CROWPSEY / RUFUS & CLEVELAND HITS COMIC SHOPS

Today is the day. If you want one, here is your opportunity to get down to your local comic shop and pick up a copy of an awesome new book fresh from the distributor. True, you already could have bought a copy through terminalpress.com, or even from the Barnes and Noble website, but you're the type of person who buys comics from the comic shops. I can respect that as well.

If your local shop doesn't have a copy on it shelves tomorrow, kick the shop owner in the balls and ask them why. Get it on video. That would be awesome.

I don't condone kicking comic shop owners who do not support independent comics in the balls.

RATROACHEON

Some of you may have heard of Turducken and possibly had one of these delicious miracles of modern science for Thanksgiving. In the same spirit, I have created Ratroacheon (a Rat shoved up a Roach inside a Pigeon) to celebrate the launch of the Xbox 360. To exemplify the utter disappointment, anger, violence and greed created by the manufacturer, retailers and general public, I propose the Ratroachen is recognized as the official meal of the now infamous holiday. Just like other holidays, many people who observe were absent from work or school on the occasion, got sick to their stomachs, were forced to gather with unpleasant people they rarely see, and swear they will never put themselves through a similar ordeal again, until the next one comes around.
Halloween has candy, Thanksgiving has turkey, Hanukkah has gahagaflagh and the Xbox 360 console launch now has Ratroacheon.

GOD WARRIOR

Up for auction on eBay is a custom-made bobblehead doll of Marguerite Perrin, the GOD WARRIOR Crazy mom from the latest episode of Fox's Trading Spouses.

This talking doll spouts the following lines:

~ I don't want someone with tainted... anything in beliefs, doing anything with my family!
~ Darksided!
~ Their entire house is darksided too!
~ Everything's un-Godly!
~ Gargoyles!... Psychics!
~ Get the hell out of my house- in Jesus' name I pray!
~ GET OUT!
~ I give it up to God I'm a GOD WARRIOR!
~ She's not a CHRISTIAN!
~ She was tampering in darksided stuff!
~ This is tainted- I don't want it. Whatever it is, it's tainted!
~ I want nothing. I want my God and I want my family!
~ I want NO Money!

I wonder what Britney's deformed nipples think about this...

THE LEAK

The new albums from Fort Minor and System of a Down are available for streaming on the leak for the next 5 days.

Mario Kart DS is great so far. Getting the WiFi up and running was a pain in the ass and the Nintendo WiFi network is already down on its first full day of use. Guess the big "N" didn't expect us to really want to go online. It's crazy that this is their first official online title on any Nintendo platform. Way to stay ahead of the curve!

Here is some info that will only apply to such a small fraction of people that it is probably a waste of time for you to read, but may help a single person, therefore justifying the posting.
If you have a Dlink DI-614+ or the DI-514 and get error message 51300 when trying to connect to Nintendo WiFi - Go into your router, click on the Advanced tab at the top and when the page loads click on "Performance" to the right. Change the options "Basic Rates" and "TX Rates" to 1-2 Mbps. Your problem should be solved. Game on.

HOT NUDE CELEB! (NSFW)

Celebrity fixation makes me sick. The attention paid to celebrities who are famous for being famous like Paris Cumdumpster and the Gotti morons could be better spent watching mold grow. Time-lapse footage of mold growing is actually quite entertaining.

Have you ever seen that time-lapse footage of the decaying fox? They show it a lot, along with the molding bowl of fruit in like music videos and nature shows. Good stuff.

Not as good as that whole "residents over 21 years old could possess up to an ounce of marijuana" vote in Denver earlier this month. Too bad authorities decided state possession laws will be applied instead. That's a bunch of bullshit. 54 percent, or 56,001 voters, cast ballots for the ordinance, while 46 percent, or 48,632 voters, voted against it. See, your vote does not count. Despite what you are told, your vote does not count. Maybe we'll get em' next time.

PANDORA

Enter your favorite artist and Pandora creates a playlist of music that is eerily and accurately similar. Sound quality is great and it runs inside your browser, plus, it's free.

This whole Xbox 360 shortage stuff sucks. Kameo is already out and supposedly in short supply. So you can go plunk down some cash for a game right now and end up with no system at launch (even with a pre-order) or you can end up with a system at launch if you're lucky, but have no game to play because you didn't pre-order one or pick it up 2 weeks prior to launch. Buttmunchkins! I'm so pissed, I'm typing lame gibberish obscenities!

I wonder if people are going to get mugged on the way to their cars on launch day. I wouldn't be surprised. That's why I'm bringing my 9mm. I'll shoot a motherfucker.

NIPS (NSFW)

Some new features -
Post comments, Email posts, RSS Feed and my Xbox Live Gamercard.
Also, those post titles are clickable links, just like on the old site.

I'm still refining the new look so feel free to leave comments or suggestions, because I will actually use them to try and improve this site further while I'm at it. On to some news...

Music may one day be very close to a woman's chest, with BT futurology which manufactures computer chips that store music, creating a MP3 player that can be implanted into a woman's breasts.

Is that for the man or the woman? That's gonna go great with the HDTV belly button and vaginal subwoofer.

PICK UP HOT CHICKS

Next time you're out at the bar trying to pick up some drunk secretary, give this line a whirl -

You: Okay I have to be honest with you. I think you have a nice smile, but I find your hair funny.
Her: What do you mean?
You: Well, it kind of looks like a mullet!
Her: You’re kidding right?
You: Yes, I am.

Damn! Wouldn't that be smooth!? She would think you were so clever and charming. Women love witty men. Especially drunk women.

I always score with this line -

Me: I'm a super-cool comic book writing heavy metal Brazilian Jiu Jitsu master.
Her: Wow! I have every video game system and no teeth!
Me: Your neck muscles look strong.
Her: I don't have a gag reflex!
Me: Did you know there was a House Party 4 and Kid N' Play weren't even in it?
Her: Lets go back to my place. I live on a rocket ship. You'll need to be deloused.

You're welcome.

IT MUST DIE IN ORDER TO BE REBORN

I've been wanting to re-launch FinalPlanet.net for a while now.
I started this site back in 2001, before there was such a thing as blogging. I had to fuck up a bunch of web pages and search the bowels of the internet to figure out how to make one of these "web pages." We were working on an animated movie and wanted some place for our ideas to converge. Time passed and now we make comic books instead and FinalPlanet.net is standing around like the awkward ninja with a sharp rock tied to a stick at a school dance. We are awesome like a ninja, not using the best weaponry available to us and out of place in our current environment. I want people to have the ability to leave comments! I want to streamline our interface! I want our site to be more efficient and twice as deadly!
Well, it's going to take some work, but I am going to take a stab at it. If it works out, things will be awesomely different very soon.
