Yurkos song of the day: The Party's Over (Hopelessly In Love)- by Journey

"So the cosmic circus moves along, its tiniest clown gone to rejoin it once again."

Too true Tick, Too true... anywho another post, probably just as longwinded and boring as most if not all of mine, but hey why mess with a system that works huh? Some would say for improvement or some garbage like that but to them i say why not 6 fish?

Whats new in the world of yurko since last post. Not a great deal, well theres a few small things but nothing really of massive intrest to anyone but I. Firstly missed out on seeing the finals of the chuckwagons back on sunday cause my sister had to study for a summer school exam. Cant say im crying, what with it being the stampede and all (whooo..ooo) but yeah its something to talk about. Last two parts of that Uncle Scrooge series ive been pursuing finally came in, this of course resulted in a rather happy me cause i can chalk that up to yet another one of my pointless quests completed. Good times reminiscing about time back in the day. Speaking of pointless quests, thanks to the magic of BitTorrent and some site that victor sent me i was finally able to find The Dig, it being probably the hardest to find Lucasarts adventure game, and concurrently one of there best but it didnt sell cause it wasnt comedic like the usual ones they produced; hence rariety. Still though im content, gives me something else to do.
Finally was able to get to the varsity rogers and rent the second mad max movie, The Road Warrior, I havent been able to watch it yet but i should in the coming days and well im looking forward to some damn good post apokalyptic Australia. Hooray Nuclear War!

Its so comforting to know that you morons can read instructions. Comooon keith and jackie how hard is it to just write your damn adress down and email it to me? At least Neil has the excuse of not reading the last post but you guys did AND commented but still no dice. Damnit, its not like i have any use for a bloody bag of army men and a small plastic walrus so dont let me down again. And dont worry this is not some big complex plan so i can get your adresses and stalk you or something, really its not; i havent reached that level of pathetic yet.

Saw an ad for the movie Collateral and i must say damn that looks awesome. After The Last Samurai ive got faith in Tom Cruise to make for a good Hitman esc movie and it looks like Jamie Foxx doesnt do much comedy so it should be good (although i would be much happier if he died in the first 5min but still the trailers look promising).
Was going through the toy department of Wal Mart a little while back and i had what is a rather amusing idea that i must try one of these days. You know how they sell those extra packs of monopoly money well i think it would be so much fun to just buy a couple packs and go through downtown giving wads of monopoly bills to people with the comment "Here, Keep the Change" or "Buy yourself some nice real-estate" etc to that extent. Heheh man that would be some fun, that or go oblivious style (one of the funniest shows on tv btw) and ask some random people a question and give em 20 bucks if they get it right etc. Of course that would ahve to be done when im rich and exccentric enough to be able to spend money like that but it would be rather fun and i think a rather natural transition from putting spare change into random parking metres which btw is a great pass time when your in a different city, esp one with lots of parking meters!
Quick side note, your going to have to tell me some of the movies that this "Jogn Cleese" has been in jackie cause if he is both a relative of John Cleese AND nearly as funny as rowan atkinson i must see some of his or hers stuff. That and Keith I must see this massive Lego collection dating back to the 60(?) cause that would be massive. And yeah ive seen those medival ones, they look pretty cool but there not as good as the ones from back when we were youngin's.

Hmm well i did say i would have a nice rant about how Shania Twain helped to ruin rock music, actually a better term would be music in general but well like always i should have done this on sunday cause most of my rant has farted out my ears some time between well sunday and right now. I think i can get the jist of it down though. Essentially it stems more from her connection with the producer Robert "Mutt" Lange, who during his prime in the 70's to 90's worked with such groups as AC/DC, Def Leppard, Foreigner, Loverboy, Bryan Adam's, The Car's, Huey Lewis & The News etc. Now here was a producer who helped to give all of these groups there well known sound and was the producer on many of there best albums including Highway to Hell and Back in Black for AC/DC, and Pyromania and Hysteria for Def Leppard; with Hysteria being one of the best selling Rock albums of all time. He also did Brya Adam's Waking up the Neighbours which was one of his biggest albums. All great music that he helped to create and then during the mid 90's along came Shania "I live in switzerland all year but still like to call myself canadian" Twain. Bleh. So now instead of working with such great rock acts as previously stated this great rock producer starts helping her churn out that crap ass country pop junk that she has all her career. Which also led to the nice influx of almost every single country act nowadays acting as if there huge rock stars even when 6 of the members of the group are named either "Cyrus" or "Billy Bob" and three of which play either banjo, the jug, or both. Damn stupid country. Whats worse is that once he started to work mostly with Shania Twain, you had these other groups forced to work with other producers like Def Leppard using one of the backstreet boys old ones and creating one of the WORST albums ever (that being X), AC/DC producing there own music in the rather dissapointing and genereally regarded as there worst album ever Flick of the Switch etc etc. Also probably what is the worst part of her influcence is you look at what other groups he worked with after marrying her and we get a bevy of pop drivel artists such as but not restricted to Michael Bolton, the Backstreet boys, Celine Dion, Britney Spears etc etc. Siigghh. Pre Shania AC/DC, Def Leppard; post Shania Backstreet boys, Celine Dion. So yeah tahts basically it, like i said not a very good argument/rant but meh i forgot most of what i was going to say. I do see the point that maitland usually makes when ive tried to bring this up before (albeit the actual point hes trying to make, not how he says it) and well yeah he did marry the woman etc so of course he is going to work on her stuff but all i know is that i would much rather listen to the greatness that was High and Dry or Hysteria then be forced to listen to anything off the horrible horrible X. So damnit Lange go back to your roots, and lets hear some more of that great rock that you used to help create and put an end to the pop bull shit.

Yes well im done, mocking and ridicule will now commense!!

Till Next Ramble

The Amazing, Boring Yurko
