There will be no random videos of young children singing "candy man" here at the fainting goats. Especially if it implies I am somehow involved.
Bottom line, no videos with one line of text unless you are me. Sorry.

Please -- keep it somewhat real my friend, like the post below.
You heard me, step right up by the half-dozens!
The winner of the contest is the first person to send me a valid Gmail address. And by that I mean I send you an email at that address and you respond. Just think, your pseudonym could be up there on the contributors list right next to such illuminaries as myself and TMoney.
So quick both of you, get your entries in so I can delete the one post you ever make!
Bonus question:
You don't get it? Well fuck you, it's
I had an epiphany of sorts tonight for content here.
Blame the whiskey. Plus, the total hack job I did on a couple stories for this weekends paper (bird watchers + global warming = ruby-throated fart bird), and the realization that my employers are USING me to drive their corporation into the toilet.
To sum it up, I'm gonna rip off Simmons' thing where he uses quotes from movies to hand out awards. Except not limit myself to movies. Coming monthly(?) for baseball, maybe even for the NBA season/draft if I get sober and inspired.
I got a few other ideas as well, mostly involving stealing pictures off the wire. LATER
Top 10 drinking games to be concluded Wednesday afternoon/evening, probably. Shut up Denevi. I have been deliberating feverishly over the past few days on the final order.
This is really hard!
But anyway heres a couple random things to tide you over.
First a quote that I've been thinking on during the past couple days:
"You have the emergence in human society
of this thing that's called the State
What is the State? The State is this organized bureaucracy
It is the PO-lice department. It is the Army, the Navy
It is the prison system, the courts, and what have you
This is the State -- it is a repressive organization
But the state -- and gee, well, you know,
you've got to have the police, cause...
if there were no police, look at what you'd be doing to
yourselves!
You'd be killing each other if there were no police!
But the reality is...
the police become necessary in human society
only at that junction in human society
where it is split between those who have and those who ain't
got"

And here's the music video for Wolfmother's "White Unicorn"
Damn dirty hippies.
This post was delayed unfortunately, I started it on New Years Eve Day, but decided it would be a better idea to be on no less than 5 drugs at the same time. Took a little while to recover. At least now I have some more resolutions that could actually come true, besides "don't ever go back to Vegas"

So if your not stuck in 2006 like French protesters, here's some crap for your general edification in the new year.
Four out of five Fainting Goats agree, these 5 pieces of (old-fashioned) media are worth checking out. I saw them all in 2006, so there's your poorly conceived connection with new years. Enjoy.
5. Hells Angels by Hunter S. Thompson. This strange and terrible saga from the doctor of gonzo journalism put him on the map. Worth reading, especially if you enjoy the good doctor's work.
4. Brick. Out on DVD right now, I might even let you borrow it. Here's the tagline: A teenage loner pushes his way into the underworld of a high school crime ring to investigate the disappearance of his ex-girlfriend. Its even more awesome than it sounds.
3. Layer Cake. You know that guy who is the new James Bond? Yeah this is better than anything he'll do as 007. Its also on DVD -- and Encore just about everyday. Plus it has yayo.
2. The Daily Local News. Just kidding.
1. The Wire. Ground-breaking. Genius. Shakespearean? My shitty adjectives cannot do this show justice. Somebody please fucking watch this so I can talk to you about it. Seriously.
Thats it kids. I'll be updating this BS periodically, just to keep it from becoming one of the so-called 200 million abandoned blogs. Maybe I'll even put up a review of Children of Men after I see it. And drunken belligerence.
