Ok, which of these two kinds of people is slathered with more K-Y jelly on the express slide down to Hell?
a. Someone who would sell Space Shuttle Columbia debris on e-Bay
or
b. Someone who would buy Space Shuttle Columbia debris on e-Bay?
Please discuss and get back to me.

STILL TIED UP, BUT NOT LIKE THAT CHICK ON "JOE MILLIONAIRE"
I'm all better now after the illness I contracted during training class. Ok, it wasn't an illness, it was a cold, but it could have been an illness if it had applied itself. Right now, I'm waiting for some guy from Seattle to show up and install some software. While I'm waiting, I'm trying to check out a video from Tatu, a teen singing group in the UK which has been banned from "Top Of The Pops" for being "pedo-pop". You know, when I hear about censorship in any form, I simply need to investigate for myself to determine the important relevant issues, and this case is certainly no exception. In fact, this is whatever the opposite of an exception is.
Ok, I saw it. Imagine Britney Spears, circa "Hit Me Baby One Time" only not as old looking, with a female friend of the same age, making out in the rain in some sort of open air prison cell. Um, has R. Kelly seen this? I wouldn't let him watch it if I were the authorities. I mean, even I think this should be banned. Yeesh.

SEE YOU...WHENEVER
I've got absolutely nothing today, but I did want to let you know, my little Crossbow Home Gym searchers, that I will be out of commission for at least the rest of this week and possibly for some time after that. We're putting in a new software application, and I'll be at training this week and working on the installation next week and thereafter until we get done. That's right, I have ... work (lightning bolt, thunder clap, and sound of scary organ music) to do. Yuck. I may be able to lend you my pithy observations here and there over the next few weeks, but for the most part, you'll have to make do with...the entire rest of the Internet. I know it will be difficult, but together, somehow, we'll manage.

TO ALL MY WEIDERS
As I was castigated by one of my accidental readers yesterday, there is in fact such a thing as a "Crossbow Home Gym". The reason I mention the "Crossbow Home Gym", other than to attract more accidental readers, is to say that I'm pretty skeptical about the "Crossbow Home Gym". I used to own a Soloflex, which is the "Crossbow Home Gym" with rubber bands instead of tubes, and here's pretty much how that went down:
- I bought the Soloflex for more money than I'd ever seen in one place.
- The Soloflex arrived in three or four cardboard boxes which weighed slightly more than Jupiter.
- I found a nice spot in my apartment and put the Soloflex together, which burned about 3500 calories by itself.
- My landlord stopped by and told me to move the Soloflex, because it was on a carpet and he said it would get the carpet greasy. The Soloflex is made of steel and has no grease anywhere on it. My landlord was and surely still is a certifiable knucklehead.
- I moved the Soloflex to a less desirable location, burning another 3500 calories.
- I used the Soloflex 3 times a week for 12 weeks, just like it says in the directions. Well, maybe 2 times a week some weeks. Well, since I had to stick it in a spare bedroom with no access to a TV or stereo system, and oh yeah, I'm really, really LAZY, I kinda stopped using it altogether on some weeks. Ok, every week.
- I put the Soloflex back in the cardboard boxes (3500 more calories!).
- I sold the Soloflex for an amount of money I was eminently familiar with.
For all my troubles, I burned about 10,500 calories putting it together, moving it, and taking it apart, plus the few hundred I burned actually using it as intended. I'm thinking the "Crossbow Home Gym" would yield similar results, except I now own instead of rent, so the calories expended would drop by 3500.
And, of course, I'd miss all those warm, wonderful, kind, and thoughtful people down at my health club...

YOU'LL READ IT AND LIKE IT!
Let's see...
Nothing humorously interesting has happened to me in the last few weeks. I am not currently angry about anything. The news is a relentless drumbeat of depressing sameness. It's too cold to go watch movies or otherwise leave the house. Television has settled into a fragmented patchwork of lame reality shows, bad sitcoms, derivative cop shows, and endless cable re-runs. My football teams have been eliminated from contention. Baseball is weeks away. I am deep in the middle of my Seasonal Affective Disorder. The book I am reading is leaden and lifeless. Work is...work.
Nope. You ain't gettin' no blog entry today!
Except for that cop-out above, of course. Boy, I must be the only blogger campaigning for negative Blizg votes.

a. The key to Revelations
b. The Kentucky Fried Chicken secret recipe
c. The missing 18-1/2 minutes of the Nixon Watergate tapes, and the identity of Deep Throat
d. The end of split ends forever!
So get digging!

DAVID MANNING: "LOVED IT, UH, THEM, WHATEVER!"
In an unprecedented move, the films "National Security" and "Kangaroo Jack" agreed to merge, forming the film "National Jack".
Columbia Pictures and Warner Brothers, which released the two films, agreed to the merger yesterday after analyzing data from advanced screenings. "We've established that the two films have essentially the same story, the same characters, and the same theme, and are equally as lousy, and that it would be foolish to show the films separately in twice as many theaters as they can support," said a spokesman.
According to the merger agreement drawn up by the two parties, the merger will be accomplished by editing .466 frames of "National Security" in with every frame of "Kangaroo Jack". "Kangaroo Jack" Producer Jerry Bruckheimer added, "I was actually thinking of moving the whole thing to Los Angeles and hiring Martin Lawrence to play the Kangaroo, so this move is really the best of all possible worlds."
The two companies have announced that synergies from combining the two films could run into the tens of millions.

CBT ME
Things I like about computer-based training:
- Very easy to turn it off and read "The Onion" instead.
- Hard to obsess over the instructor's bald spot.
- No uncomfortable conversation about the Iraqi situation with the hotel shuttle driver.
- Temptation to eat 27 Krispy Kreme Chocolate Iced donuts in one morning is nearly non-existent.
- Zero chance of being cavity searched by security personnel.
Things I don't like about computer-based training:
- No tent cards. I don't really like tent cards, I just like saying "tent cards".
- No complimentary bars of soap, bottles of shampoo, towels, bedspreads, clock radios, TV's (boy, are they hard to pack, and I always forget to take the remote), etc.
- No "return from business trip" sex.
- Missing of Free Continental Breakfast.
- Zero chance of being cavity searched by security personnel. I have my moods.

AT LEAST IT'LL BE WARM IN FRONT OF THE TV
At 12 Noon, I will be logging on to buy Eagles NFC Championship Game tickets. I figure I ought to see some of the most obscure and bewildering messages for why I can't access the Ticketmaster server. I will post them here in this space later today after my quest is thwarted by various ticket brokers who have hired hackers to stage what are sure to become dueling Denial Of Service attacks.
UPDATE: It was pretty anti-climactic. All I got were blank screens, and the little blue progress thingy on the bottom of the browser, until about 12:12, when there was a message that tickets were no longer available. C'est la guerre.

MILLIONS VOLUNTEER TO CONDUCT STRIP SEARCH
The crack journalists at Reuters have committed countless funds and man-hours to the question that has been plaguing the world for months. Their tentative answer: No.
White House spokesman Ari Fleischer released a statement today saying the President has no comment on the conclusions, but that the Clinton Administration should be blamed for "coddling" on this issue, and for "putting us in the position we are today." "We could know better, and we should know better, and if anyone could have obtained the information, it was Bill Clinton," said Fleischer.
I have also conducted my own exhaustive web search for evidence, which took up most of the morning, examining hundreds of examples of forensic photography, and to this point, I have to agree with Reuters. But if you think I'm giving up that easily, that's where you are mistaken. The search will continue until all possible leads have been followed. In fact, this investigation should promise to make Hans Blix' little operation look like a Girl Scout scavenger hunt.

NOT IN THE MOOD TODAY
Sorry, folks. No lame attempt at humor today. A work acquaintance of mine died yesterday on the US Airways Express plane that crashed in Charlotte. He was the guy I wrote this about.
So, say a prayer for his wife and two little kids, if you're into that sort of thing.
Mike, you will be missed.

AL-KITTY
It turns out the recent FBI terrorism warning about five foreigners entering the country illegally was a hoax.
However, the FBI has issued a new terrorism warning based on information gained from another informant about two other foreigners who have entered the country several years ago. They've released a photo of the suspects.
The FBI says the suspects are experts in using biological agents and psychological warfare methods, and should be considered dangerous.

TIM MILLIONAIRE
Sorry, I've been gone a few days. I went out to LA for a modeling shoot. I thought it went pretty well. I just got the photos e-mailed to me.
I was a little cold here. That's why my arms are crossed, and um, it isn't so big.
I felt pretty comfortable in this one. Jeez, I must have been thinking about Karen Grassle NUDE! there.
This was me doing my sundial imitation.
I'm hoping for my own TV show out of this, if not on FOX then maybe on that PrideVision channel up in Canada.

VH-HUH?
My wife and I spent New Year's Eve watching "Top 100 One Hit Wonders" on VH-1. It started at 9 PM, and went until 2 AM. It wasn't exactly Times Square, but I did learn a lot of useless trivia. Since most of you were inebriated at the time of the show's airing, I will relate the highlights to you.
- The lead singer of Bow Wow Wow ("I Want Candy") is Burmese.
- There was no such person named "C.W. McCall" of "Convoy" fame. The name was made up for a series of commercials from which the song arose.
- Michael Sembello wrote "Maniac" for a horror movie soundtrack. The producers of "Flashdance" called, said they loved the song, and asked him to change the words.
- Lipps, Inc. ("Funkytown") was really a white guy.
- Andrea True from the Andrea True Connection ("More, More, More") was a porn star.
- "867-5309" was the phone number of people in over 100 area codes.
- Minnie Riperton ("Loving You"), who died of breast cancer in 1979, is the mother of Maya Rudolph from the cast of "Saturday Night Live"
- Paul Shaffer was a co-writer on "It's Raining Men". Yes, that Paul Shaffer.
- Martha Wash of The Weather Girls ("It's Raining Men") also sings on C+C Music Factory's "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)", but was considered too overweight to appear in the video.
- The Tom Tom Club ("Genius Of Love") included Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth from Talking Heads. I should have known this, but I didn't.
- Nick Gilder ("Hot Child In The City") is a full-on freak. That's really an opinion, but I'm sure it is shared by a majority of viewers.
- The Verve sampled the Rolling Stones to make "Bittersweet Symphony", got into big trouble, and broke up. Another one I missed.
- Debbie Boone ("You Light Up My Life") was briefly married to Rob Halford of Judas Priest, before Halford came out of the closet.
- David Letterman starred on the Starland Vocal Band's ("Afternoon Delight") short-lived variety show.
- EMF ("Unbelievable") stands for Epsom Mad Funkers.
- Wild Cherry ("Play That Funky Music") named themselves after the Ludens Cough Drops of the same name.
- Dexy's Midnight Runners ("Come On Eileen") named themselves after the amphetamine Dexedrine.
- "The Macarena" is still the stupidest thing ever invented. Yes, another opinion, but once again well substantiated.
- Being a one-hit wonder is dangerous to your health. At least 10 of the band members on the list died before their 40th birthday.
I made up one of the above "facts". It's fairly easy to spot and confirm. But please feel free to spread it like wildfire so that it becomes true for all intents and purposes.
