Remember the television Incredible Hulk series? I watched an episode tonight where David Banner finagled himself a job as an orderly at an insane asylum. Now, you would think that would require background checks before a drifter who mumbles his last name (which always starts with a "B," that way David, a genius with degrees in physics and medical science, won't forget what his last name is supposed to be each week while still remaining "incognito") could get a job with no references or qualifications. Maybe you can work as a mechanic, short order cook, handyman, electrician, grocer, laboratory technician, gardener for an elementary school, boxing trainer, bartender, unlicensed driver, truck loader, nanny, store clerk, sports reporter, oil rigger, janitor, or choker setter without proving your qualifications, but I think it takes a little more to work for a hospital. At least I would hope that it would.

David, David, David. *sigh*

Has it really been so long since I last posted? Seems like forever. Guess I've been busy. You know it is football season.

Dawgs win again. (And I think my picture taking is getting much better.)

In the car the other day it dawned on me that "False Humility" is a redundant statement.

The nailbiting 17-15 victory over Spurrier's South Carolina yesterday was really quite an exciting game. I really enjoy being in a stadium full of fans being put through an emotional wringer.

New this season, Sanford Stadium has a whole new set of electronic boards, including the gigantic screen in the west end zone, as visible above. The screens are cool, yeah, but they are being used almost exclusively for advertising. They even took out the clock so that they could have more advertising room. (No clock in the entire stadium now. That's bullshit.) The information boards are practically useless. Only rarely do they give us stats for the game, replays, or even scores from other games. Instead, they spend all of their time giving us adverts for Coke, SunTrust, Kodak or useless prompts showing us CGI American flags to salute or telling us to "Make Some Noise." Good job, UGA; thanks for spending a fortune on signs that discourage us from looking at them. What a brain trust you have.

Go Dawgs! We crushed the reigning king of the WAC, Boise State, 48-13.

Next week we will give Redskin failure Spurrier his comeuppance! (Oh, yes, we will beat his Cocks!)

The Dawgs kick off tomorrow at 5:30 PM. (I thought that was important enough to make the blog.)

On another note: why the hell is everyone in America endorsing donating money to the Red Cross? Has everyone forgotten the lessons of 911 already? The Red Cross received millions because of that, and then they kept what they wanted and diverted a large portion of donations gifted for 911 victims and New York natives to other causes. Do you think that they money that you are giving the Red Cross to help the New Orleans natives is really ending up there?

I heard on CNN that Diddy, Nick Cage, Celene Dione, Hillary Duff and more are giving millions (that's right, millions: who says that the Gilded Age ended over a century ago?) to the Red Cross. Let those rich bastard throw their money away if they want to, they have enough, but why am I hearing about it? Did their press agents release the news so that I would be motivated to give what I could? (Social pressure from celebrities? Wow!) Or did they just want me to know what great people they were for giving so much to those who have so little?

Maybe I'm really damn cynical, but that doesn't mean that I'm wrong.

I have to leave town for the weekend to take care of the best poodle in history, but before I go, I've stopped to complete the contact page. Now that's dedication! That leaves only the "media/flash" page in need of heavy work. Hopefully I'll get to it next week.

On another note, a friend called this morning to complain that I water down my typically salty language too much on this blog in an attempt to "prevent offending anyone." Gosh darn it, that's just not the frickin' case.

He also thought I should include a disclaimer about the costume pic I included back on the 15th. I think that everyone who knows me knows that isn't my body, but I don't see why I should include a disclaimer when perhaps I can convince others. Everyone has to have an avatar for their porn site BBS postings, right?

A friend emailed me a link to spandexman.com, and I couldn't help playing with some of the pictures there. He's got unitards of all sorts, including Spider-Man and Superman costumes. I wish I could make things like that. All I can do is create digital pictures of things that don't exist. That doesn't exactly feed you in the woods, know what I'm saying?

Damn, I wish I looked that good in a unitard. Spandex Man gets 2 thumbs up.

More site updates. The art pages should be linking now, and I've updated the blog pages to include text from the previous 2 years of Wriphe.com. (Just in case anyone wanted to read my old wisdom; remember: wisdom doesn't get old, just the people who have it do.)

I just returned home from my trip to Canton, Ohio, where Dan "The Greatest Quarterback of All Time" Marino was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame. We were surrounded by thousands of Dolphins fans wearing Marino jerseys. The level of fanaticism was almost creepy.

We drove through Amish country to get there. I was really quite surprised to see that there is still such a high demand for carriage & buggy shops. When you think about it, they are already compliant with President Bush's new energy plan, so maybe they are ahead of the game, not a more than a century behind it. (Vote Amish in 2008! They are no strangers to federal government; look at C. Everrett Koop.)

In fact, the Amish may be one of the last reamining groups that someone can carelessly insult on the internet. They certainly aren't going to find out what you flamed them about.

I had intentionally been ignoring this page because the new site was in the works. But then my mother came to town, and then football season started, and then GTA:San Andreas came out.... I do have my priorities, you know.
