Digging (doing stuff) through my (Benford’s) closet I found a few true gems. This included the entirety of my pogs collection, including a canister full of slammers. 8-Ball slammers were cool, as were shiruken slammers, but by far the coolest are the 8-ball shiruken slammers. If manufactured today, my collection would be a scrap metal heavan for all the scrap copper/iron/any metal theives who routinely destroy statues and priceless fireplaces to sell the metal for pennies on the dollar. I sincerley hope that the ninties will never suffer the fate of a retro-craze because our civilization would probably not surive a second coming of Hammertime. Also, if I hear the phrase “it’s the ninties” anytime before 2090, many other places will be safer than the one I am currently in.
I could begin this post with an epic recap, but is pressing pgdown once or twice really that difficult?
At any rate, continuing the Shenanigans (Shannon-ignans?) :
While at Powell’s bookstore someone actually recognized my costume (The Shadowman, of Red Hat Linux fame) of which I was impressed. Living in somewhat of an Open Source Holy Land pays off from time to time. (Pics after the break)
So, I’m blogging again, and you know what that means: the massive update phase is over. Thanks to Matt (webmaster of bluhelix.com and the guy who hosts this blog). Now, “Benford does stuff” now has cleaner, searchfriendlier URLs. Woot.
And I’ve got to get back to cleaning up massive piles of stuff at home Caio!
The blog will be up and down a bit. I’m trying to get some redirect rules working and that may be a trying time. For all of my avid fans out there, I apoligize. But the cleaner URLs will be most worthwhile.
Halloween quickly became a chaotic event that can only be described as Bu Henderson’s Grand Day out. For the uninitiated, Bu (allegedly stands for ‘butt-ugly’) Henderson is a fish, but not of the ordinary kind. He is of a rare species of cotton-filled salmon/trout/some endangered, yet delicious. Furthermore, the rare cotton-mutation has taken away his ability to swim (he absorbs more water than he swims) but has vastly reduced his deliciousness; this has equally drastically increased his odds of surviving to the next generation.
I guess this is really just tough luck for the Patagonian Toothfish.
