Ok, now that I have spent the last two hours struggling with Facebook Connect and it’s bullshit I have a couple things to say.
1. F U.
2. AAAARRRGGGGHHHH
3. Ok. I get it, I don’t understand how any of these things work but I know how to follow directions and it still no worky.

Just put the Google and the Facebook Connectors on the site. Thanks to the Willis for helping. Things on the web get really easy when there are different levels of nerds to help

I am thankful for the nerds I have. I understand, I have a blog that is called MeowSplash.com and that makes me a nerd too. That’s the thing with nerds, there are nerd specializations and you can be a nerd in one thing but not another.

Examples you say? Well, I would never consider myself a gamer nerd and I make fun of the gang here for it all the time. But I am a Baseball nerd – I mean I read at least 3-5 baseball books a year. Big ones at that.

The moral of the story? Everyone has their nerd in them. It’s just a matter of finding what makes them nerd out.

Great! Just Great- How my baseball season was ruined before it started

Steroid skeleton of lanosterol. The total numb...

If you are a sports fan you probably already heard that Alex Rodriguez has tested positive for steroids. Out-fucking-standing!

Baseball is so good at dragging itself through the mud. From Cocaine, to owners collusion and labor issues baseball continues to try and fuck itself over. Now, it has gone and done it again.  Some asshat leaked the supposed anonymous tests from 2003 that Rodriguez juiced.

Now we’re all stuck with years of listening to knuckle head fans bitch about how the game is tainted and all that jazz.  As a Yankee fan I now have ten more years of Alex Rodriguez on my team.  The 2009 season that had so much promise is now entirely in jeopardy.  It’s just going to suck.  I have to listen to Michael Kay bitch about A-Rod.  I hate him and I hate it.  It’s entirely sucky.  I’m just sick today.

Back In the Saddle – MeowSplashing it Up

The Evil V Train in the Wild
The Evil V Train in the Wild

Just had the boss man in town for a few days.  Not bad,  not bad.  We chilled we talked normal work business.  Fairly happy about it.  Right,  that’s not interesting though.  I’ll tell you what is.

I HAVE A REAL NEMESIS

You are dying to know what it is?  It is not a person,  not an animal and not even something you can kill.  It is a thing and that thing is the V train! If you don’t live in Brooklyn on the F line this won’t mean anything to you but if you do,  you KNOW EXACTLY what I mean.  Anytime you are in Manhattan waiting desperately to get back to cozy, olde towne Brooklyn on the old Culver Avenue line (That’s the F for you historical luddites) the Goddamn V comes.

NO ONE IS IN IT

The V is an evil empty train that comes by and laughs at you.  I think actually,  it should have a Swastika on it because that is what it makes me feel like when it rumbles in,  and rumbles away.  It’s like being punched in the face and laughed at.  How the MTA in NYC can get away with that train running and propose transit cuts is beyond me.  I just don’t know who’s bung hole got licked to get that service set up.  If the V had a physical representation it would be a mangy-dirty-rabies-infested cat.  I would love to MeowSplash that Ratty V train cat!  To the Gowanus with you V train!

In the immortal words of Al Goldstein while doing his best work on ‘Midnight Blue‘  — Hey V train,  FUCK YOU!
