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…

Sadcox over at Hear It From Us found a cool tool called toonlet that creates comic strips. Here is my first “hello world” comic (in geek talk, my first attempt)… later bitches.

AND, my second attempt:

I saw a post over at Anonymous Idiot yesterday about The Wire and an infamous scene where the only dialog was with the word fuck (or slight variation, as in motherfucker or fuck me). I had to post the video of the scene, check it out below. The setup is a couple of salty cops recreating a crime scene in a vacant apartment some period of time after the crime (weeks, months?). The challenge, no dialog but the big F…. The Wire passed with flying colors, it kinda sounds like me putting together a bookshelf or any kids shit in my house.

Later bitches…

I have joined the beta of a new site called Anonymous Idiot (AI, not to be confused with Allen Iverson). This is a place where men are men, women are men, and dogs are scared shitless…. wait, that’s my last church, never mind. Anyway, AI has two main objectives: 1) Provide a place where you can post content that doesn’t fit in with your site’s content because it is too controversial (or in my case not controversial enough), and 2) generate backlinks to your site with the goal of generating additional traffic for you. If this is something that might be of interest to you, check it out, at least the content should be interesting enough for a laugh with a bunch of idiots writing them.

So now I’m a certified moron idiot… at least I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.

I’ve seen this particular meme all over the place, basically it is to sum up “you” with a song (this tracks back to Simply Curious). This one was a no-brainer for me, it’s gotta be Cooky Puss by the Beasties. In a unrelated post, Sadcox called me mean the other day in his comments whilst tagging me with a different meme. BTW I totally resemble that remark as well as a no-talent ass-clown, the problem is he tagged with a meme that I have to link to 5 posts about myself and my family etc. The rules are:

Link One: must be about family
Link Two: must be about friends
Link Three: must be about yourself
Link Four: must be about something you love
Link Five: can be anything you choose

My first thought, “FUCK, I don’t write about my family and shit”, then I remembered my stories from the road posts, all five requirements can be met with one story. Basically most of my writing is bitching about other people and all of the shit that happens around me, so that’s all I got, except one post about pissing out of my ass (and nobody wants to relive that one so I’m not even linking it). I’m also a non-conformist and have major problems with authority, so I’m not going to tag anybody with this meme, that’s just how I roll.

Anyway, here’s Cooky Puss, enjoy.

As a person I used to work with once said, “You have a head chock full of useless knowledge”, then she called me an asshole.  Anyway, I typically pepper most of my posts with random movie references, some fairly obscure, like “Beatrix Kiddo” in the previous post, and some lame-ass (like “I’ll be back” or “There can be only one” or “Me so horny”), but if you put all three of those together, it kinda sounds like a conversation I had with my wife last week.  Anywho, I’m going to count them up, lame-ass or not, and put a counter at the bottom of each post.  Try to figure out what they are, or not, what-the-fuck-ever, what am I here to entertain you?

I’m going to try something new on my site… if it gets too annoying (to me) or burdensome, then I’m going to shit-can it to the curb, but so far it seems to be a pretty cool little widget/service.  It’s called Photocrank, it allows readers to add content to the pictures on your site and will work particularly well with the photo caption contests.  I heard about this from Christyn who shot me an email about it, evidently she works over there @ Photocrank and thought it might work on Totaldiatribe.  Let’s just hope that Photocrank doesn’t have any obscenity or content hangups.  Let me know what you think…

I downloaded the NoFollow Free WordPress plugin last month and am just getting around to posting about it, ok so I’m a lazy bastard.  I got the idea from a couple of other sites including Hear ItFrom.Us, thanks for the advice.  Basically this plugin reverses the default “nofollow” tag that is embedded on each post comment and now allows the search engines to view comment links as “real” links.  The Man, i.e., the big search engines including Big G, don’t like this, but WTF do I care if they do or don’t.  Happy commenting.

Total Diatribe now includes polls…. well, I guess that’s it, were you expecting more?

I had tinkered with Google AdSense to see if it could generate some revenue for the site.  I think I ended up with a total of 7 clicks out of 7 or 8 thousand page impressions for a whopping $1.33 of pure profit, not so good.  So I’m dumping the no-good bitch.  Call it a failed pilot, on the plus side, the site doesn’t look as cluttered.  I think it will take a lot of convincing for me to put ads back up and at least an order of magnitude increase in traffic before I reconsidered.
