I think that pretty much sums up what I like to call the "Toshi Station Experience".

El Pega De Jar Jar
This could very well be the most informative Star Wars-type article I have ever read: http://www.landoverbaptist.org/news0899/jar.html

The evidence is indeed overwhelming. If I had one of those puppies I'd never have to leave the house...

You need schooolin'...
At long last your Prof. Silky has added a new row to that Periodic Table o' Funk (far right side, young Grasshopper).

CHiPs - ep 614 Country Action
Watched what was perhaps the worst episode of CHiPs I have ever beheld. It was like a wicked car accident I couldn't stop myself from staring at... On top of atrocious scripting and bad storyline (with no subplot to speak of), this episode featured three of my least favorite things:

  • Jon's sixth season replacement Bobby "Hot Dog" Nelson.
  • Orangutan as both central character and comic relief.
  • Country music (including the hit "Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys" not once, but twice).

Spending Spare Time Down on San Pablo Ave...
Say Chris, what does a man of action, a man addicted to danger, a rugged woodsman such as yourself do in his spare time, you ask? Scope the brand-spankin' new Point o' View.

Nee Jawa no badda
As those of you hip to the Station Vacation scene will know, I had been planning on writing a scathing editorial regarding the controversy surrounding one Hal Wamsley. Echo Station has, however, beaten me to the punch (and prolly did it better to boot). Check it out right cheer.

Die Toten Hosen.com
Dug threw a couple months-worth of the keywords folks have been using on the search engines to find this site. Some of the results were both mysterious and amusing:

caliber-babe
death touch
disco lando
resin
madhuri
telechargement
everybody was kung fu fighting
chest hair
gwyneth paltrow must die
ophelia
dying to go home
kermy
die toten hosen
dark side of the web
star trek nudes
manipulation
symnacki
the big one
replaceme

Is there actually a demand for star trek nudes? Say it ain't so...

Updated the mighty POV page with some heavy Sagan-esque Mojo*.

CHiPs - ep 502 Vagabonds
Classic episode this morning. Guest starred Ed 'The Abyss' Harris, who played head of a family of insurance scammers. Also involved an edge o' the seat "speed-mobile" race (one of those high-speed bicycles). Highlight of the show was the soundtrack for the race - went on forever - just glorious.

URP Pt.2
Judgin' by the email I got regarding this section I'm thinking I wasn't very clear in explaining how this new page fits into The Grand Scheme. Here is how it is goin' down: the old news page we all knew and loved is gone. I am sure many of you felt the great disturbance in the Force when I took 'er down. Site updates will now be posted here (along with other geek ramblings). The links to the Old Station Entrances now reside in the Archive section of the site. Any other links that were accessible off the dearly departed news page have been slapped on the main page (currently in text form until I get off my butt and make some buttons for 'em). Easy peasy, Japanesey.

Added Use Robot Punch to the Toshi Station line-up. The Master Plan is to update this baby purt-near every other day or so with changes that have been made to the site or whatever other mindlessness I can come up with (heavy on the mindlessness)... My apologies to those who are just lookin' to score site updates and are forced to wade through the drivel that will be posted here. You'll just have to suck it up, bub.
