I watched Jackass the movie last night. I wasn't that surprised, except by some of the pranks. I have to say that “pranks” are more entertaining to me than “stunts”. I even enjoyed watching the random head shavings. Go figure.
Of course, for pranks I try to go right to the source: Trigger Happy TV. I love the US version as much as I did the filtered UK version, but for different reasons. I think that it has become more insane, and by insane I mean good insane, flashing lights insane. Yes.
I'm watching Trigger Happy right now, and it appears that they were filming right here in Minneapolis, approximately 19 floors and half a block from where I'm temping. I only wish that I could have been there to… uh… help.

Music
I like beatboxing. Please enjoy the rap stylings of Rahzel:
Rahzel - Make the Music 2000 - Carbon Copy (I Can't Stop)
I can't stop
I really don't care about those other carbon copies
Don't stop Papi- don't stop
Yo! I'm the microphone champion Any stage you get me on or let me on
My ambiance is one step beyond
Then my song is a correspond with the audience
Experience the Renaissance my resonance is really on
Wonder Twin Powers activate
Put the tape on. I can take on any shape, form size or weight, shape of
Activation Voltron
Imagine all the microphones in the world I spit it on
Imagine the next MC step to me gettin' [scratch] on
You can even ask the girl about the bed we did it on
I hit it from the back to Marvin Gaye's Let's Get it On
Don't get it wrong, give her a thong, she put it on, in uniform
Sippin' Dom Perignon, Shawn Don, filet mignon
Long horns stick and move till the cameras come on
Until the cameras are gone from there on, dusk till dawn
Get your grind on, now put your panties back on
Thank you for your cooperation
Rahzel, on your Hot 97 station
I really don't care about those other carbon copies
Don't stop Papi- don't stop
(Baby crying)
Oh what's wrong Rahzel?
You're trying to sing?
Don't worry baby, when you grow up you're gonna be a star!
Yo, I'm one of the illest vocalists to ever turn the mic on
Let me download my sound, catalog the microns
[Computer noises] Turn your website on
WWW dot transmission d-d-d-d-d-dot sitcom
Got your girl buck naked on the cover of Right On
3-d visually enhanced on your CD-ROM
EP-ROM, erasable, programmable and only
Memory accessible when you're pc's on
We can battle for your soul like Ki Yong Song
We can battle for your girl like Rae Dawn Chong
Yo you're mother's so fat she wears a three piece thong
Made of polyester-acrylic, rip stop nylon
With a skully cap that stretches three feet long
98 degrees outside, with a sheepskin on
I play you and your mom like Donkey Kong
Check this out: [Donkey Kong noises]
I really don't care about those other carbon copies
Don't stop Papi- don't stop
Yo we got the hotness, wildest fiber optic, Double O 7 James Bond, talkin' in your watch [scratch]
Watch this, Baywatch [scratch]
Topless, there's no way you could stop this, spotless
Keep the flame up in the cockpit
(?)
or some New Kids on the Block shit
My purse net is nothin' but profit
While you keep secrets and gossip
The Officer, the Gentleman
Chiseled out, President, call me Lou Gosset
This is for the players who pop [scratch]
Frontin like you got [scratch]
PhD., without the doctorate
If it wasn't for break beats, you'd be rhymin' over my [scratch]
Often transformin' on stage, the Super DJ
2000 beats per minute, with an arcade
Round 1 fight, Street Fighter 3, pro tools with the upgrade
Call the paramedics to FedEx some first aid
My calisthenics been magnetic since first grade
We can battle in the doorway or the hallway
We can take the shit to the street, off and on Broadway
We can battle where you buy your cheap ass clothes in front of Conway
We can battle in the passenger seat of your motherfuckin Hyundai
I really don't care about those other carbon copies
Don't stop Papi- don't stop

Everyone likes schoolgirls, and some people like dress up and paper dolls. If you are one of those people and are under the age of 18, don't visit Normal Bob Smith's website. I like humor, I like sacrilege and heresy, I like this site - but if you think that Marilyn Manson is not funny, you might not want to enter the world of Normal Bob.
Right now he has 114 pages of hate mail and 26 pages of fan mail. How will you weigh in? I leave that decision as an exercise for the reader.

This just makes me think of Motörhead. Lemmy is secretly Saddam, I think.
Well, I did have original material until I read this thread on fark. Now I got nothin'. Oh well. Print your own deck of cards.
Wait, I can contribute something to the excitement! How about a reference to a reference? Strong Bad refers to Lemmy at the end of this email…

Politics
The war is an exceedingly complex set of issues. If only someone were to make a simple guide, that would be very helpful.
If you've never visited mikhaela.net but you have similar political leanings to me (or simply enjoy good, quality entertainment), I suggest that you peruse Mikhaela's terrific comics and maybe her blog, too. She's been referenced by Tom Tomorrow- in fact this comic is at the top of his blog as I write this. It's hard to imagine much higher praise than that, unless you don't like Tom Tomorrow, in which case, why are you reading my blog?
Thank goodness that I have my good friend Matt to boil down the internet and give me just the good stuff.

Jason Mewes subject of documentary of his drug use
The documentary will show Mewes using heroin and going through withdrawl after he quits cold turkey. At least he's quitting. People who know me know that I love the whole View Askewniverse, from Clerks through Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, with stops on the way for Mallrats, Chasing Amy and Dogma.
Jason, I wish you the best on your road to getting clean and sober, or at least clean. Do it for the kids.

I meant to blog this before, but, you know how it goes, what with responsibilities and work and such. I mean, what with, uh… Never mind. Enjoy some weird recipes from Weight Watchers past.

I missed making an April Fool's Day blog by a few hours. Oh well.
In other news, more resumes are going out. I spent a couple of hours in another temp agency today, acing all the tests and hopefully kicking booty in the interview.
Someday we'll find it- the rainbow connection- but in the meantime, you can find me at the Minneapolis Convention Center this weekend. I'll be up on the mezzanine, not at the World of Wheels like I had previously suspected. Damnit, though, I was really hoping to see Mini-Me. Sonofa!
Kory got the new DirecTiVO installed today. Super sweet, except that there will be NO TIVO HACKING, even though the USB port on the back is begging for an ethernet adapter. I want TivoWeb, dang it. :P
P.S.: I need a new keyboard.
