Joe Silence is not dead

singer/songwriter/musician, former IT wage slave, father of two, mother of fsckerz, master of poppets and all-around pain in the arse. some day i will smile.
in other news, i've been off FF the past few days cos i fell in the shower. *insert prison joke here*
messed up my back, left shoulder, right knee, severely pulled the muscle on the inside of my right thigh leading to the groin and also damned near gave myself a concussion. who the hell thought making the bathroom entirely from slippery tile graded to an undersized drain was a good idea? - Joe Silence is not dead
Duuuuuuuuuuude... hope you're on the mend - Johnny Worthington

Take care and mend quickly! - Kurt Starnes
oh noes. hope you're ok now. - AJ Batac

photos of and from a friend of mine. strange to think i'm actually slightly older than he is. i wonder if i would have any silver or white in my beard if i was to stop shaving? my dad didn't til his early 50s. - Joe Silence is not dead
Kuching, day 8: KFC here is basically just chicken-flavoured stool softener, apparently.
just cos you're my mother-in-law doesn't mean you have the right to "discipline" and otherwise brutalise/terrify my daughter, you insane old cow!
been taking loads of photos while here in Malaysia, also some in Singapore. plan on taking more, too. wish there was a way for me to put them up, but this is a borrowed laptop and i don't think sticking my software on here would be considerate.
i'll certainly put up plenty of good ones after my return, tho, so be forewarned: Uncle Silence will give his tedious slide show at month-end! - Joe Silence is not dead
might even be a few anti-glamour shots of myself. - Joe Silence is not dead
Kuching, day 5: hello again, and welcome to my sporadic ramble on life as a big fat American hiding out on Borneo.
my new diet of spicy food and tropical fruit has reduced my poops to flaming baby food napalm. - Joe Silence is not dead
everyone is coughing and staggering. everyone. everywhere. no one will admit they're sick, even the ones who can barely stand on their feet. - Joe Silence is not dead
the mosquitoes here leave HUGE red welts on your skin that linger for days on end. there is talk of a malaria outbreak. - Joe Silence is not dead
hot enough for ya? - T. Brent, technopeasant
just like Houston in late August with the air conditioning turned off...except with torrential downpours and wild dogs roaming the streets. - Joe Silence is not dead
seat belts are a foreign concept here, as is following the traffic laws and signals. additionally, it's been awhile since i've driven on the left-hand side or in a right-hand drive vehicle. CARS ARE TINY HERE. - Joe Silence is not dead
how do they react to the giant in their midst? - T. Brent, technopeasant
alot of staring. occasionally an insult in broken English. mostly i get alot of blatant stares. from groups, even...sometimes whole crowds. it's like they'd never seen a fat white guy 2 heads taller than they are. :P - Joe Silence is not dead
oops, wife just snuck a snap of me typing feverishly away on The One Bright Post Of Man. - Joe Silence is not dead
So... just how much is the Borneo Dept. of Tourism paying you for your promotional postings? - Mark Jepsen
HOOTERSTARE: frame 676 of the wedding reception photos, male guest making no effort to disguise the fact that he's checking out the bride's boobies.
no, it wasn't me doing the staring. - Joe Silence is not dead

we ended up getting a Panasonic Lumix camera...10 megapizel, Leica lens, runs off of 2 AA. seems okay so far, but i have yet to crack the manual. i like it well enough so far. - Joe Silence is not dead
*waves* good morning! :D - Yolanda

Kuching is the capitol of Sarawak, which is a state of eastern Malaysia on the NW end of Borneo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... had to fly over the far south end of the South China Sea in the strait between where S'pore is and the western edge of Borneo. quick flight compared to the rest of the journey! - Joe Silence is not dead
apparently the mosquitoes find my blood to be very tasty. worrisome cos this is the time of year for malaria! - Joe Silence is not dead

right now we just finished having some late breakie and are off to buy a camera cos WE LEFT OURS AT HOME! D'OH! - Joe Silence is not dead
*waves* - Yolanda
also, there should be a law that bulkhead seats automatically go to families/parents with children under 2 years of age, and NOT aging hipsters who like to recline fully and crush your toddlers half to death while blasting Madonna and Orbital on their earbuds. - Joe Silence is not dead
oh no Joe - VAL D.
i hope everyone is leading reletively drama-free lives here, i'll be back on intermittently from M'sia as possible. it's all about the love! "*HUGS* - Joe Silence is not dead
so, i'll be MIA for most (if not all) of the next 3 weeks. not going away for good, just heading off to the other side of the planet for a bit to alleviate my wife's homesickness and let our kids see their other grandparents.
i may post a few times before i depart tomorrow, but probly not much. - Joe Silence is not dead

How many baboons could you take in a fight? (armed only with a giant dildo) Quiz - The Oatmeal - http://theoatmeal.com/quiz...
How many baboons could you take in a fight? (armed only with a giant dildo) Quiz - The Oatmeal
Maybe two as long at their butts aren't involved. - Anika
It tells me I could take 55. LOL The last question? Awesome. - Anika
44 woot! Too funny, Anika. - R1CC1
I could take 37. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)
Thusly armed, there are few members of H. sapiens who would not be given all they could handle by only *one* adult male baboon. - Christopher A Carr
you laugh. this could happen. who's prepared? - Duane
i don't have a giant dildo, so i am pretty much doomed. - Joe Silence is not dead
A better tactic might be to bluff; attach the giant "marital aid" to your groin area, stand up tall, show your teeth, and make lots of noise. *OMG, that ugly hairless primate has an enormous pink penis! Run!* - Christopher A Carr
Or, you may find yourself with a few new female primate friends. - Victor Ganata
so what you're saying is i can't lose, right? - Joe Silence is not dead
Apparently I can do 53. I consider that successful. - tinypants - Hagitha of FF
I think that those baboons want to put that dildo on your...I would not fight with them, better run. - Fernando Bergamaschi
If pleasuring a female baboon with a giant dildo is a win, I guess you're right DS :D - Victor Ganata
46... and I agree about the last question. - Harold
any port in a storm, lads! - Joe Silence is not dead
It tells me 48. I call shenanigans on this. - Ha3rvey (Free hugs!)

The Beatles Never Broke Up...
"On Sept. 9, 2009 I experienced something that I still am having trouble believing happened to me. I came into the possession of a cassette tape containing a Beatles album that was never released. I dont expect you to believe what happened to me, I sure wouldn't, but thats why I grabbed the tape as proof that my experience was real." - Joe Silence is not dead from Bookmarklet
some silly-ass mash-ups here, but mostly pleasant to listen to. - Joe Silence is not dead
pretty nifty. I think they could have done a little better with the cover story. Rabbit hole? That one has been, uh, used. - Josh Haley
half of this sounds more like a redacted ELO album than an alternate universe mid-1970s Beatles album. - Joe Silence is not dead
well stated. I am on track 3 so far, but I can totally see that. - Josh Haley
too much Big Crunchy Drums and Filter Fun, for one. - Joe Silence is not dead

Alec Baldwin’s Daughter Gets Weezy Cake for Birthday, World Jealous | The Tripwire
"Yep. The title is true. Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin’s daughter Ireland asked for, and, more importantly, received a Lil’ Wayne monument of a cake for her birthday. Needless to say, the youngster is probably the coolest kid in her grade, or at least, shooting up the ranks of the middle school social ladder. Of course, its Hollywood so lil Ireland Basinger Baldwin can’t be on top forever, oh no, not with competition like Bruce Willis and Demi Moore’s daughter Tallulah, who was reportedly seen at the same Beverly Hills bakery ordering an Easy-E cake complete with fudge-sicle oozies and a chocolate jheri curl with double chocolate truffle oil Soul Glo…better let ya Soullll Glow." - Joe Silence is not dead from Bookmarklet
