Blog Number Seventeen: Memorial Day

As always, any questions, concerns, complaints, or suggestions can be sent to razorsedgeblog@gmail.com. ALL emails will read, disseminated, and laughed at by our crack staff before we answer them.

This blog will be a different kind of the normal blog we here at the Edge usually slap together, as today is a different kind of day. Today is Memorial Day, and today's blog will be a bit of a tool to remembering those brave men and women who fight to protect our freedoms. Whether or not you are for or against the current militeristic conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan, these brave souls who strap on the kevlar and throw their M-16 over their shoulder daily need to remembered for their sacrifice.

Quote Of The Day

"Let no vandalism of avarice or neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten, as a people, the cost of free and undivided republic."

-- General John Logan, General Order No. 11, 5 May 1868

Memorial Day is a day to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, but Memorial Day also a day to remember, not only those who have died in battle, but those who are still missing or in capture somewhere.

Visit the government Defense POW/MIA site for more information on POW/MIA issues.

Another site to check out is The National League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia. They help families whose loved ones died during fighting in Vietnam, as well as missions to Laos and Cambodia.

Quote Number Two Of The Day

"I just want you to know I tried to do the right thing ... I didn't always do things on your time line, but I've always looked up to you, Dad, as the man I've always wanted to be."

- Patrick Tainsh, 29 years old, killed in Iraq. The quote was taken from a note he had written to his family in the event of his death.

Let us never forget the wounded, the dead, the still-in-combat. Even those, like my uncle, who came home and was left with his horrific thoughts of war.

Let us never forget.

Blog Number Sixteen: May 29th, H-Hole Army, The DaVinci Code Review, and Madonna (yeah, that whore)

As always, any questions, concerns, complaints, or suggestions can be sent to razorsedgeblog@gmail.com. ALL emails will read, disseminated, and laughed at by our crack staff before we answer them.

The contest is over and we here at the Edge have not decided a winner. We are still working on that because, well, we're a bunch of lazy, good-for-nothing degenerates.

Please go visit Rhayna, The Mistress of Rock's blog over on Live Journal as well as Georgia Writer's blog. It seems the two non-family member women in my life are down. Send them love and read their respective blogs. If you have a blog and want a link and mad props on this site, email the link to us.

Quote Of The Day

"You would have to live under a rock not to know this movie was opening."

-Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations.

The two pics to the right are of girls whose names we don't even know.

Help us find out the identity of these chicks and you'll receive a $10 dollar gift certificate from Amazon.com.

The brunette in the jeans is a hot little Goth chick that used to be a Rock Girl. She's even more dreamy and luscious in person as the crew found out at the Rock Girl Gala a few weeks ago. What's a Rock Girl you ask? Check out the KISW website and find out more about these tasty little morsels. To see this pic in a bigger, almost 3D thing with the breasts, go now to the KISW website and click on the Rock Girl Photo of the Day.

The second pic is a one spicy meatball. All I know is this chick is Brazilian and hotter than a 5-alarm fire (cliches are a good thing goddammit!). I, John McCaurthur, have REALLY got to find out who this chick is, I mean damn! What's not to like? Long, curly hair, big ol' breasts, beautiful six-pack abs, and, we assume, a tremendous ass. This pic was sent to us from a friend to the show, so I have no fucking where the hell this pic came from. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Before we get to the topics at hand, a reminder about May 29. As a point of record, we here at the Edge are absolute complete marks for pro wrestling. And if you can't handle that fact, fuck you. Even if you're not a wrestling fan, watch Monday Night RAW on May 29, emanating from Tacoma, WA on the USA Network. You'll never know who you might see.

The H-Hole Army was the brain-child of BJ Shea, a radio God in the Seattle market, to thank his loyal, rabid fan base for helping him achieve astronomical ratings. Since moving to KISW, BJ has maintained these awesome ratings. This H-Hole Army thing breaks down like this: The more people you recruit, the more swag and perks you get. I, being the spokesman for the Edge, have joined and the goal is to get one-hundred recruits to equal receiving bronze dog tags and hang out in the studio with BJ Shea and the rest of the Morning Experience during a show. It would be awesome to go to the Holiday Hangover Ball in the VIP section if 150 recruits singed up, but getting any publicity for this fledgling blog, then so be it. If you are interested in helping the Edge out, email razorsedgeblog@gmail.com and we'll email you more information on how to fill out the application for the H-Hole Army.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And now for the topics at hand:

When I received "The DaVinci Code" book for Christmas a couple of years ago, it single-handedly started me reading again. I was so into the story of Jesus marrying Mary Magdalene and the Catholic Church covering it up and the Opus Dei sect killing off anyone who tried to expose the secret. I was psyched when I heard it was being made into a movie. I became reluctant when Ron Howard signed on as director; I became even more disheartened when Tom Hanks, of all people, was cast in the lead role as Harvard professor of iconology Robert Langdon.

After seeing the movie Monday morning, I was left with one revelation: why the fuck does it cost so fucking much? One must take out a second morgage on your home in order to pay for a ticket to a movie these days.

Anyway, I feel as though the movie is an accompaniment to the wonderful book written by Dan Brown. The pacing of the movie was really, really slow. Tom Hanks was miscast because, quite frankly, I FUCKING HATE TOM HANKS! One word for Tom Hanks: OVEREXPOSURE. Sir Ian McKellen stole the show as sure entertainment value, and Paul Bettany is amazing as the albino monk Silas. I give the movie a 7 out of the 10.

In the next blog, we'll have more about the movie and why we here at the Edge think Hollywood is fucked when it comes to telling the difference between fact and fiction.

*At ninety-five years of age, Madonna is touring again in support of an album no one fucking cares about because she is ninety-five years of age. In her tour opener in Los Angeles Sunday night, she wore a crown of thorns whilst crucifying herself on a glass cross according to an AP article on MSN Music.

"I guess you really can't teach an old pop star new tricks," Catholic League president Bill Donohue said in a statement Monday. "Poor Madonna keeps trying to shock. But all she succeeds in doing is coming across as a boring bigot."

Normally we would make some border-line misogynistic joke about the ageless wonder whore that is known as Madonna. Normally we would go on and on about not looking directly at Madonna's crotch too long in fear you might get sucked into the tractor beam, the limitless vacuum that spurs from that dusty vagina of hers....but we won't. We will maintain our moral high ground and not even mention she has slept with more men than American have purchased burgers at McDonald's.

But we here at the Edge will retain our moral high ground and not mention those things.

If you haven't seen the latest Georgia Writer blog, what the fuck is wrong with you? Being a huge mark, and now an addict, for the Big Apple's star writer, go to the Ramblings Of A Late 20-Something blog site. Reading the last post of "Georgia Writer," I, John McCaurthur, got a strange sense of deja vu.

Another post y'all should be reading is Rhayna, The Mistress of Rock's blog over on Live Journal. No explanation should be given, just read the fucking thing and it should explain what the crew and I were doing on a Thursday night in the Emerald City last week.

Quote Of The Day

"Lesson learned: eat first, then drink. "

-Rhayna, The Mistress Of Rock

Before we get to the topics, whether or not you are a pro wrestling fan you should tune into WWE RAW emanating from the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, WA (just a few miles away from the Batcave) on May 29. The crew and I will be at the event, so take a close look at the screen for anything resembling a plug for The Razor's Edge in a form of a sign.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And now to the topics at hand:

A very long time ago, before blogging, podcasting (audio and video), and You Tube was the "cool" thing to do, people sat in front of their computers, ignored their work, kids, or daily lives to be part of, or create their own, email lists. These lists would start with one person creating one topic or question, sending it to a throng of awaiting typists, and everyone would jump on that question and answer it.

I was apart of one list called P'n'V, or piss and vent, and with great consideration and conjoling to the crew, the greatest email list segment makes its debut here on The Razor's Edge.

with all that being said, from omegaman's bs ranch in armadillo, texas, we bring to you:

--random thoughts--

*one...reseachers have found lesbian women's brains react differently to sexual stimuli than straight women's brains do. this study, spear-headed (pun intended) by Ivanka Savic at the Stockholm Brain Institute furthers the argument that homosexuality is biological, not learned. whether or not the 'nature v. nurture' argument can use here is really irrelevant, but i will point out to these researchers have these "researchers" on every Girls Gone Wild video EVERY chick is sexual with every other chick.

**two...Angela Krasowski and her ex-husband, James Krasowski were arrested Saturday and then arraigned Monday on charges of "first-degree manslaughter, three counts of risk of injury to minors, possession of heroin, possession of drug paraphernalia, interfering with police and tampering with evidence" in the heroin overdose that lead to a 13-year-old boy's death. if these jerkoffs are guilty, hook them up to Ol' Sparky and flip the switch. kill them; those motherfuckers deserve it.

three...this pic to the right is of an extremely hot woman; it was sent to the crew by a mysterious, anonymous emailer. who is this chick? is she single? and does she do parties? the first person to name the girl correctly will get a ten dollar gift certificate from amazon.com.

four...as the crew and i were out boozing it up last Thursday for the Rock Girl Gala, i couldn't help but notice a few things about the girls that were there at the Showbox. the girls that myself and the crew saw, for the most part, were with real bruiser, asshole guys that would rather kick your ass for just breathing the wrong way. why is self-protection a trend with women these days? can't women stand up on their own accord? i guess men are stronger than women.

--i'm done; stick a fork in me--

Blog Number Fourteen: Update On Kaavya Viswanathan, Barry Bonds, and "Commander in Chief"

As always, any questions, concerns, complaints, or suggestions can be sent to razorsedgeblog@gmail.com. ALL emails will read, disseminated, and laughed at by our crack staff before we answer them. Keep sending in your contest submissions. Check blog number nine, number nine for all the details.

*Quote of the Day

"The government believes that this law represents progress, because it established the minimum quantities that a citizen can carry for personal use."

-Ruben Aguilar, spokesman for Mexico's President Vincente Fox on the new Mexican law that will legalize a small amount of "illicit" drugs like heroin, cocaine, and ecstasy

Before we get to the topics, we here at the Edge have an update on a previous post.

In blog number twelve, we discussed the Harvard sophomore intentionally plagerized her own book in order for her to further her book-writing career. And it looks like the internet juggernaut that is The Razor's Edge has finally helped to eradicate a cancer.

*In an official statement released Tuesday, publishing house Little, Brown and Co. cancelled Kaavya Viswanathan's six-figure deal signed when she was seventeen-years-old. The publishers declined to comment whether or not legal action might be taken to have Viswanathan might have to return the monies gained while under contract.

As we suggested in blog number twelve, the publishing house did get rid of this stupid bitch. We here at the Edge feel you should be unmercilessly flogged and beaten, Kaavya, with all the manuscipts of truly creative, unplagerized work that have been overlooked or tossed aside by readers at publishing companies.

You make us sick you stupid bitch!

How dare you make true struggling authors, who toil over hours and hours of research, endless amounts of late nights of creative brainstorming only to crumple up those pieces of paper and throw them into the wastepaper basket, look like complete idiots!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And now to the topics at hand:

After all this time talking trash about that fat, slow, wannabe hitter for the San Franciscoo Giants, I finally get to explain my hatred and overall loathing of one designated hitter Barry Bonds.

I fucking hate, loathe, and want to see Barry Bonds die in a horrible accident involving a belt sander, flaming turpentine, and his yammer sac.

Yeah fine goddammit, Bonds is two away from tying Babe Ruth for the second-most homeruns hit in a career.

Bonds, if allegations are true, has disgraced one of the greatest sports known to man by cheating to make his own individual statistics and completely disregard his team's pennant hopes in any given season.

Barry Bonds purposely circumvented the system in order to become the best in their sport through surreptitious means.

In my opinion, if you cannot get to a personal best in sport via training, hard work, and determination and you have to inject a needle in order to enhance your physical athletic performance (ala Ben Johnson), then you deserve to die.

Or, better yet, you deserve to be tied up in a chair, flogged with several wet herring, and forced to listen to Nickleback, Britney Spears, Good Charlotte, and King Diamond until your motherfucking brains oozes from your head and your eyeballs pop out of your fucking skull.

Fuck Barry Bonds, I hate him.

Cheater.

Loser.

Have fun in hell.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's about time ABC got their heads out of their collective asses and yanked possibly the worse show ever devised for the television medium, "Commander in Chief."

After a three-month hiatus, the show came back to only be faced by declining ratings (6.5 million viewers) and a scandal involving a storyline that followed with and apology regarding Hyattsville, Maryland.

This show was the worse premise for a show and the worse attempt at trying to subliminally infuse politic and entertainment.

A short message to all feminists, dreamers, and pussyfied men reading this blog:

THERE WILL NEVER BE A FEMALE PRESIDENT IN THE UNITED STATES!!!!

How many fucking times do I have to say this? Women do not vote for women; in fact, women just do not vote! Men will never vote for a woman, unless the fucking bitch looked like Jenna Jameson and installed webcams in the West Wing so we can see her shmasturbateerbate, and dress herself.
