Afishionados,
Been AWOL for family reasons. Been doing lots of drinking.
You know, instead of hanging out with Anaglyph, Joey, and Yuliya.
Afishionados,
Come one, come all! Come as many times as you can!
The inmates escaped from white rooms!
They’ve chewed their restraints
And caused many complaints
From the Rev on the day of our doom.
Afishionados,
Happy Halloweenie! And what better time than Halloween to reveal the Rasputin International Poetry Exhibition’s new poster and official trailer! Honestly, is there anything scarier?
Click to View the RIPE Trailer in HD (SFW)
Click to view Rasputin in… um.. all his glory. You may also view the new trailer on YouTube and embed it on your own site if you so choose. The festivities begin January 1st and if you’re feeling pedantic, you can read up on all the rules right here. And remember, Rasputin’s the kind of joke you don’t want anywhere near your insides, so make sure you put on some kind of protection or something. Also, for the very first time, “official” Rasputin swag is available at the Rasputin International Poetry Exhibition Swag Headquarters, complete with detailed descriptions! Yes, Cowmrades, you can even obtain your very own RIPE T-shirt in addition to other precious things of the shop!
Adorn yourself in His glory!
One of the biggest goals of RIPE this year (aside from ol’ Rasputin himself) is to try and get more poets and players. So, if you’d like to help spread the word, you can do so by placing a smaller and slightly modified version of the poster in your sidebar. Here is the code:
<a href="http://www.tetherdcow.com/?page_id=1294" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.oldfishandlemonade.com/pix/ripeminiposter.png" alt="Rasputin International Poetry Exhibition" title="Rasputin International Poetry Exhibition" border="0"></a>
That’s it! The link should appear in your sidebar as it does here on The Fish.
The logo is all my doing, but once again I must send out a huge, Rasputin-sized thanks to my good pal Joey Polanski for his help with the RIPE slogan, the post title, and for his assistance with the trailer music. Lots of time (literally hours), effort, and design went into this year’s campaign, folks, so I hope you at least get a laugh out of it. Enjoy, and fuckin’ participate this year, would ya?
Afishionados,
Click to Watch the RIPE Teaser Trailer
The annual Tetherd Cow Ahead Rasputin International Poetry Exhibition (RIPE) is approaching! Grab your notebooks and pencils, folks, because Year V will be here before you know it. In the meantime, refresh yourself with the rules and enjoy the teaser trailer. The video is in 720p HD Flash format. You may also embed and view it via YouTube.
And be sure to snag yourself a high-res copy of the RIPE teaser poster (12″ x 18″). Depending on the size of your screen, the poster may display smaller. Right-click to save it to your computer.
I assure you, there is plenty more where this came from. Stay tuned…
Many thanks to Joey Polanski for the new RIPE slogan.

Afishionados,
Tomorrow is my first day as an intern of a design firm. I’m nervous and excited at the same time. In this wonderful U.S. economy, finding a job has not been easy. Thankfully, I’ve found a paying (though I use the term loosely) internship that should last a few months or so. Hopefully I don’t get fired or else I’ll be drawing elephants from life again.
Which, I think, is better than weighing how much shit an elephant produces in a 24 hour period. 540 pounds of elephant shit is a lot of shit. No wonder the G.O.P. is the way that it is.
And thanks to the Reverend for the photo. Apparently WordPress does not allow hyperlinks within image captions. So here’s your shameless plug, asshole.
Only pirates and homosexuals (and homosexual pirates) can pull off outfits like this.
Arrrrrrrfishionados,
Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day. This might just be the best ITLAPD ever, because the folks over at Telltale Games are giving away the first episode of the brand new Tales of Monkey Island game for free! But hurry, shipmates, because the deal only lasts for 24 hours. It’s chock full of pirates, sword fighting, grog, and monkeys! FREE MONKEYS! You can’t pass that up!
Another good thing about ITLAPD is that it gives me a chance to show off my new crescent wench:

Afishionados,
Normally I am against blogs that have “Day” associated posts. You know, “Fun Friday” or “Photos of my Cat Saturday”. Every week it’s the same damn thing that you didn’t care about the week before, yet there it is AGAIN! I say that I am normally against them because I am abnormally fond of at least one:
Nurse Myra features a Corset Friday. Well, folks, I’ve been doing this blogging gig for years now and anyone who knows me well knows that if my Kryptonite is anything, it’s Australian women. But an Australian woman in a corset!?! Well, that’s like friggin red kryptonite!
Dang! I think I’m gonna need a bigger bib…
Afishionados,
Michael Jackson’s death has really stolen the spotlight away from Farrah Fawcett’s death. I can’t say that my friends and I were big Michael Jackson fans, but we were DEFINITELY fans of Charlie’s Angels. Damn. It’s really gonna be hard for us at the convention this year. While we may not be able to get all the autographs we’d hoped for, there’s some consolation in knowing that we still have our costumes.
As you can see, I’m just torn up over the news of Farrah’s death. Joey, well… Since when the fuck is Joey sure of what’n the hell is going on? And Anaglyph’s just happy that his hair isn’t all fucked up yet.
Special thanks to Cissy Strutt for taking such a fantastic photo of us and for dropping us off at the mall on Saturdays.
EDIT: I would also like to take this opportunity to give a shout out to the Australian nurse of my [wet] dreams and Fourth Angel, Nurse Myra who, up until this very moment, has eluded my blogroll. Well, no more, my love.
Afishionados,
Another year has gone by, and with it another summer has arrived. And what’s summer without a new iPhone, right? Unless you have been living under a rock, I’m sure you’ve heard that the new iPhone 3G S was released yesterday, June 19. I was not privy to the excitement this year, but I read that lines were much shorter than last year.
Either nobody wants the new iPhone 3G S, or (what I think is more likely) more folks simply pre-ordered and had it shipped to their house. Honestly, free overnight shipping form China or wait in line overnight to maybe get one. Which would you choose? Still, exact sales figures have yet to be released, but I bet Apple sells a shitload of them.
Of course, while it seems that Apple was well-prepared for this year’s mad rush of the iPhone, AT&T is still running the oldest servers in the world and are experiencing difficulties in activating the new iPhones for use on their network. Some recent iPhone buyers, when attempting to activate their new phone, have been greeted with this “Frequently Asked Questions” support page in iTunes:

Well, I sure hope that clears things up for you. Feel free to add… um… revisions to the FAQ in the comments below.
