I just realized that the contact form at the bottom of this page and on the about page doesn’t work. You can enter your name, email, and message, and press the button, but I never get your message. I tested it out twice last night and, while it’s supposed to send me an email, I didn’t get anything. No email. No message. Apologies to those of you who tried to use it in the past and never got a response from me. I promise I’m not an asshole. I didn’t ignore you. The form (along with my comments) broke when I changed servers in May. Let’s see if can’t fix it.
In other news, I took one of the Danish exchange students out to get sushi with Heather last night, and then we got beers with my old roomie. She had a great time. I’m so glad my friends came out. I think the best part was when Heather and I asked her how she and the rest of Denmark feel about W. She was a little hesitant at first but came clean when Heather and I told her she was probably with the two best people with which to discuss W’s shortcomings. Good times.
And then at the pub, former roomie and I got the true story of how one Danish motorcycle gang fired a rocket at a rival motorcycle gang. Not a pistol. Not some semi-automatic thing. Not even a grenade. (Do gangs use grenades?) And how many years did the guy who fired the rocket get? Sixteen. Sixteen years for firing a rocket at people!!!
addendum: i found a news clipping. the end of this article says:
In Denmark, Sweden and Norway, the two sides deployed rocket-propelled anti-tank grenades and AK-47 assault rifles in their battles.

dude, carrico, that guy is trippy. this might just be a hunch, but i'm thinking you should avoid him in social gatherings, and in general, all situations.

I worked with this guy that collected rockets, anti-tank, and anti-aircraft guns as a hobby. he would go to these "shoots" as he called them and people would fly around remote control planes and set out old cars for people to shoot at and blow up. He even had the t-shirt to prove it. Check it out: http://www.machinegunshoot.com/ I suggest taking a look at the pictures, pretty crazy stuff. The guy I knew lived in Colorado Springs, which makes it all the more terrifying. Apparently, as a law-abiding american citizen without a criminal record you too can purchase short range rockets, anti-aircraft guns, and more! so you don't even need to go to jail for 16 years....

Depending on who it was aimed at, sixteen years in the slammer might be worth it. I've always wanted to fire a rocket. Plus, think of all the books you could read!
