Why to work at a video rental store


There was a time, long ago when I worked in a video rental store. This was before DVDs were popular, but long after Beta-Max had been taken out to a field and shot in its stupid face. The store, which will remain unnamed (not that it exists anymore, but it sounds cooler if I don’t name it) was the kind of place that had a fantastically large budget which allowed better investment into marketing. Put the company’s name on the sign? No. We kept it simple with a red sign above the door proclaiming, “VIDEO” loud and clear to anyone who’s car broke down in front of the property, or if your car was wheelless and already up on blocks in front of the store. |inline

Alien Governments, Feral Children, and the Page 5 Girl


Just once I’d like to see a tabloid story about Oprah Winfrey being addicted to heroin, or better yet, huffing spray paint.

At least they’re not wearing authentic deer urine.


Lately, in the new location I live in, I have seen quite a number of people wearing fancy camoflauge jackets. Mind you, these aren’t military surplus circa 1964, these are special jackets with camoflauge designed to look like the local folliage.

A couple of problems first come to mind:

1. As stated, I have seen them.
2. I have seen them in WAL-MART. Not even in the gardening section.

Laundry day?

Time in Dust


I made this years ago, it got up to number 12 on the Electronica charts from mp3.com. Stayed there for a while.

Like buying Fallafel from Bubba’s Barbeque


Note to self: A Chinese restaurant that has annexed a Teppan Gril & Sushi Bar, is still a Chinese Restaurant. Eat Sushi at your own Risk.

Piper


It has come to my attention that it might be difficult to pick the peppers and have them already be pickled.

If its possible to grow pre-pickled pepers, whats to stop chickens from giving us picked eggs? Or pigs from being born with pre-pickled feet?

me: Because if they do that after sundown on fridays… they turn into evil green Jews.
me: And terrorize the town until Gizmo saves the day
lunchbox: LOL
