The Last Title Was a Line from Gigli

I decided that probably one of my favorite t-shirt designs of all time was for a women's health and betterment clinic. On the back was the name of the women's center and an address, and on the front, clear as daylight, was the phrase, "You Just Can't Beat a Woman."

It takes a strong woman to recover from the physical and psychological damage done by years of abuse, but it takes a stronger woman to make a pun about that abuse.

I'm sure you've all already heard of the wonders of Bit Torrent. If you haven't, I suggest you read up here. I just got started using Azureus today, which I'm told will enable me to download as many episodes of now-ancient television programs as I could ever wish. There is an inspiring effort being made by some good ole boys at the Digital Archive Project to preserve choice shows in lieu of archaic, fanboy tape-trading methods. They're stockpiling as many digital rips of MST3k episodes as possible, so that fans worldwide can enjoy the show despite Comedy Central and the Sci-Fi Channel's refusal to air it. Sure, the DVD sets are good, but the lack of respect for broadcast order, and the seemingly arbitrary method of episode selection (certainly not by quality) is questionable enough to show merit in such an endeavor by fans. Msties like myself can procure a remarkable quantity of the shows from http://www.myspleen.net/, which seems to be the foremost provider of the antics of Crow, Tom, and Mike (or if you, must, Joel). Just a head's up. I mean, you can download Scrubs and Lost and Desperate Housewives too, if that's more your bag.

I have to go look at a neon sign across the street at a sorority, but it's not creepy, because I was invited.
