Rantings, mostly…

I was reviewing my spam folders and happened to notice an e-mail supposedly from ecobanknigrplc@aim.com.  Basically it was one of those, “Hey I’m some random African prince looking for an American carrier to help me get my inheritance.”

But this one had a twist.

“This is to bring to your notice that I am delegated from the United Nations To Central Bank to pay 150? scam victims $100,000 USD (One Hundred?Thounsand Dollars) each. You are listed and approved for this payment as one of the scammed victims to be paid this amount, get back to as soon as possible for the immediate payments of your $100,000 USD compensations funds.”

Wow, I bet this actually fooled quite a few people.  “This e-mail must be legit because it talks about how people have been scammed!”

Anyway, long story short, I scrolled down a bit and saw this:

“Check Out the new free AIM(R) Mail — Unlimited storage and industry-leading spam and email virus protection.”

Hahaha, yeah… right!

OK, I feel you on the boy being murdered, being some severely screwed up shit.  But screw that shite.

These two little bitches, are caught, and they were caught doing some horrendous arsed shite.  I personally would break these bitches fingers for doing what they did to this poor cat.

I mean, I remember back in the day when it was cool to light a firecracker near a cat and watch it bolt, or hell, even attach the firecracker to the cat.  But pouring an accelerant over an 8-week old kitten, and lighting it on fire whilst it screamed and burned alive within a cage?

Oh my God, I’m tingling, I’d like to fuck those bitches up so bad it’s pathetic.

Better yet, pour some flammable liquid on their fucking arses and set them ablaze.  See how those ragged cunts would like that shite!

Yeah, yeah, I used quite a few expletives again.  So I showed I’m an ignorant Neanderthal.

Fuck you too.

And I say who the hell cares?  Get your stupid Oxycodone popping arse back into movies and stop bothering me with this stupid shite.

Personally, I’m interested in “The 10.”

I mean, with a cast like the ever so sexy Famke Janssen, super adorable Gretchen Mol, and the breathtaking bimbo Jessica Alba… you just can’t go wrong.

Oh, and then there’s Kerri Kenney, and whilst I think she’s hot, most think of the oh-so puke-inducing Trudy Wiegel from “Reno 911!“

Make sure to check out Reno 911! by the way.  It’s classic.

And speaking of hot broads in pig uniforms, Mary Birdsong is HOT!

Well, let me be more specific.  The GTK+ packages seem to be at fault for both GIMP and Inkscape.  Of course, any other GTK+ based application will also fail.

For some reason the stylus seems to pass more information to the application, primarily the GTK+ engine than what it can handle.

I’ve tried the stylus support in Photoshop, ArtRage, and Artweaver and all of them give superior support.

Which is saddening because I absolutely love Inkscape as a vector program.  GIMP as my main raster program.  Now it looks like I am going to have to find another vector program, and *shudder* possibly have to stick with Photoshop.

How the hell can Linux be getting this *totally* right?  Is it an updated GTK+ or a combination of superior coding skills and an updated GTK+ package?

Hell if I know, but I sure wish someone would figure it the hell out.

That’s right, Opera 9.5 codenamed “Kestrel” is finally here.  Currently only available as a nightly build, its release is imminent.

It is also the first browser to date that supports all CSS1, 2, and 3.

*glares at Safari and Firefox*

Why don’t you guys fully support CSS2 yet?  Opera is making you guys look bad.  You might wanna’ hurry up.

Despite the recent tragic loss of my niece, and the twice now horrible experiences we have had setting off a few fireworks, happy 4th people.

Monday, we tried setting a few fireworks off.  The police were called by a local drunk asshole we all know and hate.  Although the local newspaper is what notified us that the “burn bans” had been lifted, the officer threatened to confiscate our fireworks (thank God 85% of them were located in the house and not outside with us).

Then in some strange stroke of kindness (more like he realized he was an idiot) he just offered that we quit for tonight, or find a good field or something (um… but you were warning us about the burn ban?) and was on his way.

Well, tonight, one of my neighbors in all his drunken glory decided he would take one of my fountains (I didn’t care) and light it himself.

As my wife, I, and my four daughters looked on it amazement we realized not one second into the lighting that something was amiss.

The first shot of 16 fired, *PPOOOM!*, and that was what sent the fountain skittering on its side.

The fountain continued firing off round after round, *PPOOOM!  PPOOOM!*, sending these mini-mortars flying in my children’s direction, several of my neighbor’s directions and even down to the end of our street barely missing my last neighbor on my side’s *very* nice car.

Needless to say, I said screw this shite, and took everyone inside.  Luckily no one was hurt.

But is God trying to tell us something?  You know… like… “Fuck you!”
