If you space out your little rants a bit more, you'd probably get bigger laughs.

Now that we've passed into the year 2000 without the world ending, a lot of doom -preaching con-artists will find their mislead flocks dissipating. What scapegoat do you think they'll be using to bring new suckers into their clutches?
Many years ago, I had the unfortunate experience of living in one of the most bass-ackwards places on the planet, known as Great Falls, Montana. It is a place where you'll hear the phrases "Faggot Jew Banker" and "Uppity Prairie Nigger" with alarming regularity. I hated every single second I had to live in that redneck cultural cesspool. To make matters worse, the elders of my family decided that putting my butt into a private, fundamentalist, Southern Baptist school was just the thing I needed to knock the restlessness & rebellion out of me.
This particular school believed in things like
During the time I was in attendance, I was exposed to books by the likes of Jeff Godwin and the Peters Brothers, who would write highly inaccurate books attempting to prove how evil Rock & Roll really was. And for a while, some of these claims were taken seriously. The most notorious of the bunch was the infamous Judas Priest backward-masking trial in Reno, Nevada in 1986. Though after this trial no one took these theories seriously. No one, except people who cover their studio apartment windows with aluminum foil to keep out the radio beams which put evil thoughts in their heads (who in turn would actually dream up some of the better "proofs" of the evil). We now arrive at the dawn of a new millennium. These ideas and such deceitful tactics you would think would be a thing of the past. Unfortunately, they aren't. But by the same token, they have gotten more amusing; to the point of being as harmless as the guy in the park who argues with the statues. Such is the case of Dial-the-Truth Ministries. Our tinfoil hat-wearing friends out of Alabama would like you to know the following…
It's hard to believe, but it gets weirder from there. Really.
So in the coming year, expect to see more of these types of dire warnings. After all, Tipper will probably be First Lady.

Three Days and 25 Spocktails: A Cautionary Tale
Johnnie Royale picked me up from the dental surgery. I felt warm, safe, cradled in the anathesia's loving embrace. The pharmacy downstairs gave me a bottle of Vicodin and a few instructions: take it with food, don't mix with alcohol, don't operate heavy machinery. I put it in my pocket and we left. "Do you want to go home, or do you want to go to a bar?" asked Johnnie. (More...)

The Deep Dark Underbelly of the Star Wars Myth, or Ramayana Remembered
It's a fact: Star Wars is a blatant plagiarism of an ancient Asian legend, and the long lines of devout Star Wars freaks are really unscrupulous Asian copyright busters. From Indonesia to Thailand to Nepal, videos are available for sale or rent before they're even released in the US and UK due to this nerdy camcorder-clutching bunch. (More...)
Canadians Not So Different After All
Nobody wants to be prejudiced. But sometimes you can be biased and not even realize it. I think many Americans are biased in this way against Canadians. I never really stopped to think about it, but I myself used to be this way. I guess I thought that Canadians were "stuck-up" — you know, smarter and better cultured than us. But then I got educated about Canadia. (More...)

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.
