Sweet, huh?

I just got back from seeing The Aristocrats. Man, did I laugh my ass off. It’s a documentary about a joke whose punch line is “The Aristocrats”. I’ve heard the joke before, and frankly thought an hour and a half documentary about it would be somewhat of a stretch, but I was pleasantly surprised. The list of comedians they lined up for this film was amazing. Emo Phillips and Steven Wright were even in it.
Let me also say that, without a doubt, that was, at least as far as language goes, the filthiest movie I have ever seen. To get sort of a sneak preview of what you’re in store for, you can check this link from the movie’s website. But, if you’re planning on seeing the movie, I would recommend not reading through that page. It doesn’t contain spoilers exactly, but it’s definitely funnier hearing it coming from the comedians. Especially some of the stuff that comes out of Bob Saget’s mouth (despite how you’ve seen him on Full House and whatever else he’s been in, that man is one filthy bastard). Read the page after you see the movie. As sort of a refresher, because with all the different versions of the joke floating around, it gets kind of hard to keep it all straight.
Anyway, if you’re the sort of person who’s easily offended, skip this one. But if you’re like me, it’s a laugh riot. My compliments to Paul and Penn.
In the wake of hurricane Katrina,, Planned Parenthood is donating free morning after pills.
Because you know, after losing your home and all your belongings, and perhaps friends or loved ones, then spending several days in a domed stadium with no air conditioning, fresh water, showers, or sewage service, people are just banging away like rabbits up in the cheap seats.
Thank goodness PP is there to help. What would the people of NOLA have done without them?
It could be rather unhealthy for you to refuse a lap dance these days. Just ask Melik Jordan of San Diego.
Lawanda Dixon, 24, was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon shortly after the altercation with 33-year-old Melik Jordan at the Dream Girls Cabaret early on Wednesday, San Diego police Det. Gary Hassen said.
“He was in the club with some friends watching the shows when she came up and asked if he wanted a lap dance,” Hassen said. “He said no, she got upset about it, they argued back and forth. She pulled knife out of her bag and stabbed him.”
Damn. Of all the places you could get stabbed, a strip club seems the least likely, doesn’t it? Well, at least by the dancers, anyway. You know his friends had no sympathy and were cracking jokes. Probably something to do with the question of who penetrated whom. Guys are funny that way. Luckily, it turns out the guy was OK. But he’ll probably never live that down.
I finally got around to getting some high definition programming for my unnecessarily large television. As Dax might say, Just Damn! I’m finding that I’ll watch stuff I probably wouldn’t if it wasn’t in hi def, just because the picture looks so damned good.
I’m a big fan of IMAX movies, and I can now watch many of them in hi def. I watched a show about dolphins earlier tonight, narrated by Pierce Brosnan. The color and clarity are just amazing.
However, I’m not quite sure I’ll stick with Time Warner cable, which I currently have. The reason it’s taken me so long to get hi def programming is that I’ve been a Dish Network customer for many years. And a happy one. However, I didn’t want to shell out $700 bucks for a new hi def receiver with a PVR built in. Especially when new customers could get the same thing for about $250 plus a few bucks a month. And Dish didn’t really have enough hi def channels to justify that expense anyway.
But now that they’re purchased Voom, there’s a whole slate of new hi def channels soon to come online over at Dish. However, those channels are broadcast with MPEG4 video, and all the current Dish receivers are only capable of MPEG3 decoding. However, the 962 receiver is rumored for release sometime next year. At that time, I’ll be considered a new customer again, and can get the cheap deal on a new receiver, and they should have at least thirty hi def channels then. I can’t wait for that.
I met one of my new neighbors the other day. I have noticed that he leaves his lights on pretty much all night long all over his house. After meeting him, that seems quite odd, considering he’s completely blind.
However, that might explain the garden gnome in his front yard…
