The DIVORCE APE

    The Divorce Ape is thirty feet tall and stands close to the road near Chicago and Mound on the Southbound side of the street. It threatens passersby with its handful of inflated automobile, but I’m not intimidated and I hope my spouse isn’t either.

    The only thing it has to say is “DIVORCE”, which is strapped to its tummy and can be interpreted as a name or possibly a mission. The car could be symbolic of the loss of possessions many men expect they will be subjected to should the other boot ever fall, or it could just be a coincidence that the same simulated gas filled ape I saw last week pimping used vehicles at a disreputable lot was now threatening me.

Vampires: The New Sexy

    Twilight is pretty much the hottest thing out, right now. The first two films in the series have been breaking box office records, and your esteemed blogger Arthbard has just been given a special sneak preview of the third movie.
    I know! I was as surprised as anyone!
    Anyway, in this film Bella has a brand new vampire love interest who I predict is going to be even more popular than the Edward Cullen character of the previous films.
    The movie is still several months away from release, but I’m pleased to be able to show you this trailer, which is presented in comic format for some reason.
    Just go with it!

SafeTfit


Before- 230lbs (104kg)

After- 170lbs (77kg)
SafeTinspector’s Bullet Points of Fact and Braggarty*

  • I, SafeTinspector, lost sixty pounds and have kept it off for over a year.
  • I’m 37 and now weigh less than I did in my freshman year of high school.
  • I am more physically fit than at any time in my life.
  • Roughly 86% of people who first learn of these facts ask me some variation on the question, “what is your secret?”

    The reality is that I’ve got no secret. Many years ago Opus, a cyborg penguin sent to the year 1984 to kill a boy named Milo, attempted to lose weight through various complicated gimmicks and fads before finally exclaiming in exasperation, “there’s got to be some other way!”
    Milo leans in and says, “eat less and exercise,” to which Opus replies, “no, no, no! There’s got to be a simpler way.”
    Well, there’s not. Gimmicks and fads don’t work long-term because they aren’t designed to be a sustainable way of life or they exploit biological loopholes you must be in strict compliance with in order to succeed.**

    I lost my sixty pounds by eating less and exercising. I went from a 38” (96cm) waistline to a 32” (81cm) waistline, XL shirts to M shirts, L underpants to S underpants.
    It was NOT easy, but if you’re creative you can figure a way to trick yourself into doing it anyway.

    Yes, I tricked myself; which turns out to be the closest thing I have to a secret. Instead of trusting in my flaccid willpower to succeed, I treated my future self as the faithless jerk he’ll inevitably turn out to be and worked hard to reduce his temptations while making it as inconvenient as possible for him to cheat.

    I’ll give you some examples, details, and eventually we’ll get to physical exercise in the posts you’ll find here in the near future, I’m almost certain.

Modifications Entered

    I still haven’t figured out the speed problem I’ve been having here. I turned off widgets, plugins, rebuild the underlying databases, but no luck.
    I changed the theme (you might’ve noticed the awful new look) and that seemed to help a little bit, but not enough.

    I’ve a sneaking suspicion that I’ll have to export the mess and import it into a fresh install in order to get satisfaction.

    Off to bed, and thanks for stopping by. Please fill out the guest information card on your way out and see Judy to get your parking validated.

Not impressed? Note the number of hand-plants.

Speed problem resolved?

I haven’t been very regular with my postings for the last few months, and therefore when I noticed the site had grown slow, I put off investigating it.

Tonight I first upgraded to the latest version of WP and then took a closer look.
I found that SafeTserver had an outdated DNS nameserver defined and Akismet was timing out attempting to communicate with its web site.

Problem now solved, my site returns to its former glorious ignominy; carry on.

A Public Service Announcement

Police are warning about a new threat to our safety.

A new criminal walks our streets, threatening our way of life.

A criminal who invades our very homes.

For the past several months, this mysterious offender, known only as “The Bread Molester,” has been breaking into houses in order to stroke, grope, and otherwise fondle your bread.

Police sketch artists have issued this image based on witness descriptions:

The Bread Molester

Police are advising everyone to examine their bread carefully. You may have been a victim of the Bread Molester if your bread exhibits any of the following syptoms:

  • Traces of saliva
  • Penis-shaped holes
  • A mysterious white sauce of unknown origins

If you or anyone you know suspects that your bread has been molested, please:

  • Notify the police
  • Store the bread in a cool, dry place

and, above all else,

  • DO NOT EAT THE BREAD

Please! Warn your friends!

Spread the Word!

Protect your bread!

Only with your help can we ever hope to end the menace of

THE BREAD MOLESTER!

Palindromes Not Allowed

    I informed a customer yesterday that it was not possible to name his new server “BOB_BOB” because, for technical reasons, Microsoft operating systems do not allow for the use of palindromic names with an odd number of characters.

    ”This is why,” I told him, “you have never seen a Microsoft Exchange server named ‘MADAMIMADAM’.”
        ”It would be better,” I continued, “to name the server ‘BOBBOB’, as this is an even number of characters and would not result in the irrevocable loss of all your business data.”

Pot Pie Consumption

    VMWorld, for me, is about to end.

Do I regret not going to the big party last night? No. Not because I don’t like Foreigner (although I really wouldn’t care if they all got respectable jobs in the wholesale sourcing market and developed terminal palsy) nor because I don’t drink (I don’t). No, it was because VMWare wanted to charge me $279.00 in order to allow Heather to come as my guest.

I can buy a lot of top-shelf liquor and a few Foreigner box sets for that level of scratch.

So we took half that amount, bought a set of tickets for Wicked at the SF Orpheum and had a night of it.

First, it was necessary to fortify myself with a vegetable curry pot pie purchased from a pieman. (who let me sample his wares)

Shameless Self-Promotion

    Don’t get too excited. You’ve already seen essentially everything this cartoon has to offer. It was, however, suggested to me that I might as well try entering something into the Aniboom/Fox Holiday Animation Challenge, so I hastily edited together the first four Don Juan Frankenstein shorts into the form of this:

Watch more cool animation and creative cartoons at Aniboom

    The grand prize winner not only receives a large quantity of cash but also the opportunity for a development deal with Fox. Not that I’m holding out an inordinate amount of hope for that, but hey, if a hack like Seth MacFarlane can have two fucking shitty shows on that network, why not a hack like me?
    Which brings me to the point: Four of the five finalists will be selected by a mysterious Fox voting panel of mysterious voting. The fifth selection will be made by fans via a nearly equally mysterious voting process that I’m assuming is tied to the Aniboom rating system and/or the number of times a cartoon happens to be viewed. Honestly, I’m not exactly sure how it works, but if you’re so inclined, you’re more than free to drop by and rate me.
    Besides, my birthday’s coming up–I’m turning the big three-oh, as the silly people like to call it–and you know what I’d like more than anything? A development deal with Fox so that I can sneak into Seth MacFarlane’s office and shit on his desk while he’s out enjoying the fruits of being the highest-paid TV writer in history, for God’s sake. Please! Help me shit on Seth MacFarlane’s desk!
