I sure hate me some Danzig

I heard "Mother" on two separate occasions yesterday.
Once in the car and once on the Metal station on our Digital TV radio thingy.
I had switched it from the Christmas Music channel to the Metal channel to see if the wife would notice. It took her like 10 minutes but she DID notice.

That song sucked in the 90s and it still sucks.
I don't know Danzig's catalog. The only other Danzig song I've heard is the one with the video with the sandpit in it and the band like rises up from the sand looking all hardcore and stuff.
But I do have a pretty good idea of what sucks. And it's that song.

Merry Christmas or Merry Blackness or whatever, Glenn Danzig.

November 2008 Half-Poll - Scaaarry

So. I was going to follow this half-month poll with another poll that was Thanksgiving related. So much for the best laid plans.

Not many voters this go-around (probably due to lack of my monthly email) but the majority of you were skeezed out by the Random Backwoods Redneck.

BW was, too.

Hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving. We would blame a tryptophan coma on not posting in a while but that would be a lie.

College is Stupid

Take a good look at this map.
This was recently in the New York Times.
Remember those maps of the US in 2004 that depicted the Electoral Votes in a RED and BLUE distortion according to population and which inadvertently made the country look like a lava lamp?
Well, this map represents the number of Electoral Votes each state has (the small black #) and, more interestingly, the number of voters each Electoral Vote represents (the large white #).

If you are from Wyoming (or freakin DC for that matter which has taxation without representation!) your vote counts A LOT! This map represents this by the SIZE of each state above.
Since 2001 when I moved from KY to TN and then in 2002 from TN to MA and then in 2008 from MA to TN my vote counted like this...
NOT SO MUCH - EVEN LESS - MUCH BETTER? - CRAP

Now, this is going to be a little dangerous what I do here, but heck, every talking head on TV does it...I'm going to make a crazy, declarative statement without doing diligent research on a topic and then be unapologetic for it later and say I stand by it wholeheartedly and then get fired by Biscuit World for making such a statement and then I'll get re-hired by some other blog site cuz I'm just that awesome.

Here goes: GET RID OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE SYSTEM.

And no, this is not Al Gore sour grapes. This is legit. It's outdated in my opinion, give everyone a fair shot. I mean, when rational friends of mine are writing in "Ted Nugent" for President for their vote just because there is no way Candidate X will NOT get all the Electoral Votes already in their state, SOMETHING needs to be done.

I do not want Wango Tango with his finger on the button nor do I want "Cat Scratch Fever Day" to be a National Holiday.

But I could be wrong. I'm just too lazy to read up on it.

October 2008 Poll - Cool Hand Palin with a Full Tank

Sheesh. Talk about parity. First time we have ever had a three-way TIE!!!
Zombie Paul Newman! Tina Fey as Sarah Palin! Dudes/Dudettes with Petrol in their Vehicles! Pretty sweet. Send BW your Halloween pics and let us know if we can post them.

Hope that everyone had an amazing Halloween. Took the little Dragon to the Candy-Side of town. It was sweet. Heh. Congrats to all the winners! BW, of course, voted for the Color of Zombie, the Cold Dead Hand Luke, the Salad Dressing King himself...yummmmmm...brainy croutons.

Buckin the Trend

I decided today that from NOW ON...
When I throw my hands up in the air, I will wave them around AND care.

I. Will. Care.
For realz. I'm not just going to wave my hands around willy-nilly.
Seems like a waste of time.

September 2008 Poll - Feelin Blue

BW likes the color blue. Always has. Always will.
And apparently, so do you!

"Bluish" edges out "Greenish" in this month's poll results to take home favorite colour honors. Congratulations, blue. Now if you could just get your depressed, lazy ass out of bed and go out and celebrate that would be nice...
