 | Nov 14, 2003 - Bootlegs Guitarz, McDonalds.... | Spitfire  | 
| | Just finished watching a 1 hour special on Britney Spears. Yes, I actually saw that it was coming on tonight and actually planned to watch it! What can I say? Britney
rocks and any guy who denies this is obviously gay.
What else is new....my half-year downloading spree has finally subsided. After collecting 85Gb of rare Pink Floyd bootlegs and video footage I have finally reached the point where
I have pretty much all of the most interesting stuff. I never would have thought I'd find any interest in the bootleg market, but it really is quite interesting. First of all, it is obviously really
neat to be able to hear a non-dubbed live performance of a show that happened before you were even born...but what really surprised me is how organized the bootleg industry is/was. These
bootlegs were pressed on vinyl in factories and mass-produced...I have a few full-show bootlegs from around 1970 which are in full stereo and in better quality than more albums released
at that time. Some of these recorders would sneak entire reel-to-reel systems into the stadiums piece-by-piece with a bunch of friends, and the buy an entire row of seats just so that they could place
a mic on each end of the row and get a true stereo recording. Pretty interesting stuff!
I also find it really interesting that I have a few odd video bootlegs of shows in the 1977-1982 time period. I mean - do you remember how freakin' HUGE 'portable' video cameras were in the
80s?? Let alone the 70s...I don't know what they used (and the quality wasn't that great either) but I'd sure like to know how they snuck it in!

Anyhow, aside from Floyd, I am also a big fan of Mark Knoffler's guitar playing....the man most people would identify as the lead guitarist/singer of Dire Straits, who has since
gone solo. I personally believe he is an incredibly under-rated guitarist. He plays without a pick, on a fender strat...which really gives him a unique sound. I really respect for any guitarist
that can make their guitar 'sing', and he is one of those players. Who else would I put in this category? Dave Gilmour of course, Jimmy Hendrix, Steve Vai, probably B.B. King...and I've recently
started listening to more of Richie Blackmore's work which I like.
Well enough about what I like - the main reason I wanted to update was to direct all you guys out there to this test which will prove whether you are a pedophile or not. Might as well give up now, you won't pass!

gah, I've been eating way too much McDonalds lately, stupid McDeals. They aren't a McDeal for your heart thats for damn sure. Now that Dog Pound has
swore off hamburgers and prostitutes - I think maybe I should make a similar pledge. Maybe I will swear off McDonalds and going to work.
Oh well - soul_d also seems to think that I should quit my job tomorrow and work at the University computer labs. Sounds like a good plan!

 | Nov 05, 2003 - November Update (Cold as Ice) | Spitfire  | 
| | Okay, time for the November update...
An update or two back I mentioned our municipal election...well, thats all over with and now we are onto our Provincial election....and seeing as how my current winter
beater (aka Unit3's car) only has AM radio, I am forced to either listen to endless political debates or the sound of the many children I
am plowing over while trying to drive and clip my toe-nails at the same time. I think this could be an interesting election...the Sask party has a stronger backing this year than last election, but
the NDP have strong roots especially in the older community. Either way it is going to be between these two parties....and I was going to post a link to a guy who was selling his vote on
ebay, but it looks like its been pulled off. That's what I get for waiting so long between updates!

Dog Pound has been visiting me with increasing frequency ever since I hooked up my SNES and found my copy of
the original Street Fighter II, so thats pretty cool...apart from the fact that he is using me for my SNES system. Anyhow, instead of explaining this whole situation to you, which is very
emotional for me, DP drew a comic to better explain what I have been going through. Check it out.
For anyone who hasn't seen this already - you have to download this video of a bear bouncing off a trampoline. Watch it now, it's hillarious! When you're done,
amuse yourself by looking through the contents of a woman's handbag. Soul_d sent me that one!
Even Fredish sent me in some more content - so check out this awesome flash video of the possible end of the world. I think James McKay, Soul_d and
Dog Pound especially need to pay close attention to this. Especially because it involves a strong Israel....well, sort of..
For you tech-minded readers, read this article about an Australian arrest made over an internet scam. You know, those emails you get
about a rich foreigner offering you millions if you just claim to be the heir to some dead guys inheritance?

Foreigner?!? Man, I'm feeling COLD AS ICE today! Boooooooooooo....
This update was kindof lame but its time to go to bed, so I promise another one soon. Check it out - I actually updated my webcam this time.. Check back soon! In the maentime check out this girl drinking so much beer she
pees herself. Yeah, now that's good entertainment...

 | Oct 16, 2003 - Trailer Park Boys | Spitfire  | 
| | Whoops - I was wrong, the civic election isn't until the 22nd. Yesterday was the "Advance Poll" voting, so you COULD vote early if you want to.
I got my pictures back from last week at Ryly's with THE TRAILER PARK BOYS! Only a couple of them turned out good because it was so dark in there,
but this guy got quite a few good shots, including some from inside the VIP
lounge where they were having drinks after the show. If you look closely in one of the pictures of Julian you can see James MacKay behind him :)
Here is an excellent shot of how incredibly over-packed the bar was. In the picture
people were chanting "Trailer Park Boys! Trailer Park Boys!" as Butterfinger were trying to play their set. I don't think the band was too happy about actually being boo'd at everytime they
said they had another song to play.
Anyhow, I'll post the pictures I have hopefully tonight or tomorrow - whenever I find somebody with a scanner or remember to bring the to work.

 | Oct 14, 2003 - October Update | Spitfire  | 
| | Any day now I will start updating every day again, I'm sure. But for now - this is our monthly update! It's about quality, not quality right?? In either case I think that I'm probably screwed.
Canada.com showed
an overwhelming majority of voters for Jim Pankew while the telephone poll (argueably more accurate) revealed Maddin in the lead (who had an 8% vote in the online poll). Either way Jim Pankew is sure stirring up a lot of
attention - I noticed he had signs all the way down Preston, each in front of another sign of an opposition, then today somebody had smashed all of the signs EXCEPT Pankews. Also I've seen a few signs on people's lawns that
boast "No thank-you, Jim Pankew". My opinion? It doesn't really matter how much of a radical he is - he's a powerless civic icon in front of a corrupt city council who alone decide the fate of the city. Personally, I think despite his
downfalls, Maddin has done a good job.
But that's boring - onto the b00bs. First of all I was happy to receive in my mailbox this morning a picture of J-Lo's beautiful naked clam. Then I got to read about how poor old
Tommy Chong got busted for trying to sell bongs on the internet! He's lucky he doesn't live
in Manitoba!.
I don't know if its just me, but the content on Demoni.ca has been getting pretty hard to read lately. Hmph..
Ok seriously guys, this is THE BEST comic I have received in the past 2 months. What the hell is going on?!??!

Ok I think I'm done my rant - I keep thinking that I should change that damn webcam photo but I just love it so much. Also there is only so much that I can do in front of a camera which is chained to my desk. Hmmm.
Well, only so much I can do that would keep people coming back to the site. I'm always open to suggestions though!

 | Sep 25, 2003 - Late September Update | Spitfire  | 
| | As you can see, I am getting really original with my update titles lately!
Alright, I've got a whole crap-pile of content to unleash upon you crazy readers, so you'd better take your time to sort through it all. I tend to stock-pile all of that crap, and
then by the time I want to post it, most of it is out of date. Oh well, I'd might as well get you started by seriously warping your mind with this link
that Fredish sent me a couple weeks ago. I spent an hour trying to figure out all of the retarded little games that are part of that twisted
pile of hoo-haw. For some reason I can just picture Razor doing the same...anyhow, take some time to really go nuts - a little bit of acid is encouraged.
done yet? I haven't even started!
Here's another commercial, which is particularily funny because it involves somebody getting their nuts crunched.
And here's a picture I took using MY time camera, of Soul_D's future wedding. (I love the expression on their faces)
Comics? Have I forgotten about the comics? Honestly, I have had dozens of comic submissions over the entire summer, and even a few within the last couple weeks, and out of all of them,
THIS was the best one.
Take a real close look at the picture on the right - those aren't real undies - its a picture printed on the skirt! 'Apparently' this was supposed to be a new hot Japanese fashion, which seems fitting. By the
way - what ever happened to those butt-cleavage shirts that were supposed to be all-the-rage this year??
Hmmm....ok well thats all the content I feel like posting today - that takes a lot out of me!
Sounds like Dog Pound and myself will be joining Blue4130 and Fredish for the
David Bowie concert in Calgary this January. Should be some good fun!
I'd love to see the Simon&Garfunkle reunion tour as well but the only Canadian stop is going to be
Toronto (of course) - and the tickets are $190 a piece! I thought that was expensive enough, until I looked at the ticket prices for the MGM Grand in Vega - $1950US a piece!!! No wonder whenever you see boxing matches
on TV at the MGM the first 5 rows are celebrities and rich oil sheiks!

Well - time to hit the sack I think. This update took me nearly an hour and a half, I'm beat! Maybe I'll update the webcam image while I'm at it. Anyone want to write their own
update for rblords that doesn't include scat pornography? Send me one in Word format and I'll post it if its tame!
natch
