Robert at the Hole has translated portions of a Chosun article on predictions for Korea.
I'm sure not even one of you has already been to the Hole lately. Please go over and have a look. Robert needs more visitors. You'll also find a great advertisement to help you meet Korean girls, and another for funny T-shirts, which I'm sure will also help you score with the ladies.
Cause God knows us white guys need all the help we can get over here.
Speaking of predictions, just in case any of you were wondering how the World's Greatest Psychic fared in her predictions for 2007, wonder no more.
Montel Williams gave this hag a forum for her unethical bullshit for years. Montel was a marine before becoming a media whore. He has sat through years and years of Sylvia giving wrong prediction after wrong prediction, but never hesitated having her back on the show. Hal Bidlack, a retired Lt. Colonel from the air force, wrote an open letter to Montel asking him what has happened to his honor as a marine.
I have two Korean female friends who regularly go to fortune tellers. Both know I am vocal about my disbelief in this crap, so every time they think they get some amazing results from their fortune tellers they come running to me to justify their superstition. I've asked them to record the conversation with the fortune teller rather than rely on their memory of what was (and especially of what actually wasn't) said, but they never seem to get around to it. Truth is, they just don't really want to know.

The Secret! A-ha!
Funniest thing I've seen all month:
'You should visualize them back!"
A friend of mine read The Secret last February and gushed on and on about it. She said that now that she has The Secret, she KNEW that she should quit her company and try to get into law school (she hated her job).
A month later I heard from her again. She had a back injury that put her in a number of hospitals (including a famous acupuncture 'hospital', but we'll save that trip down quackery lane for a future post) and is still a big problem for her now. She was in too much pain to study for law school, so she gave up on it. She'll have to resign from her company if she isn't able to get back to work soon (about a year is all they will give her off from work). She started going back to work a week ago even though she is still in a lot of pain.
So clearly The Secret has worked out pretty well for her.
My theory is that the acupuncturists at the hospital she ended up going to were also reading The Secret, and visualized thousands of suckers suddenly having back problems and coming to their clinic for months and months of expensive therapy. Their visualization Kung Fu simply overrode that of my friend.
Something like that also might explain why Song Hye Kyo still hasn't slept with me, despite the fact that I've visualized such for several weeks now.
Perhaps too many other Secret readers have made this same "demand on the universe," and I just need to wait my turn patiently.
Oh, but she WILL be mine...
Second funniest thing I've seen all month:
"Gonna kick some ass with my own pipe wrench!"
Great vocals. I would love to see this same thing done with some cheesy heavy metal videos from the 80s.

Open Letter to Dokdoisours
Link me you whore! Link me NOW!
And if you think you have HALF the zeal for Dokdo's absolute Coreanness as I do, you are seriously, if not fatally, mistaken. Have you ever asked yourself why I don't update so often these days? YOU try to type a post with only 3 working fingers and 7 bloody stumps! That's how we play on THIS side of the EAST Sea, mo fo!
PS. I keep getting the emails I wrote you (all 84 of them) returned to me. You might want to check your spelling on the 'suck_on_it@not_a_real_address.com' email address you posted.
Finally, this is a video that I made to show the softer side of my love for The Rocks. I played the piano for this piece also, which was no easy feat (see above).
Did you know that there's a mailbox on Dokdo?

Guns and Roses
If you only watch one Guns and Roses video this year, let it be this one.
I never saw them live, but I did see one of their concerts on MTV. Axel Rose didn't sing quite as well as he did in the above video.
Seriously.
Still waiting for that new Axel Rose solo CD to come out. Should be any year now.

Sloganizer
Found this old post saved as a draft. After prayerful consideration, I decided to post it even though some of the blogs it mentions are now gone or transmogrified into something else.
Mayhaps in the near (if not extremely distant) future I'll find and post the missing link to the sloganizer and try a few more blog names that are dear to my heart. Being an even more half-assed post than my usual offerings of late, I might even throw in some random pictures of scantily-clad females, just to soothe the raging masses.
Seouliva turned me on to the sloganizer. Type in your blog name and it comes up with a slogan. Here's the best I came up with for me bloog.
Pure Pooper, Pure Power
Better than 'Dynamic Wellbeing of Blog'? Maybe not, but not bad.
Typed in some other blogs around the 'hood. Some of the better results:
Big Hominid
'Don't play with fire, play with Big Hominid'
Go farther with Big Hominid
'I wish I was a Big Hominid'
[who doesn't?]
About Joel
Joel can do
You better get inside Joel
[Hey, I'm just reporting on what it said]
I quit smoking with Joel
[Nomad, take notice]
Lost Nomad: To hell with the rest
['nuff said]
Marmot's Hole
Marmot's Hole: You see this name, you think dirty
[Again, I'm just reporting results here]
Feel good with Marmot's Hole
[Not going to touch this one...]
I want Marmot's Hole and I want it now!
[starting to realize why Robert wanted to change the name of his megablog a while back...]
Cathartidae
My way is Carthartidae
[good ring to that one]
igot2shoes
Call a friend, I got 2 shoes
The igot2shoes effect
