John Paul Jones Talks About Led Zeppelin Tour With/Without Robert Plant

in Coolest Shit Ever, Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin, fnord, music

Youdopians, I love John Paul Jones! He had a Q&A at a guitar clinic recently, and this is what he had to say about a tour with Jimmy Page, and Jason Bonham. Robert Plant? Probably not. I would love to see the boys play again. They hit it out of the park at [...]

An Appeal For Aid From Someone Fighting Cancer Without Insurance In America

in sadhana and dharma

Youdopians, you have read about my friend, Butterfly Temptress, and her fight with stage 4 cervical cancer. Well, her insurance won’t cover her pre-existing condition, and the lab WON’T TREAT HER ANYMORE because she can’t afford it. Oh, and the kicker? Her insurance, having literally left her to die, won’t even cover her [...]

Funny Cat Video: An Engineer’s Guide To Cats

in fnord, humor, music

I awoke this morning to find this in my inbox. A friend of mine had the foresight to determine that I would enjoy this. She was correct, youdopians. It is a very humorous video about kitties. They’re not lolcats, but actual motion pictures with a beginning, middle, and end. It’s very clever, and has [...]

in craziest shit ever, fnord, humor

Yep, youdopians. There is a Texan (no word on if he’s from Bad Ass, Texas) but he sells these dandy stickers that one can place anywhere appopriate. Biphenyl.org is where I found this tidbit (via Boing Boing).  It’s been quite an intense week.  The collapse of the free market affected our business, and we made [...]

Bob Dylan, You’ve Done It Again

in fnord, music

My heart is telling me, I love you still.
I can see the turning of the key
I’ve been deceived by the clown inside of me
I thought that he was righteous but he’s vain
Something’s telling me, I wear the ball and chain
My patron saint is fighting with a ghost.
He’s always off somewhere when I need him most.
The [...]

How Now Sacred Chao? Wow. Here’s Something For Your Students, Brigid.

in Doodles, fnord, sadhana and dharma, wisdom

I’m smoking weed, listening to Led Zeppelin on my headphones, and looking at porn. It could be 1985.  The funny thing is, the porn is part of my job. I’m promoting it (Hi, Mom.) because I’m awesome at it. The funny thing is the Led Zeppelin and the w33d. It’s the perfect subject for Chaoist [...]

in fnord

I ginked this straight off the NYT Op/Ed page. Sorry. There’s a permalink to the story at the bottom of the page. I see exactly what the RNC is doing. Getting the masses riled up to solve the problem of Obama. Bang. Thud. President McCain.
If you think way back to the start of this marathon [...]

Coolest Shit Ever: How About Michael Palin For President?

in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, humor

Ok, Youdopia, Yes I would fuck Sarah Palin. Hard and rough and leave her with an extreme case of Stockholm Syndrome. But.. instead of having a Hockey Mom run the country, why not a Lumberjack? I prefer Michael Palin. His accent is nicer.

Café Mam Is The Best Coffee In The Whole World

in fnord, wisdom

I used to live in Eugene, Oregon. Most days I still wish I did. One of the best things about Oregon is the quality of life… by that I mean the little things. Beer is better. There are ten million microbrews. Weed is better. OMG the weed is better, and the coffee, Lord, the coffee. [...]

“Leaked” Footage of Homer Simpson Trying To Vote For Obama And Getting Attacked By The Machine.

in fnord, humor, wisdom

Do I think this clip was leaked? Well, youdopia, yes I do. I think it was leaked on purpose, but I think it was leaked. It’s pretty funny, as funny as the Simpsons get most days. Twenty years is a long time.  I hope you enjoy this little clip.

The Importance Of Being Earnest

in fnord, sadhana and dharma, wisdom

I made a friend today. Her name (here in the floating world) is the Butterfly Temptress, and she’s sweet, funny, kind, and ill. She has stage 4 cervical cancer, and it’s travelled through her lymphatic system throughout her body… including her brain stem. Kiki spent some time online with her yesterday, picking out caskets. When [...]
