Did a search for "Climb Inside My World" the Ren & Stimpy Belly Button Song and some guy had it but w/ the lyrics transcribed a bit wrong... I have this on my mp3 player, so pretty sure it goes as follows:
Rainbow cinnamon gumdrop,
Lemon and purple people are a plastic mystery,
Dayglo bubblegum porkchop,
Lilac lady will go down in history.
(Chorus)
Climb inside my world,
Climb inside my belly button bean-bag plastic world!
Bean-cheese bell bottom mind games,
Pigpen Henry drinks his prune juice everyday,
Tie-dye businessmen snowflake,
Rubber man bouncing down a mushroom gravy highway.
Climb inside my world,
Climb inside my belly button bean-bag plastic world!
Saffron teabag perogi,
Parsley panda has a pepperoni pocket comb,
Pipebag dripped with lasagne,
Meatloaf monkey drives a moon-beam motor home.
Climb inside my world,
Climb inside my belly button bean-bag plastic world!

pretty obscure song... from the last season of Ren & Stimpy when most of the shows weren't worth watching as they'd long since kicked John K. to the curb and used up all his scripts. This was a random episode featuring Gilbert Gottfried as 'Jerry the Bellybutton Elf' (aka Bathornos, Lord of Chaos) that is just bizarre. Song is a trip too.

Thanks Fedex
FedEx Ground did a good one on me. Was kind of amusing... I knew the package was out on the truck to be delivered, and towards the end of the day when I figured it should have arrived, I double-checked tracking to find that it had already been delivered. Eh? wtf?! I checked out front to see if it had been left there. Nope. Came back in and checked the delivery info and even got to see the digitized signature of whomever had my nifty new pc. When I called Fedex, they told me oh yeah it had been delivered at such and such time to such and such place.
"Interesting you delivered it there" says I "considering that doesn't really match the address it was sent to."
"Hmm..."
I got a phone call first thing the next morning from the local manager apologizing and promising to track down the package. I let him and Dell know that I had no intention of accepting an open package should they recover it from the errant recipient.
To Dell's credit, they got a replacement built and overnighted out to me in just over a week. Considering it's the holiday season, that's not bad turnaround for a problem that wasn't their fault. The new machine smokes too.

Martin
Taking a day to just breath. Well, okay, and dring a Hair of the Dog double ipa and make sure the kid's fed, de-flea the cat, keep the yard from roasting and try to find a new ride... but as days go that's pretty mellow.
Still waiting on the grades from 2 finals taken last week, so I'm having a bit a of time chillin' out. I just found out today that Martin Fierro passed away after a short bout with cancer this spring. Between my kid and the past 2.5 years playing Warcraft, I've been so oblivious to what's going on in the world when it comes to music. I'm trying hard not to feel like it's a bit of an insult to his spirit, not having heard that he'd passed. :(
I'd seen him with a couple different bands but will always have a soft spot in my heart for the couple Zero gigs I saw at the W.O.W. Hall in Eugene during the late 80's. If you have a bud with an extensive Zero show collection, hit him up. Those were some very sweet nights.
Chi pisa la chike, Martin!

GG Sprint
Didn't I read something about Sprint mebbe getting bought by some South Korean telcom outfit? Man, maybe they'd be able to straighten out these fucktards. I've wasted about 2 hours of my life trying to get my smartphone straightened out. Well... 2 hours and counting.
I spring for the $7/mo. to have a 3rd party insure my pda/phone thingum. The damn thing was almost $500, and I've had to have it replaced 3 times now. Once it bounced out of my pocket and down the basement stairs onto the concrete floor, another being dropped into the toilet by my 2 year old. (little shit! .... meaning the kid, the toilet was clean at the time). This last time I managed to crack the screen of it at the zoo somehow.
The first time Sprint mailed me a new one and it was even an upgrade to the older model I had. The following replacements were refurbished smartphones. The insuring outfit has a 30 day warranty on their replacement, and each time there's a $50 deductible.
10 days after the 30 day warranty had expired on this last replacement phone, imagine my surprise when its sound stopped working. No ringing, no sound or microphone working when a call is connected, no MP3's... nothing. When I contacted the insurance peeps (Insurion or something like that), they let me know I could get another crap refurb for another $50 or that I could drive an hour each way to a repairshop to see if it could be fixed. Yeah, that's gonna happen.
I called Sprint and let them know what I thought of that, and that what they could do with their phone and service. I got put on the line with someone from their "Customer Retention" department who tried to get me to switch to another phone and tried to offer me the same deal anyone gets when signing up for a 2 year contract. I told her I saw that deal online and that it was kind of insulting. She said she'd see what she could do and the line went dead. Gee. Imagine that.
I called back again. After going through 3 more people and back over to the customer retention folks, I got the same story about not being able to give me a better deal than what they give new customers online. I said 'fine, you can go ahead and cancel my account'. He said told me they were sorry to lose my business and that he was closing my account and we hung up. Five minutes later, my smartphone with no sound vibrates, indicating it has an incoming call. I always use a hands free set when dealing with customer service people so I can surf online etc while on hold... so I pulled it out of my home phone, plugged it into my cell, and of course it's the bright boy from Sprint.
He informs me his supervisor has authorized him to give me a better deal on the new Palm Treo 800w... $150 with a new 2 year agreement. That's more like it, so after making a couple more changes to my account we conclude our exchange.
Today, I get a confirmation e-mail indicating my new Blackberry Curve 8330 has been shipped, with a total price of $267.99. wtf?!? So back on the horn, 4 customer service reps this time... and supposedly squared away this time. I have to refuse delivery of the Blackberry. Of course they're going to screw up either the price or my account changes I'm sure. Is this worth saving $100 on the new Treo? Not really, but at this point it's the principle of the whole thing.

Kiddo hits 3
My son hit 3 years of age today. All are sacked out after crashing from a great sugar high. Mom sent him a 'Diego Insect Rescue Pack' which includes a mini-butterfly net, a mini-vacuum cleaner bug catching device and what's supposed to be a viewing chamber for the bugs you catch. More like a death chamber. A tiny little thing with a bunch of fake plastic landscape and now room for food or water. What's wrong with the traditional mayonnaise jar with the nail holes in the lid? (Aside from it not having the 'Go Diego Go' brandname on the side.)
Anyhow, I did manage to catch some tiny little orange butterfly that was enjoying the lavender in our garden and somehow got it into the aforementioned death chamber without crushing the poor thing. Luc watched it for about 3 minutes and then asked his mom to let it go. Good for him. I was a little worried about whole get up, but I think he'll do okay. Such a gentle kid that I worry he's gonna get steamrolled by other boys his age who have a couple brothers. Now how to get him to eat his spinache?!

Potassium?! wtf
First there's Potassium. Everything's negative inside and we're all cool.
Then something stimulates shit and BAM tons of Sodium pours in and everythings all positive.
The Potassium says 'Fuck That' we're out. Potassium splits in droves, and being that they're positive, everything gets all negative again.
Rinse. Repeat.
Such is the life inside a Neuron...

Wouldn't You Really Rather Have a Buick?
(From the old tv spots)
I mean seriously... get the damn fossil fuels out of the way. Why limp along metering out a finite resource? Tax the royal fuck out of it... double the cost per gallon and put the funds towards figuring out how to replace them. The price is gonna double soon enough anyway.
