I have to say that so far at least, Heaven has been filled with surprises — from the frequency of leather bondage and gimp sex to the rather crazy high taxes being tacked on to cigarettes and soft drinks here.
On the plus side, though, the graffiti is far more interesting than I would have imagined had I taken my cues about this place solely from the pastors at my church. For instance, the vegetarian pizza place I’ve been hanging out at has scrawled across the alley-side facade in bold green paint, “First they told me absence makes the heart grow fonder, then they got all pissy when I killed the bitch!”
For some reason, that rings kinda true — which, I guess that’s what Heaven is all about, if you think about it. I just didn’t expect it would be so, like, in your face about shit, y’know…?
This is starting to remind me of the last of Iowahawk’s Zarkman series.
Carry on.
So Heaven resembles West Hollywood?
For Corey, I guess it would.
When I get to Heaven, I’m gonna spend about a million years diving in and out of balck holes.
I love this series. It’s both funny and thought-inspiring. I’m still not sure this is heaven, and I’m pretty sure I’m not supposed to be sure. It appears to be Corey’s heaven, though.
On the other hand, we have that twilight zone episode about the criminal who died and went to heaven where Sebastion Cabot was an angel. That is informing my thoughts on this series as well.
Why do I have the feeling that the soundtrack to heaven is all Warrant, all the time.
“Somehow, I figured it would be a lot classier…”
Old school pw doesn’t sell. But no matter. I’m going to force it back into cultural circulation. Like Jordache or Puma.
With a side of Air Supply
What I really miss are the Kaepas with the little removable triangles.
Apparently Corey is finding that heaven is the distilled reality of his life.
Apparently Corey is finding that heaven is the distilled reality of his life.
And if that’s not good enough inducement to straighten up and fly right, I don’t know what is.
This doesn’t sell? You’re kidding! I love this stuff!
Though I bet God doesn’t place Google ads. And, no offense, I’m not clicking any ads that come up for gimp sex and lesbian bondage. I’m just not. Ever.
Wasn’t he in that off-Tenderloin play about the drummer who lost his drumsticks – “Absence of Mallets”?
I donnna’ tink thees Cory ees were he teenks he yis.
“This doesn’t sell?”
I think by old school he meant hosting honest discussions on complex issues with willing interlocutors Ella.
NO NO JEFF!! Quisp or Quake
Sd? Honestand interlocuters are oxymorons with the left….and most of the Right.
Jeff seemed to have found them in numbers once upon a time, so I don’t know? Maybe he was just lucky? Nah, things were different somehow.
Hmmm…not oxymorons. I need a word here…But I don’t know how to turn Hypocracy into saying shit you don’t mean, but meaning it.
Actually I was talking about this. The other doesn’t sell because, as I noted elsewhere, people realized it’s less time consuming arguing with strawmen and cartoon characters. But that’s a separate issue.
This? Just too odd.
So this is the old school. I stand corrected then. Sorry Ella.
I can’t fucking wait for Martha Stewart to get to heaven. It’s gonna be great.
Vat is vis all de challenigink tinking? Do joo vant indepandant tinkerz? Ezz a bad idea, I tinks.
I like surreal, even when it is wrapped up a nice palatable blanket of normalcy. Well, gimp sex isn’t all that normal, but whatever. Eet ezz how I be rollink. /Balky
My hard drive is acting like it might go. That’s to be expected, I guess, because I’ve started posting again. And I have a rain cloud that follows me around.
I must have slaughtered orphans by the busload in my last life.
#1 AtN:
It isn’t the same- Corey has a better internet connection, and a bunch of dudes in black don’t have Corey hooting when he farts.
What puts Bruce Willis, on the stairs, with a katana? Come for the gimp sex, stay for the pliers.
Is this to be a new book #13 of “Heroes in Hell“, Hollywood in Hell? If so I want a copy.
Old school PW does sell, just to a different audience now Jeff.
In the olden days? you were all Gods amongst men. Nowadays? the Gods ARE men, and the real men are akin to Gods.
What I mean by that? I have no idea i think. I hope you know what I mean never minding the whole Intentionalism thing IYKWIMAITYD
I knew there was some reason I like you.
GeoffB? you just ruined my brain, not that it was good for much anyway but STAT!!! BRAIN BLEACH!!
Jeff? Rain cloud? Nah, not so much. You’re a ray of light in an otherwise ozone covered planet with a mean temperature of 212 celcius.
Hard drives are simple. ANTBODY here can help, just ask ok?
F the T
#25 Jeff G.:
Just got this five year old laptop back from the shop. It wouldn’t boot – now it does. I’ll see how long this goes.*
*Yes, I could buy a new one, but this does what I want it to and had never given any problems before. And me likey this one.
Ella,
Jeff actually wrote ‘leather’.
Posted with no other comment, except maybe “NTTAWWT” )
For some reason, everything I see on this site today reminds me of the Venture Brothers. Dead orphans evokes particularly strong images of cowboys riding dinosaurs with flamethrowers.
Off topic, but does anyone know where I could score a dozen 80 pin ata connectors for Dell 270-280’s?
Blitz,
Mean temperature of 212c? What is that an allusion to, if you don’t mind me asking?
Means I’m in computer HELL Bob. i have NO idea what I’m doing, and am supposed to do it anyway.
A regular reader here sent me the drives, but…none of the comps are set up for their connections. 212 meant nothing other than HOTTER THAN HELL….did I pick a wrong number?

Old school internet – it was the wild west, but wherever there was a villian, there was a Lone Ranger.
Ivanhoe was a hero. Ivanhoe was a knight. Ivanhoe was a cowboy. The Lone Ranger is Ivanhoe. Myths are important, myths tell us who we are and who we should be.
You know, I don’t understand why “old School” PW doesn’t sell. My younger daughter is still reading back, I have friends that have made PW their home page (for the post-modernism and philosophy).
Hell, I STILL go back and laugh at the old interviews!! You just make sure the ‘dillo never dances, ok?
I only come here to learn…and laugh my ass off.
Incidentally, I’m thinking about getting a protein wisdom-inspired tattoo. First, armadillo in hat and chaps, with the word Outlaw under. Soon, the red pills clan.
May as well live the dream, boys.
Beets first Jeff, with the peacoated dolpins jumping over them. The Dillo will need to be a massive work on your back (like a monkey)and you don’t need that for your first time.
I’m ANTI tatoo, piercing and wearing our pants on your knees.
Our,YOUR….you figure it out.
Computer hell, Blitz? Maybe you should press the “reset” button…
212c is pretty hot, around 413 degrees F! My guess? Hell is a lot hotter. But, judging from your past comments about doing good works for the local Salvation Army, you may be in computer purgatory.
Or is that only a Catholic thing?
It’ll all work out brother.
we want tea cups with said design
Just not the kind of chaps like they wear in the Zombietime picture of the Fulton street festivals Jeff.
I’m thinking a sea monkey king humping a blender on the forearm.
Actually Bob, Hell is Cold. Colder than hell. And that’s about as theological as I care to get, being that I’ve been to Church like 6 times in my life, but have studied Theologies.
RESET??? RESET??? How about putting a .45 ACP in my mouth and pulling the RESET button???
I told them. I’m SOFTWARE….Now? I’m G-D as far as comps go….Stranger in a Strange land.
YES Jeff!! But put the beets in the blender for color.
You should get that “Guests Mingle at a Robert Byrd Cocktail Party” graphic inked. In fact, you could just decide that you already have it.
Yeah, it’ll all work out. All I need now is 80 pin ATA ribbon cables(10) and jumpers that hell, I can make for the CD drives.
Took me 3 months to get the drives. This project was supposed to be done TOMORROW….see my frustration?
I remember that one, Pablo. Goes away ever summer, somehow.
Jeff, hard drives are dirt cheap anymore. I’ll contribute to the cause. BTW, old school stuff never dies. I was reading some of the “Overheard in a Fallujah bunker” and nearly pissed myself. You got chops. Ya got chops.
No Pablo, he needs the Peacated dolphins on one forearm, the beets on the other. That way? his Catch wrestling opponent will be thinking “HUH?” JUST before Jeff pins the SOB
OI? That is exaxctly what my daughter is still reading, but she LOVED the Kennedy interview to the point she used it as a link in a High school finals thingy.
Blitz,
I’d stay away from the “M1911 in the mouth” reset button thing; it’s more like the “off” button.
Besides, you might get more satisfaction out of shooting one of the uncooperative computers…
Just tell the Salvation Army folks that you had to, ahem, adjust it.
Jeff,
You could get a Tennessee flag and cement your RAAAAAAACIST! bona fides.
Or maybe the old stand by; love and hate across the knuckles of your left and right hands!
Bob, I believe you’re thinking of the old Georgia or South Carolina flags. Tennessee’s is pretty tame.
Jeff, hard drive donation sent. Old school pw may not sell, but it keeps me coming back (along with the new school stuff).
Wes,
I was just playing off that idiot Charles Johnson’s pot about the flags he saw in photos of a tea party rally
http://www.weaselzippers.net/blog/2010/03/charles-johnson-fairly-sure-the-tennesee-state-flag-is-neonazi-logo.html
He thought it was some kind of neo-nazi symbol or something. But, you know, he’s in California…
no offense happyfeet.
The Tennessee flag is butt-ugly IMHO. Arizona’s, now, the best in the Union. Anyone know the story behind Maryland’s bizarre cacophony of a flag? Jeff?
Something to do with a black eyed susan. Or pea.
I stand corrected Bob. Apparently my entire state is a 200+ year old neo-nazi experiment. The things I miss by steering clear of CJ.
no offense taken Mr. Reed… this time next year California’s gonna be interesting I’d guess maybe…
OT, but we rented and watched Blind Side, out now on DVD. Highly recommend. I’ll have to maybe buy a copy of this one.
JeffG,
The tattoo, for me, maybe not. The t-shirt, most definitely.
Just make sure the blender consents.
Well, I had no notion of shaping the thing like a laundry basket, B Moe. That should save me, no?
Charles Johnson must’ve envisioned this flag.
blenders are whores
Cops love tattoos. They make it so easy to identify the body.
Soon, the red pills clan
I remember my mother referring to me and my sister as “real pills” … which came as close to swearing as a young SAHM in the 50’s would allow herself in public
now in private ….
serr8d,
I don’t know if you’re being facetious or not, but what Charles thinks he sees is the flag of the Africaner Resistance Movement.
Not even close, really, but I guess if one is conditioned to see Nazis everywhere, one always will.
Bob
I’m in Cali, too, but CJ lives in Palos Verdes… I think he’s taken a few too many tumbles off his bike in the hills.
I long for the day when Charles gives us some wistful still lifes of Nazis on the beach. Next to a rusted out tin can or some driftwood.
Isn’t Charles engaged? Ten quatloos says she’s “progressive”.
Nazi on roof.
How come there is never any mention of the tampon Corey Haim has stuffed up his ass to stop the bleeding… and he is out of quarters for the vending machine in the Skeez Palace bathroom (why are they only in the men’s room ?)
Springtime for Hitler and Ger-ma-ny…
Nazis, and RAAAAACISTs as well, Spiny Norman. That flag I found in Mt. Olivet [Confederate] Cemetery, well-tended by obvious RAAAAACISTs.
“Hmmm…not oxymorons. I need a word here…But I don’t know how to turn Hypocracy into saying shit you don’t mean, but meaning it.”
Freudian?
#24 Mikey
You’re right, of course. But I detect a similarity of theme.
My wife was SHOCKED that I love The English Beat.
This came about because I was watching a video of General Public “Tenderness” which I love also and she can’t fathom. She now thinks I’m gay. I’ll show her.
How odd that in this talk of flags no one remembers that Mississippi’s remains unchanged.
Maybe its my Yankee blood, but Confederate flags offend me on a visceral level. The near-Balkanization of the United States is not a thing to be celebrated. But YMMV…
You got more “visceral” things to worry about than a flag there Andrew.
Heritage! Not hate!
FWIW, My great great grandfather fought for the Union, and he lost his oldest brother to Rebel fire at Stones River. To me, a war that’s almost 150 years in the past is almost certainly over and done with — the subsequent meaning of historical symbols (and people’s emotional reactions to same, in either direction) notwithstanding.
Being unable to let the past be the past is why India and Pakistan stage annual nuclear-war scares, and why half of Northern Ireland is still rubble.
The near-Balkanization of the United States is not a thing to be celebrated. But YMMV…
On behalf of everywhere that’s not California or the District of Columbia, I’d like to express my support for a little balkanization.
My one fervent hope is that the Republic of Texas and the Republic of Alberta one day decide to merge, and annex us poor blighters in the upper Midwest.
#59 serr8d:
The Maryland flag is the coat of arms of Lord Baltimore, who founded the colony.
The flag of Washington, D.C., is from the coat of arms of George Washington’s family.

We got plenty of those photos. Most are in black-and-white.
And the Nazis were pretty still when they were photographed. (Gold, Juno, Sword, Omaha, Utah.)
