But this goes no way to explaining why the people of a state would demand blood sacrifice for murder, even when there is no good reason to think that the person you are killing committed the crime. Does anyone have any idea why the people of Texas tolerate what looks suspiciously like judicial murd...

...and another "bad" story, this one takes place in San Diego. I had just driven out to San Diego from Pennsylvania. I believe it was my second night in town. I was taking some kids to a hotel to drop them off for the evening (this was around 1:00 am). I came upon one of those four-way int...

First things first. No matter what walk of life, occupation, etc, you will ALWAYS find folks who're simply pricks for the sake of being pricks. Unfortunetly, there's a larger ratio of pricks/stupid people to normal, well-behaved/professional folks within certain areas. I believe that the Police have...

...in no particular order: 1. Entire "Lord of the Rings" trilogy 2. "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" 3. "Labyrinth" 4. "Pink Floyd: Live in Pompeii" more of a "concert" rather than a movie, but what the hell... 5. "Masked and Anonymous" 6....

Can you think any other kind of being you might possibly be, other than human?

...well, as far as I know, I am only human. Whatever that means.

...Well, don't get Flagstaff confused with Phoenix. Here in Flagstaff, we're over 7000 feet above sea level. Unlike Phoenix (or even anywhere 45 minutes south of us), Flagstaff gets the four seasons. Most of the trees in Flag are pine and aspen, the latter turning to a really nice golden-yellow duri...

J.L. Hunter "Red" Rountree, the nation's oldest known bank robber, who turned to crime in his 80s and said the robberies made him feel good for days afterward, died in a prison hospital. He was 92. ...Y'know, that's not a bad idea. I've always said that when I'm old and gray, and I've not...

...I don't know about it sounding like Christmas around here (havn't paid any attention to what's on the radio or on the speakers at my local grocery market), but it sure as hell has been looking a lot like Christmas in my neck of the woods. The snow has been coming down. As far as Christmas tunes g...

First and foremost I consider myself a human being, existing on this pale blue dot we call Earth as it floats through the solar system which in turn sprials around in a Galaxy that floats through the Universe. After putting all of that into context, it seems quite trivial to then label myself as an ...

How do you get a drummer to start practing?
Start tuning your guitar.

...ummmm, no comment.

...about getting them high notes right. It just takes some practice to become familiar with how hard you've got to blow to get the higher notes to sound right. When you're playing the lower/regular notes, you'll notice that you don't need to blow too hard. You will, however, have to blow quite a bit...

...and I thought that cellphones were pointless. I want a Vodophone!!!

There are lots of reasons for doing graffiti. I think that many consider graffiti to be an art form, and therefore I don't think that the Internet would be a useful device in furthering that particular art form. Personally, I could care less about graffiti. I don't really pay attention to it. "...

yeah...I've got some G-Mail accounts to give away, too. PM me if you wanna...
