Appeasing the Rock Gods
Bravo Kelly: Why are there no good concerts in Portland this summer?
fargosucks: because we have angered the rock gods in some way or another.
fargosucks: I keep calling for us to sacrifice Art Alexakis, but no one seems to think it will help
Bravo Kelly: Do it, anyway.
fargosucks: I plan on it, for my own gratification.

This guy, Orson Swindle or whatever you want to call him, gobbles up half of my free time at work. I read EveryDayShouldBeSaturday religiously, which is to say that I kneel in front of an altar, drink wine and eat tasteless wafers while reading it.

Fuck...
I think my network hard drive just bit the big one-less than a year after we bought the damn thing, no less. Sure, the status light is on, but it’s non-existant on our Network places and if I try to connect to it through it’s USB2.0 connection, it is likewise unresponsive. Thankfully, we have all of our photos from the last six years backed up, along with all of the video that we...

I think I’m going to be sick… Honestly, how can we allow these oil companies to continue to post record profits and by raising prices worldwide? Meanwhile, vast swaths of our own country are looking like third-world nations, with familes and small businesses floundering in the face of high gas and food prices. Something stinks in all of this. I get the feeling we’ve been fucked...

Happenstance
Mr. Glover and I both tried to use the water fountain at the same time. Because my wonderful wife works at Nike WHQ, I get to go and use the facilities there, which are top-notch. This past Monday, I was on the treadmill, watching the Cavs and Wizards play game 2 of their series, occasionally glancing further in my depth of field to watch the rain pound down on another stellar Oregon April day....

Mr. Zirkle, sir, you are a special kind of stupid. I’ll send my team of...

Hillrod?
Honestly, Hillary, honestly. You ended up scraping out a 9.2% win over Barack Obama in the Pennsylvania primary last night and now you declare that the tide is turning and that he can’t close you out when your back is against the wall? Honestly? How stupid do you take us to be? As many of us know, you had a 20+% lead in Pennsylvania’s polling for months before you two started your...

What kind of balls must it take to put that on a sign in front of a church, thereby marking everyone that attends that church as a racist, whether they are or not. That’s just awful and I hope he gets de-frocked, or whatever the hell you call it when a pastor...
