 Mr. Bad |
Ah-HA! I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it |
 Tjames |
I find Leisuretown a tad discomfiting. |
 Arkuat |
dudes, i always hang out here |
Mr. Bad |
NO overlap in personnel? Tristram Shandy is not one of the Jerk City folk. |
Mr. Bad |
Tristan Farnon, I mean. |
Mr. Bad |
Or whatever. |
| CAREFULLY INVESTIGATORS WOULD'VE NOTICED THE SERVERS WERE HOSTED BY THE SAME ISP |  Rands |
Arkuat |
why didn't you send me an email to let me know you had an interview scheduled for EFnet #pigdog? |
Mr. Bad |
JESUS! |
Tjames |
It's OK, arkie. We'll remove your contributions post facto. |
Mr. Bad |
What kind of journalist am I!? |
Arkuat |
okay cool |
Mr. Bad |
Cripes. |
Mr. Bad |
Yeah, we'll scribble you out in post, arkie. |
Mr. Bad |
Like a Politburo member fallen out of favor. |
Arkuat |
okay if i watch? i could just go trolling on #philosophy if you want me to go away |
Tjames |
Like HST's cigarette in that Gap ad. |
| Fine with me. | Rands |
Mr. Bad |
Arkie, no, don't bother. |
Mr. Bad |
Arkie, meet Rands, from Jerkcity.com. |
| HOLA | Rands |
Mr. Bad |
Arkuat is a Pigdog fellow from back in the day. |
Tjames |
Arkuat is a Monster Truck Extropian. |
Arkuat |
greetings. |
Mr. Bad |
Well, so, I want to get into an interesting topic, which is the GAYNESS. |
| UH OH | Rands |
Tjames |
It's OK. We're not GAY. |
Mr. Bad |
Do you get lots of irate letters from gay beatniks or gay scottie dogs or gay aliens who are angry about the way they are portrayed on Jerk City? |
Mr. Bad |
Well, except Arkuat. He's queer as a chocolate pizza. |
| Actually no. I can't think of one nasty hate mail we've received | Rands |
Tjames |
Yeah, his GAYNESS contains multitudes. |
Enigma enters the IRC channel.
Tjames |
haha |
Mr. Bad |
Gah! Jesus! THis is getting to be a major gangfuck! |
| I mean, it's pretty obvious WE'RE TRYING TO BE FUCKING FUNNY HERE PEOPLE | Rands |
Mr. Bad |
[Enigma], meet rands from Jerk City. |
 Enigma |
Hey rands |
Tjames |
We should have set up a special pig-interview channel or sumthin |
| GANG BANG RANDS QUICK | Rands |
Mr. Bad |
rands, meet [Enigma], my next Perl regexp. |
Enigma |
Interface is as interface does |
Mr. Bad |
Well, I think that's fairly obvious to most people, rands, but the internet is full of Literalist Fuckheads. |
Tjames |
Well, I have to admit, I think it's funny to call things gay, too. |
Tjames |
But I called something gay once, and Mr. bad said, "Tjames, you should not make fun of people just because they are gay," He's so sensitive. |
| So, do you guys have a favorite character? | Rands |
Tjames |
I like the alien with the tongue, just because it's so creepy. |
Mr. Bad |
Yeah, my favorite is rands, the scotty dog. |
Mr. Bad |
I mean, the beatnik. |
| Spigot | Rands |
Mr. Bad |
Hey, WE'LL ask the questions, rands! |
Mr. Bad |
Jesus! |
| READY FOR MY CLOSE-UP HERE | Rands |
Mr. Bad |
So, where does the Jerk City name come from? Like, City of Jerking off? |
| Domain name popped in my head in '98... | Rands |
Mr. Bad |
Or city of people who are mean? |
| JERK = funny. CITY = lots of funny. | Rands |
Tjames |
Like extra jerk. |
Mr. Bad |
Oh, hey, I should have figgered that out before. |
| Registered the name and then THOUGHT HARD ABOUT WHAT TO DO WITH IT | Rands |
| It was originally going to be a masterbation resource | Rands |
Mr. Bad |
I want to point out that my favorite jerkcity is the one where SPigot says, like, "Not a day goes by that I don't jerk off so much I get a stomach ache." |
| BUT I CAN'T STAND LOOKING AT BONERS | Rands |
Arkuat |
I like how you use ALL CAPS |
| ALL CAPS = FUNNY | Rands |
Mr. Bad |
I was touched very deeply. I didn't feel so alone any more. |

John Dvorak has passed. I’m of mixed emotions. First off I’m more positive about his contribution to the overall technology journalism of the early PC days through the 90s, despite how many things he got wrong. He was a firebrand and commanded attention. (More...)

Poor Metallica. All they want is to continue to put out the same weak "Heavy Metal" they've been churning out since the "And Justice For All" days? and make gooey wads of cash in the process. The problem is, people aren't buying their bound for the heavy metal scrap heap, over-produced, uninspired, tired crap. And let's face it, their various commercial endorsements won't pay for the lifestyle they've become comfortably accustomed to. Resorting to lawsuits makes perfect sense, when you need spending money. But just one lawsuit isn't going to pay their bills. So, to aid Metallica, I've composed an open letter to the boys in the band, with suggestions as to whom else they might sic their lapdog lawyers on... (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...)
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...)
