<p>However, Twitter was all, uh, atwitter with rumors of his death, as was Wikipedia and other similar sources that <em>we all take very seriously.</em></p>
<p>In order to do my part and offer clarity to the confused, I set up the following website you may visit in the event that you ever have any questions as to the status of Limbaugh&#8217;s life:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.IsRushLimbaughDeadYet.com"><strong>http://www.IsRushLimbaughDeadYet.com</strong></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Thank you for your time. Hopefully Limbaugh&#8217;s people contact me.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>a few days ago i put up a silly craigslist &#8220;casual encounters&#8221; ad as a way to kill some time with a dumb laugh. i never expected anyone to reply to it, as i never anticipated anyone actually liking Motley Crue. here&#8217;s what i posted:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-216" title="origad" src="http://www.hijinx.nu/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/origad.gif" alt="origad" width="376" height="586" /></p>
<p>and even though i wasn&#8217;t prepared for any responses, i sure did get a few. i know at least a handful of these are just spambots, but something in me says that many of them are legit. had i been better prepared, i would have dedicated some time to responding to some of these and creating even more ridiculous conversations. but perhaps that&#8217;s a project for some other time. for now, here are the type of people who enjoy Motley Crue, nachos, and making out:</p>

<p>Hello I was checking out the casual encounters posts wondering what I was going to do tonight and came across your post&#8230; I must admit I&#8217;m definitely interested.  Did I mention I&#8217;m also from Inland Empire?</p>
<p>Hope you can keep up with me, and expect looks from other guys when you take me out for a night on the town in San Diego.  I&#8217;m a big Lakers fan if you can believe that, so you better be able to hold your own with me when it comes to sports.</p>
<p>Please get back to me I&#8217;m very interested in what an adventure with you may be like, in the meantime if you wanna see my pics theyre right here &#8211;&gt;    http://www.netmeeting1.com/inland/urfantasygurl    I also have yahoo and AIM if you wanna talk with me online just let me know.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>a few months back i bought the domain name rebel-alliance.net off ebay. considering domain names typically go for about $10, i paid a lot more and therefore a stupid amount for this domain name.</p>
<p>why would i do this? am i some sort of closet star wars jerk? no. it&#8217;s something perhaps even geekier. years back when i was 18 or 19 years old, i was obsessed with an E/N site that housed itself at the same domain name (an E/N site is what we used to call blogs before the term blogs was coined. except they were generally much more entertaining than blogs, because they weren&#8217;t just shitty musings on some jackass&#8217;s day-to-day affairs. they actually had <em>content</em>).  it&#8217;s years later now, but you can still see the influence of that site on my shitty blog here (i have shamelessly, yet admittedly stolen a handful of concepts from that old site). if you care, you can take a trip to days past and see what was so appealing to me by visiting the Wayback Machine&#8217;s archive of the site that captured my young mind <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.rebel-alliance.net" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>anyway, i&#8217;ve had the domain pointing to <a href="http://www.hijinx.nu/ran" target="_blank">this page here</a> since i&#8217;ve bought it, which is just a page indicating that the site is under new management, while mimicking the original site&#8217;s design and begging people to do the work for me and come up with a decent idea of what to do with the domain (it also links to the old owner&#8217;s <a href="http://www.waxeater.com" target="_blank">new blog</a>, which is almost as funny as the old rebel-alliance network). now i&#8217;ve pointed the domain name to this particular blog post that you currently have your stupid eyes on since i still have no clue what i&#8217;ll be doing with the domain.</p>
<p>but hey, comments are open, have at it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>i put up a new page on the site for some prank letters i wrote a few years back to companies. you can view the page by <a href="http://www.hijinx.nu/prank-letters/" target="_self">clicking here</a>, or the link at the top of the site (next to the <a href="http://www.hijinx.nu/sad" target="_self">happy</a> and <a href="http://www.hijinx.nu/sad" target="_self">sad</a> pages)!</p>
<p>the letters are me under various ridiculous pseudonyms acting like a moron to various companies. sometimes i get free stuff out of it, sometimes i get form letter responses, mostly i get ignored.</p>
<p>if i ever decide to write new letters, i&#8217;ll keep you posted.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>look, when someone <a href="http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com" target="_blank">passive-aggresively</a> demands that people do something, chances are they&#8217;re not going to do it&#8230; but rather, go out of their way to avoid doing it.</p>
<p>here&#8217;s a case study.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-163  aligncenter" title="toiletnote1" src="http://www.hijinx.nu/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/toiletnote1-225x300.jpg" alt="toiletnote1" width="225" height="300" /></p>
<p>This is a urinal from my work. For the past few weeks now, the sign you see above the urinal has been displayed. It&#8217;s a little hard to read the sign, so here&#8217;s a close-up:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-164  aligncenter" title="toiletnote2" src="http://www.hijinx.nu/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/toiletnote2-300x225.jpg" alt="toiletnote2" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>Look, I&#8217;ve been working here for years. Literally, years. I&#8217;ve wasted more time at this job then I really care to contemplate. In all this time I&#8217;ve worked here, I&#8217;ve spent a fair share of it peeing at this very urinal. In all that time, never have I noticed a lack-of-flushing problem. I don&#8217;t know who wrote this note. Our janitor is a laid-back enough fellow that I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;d ever give a shit who didn&#8217;t flush the urinal, as long as everyone kept their piss inside of said urinal.</p>
<p>But now, thanks to this sign, any time anyone goes into the bathroom and approaches this urinal, they are greeted with this sight:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-165  aligncenter" title="toiletnote3" src="http://www.hijinx.nu/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/toiletnote3-300x225.jpg" alt="toiletnote3" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>Maybe next time, leave well-enough alone and don&#8217;t start demanding we all start doing something we had, up until this point, already been doing anyway.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left">I&#8217;ve done a lot of stupid things, so really this shouldn&#8217;t be too surprising.</p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left">In December, after participating in NO SHAVE NOVEMBER and growing a mighty beard (which really isn&#8217;t too abnormal, I&#8217;m usually too lazy to shave), I made the not-so-well-thought-out agreement to participate in Mustache March. I also convinced a handful of my coworkers to do the same. After planning for months, and growing out a beard in February to ensure a spectacular mustache in March, my efforts have come to fruition.</p>
<div id="attachment_122" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 160px"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-122   " title="hpim0283" src="http://www.hijinx.nu/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/hpim0283-150x150.jpg" alt="hpim0283" width="150" height="150" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Prior to shaving, full beard in effect</p></div>
<div id="attachment_124" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 160px"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-124 " title="hpim0285" src="http://www.hijinx.nu/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/hpim0285-150x150.jpg" alt="Originally my thinking was that, if I'm going to do this, do it right: Hogan 'Stache." width="150" height="150" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Originally my thinking was that, if I&#39;m going to do this, do it right: Hogan &#39;Stache.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_126" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 160px"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-126" title="hpim0287" src="http://www.hijinx.nu/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/hpim0287-150x150.jpg" alt="That proved to be a terrible idea, so I went with the 80's porno 'stache." width="150" height="150" /><p class="wp-caption-text">That proved to be a terrible idea, so I went with the 80&#39;s porno &#39;stache.</p></div>
<p> And, so now, I am forced to walk around looking like a rapist. I have a job interview coming up this month, and anyone who willingly hires someone with a mustache is probably not someone I want as a boss anyway. I also have family gatherings to attend to this month, where I will have to explain my more-ridiculous-than-usual appearance. And, of course, not to mention the day-to-day chores and activities that will force me to be in the public&#8217;s judging eyes.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I am fucking dumb.</p>
