    I also laughed at the TFAs, with the picture of the Vodka and Red Bull on the other TFA...and what about those Jager-bombs?

    But, it could be another front on the war on energy drinks. Google searching for "Red Bull kid death", looking for an article about how excessive energy drinks are causing health problems in kids, yields this first propaganda hit. But all it takes is one of these to get pusilanimous parents in an uproar.

    But I'll admit that those drinks are bad. They almost always but taurine and ginseng and other shit into them to increase the synergistic effects, and they taste like by-products from a meth lab.

    One of the TFAs also says that Sparks drinks have been discontinued, but they're still readily available in my state, and there's no shortage of them. But the worst(best?) one is Joose.

  8. The TOW-TURE truck: on Two Earth-Sized Bodies With Oxygen-Rich Atmospheres · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Synopsis: The tow-ture truck is a vehicle operated by the fire department for the purpose of punishing those who work on their cars in public parking lots. It is driven by stoic surfer-dudes. It has an inverted bed on the back which is full of instruments of torture as well as a robot arm to pull people under for punishment.

    Tow-ture truck operator :

    This is the tow-ture truck.

    [ Two men are tending to a beat-up Chevy Nova in a public parking lot. One of them is under the rear, fixing it, and one is standing to the side of the pickup. The tow-ture truck operator attaches the winch hook to the rear bumper. The man standing to the side of the Nova graps the cable and begins to spin it. When the cable is spun quickly, it smears to the various shapes of the hydrogen wave function when seen from above. ]

    Tow-ture truck operator :

    First, don't spin my cable,
    which is a solution to
    the partial differential equations
    schroedinger knew

    the direction field follows
    a blurry twist
    which is why, if you can't see it,
    it dosen't exist.

    [ The winch on the tow-ture truck begins to pull the Nova upwards as the man under it, previously oblivious to the spectacle, says, "what the hell?" as a robot arm extends from under the tow-ture truck and grabs him by is ankle. He is being pulled under the tow-ture truck, enclosed on all sides by metal walls and the ground below. he is trapped under the towture truck when it begins to move slowly... ]

    Tow-ture truck operator :

    next, we back over you
    till you're under the bed
    if you cant keep up, the motorized tailgate
    will crush your head.

    as long as you keep crawling,
    I'll go slow enough for you,
    but if we vent the coolant plugs
    we may turn you to stew.

    One more thing --
    there's no way...you can crawl out the sides,
    50 Kilovolt volt lightning rods

    There are an awful lot of the wackos in my supposedly progressive home state of California.

    Almost every car on the highway has a Not Of This World" sticker if not the bootleg sticker of Calvin praying next to a cross*. Those assholes always come out of the woodwork when dumbshit Nazis like Reagan or either Bush become elected president. Remember, the anti-gay-marriage prop 8 (which I voted against) passed here and other "save marriage" battles are being fought(often lost) in other states as well.

    The boyfucking Catholics have deep historical roots in California. Additionally, plenty of border-jumping spics are all idolatrous Catholics who don't believe in birth control and so they propagate like cockroaches. Same goes for those weirdo brainwashed Mormons. The more intelligent heathens are less likely to breed and so the outlook here ain't good. Also -- Google the Louisiana Science Education act and shit bricks. My state and my country fucking disgust me.


    *tangent: that fucking sticker makes me furious. Calvin was probably the biggest influence on my childhood and seeing that sticker is like experiencing a repressed memory of being buttfucked by a priest!

    The only people who are willing to waste the time to understand Drupal enough to use it are those who are stuck chasing buzzwords for a living. Even the preface of the O'reilly book alludes to that.

    Read the summary and a few of the comments below. You'd get better, quicker results from coding your own HTML/PHP/CSS around a crude template...and that's pretty sad considering that the first hit for a Google of "Drupal themes" yields this:

    "This theme saved me at 2am. Three hours of messing with 1000+ lines of nasty Garland-adapted code later, I abandoned it and recoded the site as a Zen sub-theme in under an hour. Thank you, thank you, thank you. - Greg "

    'Nuff said, asshole.

  20. Drupal Sux on Drupal Multimedia · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Drupal sucks balls. It's very counterintuitive for something that claims to be simple and modular. Behaviors are inconsistent across themes, half of the available themes are broken, TFS is right about Drupal not supporting jack shit right off the bat. Enabling the modules requires manual downloads and dependency hells. The notion of using the site as you build it is shit, and using an "admin theme" just causes trouble because of the inconsistent behaviors across themes. Even its own advocates recommend just writing your own PHP and CSS.
