Fun With Numbers: 2016 Presidential Election
I’m writing this March 8th, 2016, so there are quite a few caucuses (caucii?) to go. That said, the media has been doing absolutely everything they can to diminish Bernie Sanders as a candidate, and everything he’s accomplished so far. In full disclosure, even though I’m not a journalist, and this website is just for me to complain about stuff and make dick jokes, I am a supporter of Bernie Sanders, and plan to vote for him in the WA caucus, later this month.

Riddler Umbrella
I know that an umbrella is more of a Penguin thing, and the Riddler is known for his cane, but I thought the question mark handle would be ideal for an umbrella. When I couldn’t find one, I decided to make one. This ended up being quite expensive. But looks amazing.

Review: Sterling-Scott ties
I am known for my tie knots. I always wear my neck ties with crazy knots. I’ve got an entire album on my Facebook page dedicated to them. A year ago, I heard of a new type of tie, called the Sterling-Scott. When I first saw them, I thought, wow, these are expensive. But I still had to have one. So I bought two. Then a few months later, I loved them so much, that I bought two more.

Server Build Part 1: XenServer
I’ve decided to document the trials, tribulations, and a word that starts with “T” that means “I seriously contemplate suicide because this won’t do the thing I want it to do”. Let’s go with t…fuckingkillme. I’m going to break this down into sections, as each will have a different goal and solution. Keep in mind two things. One, I have no actual training in computers. All I know, I know from a wicked crazy amount of Googling, and flat out clicking things to see what happens. A lot of my struggle has simply been because I have no clue what I’m doing. Second, I’m doing this on a real, full…

Chris Explains Rap Lyrics to White People
So yeah. I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel for topics. Writer’s block is a bitch. Anyway. There’s a huge cultural difference between African Americans and European Americans. Caucasians. Crackers. Whatever. We white people have almost no clue what it’s like, and especially what it has been like, to be black in America. Nowhere is this more apparent than in language. Well, police brutality, but also language. I’ve been told that I understand black culture pretty well. For a honky, anyway. As a public service, I’m going to try to explain lyrics to rap songs, so that white people can hopefully gain a little understanding and perspective.

The Lunacy That is Language
For the love of the Great Keanu, can we please streamline language? I’m not sure if all languages are like this, but in English based languages, it is absurd to the point of illogical incomprehensibility. I love language. I love the ability of being able to convey concepts and thoughts and identity to others, and that they can understand the gestures and verbal sounds we utter. Even that is limited, though. Over the eons, our languages have evolved. I mean that literally, as they have changed slowly over time. Our modern American (which I maintain is a cousin to, but not the same as, English) evolved from Olde English (mixed with Spanish and…

Hangable T-shirt Art
I have a bunch of rare and/or signed shirts. Some don’t fit me. Others I don’t want to wear out. Thus, I decided to turn them into wall art. They only take 15 minutes or so to make.

Chalkboard Whiskey Decanter
Recently, I had an idea for adding chalkboard paint to my whiskey decanter.

Sexual Repression
As the Nubian philosophers Salt and Pepper once suggested, let us talk about sexytimes. Baby. If that makes you uncomfortable, then you’re proving my point. When it comes to sexuality, we in the US and most of the Middle East are a bunch of babies. At least babies get to see tits.

Biography: Grigori Rasputin
It’s time for another biography. Today it’s the Siberian Swindler, Grigori Rasputin. Rasputin is primarily known for two things: His seeming ability to control the Russian Czar, and one of the most odd, confusing, unreliable deaths in modern history.
