Do you ever see something in a store or online or somewhere that you know someone you used to be friends with would love, and then wish that you were still friends with them so you could get it for them and make their day? Uh, yeah, I mean, I don't either.

Speaking of buying things, I'm open to receiving this or this, because as you know, I like Superman and The Simpsons.

I'd like to thank Adam for getting me into Saves the Day so long ago. My two favorite songs by them are "Freakish" and "Sell My Old Clothes, I'm Off to Heaven".

I hope you don't mind me telling you this, but I freakin' hate the business end of the music industry. They screw us over on CD prices for years and years (though that's slowly getting better), they chew up and spit out talented musicians while constantly trying to force feed us crap, they try to screw us out of getting music for free (which we keep finding ways around, go us!), and now this.

A fine, fine, fine random quote to think about: "Most kindergarteners would do anything to be a robot."

And while I'm giving you things to think about, did you know the dictionary says that a hippopotamus is also known as a "river horse"?

Apparently a guy named Karl Wang draws a webcomic that features two different versions of me! There's the more current version of me on the left, and the younger, backwards hat wearing, goatee having version of me from a few years ago on the right. See for yourself...

Am I right? See he even acts like me! And look at him dressing like me.. though for completely different reasons. Look, he's even got sleeping problems like I do! And he's seems to be similar to me in other ways! I don't know if I should be excited or very, very frightened...

I knew as soon as I put the new front page picture up, that some people would like it, and some would dislike it. Actually, I don't think "like" and "dislike" are strong enough words to describe the scale of the polarity of feelings on that particular picture. And it's up to you whether or not you believe me about this part, but I also knew exactly who would and who would not like it. If you haven't voiced your opinion on it to me yet, please feel free to e-me about it. Or don't. Totally your call.

If you don't think that this is how every store and retail chain and business thinks of you, then you are exactly who every stupid commercial is talking to. Either way, it's still funny.

I am Stupendous Man!
You are simply amazing, whether you are battling your arch-nemesis Mom Lady, the nefarious Babysitter Girl, or the fiendish Annoying Girl. And you have absolutely nothing to do with mild-mannered Calvin.

Which Calvin are YOU?

---

I'd like to thank Steve for finding the above quiz. I don't think I talk about Calvin and Hobbes or how much I love them on here nearly enough. In case you're interested, I think Calvin and Hobbes was (is) the greatest comic strip ever.

This is pretty funny.

Update: PlanetGamecube gave that WMXIX a pretty glowing review from the early version of it they got to play.

Sometimes you just have to call them like you see them, and I believe this is one of those times, and I believe that Mr. Kurtz has done a spectacular job of calling it like it is. Or how it is going to be anyway.

If your name is Tara and you don't hear from me by tomorrow afternoon, then you should come by "the work" and talk to me if possible.

I drew He-Man...

As most of you know, I'm a pretty big wrestling fan, and on that level the only thing I like a much as wrestling is a good wrestling game. So far there aren't any good ones out on the next generation systems (though Def Jam Vendetta may change that), but the first pics and info on the next Gamecube WWE game, Wrestlemania XIX, have just been let loose. It looks pretty sharp, but that says very little about the quality of gameplay. Oh well, even if it sucks I'll always have No Mercy.

Peter Jackson (director of The Lord of the Rings) will be directing a remake of King Kong! This sounds pretty exciting if you ask me.

Edward's site is up and running and if you're at all interested in music, you'd be wise to go to it.

Also, if you're even vaguely interested in the world of professional wrestling I have to strongly suggest that you watch WWE Raw on TNN tonight at 9/8c. This is a hint...

Apart from breaking the 9,000 hit mark, March is very close to breaking the most hits in a single month record that was set last month. So if you'd like to tell someone you know that doesn't check out the site on a regular basis to come check it out, then please, please feel free to do so as today is the last day of the month.

Update: I think my phone is working again.

If you've tried to get in touch with me via my cell phone and haven't had any luck, that is because it is not working properly at the moment for some reason. So if you need to get in touch with me please do so via e-mail or my home phone.

I saw that new John Travolta/Samuel L. Jackson flick, Basic, tonight. It didn't suck as I thought it was going to... which was nice. It also has a pretty decent poster.. Sam Jackson has a cape for some reason, and that's fine with me. If you've got two hours to kill there are definitely way lousier movies you could see. I can tell you that much for certain.

I've decided my favorite Marvelous 3 song is "Grant Park". If you have the capabilities to do so, you should download it or try to find their album ReadySexGo! and give it a listen. Then you should let me know what you think of it.

Every so often I say something similar to what I'm about to say, and I imagine I'll continue doing so every so often. Anyway, what I was going to say was this, I feel like there have been some pretty decent updates as of late and I hope all of you are catching them all, and if there's a chance you haven't then please feel free to scroll down and check them out. Then, if you're feeling brave, maybe even wander down to the bottom of the page where the rubot's legs are and check out the "Archives". I know some of you have probably already seen it all, but there are some new people here who might enjoy some of that "old" stuff. I think I'm done now. Thanks so much for your time.
Best wishes always,
Chris Haley

My DVD collection. You can find out what you'd like to borrow.




You're most like the laid back bounty hunter.
You're the cool headed Spike. Not much gets to you...seemingly. You hold some inner pain, but you keep it hidden as best as you can. Inner pain or not, you are incredibly bad-ass.

For one reason or another, I've never mentioned this site before, but Comic Book Resources is a really good site to go to if you like comic books. It's pretty much what the name implies.

I just finished watching CKY 4. My review of it is unless you're just balls out for the CKY crew and everything they do, this is the only disc you need (as opposed to getting the box set with the other 3 CKY DVDs in it). But then again you probably won't even be interested in this disc unless you're sorta balls out for CKY already. So what I'm saying is this, if you're only kinda interested in checking out the whole CKY thing, get this disc as it serves as a CKY "greatest hits" DVD as well as showing their new stuff. This was a lousy review.. I apologize I'm on sleep inducing medication.

I made a bunch of changes to the "Art Gallery" section last week and forgot to mention it. If you want to check it out, you're welcome to do so.
At the moment, this sketch of Batman is my favorite pic from the entire gallery. I don't draw Batman much (because I usually screw it up real good), but I think this one is pretty ok. Any comments are both welcomed and appreciated.

New pictures from the Gamecube Mega Man game!!

"Hey, have ya'll got that new R. Kelly CD, Chocolate Salad?" - something I said to Edward as my impression of some of the customers we talk to

"Do you think Kalibak is tough because of super powers? Hell no, he's tough because of a lifetime of running his head into things. You fall off the roof into a pile of nails and trash enough times and you'll be a badass too." - Seanbaby on Kalibak, son of Darkseid from the Superfriends

Still sick. It still sucks. I don't even have enough energy to play Nintendo. Do you know how lame that is? It's real lame. Being sick is lame, and I hate it.

Being sick blows. Apparently I've got the flu or something similar to it, and it's kicking my butt all over the place.

Hip Today passed the 9,000 hit mark today. Wow..

In honor of the Academy Awards that took place over the weekend, I present to you this link to The Top 20 Performances by a Wrestler in a Motion Picture.

I found this link on Nate's site. It explains the internet. It makes a lot of sense.

Pete Yorn has a new disc coming out April 15 (which hopefully will be as good as his first album), and you can hear a sample of the first single "Come Back Home" here.

Great Quote Number One: "A lot of telling a good Superman story is how people respond to him. They have to respond differently to Superman that they would to Firestorm or Scarlet Witch. And it's how he shows up -- Superman's got to make a kickass entrance. You can have Scarlet Witch walk into a room and start talking, but Superman, he can't do that. I'm sure I've done it, but you're not supposed to. Superman's got to make a grand entrance. You've got to be like, 'F***, holy sh**, it's Superman!'" - Geoff Johns, current writer of The Flash, Hawkman, The Avengers, JSA, and the upcoming Teen Titans

Great Quote Number Two: "Superman resonates with everyone because he's an amalgamation of the legends we've loved for 5,000 years. He's Moses, Hercules, Icarus, and Jesus Christ all rolled up inside one American flag. He's the greatest fictional character of our time." - Mark Millar, writer of Ultimate X-Men, The Ultimates, and loads of other brilliant comics including the upcoming Superman: Red Son

While I like Steve quite a lot as a person, I'm afraid I have to point out the fact that he's been spreading lies to the good people of the internet. Whatever do I mean, you may be asking yourself as you try to wipe the Mr. Pibb from your monitor after hearing this shocking news. I'll tell you what I mean, he's saying that The Onion is the funniest site on the web. While I will admit that it is indeed a very funny website, for my money the two funniest stops on the internet are Penny Arcade (who's merits on the "funometer" were mentioned mere days ago), and Seanbaby.com.
Don't believe me?
This picture should be all the coaxing you need to check his site out and to have your face rocked with mighty fists of comic hilarity.


Also, in case you've never been there, this is honestly what CompUSA is like.
And this is honestly what funny is like.

Quote of the Moment: I Get Wet when the party is dying, I Get Wet without even trying. I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet, I Get Wet when I know that your dying, I Get Wet without even trying! I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet!

Sam has let me know that he has also started a website, and since he's good enough to check mine out on a fairly regular basis, I thought it only fair to let you know about his.

I got a mention on Dani's site a few days ago as the highlight of her day being the postcard I sent her.

Diesel Sweeties has managed to sum the situation up very nicely. As Edward and I discussed tonight, and you're free to agree or disagree with me as you please (as well as share whatever your feelings are with me), I don't particularly agree with why we've entered into this war, but now that we're in it, I think we as Americans should support our nation's decisions as a sign of solidarity. When it's over and done with we can talk about it's merits, or lack thereof depending on how you see it, to all of our little hearts' content. And of course, there's always the option that if you don't like being an American based on the choices our government is making, unlike some other places, you're free to leave and go become a member of some other nation... I hear Mexico is hiring.

DS also has some shirts available on the subject that some of you very well could enjoy.

I've never been to San Fransico, but their "Hometown Newspaper", The Examiner, has a really well written recap of the year in music 2002. They of course forgot to mention, Silverchair and Butch Walker, but no one's perfect.

Or if you prefer to hear how a Detroit newspaper thought the year in music turned out, you can click here. This paper also dubbed 2002 the Year of the Party, and I'll give you all one guess as to who was given credit for leading the charge to make this so.

Sweet (pun intended) Jeebus! You want to talk about a website that will make you want to go and eat chocolate, then look no further.

As you no doubt know, I'm a really big fan of Penny Arcade, reason being, it's funnier than I have the mental capacity or verbal skills to fully communicate to all of you. And as funny as their comics are (Which make no mistake, they are funny. Funny. Fun-nay.) sometimes they are really at their best when they're getting to rip into stupidity, whether it be in inanimate, human, or idealogical form. A perfect example of this can be seen here as Gabe goes to town on those who have the nerve to call the look of the new Legend of Zelda game for Gamecube "kiddie". Scroll down to where it says "More on Celda".

For those that missed the link before, here's the pictures from the 2002 Christmas Party.

This guy did something that's pretty darn balls out, and I'm going to bet a few of you are going to wish you'd thought of it first.
