Today is Homecoming at Akron Central School. In the past few years it's become tradition to toilet-paper Bloomingdale Avenue the night before the game. I took a few pictures of the aftermath this morning.

Digital Archive Project :: MST3K
Master List
Mystery Science Theater 3000 has been my favorite show since I was 10. Only recently, however, did I find out there's been an organized effort to record all 11+ years of episodes. Awesome. So does anyone out there have access to a DVD burner. I have some 700 mb .avi files to convert and my hard drive is full. I'll, like, pay for everything.
I haven't posted anything in a while because I'm working overnights at a new job (it's 9:30 AM and almost time for bed) and trying to finish my Masters project. Should Masters have an apostrophe, or capitalization? It appears both ways in a lot of places. I also have some blogs on my favorite places list that I'd like to purge right here:
Google Blog Search (cool)
Post Secret (creative)
Manchester Marks (ditto)
Online Tickle Articles (disturbing)
Big Ed (keep posting!)
The Chaff (HI-larious)
Old Grandma Hardcore (?)
Here are some other dumb links:
Andy46477
RPS-15
J. E. Swearingen (goes with The Chaff)
FindAGrave.com
WBNY All-Talk Mondays(including distant relative Leonard Roberto on Primary Challenge)
ChillingEffects.org
Newstead Historical Society (sadly on Geocities)
Venezuelanalysis.com is a must-read site.
X-Mail Hard Drive
And just because it seems quaint in hindsight. . . .
There, I feel clean. Time for bed.

Somebody on FARK noted that "Black people loot. White people find." Read these AP captions from New Orleans photos and see what he means.

New look for The Onion
America's Finest News Source
This is a test of Video Blogging, short for "Video Web Logging", or "Vlogging" for forward-thinking dorks. The first clip comes from Ed's trip to Germany, showing why futbol fans need police escorts. And speaking of sport, there's also a clip from the Erie County Fair. A crowd gets a pig to swim the same way I was taught. These might take a while to load up.

Operation Clambake
Xenu.net
Last night we met at Joe's house to watch the Bills/Bears preseason game. Here you see the Bears prepping for the game by catching fish.
Dave turns wearing T-shirts into an artform.
We played poker for money with minors.
...and we lost. Joe left the table early.
If you think preseason football is awesome, try watching it while you read! It'll blow your mind.
See?

Metro Arts and Architecture
Buffalo not on list
Joe, Dave, I and a few thousand people saw the Sam Roberts Band at a free show in downtown Buffalo. Matt Mays & El Torpedo, above, opened. Note the woman in the sunglasses. She made her way to the front and will NEVER look at the band.
City Hall. Okay, she's looking at the band now, but not when they're playing.
Radio hack! LOLZ! HaXorZ are teh 1337.
Joe thinks I want to take picture, but I was really trying for Yassir Arafat. What's that woman in the sunglasses looking at?
Dave's Bald Spot. The woman has taken off her sunglasses, and is repulsed.
Sam Roberts. Three o'clock, lady.
Yassir sneezed on a lot of girls during the show, eventually finding his way to the back.
Dave says he'll never work here. He should.
Then Dave and Joe asked each other, "What's the gayest thing we could possibly do with the rest of the night?" "I know, let's get fondu and feed each other strawberries." Soon after, the closeness of Dave's nose to the pepper shaker will ruin a perfectly good pot of melted chocolate.
Delectable.
Sam Roberts believes in Rock & Roll.

An Analysis of Rock Music by L. Ron Hubbard
Ron, The Music Maker
Mick Jagger walked into my brother's work the other night and that's darn interesting. He told me over the phone while I was walking the dog. Ten minutes after hanging up, the dog saw a skunk for the first time and decided to chase after it. The dog's still paying for it and so is everyone else.

Anal Douche
Add to Shopping Cart
Dave and I went to the Erie County Fair on Friday. What I thought would be a normal day with the animals ended up being a unique chance to see a master photojournalist at work.
The master photojournalist arrives
Press Passed Pants. Say it 5 times fast.
There were tornado warnings all day, and it rained heartily
The Buffalo Bills exhibit at the Historical Building
Poor apostrophe usage
The pig races
Retired racing pig
I went looking for big cocks
So some jackass started screaming Animal Cruelty at the elephant handler. Normally you can respect a person's opinions about animal cruelty, but when that person pays $14 for admission and parking to people organizing an event where thousands of livestock are graded, sold and slaughtered, and then that someone only complains that the one animal they keep alive is being treated unfairly, well, that person is retarded.
Dave is paid to take pictures of little kids, so it's not wrong.
More Animal Cruelty
Cruelty to my ears
Cruelty to Chinese people. This lady is spinning two cloths and a hula hoop while balancing 40 wine glasses on her chin while standing on a ball as she walks across a see-saw.
Cruelty to sunlight.

Ha! Ha!
The actual thread takes forever to load
For those who are alums of Canisius College, today I checked out the new Eastwood Residence Hall, where the parking lot between Bosch and Loyola used to be. This is the view looking from the lobby to the quad.
I couldn't get to the actual rooms because of electronic locks. Back in the day I would move into my dorm days early and no one would be the wiser but NO, September 11th or something.
Eastwood from the quad.
Eastwood next to old, decrapitated Bosch.
Anyway, I had to check out the building when I heard they built a new tunnel. This connects Eastwood to Bosch, but there's another one connecting Eastwood to the Student Center across the quad.
At 9 o'clock is the Bosch laundry room. At 5 o'clock is the Public Safety desk. At 2 o'clock is the new tunnel between Bosch and Eastwood.
The basement tunnel meets the first floor lobby of Eastwood
I'm not too sure how good an idea this tunnel was. It goes behind the chapel, parallel to the Palisano Pavilion about 30-40 feet away. I was hoping the tunnel would be built under the very center of the quad, going in front of the chapel. So far this seems redundant.
The tunnel comes out at the very end of the lockers underneath the Student Center, behind the Griffin Newspaper office. I was hoping that the Student Center, Chapel, Eastwood and Loyola would be connected underground, but so far it's just to keep Eastwood residents from going through Bosch and Frisch on the way to dinner. A dinner that probably still gives you the runs, by the way. Maybe that's why students need a faster tunnel back to the dorms.
Remember when 50 trial hours was a big deal?
