Okay, so I know most of you are all fairly young, but I just want to tell you all, get your colons checked when you're older. Colon cancer is not a pleasant way to die. It's far more unpleasant than regular checks.
And also eat a lot of donuts. They are the universal shape of the advanced biological organism. And remember folks, your stomach is on the outside of your body!

Just to keep up with the public service announcement theme about colon cancer. A year ago next week my grandfather was diagnosed with advanced stage colon cancer. He only lasted six days from said diagnosis and died on February 11, 2006.
He began exhibiting the early signs of colon cancer in late 1999, which progressively got worse throughout the early 2000's. Towards the end, the blockage was so large in his colon that he could no longer pass waste through his bowels and had to vomit up everything he ate as to be able to eat the next meal so he didn't starve. He went through a dozen or so doctors and specialists during this period who, despite my grandfather's vehement assertion that he did, in fact, have colon cancer, they just patted him on his head and said he was perfectly fine. Indeed, one doctor went so far as to write on my grandfather's chart chart that he would no longer see him because he was clearly "crazy" and merely had "an insane bowel fixation" (yes, the lawsuit is pending). By the time someone actually thought to give him a colonoscopy, it was far too late.
Moral of the story: Don't just plan on getting regular checks once you hit middle age, insist upon them, and if you don't get one, make a friggen' capital case out of it. It could save your life.

I'd also like to remind everyone exercise extreme caution and use good judgement when inserting foreign objects into the colon.

Make sure to feed your colon every day – a steady diet of green tea and leaves is recommended by doctors everywhere. Use our overpriced, expensive medication if you don't want to feed your colon. Possible side effects include diahrrea, red eyes, loss of vision and ingrown toenails.

So today was DONUT DAY over here at the old mrxak homestead. Normally I'd hop out to get a dozen to eat for the next few days with my roommate and friends but I got up kinda late and the place I go to actually seems to run out of donuts if you wait to long so I didn't bother. I'll probably go out tomorrow instead.

I never want to eat a donut again, or, for that matter, even hear my name since it's horribly close to "colon" and people keep mispronouncing it...

You hadn't noticed the pink armor before?
You put what in my Power Mac?
Its like what happens when you cross a phoenix with a super black hole; it's powerful enough to destroy itself, only to be reborn in a vicious cycle of torment and pain. Or in this case, nonsense.

I downloaded Tremulous recently, I should really start playing it. It seems like it would be a fun game.

It is. But beware. If you have an underpowered computer (like I do), them mount it up on sometihing with vents and blow air at it. My computer has overheated 3 times while playing trem, and every time I was only 15 minutes or so in.

Clean your heatsinks.
And maybe underclock it.

You could also try placing the computer on a large raft. Not that it would do anything, but you could try it.

There are 10 Dunkin' Donuts within 10 miles of me. I only really knew about the two. Now that I think about it, I really ought to go to the other one for Donut Day more often, they're a larger place, they probably don't run out of donuts there...

How about hanging it from the ceiling? That might work...
