Tax Man

Posted on Friday, 10/29/04 by Barry's Imaginary Publisher

It’s official: Belgian customs hate my guts. Having purchased a couple of books from Amazon, I once again have to pay up — 13.42 € this time, which is about half the price of my purchase. The kicker: some 8 € were charged for “administration costs”. Catch 22 anyone? Perhaps next time I should order at amazon UK. Oh, and yes: the Doctor is a big Groucho Marx fan! ;)

Wanna Bun?

Posted on Thursday, 10/28/04 by Barry's Imaginary Publisher

Election Sandwich Specials. “Weapons of ass destruction: Heavily advertise a bean, tabasco, jalapeno wrap. Then, if someone comes in and orders it, tell them that you can’t find the ingredients.”

Later Bush!

Posted on Wednesday, 10/27/04 by Barry's Imaginary Publisher

This just popped up in my Google Ads: Later Bush! — “an open web log you can use to express yourself.” Funny stuff, although some people – Dems and Reps alike – seem to think international capslock day lasts a year.

Vote. Early. Often.

Posted on Tuesday, 10/26/04 by Barry's Imaginary Publisher

Making the switch: stories from people who voted Bush in 2000 and will vote Kerry next Tuesday. Bush, Kerry and brand association. So far 125 US newspapers officially endorse Kerry, including at least 35 that had endorsed Bush in 2000. The New Yorker makes its first political endorsement in 80 years – pro Kerry. Who will you vote for? The Brits for one, are willing to fill you in. (And remember, when in Florida…)

Photoshopping The Wall

The Wall - Photoshopped
What happens when you strip away a movie’s title and replace it with a literal description of what its movie poster looks like?

Exit Zappa Patio

Posted on Tuesday, 10/26/04 by Barry's Imaginary Publisher

BossK has taken the Zappa Patio offline, leaving FZ-fans without the invaluable bootleg discography it provided. Says the editor: “I apologize for taking it offline but it WILL BE BACK” (although no longer maintained by him). (Hat tip: SOFA)

Peer To Peer Heaven

My bittorrent woes have come to a grinding halt by 1) installing Azureus and 2) opening the appropriate ports on my machine. Currently enjoying Neil Young at the NYC Bottom Line, May 16 ’74. Peer to peer heaven!

Great Googly Moogly!

Posted on Saturday, 10/23/04 by Barry's Imaginary Publisher

Being a bit late to the party, I’ve decided to give Google Ads a try on these pages. I settled for a pretty unobtrusive ad-placement (they’re below the “Recent Chatter” box to the right). Does this mean we’re only in it for the money? Well to the degree that, yes, we do have bills to pay and a gentle click every so often from our esteemed readers could help in doing just that (wow, that came out very subtle!). We’ll see how it works out.
Speaking about bills, this morning I went to the post-office to pick up my Barfko-Swill package. Thanks to the Belgian customs services I had to shell out an extra whopping 25.32 € (!!) just to get my sweaty hands on it. Got home and started listening to “Joe’s Domage“. It’s still playing but, from what I’ve heard so far, it ain’t half as bad as some had made it out to be! Stay tuned…
