If you can see this then you're in a special circle.

If you can see this then you're in a special circle.

Last August, I went on a week-long trip to Colorado. I went hiking and toured Red Rocks and did lots of fun stuff.

I also took full advantage of legalized weed.

So the reason you're in this circle is because I figure you might be interested in seeing my full write-up about the trip (both stoned and non-stoned) and you'll be discreet about it as well. I know, I know, it's weed, no one cares, but until it's fully legal here in MA, I don't want to be the idiot posting public pictures of himself doing monster bong rips to facebook.

If you're interested in reading up on my weed vacation, drop me a PM and I'll send you the PDF.

The short version of the write-up? I had a fantastic time, I would absolutely go do it again.

Jere Genest you might find this especially interesting.

Bizarre Japanese T-Rex sex condom advert is the weirdest thing you will see all day

So this is NSFW but funny.

Also, it's from Japan.

The Smut Peddler Double Header! by IronSpike — Kickstarter

So if you're looking for quality smut comics, I can recommend these folks. Their new Kickstarter project offers two selections -- an anthology of smutty tales involving monsters and a single long-form piece involving FMM femdom. Their work is always well-illustrated and very well written.

More Than 50 Individuals Charged in Massive Corruption, Fraud And Money Laundering Schemes Operated from inside...

I am...sort of in awe of this entire alleged operation. If it holds up in court though, what will you do? Send them to prison? That seems to have been super-effective in the first place.

This looks like a fun project and there's probably a few gamers out there who might be interested in them.

Attention! Veggie Galaxy in Central Square now makes coconut milkshakes with booze in them. I had a very nice Chocolate/Strawberry/Port milkshake and my companion had the Egg-nog/Sherry/Chai milkshake. Both were delicious.

If they actually find this, I feel they should just name it "Pluto, are you happy now?"

Though I am reminded of the "Nemesis" theory and that'd be a pretty good name too.

I'm convinced that the best superhero movies are the ones that use the B- and C-listers because you can go out on a limb and take chances you're afraid of when dealing with the big names.

And I have a soft-spot for super-villain movies because you get the added bonus that they can still be amoral sociopaths, but it's a redemption story so you never feel conflicted about the mayhem and carnage.

Yeah, yeah, joke all you want about the "research" they're going to do, but at least there appears to be some interest in getting out ahead of this before the ballot initiatives come around.

I think once the senators see all that sweet cash rolling into the coffers, they'll be hard-pressed to say no. I do hope that they also get a sense of the challenges Colorado has faced -- financial services, product quality and safety, and providing spaces for consumption outside of someone's house.

Whelp, today I just put down some money for tattoo design work.

Whelp, today I just put down some money for tattoo design work.

Actual tattooing won't happen for quite some time yet (because of the whole blood thinners thing), but I've been noodling this for years and it's finally time to get that back piece done.

When that needle digs in and I remember why I hate this so much, I'll blame Jess M. :)

OK. This is kind of amazing.

Now that the relevant people have been informed, the relevant steps can be taken.

Apparently I'm still young?
But...don't hate the world, ok? It's pretty great.

Periodic table gains four new superheavy elements

2016 Song Patch

At end of sixth verse, the following supersedes previous lyrics:

And ununtrium, ununpentium, ununseptium and ununoctium.

These are the only ones of which the news has come to Harvard,
And there may be many others but they haven't been discovered.
