LystWorthy - a blog mutation

So the potential first prize is a "Dream Date With Meg"? OK, we take it all back: perhaps some scripting kung-fu is in order here to make LW the Undisputed Blog Champeen Ob De WORLD. Avast, you scalawags at Beebo! Prepare to be boarded! Ahrr!

Arr! right back at you.

Iron Giant - Bring Him Home!
Whee, "Iron Giant" is now on video! VHS copies come with an action figure, if you don't already have one. Priced to sell ($15 USD), so maybe this film will get the attention it deserves now...

DocSpew and BlahBlah
Weekend: finished third in hockey tournament. I only let in five goals out of four games, but hey. Saw Being John Malkovich, and so should you. (Wanted to check out "Straight Story" too, but damn that linear time.) Spun some records, watched others spinning records, found "Jose Feliciano's Greatest Hits" for a dollar. Used the Jedi Mind Trick twice (Motel 6 mgmt, frightening fundamentalists). Wrote some new tunes, worked on some old ones. Talked on the CB a bunch. Continued presidential campaign. And other stuff in consideration for a draft pick to be named later.

Steal This Book is online...
I almost did rip off a copy of this once in a suburban Chicago bookstore. Now it's on the Web, so I (and you) don't have to! Rejoice, please.

Weblogs: They SUCK, dude!
Argh. We will not get off into a rant here. yet.

This site rates the blogs according to links from other blogs--IOW, don't expect to see LW up there or anything, as we are generally reviled and/or ignored by the "community" (and are cool w/it, thanx for caring). But we must mention Megnut 'cause that's where we found this, and also because she rocks. We quote her:

So if I were to post, say, something about how I love to read Onfocus and Evhead every day, and post that every day, they'd be more popular. Cool, and then maybe one of them could be like the homecoming king or captain of the football team, and then like, I could go on a date with one of them, if megnut becomes more popular, and we'd be like the coolest kids in school!

Dr. J for Prez!
History is made as your LW curator becomes the first bloggist to seek the highest office in the land!

Yes, I am officially throwing my hat into the ring for the election-after-next of President of the United States! (Gotta get in it before everybody else...besides, I'll be old enough then, and it'll take awhile to get all the required signatures and whatnot.) I think you'd like me as your Leader of the Free World, I really do. If nothing else, it should prove or disprove that peculiar American notion that "anybody can grow up to be President", especially if you don't have the backing of big $ or other sinister cabals...heh.

Now if we can just get Rep elected Prime Minister...

Transmeta: "this page is here now"
"Yes, there is a secret message, and this is it: Transmeta's policy has been to remain silent about its plans until it had something to demonstrate to the world. (LW note: Narf.) On January 19th, 2000, Transmeta is going to announce and demonstrate what Crusoe processors can do."

ooo, sounds apocalyptic 'n fun!

"Simultaneously, all of the details will go up on this Web site for everyone on the Internet to see. Crusoe will be cool hardware and software for mobile applications. Crusoe will be unconventional, which is why we wanted to let you know in advance to come look at the entire Web site in January, so that you can get the full story and have access to all of the real details as soon as they are available."

Whee! Pretend the "GEEK CODE BLOCK" goes here...

Random Crap (straight from heaven!)
The Boys win without the Triplets -- who says scrubs can't get no love? The parallels between our recent calendar rant and Groundhog Day come to light, I guess, sorta. And "country" "singer" Clint Black once a Hansonesque skate punk who attended school with the legendary Bill Hicks?

Hey! Leave me alone! I like it in here!
Apparently, you can remember your whole life, all the way back. Karl remembers his mother getting a Caesarian section when he was born. This is probably because you can hear noises in the womb. However, unborn babies probably shouldn't listen to some kinds of noise, lest they spontaneously mutate and grow extra limbs.

no calendar, no time, no oppressor!
Today will be a day long remembered in LW history as the day the dates were removed from LW posts! In fact, we propose that the calendar itself be abolished (why not? It's been done before...) and not replaced by anything at all...not even the POEE calendar. Resist the concept of linear time at all costs! But yeah, no more dates in LW subject lines, so now it's harder to tell how lazy we are just by glancing at this blog.

Yes, it's FREE!
The Mejor Vida Corporation offers you nothing less than the ingredients of a better life, and if that's not enough, why don't you start your own pirate radio station and broadcast things like cyberpunk rock?
