2 down 1 to go--Eod @11:58PM

Woooo, my last final is this morning.. I can hardly contain myself, after I finsh this up, I'm never letting myself get so far behind in classes. This has been a shitty past month, with work and school beating the shit out of my life. I'll be able to update at full steam once I finsh this final up.

Whats cool now days--Eod @11:46PM

Hey read Classic PenIs by checking out the archives. Old PenIs is as fun as New PenIs. Relive the good ol' days.

Message Board--Eod @11:46AM

I've been spending the better part of this morning looking for a new message board. I found one that looked promising it was at talkdungeon.com. Infact the link to the message baord there is http://www.talkdungeon.com/talk/eod/index.html but it doesn't allow swearing. FUCK! I'm gonna need your guys help. What setup would you like to see? (No UBB or anything that shit cost to much money) Something cool, simple, and cheap (free). Go ahead and drop me an email or aim, I also plan to transfer most of the old messages because we have some classic posts in there.

Tuesday, 3.141592 (pi day!) 2000

3.14 the magic number--Eod @6:46PM

Well you may notice the top date bar showing that today is indeed PI day 3.14 (ignore the 2000 part). Now don't get this confused with BAMF's Pieclopedia. Actually the correct day to celebrate pi day would be 3-14-1592 because it would be a more accurate representation of pi but I'd hate to see the lag bringing up this site from a computer back in 1592. Anyways here are some tastey pi links.

3.14 --- 3.552567853(Early pentium version of pi) --- e^(pi*i)+1 = 0 --- PI(the song)

Boy will my arms be tired --Weishaupt @12:41PM PST

Oopsie! Well, it's not the most extensively planned trip I've ever taken, but I'm leaving for Illinois today for a week and a half. I'll get to see the folks, and my brother Fenomas. I bought my ticket this morning, so you know they stuck it to me like a gay convict. That's okay, I'm just thinking of it as recirculating some of the ill-gotten wealth that the Feds overpaid me with. So, sadly, updates from me are gonna be kinda sparse for the next two weeks, and no audio/visual filth from the archive will be forthcoming, so to tide the PenIs spirit in you over, I'd like to leave you with this remarkable video clip. I suppose it may have been posted on some other sites already, but when I ran across it, I just felt that I had to distribute it to as wide an audience as possible. The clip is of a new (to me) sexual position, which might be described as "butt-balancing," but no explanation will serve, you're just gonna have to check it out. I'll be checking email and dropping by periodically to check on things, but I'll be mired in modem-land, so please don't email pix or clips until I get back to sweet, sweet broadband.

I Love Hatemail --Weishaupt @11:19PM PST

I just had to respond when I saw the impassioned plea that our pal Zippy, recounted in the Message Board. You ought to go read his entire sad story, but here's a snippet from the end:

Can i EVER break free from her? do the guys out there know what im talking about? have you ever had that feeling when with one sentence, with one breath, girls can change your whole day?
Well, I can personally tell you I know exactly where you're coming from. Especially if you substitute "restraining order" for "one sentence, one breath". The fundamental problem is that women are essentially petulant, fickle creatures, whose whims change with the wind. The brains of women, much like those of cats, are so structured as to make deep contemplation impossible, because the forebrain is distracted by a perpetual stream of random everyday trivia - shopping, romance novels, frilly underthings, and so forth. I understand that a team of Russian scientists recently mapped the substructure of the female brain (located in the lower abdomen, just above the hind legs) which derives intense pleasure from the sexual frustration of nearby men. And additionally, women are cruel, evil things whose hearts beat not blood, like yours and mine, but a viscous black oily fuild.

Hope this clears things up for you, Zippy! Pretty much your only two choices are to become a coldhearted jock who uses women for sex, or gay. Either way, your first stop is at the Structures in the mall.

Submissions--Eod @5:46PM

We have been toying with the idea of taking some reader submissions for articles, though we haven't recieved any articles we have recieved some good writings that would qualify as posts

This first post is from a good friend from Seattle, who used to work with me in this ghetto Arcade in seattle called Funplex.

Link - Driving through Hell

I'm on my way home from work today, driving through hell... Oh I mean lovely Fremont, and I'm coming up to a point in the road where the left lane stays on the fucking left, and the right lane has two choices: 1) Go left, 2) Go right. That's when this stupid bitch in a station wagon decides she wants to go left, but she wants to do it in my lane. So she makes use of her left turn signal so that everyone knows she is planning on turning left sometime in the near future, but not before she merges into the right fucking lane. FUCKING HO!!! Last time I fucking checked, you weren't supposed to use the turn signal opposite of the way you were pointing your car. fuck fuck fuck.... nothing pisses me off more than stupid bitches that can't drive.

Now, you might be thinking "well that happens to everyone... so what's the big deal?" That's it exactly, it happens to everyone!!! Far to fucking often to have any type of productive lifestyle while in the car. I have enough shit to worry about without having to baby-sit everyone else on the fucking road.

I think I'm going to buy a gun...

Ok, so now I should probably give my intro. I am Link. I live in Seattle and I have known eod and josh for some time.

Now go take on the day--Eod @5:23PM

Well looks like Dr. Laura has gotten herself into a bit of trouble. Couple weeks ago on her radio show doing one of her stupid various rants. She got on the topic of homosexuality and proceeded to bash/belittle homosexuals. Couple days later, Dr Laura has released a public statement

In the recent, very public dialogue concerning my upcoming television show and my religious beliefs about homosexuality, many things have been said. Some are true. Many, unfortunately, are not. But one inviolate truth is that I never intend to hurt anyone or contribute in any way to an atmosphere of hate or intolerance.
I love the line Some are true. Many, Unfortunately, are not. After I translated it through babblefish from "Dr Laura" to "English" it came out.
Some of my rants about flaming butt pirates are true, like the guy who farted during anal sex and his partner's PenIs was knocked inside his own body, that really happened because fags are devil worshipping freaks. Many unfortunately are not, like "all gay men love to drive Mazda miata's" I just made up weird lies because I generally hate everyone out there and I'd like to state that penismightier rocks"
Doctor, the PenIs staff is happy that you enjoy the site but we do not share your views of hatred. You'll have to share your views of hatred with millions of listeners and followers daily, keep it up. One thing we'd like to share with you and everyone on the site are your nekkid pictures.

Now go take on the day (nekkid dr laura pics)

I'll give a tip for that --Weishaupt @1:42AM PST

Sorry for no filthy weirdness Sunday, it was kind of a slow day for the PenIs staff, what with Church and all. And incidentally, I'd like to say that I am pretty sick of the Church we've been attending. If they throw us out of there one or two more times, I'm just gonna stop going. The nerve of them. I mean, when the fuck did nuns get so skittish? You barely even have to touch em, they go certifiably nuts. And as far as Sunday School goes, yeah, I'm sure all those kids were just so pure and innocent that hearing a couple of cusswords scarred em for life. And I didn't even say "Fuck!" All I said was "Damn," and maybe "asshole" a few times. That's not so bad, is it? Well, OK, I also said "twat." I felt pretty bad about that, because they're just little kids and all, so I went ahead and explained what it meant.

So now that I've been cleansed of sin for the week, it's time to start earning up evil for next Sunday's visit! The march of oddness from my harddrive spring cleaning continues with a little number I like to call Say, the waitresses sure are friendly 'round these parts!

Weishaupt and Eod: Cancer Survivors --Weishaupt @9:54PM PST

Badassmofo finally gets back up at their normal address, and now Bence goes and moves. And incidentally, I can't believe Bence doesn't have a link to us, considering that thing he has for Eod's girlfriend. So anyway, I fixed the links on the bar to the right, which we really ought to add to. I've also snagged that eodcam image for all posterity. Enjoy your silly voices while you can Eod.

Weishaupt and Eod: Cancer Survivors --Weishaupt @6:53PM PST

Wow, according to this article, a group of Spanish researchers has found marijuana to help eradicate malignant glioma, e.g. cancer of the glial cells in the brain. In an unrelated incident, I've analyzed Eod's blood, and he has malignant glioma. And he analyzed mine, and I have it too. Damn shame, huh? Pray for us. But at least the healing can begin. Now it's time to get to the, um, physical therapy.

And on a (slightly) related note, have you noticed how all the research on marijuana from inside the US proves how harmful it is, and all the research from outside the US shows it to be beneficial? Cooincidentally, this trend started right about the same time the Dept. of Health and Human Services announced that they would only approve experimental marijuana to groups trying to demonstrate its harmfulness. Thank you, Donna Shalala, Babylonian whore of the prison-building lobby!

It's a JPG blowout! --Weishaupt @4:16PM PST

Yet more fallout from the spring cleaning of Weishaupt's hard drive. Here's something amusing that I like to call The Well-Hung Lesbian.

It's really very simple --Weishaupt @12:58AM PST

Nice armless.

Bad Armless.

Here's Something Stupid --Weishaupt @um, around 4PM PST

Hey, look, it's old-time pornography just like gran'pa used to whack off to! Just do that clickin thing on the picture or go check it out in the Crapper.

Working hard? or Hardly working?--Eod @12:23PM

Article here

Human resource directors at 224 companies responded in a nationwide survey that 64.3 percent of their companies had disciplined workers for abusing the Internet, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported in today's editions. Thirty percent of the participants surveyed said that employees had been fired at their companies for wrongful use of the Internet.
64.3%? Come on people, I hope more of you begin abusing your connection at work and view the PenIs page. I know I abuse mine for 8 hours a day. I'd feel honored if people read the page from work. Want something funny? Look at this.

I'm kind of curious as to the circumstances under which that picture was taken. Looks painful. But fear not, I've just started to skim the archive of oddity in my pictures folder, more filth a-comin. And incidentally, muchos gracias to my good friend and bitter former lover Biznich for passing along a highly entertaining review of that kung-fu flick I mentioned a few days ago, Crippled Masters. It's not on TV very often, so you'll probly have to make do with the review. And while I'm on the subject of late-night TV, has anyone seen the Starship Troopers CGI series that the Sci-Fi channel shows late at night? It looks teriffic, I can't fucking believe that much effort goes into a half-hour cartoon at 4 in the morning on the Sci-Fi channel. Check out the remarkably extensive fansite. And while you're doing that, pinch your nipple. No, really hard. You like that? Yeah, I knew you would.

SUVs and flying dogs--Eod @11:23PM

Police in San Jose, Calif., are looking for the driver of a black sport-utility vehicle with Virginia plates who is suspected of yanking Leo, a 10-year-old bichon frise, out of a woman's car and throwing the dog onto a busy road, where he scampered around frantically until he was struck and killed.
Grrrr... Bichons... Grrr.... SUVs....

Leo's owner admits bumping the man's vehicle with her station wagon as she maneuvered through bumper-to-bumper traffic on a rainy night last month. Sara McBurnett said the man got out and approached her car. When she rolled down her window to apologize, she said, Leo excitedly leapt into her lap as he often did at the bank when the teller would give him a dog biscuit.
Biscuit my ass, the dog was doing what is born to do.. Be fucking annoying and yappy. Still you have to be insane to walk up to someones car, grab there dog and throw it into the oncoming traffic. Kinda sucks, we are becoming such a fucking wierd society, I don't know what that man planned to accomplish by throwing the little dog into oncoming traffic, but all I gotta say is another strike against those damned SUV drivers. The dog wasn't driving the lady was, he should of thrown the lady into oncoming traffic. Course he was an SUV driver what do you expect from those lane sweeping, no turn signal using, bright headlights in my mirror, dog throwing fools.

And yes it sucks about the little dog. Read it all here

A Lesson--Josh @2:19 PM

Let's get it on!
Eod had to teach me about this...

RE: Gas prices--Eod @11:23AM

Lets try this again. I made a post bitching about current gas prices rising in the US. I guess I have no right to bitch.

I posted something similar about gas prices a week or so ago on my site (www.retrogames.com) The current price for a gallon here in The Netherlands is way over $5 and is still rising ... Atila www.retrogames.com
They have cars in the Netherlands? Check out retrogames.com pretty cool site
Love the site, was suprised to see the reaction the price of your petrol.

In the UK we have just breached the £4 a gallon mark. Thats gotta be like 6-7 bucks or something! So really you cant complain just yet :) We also have to pay over £100 Road Tax a year just to be able to keep a vehicle on the road. Sucks big time. All part of our shitty governments anti Car, pro Public Transport bullshit policy. Heres the real irony, the goverment KNOWS full well that public transport here is too shit to be of use to anyone, so we simply have to pay the extra petrol / road tax. And where does this extra money go? Into improving public transport? No, its used to balance the budget and make the Goverment look good.

WANKERS!

Rant over, keep up the entertaining work :) And spare a thought for us Brits next time you fill up your gas guzzler!

Chrono

Well $2.00 is still a lot, come on I'm from the US we are supposed to bitch about things. Hey careful or I'll sue ya, or maybe I'll bitch at ya, or maybe we can play some football (american style) which is like your rugby except we where pads and have to protect our selves which rugby players don't. hmmm.. U.S.A!


Homesite crashed right before I could save my last post. Goodbye homesite and hello notepad.

Wednesday, March 8th, 2000

Oh yeah, and I'd like to thank our good friend Hugh, who was kind enough to take a picture of his wife's breast. Thanks, buddy. Incidentally, he also apparently had a baby girl, who is also pictured. As to why she's flipping us off, I can only assume that has something to do with Hugh's weird genes. Congratulations, Hugh, now where the hell's my cigar?

If you're not unemployed like me, you probably missed one of the coolest kung-fu movies of all time last night on TNT. At about two in the morning they showed Crippled Masters. It was about a kung-fu master with no arms (well, OK, he had kind of a stump he could spin a staff around) and a kung-fu master with deformed, useless legs trying to kill a kung-fu master (pretty much every character was a kung-fu master) with a hump. The fight scenes kicked total ass, and I highly reccomend this movie to anyone who stares at cripples in the mall.

Schiff, daughter of Vice President Al Gore, thanked supporters on her father's behalf at a Greenwich Village union hall, schmoozed with scores of backers and left the building with two Democratic aides shortly before 11 p.m.

The trio tried to hail a taxi in the drizzling rain, but a steady wave of yellow passed them by. They hoofed it four blocks, and, with a little persuasion, snagged an empty black limousine.

Oh boo hoo, you ain't president yet buddy, don't expect any sort of royal treatment. Hey I left this party once and I wandered around, no cab would stop for me then I passed out and these punk kids fucking robbed me. I didn't find any empty black limousine to get into and head home. Where was my EMPTY BLACK LIMOUSINE! WHERE!?

And thats all that happened in the news today.. Oh ya stuff happening in taiwan.

Well, it's spring cleaning time for Weishaupt's Links List, so here's some random crap for bored.

Weirdo #1 === Weirdo #2 === Weirdo #3
Weirdo #4 === Weirdo # 5

That'll keep ya busy for a while. Later tonight or tomorrow, I'll link up some silly movies to waste your bandwidth, too. I've also amassed quite an archive of crap from the seemier corners of the net that I have yet to look through, but as soon as I get some time I'll sit down and skim through it for the choice nuggets of oddness.

Tuesday, March 7th, 2000

Lately, I've gotten a few emails from people, like Willy Wong (whose name I swear I didn't make up) who are curious about J. Stile's latest escapadery and hooliganism, to wit:

YO man... ive been lookin at Stileprojects site all weekend... his final post said somethin bout a cool event happenin' at midnight.. all i see on his webcam is a body hangin from da ceiling... Did he kill himself?? the dood seems a bit outty the past few days...

Well, I don't think it's time for Stile's legions of followers to start committing mass suicide just yet. For one thing he has a long history of jerking our collective chains with fake hacks and fake legal problems and so forth. But mostly I think it's just my conviction that if Stile were gonna commit suicide on his webcam, he woulda gotten the aim right so his face would be in frame.

Have you noticed the price of gas lately? If you haven't you either (1) don't drive, (2) are so spoiled that you have your parents gas card and fill up your car without a care, or (3) your oblivious. For me to fill up with 92 octane it is 1.79/gallon. Prices this summer are expected to pass $2.00 a gallon. Now with the price of gas going up and me barely being able to commute to work a good thing will happen. With the price of gas soaring up, big ugly, lane drifting, soccer mom driving, no turn signal using, SUV drivers will be forced to either sell their big fawking double parking spot taking, driving into on coming traffic auto or use it for what it was made for. GOING OFF ROAD! This will make the freeways a hell of a lot safer, with a decrease of cell phone talking, latte drinking, yuppies the road will be full of people paying attention. To the people who can actually control there SUVs and not park like an ass... well I'm sorry but your gonna have to drive something that gets more than 10 mpg.

You can read about it here.

I notice we seem to be getting alot of hits from ohiou.edu lately. I don't know how we got a following there, but it's nice to see that we're popular in the midwest. Must be our down-home values and family-oriented content. Well, thanks for visiting guys, and in thanks to you, I include this story about an exceptionally stupid farmboy from Idaho (cmon, even Ohioans can laugh at Idaho). Incidentally, this was blatantly stolen from BeatDownPolice, yet another brand spankin new E/N page. Page looks good, fellas, so like any good PenIs always says, "Keep it up!"

Looks like scrappy AMD is gonna be first to release the 1 gig chip but intel is right behind them. Nothing good comes from all this rushing, sure we get the product sooner but we end up getting a crappy, rushed product. With all the rushing and racing one of them will make a mistake and release a crappy chip, the real question is who will slip up. Wanna read more? chew on this.

NEWS:

Updated 1:22 PM ET March 4, 2000 DARBY, Pa. (Reuters) - A Pennsylvania woman spent the better part of an hour shopping at a neighborhood grocery store without realizing that a passerby had stuck a knife into her neck, police said Saturday. Darlene Jones, 62, set out from home on foot before 7 a.m. Friday, when a running passerby slapped her on the back of the neck -- or so she thought. She kept on going, as if nothing had happened.

Only after she got home did her daughter notice the handle of a kitchen knife sticking out of her mother's neck. The daughter yanked out the blade, releasing a gush of blood, and quickly got her to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where she was listed in fair condition Saturday.


Ganked from here

Sorry I've been incommunicado for a few days, but our website finally has the legitimacy I've always hoped for: we've been notified that we are in violation of a Federal injunction. Apparently the Motion Picture Association of America was not too entertained by my recent article on DVD encryption. In the original article, I linked to DeCSS, the program a Norwegian kid wrote that un-encrypts DVDs. Well, some mentally deficient, backwoods knuckledragger of a judge granted an injunction against the distribution of DeCSS, as you can read in the letter, so we've removed the copy of DeCSS we had online. What can I say, we're a bunch of limp-wristed pansies. Anyone who still wants a copy should click on over to 2600's DeCSS Mirror Page, where you can find hundreds of people who still have the program up (either because they live outside the US, or because they have real lawyers). I won't go through the whole rant again on why DeCSS is important or why the MPAA are baboon-fuckers, but suffice it to say that Hollywood fucked up big time. Evidently, they seem to think that once something gets out onto the Internet, you can get the genie back in the bottle if you send out enough cease-and-desist letters. Well, Fuck you! ask this chick, it don't work that way fellas. My advice to the Hollywood lawyer-whores: stick to making movies, assholes.

ICQ from a reader named Kife:

sorry to desturbe you.. have you looked at the webcam on Stileproject.com
stiles dead...
Looks like the stress of being a webmaster is to much for master of pranks. Stile has now gone as far enough as to hang himself just because it will make his readers happy. Aww people he loves you really.. He has done it for you. In an interview with Bobbi Billard, a member of the Stile "Sercert Cam Page", she said "Talking is hard work" and she proceeded to giggle and fondle her breasts. More info when the cams update in 30 seconds.......(25 secs).... (30secs).... Welp looks like everyone is so stunned they are frozen in there poses. Or maybe none of them are in front of the cams. Damn these cams and damn the boat they road in on!

I live near the train tracks, infact my backyard of the apt is a small wooded gully and then the tracks, past the tracks is the Max line and past the Max line is I84 (A 6 lane freeway). This makes for some interesting living, between the trains and the max line causing near 5 point earthquakes every night the freeway always offers some excitment. The police tend to pull people over right by the apt, this makes for some excellent window watching around 1am. Normally we see people get pulled over each night sometimes if we are lucky a drunk guy gets out and tries to run toward the gully or the other side of the freeway. Course we also have the people who don't know how to pull over to the right and end up pulling over left and stopping in the fastline. Everytime the cops always turn on there PA system and shout some line of commands for them to follow which they have no idea how to follow. So we help the cops out and shout stuff to the drivers, you know like the good people we are helping out the men in blue. Sometimes we let out a big cheer when the drunk guy tries to run away.

Bah I'm going downstairs to see what Weis is doing. and yes that is an actual picture taken about 5 mins ago outside the back window of my apt.


Why is my dry beer so damn wet when I spill it--Eod @3:35PM

Most of the time it was probably real bad being stuck down in a dungeon. But some days, when there was a bad storm outside, you'd look out your little window and think, "Boy, I'm glad I'm not out in THAT."

DAMNIT ALL! DAMNIT STRAIGHT TO HELL!

Let me give you alittle history first. I don't think i'd own many Honda brand products just because I tend to shy away from plastic machinary. I did own one sweet Honda Elite 80cc Scooter. Notice the did portion of that last sentence. I did own one until last night. Now the scooter wasn't lowered, didn't have vtec, no fart pipe, no 19" rims, no cut springs, no wierd body kit.. Those are Honda Civics, this is a Scooter, a white and black scooter. Yes I drove a scooter for a while, laugh it up. But while I can park anywhere I want downtown you have to search for a lot, pay money and then hike back to your parking lot when your done and when I drive home I'm getting 60mpg. Anyways I hadn't driven it sence I got my Dub (VW Golf 2.0l modded with a TT straight thru exhaust and borla muffler, turn2 mount, k&n dropin, etc) so it sits in my parking space in the apt complex. I pulled in last night and someone had taken it. It was gone, not a trace of it anywhere. The wierd part is I had removed the sparkplug from it because I knew I wouldn't be driving it for a while and figured it would be best left immobile. Well whoever wanted it did not agree, someone would have to pull up in a truck and load it in and take off. So there goes my scooter, I filled a report with the cops and all but I've done it all to often. People jack shit to much, I wish they'd take it from someone who deserves it.

good idea: Getting your hair cut
bad idea: cutting your own hair in the bathroom of your apt 20 mins before your shift at work
Welp, time to goto work

Stile may have the hits, the crazy midget porn, the disturbing videos and all that jazz but his site attractes the most disturbing readers.

Hello Stile. Last night me and my friend were up late cause I found a dead cat and i wanted to skin it. So here we are at two in the morning on a friday night skinning a cat and dedicating it to you. There are pictures of the fully skined cat and even video of it half skinned with me, making it dance. She is just adorable. And now my friends dad just came in and asked us if we were using his hack saw to cut up dead carcases. Well he was right we used it on all the limbs and head. So Here are the picture files ziped up for you and there is even one with "Stile Sux!" written on its dead skinned carcass. The more skin the better. The videos if you like the pictures we will have to figure out how to send them to you. - Robert and B.J.
Ok I doubt that the picture of the cat is the actual cat they hurt, but it's so damn cute just makes you sad doesn't it? Even if the cat was dead already, it's just wrong. You can actually vote over at Stile's if you want his to post the pics of the cat or not.

PSX2--Eod @10:24AM

Ganked from gamespot.com

Nikkei Online on Wednesday reported something interesting for people who are planning to import a PlayStation2 from Japan. According to the article, transporting PS2 outside of Japan is prohibited by law. The Japanese PlayStation's official web site cites the following: "As of June 18, 1999, the International Foreign Exchange and Trade Law prohibits transporting of Sony PlayStation2 and the Sony PlayStation2 Memory Cards outside of Japan without a consent from the Department of Trade and Commerce." The report mentions that one of the possible reasons is because of the implementation of Sony's unique encryption technology, called Magic Gate, onto the PS2 memory card. This is the first time a game console has been given such prohibition, and whether this will have an impact on importing the PS2 in the future is yet to be determined. We'll keep you posted.

Doh, not only would importing the PSX2 get it in my hands quicker but would also be cheaper and would give me the added feature of DVD. I want my damn PSX2! Why does Japan get it first?

I was just reading some news about the RIAA's (Recording Industry Association of America) efforts in trying to stop the wide spread distribution of music all across the net. It seems they have been going crazy with suits against anybody that has anything to do with MP3s.

RIAA v. Diamond Multimedia Systems
RIAA v. Napster
RIAA v. Anyone thinking of trading an MP3
RIAA v. MP3.COM

Well I guess you better watch out if you have any MP3s on your harddrive, next thing you know you might have someone slapping you with a lawsuite just for listening to music on your own computer!

Lotta Water --ZJR @ 12:27:46 PM

So what's up with that flooding in Africa? I'm just like "Whoah... bummer dude. Weak"

quickie--Eod @10:35AM

Can anyone guess where this line came from:
...It's my belief that my big balls should be held every night

Source:The Express

The misery of Mozambique's floods produced a miracle yesterday when a baby girl was born in a tree where her mother had battled to stay alive for three days.

With a million people now homeless in the deluge, mother and child were dramatically plucked to safety by a South African helicopter crew...

Reporter Toni Reynecke, who witnessed the rescue, said: "A woman was climbing through the branches to reach the chopper but as she was climbing she was actually giving birth."

I wanna know if that afterbirth went to waste.

Another day has come to an end, and another day I didn't get to do jack shit for myself. I'm so glad that spring break is near, cause if my ulcer gets any bigger I'll probably just end up digesting myself. Sorry for these lame updates, but I've been working myself like a dog these past 2 weeks, course the extra pay is always nice. After I finish all this bullshit up at work/school I'm gonna redo a few parts of the site and put up some cool things I've been meaning to put up. For now I'm gonna go watch Akira in bed by myself because I have a girlfriend who is addicted to playing The Sims. Wait I'm not done.. Umm listen to this short .wav.
