Family Guy and the rest of that nonsense


Family Guy... its a show that you either love it or hate it. I'm one of those cats that doesn't care for it. My brother digs it. He watches that and the Cleveland Show. Shock humor isn't my cup of tea. Fox has a sick sense of humor. These cats kill liberals in the day time and laugh at the conservatives at night. I read an article on Yahoo talking about an episode where they poke fun at Sarah Palin's youngest child who has down syndrome. How and why? Now im not a fan of Sarah Palin but some stuff should be just off limits in my opinion. Now for you avid nerds and big brains who like to go goo gaa over free speech, I can dig it. But you dont have a right to scream fire and in a crowded building, let alone make fun of a someone who is raising a special needs child. Then again we are talking about Fox. The biggest hypocrites on the planet.

Some would say humor is humor. Not hardly. While I dig cartoons and all. I think people have just hit the bottom of the barrel and shows like family guy and that ilk are evidence of it. I guess there is a market for these losers. You gotta love dorks and their poor sense of humor. Yeah i dont get it which is why I dont watch it. Mindless garbage has to make some sense and even be responsible at times. It is what it is. Clowns.

Starship Warp Drive Babble...

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn18532-starship-pilots-speed-kills-especially-warp-speed.html

Interesting article... check out the comments below the article.

Here are my favorites.

The way the article is written one would think they know for sure - like they had a warp drive. This stuff is old hat and anyway:

1) It would be easy to ionise the on-coming interstellar hydrogen. It would then be easy to deflect it by a magnet and the Lorenz force F = qv x B. The faster the force the more the deflection.

2) Warp drive isn't actually moving through space but moving a bubble of space through space such that locally speed doesn't violate 'c'.




CAN YOU BELIEVE THES NERDS?

Congrats To New Orleans Saints


I remember during and after Hurricane Katrina, watching hundreds of cars pouring into Houston from New Orleans and the surrounding areas.

I remember watching the news footage of the city of New Orleans underwater.

I remember seeing the faces of the people of New Orleans in shelters and at the Louisiana Superdome.

I remember what many people said on the radio about some of the people of New Orleans coming into Houston.

I remember seeing those crying children on television desparate for water.

I remember all of those things.

I remember the New Orleans Saints having to play games on the road because the Superdome was not suitable to play in.

Now...

The city of New Orleans is the focus of the world, for nothing else but this day. They are champions of the greatest sport in our country. They sit on top of the National Football League as its best. They came into the game as the underdog but as anybody knows... every dog has its day.

I salute state of Louisiana.
You will always have a share of my heart.
Your food.
Your hospitality.
Your accents.
Cajun and Creole.
There are none like you in this great country we live in.
Enjoy and celebrate like only you can.
This Texan loves you.
I celebrate with you.
WHO DAT?

The Return to the Moon... Not!!


Okay... I have a dumb question. What is the point of going back to the moon? NASA's feelings have been hurt by our dear president. Let me get this straight NASA, you wanna go back to the moon? For what? What is to be gained going back there... if in fact you even went there? (but thats another story). I understand you feel that you gotta be numero uno in space travel and the whole nine but going back to the moon. It sounds like a bad Rush song title. Why dont you just put on that old school Ozzy Osborne album, Bark at the Moon and call it a day. Sheesh, you think we throw away enough money as is. Give it a rest NASA. The economy is jacked up and you wanna spend billions to make a second trip to the moon.

Black Superheroes





When I was coming up. Comics were the thing and still are in some ways. My father collected comics, my brother and I collected books. Yet, you know whats a shame. Neither one of us kept our books. Either we sold them, trashed them, traded them or just plain forgot about them altogether. My brother was the biggest collector among us. He was an X-Men fanatic. He was the type of dude that bought all of the X-Men titles, classic, 2099, the off-shoots. By that time, the price of books began to sky rocket. You see, I used to buy books when they cost .25 cents. Yeah Im dating my self. Man, I feel like a relic. Back then unfortunately, the Black superhero was a novelty. You had cats like Falcon (who was a token that many times was paired with Captain America. Black Lightning was a ghetto comic. Dude had a fro, and a vocabulary with words like sucker, jive turkey and what not. Talk about stereotypical. Yet, I bought those books because like the NAACP, it was an image that was lacking in the comic book world.

For whatever reason, whether it was women or my penchant for just losing interest in things. I stop buying and reading comics. Until a few years ago. I stopped at a flea market here in Houston and ran into an older sister who sold comics. Yeah I know, not something you see everyday. Yet, she introduced me to probably one of my most favorite comics of all time. It was a comic about a black man who sold his soul to a demon to see his wife. Yeah, I said the same thing. Why a brother gotta have all the bad luck. That title was Spawn. Image comics was new back then and Spawn a few years later blew up. HBO. Toys. A movie. And a bun with seseme seeds.

Well not too far after that, came Milestone. Good material. Too bad Milestone didnt have the support. Blood Syndicate, Hardware, Icon and a list of others were the new cats on the block. Unfortunately, only Static survived. I dont know why but it did. They even made it into a cartoon. It was cool but it was not in my opinion the best book in the Milestone catalog.

Today really only one Black Superhero stands out. Black Panther. Marvel has been playing footsie with this character for years. However, that has changed. Which is cool. Blade is solid but its comic book was just drowned by the movies. Which in the case of Blade was good. Otherwise, Blade would have been a casualty of a fickle comic market.

Yes, its good to see somebody look like me in comic books. I enjoy the stories still to this day. I just wish that more of our youth would look into comics. Instead when I go to the comic book store, its 30 and 40 somethings buying the books. Gone are the days when you could go to 7-11 and spin the comic magazine rack and find Hulk, Captain America, Batman, X-Men, Fantasic Four and the like. Man, times have changed.

Super Bowl Is On Deck


COLTS VS SAINTS

Yeah Im looking forward to this. Man, if the Saints get half the pressure on Peyton Manning like they did on Brett Favre. The Big Easy will be rockin for a long time. However, Manning is a surgeon and if he is feeling it, it will be a long day for the Saints defense.

Im calling my shot. Saints 35 Colts 27.

Got go with the underdog baby.
Who Dat gonna beat dem Saints.

Artificial Intelligence Has Gone To Hell






Well.
For those losers that cannot get a woman to talk to them, let alone have sex with them. Some dude named Douglas Hines has answered your little itching crotches wishes. Dude has invented a robot that talks and has sex. Thats right ladies, no longer do you guys have unique attention of buying adult toys. This little gadget has nerds and perverts excited. Apparently dude showed up at a sex convention and became the man.

Man... This is so ridiculous on so many fronts. I cannot believe I even bother to type of few words on this nonsense. I guess it is technology though. lol Guys going from blow up dolls to full size robotic action. Apparently this "woman" can talk to you about your interests as well. Oh sure, just what you need. A chica that knows the Emimem's verse on the song Forever or why DC wont get off the pot and finally give Dr. Fate his respective book. Oh Im sorry, that's my mind typing out loud.

Apparently, dude is getting paid. Its a lot of lonely guys in this world. Here's a thought fellas, clean yourselves up, back away from the Halo tournament, and the valet parking at your neighborhood scrip club (thanks Pac Man Jones), put down the energy drink and head over to a nice coffee shop or bookstore and practice your communicating skills with the opposite sex.

This invention maybe a pervert's dream but besides it not being able to cook you a pot of red kidney beans or a fried boloney sandwich. It cannot smile or tell you that you are screwing up. Sometimes fellas, you need a woman to tell you that. Sure, you may not like to be nagged but if this is your solution to your problems, then man you need help and all the technology in the world cannot help you. Nice going losers. Next.
