The only item you will need that you cant find in stores is cocaine. All the others you can find at any grocery store. The best way to get cocaine, if you don't have a dealer, is to talk to a hooker. They have the hook up.Items needed:1.Cocaine2.Arm & Hammer Baking Soda3.The I.Q. higher then a household plant.

Just in case.

Losing the city of New Orleans is certainly devastating and tragic... The builders of that city must not have read the three little pigs.
But, Hell, I'll bet the Japanese must be damn jealous. They've been dreaming of something like this to happen to them for decades. We've managed to one up them. We need to follow through though, and waste no time in building NEO-ORLEANS. There will be people living in Hovering Shanties above the Toxic Gumbo! Voodoo priests commanding armies of Aquatic Zombies! Mardi Gras will look like something out of Waterworld, and there will be Psychedelic Cajun Drugs! There will be Mutants speaking Creole! They will rename the SuperDome, Thunderdome!

New Orleans was great, but I think NEO-ORLEANS will be fantastic!

We reported last night on the cause of Hurricane Katrina -- at least in the eyes of an antiabortion group called Columbia Christians for Life. The storm, the group says, is God's way of punishing Louisiana for having 10 abortion clinics.
Well, at least that's what the Columbia Christians for Life were saying yesterday. We've just received another e-mail from the group, and now it seems to be saying that God sent Katrina after Louisiana to prevent Southern Decadence, an annual gay-themed bash that was scheduled for Labor Day weekend in New Orleans.

Had to see that was coming...
I wonder which country we're going to go to war with for to avenge No Orleans.

Roughly the size of a disposable lighter, the Bluetooth Virtual Laser Keyboard leverages the power of laser and infrared technology to project a full-size qwerty keyboard onto any flat surface.

Pricey for what it does, but neat idea. I wonder how well it works.

I am in my local music store at least once a week. I don't play any instruments to speak of, but I have a lot of friends who work there, and the general atmosphere is a blast to be in and around.

If you've ever been in a medium-to-large music store in your life, one of the things you've probably seen is the "I / We Need Talent" table, where bands will post notices or leave flyers asking guitarists or bass players or drummers to call them up and audition. I make a habit of checking out that table at the store quite frequently, and am usually greeted with your standard "Bass Player Looking For Hard Rockin' Band" flyer or "Band Needs Stick Man" card.

But one day, I walked in and was greeted by a pile of about 18 VHS video tapes sitting on the table (apparently it started with 25, but some eager folks had taken a few already). Each one was labeled simply "Rock Singer Audition" on the long side with a piece of masking tape. That's it. Just "Rock Singer Audition". I asked my buddies about them and they began cracking up, telling this harrowing tale about the guy who brought them in and how he kept loudly announcing his intentions of being a rock star. They insisted I take one of his "Audition" tapes and check it out.

So I did. And within seconds after hitting "Play" on my VCR, I KNEW this stuff had to be shared with everyone on the planet. EVERYTHING about this video rules. The mullet hanging out of the back of the trucker hat, the fact that he's topless and occasionally forgets the lyrics (and must read them from an index card), the chinese zodiac calendar hanging on the wall, just below the window dressing - BUT THERE'S NO WINDOW... And the music! IT RAWKS!
