The end is nigh! Repent now and be saved!

Peace to our good friend OD. He hasn’t written yet today from Australia, where the date changeover has already occured. So, we can probably conclude one of two things. Either a) Y2K is the end of the world or (more likely) b) he’s got a bad hangover. Either way, tonight, we drink!

The end is nigh! Repent now and be saved! Join the Slanty and repent!

The next year looks to be an exciting one on SlantyNet. I’m hoping to continue our current regular feature (the weekly elephant post) and build a few more (maybe a ‘Word Watch’ type post, a weekly ‘cutesy Japanese anime character’ post).
One feature I’d like to implement for the next few weeks has been suggested by Bard: Where’s Wolf? There has been quite a bit of speculation that Wolf has never in fact left the country, that his trip to SouthEast Asia is just so much hooey. In fact, the only proof we’ve received so far of him having left the country is this photo, and there are some doubts about its authenticity. So, until we either a) Wolf admits he’s in Vancouver or b) Wolf comments on a Slanty.Net post from an IP I can identify as not from Canada, we’re welcoming Wolf sightings from all our readers.

As it is a new year, it’s time to make some resolutions about what you will and will not do in the coming year.

Let me begin: I resolve not to eat until it hurts. (My annual resolution). I also resolve not to drink until it hurts. (I’m sure this one isn’t going to even make it past midnight).

The end is nigh! Repent now and be saved! Join the Slanty and repent! Drink lots to join the Slanty! Drink enough that you wish the end was nigh!

Happy New Year, all!

Blobjects: Products where ergonomics has triumphed over ethetics. Blobjects, says novelist Tom Wolfe, are “roundish, childing, blob-like objects that now come in every form from the iMac computer to the Mazda Miata, the Ford Taurus and the new VW Beetle. These items are not meant to be exuberant, much less elegant. The key adjective is ‘childish’.”

My thoughts – why are these objects so popular? Probably because they represent so many of us in North America today, getting rounder and rounder.

I, for one, can’t believe Money Mart exists. It never ceases to astonish me that there are people out there are so credit/cash poor that they don’t have cash on-hand and can’t wait until the bank opens. Really – if you’re so financially troubled, should you really be rushing out to spend your money? As far as I’m concerned, these guys are preying on those who are most financially vulnerable. They are already the lowest of the low. Working within the free market system to satisfy a ‘consumer demand’ for a product that just shouldn’t exist.

Whores.

What’s even worse, is that the free market system has produced a competitor. Noticed right across the street, there was The Yellow Cash Stop. Stop the madness.

I’ve been sniffing the newsprint again and dug these two out:

Psychiatrist John Breitner has been ordered to pay $42,800 US in damages to a Duke university professor for having sex with the prof’s wife. Judge Manning said: “In North Carolina, one does not engage in sexual intercourse with another person’ spouse knowing that he or she is married.” (The emphasis is mine. – 24601)

From the back pages of old comic books to the Web, Sea Monkeys live on in watch form. -

There have plenty of shows on lately where contestants have agreed to be on-camera for 24 hours. The Japanese guy who lived off what he could win in contests. People locked in apartments, the Net their only lifeline. People living in a house, voting one person out every few days. So, how to make it more gut wrenching and visceral? (Read ‘low-brow’).

Chalk a win up for anybody who was a Scout. Or, probably better yet, a Marine.

We stole it from: CBS

I thought I would NEVER, ever say this, BUT, I found something even more twisted than 2D moving in with 1K (no, no that’s NOT nK). In 3K’s words, it was supposed to be “Matrix 2″ (hey, it worked on 2D…). Instead it was the latest Neil Jordan weird flick: An End to An Affair. What a twisted tale….

NB: No K’s were harmed or hurt in the posting of this post. In counting K’s, please do not include the original K, a.k.a. Grumpy.

It seems like in the NHL if your a total dick head things really seem to go you way. After sitting out and forcing Vancouver to trade him it now apears that Pavel Bure is dating tennis hottie Anna Kournikova. Check out more here
