Many of you know IÂ’m a huge Evil Dead fan. This may be going too far. Evil Dead the musical.

I just want to know what person thought this was a good idea. Then I want to know who actually funded this. Finally, I want to know when it is coming to my area so I can get tickets.

Just a little fun for this Saturday, some people didnÂ’t like the way the original Superman movie ended, so they came up with an alternative ending.

It may not be done with the best quality, but itÂ’s still pretty funny. That and you have a cameo from Batman.

Ever wonder what celebrity would be a perfect match for you? No, well neither did I, but I found this Celebrity match finder. You set the criteria and it finds someone that is supposed to be a perfect match for you.

I nailed Elizabeth HurleyÂ… er I mean I scored Elizabeth Hurley, uh I came.. Okay IÂ’m just not going that far.

“Oh Randy, now that you’re here in Oakland, your tankin'. Wish we would send you away. Oh Randy! When I think of the coin that you’re bankin’, really need you to play.”

A tribute song to Randy Moss from a very disgruntled Oakland Raider fan to the tune of Barry ManilowÂ’s Mandy. ItÂ’s just a matter of time before the fans revolt and shank the guy.

I am a bad, bad man. It has been a month since my last beer review. Since IÂ’m pretty sure none of you want to hear my lame excuse, IÂ’m going to spare you the horrible lie. After Tommyknocker Butthead beer I reviewed last time, I picked up a sample back of all their brews. Sure, maybe thatÂ’s cheating, but hey IÂ’m the one drinking it! Tonight I had the Jack Whacker Wheat Ale by the Tommyknocker brewery and pub.

The bottle is your standard brown bottle with a front and back label. The front label has a miner getting kicked in the arse by a mule. On the back label there is a description of what a Jack Whacker is, “The Jack Whacker’s role was to whip the last mule to keep the supply train moving along.” Gee, and this whole time I always thought it was the teenager that locks himself in the bathroom. Again we have a date system that tells me that this beer was bottled August 28, 2006. I have just until after Christmas to drink the beer in the recommended time frame.

Jack Whacker has a cloudy straw color to it. You can see sediment in it that after a while settles to the bottom of the beer. Fortunately even after sitting for a while, the sediment doesnÂ’t alter the flavor any. There is a thin filmy head, if you can call it that. There was no lacing and only a slight ring around the glass after a couple of minutes.

The smell is of wheat, citrus and lemon grass. ItÂ’s actually a pleasant scent that is different from what IÂ’m used to. The taste is a combined mix of wheat, spices and lemon grass. It is a bit of sweetness to it, but not too sweet. There is a slightly tart aftertaste that fades quickly in the mouth.

This is light bodied ale with a medium carbonation and a crispness that excites the tongue. ItÂ’s easy to drink and is satisfying. ItÂ’s a perfect beer for this unseasonably warm (54 Degree) November night. It embodies the sensations associated with good Autumnal ale.

Surprisingly to me I actually liked this beer. IÂ’ve found most wheat beers to be hit or miss. IÂ’m giving this ale a rating of 5.5 out of ten.

IÂ’ve never believed in the electronic voting machines being hacked theory that is floating around. ItÂ’s just way too big of a conspiracy theory for me to buy. They may be flawed, but I donÂ’t believe they are rigged or hacked. Then again living in Illinois I canÂ’t think of any voting method that isnÂ’t flawed. Hell I live in the same state as Chicago; we all know what they can do with ballots and a large body of water.

Tuesday night I did start to wonder how flawed our polling system is. The polls here closed at 7:00 PM, we didnÂ’t start getting election news/results until around 8:00. By 8:30 you still couldnÂ’t get an accurate picture of how the election was going. Depending on what news source you where looking at, they all give different figures. Three local channels, the local newspaper and two radio stations couldnÂ’t agree on any results. At a little past 9:00 PM one station declared Blagojevich the winner while another station showed Topinka in the lead. The newspaper had a state representative loosing as well as a US congressman, but two of the stations had them both winning. Some races showed really close in one place and on opponent to have a wide lead at others. No two had numbers that even resembled the other sources. It went on this way all night. I finally gave up watching and checking the results because it was frustrating and annoying.

I’m trying to figure out how all of these “reliable” news sources could have widely varying results. I know I’m not that savvy in the ways of how votes are counted and election results reported, but one would think they would have a least a uniform or single point of media release. I’m also wondering how accurate any of the election results actually where.

Yea, thatÂ’s another rung in my ladder of lost faith in our government.

For two weeks now IÂ’ve had an issue at work. There is one bathroom there that use when I need to empty my bowels. ItÂ’s the largest bathroom in the building, and the least used. It has four stalls and three urinals. For five years IÂ’ve been using the same bathroom and the same stall with out a problem. That is until two weeks ago.

I walked into the bathroom getting ready for my mid-morning constitutional. Heading into my stall to do my deed I stop dead in my tracks. All over the floor, the toilet and the seat is urine. GAH! Okay, I go to the next stall and itÂ’s fine. For one day I can use a different stall. The next day I return. Again someone has pissed all over the toilet and the seat. When I say pissed all over, it doesnÂ’t look like they intended to give the exterior of the toilet a golden shower. It looked like they had no control over the beginning and end of the stream. I head into the next stall and again it is covered in urine.

This has been going on for two weeks. What the hell?!?!?! First I want to know what guy would use a stall when there are perfectly good urinals available? I donÂ’t want to hear about two guys shouldnÂ’t pee in urinals next to each other. Bullshit, thatÂ’s what they are for, there are separators and at many places IÂ’ve seen guys lined up waiting to find any open urinal, mainly at football games. Now that isnÂ’t the case here. There is never enough traffic in this bathroom for all three urinals to be taken. There are not a lot of guys in the entire office, let alone in that part of the building. Whoever is doing this has some kind of issue with using a urinal.

Secondly I understand guys miss and at times there are drops on the floor. It happens, peeing standing up has its drawbacks. ItÂ’s either the floor or our pants. This was no one or two drops on the floor or the occasional post sex miss-spray. This guy has serious control issues. He gets it everywhere. ItÂ’s almost like heÂ’s afraid to touch his own unit in order to aim the damn thing. You can get away with that at a urinal, but when aiming for a toilet bowl you need to use some control. They donÂ’t aim themselves.

Thirdly, and most importantlyÂ… WHY THE HELL IS HE NOT CLEANING UP AFTER HIMSELF?!?!?! For the love of all that is good and holy if your going to piss on the seat and the toilet, take some farking toilet paper and wipe it up. If youÂ’re not going to do that, at least use the same toilet so that those of us that have to shite can use the other stalls. One day all four stalls were covered in urine drops! The cleaning crew only hits the bathrooms twice a day. Once around noon and again at night after everyone has left. Personally, I donÂ’t want to walk around with turd fighting against my sphincter for 2-3 hours until the cleaning crew comes in and makes the toilets useable again. I also shouldnÂ’t have to walk across the building looking at the busier bathrooms for an open stall.

The perpetrator is an evil vile person. They have to be doing this intentionally with malice in their heart. I think they are trying to mark the bathroom as their territory and discourage others from using it. I donÂ’t know why, but they must be trying to keep people from laying the big stinky while at work. Let me just say that nothing, NOTHING is going to stop the shite spewing forth from me!

Tonight after work I went out and did my civic duty and voted. Of course we had a dogÂ’s dinner choice for some of the positions. Now I know many people scoff at me for this, but being an Independent, I didnÂ’t feel the need to vote for either party in certain races. Thus I did the only other thing I could, I wrote in people I felt would do a better job.

For Governor of Illinois: Myself. Hell, whatÂ’s the worst I could do? Looking at the choices, I figured I couldnÂ’t screw things up much worse then either of them can or have.

For Congress: I wrote in General John Borling. I donÂ’t agree with all of his platforms, but I agree with him on more then the other two. Plus I agree with his stance that both the Republicans and Democrats are out for themselves. In this race IÂ’d just love to see him actually place high enough to send a loud message to both parties in this state. According to a radio interview I heard a Republican or Democrat needs 600 signatures to get on the ballot, other parties need 900, however an Independent needs 16,000. Instead of wasting money and time he decided to run a write in-campaign. I may be off on the number of votes as it was two weeks ago I heard the interview, but it was some ridiculous larger number of signatures he would need.

For Illinois General Assembly: I wrote in Ktreva. The incumbent, Chuck Jefferson, ran unopposed and I donÂ’t agree with the man on nearly every point of his politics. Thus it was either write someone in or donÂ’t vote for that race at all.

For the School Superintendent: I wrote in my buddy Wes. IÂ’d like to see him in charge of the schools. It could get interesting. Again there was only one name on the ballot, and I didnÂ’t like the choice.

So there you have it people. If you donÂ’t like the candidates you can write people in. Is it throwing your vote away? Yea, it probably is. However, if enough people do it, maybe it will send up a red warning flag that we want real candidates and not the idiots that are being put forth in their place.

1 You voted... that's the important thing. But I do like your choices. I think you'd make a spendid governor... not just "do better" than the two pretty lame choices. You'd rock! You should've campaigned on your blog. :-)

2 Heh. Me, School Superintendent....

My acceptance speech would start out something like, "I won?? What the hell were *you* thinkin'?! I didn't even know I was running!"

It would make for some fun though.... :-)

My Buddy Shadoglare told me I needed to check out Its Jihad Charlie Brown. Since I found much amusement in it, I figured it was my duty to share it with all of you. It's from the Dennis Leary Christmas Special. Which would be appropriate since I think he has no qualms about pissing everyone off. Still, funniest thing I've seen in a while.

Thanks Shadoglare, it made my morning!
