just posting this pic…
/sigh this may only apply to those of us who truely understood the concept of dai lo… But is it me or is there a recent dearth of our favorite asian phenom…? FOBS (not f.o.b.s you wankers)..
walking down memory lane’s always a wonderfully colorful experience.. i was looking through the “me and Jae” section and LO AND BEHOLD i found this unforgettable littoh’ chinatawn vignette. I reveled aloud. “Damn Jae! remember that meat cleaver incident? what ever happend to that arm? Shaking down people was so much fun! Golly Gosh man your 87′ civic got hella hoochies! OMG wheres your favorite lead pipe!?”
Jae merely nodded approvingly…
categorized under super furry animals- cuz fobs were so utterly fuzzy n pettable…
-thanks for the pic bobbie. you fob magnet.
OH and for those of you asking- thats jae in the middle with the chest contraption… ok yes there shoulda been a giant /retardo sarcasmo/ heading.

Nike can buy people out left n right (remember REVOLUTION playing while some jock dances his sport dance in 200 dollar shoes?), but Hummer’s image is still a bit TOO identifiable with all that is stupefyingly opulent in the world. hah. Is it time to revisit FUH? when is it not???
F.U.H

Looks like his role in “Bamboozled” has got him thinkin… I honestly dunno what to say bout this… Is he trying to co-opt the word and reclaim it commercially (a possible stunt to test the limits of trademark?) or is he just being a complete whore. I mean, i dunno how i’d feel seeing this emblazoned on somones jumpsuit- or shiny sequened shirt. Either way i tend to lean towards what most Af. Am. academics say bout the word… but i’ll leave it at that.
two snaps and a Z formation

Backdrop college. I worked the binding machine at the campus copy shop (party ova heeeere)- whilst reading/binding an excerpt from the “traffic flow modeling” notes of a civil engineering course- i realized they were 20 years old… and this was like 7 years ago. (for you fellow art ppl- thats 20+7= 32 years) Coincidence? hardly.
The clips a bit slow in the beginning but wait for the pay off…. Now imagine doin this to 101 traffic during rush hour holmes!

Apparently being nutty n half naked whilst crooning like the brit you are is enough to be dubbed “TERR’IST” - reposted from ContactMusic.com (reposted cuz o’ popups. fk ads)
Singer MORRISSEY was quizzed by the FBI and British intelligence after speaking out against the American and British governments. The Brit is a famous critic of the US-led war in Iraq and has dubbed President GEORGE W BUSH a “terrorist” - but he was baffled to be hauled in by authorities.
Morrissey explains, “The FBI and the Special Branch have investigated me and I’ve been interviewed and taped and so forth.
“They were trying to determine if I was a threat to the government, and similarly in England. But it didn’t take them very long to realise that I’m not.”
“I don’t belong to any political groups, I don’t really say anything unless I’m asked directly and I don’t even demonstrate in public. I always assume that so-called authoritarian figures just assume that pop/rock music is slightly insane and an untouchable platform for the working classes to stand up and say something noticeable.
“My view is that neither England or America are democratic societies. You can’t really speak your mind and if you do you’re investigated.”

A kind of disturbing article on the potential sale of 3/4 of SF Japantown, ironically enough, on its 100th anniversary. There’s a petition to try and convince Kinetsu Corp. from going through with the sale, if anyone’s interested in signing.

Boingboing.net rox my sox. They just reposted an article discussing the economic impacts as well as what pretty much was the diamond industry’s worldwide PSYOPS campaign. Psychologically, consumption is hard wired. Conspicuous consumption, on the other hand, is steadfastly learned. The psychological manipulation of the general populace by savvy marketeers to swing towards such ridiculous norms for financial gains (aka ADVERTISING :P) is somewhat… Well, arseholish. Listerine coined the word HALITOSIS to scare the general (i.e. stupid) populace and drum up sales for its famed mouthwash. BUT mouthwash isn’t exactly a social status/ ritualistic necessity worth billions of dollars and thousands of lives… although some heads should REALLY look into it…esp on bart…
The craving for what essentially is super dense dino doodoo has always eluded me - they’re completely ordinary. on the tip of a drill sure they do great… but shit, if you rub MUD for long enough- it’ll shine… Now that recent developments in manufactured diamonds have peaked- the possibility of the syndicate’s world market collapsing hovers weakly over their heads. Are these cartels indeed holding back the world’s progress by keeping us out of possibly the next age – the Carbon/diamond Age? With cheap manufactured diamonds (aka CARBON) -replacing silicon/IC technology in computers and EVERYTHING from coating engine pistons to sushi knives, life could be improved a hundred fold… Alas the bottom dollar says it all I suppose. And De Beers is certainly not looking forward to this huge paradigm shift. That is, if it ever even happens…this article was after all written 20+ years ago :D
“legitimate diamonds” = sold conflict diamonds
oh and lookie here… De Beers might have lost it. but the market is still awash with ppl pining for that rock… kinda like crack.

FYI. It is illegal for health care providers to initially mention to patients about the option of abortion, and even the morning after pill. Patients MUST inquire first. Add the growing sentiments against sexual education and you have a coupling that is reminscent of acts of desperation involving wire hangers and quack doctors.
