Ban the internet May 17, 05, 6:42 p.m.

"Amarillo,TX --Gladis Haralski, founder of United Confederacy Against WWW (UCAWWW) announced last week of her ongoing campaign to shut down the internet.

In an interview Gladis proclaims the destructive way in which we use the internet degenerates society's standards. "The internet is nothing but filth to steal our children from God and truth", says Gladis...

Currently the UCAWWW holds 43 members, all of which reside in Texas. When Gladis was asked by reporters how she planned to reach out to others across the country she said, "We have many ongoing projects, and soon we'll be proud to announce the grand opening of our website."

War of the Worlds Jun 29, 05, 5:41 p.m.

Great movie. Loads of freaky weird bits. Excellent effects. Crazy camera work that I couldnt figure out how they did it.

Didnt really stick the the original book but more followed a families ordeal through it all.

A movie hasnt gripped me like that in a long time. Pure Speilburg.

The only critic is that young girl. She annoyed the shit outa me with her screams. Reminded me why i never want to have kids.

But all in all i'd give it 5 stars

Aussie facts Feb 6, 05, 2:16 p.m.

When Australia was built on a deserted island in 1984, they couldn't think of a name for it. Most people wanted to call it 'mate' because it was a good word, but this one bloke said "hey there sports, I've jus' been to this wonderful place called Austria - let's steal their name and spell it wrong" they all agreed that it was a bonza idea.

Aussies are stupid and unreliable

Aussies don't understand jokes.

Children from the age of 3 are encouraged to drink beer instead of milk.

Australians call each other "mate" even if they're not mates.

Only 1% of people in Australia have cars, the rest have to ride to work on wasps. Can you imagine that ?

In some parts of Australia it is illegal to eat chips and if caught by the "tucker police" you can spend up to 13 years in the Dame Edna Memorial Prison.

Outback folk often eat sand and tumbleweed if the supply of water is low.

Natalie Imbruglia sells old bras that she's fished out of bins over the Internet for stupidly high prices.

Australians don't understand words unless they're childish and silly, so they make up stupid phrases like "Woop Woop" "Dilly bag" and "Fair dinkum" - this helps a lot.

97% of Aussies are alcoholics.

92% of Aussies are called "Clive"

Chesney Hawkes once pretended to be Australian to get free advice on how to burn bushes.

Burning bushes is a popular pass-time in Australia. Most people have bush fires a few times every month. "How much bladdy bush is there to burn?"

The average Australian sweats over a pint a minute.

Aussie TV is shit.

That panting noise that Rolf Harris makes seems strange to us normal folks, but that's actually his mating call, and is used by many desperate Australian men.

In Australia there is a constant "wingdy wongdy" sound in the background everywhere 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Australians are so used to this sound they don't even hear it. "are you new to this country mate?" "yeah, I'm from the UK, what is that wingdy wongdy sound ?" "what sound? I can't hear a sound!" "that constant digeridoo-like sound in the background" "bladdy hill mate, there is no sound, you must be imagining it ya pommie yobbo!"

Australia smells like drains.

Cancer was created in an Australian laboratory and then spread to other countries by carrier pigeon, the same goes for HIV, arthritis and swollen wrists.

Australians smoke nettles instead of tobacco.

Aussies are really good at cheating. They cheat at all sports.

For TV comedy in Australia they just show a man being kicked by a kangaroo over and over again. Aussies find it funny however many times they've seen it.

84% of Aussies can't read.

Being ill was invented in Australia. So was faking illness.

Boomerangs are crap .

Steve Irwin puts the Aussie accent on, he's really Welsh and smokes crack with his mother, who he doesn't realize has been dead for months.

Australians descended from moths in the early 80s

NOT drinking heavily is a crime in some parts of Australia, the punishment for this is having to walk around all day with crisps in your pants. The Aussies call this "dingle wasser"

Aussies make bad TV on purpose to piss the rest of the world off.

Going to Australia is like stepping back into the 80s

Sunblock is always used in Australia, even when it's not sunny.

Aussies get so mad when they don't understand jokes that they often start killing people.

Some Australians have 5 legs, these people are known as "cally bums"

Most Australians deep down want to be English.

The Plague was wiped out years ago over here but it's still at large down under, killing hundreds a week

Australians don't use toothpaste to clean their teeth, why they don't even use toothbrushes. Most Aussies just chew on some toilet roll, and some don't even bother doing that

Knick, from Evol Intent just posted this on the 404 audio boards:
http://www.404audio.com/forum/vi…

Last night, I was booked to play an event about an hour outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. The hype behind this show was huge, they presold 700 tickets and they expected up to 3,000 people total. The promoters did an amazing job with the show.. they even made slipmats with the flyers on them to promote in local shops.

So, we got to the show around 11:15 or so and it was really cool. It was all outdoors, in a valley surrounded by huge mountains. They had an amazing light show flashing on to a mountain behind the site, the sound was booming, the crowd was about 1500 people thick and everything just seemed too good to be true really. Well...

At about 11:30 or so, I was standing behind the stage talking with someone when I noticed a helicopter pulling over one of the mountain tops. I jokingly said "Oh look, here comes big brother" to the person I was with. I wasn't far off.

The helicopter dipped lower and lower and started shining its lights on the crowd. I was kind of in awe and just sat and watched this thing circle us for a minute. As I looked back towards the crowd I saw a guy dressed in camoflauge walking by, toting an assault rifle. At this point, everyone was fully aware of what was going on . A few "troops" rushed the stage and cut the sound off and started yelling that everyone "get the fuck out of here or go to jail". This is where it got really sticky.

No one resisted. That's for sure. They had police dogs raiding the crowd of people and I saw a dog signal out a guy who obviously had some drugs on him. The soldiers attacked the guy (4 of them on 1), and kicked him a few times in the ribs and had their knees in his back and sides. As they were cuffing him, there was about 1000 kids trying to leave in the backdrop, peacefully. Next thing I know, A can of fucking TEAR GAS is launched into the crowd. People are running and screaming at this point. Girls are crying, guys are cussing... bad scene.

Now, this is all I saw with my own eyes, but I heard plenty of other accounts of the night. Now this isnt gossip I heard from some candy raver, these are instances cited straight out of the promoters mouth..

- One of the promoters friends (a very small female) was attacked by one of the police dogs. As she struggled to get away from it, the police tackled her. 3 grown men proceeded to KICK HER IN THE STOMACH.

- The police confiscated 3 video tapes in total. People were trying to document what was happening out there. The police saw one guy filming and ran after him, tackled him and his camera fell, and luckily.. his friend grabbed it and ran and got away. priceless footage. That's not all though. Out of 1,500 people, there's sure to be more footage.

- The police were rounding up the staff of the party and the main promoter went up to them with the permit for the show and said "here, I have the permit." The police then said, "no you don't" and ripped the permit out of his hand. Then, they put an assault rifle to his forehead and said "get the fuck out of here right now."

Now.. let's get the facts straight here.

This event was 100% legal. They had every permit the city told them they needed. They had a 2 MILLION DOLLAR insurance policy for the event. They had liscenced security guards at the gates confiscating any alcohol or drugs found upon entry (yes, they searched every car on the way in). Oh, I suppose I should mention that they arrested all the security guards for possession.

Oh another interesting fact.. the police did not have a warrant. The owner of the land already has a lawsuit against the city for something similar. A few months ago, she rented her land for a party and the police raided that as well. And catch this, the police forced her to LEAVE HER OWN PERSONAL PROPERTY. That's right. They didnt arrest her, but made her leave her own property!!!

Don't get it twisted, this is all going down in probably THE most conservative state in the USA. And this is scary.. a gross violation of our civil liberties. The police wanted this party shut down, so they made it happen. Even though everything about this event was legal. The promoters spent over $ 20,000 on this show and did everything they had to to make it legit, only to have it taken away from them by a group of radical neo-con's with an agenda.

This was one of the scariest things I have ever witnessed in person. I can't even begin to describe how surreal it was. Helicopters, assault rifles, tear gas, camoflauge-wearing soldiers.... why? Was that really necessary?

This needs to be big news across the USofA. At least in our music scene (edm as a whole)... this could happen to any of us at any time. When we're losing the right to gather peacefully, we're also letting the police set a standard of what we can get away with. And I think that's BULLSHIT!

The system fucked up last night... They broke up a party that was 100% legal and they physically hurt a lot of people there at the same time. The promoters already have 6 lawsuits ready to file with their lawyers and the ACLU is already involved.

I'm sure some pictures (and hopefully some video) will surface soon. I'll make sure to post them up here on 404, so you can see the Police State of America at work.

Cats Jun 3, 10, 12:29 a.m.

My g/friend pestered me to get a cat for ages. I never wanted one caause:

1. I hate them
2. I have a german shepherd who hates cats
3. They piss on your bed
4. They shit in your house
4. I hate them

So i finally gave in and she got one. In fairness to her she researched cats that get on with dogs and we finally got a ragdoll call. It is very cute and all but jesus it is a complete asshole. It knows right from wrong but does wrong anyway. We had guests staying and the first night it pissed on their bed. It walks all over the kitchen counter with its pissy paws and knocks shit over.

How can I get rid of it or at least train it to be good. I have started spraying him in the face with vinigar but it doenst bother him. I got his balls cut off but he is still a cunt

Bush falls off bike Jul 6, 05, 3:14 p.m.

I love the last line...
----------------------------
From Sydney Morning Herald
US President George W Bush hit a police officer while he was riding a bike on the grounds of the Gleneagles golf resort in Scotland.

Bush is at the resort for the G8 summit.

Bush suffered scrapes on his hands and arms when he fell off the bike and the police officer, who was patrolling the grounds, was taken to a hospital as a precaution, White House spokesman Scott McClellan.

It was raining at the time and Bush slid on the road.

His wounds were bandaged by the White House physician, McClellan said.

The extent of the officer's injuries was not known, but he might have an ankle injury, McClellan said.

The fall did not affect the president's schedule.

He went ahead with a dinner hosted by Queen Elizabeth at the annual G8 summit.

The officer is a member of the Strathclyde police department.

Bush has fallen off his bike before.
