Remember when…

onefinemess | August 24, 2009

This came around? I don’t really, but I remember that the guitar part was fairly simple and I could almost play it passably.  How strange that they are what they are now, and that they spawned SO many (poor) imitators.  This wasn’t the first single…in fact it was the last, but for some reason it’s [...]

So Best Buy is selling guitar amps now?

onefinemess | March 12, 2009

and not just kid shit.  They’ve had the little stuff for a while.  But evidently now it’s getting serious. I stopped into one on my lunch break to check out some laptops (I HATE the new layouts they’ve got in all the stores now btw…feels way too…I dunno, off), and I was greeted by a [...]

Vanilla & Hammer….together again. In Utah? WTF

From Newsweek, via Ta-Nehisi, wtf! Wow and quadruple wow. So, so rich.  And creamy! Oh gawd, it’s sour, sour sour. Food poisoning.  Maybe.

ck? Discuss. PS. The Japanese are WEIRD.

this story needs more press

onefinemess | December 19, 2008

I don’t usually post for single links (but who knows, maybe I’ll start, some things do need more discussion) but this story was so vile that I had to. Plainclothes police officers beat and attempt to kidnap a 12 year old girl.  Father charged with assaulting police officers for trying to stop 3 men from [...]

thought for the day

Honesty is the most efficient policy for a low functioning brain.

WTF of the day: Nigerian cat-woman

onefinemess | May 24, 2008

Huh. Ok, so they’re superstitious. I get it. Poor 3rd cat I guess.

WTF of the day: people line up at 24hr Apple store for no reason

onefinemess | May 23, 2008

You can’t make this shit up. OK, I get it. You’re so used to lining up for random shit that Apple people tell you is cool that somehow, subconsciously you decided that maybe the reverse would work: line up and random shit will appear. But seriously guys, this is taking a bit far. I like [...]

stuff I don’t like #5: fake-and-bakers

onefinemess | April 22, 2008

Fake tans. I can’t stand them. There are lots of places to get fake tans in the Portland area. Because, you know, you won’t stand out at all in a city where THERE IS NO SUN 9+ months a year you have no sun. Here’s some random info about the history of sunless tanning (and [...]

stuff I don’t like #4: all the urchins near Pioneer Square

onefinemess | April 12, 2008

Jesus. H. (P.?) Christ. Those kids are annoying. A few weeks ago I was walking somewhere to find some food on my lunchbreak, and one of them turns around and starts pissing. He’s standing on the sidewalk, right behind a hotdog or some other bullshit vendor. Right on the side of the fucking courthouse. Or [...]
