Not only was I turned down in my application for the customer support position at Blizzard, but I have been denied a Cataclysm beta key.  Why, why, is God tormenting me so?

If any of you neener neener me with the fact that you got a beta key and I didn't I will have to funnel your name and addresses to al-Qaeda as apostates.

I have never really understood the SCA types. I knew a bunch when I was a teenager (actually a lot of them are still active in it) and I kind of hung on the fringes because I liked the armor and stuff but I never understood getting so completely immersed in something like this that it totally affects your everyday life.

Via Say Uncle, a Libertarian Purity Test


I scored 49, I would assume because I don't want to privatize the police, the courts and the military and I'm against leaving the world to blow itself up.

I've been avoiding the intertubes a lot lately, work is a little crazy right now. Hopefully in a week or two you can expect more inanity and sophmoroic posts.

Oh, and hopefully I'll post more too.

In the wake of the Dave Weigel debacle Ezra Klein has decided to kill the JournoList listserv, but we all know it will be back.  maybe we should setup a competing list serv.  I know we aren't journalists or heavy duty right wing pundits but there are at least according to people on Ace of Spades quite a few of those people who visit his site and we get some crossover.  I would do this a little different than Klein however.  First off everyone would be anonymous so that the type of exposure Klein faced couldn't happen to our members.  Second I would scrub the topics so that the type of thing Klein wrote didn't survive.  I am interested in making a point not running people down.

I say I and we but I am only using that as an example of how I would do things, someone with more credibility than myself would need to set things up.  I have no contacts and I have no credibility outside my own deranged fantasies so I am in no position to do anything.

Another thing I would like to set up is a conservative only chat system.

A video showing that soccer is, indeed, a unifying sport. It's worth watching all the way to the end, the group spirit displayed is inspirational.

The rumor I heard on the radio was that they hit a highly pressurized abiotic oil pocket several thousand feet under the ocean floor and that "no human technology" can close it up.

Well, other than a side-shaft nuclear explosion that, according to this source, if mishandled, would permanently crack the pocket causing an indefinite problem.

I wonder if there is any way to prove/disprove if this oil is abiotic.

Update:  A couple more things.  First, I've always been rather open to abiotic oil theory because it just seems unlikely to me that so much plant/animal matter made it several miles under the earth practically EVERYWHERE. 

Second, now that I'm looking around the webs, there are quite a few (not necessarily reputable) people talking about this and claiming that, if it IS abiotic, it could last FOREVER!!!!11

If you haven't read it, I recommend you run out and get Day By Day Armageddon right away.  Not only has J.L. Bourne crafted a visciously addictive first-person account of the zombie apocalypse but is an active-duty U.S. military officer.

Fantastic.
