uhh, ahem…er right.
ok well, i’m not the biggest fan of ben and jerry, well the ice cream is ok, though they did screw my dad on a business deal back in the 90’s, but hell, bygones are bygones…..
this is interesting though, damn, i’m getting all political and shit.
cookies and the budget? genius.
while i’m at it, and for jimmy’s sake–anyone remember color me bad…they did the sexy you up song featured in new jack city…they had the george michael look a like, the milli vanilli look alike, the kenny g lookalike and the vinny from the flatbush lookalike. good times.

Yes, I remember Color Me Bad. I have New Jack City on DVD too. I really like that movie!

I am in complete agreement that the US government uses its federal budget in an imbalanced and misguided way. I am not so convinced, however, that merely redistributing funds (as suggested by the shifting of Oreo cookies) is enough to “take care of all these other problems.” For example, take education. Perhaps the problem is not that the federal government spends too little. Instead, maybe the problem is that it is the federal government that is spending it in the first place. Some argue that the money should be handed over to local governing bodies: let the schools decide what they need and on what they must spend their money. Maybe the problem is centralized spending as such, where fatcats in Washington decide what’s best on the basis of the latest gallup poll…

Mmmm, I like Oreos- but not the double stuffed ones. They’re just too heavy.

Dude, Jefke, It’s Color Me Badd, with 2 D’s!!!
“Feel my body all night long, open your heart, it can’t be wrong”
Wow . . . could one song be any more inappropriate for a movie about drug dealers?

weird to think that new jack hustler and i wanna sex you up could be tracks 1 and 2 respectively on a soundtrack.

I’m sorry. I thought this was a site where people actually talked about what was posted.
I really dislike Oreos. Even just the filling.
As for Color Me Badd, I’m afraid they have broken up. But cheer up ageing fans! Bryan Abrams has started a solo career!

Hmm. Perhaps local and state governments should be footing the cookies for education and such–money spent closer to the people responsible for distributing it. The Federal givernment should do what the federal government is supposed to do (interstate roads, interstate trade disputes, national defense) and leave the rest up to the states/counties/cities. Fucking commies.
You’re a pinko, but I still love you, Jeff.
Color Me Badd rocked.

um, “givernment” was supposed to be “government,” but perhaps it was a freudian pun.
9 jefke // Jan 28, 2004 at 8:37 pm
i like the givernment very telling. ok b…
it’s true that simply re allocating the oreos is far to simplistic an answer that have to be severe ineffceincies (except after c?) happening with all the cookie eaters. there have been enough scandles about 400 dollor toilet seats and 4 buck gallons of haliburton gas going on in the pentagon pile, at the same time there’s prolly no way that the money that is allocated for education acutally is spent in an effecient or effective manner…. so i agree with you there. I guess what the cartoon really illustrates is how fucking cool flash is–and how, i’d love to learn it in some hope that it having such abilities would tap some hidden spring of animation creativity that hithertofore i have never had. between that clip and homestarrunner.com, i just froth at the mouth in that alls my life i’s never been good at the arts thing, and to think the by beloved computer could do the heavy lifting…it’s a dream come true–until i realize that drawing skills are not what i lack, it’s the vision and idea….but i digress.
i will say this, though. for all the cash i give we, and i mean as americans spend on defense–we keep getting this ‘downsized’ closing all the army bases/no money to do their job message and shit…what gives. not to mention that we only kick ass in “bomb the fuck out of them” wars. hell all that cash we should be better and countering guerilla shit. but then again, the white anti-tax slave owners that started this whole thing wouldn’t have been able to beat those red coats with out shady ‘hit and run’ tactics….
time for another beer.

OK. So on the typo/misspelling front, jefke, that last comment was a doozy.
ineffceincies
scandles
dollor
haliburton
acutally
effecient
…then you seemed to collect yourself when you got to the Flash business. Of course, the problem there is that by identifying Flash as an animation tool, you really dated yourself, from a tech point of view.
As to the politics, I’ve not a damn thing to say.
Lastly, with a view to the previous post/comments, of the last 20 days, I think we’ve had 18 where the high for the day was at most -20. Celcius, admittedly, but cold enough. With the infamous wind chill factor, the average was closr to -38.
Shocking, even for a Quebe… that is to say one who never lived in frickin’ Alberta.

jefke’s spelling karma got me again with that “closr”… but at least in my case, it’s a typo.
12 B // Jan 29, 2004 at 8:00 am
My personal favorite was the reference to jefke’s sexually ambiguous hardware. “the by beloved computer could do the heavy lifting…” Lifting both ways nowadays, eh pinko?

wow
the knick pickers have come out of their holes last NITE, yeah NITE…
i’m not sure what i want i’m gonna do about all of this. it seems that such a high percentage of my readership really takes offence to my not cutting and pasting everything in to a word processing program and then spell/grammar checking everything, sending it out to an editor, getting the pope to sign off and then running it through the US/quebe/limey friendly english translator. this, pointing out where jefke spells things incorrectly horse is deader than flash as a weakass content presentation and navigation tool–date that bitch, or no no, wait, deader than ‘colaboration software’. but i digress.
seriously, i refuse to proofread, just because for once in my life, i am in complete control of this little piece of my life, and i don’t have to do what i don’t want. –yep sounds very 12 year oldish…hell, i’ll even raise it up a notch to 10 year old-ish and threaten to take the whole fucking site, down. yep i said it. i enjoy the ‘fast turnaround’/converstation style posts and comments on this site–if we’re gonna suck the life out of everything. hell, i’ll just suck the life out of this site, and save my self the 13 bucks a month in hosting fees.
i’m gonna go back to my fort and play with my imaginary friends. seriously get over it, if you need this feel cool mentioning it all the
