FFA II – Electric Boogaloo

Posted by Loki in Fantasy on March 9, 2010

Warning: any comments in this FFA that follow a cohesive pattern or structure will be deleted. I’m recently single and the dating pool has never looked shallower. Is this going to be a crazy spring or what? I predict that you will all either be pregnant or married by May. And not by me. I’m just saying….

Yes, we know it sucks. Yes, it is annoying to get 140 character status updates every 30 seconds. But you should know we don’t update the site every 30 seconds and when we post drivel here it is only the highest quality. So follow us, become a legion of mindless drones hell bent on self destruction and drooling voyeurism. Or just have something to do on your phone while you wait in line at the store.

Dogs are nonflammable…. or is it inflammable?

Kodiak Passed Out

I love my dog. He’s almost 14 years old. He’s was born in Charlottesville, while I’ve only been here about six years. He’s also a total jerk. He does things like beg to go outside at 3AM, then run to the top of the hill, turn around to look at me and bark his face off. He knows I won’t run up the hill after him, so he just bounces around going apeshit, and wakes up the neighbors. Really, he’s great.

Charlottesville Derby Dames – Snow Brawl!

Charlottesville Derby Dames - Snow Brawl!

Ok. It’s time to stump for another awesome local event. Coming from a similar vein as CLAW (Charlottesville Lady Arm Wrestlers), we’ve got another group that’s mixing some of my favorite things: Sex, Violence, Booze, and Charity. If you guys haven’t been to one of these events, you really are missing out. As an extreme example of how great this can be, there is a ‘danger zone’ right up next to the track; basically operating with the same idea as the ’splash zone’ at a Gallagher show. Except, instead of being splattered with exploded watermelon… you’ll probably be hit by a flying mass of knees, elbows, and metal. Bad ass, right?

Tour story – near death in Western PA

Posted by Loki in Reckless Irresponsibility on March 4, 2010

the van
Years ago I was in a band. We toured a handful of times up and down the east coast, put out a few CDs, and had a grand old time. The only time I ever thought for sure that we might disappear and never be seen again was outside of Pittsburgh in 2001 (the week before 9/11).

I had booked us a show in a small town outside of Pittsburgh, PA. It seemed like a cool idea – an all ages venue on one side and a music store on the other. I also heard of a few other bands we were friendly with who had played there. The venue didn’t have a very functioning website (usually a dealbreaker for us at the time) but based on the other info I had about the place I decided to call and book us a show for our tour. [as an aside - the website for the venue is still up and hasn't changed since 1999]

B’Yo craigslist free for all… Pt III

Posted by belmont yo in Craigslist fun on March 3, 2010

Novice CL kidnapper/stalker/creep seeks extremely patient victim.
____________________
Seeing as my life has gotten into a bit of a routine of late, I thought I might shake things up and try some new things socially. And what better place to shake things up than on good old craigslist personals? What better place indeed. As I have been doing my dutiful research for this new endeavor, it has occurred to me that only two types of folks seem to permeate this forgotten little corner of the internet. There are the porn site / traps / blackmail schemes on the women’s side, and the men of dubious character and intent on the other. Yes, I realize that there await blowjobs a’ plenty over in m4m, and the occasional grad student “looking to explore” over in w4w, but seeing as I was born with external genitalia, specifically of the nature that is aroused by folks of the opposite sex, those two segments of this lovely population are of rather little use to me. Interesting, and oft very amusing, to be true but of very little utility. Well, I dont run a porn, or any internet site for that matter, so posing as a nubile young sybarite looking for NSA fun from older overweight hairy men will do me no good. I am sure that by now you can see this leaves me with only one remaining option – stalker creepy guy of dubious intent. In life this would not be my first choice for a variety of reasons, but as they say, the only is the only, so soldier on I will and must.

The trouble with being shunted into this central casting character type, is that I find myself woefully unprepared. And this, dear potential victims, is the understatement of the year. Allow me to elucidate.
