My Brethren Missed a Sermon?
Hey there lampost, how's it going? - 2006-05-22

It started so innocently, really. A while ago, when i got my Easy-Bake oven for Christmas i tried to change my user name on MSN messenger to: "Proud Owner of an Easy-Bake oven". It said i couldn't have it. Now, not really a) caring about these things b) thinking about it too hard i figured either somehow, the name was already taken or my computer was acting up, as it is want to do. That was December, this is now. Following an odd little conversation with Kyla the other night, i attempted to change my name to: "Barry White for president". Again, it rejected it. Again, i didn't really think of it. When i got on this evening, though, Kyla (now Isaac Hayes for Veep) remarked how she couldn't get MSN to use the word president in the title. Weird, i said, neither can i. So we tried making our names just the word 'president'. No go. How odd. I retried my old 'Easy bake' idea and it still wouldn't accept it. Narrowed it down to the word 'owner'. Then the game began. We tried 'fuck': Not happening. We tried 'shit': Not a problem. We tried rectum and cock and rape and murder and testicle without any problem whatsoever. But just try and use the name Penis Messenger Whore and you're out of luck, jack. Half-an-hour or so later, we've got quite the list going on and it doesn't make a lot of sense to us.. or does it? You tell me. owner ~@}--,-'----~ And i'll concede: some of these words make sense. fuck, cunt, bitch? sure. they're all baddies. MSN, hotmail, microsoft? Alright. Registered trademarks. I'll even give you spam on that one, though it's not owned by them at all. But what pattern allows cannibis and pot but not grass? Criminal but not crime? Cock, dick and testicles but not penis? I'm not Richard Belzer or anything but this whole thing just smacks of conspiracy theory. I'm sure Kyla and i have triggered some sort of response up at the ol' pentagon, where a light (possibly coloured purple) is going off right this second that says the kids know too much. So if i 'disappear' in the next few days, be sure to save this entry on a back-up disk or two just to prove i knew. Okay? And, if you happen to want to try the game out yourself then by all means, do. Once you start, you get hooked. Like heroin. Which, incidentally, is a perfectly acceptable screen name.
