rush are jackasses but they didn't use to be. so sad when people fall off and try to be brainny or when they show their true stupid colors as clearly as general tzo's chicken. his lyrics always sucked too but 2112 was dope. and before that they sucked. moving pics = killer and the next one. but roll the bones is total shit. everything just went down the hill faster and faster. the ramones though never sucked, ever!! they rule the wasteland of crap music from the domain of pure dopeness!!!?!® so that top dragon toy you posted akin has made it into our lives apparently. what a sad device, so wastefull; like dog fighting for kids. very sad again, just like rush. when i was a kid in philly we use to play a great game!! we would fill bottle caps with hot street tar(ooh yeah baby!) and smooth the tar accross the bottle cap top until it hardened. you end up with a smooth "flickable" tar filled cap. then with chalk we would draw a large box segmented into smaller boxes on the street with numbers in them. not in order though so it was harder. then you would try to flick the tarcap like a marble or something to get it into the next numbered square. you could also try to bounce the other players cap out of the board so they would have to start over. now that is a game!! healthy and resourceful just like skateboarding. which is incredibly healthy for kids.....and the rest of us! jamie oliver is fucking lame and i now truly hate him. he can take that pink set he has and shove it into his gf. harsh but when you cook for firemen and your "mates" just off of work i feel like slapping you with a glove and kicking you in the nuts oliver. i want tickets to a j.o. taping if poss or i at least want to egg his house. anyone down?? let's egg jamie oliver. in the immortal words of steve martin: comedy is not pretty. speaking of comedians, if he is one, i also wish a horrible life on jerry "whinner" seinfeld. he sucks badly with his central park east apt. i also want to egg it but it's up to high off the street so i may find his local grocer up by the movie theater on 6th ave and 60 whatever street and egg him too. your upper east side spolied whinner yell comedy sucks terribly jerry. egg. ayn rand is a cult who needs to be stopped!!!! i saw maryln manson on letterman a couple of years ago and he came across like a rambunctious 15year old. he is sad. i feel bad for his lost life. the minutemen however were the real deal. they are also members of the domain of pure dopeness. mr. johnny cash is the king of that domain. it is what it is. good night all and love to the most special girl in the world. you know who you are. i earth wuv you. ;)

From the zeropaid forum, re the Billboard Poll/RIAA "no downloading" *point gun down shoot bullet in foot* campaign headed by B.Spears/M.Elliot/Nelly: "Rush's drummer is an Objectivist. The Objectivist version of a free market involves recognizing Intellectual Property. Ayn Rand never noticed the inherent contradiction in trying to enforce both free speech and intellectual property simultaneously. So that's why Rush is on the list. What a bunch of idiots." "lets see here: Britney Spears - People are downloading your nude pics, not your songs you washed up whore Brian Wilson - sorry noone listens to the Bitch Boys anymore Eminem - no sane person would want to download your bull$h1t anyway Stevie Wonder - not even the oldies station plays your $h1t anymore Shakira - I bought your latest cd because I DOWNLOADED your spanish cds, and bought them too. Lets see if I buy your next one, bitch. Madonna - only 40 year old fags like your music. P.O.D. - too $h1tty for me to comment on Marilyn Manson - same as POD 3 Doors Down - damn another $h1tty band. Bare Naked Ladies - there goes all respect I had for BNL. Elton John - HAHAHA. Who downloads his $h1t? Gene Simmons: you used to be cool.. 30 years ago. Hootie and the Blowfish: I doubt even their moms listen to that $h1t anymore. Vanessa Carlton: way to go, Michelle Branch ripoff. People only bought your cd because it cost $5. Rush: jackasses. Wallflowers: how can such a cool guy raise such a moronic kid?"

Eerie winner: N.Y. lottery draws 911 on Sept. 11

Associated Press ALBANY, N.Y. -- Officials say it was just a coincidence, but many people found it chilling nonetheless: On the anniversary of Sept. 11, the winning numbers in the New York lottery were 9-1-1. Lottery officials said Thursday that 5,631 people had selected the tragic numbers. They won $500 each. "The numbers were picked in the standard random fashion using all the same protocols," said lottery spokeswoman Carolyn Hapeman. "It's just the way the numbers came up." The 9-1-1 combination was picked so often, it reached the lottery's set limit for combinations and sold out by Tuesday evening, Hapeman said. On any given day, seven to 10 sets of numbers are "closed out," she said. For the drawing, which is televised live, the lottery uses numbered balls circulating in a machine. When host Jolanda Vega pushes three levers, three balls pop up randomly. On Wednesday evening, there wasn't the slightest trace of a quaver in Vega's voice as she read out: "Nine ... one ... one." There is a 1-in-1,000 chance of the numbers 9-1-1 coming up in the lottery. "I'm a bit surprised, but I wouldn't characterize it as bizarre," said Christopher Rump, a probability expert at the University of Buffalo. "People tend to read into these things. I'm sure that whatever numbers come up tonight will have some special meaning to someone, somewhere." Lottery players said the eerie number sequence didn't make them think the draw was rigged. "It's not that unusual," said Bob Matusiak, who bought a ticket Thursday at a convenience store. A similar coincidence occurred Nov. 12 when the numbers 5-8-7 came up in the New Jersey lottery the day American Airlines Flight 587 crashed in New York City. Lottery ticket vendors said some people seemed reluctant to try their luck on the sequence even as they bet on it. "I think some people were disgusted with the idea of playing that number because it represents a black day in the history of America," Farzad Khosravi said. Hapeman said Wednesday was the first time in more than a year that the 9-1-1 combination had come up in the New York lottery.

The last words of the Music Monopoly

Britney Spears, Multi-Platinum Award Winning Artist "Ooops! I Did It Again": "Would you go into a CD store and steal a CD? It�s the same thing, people going into the computers and logging on and stealing our music. It�s the exact same thing, so why do it?" Eminem, Grammy Award Winning Rapper: "I'm sorry; when I worked 9 to 5, I expected to get a paycheck every week. It's the same with music; if I'm putting my heart and all my time into music, I expect to get rewarded for that. I work hard and anybody can just throw a computer up and download my music for free. It could kill the whole purpose of making music. It's not just about the money�It's the thrill of going to the store; you can't wait till that artist's release date, taking the wrapper off the CD and putting the CD in to see what it sounds like. I've seen those little sissies on TV, talking about how 'The working people should just get music for free,' I've been a working person. I never could afford a computer, but I always bought and supported the artists that I liked. I always bought a Tupac CD, a Biggie CD, a Jay-Z CD. If you can afford a computer, you can afford to pay $16 for my CD." Wall of Sound � May 17, 2000 http://www.musicunited.org

TOTC !=SCAM!

I have been personally informed by the creator of that site that the files for the TOTC WERE deleted by the ISP, and that they have been restored AGAINST the wishes of the police! Taken from the "come get me" page on the site: Host Europe, acting for the Obscene Publications Unit, agreed to reconnect my web server on the strict condition that I did not to attempt to put thinkofthechildren.co.uk back up in its original form (which is exactly what I have done). I have been warned by both the Met. and Host Europe that if I reactivate thinkofthechildren.co.uk it will be closed down immediately. Again. I have taken the decision to ignore this threat and to reactivate the site in order to force the police to obtain a formal warrant for its closure. I am hoping that Host Europe value their reputation amongst the Internet community enough to avoid taking the site down (again) until such a warrant is obtained. If the site should suddenly vanish from the Internet, I would be delighted if anyone wants to set up a mirror. The more the merrier. Please download the current .zip archive of the site here, unpack the archive and read the readme.txt file. NTK backpedals furiously: Posted on http://www.ntk.net [...] [ UPDATE: NTK would like to clarify that we do not believe - as may have been implied by other sites - that the takedown of www.thinkofthechildren.co.uk was faked or some sort of PR "stunt". We have no reason to disbelieve their own account of it: http://www.thinkofthechildren.co.uk/metfax.shtml , given some ISPs' enthusiasm for pulling pages nowadays. Plus, we've been asked to point out that the site is "entirely unconnected" with email newsletter THE FRIDAY THING, and is a personal project of one of its editors, hence the similar mailing list and web hosting setups. We still think that individuals hoping to enlist public sympathy in cases like these should be more forthcoming in disclosing potentially relevant info - but hey, memo to self: check AUP before posting from work account. http://www.thinkofthechildren.co.uk/ - back again now. And good luck to 'em! ] [...] Time to get some new batteries for the scamometer MB... $paul_car_bottle ++

SCAM SCAM SCAM!

"Did anyone else notice that the little pop-up mailing list window connects to a site called the friday thing, whose copyright notice goes to AllTheThings whose "...team includes writers from Channel 4, The Guardian, The Observer, The Evening Standard, Cosmopolitan and many more"? Looks more like someone trying to drum up they're own publicity." Says a Metafilterer From NTK: >> HARD NEWS << wandering clues To be honest, we could probably have guessed who was behind spoof "concerned parents" site THINKOFTHECHILDREN.CO.UK, shut down this week for allegedly "inciting mob violence". It's a familar M.O.: the heavy-handed satirical sideswipes, the cultivated sense of moral outrage, the studious collecting of email addresses. (No, not us, you idiots. Well, not this time.) Oh, and the fact that he mailed us saying he doesn't want people to think he just set it up as PR for another site that he does. Well, as readers of METAFILTER pointed out, if you don't want people to jump to that conclusion, it might be best to avoid putting a link to it in the source to your popup window. And maybe try using different nameservers in the whois record too? if this is a traffic hose scam, its misfired; the site is back up, restored by the person who created the site. This means that his/her ISP didnt n00k the account, and that it was deleted voluntarily which is different from being "taken down" by the authorities. In the UK, there is a term, named "bottle", which can be freely substituted for the word courage. If you are going to do a site loaded with Nitro Glycerine like thinkofthechildren, then you need to have lots of bottle to carry it through to the end. Chris Morris is an example of a dude with LOTS of bottle. Nothing to see here, move along!

Death Rattle

EasyInternetCafe - the high street Internet caf� chain - is to protest outside the High Court in London tomorrow against the threat of a gagging order from the music industry. The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) is to apply for an injunction against both easyInternetCafe and the easyGroup from publicly discussing the ongoing battle between the two parties. The row centres on a demand from the music industry for �100,000 in lost revenues after it claimed easyInternet Cafe allowed people to burn music onto CDs. When the BPI first launched its complaint it had demanded an eye-watering �1m. Originally the BPI warned easyInternet Cafe that it would get "bad PR" (shurely 'far more customers?' - Ed) if it became public knowledge that easyInternetCafe customers had been downloading music files protected by copyright onto CDs in its stores. But easyInternet Cafe claims it's got nothing to hide, and even opened its doors for the BPI to check its computer records. It also maintains it stopped allowing people to burn CDs a year ago. Said the company in a statement: "Now the BPI have done an about-turn and are attempting to gag easyInternetCafe from discussing anything further, presumably because they are embarrassed that it has become public knowledge they have tried to extort as much as �1 million from easyInternetCafe" So, tomorrow easyGroup boss, Stelios, and a bunch of loyal workers will dress up in orange boiler suits and take part in a public protest outside the High Court. They will carry banners that will defend their right to free speech by declaring: "We will not be gagged". They will also run with placards calling for the "music industry cartel" to stop "milking the consumer with their over-priced products". Oh, and they'll also call for the legalisation of music downloads. Sounds like it could be a real hoot. � http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/27286.html
