reviews and wiki

REVIEWS AND WIKI
My usual mode of operation is to find a subject no matter how obvious and mundane and sprinkle it with shiny glittery BS and then add a few two bit words and everyone oohs and ahhs and congratulates me on my insight and general all around greatness. Well, that's how I imagine it goes when you all get together every Friday night at your official Bison fan club meeting and pass the hat around to collect enough to buy my secret decoder ring. I mean, how else could such meetings end? Today we talk about www.wikipedia.org . A pretty nifty place if I do say so myself. That is where I got the information to cover primitive firearms primers. Being pretty ignorant of most things science, I just went from one link to another piecing together all the processes.

Wiki is a good place to go if you are so poor you can't afford to buy specialty books, can't wait for inner library loans or are in too much of a hurry to sit and read anything past a few pages. You can get all the information you need on the derivatives markets, or Peak Oil, or the Yellowstone Volcano. Post-Apocalypse fiction, the Tri-States organization, hyper-inflation. Smokeless powder, cob buildings, even Jim Rawles. Whenever a survival author breezes by something that to them is obvious but to you is new and exciting, chances are you can zip over to Wiki and get enough information to act and sound informed. You're surfing all the girl on farm animal sites anyway, your broadband bill is already paid. You might as well learn a thing or two.

On to the reviews. I've got three today. A movie and two books. The movie is "20 Years After". I just happened to glance over at Red Box one day leaving Wal-Mart and there was a gal carrying a shotgun, her ass cheeks hanging out of some tight shorts. Well, who wouldn't be interested? Post-Apocalypse and potential nudity. I've only seen one post-apocalypse movie that was so god awful bad that nudity couldn't save it. She-Wolves Of The Wasteland or something similar. So, I'm pretty excited about getting this movie. Alas, for the last six months the electrical juice situation has not allowed movie watching. Well, after hearing bitching and moaning and complaining and sniveling, I bought the wife a portable TV. Seven inch, color, digital channel ready. An insane $150, but she was bored and wanted to watch a few hours of TV a day. Being the super-duper extra nice guy that I am, I gave in and got the damn thing. It only uses 14 watts and the DVD uses 15, so one movie a week is now allocated. I would rather just have went to the movies once a month, but at least I get a few DVD's out of this deal.

Let me just tell you, the movie sucked abnormally large donkey member. It wasn't low budget and it wasn't terrible acting. It was a crappy story. It was all mystical, fantasy, magic bull crap. The fighting scenes were terrible, a mere afterthought thrown in. And as bad as they were, at least it was an occasional break from the hippy dippy channeled crystal weirdness. And the good verses evil shtick was lame, using cardboard characters. And not one bit of nudity. No ass cheeks flopping around, not even any cleavage. I was hugely disappointed. Do not rent this turd.

The two books were The Scarlet Plague" by Jack London and "The Aftermath, A Diary From The Future". London's was a very good story. Only 66 pages and as simple as an old man reminiscing to his grandsons, it nonetheless was very good. I didn't mind spending the $12 for the paper version ( you can find the free e-book online ). The Aftermath, on the other hand, was not so good and a waste of $15. The author was Cassandra Lepanto and I think she might be a college student. The book just struck me a naive and by someone without a lot of experience. The pacing was a bit off, with a weird back story about our country experiencing an Islamic revolution right before the massive earthquakes separated part of Washington state from the mainland. I'm not saying I could have written a better story. I know a lot of my minions think my fiction sucks. What I am saying is that compared to any $7.99 paperback book, the writing did not compare favorably. It seemed most of the information was lifted from government printed FEMA booklets. And the ending was unrealistically happy and rosy. It just didn't work together. At least she tried, and went ahead and published a book. I hope she can improve on the next go around.

That is all for now. Remember to tune in the next two days for the guest articles. And trolls, kindly shut the hell up. If you aren't submitting anything, why bitch about those that do. Trash me all you want, but its hard getting guest articles. If you must contribute, just say I suck or don't know anything or that you've seen Google photo's of my trailer in Africa. And, by the by, I'm still waiting for my money for the photos.
