One of the great things about aging is that you don't have to hang out with or see the people you had sex with as a teenager. With incest you don't have that luxury.

Memepool Has Links
1999-01-17 19:36:00
Memepool.com -- a links-to-links-to-links site by a bunch of freak-os from Carnegie Mellon and the IRC #perl channel -- has a whole buncha links. I mean, like, a lot. Yeah, really, a Web site by IRC freaks (and people from CMU (and some other people)). Serious!
Memepool is in my mind pretty OK. It's got a heavy geek factor -- you can tell they've done their Slashdot homework -- plus a lot of other stuff.
The site's nothing to write home about, design-wise. But that's OK. A little less dancing baloney won't hurt the Web much, that's for sure.
The thing that bugs me most is that they don't put much descriptive text around the links. I mean, it costs me TIME to go visit those links. I want to know what I'm going to see, dammit.
Anyways, I'd give memepool.com a B. It's better than average for a links-to-links-to-links site. I'm also retrogressively downgrading CamWorld to a C, just because it's not as good as memepool, and I guess I got a little generous with the grading there. OK, so, beauty. Check out memepool. GO there. Now. Do it.

It’s election night. My wife and I are holed-up in this hotel that my political party has rented out for the evening. Outside, people are being violently beaten for whom they voted for. Is this South Africa? Perhaps we’re in Haiti or some Southern state during the 60’s. Of all the places where this sort of thing happens, it’s mind-boggling that we are in Portland, Maine. (More...)
The IBM Selectric Typewriter Changed My Life
I ran my hands lovingly across her frame, lightly brushing her metallic nipples with my fingers, admiring the shapes and the ways of her curves, the empathetic hum she produced as I had my way with her, the way she made it all seem so effortless and right... she didn't even seem to mind the way I roughly manipulated her knobs and tweaked her casing. She was extremely tolerant, for a typewriter. (More...)

Vacationing from Somnambulant Narrow Realities
So about six months ago, I was chilling in Chang Mai, Thailand with ICBINJ, perursing the Bangkok Times over my banana pancake and Big Chang breakfast when I spotted this article reprinted from the LA Times. It was about some kooks from California (where else?) who were claiming to have been to the front lines in Afgahnistan in mid-December and had recorded the whole feat on their website. "Holy Fuck!" I thought, "Now That's web journalism. Who are these guys!?" (More...)
