Nate's Shower Thoughts (9/30/08)
A bit of a brain teaser here.
Consider the syllable count of each letter in the standard alphabet.
1) How many recitations of the alphabet would you complete before you reached 100 syllables?
2) What letter would represent your 100th syllable?
3) Same questions as 1 and 2, only now solve for 200 syllables.
For extra credit, show your work.

Sons of Anarchy
It is okay.
I do not mind the show that much. I have recorded the episodes and have so far only watched the pilot. I like Katey Sagal being a bitch and a bad ass. I do however fall in the trap of thinking about Hellboy everytime Ron Perlman speaks. Have you guys watched this show?
Also anyone checked out the DVD release of Friday the 13th the series or The new Hell in a Cell DVD (which may not have been released yet)
On a side note-- I have found myself not watching wrestling anymore. I find it boring! Am I missing something? Should I watch?

HBO's Preacher series not happening
I just ran across this from a week ago:
Mark Steven Johnson, who brought Daredevil and Ghost Rider to the big screen, told The Continuum that his attempts to bring Garth Ennis' Preacher to HBO as a series were close but ultimately unsuccessful.
"We were budgeting and everything and it was getting really close to going," Johnson told The Continuum. "But the new head of HBO felt it was just too dark and too violent and too controversial. Which, of course, is kind of the point!
"It was a very faithful adaptation of the first few books, nearly word for word. They offered me the chance to redevelop it but I refused. I've learned my lesson on that front and I won't do it again. So I'm afraid it's dead at HBO."
Johnson goes on to say that rumor is someone is looking to pick up the option for a Preacher movie, but I'm pretty sure that rumor floats for everything ever written, so take that for what it's worth.
I did have high hopes, based on "the Sopranos" and "Deadwood" as well as other HBO original programming, for a Preacher series that would be true to the original material. I often find that comic book-based movies are never as good as the source, so I'm not all that hyped for a Preacher movie. It's gonna take someone with Vincent K. McMahon's grapfruit-sized balls to make a movie that keeps the original ending to Preacher intact. Given the nature of the Preacher story, a long-running serial presentation of the material would allow the outrage over the blasphemous tale to wear itself out long before the shocking finale, but the one-off nature of the movie would encapsulate everything in such a short span that anyone signing off on this would have to be willing to dodge a lot of outcry, boycott threats, and otherwise negative attention.

College Foo-baw's Upset Weekend
I don't really even know why anyone discusses College Football with an eye towards prognostication. At SGM we're probably 5 for 20 in terms of predicting what has actually come close to happening. My first National Championship game predicition was Ohio State vs. the Big XII champion, whoever that turns out to be. Then the Buckeyes were demolished on Live National Tee-vee by USC and it became clear that USC was the team to beat. And then Oregon State decided that they were just the team to do that.
Watching USC fall apart against inferior conference opposition for the third straight year warms my heart. Granted, I was among the many who felt USC was a top-tier team in the aftermath of the Ohio State beatdown, but my preseason view on USC was that they were "poised for a very entertaining downswing" so I think that's breakeven for me. It's pretty easy to see that USC is more-or-less out of the National Title picture with that loss; their remaining schedule is a whole lot of nothing and Notre Dame may or may not be a top 25 team when they meet. My prediction here is that USC runs the rest of the table and weasels their way back into the National Title picture, angering me to no end.
On top of that, Florida shit the bed against Ole Miss. Their defense failed pretty spectacularly, which was my preseason concern for Florida, but the return of Percy Harvin has bolstered their running game, which was the developing concern. If Florida's defense can tighten up and allow the Gators to finish the season without any further blemishes, they'll find themselves fighting either Alabama or LSU for the SEC title and a possible National Title shot.
Oklahoma trucked right through TCU, a solid non-conference opponent that was ranked in the top 25. So far, Oklahoma isn't having any of the problems I thought they might with a true-sophomore QB. TCU loaded the box and dared the Sooners to throw and Oklahoma obliged to the tune of 411 yards and 35 points. The Sooners' path to the National Title runs through Texas, Kansas, and probably Missouri in the Big XII Championship Game. Not an easy road.
So there were the three teams I felt were the best in the nation and only one is still able to make that claim. I expected Oklahoma to take the #1 spot in today's polls, followed by Texas, Missouri, Alabama, Penn State, and LSU in that order.
Apparently I had not noticed that the SEC Blowjob had progressed from ball-sucking to shaft-working, as Alabama leap-frogged Texas, Missouri, and LSU in the AP to take #2 while only jumping LSU in the Coaches' Poll to take the #4 spot. Never mind that Georgia was clearly overrated (and remains overrated as 11th and 10th in the AP and Coaches', respectively) and expected those Black Jerseys to work much like the Venom-suit and win the ballgame for them. Never mind that Clemson clearly doesn't have the talent on the field to overcome the idiocy on the sidelines (Fire. Tommy. Bowden. It's that simple). Never mind that Alabama struggled to beat Tulane earlier this season (you don't hear much about that). And how does LSU hold position after giving up 24 points to a godawful Mississippi State team?
Granted, all of that is largely irrelevant because the paths of five of those teams intersect either in the regular season and/or probably in conference championship games, but the infinite reverence for the SEC often borders on the absurd. This Alabama team is largely the same team that started strong last year before melting down spectacularly in the last six weeks of the season. At the same time, these Texas and Missouri teams are largely the same teams that started and finished strong last year.
But throughout the rest of the season close shaves by Alabama and LSU will be poo-pooed as coming against "tough in-conference competition" regardless of the SEC having a lot of one-dimensional teams this year. Take Auburn for example; they have a great defense but an atrocious offense. At the same time, Penn State, which is having a spectacular year, is going to be criticized if they don't drop the hammer on Wisconsin and Ohio State and an undefeated Penn State is likely to be the odd-team out if the Big XII and SEC both contribute undefeated teams.
Highlights of the weekend: USC goes down in flames; North Carolina's comeback against Miami (TARHEELS, BABY!); the finish of the Michigan-Wisconsin game.
Lowlights: Clemson falling to Maryland and Wake Forest losing to Navy, for fuck's sake the ACC is just pathetic; the UT-Auburn game was horrible and Jonathan Crompton is a terrible quarterback.
Top Ten:
1. Oklahoma
2. Texas
3. Missouri
4. Alabama
5. Penn State
6. BYU
7. Texas Tech
8. LSU
9. South Florida
10. Florida

"100 Hulks?"
(I can't imagine how much green ink was used for this project ...)
"Marvel Comics has generously donated 100 blank-covered cardstock copies of the new "Hulk" #1 to The Hero Initiative. The call went out to create a new, Hulk-centric 'Ultimate 100,' and dozens of artists put pen to paper. Those involved include well-known Hulk vets such as Sal Buscema, Mike Deodato Jr., Ron Garney, Ed McGuinness, Don Perlin, Herb Trimpe, Ron Wilson, and more. In addition, Marvel superstars such as J. Scott Campbell, John Cassaday, Frank Cho, David Finch, Joe Quesada and John Romita Sr. stepped up to add their own take on ol’ Greenskin."

Science Gone Mad: Audio eXchange
Doing something a little different in this installment; are you all up for a little comparative analysis?
I picked up a copy of the new Everlast LP - "Love, War & The Ghost of Whitey Ford."
Being a fan of Everlast since his Ice-T days, and being a big House of Pain mark, I had been pretty pleasantly impressed with his solo joints so far. Based on that, and his La Coka Nostra work recently. I guess I expected more than what I got.
But I come not to praise Caesar; my agenda is completely different. Nope, I wanted to discuss what is probably his current label's selling point of the album (other than the Emmy-nominated theme for the TV show "Saving Grace): his cover of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues."
I listened to this version and formed my opinion. Then I recalled that I have another cover version of "Folsom," this one performed by the Reverend Horton Heat. I listened to that one again, having not heard it in quite a long time.
Now, I'm of the opinion that, not only is the success of a cover song weighed by its faithfulness to the original (or its departure), but I also think that, whenever possible, when a song has been covered by multiple skilled artists, you can get a lot out of measuring these versions against each other.
That being said, you may have noticed on the side, that voting booth over there? Yeeeaaah ....
- VS -
"Folsom Prison Blues" - Everlast
I want to get a few votes counted before I weigh in with my opinions, so let me know what'chu got, holmes.

A new banner request
Since I can't use photoshop worth a lick
I want a banner that highlights our originality. I actually don't really know what I want, because my first idea was cheesy. I'm just tired of people taking things that we have collectively created and then rehashing them for at least three years over and over. You know?

[Comics] All Star Superman
Talk about a great book!
In the past few years, comics have gone away from quality storytelling and have yielded to the multipart crossover story du'jour, be it "Civil War," "Secret Invasion," or Crises both "Infinite" and "Final."
But "All Star Superman," a limited series which came to an end last week with #12, was a departure from the unfortunate norm. Written by Grant Morrison (the same Morrison who looks like Christopher Daniels and is making a fine fucked up mess of "Final Crisis" as we speak) and drawn by Frank Quitely, the story deals primarily in issues of Superman's mortality, as it follows the Man of Steel during his final days of life. This character study focuses on a lot of Superman's last wishes, regrets, last acts, and ultimately his acceptance of his fate. Consider it the superhuman answer to Kubler-Ross and her stages of dying.
But before you think this is all morose belly button gazing, be advised that there are plenty of storytelling ledges that Morrison is more than happy to leap from; dare I say that he crams some concepts in this storyline that Warren Ellis would even say, "Man, what the fuck?" Black kryptonite, that makes Superman evil? Check. Lex Luthor sentenced to death in the electric chair? Check. An "imperfect" clone of Bizarro (the imperfect clone of Superman), that happens to be a perfect clone of Superman? Check. There are even enough concepts that could easily fill years worth of Superman stories, yet are relegated to throwaway ideas to drive the story forward & ramp up the details.
A great read, and a finer limited series you would be hard pressed to find. This is the Grant Morrison that is fun to read, when he's not going writing all tripped-out, fill-in-your-own-blanks obtuse stories like he was guilty of in his run on "JLA."
A solid three count (yeah, the creator of the three count rating system is taking that one back ... be original, for god's sakes, you know who you are).

Nate's Shower Thought for the Day
I came up with an idea for a new game show.
Since we're now inundated with game shows of questionable repute - particularly "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" and "Moment of Truth" - I propose a game show concept that tests knowledge and promotes base humiliation based on personal preferences.
The show's called, "What're You, Queer?" You find contestants that claim to be or are presumed to be unquestionably heterosexual. You then proceed to ask them questions that stereotypically, as well as realistically, only gay people would know.
The questions are multiple choice, with three answers apiece. All three answers are correct answers, to certain degrees. Each answer is rated a number value, based on its level of correctness, and hence its level of gayness. Example, I stole this one off an internet quiz:
"How do you like your bottoms to act during sex?"
a. Lie there and be still. (worth, say, 1 pt)
b. "Take it bitch!" (worth 5 pts)
c. I am a bottom. (worth a whopping 10 pts)
The more points you accummulate, the more money you make. In other words, the gayer you are, etc. etc.
Since it's the big thing for washed-up comedians and actors to host these types of things, I'm thinking Brian Austin Green of "90210" fame.
And at the end of each show, as guests fall into a certain point range, the host will congratulate them based on their overall gayness. Ex. "Well, Bob, you didn't walk home with a whole lot of money, but rest assured that you aren't all that gay." Or "Well, Joe, you did fantastic job on today's show, which proves the motto we have on 'What're You, Queer:' It pays to be gay! See you all next time!" Cue outro music.

More Shitty Journalism
This is probably the worst example of unclear and illogical writing I've ran across.
Full article
SANFORD, Fla. -- NASCAR officials said they have reached an oral settlement with the family of the pilot in last year's deadly plane crash in Sanford.
The attorney for pilot Michael Klemm's family declined to name an amount, but said it will be finalized quickly.
Klemm was a senior pilot with NASCAR, flying with Nascar relative Dr. Bruce Kennedy when their plane crashed into a Sanford subdivision.
How the hell is someone a relative of an organization? I know that familial terms are used figuratively at times, but this is just stupid.
It is still unclear who was flying the plane when the crash occurred, but a pilot declared an emergency when smoke filled the cockpit just after 8:30 a.m. Within two minutes, the plane disappeared from radar, according to the crash report.
The report also stated NASCAR's pilot was told of the radar problem before the crash, but he said he "didn't care about the radar" in a phone conversation on the morning of the crash. A NASCAR spokesman said Klemm meant that he didn't need the radar and on a clear day and could fly without radar for a short trip.
Investigators scrutinized the records of the two pilots aboard the plane.
This is all sorts of fucked. The author doesn't clarify that there were two pilots on the plane until after referring to confusion over who was actually piloting, which initially leads one to consider the possibility that there was some sort of circus in the cockpit. "Who is flying? Oh my god, Bear is flying! How can that be?"
Worse than that, the second paragraph in this section refers to a "radar problem" that isn't explained anywhere else in the article. The only other reference to radar is that the plane fell off the radar before the crash. But the pilot had been warned of the radar problem that morning, before the flight. So someone saw the future and warned the pilot about the radar, but didn't bother to mention the crashing part?
I had to read this article three times to figure out what was going on. The most important part of the story was completely left out: why was NASCAR held responsible? Just because they employed the pilot and owned or leased the plane? Did they leave a lugnut off during a pit stop, causing the crash? What the fuck happened? I think I'm gonna sue the author of this article for intentionally and willfully trying to kill my brain.

Anybody played TNA Impact yet?
I'm wondering if this game is any count
[I've had my eye on this game for a minute. Does anybody in our little crew own this game? I'd like to know if it's worth my sixty bucks. It does have Kevin Nash on the roster which is a huge selling point for me because I pattern my whole life on Kevin Nash. But that's not quite enough to get me to drop the money. I need to hear some reassurance from people I trust. Namely Reverend Joshua. Remember all those hours we spent playing No Mercy? That was in my opinion the greatest wrestling game of all time and one of the top ten all time games period. I remember having a thirty minute posedown with Hulk Hogan against Ultimate Warrior. Or the triple threat match with Wayne Winters vs. Keith Roper vs. Uncle Tom.]

American Football
[College Football! Early season assessment]
[Well I just got finished watching the USC Ohio State game and I must say I feel privileged. I have seen the best team...well since probably USC's last great team. I'm a die-hard Buckeyes fan and I never pick them to lose, but I can honestly say I had that feeling before tonight's game. Wells or no Wells they were in trouble. Southern Cal is like a V-12 engine running on super premium gasoline. If they lose a game this year it'll only be because they got bored or paid off. My earlier prediction was for Ohio State and Clemson to play for the title. Since Ohio State ran into the grid-iron equivalent of 2000-era Triple H and Clemson lived up to Josh's prediction of sucking it hard against Bama in week one, I'm gonna make a revision: USC will play their own second string in Miami for the National Title and win in overtime.....USC-Oklahoma anyone?]

It's a run on the pumps!
Fill 'er up boys.
Hurricane Ike sure has scared a lot of folks at these parts. At the gas station 1 mile from my apartment, the price was dropped today by six cents. Apparently word got out that Hurricane Ike was going to "shutter" oil production for a while and the floodgates opened. We just sat in a gas line (I was just above 1/4 a tank and legit needed fuel) and when we got to the pumps found that gas was now limited to 10 gallons per car. Wholesale gas jumped $1.25 today and, evidently, that means the folks who man the stations have free reign to jack things up as they see fit.

Very, very bizarre
I don't know what to make of this.
Way back in 1997, when the internet was young and was a lowly undergrad, I set up an account on one of the free mail websites. I didn't want to use my name, mainly because I thought that someone would track me down or some such, so I used a celebrity's name. This person played in the NFL and was at that time in his prime. Though I didn't pull for his team he was an impact player and a very well-known figure. For no reason I chose his name and have kept the account for the last 11 years.
Tonight I found out that his daughter is in my class.
How. Frigging. Strange.

Free Speech??
What constitutes free speech?
I heard and I am not sure if it is true, but is an interesting thought. A student at a high school stood on the lunchroom table and yelled out "F**k You!" to everybody. He was arrested but then no charges were filed because it did not cause a riot and free speech. Now, does this mean people have the right to say what they want to say even if it is breaking the rules. Of course if that is a rule at the school and it is written saying that "Students may not stan on lunchroom table and yell f**k you to everyone" If they have that listed as a rule I want to see it. So, boys and girls the next time you get a traffic ticket or summoned to serve on a jury--you may use your right and tell them to f**k off- AHHHHH Free Speech- Love it!

"Strange Face of Love - Tito y Tarantula"
Tito & Tarantula are the band that plays in the Titty Twister in the film, "From Dusk 'Til Dawn." They're clearly a favorite group of Robert Rodriguez, since they provide music for much of his projects. This song, for example, is from "Desperado."
So dig on this song, let me know what you think.

Will the Sitcom return?
You know the song, "Video Killed The Radio Star"? I think Reality TV has killed the sitcom
I know you have heard this or at least thought this yourself. I mean how many different types of reality TV do we need? Is it Entertainment to watch someone sing or dance and have David Hasselhoff rant about it? I mean I miss the storytelling and the magic of the sitcom where problems can be solved in a mere 30 minute show. I long for the days when Gary Coleman says "what you talkin' about Willis?

What do you fools think of Google Chrome?
I'm usually behind the times on this stuff, and I'm generally irritated at the factions who sit and salivate at the notion of a software being better than it's Microsoft counterpart...
(As a sidenote, I was upset when I got to work at the studio the other day and found that one of the guys had installed Linux on the office computer...I went from a man with very good, albeit not expert or programmer, computer skills, to a completely clueless dum-dum trying to navigate that nonsense, anti-establishment counterculture bullshit OS).
Anyway, being a stubborn asshole, I resisted Firefox for the longest time, until realizing, "Hey, this isn't so bad." I downloaded the new Google Chrome browser today at work, and so far, so good. Seems to run fairly simple and stable. Although I must admit, the absence of a status bar at the bottom is weird, and I don't know how I feel about that. Granted, when it's looking up websites downloading info, you get a status bar, but once complete it disappears.
Does anyone have an opinion on it? Any insider info I should know about?

Jerry Reed- RIP
You may be asking yourself-- who?
I mainly remember him from the Smokey and the Bandit movie as well as an episode of Scooby Doo. If you look online and see his picture then you will know who I am talking about. There is actually (or used to be-not sure if still is) a picture of him at the McAlister's Deli in Greenwood, SC. I think he did stuff in that area when he started out his career.
Also I apologize for my lack of input on this great blog. I will get back into full swing with it soon! I am looking forward to what Nate has in store for Halloween.

Drop Dead Legs - Van Halen
One of my favorite Van Halen tracks, and highly underrated in my book. It's an easy track to overlook, with all those charting singles - "Jump," "Panama," "Hot For Teacher," and "I'll Wait."
