The photographer from Red Eye was here this morning so I thought I’d take advantage of having put on my pretty floral dress and make-up. Surf naar insanefilms.com to see it.
How Tazers Work
HOW DOES AN ADVANCED TASER WORK? Upon firing, compressed nitrogen projects two ADVANCED TASER probes 15 feet at a speed of 135 feet per second. An electrical signal transmits throughout the region where the probes make contact with the body or clothing. The result is an instant loss of the attacker’s neuromuscular control and any ability to perform coordinated action. ADVANCED TASER uses an automatic timing mechanism to apply the electric charge. The ADVANCED TASER releases an electric current in a pre-set time sequence (an initial seven seconds followed by several 1.8 second breaks for a total time of about 30 seconds in each cycle). This cycle ensures that the nervous system of the target does not recover instantly to allow him to remove the probes. The follow-on bursts disrupt the process of re-equilibration of the nervous system. While the target is disabled, the user can place the device on the ground and escape.
From the same web page, is this not a false statement?
“More importantly, no deaths have ever been directly attributed to the TASER .”
Transition
I’m moving the site to podshow’s servers this weekend. Thinks will look a little goofy for a few days. Deal.
UPDATE: As of Sunday evening, I’m done moving and just wating for the DNS to propagate. Special thanks to Dave of ChubCreek for creating some lovely header graphics for me at the last minute!
I just got my Sirius Radio turday.
Ironically, the first song that played when I got activated was Amy Grant, but I quickly discovered two AMAZING channels:
Area63
and
Faction
Wow! Sorry but their programming puts most of the music shows I’ve heard in the podosphere to shame. This is NOT the radio we are accustomed to here in the U.S.
You probably think I’m just plugging Sirius, but there is no requirement for me to do so. I actually had deleted this post and re-entered it because I thought people would think I’m sellling out.
Well- let me tell you something: Selling out is what I’ve been doing for the past 15 years of my career, doing bullshit that deep down I didn’t want to do. Right now I’m BUYING BACK!
Thanks, Jeremy!

Chicago people,
Save Saturday, June 18 in the evening. I’m going to invite you to a party where I will be performing!
Thank You, Microsoft!
Last week we asked you to contact Microsoft Corporation and tell them to reinstate their support for workplace fairness legislation in Washington State. You took action – and today, Microsoft has decided to renew its public support for both federal and Washington State legislation prohibiting workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender expression.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer commented in an email to Microsoft employees “…I’ve concluded that diversity in the workplace is such an important issue for our business that it should be included in our legislative agenda. Since our beginning nearly 30 years ago, Microsoft has had a strong business interest in recruiting and retaining the best and brightest and most diverse workforce possible. I’m proud of Microsoft’s commitment to non-discrimination in our internal policies and benefits, but our policies can’t cover the range of housing, education, financial and similar services that our people and their partners and families need. Therefore, it’s appropriate for the company to support legislation that will promote and protect diversity in the workplace.”
Microsoft has a track record of strong support for fairness in the workplace and recently added gender identity and expression to its own corporate non-discrimination policy. For more on Microsoft and other corporate leaders GLBT policies please see HRC’s Corporate Equality Index at: http://tinyurl.com/6oqvv.
Thank you for your quick action and for making a difference!
Sincerely,
Joe Solmonese
President

Does Paris Hilton not know everyone is making fun of her? Or does she just not care?
Maybe a little of both, especially after “House of Wax” producer Joel Silver printed up “See Paris Die” T-shirts.
“At first, I wasn’t too keen on the idea, but, um, whatever,” the 24-year-old heiress tells The Post.
“I can laugh at myself.”
If that’s the case, Paris will have plenty to chuckle over in “Wax.”
There’s even a scene shot in greenish night-vision, just like the most memorable scenes in her notorious sex tape, “One Night in Paris.”
Director Jaume Serra insists that Paris was in on the joke – “she’s a cool girl,” he says – but the reality is a little more complicated.
Did you know the night vision scene was alluding to the sex tape?
I didn’t see the movie until two days ago. I didn’t even know they were doing that, but, whatever. I didn’t mind.
Do you think people are mean to you?
Yeah. But, whatever. I don’t mind.

Cuntpetetive Eating
Cuntpetetive eater Grizelda is gearing up for a fried asparagus food eating cunttest! Wish her luck!
Shishaldin: April 2005 Archives
I just got an email about a deep fried asparagus competitive eating contest in CA and a sweet corn competition in Florida. I think I could do the sweet corn but it’s at the end of this month. I’ve been perfecting my eaters “shake” in order to get the air out of my stomach.
