*Sigh* That was such a sad episode of Arliss. Friends from enemies, always a happy ending.

Halo XBox Party Thursday Night Next Week, March 6th.
People already know who is bringing their XBoxes, but can always use more controllers. Also, if you can pitch in for drinks and pizza or whatever you want, and it will be here. $10 will keep noone hungry or thirsty. See ya there. btw, if you don't know where it is, call me. If you don't know the number.... sucks to be you! (You're not invited)

This article I believe is newsworthy, as are most supreme court rulings, as they define the trend of law for our future. Despite my personal feelings concerning the ruling, at this time I think I will just post the article fpr people to read.
Court Rules for Abortion Protesters

In the area of Medical Practices and family ethics in this high tech world, this is heartbreaking story that I am sure is difficult for both parties. but congorats to the new father and mother. I must say however, that I think that the ethnic implication of the case is way overplayed and is there just to grab headlines. I hope people don't miss the real story behind what happened, and see the real issue. Also just like to say, however, that I can understand that mistakes do happen, and there should not be any kind of case for malpractice, but an opertunity to review procedure to makew sure it was a fluke. Anyway, with that making no sense without the article, here it is:
Mother Awarded IVF Twins After UK Mixup

Ok, in response to the meowing posting, MisterBadMonkey decided to share this with everyone. Sure Claudia will appreciate this. I love sand castles.

Another awsome battle of blood and gore last night spontaniously. HALO RULES!!!

Ok, so I found this on Claudia's website, but what the hell. I couldn't agree with a couple of them, but just sort of picked something... but even still, how did I end up... well, you see it.





take the taboo quiz.


and go to mewing.net. nothing is taboo there.

Wow, who would have thought that playing pinjata with a shotgun could get you fired from work. Poor Police Chief Wiggum.

I found the article about the AIDS vaccination in the Mercury News. A much better report of how the study was performed and who participated. Read it here.

Also, anyone know how long that link will be active? Mercury news in general. The NewYork Times included the year as part of the link (directory), which makes me think it is going to be there archived. Think thy are really going to delete it to save space? Hope not.

From Februaty 19th, Palo Alto Daily News. Police blotter. I thought this was an intereting example of a person that just doesn't understand the relationship between a democracy and a society that is governed by the rule of law. You just can't really feel sorry for this guy.

Sunday, February 16th, Mountain View; 800 Block E. El Camino Read, 6:00 a.m.: A 17-year-old wearing an ankle bracelet monitor cut it off and left his home; when police arrived he also arrived at the home in a stolen car, but fled on foot. Sunnyvale police located him and arrested him Monday.

Did he really think noone would notice?

On the front page of todays Palo Alto Daily News there is an interesting headline. I did not realize that there was testing going on to test an AIDS vaccination. Good stuff, and I know they are testing all kinda of things all the time in terms of treatment, but I did not know that vaccinations were being tested. Unfortunately, the vaccination failed the test on living people... though it does not explain how it was being tested before, not my area of expertise (if I have one). The most interesting thing about it though was there seems to be a significant racial deviation on who the vaccination worked with. The report showed that the vaccination significantly lowered the rate of infection in African-Americans and other non-Hispanic minorities.
One of the most difficult issues with HIV and AIDS has been improving educational resources and safety for the world community while at the same time reducing fear and alienation of those unfortunate enough to contract the virus.
If this report DOES truly find a racial deviation with the vaccination, will this be a hit or help for education long time stereotype that AIDS is an African American / Hispanic issue, aside from the sexuality issue?

Anyway, here is the article as I managed to find it, as it was taken from the New York Times, a newspaper that DOES post it's articles on the internet.
Trial shows AIDS vaccination fails to stop infection - The New York Times

Here's a question I have gone back and forth on. I am curious where people stand on this.

Does an administration know all and do nothing in attempt to control, or take care of really important issues, or do they simply know nothing and act on everything in order to justify their budget / importance / faking the ladder?

What about the Police?
What about the Court Systems?
What about your Teachers?

Anyway, curious what people think.

Ok, so MacKenzie refuses to sign my guestbook. Same with yearbooks if I remember. I'll just have to share her spiffy 'not her quote' quote by someone else here. :)

>>The secret is to adore that sexual organ when you're around it, to treat it like the centerpiece of a new one-person religion. I set up candles around a woman's pussy when I'm with her. I slaughter oxen and offer it up as a sacrifice to the snatch god. I throw myself into that hole with all the fervor of the newly zealous, and I don't come out until the woman in question is screaming and crying, simultaneously begging me to stop and begging me to never stop again for the rest of my life. And hey, if my lover wants to worship my cock with the same religious zeal, I'm certainly not going to stop her - it's my cock, after all.

And as Jonathan might say, "A shrine isn't stalking... ok, so I was stalking her too, but it has nothing to do with the shrine"

Hmm.. Imood.com. cool site

Grr... ok, so I finally did it. With seeing as how everything is going so smoothly, I finally got masking for my domain. I do not think that I will be running a DNS myself for some time. Possibly a bit more into the future, but not just yet. Blogger pro is also tempting me, but all I particularly want is the ad-free. I don't think the ad looks so bad with the background color changed from white to crimson, but I think I would rather just find elsewhere to host the page. All in time.

Ok, made a few content changes. I think I like them. Also, guess what? Peeps can now leave comments, thanks to Jonathan and BackBlog. Whoohoo.

Also, for any of you whom are here all the time, if there is ever anything you prefer for food or drink or snacks in general, make special requests via PayPal. Visits to Costco and Safeway are frequent. You can also make advance notices of food for the next XBox / Halo event. If peeps pitch in for Pizza, there will be pizza.

Also, in terms of the next halo event, not sire when it is going to be. It has been nearly two weeks since we had anything setup. Think it had something to do with the fact we keep having the same 10 people always playing. WE NEED FRESH BLOOD!!! Tell me what you think.

Whoohoo! I love the guestbook. Anyway... Posted recently

>>Comment: I'm new to blogger and have a quick question about your logo (cute penguin).
>>
>>Do I have to be a paying member to post images?

Well, there are a few elements to your question I am not sure of... but got an idea and hope to clear them all up.

To post images? to post images to OTHER peoples boards, you have to have it hosted somewhere, then you can use a img src= tag in your message. If you want blogger.com to host images on your own blog, then yes, you need to pay for their plus package. I do not have that. I have other web space. I simply am linking the image remotly as oposed to locally with blogger. You may also notice that ALL content not text, from images to links to parts of this page are hosted through AT&T. Check out the source code on this page. It is fairly straight forward. Hope that answers the question.

Ok, so the stupid button won't show up ANYWHERE on the entire page properly, unless it is posted. So for anyone that cares, there is now a little link to a PayPal page. Hit the dollar sign under the guestbook. :)

I love money, but I hate carrying cash. Peeps can now make automatic payment to me via my website. If you are thinking 'wtf?', this probably doesn't make sense, and doesn't apply to you. Don't worry. However, if you want to make a donation to the 'Keith is a cheap bastard supporting his website' fund, feel free. I an trying to raise $6 to buy masking for this website. Basically, that is when you come to this page, it will still say 'www.nakedpenguins.net'. That is also a good cheap alternative to wasting my bandwidth on a friggin DNS.

In the ever long attempt to keep crap out of peoples mailboxes, and risking deleting everything sent your way by anyone in fear of having to look at another stupid e-mail forward, here is yet another. It is pretty clever, but check at your own discression. It is mearly another stupid 'I can't believe I am so bored I am looking at this' type of junk. You Have Been Warned

Do you know your arse from your elbow?

Damn, 'Dark Blue' was a crazy assed fucked up movie. I don't want to ruin it for anybody but Training day sucked. It wasn't bad if is just a cheesy action flick, not something that was suposed to be artst, and some kind of actual meaning or anything. This movie, Asside from being pretty different, was a hella better movie. Anyway, my 2cp.

Yummy Breakfast. Have to share... or atleast put it somewhere I can go back and look at it. I have come to the fabulous conclusion that there is hardly anything worth eating that doesn't go even better with spinach. Anyway, first time breakfast hasn't been a chocolate chip cookie and a stick of cheese, just such a memorable moment. Anywho, cook up some 6 slices of bacon, dry and set aside, cook 2 eggs sunny side up and medium rare (I HATE cooked yokes with a passion), take two slices of bread. Place about 2 inches of fresh spinach of the first slice of bread, followed by eggs cooked in bacon grease, add salt, pepper, Tobasco sauce, your six slices of bacon, 2 slices of Munster cheese on the bacon, grill in browner for 5 minutes, add top slice of bread and enjoy. Cheese makes great bacon glue :) yummy. In hind sight, I wish I had toasted the bread just a bit, but certainly no complaints. It washed down well with a large swig of mountain breeze.

Cheese makes a great glue for anything. mushrooms, onions, garlic, whatever. Another great sandwich recently was pan toasted white bread, bed of spinich, 1/2 pound ground beef patty, LOTS of grilled mushrooms and oinions (butter, tobascco, worstersheir sauce, A-1 sauce till browned), 4 slices of bacon, 2 slices of cheese. melt cheese on stack of EVERYTHING in browner. BEST burger EVER!!!

btw, for anyone that doesn't necessarly know what a browner is, or thinks they do and their wrong, I lived without a microwave for the forst 6 months in my last apartment. I finally splurged, and the thing that got me to get it was that newer GE microwaves (and surely other brands) have something called a microwave browner. In the top of the microwave there is a heating element. It will not cook and thing, but you put in this special browning rack to put the food just an inch or two away from the browner, hit 'top brown' set time and rock. I was best impressed after making a casadea (can't spell worth crap, but do I care? You'll notice I don't evem spell words wrong consistantly the same way) and as good as that usually is, I put it in the browner for 10 minutes per side, and you would swear you couldn't tell the difference between that and cast iron over a natural gas grill. I have been in love ever since. It is as slow as an oven, other then there is only 2 minutes preheating, well, takes that long before the element gets hot. Basically so far I have had to squish any sandwitch to get it under the element, so with it nearly touching, it takes about 5 minutes to perfectly melt a piece of cheese over a sandwitch. *Drool*

On a completly different note, with no endorcement to the title, has anyone here ever purchased an expansion pack to a game with no intention of playing it, but simply out of habit... or... ?!?. Why the hell did I buy this shit?

Damn last night was sweet. Love it when you run into a bunch of people one hasn't seen in years... and they wern't (necessarly) people you have been trying to avoid. Great Mall however, though news to few, is not that great, but the parking lots are nicve and big so fun to fuck around in. Scared the shit out of this little kid and her mom. They wern't near at all... so who cares. How the hell going down middlefield south to the end... then just sort of driving randomly put us in Milpitas, beats the hell out of me. So took the bay bridge back across and went to go find Pizza My Ass, place where I ran into a few people that how the hell they remembered my name beats me, but I felt special. Definatly going to have to go back there in the near future. After a coule hours of munching mint brussels, cheesits, and drinking safeways knockoff mountain dew, in the Pizza My Ass, headed out to find doughnuts. Can't find fresh ones necessarly at 2:30am, but can't hurt to try. Ended up getting cheesecake with a free donought. KrispyKremes are NOT doughnuts!!! Not saying they are all bad or anything, but it is all about the Happy Doughnuts. Every year they donate hella doughnuts to Rebuilding for America formerly Christmas in April that I used to be apart of before they changed their name (just a coincidence) and have since had tremendous respect for them. I meant to get the recepie for the cheesecake thaty I had, but I was still kinda twitching from the 2 liters of mountain 'Breeze' and forgot. Guess just a reason to go back.

The only thing thatmight have been les then thrilling was the revelation that ya really don't feel all that much more exhillerated after a 3 hour drive then had you sat all day in a chair and watched a TV show about people that drive cars... but who cares.

Hmm... it is probably about time to go get my oil changed... if I still want to drive. It isn't a particularly good idea to drive around with the oil light on for more then a couple weeks. Bad things will happen. Ok, not that I did that or anything... just saying.

Sweet, I found out how to edit that stupid little window in the bottom left corner. Snippet of dedication there, and testing a manner of posting poetry. This is commin along smoother then I thought. whoohoo.

Chemistry 101 - Actual question on a chemistry test, do you know the answer?

Which of the following is the most likely reason why single covalent bonds have a relativly longer bong length then double bonds and triple bonds?
A) Attraction between the nucleus of one atom and and the valence shell of another.
B) Atraction between the valence electrons of one atom and the valence electrons of the other.
C) Repulsion between the nucleus of one atom and the nucleus of the other.
D) All of these

Sheesh, I never realized how complicated hydroponics could be.

Ok, I will eventually get used to / stop making the mistake of hitting the wrong publish button... that ends up just deleting what I just typed. Anyway... no big loss... *wimper*

I hate Magnavox. I just spent 10 minutes this morning decifering the less then self explanitory french onscreen controls. Since there was no cable, the only channel available was 6. 6 won't do VCR throughput. Bah, long story short... isn't the most help is the people comming into the room every 20 seconds explaining what you can try. It is either 'ooh, great idea... as a matter o' fact I just tried it and it didn't work'. I love people jumping into conversations with absolutly no idea of the context of what is going on.

Ok, so you didn't like my quote, sue me.

< JG120 > "Very funny Scotty... now beam up my clothes!"

Ok, dinner went well. Ended up going out after all shortly after giving up. Mmmmm... Jack in the Box Guacamole six dollar bacon buger. All must try the greesy goodness.

An another note, NakedPenguins.net is up and running!!! Whahoo!!! It did just need 24 hours to get working. Chris was wrong, ha ha. Ok, what he said about the 'internet' and it being lightening fast makes sense... but lets just hope that updating will b faster then registering.

That was good news for this morning... so I guess that makes up for thr fact that 'I don't need my keys, i'll be back in twenty minutes' went for a doosey last night. I did not expect anyone to leave in those twenty minutes I was going to run out in my slippers and slacks to grab a burger with a friend, and have everyone gone when I get back... but low and behold...

"Want to make God laugh, try telling him what you are going to do tomorrow." ~Unknown

Grr.. ok, while missing out on finding a dinner date this evening, Will & Grace is still funny. Damn that Jack for taking taking Wills new Boyfriend. Grace is still hot, but for anyone who saw it, that was an awful dress she was wearing.

I like my $6.00 per year investment into my web page. Am I cheap bastard if I don't want to pay any more then that? I don't know what to do with that I have, so why would I want to pay another $10 per MONTH to have even more of what I don't know how to use. I think just having NakedPenguins.net and having it forward to my obnoxiously long blogspot name would be great... till I figure out more.

Ok, so I guess I do not need a name server just to have a web page. I can just store crap all over the internet, then have one place that brings all the content together, and the company where I registered NakedPenguins.net will point/redirect you here. Wow, crash course in internet. So now I have to wait for EVERY name server in the WORLD to get my information. BLEH! I just hope it is all setup correctly.

btw, when installing new stuff on your computer, and you notice a slight (by slight I mean severe) performance lag, check to make sure you left yourself with atleast 10mb of free space SOMEWHERE on the computer. Otherwise, windows might become unhappy with you, and attempt to rape the essance of your being anally with a chainsaw, and not in a nice way. Hmm... now what to delete. NO NOT THE PORN, ANYTHING BUT THAT!!!

Ok, Here is the first rendition of E-Mail forwards that don't SUCK.
If you disagree or got something funnier, click the head. I don't have any fancy JavaScript yet, so until I feel like doing otherwise, I'll post comments manually.

#1 - Bush in Hell
One day in the future, George W.Bush has a heart attack and dies.
He immediately goes to ... hell, where the devil is waiting for him.
"I don't know what to do," says the devil. "You are on my list, but
I have no room for you. You definitely have to stay here, so I'll
tell you what I'm going to do. I've got some folks here
who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, but you
have to take their place. I'll even let YOU decide who leaves."

Bush thought that sounded pretty good, so the devil opened the first
room. In it was Ronald Reagan and a large pool of water. He kept
diving in and surfacing empty handed. Over and over and over. Such
was his fate in hell. "No," George said. "I don't think so. I'm not a
good swimmer and I don't think I could do that all day long."

The devil led him to the next room. In it was Richard Nixon with a
sledge hammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing that
hammer, time after time after time. "No, I've got this problem with my
shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks
all day," commented George.

The devil opened a third door. In it, Bush saw Bill Clinton, lying
on the floor with his arms staked over his head, and his legs staked in
a spread eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what
she does best. Bush took this in disbelief and finally said, "Yeah, I
can handle this."

The devil smiled and said "OK, Monica, you're free to go."

#2 - Dog for Sale

In Tennessee, a guy sees a sign in front of a house: "Talking Dog for
Sale."
He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard.
The guy goes into the backyard and sees a black mutt just sitting
there.
"You talk?" he asks.
"Yep," the mutt replies.
So, what's your story?"
The mutt looks up and says, "Well, I discovered this gift pretty young
and I  wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about my gift,
and in no time they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in
rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would
be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies eight years
running.
The jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting
any younger and I wanted to settle down. So I signed up for a job at
the airport to do some undercover security work, mostly wandering near
suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible
dealings there and was awarded a batch of medals.  Had a wife, a mess
of puppies, and  now I'm just retired."
The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants
for the dog. The owner says, "Ten dollars."
The guy says, "This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him,
so cheap?"
The owner replies, "He's such a liar. He didn't do any of that shit."

#3 - More then a cold

A man and a woman are sitting beside each other in the first class
section of the plane. The woman sneezes, takes a tissue, gently wipes her nose and shudders quite violently in her seat. The man isn't sure why she is shuddering and goes back to reading.
A few minutes pass. The woman sneezes again. She takes a tissue, gently wipes her nose and shudders quite violently in her seat. The man is becoming more and more curious about the shuddering. A few more minutes pass. The woman sneezes yet again. She takes a tissue, gently wipes her nose and shudders violently again. The man has finally had all he can handle. He turns to the woman and says, "Three times you've sneezed and three times you've taken a tissue and wiped your nose then shuddered violently!
Are you sending me signals, or are you going crazy?" The woman replies, "I'm sorry if I disturbed you. I have a rare condition and when I sneeze, I have an orgasm." The man, now feeling a little embarrassed but even more curious says, " I've never heard of that before. What are you taking for it?"The woman looks at him and says, "Pepper."

#4 - New Career

The Gynecologist Who Became A Mechanic

A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and was on the verge of being burned out. Hoping to try another career where skillful hands would be beneficial, he decided to change careers and He found out from the local technical college what was involved, signed up for evening classes, attended diligently, and learned all he could. When the time for the practical exam approached, the gynecologist prepared carefully for weeks, and completed the exam with tremendous skill. When the results came back, he was surprised to find that he had obtained a score of 150%. Fearing an error, he called the instructor, saying "I don't want to appear ungrateful for such an outstanding result, but I was wondering if there had been an error which needed adjusting." The instructor said, "During the exam, you took the engine apart perfectly, which was worth 50% of the total mark. You put the engine back together again perfectly, which is also worth 50% of the mark." The instructor went on to say," I gave you an extra 50% because you did all of it through the muffler."

#5 - Of Course (Ok, I have no idea why it is subject titled as it is, so don't ask)

A bright, young, fresh-out-of-school auditor just joined the IRS, excited to begin tracking down high-powered offenders-just as the Enron or WorldCom guys.  Anxious for his first high-powered audit, he was a bit dismayed when his assignment was to audit a Rabbi. Looking over the books and taxes were pretty straight forward, and the Rabbi clearly very frugal, so he thought he'd make his day interesting by having a little fun with the Rabbi.
"Rabbi," he said, "I noticed that you buy a lot of candles."
"Yes," answered the Rabbi.
"Well, Rabbi, what do you do with the candle drippings?" he asked.
"A good question," noted the Rabbi. "We actually save them up and when
we have enough, we send them back to the candle maker.  And every now and then, they send us a free box of candles." "Oh," replied the auditor somewhat disappointed that his unusual
question actually had a practical answer. So he thought he'd go on, in his
obnoxious way...
"Rabbi, what about all these matzo purchases?  What do you do with the crumbs from the matzo?"
"Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi calmly, "we actually collect up all the crumbs from the matzo and when we have enough, we send them in a box back to the manufacturer and every now and then, they send a box of matzo balls."
"Oh," replied the auditor, thinking hard how to fluster the Rabbi.
"Well, Rabbi," he went on, "what do you do with all the foreskins from
the circumcisions
"Yes, here too, we do not waste," answered the Rabbi. "What we do is
save up all the foreskins, and when we have enough we actually send
them to the I.R.S."
"The I.R.S.?," questioned the auditor in disbelief.
"Ahh, yes," replied the Rabbi, " the I.R.S. " ...and about once a
year, they send us a little prick like you."

#6 - Arthur Davidson vs. God

The inventor of the Harley Davidson Motorcycle Corporation, Arthur Davidson,
died and went to heaven.  At the gates, St.  Peter told Arthur, "Since
you've been such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world,
your reward is you can hang out with anyone you want in Heaven."
Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, "I want to hang out with
God."  St.  Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God.
Arthur then asked God, "Hey, aren't you the inventor of woman?"
God said, "Ah, yes."
"Well," said Arthur, "professional to professional, you have some major
design flaws in your invention:
1.  There's too much inconsistency in the front-end protrusion.
2.  It chatters constantly at high speeds.
3.  Most of the rear ends are too soft and wobble too much.
4.  The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust.
5.  And the maintenance costs are outrageous."
"Hmmmm, you may have some good points there," replied God, "hold on."
God went to his Celestial super computer, typed in a few words and waited
for the results.  The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it.
"Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed," God said to Arthur, "but
according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours."

If anyone hasn't heard, I hate junk mail. I also hate getting e-mail forwards that are not funny. 99.99% of all e-mail forwards I ever see are NOT funny. They usually make me reconsider owning a computer after having wasted the 2 seconds of my life it took me to find the delete button on the page. However, there are always the very few that are pretty good. For the sake of wear and tear on the internet, rather then forwarding to every individual I have ever scammed out of giving me their E-mail address, they will now be posted to this page.

ok, for as much as I love the sample template that I hav chosen, I must really put something together a bit nicer. the overall style is soothing with it's modern art look to it, but it needs something more... a little more naked and a lot more penguinish. Hmm....

Pokeing around, I have yet to find anything relating to that little box witht the message that says 'This is where you stick random tidbits of information about yourself.'. I didn't write that. I do not know how it got there... thought I have a pretty good idea. Just want to change it. Unfortunatly, I have no MX-"Insert technogarble here", since I don't even have a domain server running at this time. So until I figgure this stuff out a little better, like am on my own computer for example, there is no email for Keith@NakedPenguins.net. :( my E-mail will hence forth and forever until further notice be known as ThtrGremlin@AOL.com

Ok, if all goes right, (which it never does) stopthegod.nakedpenguins.net should bring you to this page. Unfortunatly until I figure out this whole 'DNS' thing, www.nakedpenguins.net will bring you to a dead end. I wanted the page to forward to here... atleast until further notice, but so it would seem, 'www' is a 'reserved' sub domain. Whatever that means.

Update for yesterday, to anyone who did not hear already. So I got the pleasure of learning, it is inavdisable to attempt to 'fix' ballpoint pens by sucking on the end as hard as you can. Whatever you can imagine would happen did, and left a man with a blue mouth and me with a stack of paper covered in an azure phlem. I can not remembr being so disgusted in quite some time.

...And before I get any nasty remarks about this, just like to clear up the fact that 'the man' WAS NOT ME!

Yay, I found a name that wasn't already taken for a sub-Domain. Lets see what can happen next.
