predator...and in conversation with Dora we came up with a bunch of Sci-Fi Tickle Me dolls...I'll let her post the results. Pippi Ninjastockings, that's funny.
Genetically altered children have already been born in the US. Using mitochondrial DNA from another parent would continue to get passed down through the females of a genetic path. And here's the question - how much effect does mitochondrial DNA have on the formation of a fetus? Could you, suppose, get a friend who's a scientist to share some genes, and raise a smarter child? Find a woman who is strikingly beautiful, and raise a Good-Looking Child? The big question, is, whose child is it? Especially if you're trying to influence development of the child with someone else's genetics beyond the mother's capability - then what? You could make the argument of nuclear DNA contributors - but what about sperm or egg donors? Wouldn't that give the donor rights to the child? Things that need to be thought about. That's it for the Morning Update, though it's gonna be slow at work so I'll be posting much. ^_^

AOL seems to be freaking out over the new Windows XP, which seems to come bundled with its own instant messenger software, wallet, calendars, and a lot of other things AOL provides as part of its service. AOL is quite obviously threatened by this move, since it WILL preempt their service. Most people are afraid of computers and don't want to make changes or install anything new - so they use Microsoft. Look at how prevalent IE is compared to Netscape. The memo, if it's legit, appears to have 3 major choices - Accept MS dominance and try to leverage some sort of presence (default apps, replacing desktops, etc), Stall XP deployment by badmouthing MS, or flat out create a brand new or modified OS. And...OOOOH, check this out - Netscape, AIM, Spinner & WinAmp bundled and established as defaults - LIKE THAT WILL EVER HAPPEN. Some of the memo's other requirements (sorry, "minimum goals") are very interesting, if the "Designed for Microsoft Windows" thing is true, it may be some sort of new logo that may be force-integrated with other programs...and if they crash, oh well, guess you should buy the MS program instead of "unreliable" 3rd party software. And no way in hell is Active Desktop going to be defaulted off...it's interesting. Glad Chii-chan's a future Linux box. I feel a war starting, and this might be something good - hopefully, AOL will put out its own distro of Linux, AND SUPPORT IT - and work out some sort of open-source agreement, to let anyone who knows what they're doing solve bugs and flaws FREE. Gamma-testing of software, by anyone who wants, for free. Who wouldn't?

Tis the internet, who cares what you look like. (in my own experience, THANK GOD) Although I have this mental image of Sam-kun reenacting the infamous scene in the X movie when Kanoe and Fuuma walk past that bum... Ooh.

Yeah, fortunately there haven't been any accidental shootings by the cops, but it IS a blurry area. And, like you said, how open to interpretation the laws are. I'll tell you the Ed Cantrell story after I get home late tonight, but basically here's a teaser - Ed Cantrell, sheriff of his town, has a meeting with a cop going bad (Mike Rosa). During this meeting, he shoots and kills the officer with a shot 1/4" left of exactly between the eyes, claiming that Rosa was going for his gun when he drew and fired - Rosa's hands were empty and his gun was still holstered on his hip. As Paul Harvey would say...I'll tell you The Rest Of The Story shortly.

NnM-chan, 's okay ^_^ I figured you were off skinning like mad or doing something with Gen-chan ^_^ but you're still missed when you're not around. *laughs* So you don't like clothes shopping, that doesn't make you a freak. Just keeps you from being a vacuous, vapid girl with no mind...hush now, you think "The Gap" does NOT refer to something between the ears? And, I know someone who blogs who's younger'n you are. YOU ARE OLD!!! Hee. Oh yeah - due to assorted delays and financial difficulties (read - taking dog to vet twice)...*laughs* of course I'd like. ^_^ I'll have to leave around 9:45-10 to get to work so be up early. :p *reads pro-GC rant* you go girl. *L* I see nothing for a "profiles" section...
YEAH! *momentary brainstorm* okay, imagine this - you have a little plastic plate in the bottom of the ferret. This plate is hinged & spring loaded (or motorized?) and when it releases, it shoots downwards - like those spring-in-the-air toys. Rig that unit into the belly of a white plush ferret. Now replace the eyes of said ferret with little infrared recievers, and get a remote control that works on the same freq. Gut the remote and only use one button and the chips, then install that into a plastic wand toy. Wire the button into the wand, wire up the ferret - hook the infrared recievers into the controller chip, and wire the controller to the motorized flapper (needs to be motorized to be strong enough), so that when you point the wand at the ferret, and press the button, the ferret jumps in the air.

MAN, I am bored. I have discovered that it's possible to make a pen fly by snapping it along the circumference rather than the length - not the flip-the-pen-across-the-room thing. It gets some good air and does a neat helicopter motion. This is fun.

Okay, more on the James Trafficant indictment story. Trafficant, long-time Representative from Ohio famous for lines like "Well, beam me up, Mr. Speaker", is charged with four counts of Bribery, two for Tax Evasion, and a quartet of singles for Obstruction of Justice, Seeking Bribes, Conspiracy to Defraud the Government, and Racketeering - 10 counts total, not bad for only 9 terms. He's been before a jury before for bribery, in 1983 he was acquitted of the charge when he was a sheriff in OH. Here's a VERY interesting question - what about the people who he bribed, and who he attempted to get bribes from? Who are they, and why were the bribes passed on? As a very wise man once said, "Follow the money." Who else should be up before a grand jury, and just what were they doing that required the bribe?

Ahh...jackbooted thugs strike again in the US, raiding a relatively famous tax-protestor's home. They went and kicked this guy's door in when his nanny was home with a 3yr old child, and OH golly gee, noone thought to get a warrant - but they still left with all kinds of private property. At the same time, they conducted an armed raid on his electronics store, with a misdated warrant that's missing pages - specifically, the charge for the warrant and the probable cause. The DDA on the case contradicted himself and said that he didn't know what Jesson (the civilian) was talking about, and also said that the missing pages missing were relating to a completely different subject. I'm not too sure about how the law works, but I'd think that if it were part of a warrant, it should be included...and if it dealt with anything else, why should it even have been apparently referred to in the rest of the warrant? And here's a point to consider - noone, not even the DA handling the case, would tell him what the charges were. Not to mention the seizures of $20,000 IN CASH from his business (he'll never see it again, any bets that was split up by the raid team?), an unspecified weapon, and a coin collection - none of which, we might add, were A) in the warrant or B) had anything to do with proving any charges - that are STILL yet unspecified. Let's see, that's two articles of the Federal constitution right there - unlawful search and seizure, and knowing who your accuser is and what said accusation is. Jesson recently got $217,000 in a tax refund from the IRS for 1997-1999, and apparently asked the Kommiefornia franchise tax board for a refund. This was their reply.
And another story featuring gun-wielding thugs kicking in doors, this time from the other side. 3 armed men broke into an apartment in GA, and started shooting. One apartment resident was hit, his brother returned fire and wounded two of them whom police later captured. AGAIN - firearms used by LAW-ABIDING citizens save lives. If you take firearms away from LAW-ABIDING citizens, this man, his brother, and his brother's girlfriend would BE DEAD NOW.

Gillian, cool background - I want!
Kristina, no I haven't. And, going back to the fuel thing...it's important out here, because Vegas gets its gas via a pipeline from SD. If the power grids get shut down (as part of a Stage 3) then so does that gas pipe. That's the only source of supply we have, since it's too far to truck in from LA (280 freeway miles, not counting substreets there and here). And the official estimates are that once the grid goes off, the fuel stops flowing, and all the gas stations are topped off...in 18 hours, they're empty. And when you consider there's fucking NOTHING for over a hundred miles in either direction of Vegas (Baker doesn't count), gas is VERY important in an emergency. Capitalism IS shaky internally, yes, since it's based on public opinion - but it does work and is a fairly stable. All I can say, AGAIN, is what pure idiot hypocrisy. It's my personal opinion, thus substantiated, that a decent chunk of the liberal left does so to look good or be trendy - hence the SUVs, and the lack of examination as to just what they're protesting. But, they feel good doing it, and they do have the right to be silly. ^_^ And Greenpeace amuses me, chaining themselves to ship propellors and occupying not one but two oil rigs recently. And, as for Global Warming...y'know, there's some studies out there now saying that Global Warming will actually manifest itself as a Cooling effect.

Bird-san... hoo boy I have a lot to dig through. *L* Let's see. That's one vote for Sam-kun to do The Kanoe Line...umm, what IS Nightwalker? Enlighten me please. ^_^ Yeah, well, the comment came after discussion of the new Spent Casings layout (yes I said new layout)...anyone who follows my gun rants would enjoy this. Mojo Nixon is God. ^_^ Yeah, probably DID bruise the bone, just stay off it a lot, icepack it, and consider a pair of slippers next time. *L*
Regarding the police shooting, yes, it is - they can only shoot if they are presented with an IMMEDIATE threat - if he is running away from them, he is not an immediate threat, they simply have to chase him down and tackle him. And it's INCREDIBLY stupid that they shot at him on the run - try, as a test, running down the street (once you can walk again) and throwing a ball to someone. VERY difficult, and that's a relatively gross muscle action. Try the fine action of locating a target, tracking him, sighting in on the gun on a very fast moving target, and holding those sights long enough for a clean trigger break. Not possible. The police are also charged with protecting the innocent - firing in a general direction down an alleyway is more likely to put a bullet in an apartment or someone's car, which kinda misses the "protect" mark. And there are some DAMNED accurate cops (Ed Cantrell comes to mind, if you like I'll tell his story), but you're right - the majority of police do NOT know how to shoot very well. I've been stuck on the wrong side of those guns before, and we were more afraid of the damn cop shooting us by accident than anything else. (This cop was in the news the prior year for shooting her partner during a robbery, and was known for hating guns and not wanting to use them. Oh yeah, we LOVE our police.) Then we had the Air Scouts on our ass too, Sgts. Clodt and Hopper (no joke, we called 'em Clodhopper from then on) scared me more (Hopper nearly put a round into his partner while his partner was frisking us, we all had visions of skeletons in the desert) but I digress. Noone - except for MAYBE Cantrell, Jordan, Leatham, and a few others could accurately deliver fire while running at full speed after a fleeing subject.
You said it first, and got people curious after watching me attempt to crush my brain. About the capital punishment, well, we're kind and gentle - cyanide gas tablets, lethal injection, The Chair...how about the nice fine countries that force schoolchildren to build fireworks in school, because everyone contributes to the Classess Society...and then shrugs and says Oh Well when the fireworks explode and kill 60+ kids? Or countries where the *ahem* disfigurement of female anatomy is common because girls are worthless except for kicking out more kids, BOYS are the ones you want. If you're kick someone off a Human Rights council, don't do it for bullshit like building an ABM system or "hurting the environment". (If they want us to stop our big polluting plants NOW and not care about the consequences, hell with that. There's enough 3rd World countries on this planet without adding this one.)

HAH! The US has been voted off the UN Human Rights Commission, most likely because we exited the Kyoto accords (so that we could generate electricity properly and save our own ass), and oh yeah - we want a defence against nuclear missiles. We DON'T want our people to be massacred by the millions, by either a foreign power or a rogue nation. Gee, this council on Human Rights includes such FINE bastions of civil liberties as Cuba, China, and Libya. If the UNHRC is going to get taken over by the little vermin nations that need a major smackdown, and don't want us around...I say fuck 'em. We'll deal with our friends, and only our friends - UK, Taiwan, Israel, Canada, Germany, and Japan.

Conversation came to a screeching halt, and we even hurt Captain Cajun's mind. Which is DIFFICULT to do, I might add. Hrmm, not circulation? that's strange then...what did you think it was? *laughs* A Tickle Me Kanoe doll, there ya go. I'll need to get one of you ladies to do the "I am a ho" line for me though...anyone want to try?
*LMAO* the California Government has been to my page. Wonder what they had to say...^_^
An interesting observation..."Men swear to keep from crying, women cry to keep from swearing."
Sure, the ChiComs are letting us examine the airplane - we just need a really fucking big extension cable. Gee, how nice and cordial of our dear friends across the Great Puddle. They know the a/c needs external power to test its equipment, but won't let us use it. Notable quote: "...it has been the Pentagon's experience that the Chinese government has an information flow problem. 'Some things get through,' he said. 'Some things don't.'" Oh, I don't think it's anything to do with the flow of information - it sure seems to flow pretty well, when it's convient or useful. Even if you're a communist, electricity is electricity. Oh yes - the secure-communications equipment that our investigation team brought over is, AND I QUOTE: "not acceptable for use by the Chinese." Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral Craig Quigley's own words...
YES! Bush sees the problem and isn't afraid to admit it - and orders federal agencies in CA to cut usage of electricity. "What people need to hear loud and clear is that we're running out of energy in America," Bush said. "And it is so important for this nation to improve its infrastructure so we can not only deliver supplies, but we need to find new supply. And I strongly believe we can do so in an environmentally friendly way." He's right. People DON'T want to hear it, because it shakes faith in the system - and the mere act of insinuating a doubt into the popular belief can lead to a massive change. When you actually look at JUST HOW MUCH your life relies on things happening with an severe urgency, it'll scare you. Electricity - Computers, traffic lights, gas stations, elevators, escalators, air conditioning, televisions and radios (and their transmitters/stations), refrigerators, microwaves...think about life in the large cities. Imagine if the electricity went out, and you were stuck walking up and downstairs in a large apartment? Couldn't get gas for your car? No a/c in summer? Got a battery powered alarm clock? Battery powered radio? Spare gasoline? Emergency supplies? California's well-known for its earthquakes - they SHOULD BE prepared. Nothing is ever permanent, not even government. Take precautions, get some emergency supplies, because you never know the future. And trusting in something to continue "just because it hasn't broken yet" is a fool's plan.
One more quote: Bush has come under heavy fire from environmental groups and some Democrats who say he has done too little to promote conservation nationally and has ignored the energy crunch in California.
Oh really. GEE, it was only a major part of his campaign, reducing reliance on foreign oil (because, again, it's not trustworthy) and getting our own supplies opened up because we are going to have a problem. Lies as truth, and truth as lies...

Woke up late, short morning update.
Damn, NASA just DOES NOT LIKE Dennis Tito...they're going on and on about how much work thousands of people have to do to protect him and how poorly trained he is...he DID go through proper cosmonaut training. Is NASA implying that our Russian co-inhabitants are poorly trained and don't know what they're doing? Admittedly, yes, he does spend much of his time on the station listening to opera tapes and staring at earth (and taping it) - but, the guys upstairs like him, he's following the rules, and not interfering. I'd say he's doing just fine, and for NASA to quit bitching, and put a positive spin on it. Many people dream of going to space, however if NASA is going to play the hurt-wounded-pride-guilt-trip game, then that's going to sour a lot of people against them. NASA ought to promote this and put a GOOD PR face on it - hell, 20 million may not be much comparitively, but it's still a chunk of change to infuse into a space program.
LA bus hijacked, then crashes and kills driver of a minivan. Taking out at least 3 parked cars, one truck, and a UPS van, and killing one person and injuring 7 more, this guy's not going to get out of the pokie for at least a couple weeks. Here's the interesting part - AS THE GUY WAS RUNNING AWAY the police were shooting at him. THIS IS NOT LEGAL. The police cannot shoot a fleeing man, this has been well established and every officer shooting should get a full review on this. What's that? Oh, they didn't hit the suspect, so it's okay? Well the bullets didn't fuckin vanish when they missed - where'd they all end up?
And, back to the South Asia Atomic Pissing Contest - India scheduled wargame exercises on the Pakistani border, but didn't tell the Pakis about it. They're going to use these wargames to prepare their troops for NBC warfare, and apparently it's a pretty big unit going to the border. Let's add in that India and Pakistan are NOT talking with each other diplomatically, and haven't been since the rash of nuclear weapons tests on both sides and then the big fight over the Kashmir province. Could prove interesting, if the Paki army gets frisky and closely investigate the Indian wargames...or if the Indians just say the Pakis did and go beat the hell out of them.

And he recommends this book - River Road Recipes too for when you can't get over there. Here's a TX reviewer's comment: I am an 11th generation Louisiana Cajun, and this book has been the benchmark in my family since it was written. We've tried nearly all the recipes, and I can't say that there's ever been a mediocre one in the bunch. Nothing's heart healthy, but if you want great food....ain't nothing better. Can't argue with that, and I might add all the reviews are 5-star.

Catsy...yeeeeaaaaah. Hmm. We took a Raging Bull revolver chambered in .454 Casull (ka-sool') to a big batch of monitors a while back. Never got pics...but here's the idea. The .454 Casull round is the single most powerful production handgun round there is, with more than TWICE the energy of a .44 magnum. It was developed to kill 3 things - Cape Buffalo (with 14" thick skulls), Alaskan King Grizzlies, and North American Buicks. (yes, you WILL put a round into an engine block)
Dora-san, I've got even BETTER articles - go look up a little town called Kennesaw, Georgia. Here's a pair of articles talking about the crime rate - show me ANY other town in the US that had only 3 murders - not 3 per year, but three murders - two with knives, one with a gun - since 1982. And it's not because noone lives there - over that time, the population has nearly tripled, from around 5000 when the law went into effect to 13000 by 1996. Some VERY hard data to show for.
Damn, it's getting windy.
Katherine, you have my sympathies...
Well. Bush takes on the Third Rail of politics, and opens a commission to look at fixing Social Security. Led by Uncle Danny Moynihan and the chief officer of AOL Time Warner, they're going to look at ways to overhaul social security. Some varied quotes...
"Social Security has become insecure," Bush told reporters at a Rose Garden news conference. "We can postpone action no longer." Bush said the formation of personal savings accounts will transform Social Security from a "government IOU" to accounts of personal ownership.
Bush said that for every retiree who receives benefits, it takes three U.S. workers to pay for those benefits.
I'm for that. Personally, I'm MORE for giving me my money BACK and not taking it out of my paycheck. But, at least I know that with this it's going in MY OWN account, and not being taken to pay for other people. Yeah, I'm selfish - but I'm busting my @$$ for it, they're not.
Democratic leaders accused the Bush administration of arranging the panel to ensure a decision that would favor the president's position.
Daschle tells reporters the committee is a "predetermined group that will be organized for a clearly desired result to privatize Social Security."
"I don't know that there's anybody who would dispute the fact that this commission is already a predetermined group that will be organized for a clearly desired result to privatize Social Security," Democratic Senate Minority leader Tom Daschle, D-South Dakota, said after the news conference.
REALLY, Tom. Gee, if a president appoints a commission to look up something, they're going to find a way to do what the president wants - what's the point of it otherwise? What, the Democrats never did the same, and ALLLLWAYS had the best interests of the US at heart since Truman left office? (ya'll had Congress for 40 years, till the mid-90s...nice work guys, NICE work.) Sadly, people who don't understand how government works are merely going to read his words and get all uppity that "Bush isn't playing fair" or whatever.
And, Tom's on record as saying this as well, on the big tax cut - "Well, it's a 22% reduction from the President's original proposal, and now we're moving in the right direction." The Democrats DO NOT want a tax cut. They would rather keep taking more and more of your money, because as far as they're concerned, it's NOT your money.
Damn. It's REALLY windy. *can feel the apartment shake*

Bird, BINGO. And let's also consider - nationally, only about 40% of firearms deaths are actual homicides or accidents - the other near 60% are suicides (12,000-18,000 in 1997). So, at most 40% of gun deaths are caused by other people. How many people killed by cars are killed by other people? Hit & Runs, drunk driving, et al. We recently had an MGM Grand executive cause an accident here on the freeways, and literally destroyed the other vehicle - it was torn LITERALLY in two and the separate halves came to rest facing each other. (this was a large truck, I might add) Somehow, he ran one person into another and caused a massive collision. What does the exec do? Stops his car, comes back and screams at the people he hit for getting in his way (who, we might add, were literally dying on the freeway in front of him), then gets in his car and leaves. Not to mention the now-famous case where a driver on drugs (ecstacy was found in her system) ignored all her warnings, fell asleep at the wheel, and mowed down 6 teenagers working on the freeway. But, you don't see any kind of legislative action against ultra-fast cars or anything (assault sportscars?) because they encourage people to go fast and kill pedestrians, or some bullshit like that. You don't sue GM for making cars that cause traffic accidents, because it's the DRIVER'S responsibility.
*DROOL* SVI custom gunworks is back up!!! TRB, here's the IPSC box fitter - I waaaaaaaant one of these. Badly.

Geez, Frank, just LEAVE this sitting here for 2 hours without posting. Bakabaka.
Tired of dying traditionally? Well, Southern Caskets Direct offers a line of novelty caskets - one, "The Race Is Over", depicts a checkered flag and whizzing cars. Or, if you're of a darkly religious bent, there's the Return To Sender coffin - yup, buried in a paper-covered casket with a shipping label that has Return To Sender on it. They also have a selection of other caskets, including a wide military variety - nice to see that someone still respects and honors our troops.
Japan and China starting a trade war? This could be interesting...with a weak yen, the Japanese NEED to sell stuff...but if China's not gonna buy, this could make things worse over there, with the new PM and all. And, it's not subtle stuff either - Tokyo last month raised tariffs on stone leeks, shiitake mushrooms and tatami straw from China by several hundred percent for up to 200 days in an emergency measure to protect its farmers from floods of cheap imports. The price of basics going up by several times? Gotta consider though...slave labor will always outdo capitalism for price, which is why everything's done in China. Perhaps we oughtta re-think that...?
Scarily appropriate...USS Hornet memorial haunted? Some 300 died aboard her during WWII...apparently, they're still serving aboard her.
Well. That Arroyo bitch currently running the Philippines is high on my shit list of politicians. "The demonstrations...were funded by people with a political agenda," Arroya said on national television. "It is clear that their goal is to bring down the legitimate government."She vowed to crush the rebellion, saying anyone plotting to overthrow the government would be "beaten to a pulp". Gee, that'll win you the people. And the last time I heard, the Philippines ain't a dictatorship. We'll see how this plays out...
And from the Netherlands, wait...that's not a bear! Man in bear suit drinks 15 liters of beer at a party, and goes into hibernation on the way home. I'm impressed...I just hope he could PEE with that suit on. 15 liters of beer...damn.
They should know in a few days just what to do with the EP-3E in China...assuming China gives them permission to take it home. (which has not yet come, officially)
Good lord...they're everywhere. First Israel, now COMPAQ. Starbucks really is going to take over the world...
Massive vulnerability in Windows 2000 Server Software that could give a hacker who burps it with a printer buffer overload, and lets the webserver reboot, full system access. The Register will keep tabs on this one, and hopefully the patch will get widespread fast.

*currently looping The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum*
Ragabash, I'm applying tomorrow.
How TRULY beautiful. Gun "science" debunked, with names and data. Something to read after you listen to people tell you guns are evil and kill people and should be banned. Cars kill people too, but you don't see people demanding the destruction of sports cars.
And, more on the gun issue - People's stories whose lives were saved by firearms.
Ragabash, a fine analysis. Umm, my own thoughts, NDA-sanitized - okay, yes, tech support does occasionally have stupid people in it. (may I point to "Detroit West"?) But I can tell you this - the crews I work with are professionals. We bust ass, even with a shit management system (my own direct boss is cool, very straight up with us and doesn't give or take shit) and BULLSHIT policy that we fight constantly. But, we do have a few good things - our support is free for anyone who calls, and we'll do near anything - repair, training, random stuff. All over the phone. Yes, there's an attrition problem - that's because people buy computers, and don't THINK about how to operate it. Don't bother to read the screen. I don't know how many times I've had someone ask me why their computer won't do X and I ask them to read what it says on the screen, they argue with me for about 3-4 minutes, finally deciding to read off the screen - and what does it say? "Your Password Is Not Correct". After harangues about how our service sucks and our servers are down and we broke her computer, etc. etc. Yes, attrition rates are horrible - because, from Upon High, we get treated like shit, get our paychecks f*cked up, and have some unreasonable pressures to perform various ways that are quite counter to each other. From the other side, we get irate people who don't know what they're doing, and expect us do be able to do unreasonable things. (No, we CANNOT see your screen when you call us!)
I like the comparison to driving a car, it's quite accurate - a computer is a complex piece of equipment. If you take time to read the manuals, ask a few people what things mean, and USE LOGIC and think about what they see, then we'd be okay. Instead, we get (a lot of) callers who don't know what they are talking about, don't know what the difference between the monitor and the keyboard is, and think that right clicking on something is moving the mouse over it and hitting C-L-I-C-K. And then doing it again and again after spending 15 minutes explaining it to them. It comes down to the customer, pretty much - most of them are not willing to admit they don't know what they're doing, and become very hostile when they are confronted with that fact.
On your other topic, I might point out one of the organizers of the Million Mom March (*snicker*) was arrested last year for murdering someone with an illegally-owned handgun in Washington DC, and had several more illegal guns there too. Rosie ain't the only lying hypocrite. As far as the missile treaty, we don't need them. There's more than a few thousand non-ICBM nuclear warheads ni the US arsenal - and pretty much all the missile-based bombs can be remarked as Aircraft weapons, just wrap 'em in a new case. We don't lose much.
Taryn, I can understand that - yes, gun ownership is a right, guaranteed under the constitution (and illegally subverted by our government)...however, it also holds a large responsibility as well. If you can't handle the responsibility, you should not be given the authority over life and death, which is what firearms ownership TRULY is. And I would be very hesitant to give ANY young teener (13-15) a gun if I didn't know they had any previous background with them. Yes, there are a lot of kid shooters - a 14 year old made a HELL of a showing and placed...6th IIRC in the last IPSC nationals, shooting a fullsize custom .45. Some kids can handle guns responsibly. Some adults can too. I'd put your brother on the not-yet list though.
GOOD. Black army berets not to be made in China. IIRC, the military can't use ANYTHING not made in America. But as such - the whole beret issue. Why? The Rangers made the black beret what it is - a sign of extreme professionalism and respect. But now the black beret means nothing, since it's being given to everyone. The beret does not make a soldier special, at all - the soldier makes the beret special, by his actions and attitude. Passing out the black beret to everyone won't make the entire army feel special. Go back to the fatigues..
Another view on the Philippines incident can be found at the pillow book, another blog site. Hope all works out..
Spike is a good gun. Spike is a nice gun. Spike shoots REALLY well. I like Spike.

That's EXACTLY the one I'm referring to, Zeruel, that tanto. CS has THE finest blades short of a true hundred-folded sword. *grinning* Nowadays, we can do some NEAT SH*T with metals. But, aren't those around 350 or so? ^_^ Either way, I'm not much of a knife guy (prefer dealing with things at a distance) but I know a Good Thing (TM) when I see it.
Took Quebeley to the vet, poor guy's got an inflamed inner ear...and he just got massively shaved down too. *L* He looks...wrung-out.
Meg, Paladin Press is a pretty good publisher for that sort of thing too. Rex Applegate did a book on close combat, and the man's regarded as a god when it comes to that sort of thing. He's old-school - trained a lot of OSS members during the war, and along with Jeff Cooper and Charles Askins, pretty much defined modern self-defense. There's another book I'm looking for too...
George Bush wants a new post-Cold War missile treaty with much smaller missile numbers.
Sakura-san, I think some people a) have no life and b) are afraid to stop talking because they don't know what'll happen next. Music should be listenened to and examined on a musical basis - looking at how someone wove different things together. Examine it like ART, not like it's a textbook or something. Sam Clemens said it best, and I'll paraphrase - "Anyone attempting to examine this work or find any literary meaning in it will be arrested and tried for treason, then shot in the backyard. Or something like that.
WTF?! Where did Strayer-Voight go?! One of the best custom racegun makers, now I just get a virtual hosting message...
Good lord, Dora-chan...you did pick a fine topic, ne? Hmm. Let me see what I can find you. *grins* I may just send you the latest First Freedom, if I can't find the refs to articles on it. ^_^ Hell, use MY stuff as points against gun control. *LOL* Seriously, I'll get some "official" stuff for ya.

Oh, hell. The Philippines has declared a state of rebellion in the capital, and has already started arresting opposition politicians and questioning others for inciting the rebels. Apparently the recent president Estrada was arrested for "economic plunder" (read: corruption/embezzlement) but apparently are popular enough, and the new president is seriously disliked. This new declaration of a state of rebellion comes after a major attempt by unarmed civilians to storm the palace, which continues to lob tear gas shells into the crowd surrounding it. Estrada is telling the people to calm down, and not let things get pushed to the stage of martial law. Perhaps, Madam President Arroyo, you need to look out and see them not as people to be controlled, but as your boss and the people YOU are responsible to. Coming down on these protests with such a heavy hand is NOT one way to win the hearts of the people - mass arrests of politicians that represent the people, especially without warrants, will NOT be what's good for your country. Sadly, Madam President, your ego appears to be interfering with your mental thought processes. "I'm not worried. I'm in control." This shows the mindset of someone who does NOT know what they are doing - "I'm not worried, I'm in control of the police and the people will do what I tell them because I'm president." That didn't stop a lot of other famous presidents from losing their own seats of power - ask the Russians. STEP DOWN before you tear the country apart, and put someone in there who is liked by the people and who will LEAD, not force submission. You are NOT a dictator.
More on the Digital May-Day War going on between China and the US...it's now up to 40-50 hack runs per day on both sides. This could get fun...
Hollywood's writers strike is looming - good. I say let them strike, and let the movie companies go hire indies and some new fresh vision - I'm personally SICK of the standard crap that gets put out, especially for TV...the mayor of LA is putting out statistics whining that the city could lose billions of dollars and tens of thousands of people would go bankrupt - not bloody likely. It takes time, even in Hollyweird, to get that much money. And the unemployment levels? Not bloody likely. Hollywood has scripts upon scripts upon scripts already, submissions and what not. They will, I think, survive on those. And, anyone who wants to be a movie writer? Think you've got the talent? Apply tomorrow morning, portfolio in hand, you might just get a job - please, though, if you do? Be different. Do something people will like.
I'll have more later from the recent crop of gun magazines and the like I picked up too.
Whoops! The guys at the reg are stuck at work until the rioters quit.

Sorry for the lack of ANYTHING today...been busy. And sleeping a lot. Anyways, a spot of news. Hopefully I'll hve more tomorrow.
China and the US are apparently at war in cyberspace, the Chinese hacking 30 websites in the past few days (4 Saturday, 12 yesterday, 14 today). US forces are responding hard, attacking 24 Chinese websites, including 8 government pages. Hackers across the nation, do your patriotic duty and fight the nefarious ChiComs! Seriously, fortunately no government viruses have been released yet - but God help them if the NSA gets in on things in a big way.
Go to hell!
I'll bet the Taiwanese will want some of this too - Bush to discuss and expand Anti-Ballistic-Missile defenses with allies. Nothing yet firm in the works, but he's talking with Canada, Germany, Britain ... and the Froggies? Oh well, noone's perfect.
Hmm. IBM is severely dedicating itself to building a self-repairing computer system - the interesting part is, they're possibly spending a sizeable chunk of a billion dollars a year for the R&D to go into this. They're apparently tapping resources like Blue Gene, a 100 MILLION dollar supercomputer for genetic research, and a project to have a Linux network "dynamically adjust to handle fluctuating workloads"...one wonders. Are they trying for some sort of neural-network thing, to duplicate the human brain perhaps?
Ragabash, I wanna see the catalog too. *L* Yeah, I saw the Name Game but it's all the same things...ah well. Try Cospa if you want some serious(ly overpriced) anime costumes. Also have a cooooool line of t-shirts.
MMMMMMmmmmm...broke in Spike today. Rapid fire 2" groups at 7 yards...*happy grin* Most excellent gun. Shooting tomorrow again. Must practice muchly.
After digging through Cospa...this disturbs me. The knee should NOT DO THAT!
I want...
Dora-san, quite welcome. *grinning* I actually LIKE "Dead Guy", the way it turned out. The two-handed sword bit was a comment from the...3rd ep? When he shows up holding a sword, with his other severed hand still attached to the sword, Tim the Arab Terrorist yells out in back "Hey look! A two-handed sword!"
Well, shit. First instant-messenger based virus availible now, fortunately it doesn't do anything. Just a little precursor to things. AGAIN - DO NOT ACCEPT ANYTHING FROM PEOPLE YOU DO NOT KNOW!
Well. Compaq is being putzy with its warranties - namely, forcing you to sign secrecy/NDAs before they'll help you if there's a major problem.
GEEZ...AMD is seriously cutting chip prices...I wanna go get some, and get a multiprocessor motherboard, just for laughs...damn good prices though, if you want to build a cheap custom job.
HO. LY. SHIT. First truly thought-controlled computer EXISTS. Okay, how long is it before we can really fine-tune things and make them much more versatile?
Y'know...I keep wanting to think this must be some sort of actual problem glitch, but apparently it's legit - Note that the number of required characters changes from 17,145 to 18,770 with the installation of SP1"...Catsy, you work for the Evil Empire. You heard of this before?
From a chat session - RiverDanceDance Revolution. ^_^
Sakura-san...it's mostly a question of ability. There ARE better knives - go check out anything by Cold Steel, and the SanMai metal technique, but be prepared to PAY for them - we're talking mid-3-digits here. But, it's THE BEST out there, short of an original hundred-fold tanto. But, it seems the misdemeanor thing I mentioned may rear its ugly head - though, I'm of the belief that it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. I'll look for something wicked, evil...e...vil...hold on. Lemme get back to you on something. *thinks and grins*
Ragabash, isn't it WONDERFUL how much the Commiefornia government protects you? If only words stopped bullets or blades...did you know that it's not legal to OWN body armor out there, no matter what? California, protecting you from your life.
Poe, true, Dora IS. ^_^
Firefly, you're cosplaying Sakura, I gather? *chuckle* Okay, your guardian sprite is a vampire.
NnM, credit or blame? Still not sure yet. The skin's not THAT bad. ^_^
Maria-san, Snape seriously recovers from his Asshole Moment (TM) in the next book, don't worry.
Enasni, you will be shot for that blind comment. :p
Kristina, I like that description for "epic". Except that "Everyone you LIKE dies at the end" is often more accurate. Sometimes I wonder if those books end simply due to lack of characters...that'd be a weird ending. All the main charas get killed off one by one, and the book ends with the last one.
Meia, if you want too much free time, try Voltnet.com's Furby Electricution - it's truly quite humorous. "Yaaay, cock-a-doodle-do!" *FZZZZSSHHHHHTTT* *lmao*
And Bird updates! Nice layout, tho Wakaba...eh.
Ah, how divisive we are...said ko-oni was recently called a communist spy. Perhaps the Law of Conservation of Intelligence is true - it really is a fixed constant, and is therefore divided amongst mankind in smaller doses. Or, perhaps, a variant of Dwindling Returns applies each successive generation. Fheh..it's too late for me to get seriously started on this rant...
Meril-san, is it just me or does the Nynaeve pic resemble Lara Croft in no small way?
Marvin the Paranoid Android is a webserver apparently.
Only a week or so left till the pulse rifle is DONE...
Woohoo! MS Gundam One-Year-War series to begin in June! *dance dance* I WILL FINALLY GET TO SEE THE END OF 08TH MS TEAM!!!!!
Arashi-san...I agree about the Goth thing. But some people need attention any way they can get it...hee hee! *BONGGGG*

All the pretty boys got the looks
They know how to dance don't you know
If they move just right, oh-way-oh
Girls will fall down like dominos
All the normal men by the side
They got the money but not the moves
Gold crocodiles, oh-way-oh
They snap their teeth at the bishounen
Long-haired types with the sparkly eyes hey
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Look like a Bishounen
The blonde waitresses take your tray
Their hearts beat fast as they cross the floor
You've got the look, oh-way-oh
You drop your drink then they bring you more
All the school girls so sick of books
They like the dark and the sexy men
When the buzzer rings, oh-way-oh
They're looking for some Bishounen
All the girls in the manga shop say
kakkoi da yo, kono hito
Look like a Bishounen
Glide your feet up the street show your cape
Shift your arm then you let it drape
Life is hard you know, oh-way-oh
So strike a pose on your trusty Zak
If you want to find the CLAMP men
They're hanging with Allen and Folken
They sing and dance, oh-way-oh
They look so fine no matter when
Guys from Ohtori in uniforms
The Weiss Kreuz guys call the Greenwood dorm
And the Seishi know, oh-way-oh
They're walking in Bishounen form
All the cops wanna be just like them
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh way oh
Look like a Bishounen
Look like a Bishounen

Pretty Fly For A Dead Guy - to the tune of Pretty Fly For A White Guy/Rabbi, themed to Kenny-er, Yakumo Fujii.
Have you seen my kidney? that hurts, that hurts!
Have you seen my kidney? that hurts, that hurts!
Have you seen my kidney? that hurts, that hurts!
And all the sanjiyan say I'm pretty fly for a dead guy
Zenbu wakanai, demo shoujo dais'ki yo
Our restaurant's had a fair share of okamas in the past
But most of'em were straight guys, and they just wouldn't last
But our new guy just got killed, when he saved this foreign chick
then she stole his soul - and stuck it in her stick
So how 'bout you? Have you seen this wu?
Can't win a fight, and he's got no magic too
But he cannot die, although they try and try
He just comes back, he just comes back
Just say "Oi Fujii" and then he grins with glee
Pai wants to find the Statue of Humanity
Just grab your walking stick and
Hey! Hey! Do that questy thing!
Have you seen my kidney? that hurts, that hurts!
Have you seen my kidney? that hurts, that hurts!
Have you seen my kidney? that hurts, that hurts!
And all the sanjiyan say I'm pretty fly for a dead guy
He went to old Hong Kong fast, to find this artifact
He has to find it quickly 'cause she needs it quite intact
He gets splattered by a bus in the middle of the street
And then he gets right back up, man, this guy's a total freak!
People shot at him, of that he's gotten bored
He lost one arm and wields a big two handed sword
Yeah he keeps his cool, this half-blind fool
Where are his eyes? Where are his eyes?
When he dumped his girl, he felt his insides whirl
Because that bridge blew up from a spell that fishman did unfurl
But then he kicked its ass and
Hey! Hey! Do that Mad Wu thing!
He never said the line, now there can be only one
But he's got a lot of heart and he tries to have some fun
Pai thinks he's got a lot of power, it's really not true
He saw the nuke go off but he couldn't fight that Wu
Have you seen my kidney? that hurts, that hurts!
Have you seen my kidney? that hurts, that hurts!
Have you seen my kidney? that hurts, that hurts!
Mitsuketta yo, kore da Ningen no Zou
He's not doin' well, I gotta tell
He lives on the street, looking like the tramp from hell
When she walked right by, he opened up both eyes
And said it's you - it's really you
But she lost that fight, didn't have the might
Now her memory's sealed with massive fright!
So grab your magic staff--
Combat boots and crazy laugh--
Let's summon some beasties and--
Hey! Hey! Save that Sanjiyan girl!
Thanks to NnM for the song and Sakura-san for a little Japanese help.
