"This is serious, we could make you delirious..."
Remember, kids, if your pills start singing to you, you probably didn't get them from a pharmacy in the first place, and a spell at Betty Ford should do you right..

Joey, Johnny and DeeDee are rolling in their graves...
This turned up when I was using iTunes's "Just For You" feature:
Someone actually thinks that a band that repulsed me back when I was in junior high school (especially their alleged "classic" album) would be a good recommendation for a Ramones fan? On what grounds? Someone needs to tell whoever came up with this that no punk rocker in his right mind would ever be caught dead listening to motherfucking Journey!

A Question That Just Might Blow Robert Fripp's Mind
A favorite Robert Fripp quote of mine from a 1984 interview goes, "Me and a book is a party. Me and a book and a cup of coffee is an orgy."
Suppose this was the book, though?

OMG, Poledance Much?

Tales from the Office
"I've heard stories of it happening to others, I just didn't think it would happen to me..."
I work the graveyard shift for this media company. The building is basically empty during my shift, except for one security guard, a couple members of the janitorial staff, and random folks (usually kids on the street teams for urban radio). It's nice and quiet up in this bitch. I get to kick back, watch TV and surf the web all night, with no one looking over my shoulder.
On this particular night, I decide to bring a big lunch. Not just any old lunch, but a bunch of wings from Wingstop. I went there for dinner and planned to bring some of my leftovers. I had cajun, hickory bbq and parmessan flavored wings. Dee-fauken-licious! So 4am finally rolls around, and I'm feeling kinda hungry. You can probably guessed what happened next. I open the fridge int the break room and my food is gone! I specifically remember placing it on the top shelf and it was now missing. Now the fridge is loaded with random food and drinks, so I scramble to look for my lunch behind all this other crap, like those kids in that one Sunny Delight commercial.
No Luck.
Some starving punk-ass jacked my food and has gotten away with it (for now). It's not like my bag said Wingstop on it either. It was wrapped up in a blank bag. The funny thing is, there was another blank bag of food all opened up and exposed inside the fridge, but it had a sandwhich and a ziplock bag of rice. The food thief must have checked that bag first, then thought JACKPOT upon finding my lunch. Now I'm waiting for 5am to roll around so I can go get me a McGriddle. Don't trip, food thieves are known to strike often. I'll just have to spike a fake lunch and hope the thief takes the bait.

CJ's Video Of The Moment "Prog-Rockers In The 80's" Edition
Robert Fripp & Andy Summers "I Advance Masked" (A&M, 1982)
Ingredients for this video:
1. Take one prog-rock guitar icon (albeit one quite comfortable in the punk/new wave early 80's and beyond, King Crimson's Robert Fripp).
2. Add one 80's non-hair-metal guitar hero (The Police's Andy Summers, who just happened to have been a friend of Fripp's for decades)
3. Mix in a bunch of pretty Asian women and some banners that read "Hitori No Watashi" ("I, as one person").
Result: Bewilderment all around, albeit with some eye candy and a cool soundtrack.
Only Robert Fripp could peel off 32nd notes in 7/4 time while having a "what-the-fuck?" expression on his otherwise mild-mannered face.

Pic of the Day " 19yrs of Gakisan" Edition
HAPPY 19th Birthday to my future wife Risa...yeah..I've finally decided that she's THE ONE....it took me awhile to come to that conclusion because....c'mon?!...it ain't easy(for me at least) to choose between Rika, Aya, Miki, Sayumi and of course Reina(who has already been spoken for by a certain someone) but Risa is the one who just seems to be "wifey" material...I don't know what it is...I mean Rika was the first one that I fell in love with but she seems a little high maintenance to me...Aya and Miki...getting with either one would be great but they'd constantly be together(which isn't a bad thing) and I would definitely have to fight for there affection when we were all "together" if you know what I mean....and Sayumi...my Sayummy...she can't cook..
so I have chosen the lovely Risa for my wife...I can see it now...me, Risa and our daughter Mayuko(yeah..I've already picked out our daughters name)..strapping on our jetpacks..holding hands and flying to the local skymall for a little cryo-cream and tang...aw...such fun times
taking a page out of CJ's book...here's a special OPV I made just for my Risa

My Munny...Stage One
so as you can tell..I'm not much of an artist but I can color the hell out of anything with crayons...anyway..this is what I "plan" to do for my munny...Hasheem from Tokyo Tribes..I'm gonna try to make his afro out of sculpey but if that doesn't work then I'm assed out and have to go back to the drawingboard...
and here's a very helpful link for first time DIYers: FAQ NEW TO Customizing

Wait Till I Get My Munny Right...
you all saw Freefall's Hobbes munny that he posted on YODC a few weeks back...and I know you bastards love it when we do "team" type things on the blog where EVERYONE contributes(ie: the what's your desktop posts) and I know you all have just a smidge of artistic talent..even SoG.....so...I hereby officially announce the 1st Annual YODC Custom Munny Off......each of you will customize your own munny...use markers, crayons, chalk,stickers, ketchup...whatever...doesn't have to be all fancy schmancy..just do your best..even if that means drawing 2 dots and a line for a face..
for custom ideas and more info on the Munny, check the official Kidrobot Munny website here
recommended tools to use for your munny:
Acrylic Paint
Crayons(yes..crayons do work)
Sharpie Water Based Poster Paint Pens - these seem to be the only markers that work really well on vinyl..they're just hard to find though..the only place I've been able to find them(besides online) is Aaron Bros.
and if you want to get really fancy...Super Sculpey
Kidrobot's DIY Munny can be found at various online stores but Rocketpop seems to have them at the lowest price.. if you don't want to order over the web and don't have a Kidrobot Store near by(in SF,LA and NY..soon Miami) Urban Outfitters usually carries KR merchandise..
if you want to get your ideas down on paper before starting on your munny...you can go here and download a template..
deadline for completion of your munny will be the end of THIS year so that gives all of you lazy ass's plenty of time..and it would be nice if you made blog entries showing the progress of your custom..
so hop to it bastards......oh..there's no prize or incentives to completing your munny..I just thought it would be a interesting thing to do...
AND....if any of you guys out there(yeah I'm talking to the 5 people that visit YODC everyday) want to participate..please do..
