11232241.1Danged if he didn't do it again.    See my Tue, Feb 5, 2008. I'm not going to beat up on him, The Curious Capitalist. After all, he's stuck with being one of about 11 million Jasons around the same age. His name is Justin. Huh? Justin Fox. Oh .. well, same difference. Anyway, he's gotten his mill-bill-trill confused again, and again in TIME magazine. Bad enough when I do it, or similar, in my little blog Which No One Ever Reads, Ever. He does do witty financial reportage though, with some of the headlines going all-onionesque when needed, which in Moneyworld is often. Rick Macherat





11232240.1Ladies with something something.    Way back on Tuesday, March 4, 2003 I made a blog entry which happened to include "something-something-deleterd .. sorry" wordage in no context whatsoever. Since then, it has been the phrase which leads more people to this place than any other. Only fitting, don't you think, that we should provide something .. something for the searchers? I know, how about a picture ..


No? Well anyway, if you'd like to get this Demi look, try the Orbit Salon in Austin. Your hair will rock, or so they say. There wasn't that much deleted the last time I was in Austin, even on men. In fact, most of the guys in town at that particular time were there for the express purpose of evading ... err avoiding that particular look and wearing it to Southeast Asia.

Anyway, hope you fellows find just the right gal for you!Rick Macherat

11232239.1Clearing up a bit of confusion. There has been some discussion about Crank That Ironman. I've maintained that the performance of Ghostface Killah comes closest with the song Poisonous Darts. Others may disagree. Decide for yourself after reviewing the lyrics:
"Let's see you try the water technique! Hai! Ha, ha!
[sounds of fists and a whoosh of air followed by a punch]
The sky is high, the cloud is low
But my water technique is hard to think
that the earth, can absorb water, hai! Hai!"

Yeah... word up... gotta zip my coat
Yeah...

"The sky is high, the cloud is low" (f*** him)
"But my water technique is hard to think" (yeah, check the live s***)
"that the earth, can absorb water, hai! Hai!" (uhh)

[Verse One: Ghostface]

What the f*** I got the moonshine, word to God let's get it on
Clap your heels two times, grab the magic wand
Nameless, these stonewashed cats leave him brainless
Showin out of this world, stranded on Uranus
With coke and a dollar bill stems and crack capsules
Take a blast fool but we trap up crews it's natural
like soybean, burn like a laser beam
My vaccine I shoot it firm and it connects like sideburns
The segment, rare fragment comes together
like magnets, attract heads capture like Dragnet
Goin through mad phases, of all ages
Killa beez locked the f*** up behind cages
The Genovese swallow this line and caught a freeze
Press call ID for me to quote more degrees
The fortune teller Tucker sleepin gas umbrella
A war where they're gunnin in the back of Armanbella
Now who, don't believe that cash must rule
I don't eat beef, I slap blood out of Purdue
Keep a Wallace mic, mics on strike the session
It's over, I file this and glow like flourescent

[Raekwon sings some s*** over Water Technique samples]

[Verse Two: Ghostface]

Yo yo, methods of blow like snow constant cashflow
Rockin a Shaft afro, Tony got mad glow
with hoes, mega powder drippin from they nose
F***in Jet magazine b****es with, wild p****pose
Send em for the whole night, daily venom horror snake bites
Only Built 4 Cuban Link kings who shoot dice
Holdin money that's convertable, beds with feathered bags
With the mongoose your man's got two seeds down in Bagdad
You onionhead n****z spread out and parlay
Yo Rae these itch days get crashed with ash trays
I pull stings like, guitar strings down in Spain
I'm so hyped Jakes label God "crack cocaine"
Why Equality Self God, yeah yeah you know it kid
Ricki f***ed up, and G-Pac, blow his wig
he's rockin Wu Wear, the latest in fleece uniform
He's a newborn, look at money swearin like he's on
But anyway back to furry kangols Jamaican wallabees
My back is on the wall, bombin devils with trick-knowledgy
My heart is cold like Russia, got jerked at The Source awards
Next year two hundred n****z comin with swords!
I rest my case.Rick Macherat

11232238.1Complete out-of-it-ness.    You know you've arrived departed when you only recognize a couple of the performers in the I'm F—-ing Ben Affleck video.

But this was pretty funny,


.. brother and I were doing projects, and rather than clean up the room we put all the mess on the sofa and threw a blanket over it. Later, when sister-in-law just had to come over, she asked about it. I couldn't help but notice that the right side of the pile looked a lot like two feet heh-heh. Yeah, the whole story - about the burglar and how we kitchen-utensiled and bar-b-que skewered him to death in the fight and were waiting for dark to cut him up and get rid of the body - was a good piece of emotional storytelling if I do say so myself and she bought it all. Long enough for a good guffaw anyway. Bless her heart, she does make life worthwhile sometimes.Rick Macherat

11232237.1My annual ordeal.    The doctor loves to do physicals, why I cannot imagine. Would you put your hands all over a really, really old person and up their butt even if you didn't have to? We've gone round and round about this, but I finally gave in because I figure his kids need new shoes or something. Besides, it has been about twelve years.

The only problem, as I discovered tonight as I took the first bath (of three,) my underwear is older than he is. I have to ask, how old is he anyway? He's 39. Oh my good lord. You don't have to tell everything in the blog, you know. Rick Macherat
