Hey kids. What’s up? I feel rather shitty this morning. And I feel the need to open this Bite with a less than cheerful anecdote.
Last night, my brother and I went to my cousin’s barbecue. It was a pretty decent gathering that had lots of liquor drunk, burgers consumed, and sausages whipped into other people’s backyards. I’m not pulling your leg; sausages were actually thrown into other backyards. I think one even made it to a pool. Anyway, things were going fine until later that night. Suffice to say, one of our guests (which will remain anonymous in this scripture) decided to drive home drunk. Now this guy was one of a couple of people who were really smashed. Keys were taken away, rides home were offered, heck my cousin even offered her house for the really plastered idiots to sleep over. But the guy didn’t want any of that and in fact, resorted to deception to get out with his jeep and lack of soberness. This resulted in a search for the guy… but he was nowhere to be found. As I write this, I have heard nothing…
This bothers me… a lot. The guy was offered a place to sleep over for the night and several people even offered a ride home, and what does he do? He lies and drives off without a fucking care in the world. This act is unforgivable, disrespectful, and downright stupid. Now we all feel bad because we practically let the guy walk without anyone checking up on him and there’s nothing we can do.
Folks, drinking and driving is an absolute sin and extremely risky venture that is not worth taking. The best-case scenario is that you’ll end up in jail and the worst case… well, I don’t want to drudge up the mood anymore. I could easily say don’t do it, stay overnight, or let someone else drive you home. But then there are a lot of people that could convey this message better than I could, so I won’t bother.
Sorry about the downer to open this whole thing up. But on the flip side, it’s all daisies from hereon out.
In our epic 1000 Islands non-adventure from last week, Dave was distraught as to discover that bad weather prevented a much needed… much wanted trip for the weekend. Right now, things are looking good…
(Turns out we’re not going… again. This is getting stupid.)
Getting past those issues, I managed to do some work on fanfictions, including a rework of The Weapon’s Epilogue, which originally sucked in my view. That will be up hopefully Tuesday night. As for Plague, I’m hoping to finish that off before Friday. This is all presuming nothing comes up this week.
Capcom Vs SNK Pro for PS-One. Bought last week and thought it was pretty good despite the flak it gets from players. I think some people are expecting a masterpiece version when it just isn’t possible. People tend to complain about the loading times, but it’s a fucking Playstation! It’s reading off a fucking CD! Grow the fuck up! … If you can’t afford a PS2, but you can afford a PS-One, this is a pretty good game.
Raw, as a show overall, was pretty bad. But the thing with Kane setting Jim Ross on fire was pretty hilarious. This skit had nonsense, stupidity and WCW written all over it, but on the other hand, if this is what it takes to get Kane over as a monster heel, they’re taking the right road.
In any case, you’ve got to feel for poor J.R. He’s always the expendable one when it comes to trying to get a monster heel over. The sad thing is that people like it when J.R. get his ass kicked… especially considering he never shills the BBQ sauce… now available at WWEShopzone.Com.
Here’s a little quotation from former Chekov actor Walter “Nuclear Wessel” Koenig on the TrekToday.com web.
My sense is that the next Star Trek television series after Enterprise has run its full seven years — I’m not suggesting it’s not going to — will be a remake of the original series with a whole new cast… There will be new stories but they’ll do them the same way we did and use the same characters — a new Kirk, a new Spock and a new Chekov.
My best response to Koenig’s personal theory (and that’s all it really is): Bah Gawd, I hope not.
The last thing, in my mind, that Star Trek needs right now is for Rick Berman and Brannon Braga to even touch the original series and remake it into a modern-day non-epic. Bad enough we have Enterprise right now. And even further bad enough that it’s the least watched Trek show on my list, narrowly beating Voyager for that unprestigious title.
In any case, I hope we don’t ever EVER get that Star Trek episode where Captain Kirk needs Bret Hart to save the universe from the McMahonunites or something similarly stupid…
In closing of Toasty JR Week here on Dave’s Webpage, I present you with this mothball Ross quote. Pass the Barbecue sauce. I’m having fried Sooner tonight.
Boomer Sooner… BAH GAWD KING! AH’M ON FAHR!!!
