Recent acquisitions...

Good luck has been with me on my recent thrifts:

In an attempt to increase my rotation of shirts, I have been searching ebay. Luck would have it that I stumble upon a wonderful black self stripe double cuff shirt. I have never heard of the company International Concepts before now but I do enjoy the cut of this shirt of theirs. The sleeves aren't too long for my arms, which is a rarity for most ready to wear garment I buy. And now I have an excuse to wear my cuff links more often. I think that this shirt has replaced my H&M black striped shirt as my favorite shirt.

And locally, I have added 2 ties and a handkerchief to my wardrobe. While not a fan of skinny ties, a black paisley tie seemed like something I couldn't pass up on for daily wear. The other tie, also black, is dotted with tiny white diamonds. Hopefully this will help wean myself off of my beloved solid black wool tie. The handkerchief was initially bought to serve as a pocket square. But after a couple of attempt to fold it for such usage, it was found to be too bulky to fit in a front chest pocket. So I guess that it'll stay a handkerchief and become my default one.

FNM 12/19/2009

Well it was a productive night at FNM. Ended up splitting for Top 4. Got 7 packs and the DCI promo Sakura Tribe Elder. Here's how I got there.

Round 1: Vampires
Game 1: My opponent arrived late, so the first round was an auto-win
Game 2: I duressed twice, getting a Sign in Blood and Needlebite Trap. She played a guy, then unholy strength, and I bolted him. A blightning stripped her Malakir Bloodwitch, and my Plated Geopede with two fetchlands came in for the kill.

Round 2: Spread 'em (The guy who beat me when I played him against my previous R/B deck a couple weeks ago)
Game 1: He mulligans to 5. A first turn Duress reveals two lands, Convincing Mirage (discards), and Baneslayer Angel. I get Plated Geopede down, swing and pump with a Teetering Peaks, then swing with a Fetchland and double Lightning Bolt him.
Game 2: He mulligans to 6. I get triple Bloodghast, and that takes care of that.

Round 3: Jacerator (U/W Turbofog)
Game 1: He mulligans to 6. I Duress an Angelsong and follow with a Plated Geopede and 2 Vampire Nighthawks, and he gets a Wall of Denial down. I swing for a few turns until he Wraths. I get down another Nighthawk, then Ob-Nixilis, and his landfall ability wins it.
Game 2: I duress a Flashfreeze first, then get in with a Peaked Bloodghast. I then get another Bloodghast down followed by 2 Lightning Bolts. He sacs a Sunspring Expedition to go back to 18. He plays a Howling Mine and I Shatter it from the sideboard. I get in with random swings from the Nightkawk, then get Ob-Nixilis down, and his ability does the rest.

Round 4: Intentional Draw

Round 5: Intentional Draw

Top 8
Round 1: Jund
Game 1: He mulligans to 5. I start off with a Plated Geopede, then a Bloodghast, then a Hell's Thunder. He played a Terminate during that entire game. I managed to Duress a Blightning too.
Game 2: He played a land, I played a swamp, he played a land, I played an Arid Mesa. He played a land, Blightning'd me, and I discarded 2 Bloodghasts. EoT I sac'd the Mesa, bringing the Bloodghasts back into play. They are joined by a 3rd Bloodghast. He cast a Putrid Leech, Blightning and Mind Rot that game.

We decide to split the Top 4, and I'm home early enough to get a decent sleep before work tomorrow. Good night!

Today in Bug Sodomy news

Bug powder causes male bedbugs to stab each other to death with their penises

Male bedbugs will schtup anything, and when they do, their stabby little penises can do great damage to one another. Female bedbugs have some "down there" armor that absorbs the punishing blows of the bedbug's love-spear, but males lack this protection. A pheromone discovered by a Swedish researcher can cause male bedbugs to kill each other with their penises through uncontrolled shagging.

Previous torture phalluses.

Today in Sodomy news

Eighth Graders In Oral Plea

A pair of Georgia eighth graders this week copped to public indecency charges after they engaged in oral sex while a substitute teacher was helping other students at the front of the classroom. [...] As part of the plea, sodomy charges against both students were dropped, and a probation violation count leveled against the boy was dismissed. After being held at a youth detention facility, the girl was released to her parents's custody. The boy, however, remains locked up, according to a law enforcement official.

Playstation and Facebook: unclear on the concept.

I saw that in the latest PS3 OS update, they added Facebook integration. Now, there's one and exactly one thing that could possibly be useful for, right? You've already thought of it in the time it took you to read that sentence. The one useful thing would be to unify your friends lists, so that your PS3 can automatically know which of your Facebook friends are online without you having to search for and then manually enter all of their Playstaion Network IDs.

Guess what, it doesn't do that. All it does is make it so that the PS3 can spam your Facebook Status every time you buy a game, and every time you upload a trophy. Who would ever, ever want it to do either of these things?

I'll bet a "Social Media Consultant" was involved.

I hate it when that happens.

Fortunately the utility belt that was provided for him contained shark repellant.

A civilian passenger in an air force display plane accidentally activated the ejector seat while reaching for something to steady himself during a mid-air manoeuvre. It is thought he activated the ejector seat after lurching forward during an aerobatic manoeuvre and accidentally pulling on the black and yellow emergency handle between his legs.

Your tax dollars at work.

Insurgents Hack U.S. Drones

Militants in Iraq have used $26 off-the-shelf software to intercept live video feeds from U.S. Predator drones, potentially providing them with information they need to evade or monitor U.S. military operations.

Senior defense and intelligence officials said Iranian-backed insurgents intercepted the video feeds by taking advantage of an unprotected communications link in some of the remotely flown planes' systems. Shiite fighters in Iraq used software programs such as SkyGrabber -- available for as little as $25.95 on the Internet -- to regularly capture drone video feeds, according to a person familiar with reports on the matter.

The potential drone vulnerability lies in an unencrypted downlink between the unmanned craft and ground control. The U.S. government has known about the flaw since the U.S. campaign in Bosnia in the 1990s, current and former officials said. But the Pentagon assumed local adversaries wouldn't know how to exploit it, the officials said.

Today, the Air Force is buying hundreds of Reaper drones, a newer model, whose video feeds could be intercepted in much the same way as with the Predators, according to people familiar with the matter. A Reaper costs between $10 million and $12 million each and is faster and better armed than the Predator. General Atomics expects the Air Force to buy as many as 375 Reapers.

Repository of All Human Knowledge - In Anime.

Our work here will not be complete until every Wikipedia page contains an "In Anime" sub-section.

Is there a blog that highlights the stupidest Wikipedia events? I subscribe to the RSS feed of the Lamest edit wars article, but I find that insufficient.

LANDMARK TOMATO Replaced by FESTIVE TOPIARY.

This can't be a coincidence, right?

Exhibit A: Exhibit B:

You can't really tell from the photo, but the
topiary is not hanging from the building where
the Historic Tomato once reclined: it's a tree
on the curb side of the sidewalk.
