I am the result of 13.75 ± 0.13 billion years of random chance. Now that I exist I see no reason to start planning and organizing everything in my life.

Random dumb luck got me here, random dumb luck will get me to where I'm going.

Hail Eris!

I noticed a possible BIP reference in the clip of Step Up.

He looks a lot like a friend of mine from Grade 5, only with a mustache.
My shit list: Stephen Harper, anarchists that complain about taxes instead of institutionalized torture, those people walking, anyone who lets a single aspect of themselves define their entire personality, salesmen that don't smoke pipes, Fredericton New Brunswick, bigots, philosophy majors, my nemesis, pirates that don't do anything, criminals without class, sociopaths, narcissists, furries, juggalos, foes.

Not weird enough. They need to try harder.

What constitutes 'weird enough'?

The lyrics to Gates of Steel sound to me like a summary of the whole Black Iron Prison idea.

Quotetwist away the gates of steel
unlock the secret voice
give in to ancient noise
take a chance a brand new dance
twist away the gates of steel

twist away
now twist and shout
the earth it moves too slow
but the earth is all we know
we pay to play the human way
twist away the gates of steel

a man is real
not made of steel

but the earth is all we know
we pay to play the human way
twist away the gates of steel

the beginning was the end
of everything now
the ape regards his tail
he's stuck on it
repeats until he fails
half a goon and half a god
a man's not made of steel

twist away
now twist and shout
the earth it moves too slow
but the earth is all we know
we pay to play the human way
twist away the gates of steel

a man is real that's how he feels

I can't really define it, but I know it when I see it?  :?

This guy (Reggie Watts) opened for Devo in Seattle last year, it was great to watch the people who brought their kids squirm while he was on stage, link posted for your amusement, strong language...

That's totally what I thought, the first time I heard it.


I am not "full of hate" as if I were some passive container. I am a generator of hate, and my rage is a renewable resource, like sunshine.

There's a video for Watch Us Work It, too, but by this point that's kind of old news.

Isn't Devo itself old news?  No disrespect to Devo.

Sure, Devo's old news. Older than me at least. I'm still happy they're making a new album that sounds like it'll be pretty good.
