10/26/2001There is a finite amount of good stuff on the Internet. I have seen it all. The rest of the stuff is junk.
10/24/2001And for those of you looking for information on the Ghost drum pedal, click here.
I am at a trade show today, so no big updates. I did find out that the Omar Hakim African mahogany snare drum is no longer available with gold hardware.
10/23/2001So I joined Disturbing Search Requests. How could you not after that last one...
Well, I had to get off my butt and change the link for Totally Useless to Random Abstract. Why? Well, Ron didn't renew the name, and now a porn site has picked it up. That's right, kids, Totally Useless is now a porn site. Ironic? No. Poetic.
If you go to Google, and look up ingrown toenail bass drum, guess what page comes up? I am not making this up.
10/22/2001So The Wop has turned me on to a tune called "Too Much Pork for Just One Fork." To pay him back, I give you another "too much pork product" tune. Here's Big Twist and the Mellow Fellows with Too Much Barbeque.
Chas. gave me a date book today. He says I'm the only guy who still uses one. I still have my date book from 1999 and 2000. So for fun, I counted the number of dates I played in 2000: 62. And if nothing cancels in 2001, I'll play, you guessed it, 62! Crazy. Not bad, I say, for a working stiff.
Hot single Taliban chicks!

10/19/2001A post on the RMMP news group started simply enough. "How many drums do you own?" Here was my response:
10/18/2001If I sell my GI Joe collection, I think I'll put the money towards a nice Dunnett snare drum. I fancy this one. It's stainless steel, in a finish that's like a stainless sink. His snares are all hand made, custom ordered, and named, not numbered. I think I'll ask him to call mine Josephine, after the GI Joes who gave their lives for it.
10/17/2001My daughter's cat, Rumpleteaser, is missing. We haven't seen him since Saturday. Keep your eyes open, would you. A picture of him is here.
10/16/2001I just noticed that Jim The educator capitalizes the T in "the," (which doesn't need to be) and not the E in "educator" (which should be). Now I know there must be a sensible reason for this. Keep tuned to his page to see what that reason is! (I'm all a-quiver with atici.... pation!)
10/15/2001I made a black bean soup for supper. It wasn't bad. Susan made some crescent rolls, using her stonreware. Now those were good.
This page has got some beer reviews. I haven't read the whole thing yet, but the review of Sam Adam's Tripple Bock is right on the money!
10/12/2001Lindsay! Where are you? You're not showing up in my stats! And Alison... how about you? Please come back!
10/11/2001GI JOE auction page.
Amanda McKenney's journal Amanda is a friend of mine. Her mom and i use to serve together on the board of directors for the Maine Theatre Guild. I just thought I'd mention her here.
Robohouse - What robot are you really? I stole this from Ron over at TU. How did I do?
I've been thinking about putting my old GI Joe stuff on ebay. If you want to see pictures of the collection, they are here. I had been saving them for a time when I might have a son. But he probably won't want to play with my old toys. I wouldn't want him to play with stuff that's fetching prices like these are!
10/9/2001I am the number one hit when you search bank of america sucks on Google. See, they will pay for their service, and that $14 for which I fought, but never got. They will feel my wrath!
Wow. I had a post get eaten. That hasn't happened for a long time. I mentioned: the yummy homemade salsa my wife put in the quesedeas last night, my changed layout, my new flash movie on the homepage, and how somebody hit my page looking for, and I'm not making this up, "you guesed it, frank stalone"
10/7/2001So I DJ'd the event from Hell last night. It was a 1971 class reunion. I basically broke down like this: "If you're playing a song I don't like, I hate you." Here are some comments:
10/6/2001More updates have been done to theGHOST Pedal pages. Check them out, I know you want to!
Last night, Susan was at a Christian Women's conference, and Julia stayed with my folks. So I watched Enemy At The Gates, which Susan didn't care about, ate a Big New Yorker pizza from Pizza Hut (which Susan doesn't like), and smoked a Cuban cigar (Sue doesn't smoke cigars). I did not drink a beer as originally intended, but it was still a successful evening. This morning I have to work at MIS, and this evening I'm DJing a class reunion. Fun fun!
10/5/2001Have you searched for desktop wallpaper lately? They've caught on to the whole pop up ad window thing. Click a link, and 4 other windows open. Today, I got this. Oh yeah, like I'm going to click that.
The reason I posted about that snare below is at the time, bidding was up to $760. Now, there have been 3 bid retractions. The biggest from the bidder who said "I thought I typed $350, not $750."
* When driving past a home entertainment giant, refer to it not as Blockbuster, but as Cropduster.
10/4/2001You can buy this drum new for $419 plus shipping.
10/3/2001I'm looking for a print. Of course, I'm still looking for a copy of Andy Wyeth's "Sailor's Valentine" for my sister. Now, I'm looking for a print called "La Gorda" by Antonio Reynoso. It's a B&W print of a Reubenesque Spanish woman nude in a doorway, back to us, drying her hair. It's fantastic. And unavailable.
Today I figured out form-to-mail. Major props to Mike Young for showing me how easy it really is.
I've met two people today who didn't know the myth of Gren M&Ms. And they were both here at the office. I thought everyone new that Van Halen use to put in their contract rider that promoters needed to put punch bowls full of green M&Ms back stage.
10/2/2001This rack, now discontinued, is the one I want, on sale, in the right color, no less!
Bin Laden Liquors - The Game This cool game allows you to shoot Bin Laden. Sweet!
I almost want to bid on this.
10/1/2001See the 2 big hairs in the front? They still owe me money from the recording session. I just listened to one of the tunes on MP3. It's not me. That drummer is worse than me, can you believe it! I see they've made 38 cents so far. My $100 won't be comming soon, huh.
Make your own Draino bomb. That's right kiddies, it's science! Sombody dropped 4-5 of these on a friends driveway last night. Scared his kids silly. Just to see how easy it would be to find on the Internet, I searched. It was the first time I've searched for bomb making supplies, mind. I found the recipie in like 2 minutes. Don't make these at home. Please don't. Parrents: your kids can find this stuff. Watch them while they surf.
