Washington DC City Council radically alters baseball deal

Check out the expression on Jack Evans when Linda Cropp pretty much guaranteed that Baseball would never come to DC again. Gee, thanks, Linda...



If I were Linda Cropp, and I'm not, I wouldn't want to be walking down any dark alleys in the near future. I'd say her political future is in jeapordy.

Well, it had to happen some time...

Typical LOTR Geekboy fantasies...

" I wanted to see the horse
chick and the elf chick duke it out over Aragorn...

.. then they discovered
they really liked each other..."

"Or the Eowyn/Arwen shower
scene???"

"And..and.. the fight scene
takes place in the mud... or in some sort of Middle Earth
Jello....yeahhhhhhhh"

Fairly typical stuff. isn't it comforting to note that America's softcore porn industry is always there to pick up a challenge?

Enter:

You Knew it had to happen, didn't you? You can't be in the least way SURPRISED...

I've seen this thing. It's very hard to make out unless you are in the upper galleries of the National Cathedral. Check out the story from the Cathedral website (in PDF)

The new Fictional Reality is out. FR is a great little gratis pub on miniatures and roleplaying, published in PDF and free for the download. People like the staff of FR are my heroes. Anyone who works on a labor of love (for little reward, presumably) and allows the world to skeeve it up after has strode another step down that karmic path to godhead, in my opinion.

1) The Whole Magilla
2) The RPG section
3) The Miniatures Games section

I couldn't get the HELLO service that Blogger recommends to work on my computer, so I did a search on "free photo hosting" and found quite a few things on the net. I settled for Village Photos, which is currently hosting that grainy "Oatmeal" photo of your humble correspondent on my profile page here (note bene, Blogger.com doesn't host photos but you can link to them from elsewhere). VillagePhotos is free (like many free services you can get expanded service for a fee), for up to 10MB of storage. Signing up is not a hassle, and they don't deluge you with emails. This is primarily an Ebay service thing, but I found it handy enough to post some FALL-IN pictures (below). Not bad at all.

I just finished the CURSE OF CHALION on the train ride in today. True to what I have heard, it's a great read-- that Bujold is one heck of a writer, for a woman, that is.. (sorry, couldn't help but guffaw at Tom Jensen's concept of what defines a decent SF writer posted on Consimworld recently). I hear there is/was a sequel in this universe. I'll go online to the FCPL system today and try to find it. I have to admit, I've not been all that enthralled by Miles Vorsikian but I'm willing to give it another go after reading the Challion book.

FYI: A Dictionary of Things Chalon. hosted on...



Which has all kinds of fun things on it for LMB fans, including a map of the Ibran Penninsula:

The Speeding Outhouse

You can’t actually go in this jet-powered port-a-potty, but you can go pretty quick
By Jeff Wise
Nik Schulz/L-Dopa




Dept.: You Built What?!
Tech: Homemade jet power
Cost: $10,000
Time: 10 days
Practical Popcorn

Some folks like to take their time on the can. Not Paul Stender. When the 43-year-old former pit mechanic feels the need for speed, he straps himself into his jet-engine-equipped toilet and roars off, trailing flame. Stender was running superfast snowmobiles on the drag-racing circuit when he saw his first jet-driven funny car. He liked it so much he bought one, and started building his own outlandishly overpowered vehicles: a jet motorcycle, a jet pickup, a jet school bus. Then one day at a show in Texas, he saw a windstorm blow portable toilets across the tarmac, and it was Newton’s apple all over again. Powered by a 50-year-old, 750-pound Boeing jet turbine that Stender bought for $5,000, the “Port-O-Jet” can top 46 mph with a tailwind. “It’s not real aerodynamic,” he allows. That said, he’s beaten buddy Tim Arfons’s jet barstool two of the four times they’ve raced [see the barstool at turbinegroup.com]. During his shows at drag strips, arenas and airports across the country, Stender runs the outhouse up and down in front of the crowd, popping the burner and shooting out 30-foot fireballs before making a final high-speed run. (A burner pop happens when Stender hits the afterburner switch while the engine is running at high rpm’s—it dumps volatile JP-8 fuel into the rear burner pipe, which burns quickly, causing a loud explosion. If the engine is running at low rpm’s, hitting the switch sends out a long, loose, yellow fireball.) On Stender’s blackboard is a jet-powered beer truck with a 24,000-horsepower F-16 engine. His advice to wannabe jet-engine hobbyists: Be careful. “So many things can go wrong,” he says. “You suck in a piece of garbage, it’s going to explode—and you’re going to go with it.”

INSIDE THE TURBO-LOO

Dimensions: Seven-and-a-half feet tall, four feet wide, four feet deep

Weight: About 600 pounds

A. Shell is a Country Classic portable toilet from the Hampel Corporation of Germantown, Wisconsin. “It’s heavy and looks like fake wood,” Stender says, “like an outhouse should.”

B. Welded scrap metal tubing reinforces the chassis.

C. Driver sits on the original throne and looks out through a hole in the door. (Stender tried to keep the toilet paper, but it kept getting sucked into the engine.)

D. Handle bar—with lever for the rear hydraulic brakes and twist throttle for acceleration—is attached to a shaft that connects directly to the wheel spindles.

E. Six-inch rubber Goodyear tires are from a go-kart.

F. Four-gallon tank attached to a CO2 cartridge holds pressurized JP-8 fuel for the afterburner.

G. Twelve-gallon tank holds JP-4 fuel for the engine (funneled in through the original urinal).

H. The muscle: Stender cut the back half off an old Boeing 502 turbine (which once powered a pump on a Navy minesweeper) and welded a cone on the back to channel what he guesses is a few hundred pounds of thrust.

JET ENGINES 101A jet turbine uses many thin blades whirling at high speeds to compress incoming air, which is burned with highly combustible jet fuel in a central combustion area. Another set of blades in the rear extracts power from the hot gases emerging from the chamber. Some turbines use those rear blades to send power to a drive unit through an output shaft, and vent the hot gases as exhaust. Stender removed the drive unit so that the hot gases instead funnel through a tail cone to generate thrust. At full power, these thin blades can be moving at supersonic speeds. If the engine sucks in something large enough to break one of them, a catastrophic chain reaction of disintegration can follow

Startup Message BEGINS

Hello, all...

For the past year or so, I've been blogging on Xanga.com, a free service that was set up primarily to do reviews of movies, books and CDs, and it sort of migrated to doing the fullscale blog thing. I've enjoyed Xanga over the past year, but I'm beginning to find some limitations with their format.. they have very limited editing facilities, and I often lose posts. So I am migrating about the last couple of weeks of posts from Xanga to here this week, in hopes of doing a fullscale migration. I used to have a Blog on Blogger.com, and didn't like it then. Lately, however, blogger has been impressing me, so I am back, kids! This time as mrnizz, not as hotspur.
