I give unto thee a Funny parody of those Zoloft commercials with that little dumpy, depressed black and white ovoid creature…

Thanks be to Charlie for that one…

check it on the right over there… VisionGS is my new favorite webcam software!

if anyone is still having problems with their e-mail, websites, etc, feel free to give me a call (you should have my number), IM me at “benATthelocust”, or shoot me an email.

Oh, and if anyone (either yourself or a friend) needs reliable web-hosting for cheap, let me know! This new rack has plenty of space and bandwidth, and you know the admin, what more could you want?

…okay, so things are back up and running! galleries, etc… i think the bored may still be choking on some mis-configuration here, but most importantly the galleries and news are back up. it would seem the photos of andy were quite popular.

Well, as many of you know, I’m leaving my job here at Corvus at the end of the week. That also means that the server on which thelocust[dot]org rests is also leaving Corvus! But never fear, I have entrusted in RackShack.net to provide me a dedicated rack server and have already started moving over content! Anywho, more later…

from the Metafilter:

Oh, emails sent in rage. If I had a nickel every time I sent an email I regretted later on… possibly even minutes later, I could at least buy myself a soda. However, none of my emails stack up to the “Kelly Tripplehorn ‘You Suck’” email. Tripplehorn, a now ex-intern for U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (and a defensive tackle for the Amherst College football team) sent a ridiculously vicious email to a girlfriend that included such rousing verse as:

“Michele I am sorry, I don’t care how big of sadistic [f-bomb]ed up crush you have on me but people like me simple don’t date people like you.”

“But guess what Michele, you will never move up the ladder because I am at the top and people like me hate people like you.”

whew… just wait, there’s more!

“In the end, all I can say is that people love me and people hate you. You should observe me and take a few notes on how to make real friends.”

Oh man. Wow. That is just fan-tastic. And those quotes aren’t even out-of-context! The context is this: he’s a jackass!

This is almost better than that Peter Chung Asian hooker email, or perhaps even the Miss Kim’s Date has a small boat email, or the Doing Jack [S-bomb] for $2400 a week email or the…. geez. What is it with well to-do young folk and their lack of email scruples?

Oh, back to our boy “Tripplehorny” — check out a photo of him in The Washington Times (with complimentary article)! Nice Polo, jackass!

Readers, i give unto you Bullet-Time Ping-Pong on an Asian Gong-Show Like Show. it will not disappoint.

This may be the best hamster name ever.

Got an email from Interpol this morning (the band from New York, not the international crime agency). You may remember them from a number of posts involving them earlier in the year. In any case, they are touring yet again — a smaller fall tour, to which they’ll be pre-selling the Montreal, Toronto, Detroit and Chicago dates. Oh, and they redesigned their site. I liked the theme so much, I ripped it off. Note well that you can change your theme under “setup” on the lower right over there —–>

That is all. Enjoy your theme.
