project prevention

this is a great idea. paying drug addicts to go on long term or permanent birth control? frankly, i think it's brilliant. i'm all for encouraging drug addicts to not have kids, at least until they have kicked the habit...i'm sure most drug addicts are just not responsible enough, financially or otherwise, to have kids. it can physically mess up the kid at birth, and mess them up mentally if they're raised in a house where the parent(s) are on drugs. if they choose to keep having sex, it's probably best for them and for society if they are not reproducing. and, paying them to take this responsible step...the cynic in me knows that many peope are not going to be very likely to get birth control without some sort of external reason. really, i can't think of anything that would do the trick better than money.

stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuud! (or, a five-card loser.)

so, kickboxer is on spike tv right now. that in itself is not very amusing. what's amusing are the little segments that spike is throwing in before commercial breaks. (if you read this before 10:30 central time, you should turn on spike tv now!) for this movie, they've got the two hosts, the beer-guzzling-manly-man-type and the ditzy-hot-blonde type, playing five card stud with a celebrity guest.

the celebrity guest is scott stapp.

an extremely high scott stapp.

this is absolutely priceless. most of it i can't do justice to here, just because most of the humour is in the high-as-a-kite mannerisms of mr. stapp. but, there have been a couple of quotables...and by quotable, i mean you will either giggle or bang your head against the desk when you read them.

male announcer: "so, we're going to play some five card stud..."
stapp: "STUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUD!!!"

and

male announcer: "do you like las vegas?"
stapp: "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...." (theoretically this should at least end in a mumbled yes or no. it did not. he said the longest "uhhh" i've ever heard, and then eventually proceeded to start trash talking the announcers about how he is going to beat them at poker.)

and

male announcer: "most dreaded father-son conversation: where babies come from, or what's a groupie?"
stapp: "well, my son thinks babies come from my sack..."

how the mighty have fallen.
