Photo Caption Contest #19
It’s Friday… photo caption time bitches. Click on the little blue button on the lower left side of the picture to bring up the Photocrank menu (or you can leave your caption in the comments if you are still into the old school). Have fun, but not too much fun… Peace out, and Billy Baldwin is a fucktard.

Wordle bitches…
Preposterous Ponderings set up a word cloud via a tool called wordle, it’s a pretty cool little tool. For my cloud, I basically went to my home page and did a “select all”, pasted it in the wordle tool, and whiz-bang-asshole, the word cloud below was vomited from the inner workings of the interwebz onto your screen. Enjoy bitches…

More comics yo…
Sadcox is writing up comic strips about the characters he’s known over the years… I figured I would take away his thunder about me final-battle-in-8-Mile style in the two comics below.

General Meows Chicken
In a former life I was into geographic information systems (GIS), spatial analysis, remote sensing, computer cartography, and satellite imagery analysis. Now, not so much, but I still dig that shit. When I was in grad school, I had multiple courses that covered these subjects including spatial statistics and advanced GIS. I’ve also always thought that stats are bullshit (i.e., you can make any point you want by massaging your data… not your wiggly bits). Anyway, I tried to figure out how to make a research topic out of spatial stats and my “stats are bullshit” hypothesis. I came up with an idea, show a positive correlation between the spatial proximity of Chinese Restaurants and Animal Hospitals/Veterinarian Clinics. I started to gather the data in a small pilot area in East Tennessee (ok, it was in fucking Knoxville) and started to massage my… er, data. I started with a 1/2 mile radius around the Animal hospitals searching for Chinese Restaurants, there was a correlation, but not strong. I extended the radius to 1 mile and boom, positive correlation. What does this prove? Not a fucking thing, but it was fun. Over the years I lost my data and test cases, also, it was in the ’90s so I was limited by the data available. I would be interested in seeing this analyis performed with proper data as it is much more abundant today…
Remember, if you hear meowing while you are in a Chinese Restaurant, get the fuck out! (This actually happened to my wife and I, but at a Japanese restaurant in Baltimore)

More obsessions
I finished watching the fourth season of The Wire on DVD and am dying to see the fifth season, but the fucking thing doesn’t come out until August. And like a “her-on” junkie from the show, I needed a new obsession. Lost isn’t doing it, I need a regular fix, and watching an hour a week or spreading it out over a season is for suckas. I’m now convinced that watching full seasons of shows on DVD is the only way to go. I have absolute control over what, when, and how. And I can fix-up a couple of shows a night if I get into it.
I actually don’t watch regular TV anymore. Can we dump our cable now? Hell no, we need Dora, Diego, Sesame Street, and the fucking-douchebag Wiggles for the crazy spawn on-demand.
My latest obsession is Entourage. I watched the first season in two days and am mid-way through the second season. Best line ever from the second season:
Dude, did you just get cock-blocked by Bob Saget?
Fucking classic…

There is something wrong with me
There is something seriously wrong with me. I can’t stop laughing when I see this scene (click below). The first time I saw it, I literally couldn’t breathe and had tears streaming down my face like a little bitch. I still giggle like a school boy when I see it. I need professional help.
