I hate to jump the gun, but...

JOB INTERVIEW ON THURSDAY!!!

Maxmedia

Mr. Smith vs. Mr. Jerk

I'm comfused, help me out here...

Nice Guys Finish Last

According to this article, men who are jerks are "nice guys" who have been f*cked over, right?

But this women, Heidi Muller, seems to think it's BOTH the man's AND the women's fault. Well, OK then. So they both have "issues". Fine.

HOW THE HELL DOES THAT HELP ME GET FUCKING LAID!?!??!?

If you need me, I'll be in the garage; working on the car or the bike, or anything else that doesn't require Dr. Phil's advice.

Man, you need a god damn degree in psychotherapy, just to figure half this sh*t out.

Pulling the Crack Pipe

VWvortex Forums: HELP! need parts in SoCal, like, NOW!!

Almost there. My car is now sitting out in the parking lot, the cooling system some-what in pieces. My friend Ray and his buddy Thanase came by this afternoon and lent a hand, followed by pints of Guiness at the Red Rock.

Few more parts from the dealer tomorrow, and I'll be good to go. My thought now though, is while the whole thing is apart, might as well replace the water distribution pipe (known among VR6 guys as the "crack pipe") with a racing-grade billet aluminium job that some guy on the East coast Fabs.


sweeeeeeet.

The Gratuitous "Jack Olsen" Self-Portrait 

Here's what I don't understand about this picture. Why do I have a look of reluctance on my face, if I am in fact both the subject and the photographer?

"2POINT8" 

THE JOYS, TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF VR6 OWNERSHIP

LOOKS SIMPLE, DOESN'T!?!?




My car decicded to have a hissy-fit today, sending coolant all over the nice, clean, Best-Buy parking lot. I guess that's what I get, for using cheap coolant. From now on, it'll be nothing but G12(the pink stuff), PROMISE!

Hopefully by tomorrow, it'll all be back together again.

Turkey? What's that??!

Yesterday was truely one of the coolest, most un-traditional, Porsche-influenced, screw "family values", blasphemous, have-a-good-time type of Thanksgiving celebrations.

But the message was, be thankfull for what you have and share it with others. It's funny, Americans are such warm inviting people, that I tend to forget I'm actually in a different country and that I'm technically a foreigner; I feel I belong here.

Anyway...

Things Started in Calabasas at the foo of Mulhulland Drive, where about 30 Porsches from the Pelican Board met up for coffee and, eventually, to "run the Canyons".



Hanging out at the Rock Shop, deep in the Santa Monica Mountains, the heart of Sports-bike country.


Here I am at the top of Yerba Buena Road next to my friend Jeff's 79 Targa. After chasing SCs, 996s and other air-cooled paraphernalia all morning, the Corrado needed a break.


Oh, yeah, and Thanksgiving is all about the eating isn't it?


No, that isn't Turkey, but two choice Rib-Eyes (the small one from New Zealand) being grilled to perfection.

To finish off the night? Porsche done McQueen style.


Cheers to everyone and their families. Enjoy the Holidays and and be thankfull...

Thanksgiving = shopping!

It's now officially a month from New Years Eve. I myself have scheduled my annual "shopping" and letter-writing bonanza for this Friday (along with the rest of the American population, I'm sure). Lucky for me, though, I don't gots no money to shop with, so this should be a pretty simple and quick proceedure.

For those of you who intent on sending me something, here's a list of what I NEED:

Amazon Wish List

WONGDOODY

How lucky do you have to be to have as a last-name, DOODY!?!?



I didn't even know that name existed! If I did, I would have put a request in a long time ago.

At a restaurant: "Mr. Doody, your table's ready"

Golf course: "Doody Foursome, five minutes 'til tee-time."

What would women say to their friends after having slept with you?
I did A Doody?
I had a Doody in my pants?

Phone Sex:"Talk dirty to me Doody"

More Phone Sex:"Oh god, I need Doody badly!!"

School: "Hey, Doody head!"

I'd do the whole Prince-Cher-Madonna thing:

"No, it's just Doody."

But seriously folks... ...it's an ad agency a friend of mine works for in LA.

While the reds (no, not THOSE reds, the new and improved Bushean reds) have schools that teach you to "jerk off a bull safely", the blues continue to shout rants of resentment over their recent defeat.

Enjoy.

Top twenty things women in bars say to be “nice”.

2 - It was really nice talking to you, but I have to go stand over here now.

3 - Thanks for the drink. Do you want my number? Maybe I can blow you off again sometime.

4 - I’d love to go home and sleep with you tonight, but I have more self-respect then that.

Sex As Dirty Only 100 Years Ago INSTRUCTION AND ADVICE FOR THE YOUNG BRIDE

Sex As Dirty Only 100 Years Ago INSTRUCTION AND ADVICE FOR THE YOUNG BRIDE

I "stumbled" upon this site and got a big kick out of it.

BEWARE, YOUNG BRIDES!! YOUR NEW HUSBAND HAS ONLY DIRTY, WILD, GROPPING, SINFULLY DECADENT SEXUALLY ACTS IN MIND. After all, why ELSE would he marry you?

There's also a great page on celibacy, that makes the argument that the only reason the church ever came up with the whole no-sex-outside-of-marriage a "rule", was for money and to protect property.

The church only concerned with money? NEVER!!I'm shocked!!

Carolyn Parrish - out spoken Canadian MP

CBC News: Parrish kicked out of Liberal caucus

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Where American politics is frustrating and painfull, Canadian news from Ottawa always cracks me up. Canadian politicians should take their comedy act on the road - after all, they're better at getting a laugh then running a country (unless it's into the ground, that is).



This is yet another fine example of a back-bencher who has managed to put themselves at the top of all the national headlines, by making a complete ass of themselves.

For the CANUCKS out there...

A very "Liberal" clip
(requires Real Video, eh)

Americans don't understand this, but up North in Canadia, it's the LIBERALS who have all the power and are disliked by others. Yeah - I know - it's a weird country.

Watch the clip.

Now YOU can change GEORGE!!

So, I haven't decided what to think of EMINEM yet. When he first became big, I never liked his music; still don't.

I made an effort to go on-line, to see for myself if his lyrics were in anyway profound; maybe I'm out to lunch, but they didn't say anything to me.

Now, he's got a new video out, which was released days before the last election. I ask you - Does this guy have any business telling America what political choice to make?

YOU'RE NOT DYLAN, MITCHELL, CROSBY, STILLS OR NASH, OR EVEN YOUNG!! GET OFF THE STAGE!!?!?

I just love this. Of course, they got the colors the wrong way around, and they forgot to include Alberta "Texas of the North" with the rest of the Dubbya gang.

Ralph Klein is going to be REALLY pissed off now. Not to mention Stephen Harper, and Conrad Black, and Izzy Asper(assuming he was still alive), and Gilles Duceppe, and Paul Martin, and Brian Mulroney, and Gordon Campbell, and oh...

EVERY OTHER AMERICAN-WANNABE THAT WANTS TO SELL OUT CANADA TO THE REPUBLIC!?!?!

Is there anybody out there?

I finally bowed down...



I've had the original studio recording since I was 13, at which time IT was ALREADY 13 years old (I was born in 1979, the year the album was released).

I saw the Alan Parker film for the first time when I was 14 or so, and didn't have the faintest idea as to what it was all about.

.
(The live concert recording, released back in 1999 or so)

I watched it again recently, after having listened to the both the studio and live versions for 10 years, and came away realizing that the movie is actually quite heavy handed and "obvious" in the message it's communicating.

Interesting, how we change our views and percetion of art, as we grow older?

With my main computer infested with a mystery virus, having spend 3 days in a humid, dank, smelly basement storage room, and struggling through 10 60min audio-casettes, it was high-time I got my prioreties straight and returned to the modern art of blogging.
