We’re Almost Cyborgs!

Some people have been harassing me to update. Those people must not be long time readers, because if they were, they’d know my sporadic O.C.D. dictates what I do on any given month. You see, I had a little extra cash and bought my PS3 back. Throw in the fact that my Blackberry died, and I was forced to buy an iPhone, one could say I’ve been a bit distracted.

In fact, it got me thinking, all this new technology is starting to desensitize me.

Back in 2001, having a Nintendo 64, a website,  Napster, and a pager meant I was on the cutting edge technology. If my teenage self was introduced to a fucking iPhone, my brain may have exploded. Yet, now this shit hardly phases me.

Fucking Sony is releasing this Sony Entertainment Network. They say I can listen to music, watch movies, and play games!

Sony, it’s almost 20 fucking 12. I can start my fucking car, record my tv shows, and find a list of drug dealers within a 5 mile radius just by using my phone, you really think I need more shit to play fucking music and watch movies from??

Nothing seems to impress me anymore. You got a 3D Tv? That’s cool, call me when I don’t have to wear ugly, clunky glasses with it, then I MIGHT show a faint sign of interest. When you got some Virtual Reality shit going on, I promise you, I’ll be there!

What? You have an iPad?? Gee, that’s pretty cool that you have a $900 piece of equipment that  does the EXACT same thing as my laptop and phone! When you can turn my wall into a fucking iPad, then we’ll talk! That’s what I want, a fucking wall that I can just control without even touching it….you know, like in that movie The Gamer (and countless other movies which names I can’t think of).

So many pointless gadgets…by the way, how’s the fucking cure for cancer going?

Is there an app for that?

This is just the beginning too. Fuck, what happens when Siri, and Watson (you know, that fucking robot that was whooping that ass on Jeopardy!) finally hook up? Suddenly, The Terminator isn’t Fiction anymore!  Who knows, maybe someone from the future was sent back to take out Steve Jobs before that happened (too soon?).

My favorite part is how this shit is supposed to make us more efficient! I would like to know who these people are! It certainly isn’t my fucking employees, who can’t put down their damn phones for more than 2 minutes to do their fucking jobs!

Oh! I know who it’s helping!

Teenagers!

Now, instead of texting, teenage boys and girls can now FACETIME and SKYPE all night. The amount of teenage boobs floating through cellular signals is a pedophiles wet dream!

I know one thing for sure, I don’t want anyone Facetiming my ass! Most of my phone calls are taken while I’m on the can!

You don’t need to see that!

Throw in the fact that I’m not exactly fond of the idea of looking at your ugly mug on the phone either. If I wanted to see you, I would come to you. The only usefulness to it is when I call to find out where the fuck you’re at, because you were supposed to meet me 20 minutes ago!

Where the fuck you at?

Poor old people, most can’t even figure out how to turn on a damn computer, let alone check their fucking email. They never stood a chance!

I saw on the news they made a flying car. It drives normally, but can take off in the air within 30 seconds.

Too bad it looked like a retard reject from the movie Cars! Like they took a fucking hoopty from the hood and glued some fucking wings on it.

Where the fuck is my Jetson shit??

“Meet Ed Philly….”

Before you know it, we’ll all have microchips under our skin, all our shit will be voice controlled, and eventually, our computers will turn all our nuclear weapons on us. When it happens, you can find me up on the highest mountain left standing!

I’ll be the guy yelling, “I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO! FUCKING IPHONES!! YA’LL SUCK!”…

Right before I’m brutally murdered by robots!

I want to start off by saying how EXTREMELY rare it is for me to give shout outs to people. The fact that I just loathe people in general should really emphasize the amount of love I have for the blogs listed here.

You’re probably wondering why I’m even bothering with this post if I have such a dislike for people, so let me explain.

To keep my brain busy last night, I thought it would be an awesome idea to build a Twitter Bot. My intention wasn’t to spam people, but mainly I was just doing it so I could say I did. The bots primary function is to track down every tweet involving the words “Read My Blog”, and retweeting it. The ultimate goal being to help the blogging community spread the word of their site, and maybe even attract some new visitors.

Well, the bot has been cranking out some solid retweets of blog posts all day, and I have read a solid 80% of them, and wow, almost all of them are fucking AWFUL!

Reading all those blog posts made me realize how lucky I am to have a solid group of blogs in my bookmarks. While a few are fairly common, some are counting down the days to a major traffic explosion. I figured, with all the crap out there, I should really take a moment to show people all the great content they may be missing out on.

With that, I give you the Six Blogs You Should Be Reading:

In no particular order….

BlueZer0 – While it may come off as hokey at first, if you really take the time to dig through the history of this site, you’ll realize how hilarious, and crazy these guys are. Run by The Fat Kid, and figurehead, Decanus Picto, BlueZer0 reports on the supernatural, and UFO activity happening in the heart of Columbus, Ohio. Personally, I think some of the work they’ve been pushing out the past few months has been some of their best, but once again, you have to dig into their history a bit to really get some of their subtle humor. It’s funny, informative, and updated regularly every Sunday. Make sure you add them to your bookmarks!

The Bloggess – There’s not much need to plug this one, as The Bloggess is probably the Queen of the internet right now, and absolutely deserves it. Her posts are some of the funniest I’ve ever read, and the blog is updated frequently. If you ignore every other link in this post, I urge you to check this one out if you’ve never had the chance to read it. I promise you will not be disappointed!

OutNumbered – While it’s not updated as much as it used to be, this was probably the blog I read the most in 2010. A blog about a father in a house full of women, the posts on this blog are intelligent, and extremely entertaining. Not sure if he’s currently stuck in a rut, or if lifes gotten too busy for him, but this is a blog I’ve begged to make a comeback. Despite the lack of updates, the archives will certainly keep you entertained for weeks!

All Fooked Up – Not only does the name crack me up, the blog is jam packed with solid content. Funny, smart, and well written, if you can honestly read this blog and not find something to like, you obviously have no soul!

Kid Free Living – I really can’t say enough good things about this one. Run by kick ass web designer, Amy Vansant, who also happens to be one of my favorite tweeters, this site is just fun to read! Her blog mainly consists of humors stories, social media reviews, and my personal favorite…booze! It’s updated regularly, and is always well worth the read.

Just Making Convo – This one has me laughing my ass off every fucking time. Her post Friends For Life… deserves a fucking award! Maybe it’s the combination of bitchiness, sarcasm, and wit that makes me such a huge fan, all I know for sure though is this blog is quickly working it’s way to my personal #1 favorite!

Well, there it is, the best of the fucking best! I hope you take a few moments to check out some, if not all of these blogs. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised!

My Day As A Juggalo

 Posted by edphilly at 8:14 pm
Nov 062011
 

After yesterdays post about the Juggalo gangs, and the fascinating explanation from Mr. Joker Smiles, I was left concerned. Was I was judging the Juggalos too harshly? I mean, I’ve never walked a mile in Juggalo shoes, could there be more to them than just face paint and Faygo?

I knew I couldn’t sleep until I got to the bottome of this, so I came up with the only plan 12 beers could conjure me up: I had to infiltrate the Juggalo gang by any means neccesary!!

I ran to the nearest store, bought all the white and black face paint I could and…..


Ed Philly As A Juggalo

While it would appear that I could easily blend in with any Juggalo gang, one thing I had observed from the Joker Smiles video was his total disregard for hygiene. To become a highly respected member of the Juggalo community, I had to dirty myself up a bit. I figured a solid workout should produce enough sweat, and stink to let me pass, but after 3.5 pushups, I had an epiphany! It’s obvious the Juggalos don’t exercise, so what if I just doused myself in Faygo?? The stickiness should attract enough dirt that I could pass as a Juggalo in no time!

After pouring 3 bottles of Faygo over my head, and rolling around in the dirt, I really started to feel like I was making progress in learning the Juggalo way of life! The next problem though, was my wardrobe. Juggalos aren’t really known for rocking PJ’s and a white shirt everywhere they go! Luckily, the local thrift store had tons of beat up black shirts, and a surprising amount JNCO jeans in stock. I decided to go the extra distance, and added a chain to my wallet which really added the pizazz I needed to complete my new look.

I was ready, or so I thought!

Sure, I was rocking a look that could win over any Juggalette (that’s a female Juggalo), but I wasn’t exactly sure how the Juggalos acted. I quickly grabbed my computer, and began searching all the popular Juggalo websites. There had to be some clues on there as to how they socialize. I knew found what I was looking for when I read…

A true Juggalo will enforce their authority over all lesser, and weaker minded creatures!

With that, I threw on my Vans, and rushed to the closest ally I could find, and did exactly what the Juggalo website commanded.

I scared me a kitty!


scared kitten

I scared that kitty good!

Now…I knew I was ready!

After a solid session of scaring kittens, I made my way back home. I figured my next move would be to join a Juggalo forum, and let them embrace their newest member! The forum was actually kind of creepy. It was filled with dark colors, freaky pictures, and some of the nastiest porn I’ve ever seen. Despite my overall disgust, I HAD to finish what I started, I had already come so far! I manned up, and made my introduction post. Afterwards, I sat back and waited for them to shower me with their love.

The result wasn’t exactly what I was expecting….

After about 10 minutes, the other members of the Juggalo community must’ve known something was up, as threats to hurt me suddenly began to fill my welcome thread! It turns out, Juggalos aren’t very nice to each other!

WHY THE FUCK DIDN’T IT SAY THAT ON ALL THE WEBSITES I READ??

Unfortunately, my time there was limited, as somehow, my cover was blown! One of the members, whose avatar suggested they were THE MOST highly respected Juggalo, not only found my website, but also my Facebook page, and occupation. I was kinda sad he didn’t post my Twitter name (@ephilly), but oh well. With that, I knew the end was near.

Just when I was expecting them all to turn on me, they did something that really blew my mind…

They were nicer to me.

I didn’t get it, suddenly I’m being showered in gifts of free porn, and being welcomed properly. It kinda freaked me out a bit. I didn’t mind that they were racists, or bigots, or Nazis, but according to all the other threads in that forum, it is a MAJOR violation to be polite and considerate to ANYONE!

ESPECIALLY A NOOB!

With that, I felt it was time to end my Juggalo reign. While I could accept their make up, lack of hygiene, excessive and use of the “N” word, the one thing I just couldn’t get past is their total hypocrisy.

I stepped away from the computer, took a shower, burned those god awful clothes, apologized to the kitty that I spent HOURS harassing, and called it a day! The only thing left is the 25+ bottles of Faygo left in my fridge…not sure what I’m going to do with all that, it was kind of an impulse buy!

In the end, I’m more confused about the Juggalo way than ever before, which can only mean…

I finally understand what it’s like to be a true Juggalo!

 

The FBI declaring Juggalos a gang may be the most sad, and hilarious thing I’ve heard all week. Last time I checked, Juggalos were a bunch of retarded hillbillies and wannabe posers who acted tough, but in reality, were a bunch of giant pussies stealing their sisters make up, and living in their moms basements.

If you ask the FBI though, this is what they have to say:


The Juggalos, a loosely-organized hybrid gang, are rapidly expanding into many US communities although recognized as a gang in only four states, many Juggalos subsets exhibit gang-like behavior and engage in criminal activity and violence law enforcement officials in at least 21 states have identified criminal Juggalo subsets, according to NGIC reporting

Most crimes committed by Juggalos are sporadic, disorganized, individualistic, and often involve simple assault, personal drug use and possession, petty theft, and vandalism however, open source reporting suggests that a small number of Juggalos are forming more organized subsets and engaging in more gang-like criminal activity, such as felony assaults, thefts, robberies, and drug sales social networking websites are a popular conveyance for Juggalo sub-culture to communicate and expand.

Wait, Juggalos are getting more organized? I couldn’t believe it, so i decided to go straight to the source, and find out what a REAL Juggalo thought about the situation…

Disclaimer: The following video is just fucking awful…and really fucking long. By no means do I expect anyone to sit through the full 10 minutes of this video. In fact, I recommend you don’t watch the full thing. Hell, I’ll be impressed if you can sit through 3 minutes. You’ve been warned.


Well, that was absolutely no help at all. Turns out not even the fucking Juggalos know what the fuck they are. Hell, by this dudes definition, not only am I NOT a Juggalo, but I also AM a Juggalo.

That’s fucking deep, man!

I’m gonna be honest though, if I see three morons coming at me in clown make up trying to jump me, the FIRST thing I’m going to do is tell them I’m calling their moms! I imagine that should atleast scare off one of them. I will then proceed to mock the other two until they cry. I say we put up the Juggalos against the Crips, and see how that “gang war” turns out. I don’t care how much Faygo the Juggalos are packing, odds are they’re going down pretty quick.

At the end of the day, if you’re dumb enough to put on clown make up, and listen to two 40 year old morons who ARE STILL rapping about smoking pot, and fucking my mom, you deserve to be mocked. It’s just fucking SAD!

 

Like millions of people around the world, I’m a strong supporter of Twitter. Depending on who you are, it can actually be used for multiple reasons. People use it to push their products, make funny jokes, and even find new friends. For me personally, I just enjoy saying what’s on my mind at random times of the day, or making fun of the elderly at the grocery store. The harsh reality of Twitter though is you’re nothing without a solid group of followers. The more you have, the more super fucking awesome you believe you are. This lead to the birth of several websites promising to promote your tweets, and build followers. One of those sites is Favstar

Overall, it’s actually a nifty little site. I can make tweets from there for people who aren’t following me to read, and it even allows the people on Twitter to compete in how popular their tweets really are by the site tracking Favorites, and retweets for each tweet. While it really is pretty cool….it’s making people go a little crazy.

I’m noticing FavStar is quickly turning into crack for Twitter. People lately have become so obsessed with getting as many stars as possible, that their flooding my fucking Twitter Feed, resorting to begging people to “star” their lame ass tweets. I’ve seen some making about 5,000+ tweets a day. 4,987 of those tweets are them bitching that not enough people are starring them, or they are obviously not funny enough today. While the remaining 13 tweets they made actually weren’t that bad, I never see them because they’ve flooded my feed with so much bitching about no one giving you any love for them.

I know damn well that not all my tweets are going to be awesome, that’s just the way it is. Just because 100 people didn’t star my damn tweet, doesn’t mean that 3-4 of them didn’t find some sort of amusement from it. I’m certainly not going to devalue that by announcing that my last tweet sucked. That’s just bad business.

In closing, if you happen to be one of those whiny tweeters I’m talking about here, please do me a favor…

Quit your fucking bitching!! I’m fairly sure there are things more important in your life than 100 strangers saying that one sentence you said was funny. If not….perhaps you need to join a gang. I hear the Juggalos are recruiting!

This is going to be one of those posts that leaves my inbox getting flooded with loyal fans thinking I’m a hater. It’s going to be like the Twilight thing all over again, but this needs to be said!

With the Big Bang Theory now in syndication, it’s being played on multiple channels during times when theres nothing else really on to watch anyway. On top of that, my 8 year old daughter has seemed to fall in love with the show, so if it’s not on due to us being distracted, and not changing the channel, it’s on because my daughter likes watching shows about nerds. I honestly gave the show a chance, and I won’t lie, it’s given me a chuckle here and there, but overall, the show annoys the shit out of me.

I think the part that bothers me the most is, I can’t understand how the 2 nerdy main characters, who are apparently brilliant, and have made huge scientific discoveries, have to live in such a shitty little apartment. Not only do they live in a shitty apartment, but they can’t afford to live in this shitty apartment without a roommate. Meanwhile, the hot blonde across the hall, who works at the fucking Cheesecake Factory seems to get by just fine living in her apartment on her own.

Shouldn’t these guys be millionaires? I just can’t believe two brilliant minds with such high profile jobs, and accolades are too dumb to figure out their own finances and live on their own.

That, and Sheldon is annoying as shit, and should be beaten profusely on a daily basis. How anyone can tolerate this guys is beyond me.

Am I all alone on this one? Someone PLEASE back me up here!

Zombie Tapdance vs. Blue Zer0

 Posted by edphilly at 2:08 pm

To anyone who wasn’t aware, I recently completed design work for the new Zombie Tapdance website. Zombie Tapdance is Columbus Ohio’s newest Photography, and Video Production company, run by the uber awesome Bogusflip.

Well, it seems the guys over at Blue Zer0 got a little jealous of all the attention the new Zombie Tapdance was getting, and decided to expand upon their business of reporting about UFO’s, and the supernatural, by making their own Photography, and Video Production company.

Yesterday, Blue Zer0 made an official statement declaring war against Zombie Tapdance. Zombie Tapdance simply responded with, “Bring It!”.

Personally, I think Blue Zer0 should stick to what they do best, which is tracking UFO’s, worshiping dollys, and sacrificing goats to goddesses who have a striking resemblance to my wife NomieHomie, and leave the production stuff to the professionals at Zombie Tapdance Productions.

However, I have a feeling this feud is just getting started…

Oct 312011
 

According to the experts, the American economy is in the shitter. Unemployment is at record highs, and many Americans are struggling to get by. If that’s the case, I would assume people who actually have jobs would be grateful to be getting a paycheck.

Apparently, that’s not the case.

For me specifically, I have a constant struggle keeping my work staffed. It’s not that I don’t have an adequate amount of people, it’s just they never fucking show up to work! Then I fire them, and they cry, “Oh, I got kids to feed, bills to pay…”.

THEN SHOW UP TO FUCKING WORK!

Am I wrong here? I didn’t realize I was running a fucking charity!

Despite my personal issues, there’s another major problem the employed are having, and that’s their fucking attitude. I’m not much of complainer when it comes to those in customer service. When I go to the gas station, I honestly prefer you not to be full of sunshine and fucking rainbows. All I need is to get in, and get out as quick as possible with as little chit chat as possible. Yet, what’s been happening a lot lately is I’ve been getting blown off by several cashiers, and attendants.

Today, I go into a Speedway to grab some smokes. The place is empty, yet I have to wait 3 minutes and 45 seconds for the cashier (who knows I’m in there) to get off their ass in the office and come help me out. I’m a business man, the first thing I was taught was without customers, your service is obsolete. Why the fuck do I have to wait for you to quit playing on Facebook to come ring me up? I didn’t realize I could get a job at Speedway and get paid to sit on my fucking ass all day! Sounds like a great business model!

Yesterday, I’m buying my birthday recliner from Big Lots. I spend about 15 minutes deciding what I wanted. No employee came to check on me. Normally, I’m okay with that, I’ll find you when I need you, but the problem was, there was no one to be found when I actually needed to be rung up. By the time I actually did find someone, they blew me off to help someone who had just walked in, and then disappeared again. I actually had to go to a different department, and drag an employee over to help me out.

People should be happy they have a job, and if you have a job, even one you hate, atleast try to excel at it.

The problem is, everyone wants to bitch about shit, and have everything handed to them as opposed to going out and doing an honest days work. I say we get a time machine, and bring back all those hard working blue collar guys from the 50′s and 60′s to show this new generation how the fuck shit should get done!

I’m done with people complaining about wanting an IPad, or a new car…

Fuck you, go work for it…and I mean do legitimate WORK!

Sure, I bitch about shit I want too, but I know that when my ass can afford it, that’s when I deserve it. I gave up my PS3 2 years ago for that reason. Trust me, I REALLY FUCKING WANT MY PS3 BACK, but when I can buy one without risking losing my electricity, or running out of food, or gas, then I’ll get it back.

Quit being fucking lazy, America! You want a fancy ass house, go fucking do something about it! Get a job, hell, get 2 jobs! That’s one thing I don’t see enough of now a days! I worked 2 jobs for YEARS!!

In closing, next time so see some chump bumming cigarettes, or money, and bitching about all the things they don’t have, do me a favor and tell them Ed Philly says, “FUCK YOU! FUUUUCCCKKKK YOOOOUUUUU!”, and give em the finger!

I’m So Fucking Sick Of….

Occasionally I get frustrated with things, and since 4 therapists have asked me never to return, I now unleash my angst (fun word) on the internet. If I don’t I explode…anally.

Here is a break down of things I am sick of, enjoy!

I’m so fucking sick of….

-My dog showing off her ability to scoot her butt on the carpet, knowing I am not capable of doing it too! Why does she get to scoot on the carpet to scratch her ass, and I gotta use my hand? What the fuck?

-Fox continuously ignoring my requests to bring back “Parker Lewis Can’t Lose”. Fuck you, Fox! Like The X-Factor is really going to bring in ratings!

-Waking up to find out someone drank all my beer…and then realizing it was me. Damn you, Me from the PAST! *SHAKES FIST*

-The store manager at Speedway always trying to pry in my shit! “How’s you’re day?”. None of your fucking concern, lady! Now ring up my 60 beers and this Busted magazine so I can get drunk and laugh at retards who got busted by the police! The nerve of some people, I swear!

-People posting that picture of the fat chick on Facebook. You know, the whole Mermaid and the whale bullshit! People want to act like they care about big chicks on Facebook, but the reality is, you wanna push em down a hill just as bad as I do!

-People trying to tell me The Big Bang Theory is a good show. I just want to punch that Sheldon dude in the fucking face!!!

That concludes this edition of “I’m so Fucking Sick Of…”. Tune in next time, maybe I’ll be sick of you!

400 Pound Monkey Shit!

 Posted by edphilly at 7:49 pm
Oct 182011
 

If you’re new around here, let me catch you up to speed on a few important things to know about me and this websites.

1) I enjoy drinking….often excessively.
2) I enjoy cursing…..often excessively.

With that said, let’s talk about my new favorite grocery store, Kroger! You see, Kroger knows how to please a guy like me.

Do you know why?

It’s the only store I’ve been to where the alcohol section takes up a solid 45% of the store! It’s like a fucked up Willy Wonka Factory full of beer! Chocolate beer, fruity beer, nasty beer, German beer, beers with dogs playing poker on the label, they have it all covered. Not only that, but they have this super awesome feature, “BUILD YOUR OWN 6 PACK!”

OMG!

Do you have any idea how hard it is to build a 6 pack when a variety of 100 (possibly nasty) beers are sitting in front of you? With silly names like “Smelly Pig”, “Fat Viking”, “Drunk Ogre”, and “Natural Light”, it made it nearly impossible for me to choose! But choose I did, and if my beer choosing were anything like the end of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, one could say I chose……unwisely.

Thrilled to go home and try out my new brew, I hit up Blacknight, giddy as a school girl, to see if he wanted to have an official “Beer Tasting” session with me.

Together, he and I sat, while NomieHomie played bartender, filling our glasses, as we tried all 6 beers. The first one, Sweaty Betty (which I bought because I thought it was called Slutty Betty, and was greatly disappointed), was alright. Nothing special. We figured the rest of the beers could only get better.

400 Pound Monkey Beer

Stay Away From The Monkey

Then came the 400 Pound Monkey…

Let me tell you about 400 Pound Monkey….

This has to be the most DISGUSTING beer I have ever put in my mouth, and I’ve drank “211 Steel Reserves”!!

It was like….poisonous monkey farts going down my throat, with an after taste that lingers for a solid 2 hours. Suddenly we realize, we can’t finish this shit, but we certainly can’t waste it. Nothing else to do but to chug the damn thing.

Let me tell you something else about 400 Pound Monkey….NEVER ATTEMPT TO CHUG IT!

It took a lot of strength to consume that crap, but somehow we did it, and eventually made it to Purple Haze, which we drank while playing Purple Haze.

At the end of it all, we had an empty 6 pack, a slight buzz, and the stale taste of 400 Pound Monkey still lingering in our mouths. Makes me kind of happy I didn’t pick up “Smelly Pig”.
