Happy Halloween everybody, Click Here for an article about the Many Faces of Jason. Jason, from the 7th installment is my personal favorite (pictured).
I loved "Friday the 13th part VII: The New Blood" because is was like a cross between "Carrie" and "Friday the 13th part IV".

Guitar of the Week: 1965 Gretsch 6122 Country Gentleman
1965 was an interesting year...
Popular movies: "Help!", "Othello", "Dr. Zhivago", "The Sound of Music"
Popular songs: "A Hard Day's Night", "Downtown", "Satisfaction", and "King of the Road"
Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup.
I was born, and so was this week's Guitar of the Week...
"1965 Gretsch 6122 Country Gentleman $4500".
Supertron pickup in neck position and a filtertron in bridge. Another cool thing about this axe are the Grover Imperial tuning machines with extra large elephant ear buttons. Gold hardware and original hard shell case make this a great price for such a piece of guitar history.
The Great Porter Wagoner - Dead at 80
I literally grew up watching and listening to Mr. Wagoner.
When I heard Porter Wagoner Died over the weekend I felt very sad.
Nobody rocked the "Bedazzled Suit" like Porter.
3 Days Away!!!
My daughter and I worked very hard on this Jack-o-lanter, I thought I would share.
Ooooooo scary....

Halloween is 6 days away! here are some great costume ideas
Part I Scary Costumes
First up we have one of the spookiest ideas yet, Michelle Malkin. Watch as children run for their lives when you sport this horrific mask. Remember, you have to sell this costume, so brush up on your smarmy / know-it-all / I wish I was Ann Coulter attitude. (the last one will be the hardest).
If you are going out as a couple, one of you could go as Geraldo Rivera, but remember whoever dresses like Mr. Rivera has to continually spit on Malkin.
Anna: the Drug addled clown. Yeah... I think it's been long enough. This costume comes with the rubber mask (pictured above), blond wig, heroin and approximately 600 oxycodone. Total cost of costume - $3,500.00.
If you are going out as a couple (or to be more realistic - threesome), may I suggest one of you going as a "dignity" - and (if there is 3 of you) one of you go as "sobriety". When you arrive at the party, Dignity and Sobriety should elude Anna.
POPE on Fire - this by far is the most dangerous, scary as well as expensive costume in the list.
This is what you need:
1. Solid Gold Thrown
2. Sold Gold Trimmed mu mu with Jaunty / Catholic sash (trimmed in solid gold of course)
3. Solid Gold Trimmed beany hat (gold trimmed Yarmulke will work as well).
4. Haunch.
5. Cane
6. 5 gallons of gasoline.
7. Matches.
Underwear not required (if you want to be authentic) as Priests just see undergarments as "mood killers" for those who are counseling young lads. Which brings me to the "if you are going as a couple" portion of this costume...
If you are going out as a couple, a good second costume would be: Alter boy, Young boy demon, or Solid Gold Nun.
This is sure to be crowd pleaser, so be sure to bring lots of smores.

Oral Roberts Says Devil Won't Steal ORU
Oral Roberts said, "Devil Won't Steal ORU". I'm just curious what $20k trips to the Bahamas, expensive cars, and remodeled homes have to do with the devil. I mean, if you can afford to send your daughter on a trip of a lifetime to the Bahamas, and get your home remodeled... Unless you are having the College pay for it... Then Old Man Roberts is right, YOU MUST BE A DEVIL! Oh wait, is he talking about the group of professors who released the actual report about financial dishonesty? Are THEY the "Devils" Oral is talking about? I'm confused.
Why can't Richard Roberts earn his money the old fashioned way? Have God hold him ransom in the Prayer Tower until he raises $7 Million.
In a related story, Proof there is a God - CBS announced yesterday they are pulling the plug on Viva Laughlin.
Hugh Jackman + a television musical about Laughlin, Nevada = bad ratings.
But look on the bright side, There IS a God! AND HE'S COMING TO GET YOU RICHARD ROBERTS!
"That stuff (television musicals) may fly in New York City, but musicals don't work in God's country! Now where is Richard Roberts! I am going to kick his ass!"
- God

LOLTHULHU is a site forwarded to me by a strange friend. I started to view some of the art work and well... I had to Share.

The Leftorium for Cool Kids
When looking for a left handed model of last week's Wild Beat Colorado 3-2
Pictured above: Formerly with L.A. (Kings), Carolina, Nashville (for one day), and Atlanta. Number 25, Eric Belanger has found his home here in the State of Hockey (a.k.a. land of 10,000 rinks). Even though he did not score last night - he is fast becoming one of my new favorites on the team. On the Same line as Brian Rolston, and Pierre-Marc Bouchard (this line has scored over 17 points in 6 games).
Great Game last night, here's the Game Summary for all you Hockey nerds...

The Hello Kitty assault rifle
GlamGuns.com! Your one stop shop for Glamorous Weaponry for girls, is announcing the release of their new, Hello Kitty Signature AK-47 (pictured). For around $1,000.00 your daughter will be the envy of the neighborhood. This weapon comes with an extra 50 round clip with the Hello Kitty picture displayed on the bottom. This is a limited run of only 500, so don't have your daughter upset because all her friends have one of these and all she has is last year's, Backyardigans Tec-9 Machine Gun Pistol.
My 4 year old is going to love it! She can hang it on the wall right next to her Hello Kitty Guitar.
Ladies and Gentlemen: your Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks of the 21st century...
ABOVE - MODERN DAY CIVIL RIGHTS LEADERS: BRYANT PERVIS AND CARWIN JONES.
If you haven't figured it out, these guys are two of the "Jena 6" (I guess the J6 have their own gang sign now).
Pervis and Jones were invited to be presenters at the 2nd annual BET Hip Hop Awards, the picture above shows the "Jena 2" at the red carpet of the said event.
What next, are the inbred mutant hillbillies (who hung the nooses on the tree) going to present a CMT award to Toby Keith!?!?
Look, hanging nooses from trees is one of the most "asinine " moves anyone can make. 6 people beating 1 person because the color of their skin is just as unintelligent.
They (the J6) shouldn't have been charged with attempted murder - but in the same breath THEY BEAT ANOTHER PERSON BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN... 6 AGAINST 1! WILL IT OFFEND ANYONE IF WE CHARGE THEM WITH ASSAULT?! We better run that one by Al Sharpton first.
The idiot or idiots responsible for the nooses should be charged with something too. Apparently, it is perfectly ok for minors to hang nooses, as there are no laws on the books which say otherwise in Jena, LA.
Two wrongs don't make a right meaning - don't fight hate crimes with other hate crimes. BTW I HATE the term HATE crime, when was the last time you heard of 6 people beating 1 person out of LOVE?
I guess what disturbed me the most about this whole BET thing was the way these two young men were given a "Hero's Welcome" a standing ovation, many in the crowd where throwing the J6 hand sign. These are modern day civil rights heroes? Fuck that!
NEW RULE!!! If you commit a crime against another person because the color of their skin - YOU DON'T GET TO PRESENT AWARDS OR WALK ANY RED CARPET EVENTS! IN FACT YOU HAVE MOVE TO THE BACK OF THE LINE AND GIVE THE REST OF US (who don't hang nooses or beat up people: 6 vs. 1) AN OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT AWARDS AND WALK RED CARPETS! Shame on you BET (Note: I don't watch that channel, as I am not a big gambler... get it? BET - Gambler? yeah yeah stupid joke).
UPDATE: TA provided this great link from the Mike Doughty Blog regarding the Jena 6 from the perspective of someone who is actually from Jena, LA.

Autism News: Autistic Hiker Found Alive in West Virginia!
As a parent of boy with Autism I was very happy when I read This Story.
Having a child who is lost is frustrating and heart wrenching for anyone, but when you have a kid who doesn't respond to their own name you can imagine how crazy these parents must of felt. Add to the mix a fear of crowds, hyper sensitivity, and not having the ability (or social skills) to do something as simple as call for help.
Every time my wife and I saw this on the news or talked about it we had a very hard time holding back the tears. This is one of our biggest fears.
"The family is all together," search group spokesman Chris Stadelman said. "As soon as they heard the report he was alive and doing fairly well, they gathered in a prayer circle."This story ended great, most of the time it doesn't.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Allen family, you will be hard pressed to find a happier, more thankful group of people tonight.
Pelosi backtracks on Armenia ‘genocide’ bill
Nancy Pelosi decided to back off the Armenian Genocide Bill, and decided to move forward with her "Nordic Vikings were sexist Bill" as well has her, "human rights violations from the last year of the Ming Dynasty through the Opium Wars bill".
That is just the kind of "can-do" politics I can get behind.

Guitar of the Week: 2007 Gretch 6118T-LTV $1899
this is my idea of going green
2007 Gretch 6118T-LTV $1899
Three reasons this is the GOTW:
1. Dig the green pick-guard, it matches the two tone paint job.
2. Dig the "TV Jones" Classic pick-ups and the 3 way selectors
3. It's a Gretch.
UPDATE
Above is a picture of the same guitar in the left handed flavor...
Just for you TA

RADIOHEAD - In Rainbows
I have listened to the new Radiohead CD 4 times in the last 30 hours or so and I love it.
Being a long time Radiohead fan I knew I would like it. I was not happy with "Hail to the Thief" - "in Rainbows" is more reminiscent of "Kid A" or "OK Computer".
Here's my critic quote,
"Great Driving CD - I don't mean the beats are hard driving beats, I mean this is a great CD to listen to while driving your car. I suppose it would be a great "riding in a cab, bus, or friend's car" CD, perhaps if you just walk everywhere, it would be good for that as well.song list:
Thom York is whiny and bitchy as ever, and that's what I love about him."
-Hue, Sharpie Propagandist, MotherGoldstein
15 step - Drums and Vocals intro - Great opener.
BodySnatchers - So far one of my favorites.
Nude - beautiful orchestral intro to this song - flows into a sweet clean guitar, bass, keys and drums - Thom's voice is incredible. This song reminds me of the song "Exit Music (For a Film)" from OK Computer.
Arpeggi - The clean guitar parts are hypnotic - the song builds into a sweet frenzy.
All I Need - Ahhhhhh yeah. This is smooth.
Faust ARP - You gotta love a song where the first words are, "Wakey Wakey rise and shine". Great acoustic guitar and strings - muttering, confusing lyrics... I love every second of it.
Reckoner - cool bass intro - Thom at his best. This song is right out of the RadioHead Playbook. This is another one of my favorites.
house of cards - very cool guitar tone opens this song. Another smooooooth tune.
jigsaw falling into place - textbook Radiohead song - the acoustic guitar sounds great.
Videotape- Great tune, but at this point the least favorite track.
I have to give this CD a 9 out of 10 (what ever the hell that is supposed to mean), not just based on the CD itself, but also on the way it was marketed. People who don't like or even listen to Radiohead have heard about the creative way this CD was sold (or in some cases given away).
Fans should own the music, artists should own the copyrights and the record companies can see what it feels like to get the short end of the stick for a change.
Radiohead "In Rainbows" is worth the $9.99 I flopped down and I recommend this CD to ANY Radiohead fans out there.

Researcher: Humans will wed robots
Human male nerds will someday wed robots,
women will keep their robots in their top drawer
I wonder if the researcher who wrote about how Humans will wed robots, is also an on-line gamer? It would make perfect sense.
If the government allows humans to wed robots, we are going to have a lot pissed off gay people running around.
ROBOT WIFE: Honey does my ass sensor look calibrated in this dress?
NERD HUSBAND: Of course honey, your ass sensor looks as calibrated as the day I formated your hard drive!
ROBOT WIFE: Oh Honey, you are the greatest carbon life form.
(hugging)
NERD HUSBAND: Honey don't squeeze so hard or at least put a pillow on your robot boobs if you want to cuddle.
ROBOT WIFE: What the hell is that supposed to mean?! What is wrong with my Robot boobs? They are perfect!
(Robot wife storms out of the room and walks through the wall)
NERD HUSBAND: What's wrong honey
ROBOT WIFE: NOTHING!
NERD HUSBAND: Are you mad?
ROBOT WIFE: Of course I'm not mad, I don't have emotions - I can't help it you hate my Robot Boobs!
NERD HUSBAND: I don't hate them, they are fine... how many guys can say their wife's boobs shoot lasers, have GPS, Red Bull dispensers and hold over 50gigs of music and videos! I love your Robot Boobs! Now come over here so I can give you a kiss and check my email.
ROBOT WIFE: I love you husband, lets go "plug and Play"...
NERD HUSBAND: Sure! but first let me download this episode of "Stargate SG-1".
