Dear Boss,
I keep on hearing the police have caught me but they wont fix me just yet. I
have laughed when they look so clever and talk about being on the right
track. That joke about Leather Apron gave me real fits. I am down on whores
and I shant quit ripping them till I do get buckled. Grand work the last job
was. I gave the lady no time to squeal. How can they catch me now. I love my
work and want to start again. You will soon hear of me with my funny little
games. I saved some of the proper red stuff in a ginger beer bottle
over the last job to write with but it went thick like glue and I cant use it.
Red ink is fit enough I hope ha. ha. The next job I do I shall clip the
ladys ears off and send to the police officers just for jolly wouldn't you.
Keep this letter back till I do a bit more work, then give it out straight. My
knife's so nice and sharp I want to get to work right away if I get a chance.
Good Luck.
Today in history:
In 1888 in the Whitechapel district of London, Mary Ann Nichols was murdered.

Sore thumbs. Do they stick out? I mean, have you ever
seen a thumb and gone, 'Wow! That baby is sore!'
Ow, my achin thumbses!
8/29/03
Turn around, stick it out, even white boys gotta shout
I just feel like updating every day. So there!
8/28/03
It's not stupid, it's advanced!
Update. BAM!
8/27/03
Well spiders have a highly developed sense of smell the perfume might
confuse them.
Great if we die we die smelling nice.
You ever go into the bathroom and just as you sit down or step in the
shower the phone or doorbell rings? Well, I'd prefer that to having
this charge at me!

At the rate the liberals are going, it won't be long before our country
has an official policy mandating the separation of church and state.
Taurus: (April. 20—May 20)
The way you relate to others will only be subtly altered by your new habit of
carrying a constantly firing Gatling gun under each arm.
I love The Onion

My god, it's full of stars...
Well, I'm tired, so it's gonna be a short update. Been busy combined
with much driving. I have some hazy pics taken from Sunrise Mountain and
Dingman's Ferry last Thursday, but I feel to lazy to resize them and such
right now, so it may not be till this weekend when they are seen.
I really don't know what to say today I had to drive down to Long Branch
Friday and to day and will continue to do so every day for the rest of the
week for some reason. I just didn't want go to long
without
an
update.
Ok, I'm gonna go, if you want to know what happened this weekend, ask
Scott.
Oh, here isz your picture.

That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die.
Today in 1890 Howard Phillips Lovecraft was born in Providence, Rhode
Island.
In celebration, I give you
this.
On the news front, we here at babakganoosh were misinformed about that Anagram
we gave you a way back. Apparently the correct one is ROAST MULES,
and the clue is something along the lines of something any child can do.
And the answer is SOMERSAULT. Enjoy.
If you are having trouble with it, just look at
this.
It'll make you feel better.

I don't know what to say the monkeys wont do.
So, I got the pics up for Zax picanic.
you can look at them if you'd like.
Also, you can check out pictures of
Buddy, that's JMS's
Cat (He's the guy who crated Babylon 5)
Umm...nothing else to report. Eh.
8/17/03
But then I had an epiphany while we were roasting alive.
Elephanty? Is that like a pachyderm?
No, my stupid, stupid, friend.
So, i decided to try and redo my guestbook. Go over and sign it
again or even for the first time, eh? Hopefully this time it will come
out in order.
Ok, well my weekend was different from what I expected since I didn't actually
do either of the two things that I had planned. Instead of going to the
AB&G, I ended up going to Tom's. that's
right, Tom's. We were eventuall joined
by ROSS and Jack and pizza. We watch some weird DVD programme from
England that Tome has.
Saturday I went to a picanic with Zak and some of his friends. It was
fun and I took a few pictures and will hopefully get them up tomorrow.
Afterwards we played this card game called pounce (or something wacky that
Rimpy and her sister called it). It was kind of similar to solitaire,
but with multiple players. That evening ROSS came over to be geeky and
work on a character for my B5 game.
We were also joined by Giner and we multitasked as we watched
Manhunter (in case you are
unaware, this was the original adaptation of the novel, Red Dragon).
Sunday, AKA today, there was a whole lotta nothing. Well, DVD watching,
but that pretty much sums it up.
In other news:
Tom guessed the past two quotes:
8/7/03
I am the monarch of the
sea...
From HMS Pinafore. I did cheat a little on that one
though. I would also have accepted Salah from Raiders of
the Lost Ark.
8/14/03
A line has been
drawn against the Darkness, and we will hold that line, no matter the cost-
From Babylon 5 - Partial credit goes to Bobbank for the
confirmation!
Tom is correct. So he gets his own webpage!
I guess that's about it. Maybe I'll think of more to say tomorrow.
I did post my resume off to the side there, with my
personal information removed. Seriously, if you have the possiblity of
getting me a job, I can send you my proper resume.
Well, finally for this weeks pic.
This was chosen after seeing the Dennis Leary Roast, twice.
8/14/03
A line has been drawn against the Darkness, and we will hold that line,
no matter the cost.
Well around 4:15 or so today, while I was in the shower (ah, the
unemployed life), the lights dimmed for a bit but then came back on.
Apparently we were lucky because NYC, most of the northeast, parts of Canada,
Cleveland and Detroit are without power. Damn. So, if you care to
respond, I will make a list.
Where were you when the lights went out?
In other news, I got some responses for the daily quotes.
There was basically a tie for 8/11 with emails arriving within minutes of each
other
PM: cause I said it!!!! and i am
referring to ken
CH: that famous (now
infamous) quote was from Tricia Maguire at the 2003
Summer Party Extravaganza (the Kenvil Experience)
And for 8/9, despite Rosie's many attempts, the final answer was
given by CH
it’s from a woody woodpecker cartoon… Man, I
can't believe it took so long to get that one. Plus, if anyone can find
a wave file of that please
send it to me.
And, good ol' Li, who's stuck in the dark, got the one from 8/13
its from the two towers. i think its sam talking to
gollum.
Um...That's all I can think of for now. see some of you at
the AB&G tomorrow and some at Contempt on Saturday
8/13/03
What we need is a few good taters.
What's taters, precious? What's taters, eh?
Po-tay-toes. Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.
I'm hungry.
8/11/03
He's gonna go home, drop a deuce, and THEN hit it.
So, I had a good weekend. Fun, fun, fun and fun too.
Friday was another fun night at the AB&G, but this time was a rare appearance
from Kat. Then on Saturday, the sky opened up just in time for T&Cs big
summer party. Despite the heave rain, several peeps went into the pool.
Though a couple came running when I took a picture, thinking that they saw
lightning. (I was amused). I was also amused when Georgie got out
of the pool and ran through the rain fast so she wouldn't get wet...
Anyway, the food was great and it was fun talking to people. Including
Roy, Katie, Tricia (a different one) and Sean (a different one) who I didn't
get snapshots of (If I said something about stuffed cakes, would you think of
something similar to a stuffed animal or something containing Bavarian kreme?).
I got some pics, you can see them here.
Sunday consisted of hanging out all day, then at night Rachel came over to
give us a balloon and watch the Dennis Leary Roast. That was great, I
especially liked when his priest made some jokes, that guy was quite funny.
OK, a couple of announcements.
This Thursday is Craig's birthday,
so you should wish him joy and such.
This Saturday is Contempt.
It's at 10pm at Remote Lounge --
Lower Level 327 Bowery (btw 2nd & 3rd Streets). See you there.
And, the pic of the week.
8/9/03
If Woody had gone straight to the police, none of this would
ever have happened.
Well, I was shooting for a daily update thing this week, but I had
absolutely nothing to say yesterday. Alas... So, anyways, last
night was yet another fun AB&G night, which was fun mainly because Jen felt me
up. Yup, she handled my man boobs.
I got this email today. I'm not sure, I
think it may be a scam, but then again...
8/7/03
I am the monarch of the sea...
So, Tom actually responded and guessed several of the quotes:
8/6/03"I'll have my new webpage up at the end of the week. You'll see,
it'll be great!"
-Tom O'Keefe (btw, it is up and i just ain't tellin you the name) I
believe you, why would you lie
8/5/03
"Hey Steve!"
-Hey Steve in 'Crazy Cartoon' I would also have accepted 'Sweet
Cuppin Cakes'
8/3/03
"I walk in a Chinese restaurant and can’t get cheese
They ask me to order something else please
But this is America
I demand my cheese
In a Chinese restaurant I do as I please"
-I'm guessing Dave Brockie From the song 'The Chinese Have No
Cheese'
8/2/03
"One, two, Freddy's coming for you! / Three, four, better lock your door! /
Five, six, grab your crucifix! / Seven, eight, better stay up late! / Nine,
ten, never sleep again! "
-From all those Nightmare on Elm Street Movies
So, Tom gets the prize, and that is having his website mentioned on this
page, so here is Tom's website.
Anyway, Last night I had a great dinner, Ham with a cranberry sauce, peas and
baked potato. now that isn't all that amazing until you realize that I
made it all myself. Neato, eh?
8/6/03
I'll have my new webpage up at the end of the week. You'll
see, it'll be great!
So, first off, Amanda correctly guessed the quote from 8/4 as from Star
Wars (C'mon it was an easy one.) And thus proving that the guess the
quote thing is still alive and that I just pick REALLY obscure things as my
quotes.
I just wanted to share with you two pictures that made me laugh heartily
and what if i
do?
hey you,
off my cloud
That's all for now.
8/5/03
Hey Steve!
I just wanna say thanks to tom for buying me the
best thing ever!
8/4/03
Who is this? What's your operating number?
So, I'm experimenting here. I put up two little links there over on
the side that supposedly let you IM me through AOL or Yahoo messengers.
I also have MSN, but don't know how to link it yet. So, try it out if
you want. If they don't work or it gets annoying, I'll take em off.
Otherwise...neato. Anyway, if you know how to link to MSN like that, or
if I did something wrong (aka, I never get back to you)
email
me.
8/3/03
I walk in a Chinese restaurant and can’t get cheese

Well, I’m writing this on 7/3 even though the update wont be posted until
7/4 due to cable modem outage thanks to lil miss thunderstorm. So, since my
local copy of my Webpage is dated 4/28/02, I’m using word now and plan to cut
and paste it when my connection comes back.
So, my weekend was mostly uneventful, Saturday I went over to Mom and Pops for
some BBQ action. My dad got a gas grill from a friend and wanted to test it
out. I must say the burgers were burgerlicious. Then we chatted for a bit
and I got stuck there because Trading Spaces was on. Now I don’t normally
watch this show, but if I’m somewhere where it’s on, I’m stuck. So, yes, I do
like it, but I just don’t watch enough TV to actually watch it regularly.
Anyways, so Sunday I putzed around and then watched
Once Upon a Time in America.
Great film by a great director, Sergio Leone. I admit that it started out a
bit slow, but once it picked up, boy did it pick up. I highly recommend this
film to everyone. Well everyone except that funny lookin guy in the back.
GET OUT OF HERE!!! Freak.
So, after that I sat around and flipped channels, watched VH1s 100 greatest
list shows of all times (you laugh, but it’s only a matter of time.)
Then my neck started hurting. It’s one of those weird things that hurts every
time you turn your head a certain way and for the life of you, you don’t know
why. Well I know why my neck hurts. See, my neck hurts whenever I turn it to
the left. And what’s to the left? LIBERALS AND GODLESS HEATHENS!!! That’s
right! So I’m being punished by our lord and his representative on earth,
G W Bush! Now, I can only turn my
head to the right. And what does right mean? Right means correct! So now my
head is forever turned from the left, from the path of liberalism, and
terrorism ands sin!
Here's the pic of the week. Guess
which one is real!
I think I’m gonna go listen to some
Dave Brockie now.
8/2/03
One, two, Freddy's coming for you! / Three, four, better
lock your door! / Five, six, grab your crucifix! / Seven, eight, better stay
up late! / Nine, ten, never sleep again!
Happy Birthday Wes Craven!!!!
Oh, and you can now view all my DVD's
here.
Neato...
