Gary acts like a moron in Queens…

food_drink_2

[11:55] Gary: Gary act’s like a moron in Queens:
i went to a italian take out in queens that had sweet veal on the menu.
it was one of those places where you order on one side and pick up on the other
i argued with the guy cause i just wanted a plain fucken veal sandwich. not sweet, not hot
so i ordered and had the guy make me a plain veal sandwich. so i go over to the pickup and the guy is yelling sweet veal, sweet veal for pickup. all the while i’m standing there ignorning him thinking i’m getting a plain veal shortly
about 20mins later the cashier walks over and tells me that the sweet veal the other guy was yelling about was actually mine.
a cold veal sandwich is disgusting!
[11:56] BuCkSaTaN™: haha you bonehead. Did you want sauce on it?
[11:56] Gary: yeah
[11:56] Gary: i wanted a veal sandwich with cheese and sauce.
[11:56] BuCkSaTaN™: Well you have to choose whether you want sweet or hot ya loo.
[11:57] BuCkSaTaN™: They were muttering to themselves – “Fuckin’ manga cake.”
[11:57] BuCkSaTaN™: haha
[11:57] Gary: some places don’t ask you that. if you ask for a veal sandwich, they put all that on it
[11:57] BuCkSaTaN™: Well sweet just means that you don’t want hot (spicy sauce)
[11:58] BuCkSaTaN™: In other words, normal.
[11:58] BuCkSaTaN™: haha
[11:58] Gary: haha yes i found that out 20mins after my sandwich was made
[11:58] BuCkSaTaN™: hahahaha
[11:58] Gary: worst sandwich ever

[Months later... Gary and I return to sandwiches as a source of debate...]

1:54:01 PM BuCkSaTaN: wow… this is a REALLY good crabcake sandwich…
1:55:19 PM Gary: never had a crab-cake sandwich
1:55:27 PM Gary: what kind of sauce on it?
1:55:59 PM BuCkSaTaN: chipotle mayo
1:58:43 PM Gary: sounds good
1:58:46 PM Gary: where did you get it?
1:59:10 PM BuCkSaTaN: The Market
1:59:28 PM Gary: do you go to the veal shop downstairs?
1:59:39 PM BuCkSaTaN: The Ukranian place?
1:59:42 PM Gary: mr.mustachios or what ever
1:59:52 PM BuCkSaTaN: The sandwich place?
1:59:53 PM Gary: italian
1:59:54 PM BuCkSaTaN: They suck
2:00:02 PM Gary: NO WAY
2:00:09 PM BuCkSaTaN: Can ya put MORE debris on my fuckin’ sandwich?
2:00:15 PM BuCkSaTaN: I can’t even find the veal
2:00:23 PM Gary: get their chicken Parmesan on a focaccia
2:00:27 PM Gary: haha
2:00:32 PM BuCkSaTaN: And their sauce is made by a goon… nice and chunky like a good dump… sick
2:00:41 PM Gary: hahaha
2:00:43 PM Gary: wow
2:00:49 PM Gary: you had a bad time there i guess
2:00:52 PM BuCkSaTaN: I know good Italian sauce man
2:00:59 PM BuCkSaTaN: I MAKE good Italian sauce
2:01:05 PM Gary: every time i have had it there it was good
2:01:08 PM BuCkSaTaN: Not fuckin’ RAGU…
2:01:12 PM BuCkSaTaN: puke
2:01:30 PM Gary: i guess they have changed then
2:01:39 PM BuCkSaTaN: Then why don’tcha pile a wad of fuckin’ zucchini on my sandwich ya fuckers
2:01:39 PM Gary: i haven’t been there in a few years
2:01:42 PM BuCkSaTaN: Like wtf
2:01:50 PM BuCkSaTaN: blah
2:02:13 PM BuCkSaTaN: If I made their sandwiches, they’d sell out… no one would go to any of the other shops.
2:02:15 PM BuCkSaTaN: losers
2:03:44 PM Gary: they use to be really amazing
2:04:55 PM BuCkSaTaN: Hmm… I’ve given them two chances and they fucked it up both times. I might as well try to deep throat a loaf of bread down my gullet and wash it down with a can of Ragu.
2:05:06 PM Gary: haha
2:05:12 PM BuCkSaTaN: mmmm tasty… I know the chicken is in here somewhere!
2:05:20 PM Gary: i use to go there when i worked in that area
2:05:22 PM BuCkSaTaN: Amongst the debris
2:05:35 PM Gary: the sandwiches were huge and stuffed with meat
2:05:36 PM BuCkSaTaN: Lemme sift through the mound of peppers and onions…. vomit
2:05:48 PM BuCkSaTaN: nope… nothing there
2:05:54 PM Gary: you’d get like 3 huge peices of veal on there
2:06:06 PM Gary: guess those where the good old days
2:06:15 PM Gary: that’s a shame
2:06:26 PM BuCkSaTaN: I’ll try them one more time… and say, listen asshole… I want… one piece of veal… a bun, some tomato and mayo… because apparently you have no idea how to make sauce.
2:06:48 PM Gary: happens when places get to making alot of money, then the quality drops
2:06:51 PM Gary: haha
2:06:52 PM BuCkSaTaN: bah
2:07:17 PM Gary: i remember it different and it wasn’t heavy sauced either.
2:07:18 PM BuCkSaTaN: I can make my own sandwiches and actually enjoy them without eating through a mountain of eggplant to find the meat.
2:07:27 PM Gary: gross
2:07:29 PM Gary: haha
2:07:33 PM BuCkSaTaN: This shit can stand on it’s own if they dumped it out of the pot.
2:07:44 PM Gary: i’d always get the chicken parm or veal parm and have to ask for extra sauce
2:07:51 PM BuCkSaTaN: It’s like dude… THICK sauce isn’t good. It’s like drinking a glass of congealed tomato juice.
2:08:03 PM Gary: hahaha
2:08:06 PM BuCkSaTaN: Learn how to use oil you pinheads
2:08:12 PM BuCkSaTaN: Not water
2:08:15 PM BuCkSaTaN: cheap bastards
2:08:21 PM Gary: sounds gross now
2:08:39 PM BuCkSaTaN: They’re a disgrace to the Italian community.
2:08:40 PM BuCkSaTaN: haha
2:08:48 PM Gary: hahaha
2:08:52 PM Gary: sheesh dude
2:09:00 PM Gary: it can’t have gone down hill that badly
2:09:05 PM BuCkSaTaN: a fuckin’ disgrace
2:09:07 PM Gary: haha
2:09:09 PM BuCkSaTaN: That’s all I’m gonna say
2:09:11 PM BuCkSaTaN: haha
2:09:24 PM BuCkSaTaN: To me, it’s like your new york experience
2:09:54 PM Gary: sweet veal
2:10:06 PM BuCkSaTaN: haha well, that makes sense to me tho…
2:10:45 PM Gary: well how about i get you a sweet coffee buddy
2:10:54 PM Gary: oh what?!? you wanted sugar?!?
2:11:15 PM Gary: we call that a sweet sugar coffee
2:11:32 PM BuCkSaTaN: There’s only two types of veal sang-weeges man… a “sweet” or (normal) veal and a hot veal..
2:11:33 PM Gary: we changed the meaning of sweet. it now means, plain with nothing on it
2:11:38 PM BuCkSaTaN: hahaha
2:11:52 PM Gary: sorry for the confusion

Bad Day on the Midway

File:Bad Day on the Midway Coverart.png

Back in the 90s, “CD-ROMS” meant full length films on disk (the size of a thumbnail, mind you) and artists like Laurie Anderson and The Residents putting out some of the best digital content since the invention of the internet. I owned a few of these multimedia experiences like, Comic Book Confidential and my favorite Bad Day on the Midway.

I guess the reason I’m posting this is that given my usual gripe about digital content being little more than an ephemeral memory, I can’t seem to find a fix or patch to get Bad Day working on OSX. So much for retrofitting and backwards compatibility.

If anyone out there has an idea, I’d love to revisit these great bits of history, instead of seeing them as nothing more than coasters.

Amateur Hour

While I am not perfect when it comes to publishing my blog, the blogger movement at large has created a great deal of useless information. (I know, huge surprise…) One of the major problems with the internet in general is the immediacy of it. Unlike print publishing, all you have to do is click “publish” in your favorite blogging interface and walk away. Fix it later, when you catch the mistakes, right? Or even better – use the public as your proof reader. Reading blogs is like slogging through a massive fan-zine bin. Perhaps one day, some industrious programmer can develop a web app that “translates” some nitwit’s blog from unreadable dross to a concise, informative document. Google? Any plans for this?

Have a look at this excerpt from a “web designer” tip source blog. Is it really that laborious to type two more letters to finish words like “you” or use a fucking spell check? This type of lazy writing raises my hackles. I’m not even going to attack the grammar. Jesus… I’d pick the entire paragraph apart, but we’d be here all day.

It is the most important part which we neglect while publishing a post. Lets take a simple example. I am about ot publish a post lets say.
10 Awesome Graphics Designs and Digital Artworks  the URL would be :

www.yoursite.com/category/10-awesome-graphics-designs-and-digital-artworks
Seems pretty much alright, right? Well..here u miss about 30% of your visibility!!
A simple reason using STOP WORDS in title and URL are the worst idea u can think up of. !! AND is a stop word. About the url why make it so long using extra stuff in it like the word 10 , and etc. Trust me no one will search for your content in search engines with these words 10 graphics design.  If they look for that they will search graphics designs etc.
So get rid of 10 , and from your URL. Here is how they should be:
