Site Update: And God Said, "Let There Be Comments"

Mon, 24 Oct 2005 16:06:26 -0700

Just for clarity's sake, that God reference is not anywhere near being in the context of a self reference. More like the internet gods, who torment me on a daily basis, keep me from showering and, ironically, make my life a living hell. All that shit aside, this post serves to let all you bastards out there that never join know the following: You may comment on stories now. Yeah, you heard me right, look inside for more.

Hey peeps. This is just a note to let all of you know that we are burning the bewitching oil right now adding a new feature to this piece. That means you should expect some hiccups if you're surfing around BM at the moment. Maybe even some major ones, but it's all for a real good cause.

Hopefully by tomorrow the new feature will be up and running as smooth as Hunter's hard hat, or something similar.

You've probably heard of Skull & Bones, but more than likely the one you've heard of is the "secret society" of which our last two presidential candidates were members.

You may not have heard, however, of Skull and Bones Skateboards, a website maintained by avid skateboard collectors and dedicated to the activity of acquring the most rare of collectible stuntwoods.

Mass Murder Is OK, But Lay Off The Sex...

Mon, 01 Aug 2005 10:35:20 -0700

Nevermind that you can virtually kill more then ten thousand people in a half hour while playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. No big deal that you can take a flamethrower into crowded buildings, execute civilians for the pleasure of it, steal U.S. military vehicles and besiege major cities, causing millions of dollars in property damage. But get a blowjob in the sex mini-game version - now that's where the government puts it's foot down and deems the game "adults only."
