Back from a long weekend (for me) and back into updating for the greatest website that ever existed... My super-volare was almost healed this weekend, as I replaced the alternator and battery clamps on the car, bringing the entire project to a total investment of $117. I was quite happy to see that the car was actually starting fairly regularily until tonight, when I discovered the battery to be dead once again. This angers me deaply although I suspect it to be none other than a bad regulator. I guess we shall see. I also put some groovy mags on it. Tomorrow my pictures should be developed and you can all see pictures of this car which I know you have been desperately waiting for...
I checked my mail today for the first time since Thursday night and discovered 100 messages sent to me by members of the DMC2 mailing list (for the new Delorean). I almost forgot that I had joined this list back around December last year, but it has finally livened up. Turns out there is finally some info out about the new car. Not much. I have heard the words 'affordable', 'unique lightweight carbon-fiber design' and '1250HP engine' being tossed around. Interesting. Originally it was said that this car would cost no more than $29'000 US, but for now all you can do is buy one of the fancy $3000 watches. We'll see if ol' John Z. Delorean can do it this time...
In other news, The SDB Server has officially released a new section to their ever-expanding webpage, SDB Silver. When is Razor going to take over the updates??? | |||||||

Pay day! Pay day! Pay day! I don't know why this still excites me as it all just ends up paying off debt anyway....  One day my room will look like this I really don't have much to say today except that I worked my ass off all day yesterday (Thursday) so that I could have today off so at least now I feel like I've earned it. I think I will devote my weekend efforts (some of them anyway) into getting the Volare running prime for winter. I sat in the super-volare the other day with the air conditioning turned up high, basking in cold artificial air it produced and laughing insanely while I attempted to saw off my leg with a broken pencil. I have my moments... In spirit of the Olympics I have provided you with some Olympic bloopers for your enjoyment. Click on the following for some super-happy fun! Hope you enjoy those videos because you aren't getting any more for 3 years. | |||

First off today I must apologize for yesterdays pornography. It is not my intention to turn this site into a chauvinistic display of free pornography. As I have mentioned before, Rappablords is a family site and is geared towards all audiences, especially children. In my last defense, YC made me do it. I would like to take a minute to congragulate the Foo Fighters and Brian May for a job well done covering an old Pink Floyd song titled "Have a Cigar". I heard this song playing the other day at the music store and recognized the lyrics, so I downloaded it at home (after buying the cd, of course) and listened to the whole thing. It can be found on the MI2 soundtrack. I don't remember hearing the song anywhere in the movie but hey, look at the Blair Witch Soundtrack and tell me if any of those songs were in the movie :) Anyways I'm off-topic, download the new "Have a Cigar" here.  Some Crayon Colors that never made it Did I already post this link? If I did, its time you visited the page again as its one of the best on the net. Man did I ever get bitched out from Unit3 and soul_d about yesterdays pornographic update. Apparently they are homosexual (FAG ASSs) and do not appreciate pictures of female nudity on my webpage. As a result (as this accounts for 50% of my viewing audience), all future front-page nudity will be cencored with gay little stars (see pictures below). Oh yeah, and my bandwidth seems to be back. Wahoo! | |||

These are placed here solely for the purpose of giving YC a new desktop background. For those out there who are interested in emulators, Emulators Inc. has developed a Macintosh emulator for the PC that supposedly runs the majority (90%) of Mac software out there at a decent speed. This emulator was demonstrated at Comdex this year as well as MACWorld2000, and is compatible with Mac OS 8, apparently rivaling the speed of a G3 based Macintosh on a high-end pentium system. You can download the demo to try it out... This is an old link, but I thought I'd post it anyway...everybody loves Tom Arnold, don't they? Well...he's looking for a wife and that wife could be you! Make sure to get your applications in to Marry Tom by April or you might miss your chance. Last but not least, Audiophile has returned to the online world and has sent me a short but sweet article involving nothing other than his favorite past time, hobby, and job: X-TREME BASS.
Network bandwidth seems to have cleared up tonight, and I forgot to call my ISP to complain so perhaps I won't have to afterall. We'll have to see if it lasts... | ||||||

I know, I know, another late update. I hate doing it this way because Razor stays up all night clicking refresh to read my update. I didn't realize that anybody actually relied on my site that heavily so from now on I'll try and shape up (yeah right). It has been rather cold outside lately, and I don't like that one bit. I awoke this morning to find it very cold in the house, and proceeded upstairs to check to temperature. When I saw that it was 19C and all the windows were open and the front door was wide open I wondered why nobody else around the house seemed to think is was cold. Probably because they are all undead zombies and have no feeling in their skin. Either way it was damn cold and thats no way to start out the day...  Blue '85 VW Golf for sale. Only 15km! Only used 1st gear and reverse, never driven hard. Original tires, brakes, fuel and oil. I never watch golf, but I managed to catch a few seconds on TV the other day of the Canadian Open where Tiger Woods of course kicked everybody else's ass. Watching this guy play golf is amazing even if you don't like the sport...the pure fact that he hit the ball out of a huge sand trap - across a wide stream and directly onto the green from 218 yards away (using a 6-iron). This guy is a freaking robot. Needless to say the fact that he wins all the time is mostly attributed to the fact of how flawlessly consistant he is, more than his killer shots. Oh yeah, and he also nailed some kid in the head with a ball and then shook the kids hand and gave him a free ball. The ball deflected of the kids head and landed right on the green. Now THATS golf... Anyhow, enough chit-chat and on to some serious content. I have a video for you. It is an educational video that you all should watch, just so that you know never to try this on your own. For some reason, when I first saw this video I immediately thought of YC. Anyways, this is a story about what happens when you try and piss off a cop who's had a bad day. Busy busy busy work today, I have to jet. I've been fooling around with Adobe Photoshop lately but I realized I am a complete retard and can't make anything cool. You see, aparently (and it says this in the help) the program was designed for people with artistic talent that wanted a way to bring that talent into the 'computer world'. This is just no good for me, as I'm still waiting for a program that will just make cool pictures for me without me having to do anything but look at it and eat doughnuts while re-configuring my linux kernel in my underwear on a cold Sunday evening. I am a special kind of guy who needs very SPECIALized software... | |||

I went on an adventure with my Volare on Friday, but unfortunately it didn't make it home...after about a 1/2 hour of intense offroading the rear-drivers side tire was flat. Actually, it was probably flat for awhile before I noticed but hey, Super Volare. I finally got it home today after searching all weekend for a tire on a rim with a Dodge bolt pattern. Stupid Dodge. I don't know if anyone can even read this update as my network bandwidth has been terrible this weekend. I have had numerous people report to me that they couldn't even get my page to load because it kept timing out on them. It looks like my ISP has been 'upgrading' lately, as all of the server addresses changed for the first time since I signed up. Either way,m I hope this clears up because my upstream is nearly non-existant.  Old people don't like Rappablords For all of you who can still see this page, or for when it all clears up, I have an mp3 for you to listen too. This mp3 is not illegal, nor is it music, but it is good for a good laugh. Without a doubt. Have a listen. I was just involved in a discussion at work about whether or not water actually drains clockwise here in the Northern hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the Southern hemisphere. Having been in this arguement before, I stated that although the Coriolis effect will cause water to drain in a clockwise direction in the Northern hemisphere (the same effect applies to wind approaching the earth's pole), it plays a very small part in the direction of the draining. In fact, the angle of the jets in the toilet, the levelness of the toilet and the roundness of the bowl have a much greater effect on the direction the water spins. Just so you know! | |||

Why is it that I keep meaning to re-vamp the site and it never gets done? Priorities, priorities... Razor completed a daring feat yesterday by passing JayB (Kehfee) in the Rappablords SETI Effort. I don't actually think that JayB has been running it lately though... My $100 Volare super-car died today. Aparently the alternator either isn't working, or the belt is just slipping really badly. Good thing the car came with new belts in the trunk! Also I found out that the damn thing has ice-cold working air conditioning! Fuck, this car is getting better all the time. However, when taking left turns the drivers side front tire bends outward about 30 Degrees and I don't think thats a good sign (See picture below). However I am convinced that if I fixed the alternator and balljoints (about $100) that I could sell the car for at least $500. What a deal!  Artist Rendition demonstrating superior handling of the Volare Super-car Whoa. Thats WAY too much content for today, I'd better leave it at that... | |||
