The Bloodletting

So I gave blood yesterday, and a nice lady ran down the list prequalifying Yes/No questions:

"And just let me know if these are too personal."
"Sure," I said.

"Within the last year, have you been to any third-world disease-ravaged countries?"
"No."

"Within the last year, have you had sex with anyone from a third-world disease-ravaged country?"
"No."

"Within the last year, have you had sex with someone who might have had sex with someone from a third-world disease-ravaged country?"
"No."

"Within the last year, might you have had sex with someone who stood in line at the grocery store next to someone who has had sex with someone from a third-world disease-ravaged country?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"Pretty sure."

"Have you ever taken money for sex?"
"Is that a proposition, or part of the survey?"
"What?", she asked, looking quite confused.
"Um, no," I said.

At that point, I asked her if the line of questioning might be significantly shortened by first asking if the person has had sex within the last year.

Anyway, I must have passed the test, because they took my blood, and while I was laying there, I came to a decision. I think that as a blood donor, you should get credit for the blood you give. I don't mean cash or even the pop and cookies they give you to keep your blood sugar up, but there should be a credit system where if you donate blood, and someday down the road, you need some, you have a reserve. And for those cowards who don't want to give blood, they can buy my blood credits off E-Bay for a reasonable rate...

Can Star Wars III be Saved?

I doubt it. If it really were'nt the final piece of the StarWars hex-ology, I would refuse to see it just based on Episodes I and II. My justification? I will give you five, each of which are enough to justify having Lucas exiled from this planet.

1)Midichlorians
2)Hayden Christensen
3)Half-hour of Pod racing.
4)Jar-Jar Binks
5)Midichlorians

This article makes some recommendations for salvaging the series, and I agree with him 100%, especially on how to deal with George Lucas, "...knock him out, encase him in a block of frozen carbonite and put him out of the way somewhere until the movie is out in theaters."

Railgun Fans Rejoice!

The wait is OVER! Get your very own Railgun! If you take your home security as seriously as I do, you demand nothing but the finest! Muzzel Velocity is over Mach 6!
The only problem is it's over 20 feet long, and takes a LOT of electricity to run, but hey, no annoying bodies to dispose of.

How to Ruin a Good Movie

Bring earplugs to the release of Spider-Man 2. Dashboard Confessional (Hands Down the worst band in the history of recorded audio) is responsible for the Key song in the film. I would rather listen to the worst gangsta rap or the most puking-sick county crap you can imagine than to hear one note from Chris Carrabba. If I meet him, I will remove his tongue with my bare hands as a public service....
