SKANKS!

Yup, you heard me. Skanks. Normally, I’m above the hoity-toity nonsense in the celebrity arena, but not this time. I’m a geek blogger, and my precious blade, my long fawned over free speech, my sharpened and shined literacy has been threatened, and I’ll fall to the abyssmal pits before I let this go unchecked.

So stay with me, my soldiers, as I draw free speech from its scabard and attempt to slay my skanky foe.

Liskula Cohen is a skank, in my opinion.

Who is Liskula Cohen? Why, you’ve missed the train, my friend…

here’s a link to a picture of her, hosted by http://michelleallison.prblogs.org/.

The long and short of the ‘what happened’: Basically, a blogger made a blog called ‘Skanks of NYC,’ where she then called Cohen a skank, saying she was unnatractive and it would be gross to see her grinding some guy in a club, because she’s getting a little old to be acting that way.

Cohen contacted the blogger and the site was removed… but if what I have read is true, she didn’t stop there.

Cohen apparently called her lawyer and before you knew it, they were strong-arming google into giving up the blogger’s name.

Google relented, and the blogger was nearly sued for 3 million dollars.

Why I’m so ANGRY: Do you know what this means? It means, thanks to this case, that anyone who insults anyone can now have their annonymity stripped away and can be sued over a bloody insult that middle-schoolers use ever single day.

It means that bashing a corporation for unjust treatment can have you thrown into a spotlight and blackballed, your career ruined, and it could even mean the endangerment of you and your family. I’m talking some serious, Germany-style S.S. stuff here. Brace yourself.

I too, have now called Cohen a skank. Why? Because she couldn’t take a little bad press. Cohen flew off the handle and nearly sued a woman for a childish insult, and ruined internet annonymity forever. No more free speech, no more self-expression.

Thanks to Cohen, we can expect to see our liberties stripped away one by one, just like China has seen Google blocked and keeps its citizens from reading about their trysts. We will watch as the corporations of America invade the last frontier where we were all equals… and watch them destroy it, sinking our blogging battleships beneath the tremulous waves, because they have stolen Poseidon’s trident, and they can see us now, not as equals, but as ants.

Basically, the free speech we had on the internet is now as easily extinguished as the protesters with signs that stand outside their buildings… and will accomplish just as little.

So, because she has potentially ruined the internet revolution by making Google sell out a blogger, all because of ONE LITTLE INSULT, I say to you, Liskula Cohen, YOU ARE A SKANK. That is my PERSONAL OPINION, SO DON’T SUE ME TOO, SKANK.

Email me, if you read this, I’d LOVE to hear your side of the argument.

New posts starting Monday.

If you happen to be reading my blog, wondering what this game is, then please do yourself a favor and go purchase it. This game is one of the last, great platformers of our time. That being said, Psychonauts is not without glitches.

For one, though I can find no pics of it on the internet, I was able to use the brain tumbler from the first landing up the stairs by angling the camera oddly.

Next, you can abuse invisibility to sail through the final fights. Think fast, losers!

Last, the final figment in the Meat Circus is nigh impossible. You actually have to spam jump commands and PRAY to float just to grab the thing.

Lastly, I am a comletionist. So, if you level up as completely and thoroghly as I did, you start getting upgrades to powers YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE YET. I actually gut the upgrade to my shield power before OBTAINING the shield power. Yup, just another day in my life.

Too bad it probably won’t ever get a sequel… but we can still dream…

Until next time -GG

5. Losing My Things

Ok, so you’ve finally got it all in place, the TV is set up, and you ache too much to move anything else. Time to sit back and cleave through some fools in No More Heroes. …wait… where’s the Wii? Where’s the GAME? REMOTE?! … none of it is even plugged in or charged anyway, might was well pass out on the floor again.

4. Something Always Breaks

Woohoo! Three boxes to go! Let’s just set down this blender for a seco- dang it all. Get the broom. And a new blender.

3. Setting It All Up Again

Ok…When did I get FOUR BOXES OF CORDS FOR WHICH I HAVE NO DEVICES?!?! Also, when can I have my internet back?!?!

2. Giving Out New Directions and Addresses to EVERYONE

No… it’s left STRAIGHT right straight left four blocks straight straight… yknow what? Forget it. Order a pizza, be there in half an hour.

1. It’s Rarely Permanent

Time for a dorm! I have to go home for winter? Okay… Back…? Crap, I have to move out for SUMMER now… dorms suck, apartment time! …roommates suck, new apartment! …roommates swap around, new apartment! …I’m going to graduate soon… time to shop for a house.

…Then a retirement home.

…Then a grave.

They’ll probobly relocate the cemetary twice too, just to spite me.

Posts are going to be sporadic for a bit as I move to a new apartment. The move is complete, but I’m actually ‘borrowing’ internet for this post. Hopefully I will get the top 5 up tomorrow. Along with the GOTW. Later!
