RITA'S CXLIII: You’re Gonna Have to Serve Somebody

Apparently there's this website where people put funny captions on pictures of cats, and Britain's The Sun are onto it, you guys!

this is starting to get out of hand now....some ideas need to die on the vine so the truly good ones can grow through

Kickstarter is now becoming high profile begging

Now becoming? High profile begging is exactly what it is and always has been, but so what? People will contribute to the projects that interest them, ignore the ones that don't, life goes on and you aren't effected one bit. Bitching about it like this is kind of lame, dude.

At least with Kickstarter you get rewards. I've given change to drunks on the street and haven't gotten so much as a thank you!

Cutting edge journalism at its finest! The Brits must be so proud.

Guapo Méndez has it taken out of his hands:

I changed one name in my intro sequence...


...and now I'm expanding a bit character into a full protagonist of the first 3rd of my novel.

Ain't literature great?

They write themselves!

...whether you want them to or not.

We can't forget the ultimate in high profile begging, political fundraisers.

Or charities. Or the collection plate at church. Or PBS!

PBS is a lot like Kickstarter, for your contribution you get the satisfaction of helping a good thing to exist and you get a lovely tote bag!

Your blog post/article helped me with some important research I was conducting.

Could be worse. I'm doing a write up right now on a Doctor Who dildo. I need one more one-off joke to complete my top 10 list.

The number of intelligent people that can't write is shockingly high.

In other news, I can't find my rub recipe for brisket or ribs. I can remember it for the most part, but this sucks as it's clearly time to start cooking both meats. They're a recipe folder on an older computer I have sitting in the closet that's been broken, for lack of a better word, for at least a year now. I really do need to get some of the files off of that thing.

Hah, you can't remember how to rub your meat.


Sadly, that doesn't work as a Doctor Who sex pun. Fuck!

Listening to the Avengers score. Silvestri snuck in a few hints of the Captain America theme. I am happy.

BLEH! The store I usually buy my cigarette papers from was too far away during my off days, so I bought a pack of "whatever's cheapest" at my corner gas station. Never again! They're a pack of Snoop Dogg papers (which I found amusing), but YUCK! They look like they're cellophane dipped in oil and they kind of taste like it, too. The tobacco's bad enough, but I can't imagine ruining weed with these things. Ptooi!

OK, that is SO not relevant to my interests.

Now I know how you all feel when I talk about gay porn and monorails.

On a darker note, I heard yesterday that my new divine supervisor (she's Shubb Niggurath), a couple of years ago forced a colleague out of the company whose daughter had thrown herself in front of a train a few months prior.

It's heart warming working in the social field.
