Net Enigma. Careful, she's young enough to be your daughter and in this town, she just might be.
Did you all want to see some pictures from Halloween? Well, like I said before, I didn't take very many since pretty much everyone else had their cameras out. So, Finley finally got around to posting up his pictures and now, I can link them for you. Take a gander at Halloween 2003.
Mug shot
I was going to post a mug shot of Michael Jackson but, hey, everyone's doing it. Besides, I'm not into horror flicks.
Oh, and this just in, MJ has a web site spouting his innocence. Please feel free to hack away, replacing his heart-felt letter with all the child porn you can find.
In this department
It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. During an induction ceremony to the KKK, Jeff Murr was shot in the head when a round, originally fired in the air, came back down. All we need is for a few more of these guys to shoot in the air. In no time we'll have that racial problem fixed up.
Hang'em High
John Muhammad is guilty and now the jury votes to put him to death. Yay. My boss and I talked about it yesterday at work. We figure hanging would be appropriate...after all, the noose would be reusable and hey, one size fits all.
Dangerous toys
It's that time of year when parents are shopping for that special toy that will make their kids happy come Christmas morning. The Lion & Lamb Project has put out a list of 12 toy brands they find violent and not suitable for kids. Mentioned are toys like Power Rangers, Transformers and X-Men. But, nowhere on the list do I see the really violent toys.
I mean, where is the outrage over Donkeytron? A monkey with mechanical arms, fused to a dozer tread, who's sole purpose is to destroy the Earth (or at least bring my forums to their knees)? Don't be fooled by the innocent look on his face, this beast is pure evil...
I don't even want to go into G.O.A.T. I shudder at the thought of kids playing with that menace to society.

Net Enigma. Running for governor.
So, the President is headed for the UK this week and there's a lot of debate over it. I guess the Brits don't really want to see him and, well, we don't really want him all the time either so I know what you mean.
But the things that blew me away were some of the security measures they wanted for him. Reinforced walls at Buckingham, blast resistant curtains, a Blackhawk hovering over the Palace for his whole stay? Come on, it's fucking London not Baghdad. Bush's biggest problem will be converting English to Texan.
Wacko
Michael Jackson's ranch got searched yesterday for evidence in another child abuse case. Can't we just send him somewhere...else? Because, really, who cares about this guy anymore? He's just a freak that, if he didn't have money, would probably be locked up in a padded room somewhere.
Average Joe
HAHAHAHA! So, this was the third week for "Average Joe," the dating show staring geeks and freaks as the dates for a hottie. I talked about it the other day so you should know the idea of the show.
Well, in the second show, last week, the broad had to eliminate 6 guys and she pretty much picked everyone over 200 pounds and sent them packing. Couple exceptions to that, though, as she got rid of the not-yet-out-of-the-closet gay guy and maybe one other that didn't fit that description.
But, last night was really funny. Down to 6, she had to get rid of 3 and did...picking the right three to get rid of. Then there was a turn of events that they have been talking about for 2 weeks now. I saw it coming, I'm sure anyone that's seen the show saw it coming, but it was still funny to see.
Monday night, after she got rid of No Personality, Desperate Geek and the PHD Candidate they sprung the "surprise twist" on the three chumps left. The door opens and in walks Calvin Kline, GQ and GAP. This was the same Calvin Klein that teased the hottie in the first episode...needless to say she looked pretty happy to see him and his friends.
The game is on! But, I guarantee she picks one of the billboard models...My money is on GQ. She might not, just because that would be expected, or she may really be digging Zach (even though he's a typical NYC loudmouth) and maybe he'll still pull out a dark horse victory.
I'll have a good laugh though.

This just in: 100's of bandwidth-stealing forum posters the world over have just been OWN3D.
Jimbo's World of Fun is just an example.

Net Enigma. When you close your eyes, do you dream about me?
Odd week for me. I've had all sorts of weird dreams starting about a week ago. I wake up with one of those "what the hell?" dreams and then promptly forget it by about 8:30. But, I'm left with a goofy feeling all day because I know I had a fucked up dream (that I can't remember) and that I should probably find some meaning in it.
Whatever...8:00pm rolls around and I veg out to the Satanic Square Box and forget about it.
Scandal
Not really, but...Paris Hilton has finally contributed something useful to the world. Porn. Seems that her ex-boyfriend videotaped a session and is now releasing it or something.
Anyway, I found a clip on another site. Ralph checked it out and, since he's my Paris Hilton expert, said it looked like the real deal. So, what do I do with this information? Make it available to you, my faithful readers.
Okay, the Paris Hilton sex video has been taken down for bandwidth and file space reasons.
Music
I have an unhealthy attraction to The WB shows. First it was "Buffy" and "Dawson's Creek," closely followed by "Angel" and "Roswell." Then, as time went on, new shows came along like "Smallville." This year The WB has given me "One Tree Hill."
Now, when this first started off I was pretty happy with all the hot broads it tossed on the screen every week, but disappointed in the fact that the very plot almost dead-ended this show at 2 seasons (if it's even popular enough to make more than 1 season). Well, I stuck it out because, hey, hot broads. But, over the last couple of weeks it's become a must-see show as far as I'm concerned.
The writing has picked up, the plots have gotten away from being strictly Brother v Brother for basketball stardom and the characters have become interesting. And, hot broads.
Anyway, the other thing that the show has done is carry on the WB tradition of giving us hot, new music every week. Out of all the possibilities for giving you a listen, I chose the theme song from the show. It's a tune called "I Don't Want to Be" and it's by Gavin DeGraw. I haven't had MP3's for download for a while so hey, special treat:
I've taken the Gavin DeGraw - I Don't Want to Be MP3 offline as well as the Paris Hilton video.
Housekeeping
Finally got around to taking the link off the top for the "128 Hottest Chicks" contest. But, don't fear, it's not gone. Look over on the left for the new link. The banner over there will take you to the final bracket that lists the winner, Elisha Cuthbert, along with all the rounds and the votes. And, as a bonus treat, one picture for each chick has been linked from that page. So, go back, reminisce, drool over the broads and wait till the first of the year cause we have something else coming up for you then!
Looking for someone
I'm looking for someone that I knew about 10 years ago when I was in college. Her name is Tami Reynolds and she's originally from Glens Falls, NY. I don't know where she is these days but if anyone stumbles across this site and knows her, .

Net Enigma. I did nothing. I did nothing and it was everything I though it would be.
Revolutions. Not us against the British, Neo against Agent Smith and the machines.
Dropped into the theater on Saturday to catch the final chapter in the Matrix trilogy and I have to say that I was not disappointed at all! After the painful 2 hours that was Reloaded I was hoping for redemption in the final chapter and I got it.
Flawed? Yes. Left some stuff out? Probably. Do I care? Nope. It was 2 hours of story that got back to what I loved about the first installment of this franchise. Spoilers are sure to follow so if you don't want to know, stop reading now.............
Okay, the movie kicked off right where Reloaded left off with Neo in a coma and Agent Smith in a real-world body. Morpheus and Trinity have to face off with the Merovingian in order to get him back and the fight leading up to that totally is reminiscent of the first film and totally rocked! Monica Bellucci's boobs hung out of her dress (tell me again how she didn't win "The 128 Hottest"?).
La la-la...big guns, wicked martial arts and some more head-games. Smith is taking over the Matrix and Neo realizes that what the Oracle has been telling him all along is that one of the things that makes humans, humans, is the ability to choose. Finally understanding that, and realizing that neither side can ever win in the battle for control of the planet, a balance must be struck.
And the plan is hatched. Neo and Trinity make a bold move to go to the heart of Machine City while Morpheus and company return to Zion to defend it from the Squids. The awesome FX that the original Matrix is known for were on display as both of these major events unfolded. I've never seen so much ammo spilled since Rambo retired. The fight on the dock in Zion is everything that a Mech Warrior movie could be (huh, huh? Anyone?) and the trip to the Machine City shows Neo unleash enough "force" to make Yoda jealous.
In the end Neo has made his choice, Trinity has made hers and a balance is struck to appease both sides of the war. Showing us that sometimes there can be no winner or loser. We just have to make choices and that the ability to choose is what makes us who and what we are.
Anyway, this movie saved Reloaded for me and I really liked the final film enough that I hope they dazzle me with a 50 disk Super Deluxe Ball-cradling DVD release of all 3 films next year. I'll give this film, and the trilogy, 3 out of 4 wheels of cheddar.
Side Note
As a side note on The Matrix, something that I didn't really get until a month ago was the Merovingian. I read a little book called "The Da Vinci Code" this fall and it puts a whole new spin on a couple things in this set of films. If you get a chance, read that book and then catch all 3 of these films and I think you'll find some deeper meaning. You know, the kind of stuff that this web site doesn't lend itself too.
And what does...
It lend itself to? This web site, I mean? How about random porn?
The other thing we like to do here (now that "The 128 Hottest" contest is over) is the Hot Broads You've Never Heard of feature.
Today I have two broads for you to keep an eye on. The first is a hot little 19 y/o number named Olivia Wilde. She had a forgettable, short-lived TV show this fall. What won't be so short-lived is her undeniable hotness. Olivia / Olivia
Next up is a 22 y/o cutie from Arizona that's been relegated to a secondary role on another new TV show this fall. Playing Anna on "The O.C." Samarie Armstrong is destined to steal the show and your hearts. Samarie / Samarie

Net Enigma. We write stuff!
Halloween 2003. It went off without a hitch in southern PA this past weekend. Saturday night we cranked it up at Finley's and partied till 6:00 a.m. Sunday morning. After 4 hours of sleep I was back up and headed home.
Tons of great costumes, good food and plenty of snacks. Good conversation and maybe a set of boobs or two. I didn't take a lot of pictures so I'm relying on the Crew to post their shit for me to link.
However, I did take one shot that I'll share with you now. The fact is, that this costume was so hot, people couldn't stop talking about it all night. And I have to give Seth a lot of credit, he's a hot bitch.
Hopefully someone else will have more pictures of him in this outfit...Or, I get my hands on the videotape. Because not even his wife would believe that!
Just Average
Watched the latest reality show last night, "Average Joe." This is another one, like the first "Joe Millionaire," that I had to watch just because the idea behind it was so F'ed up.
Similar to "The Bachelor," this show has a hot girl that is looking for a boyfriend/husband in a group of guys, 16 for this show. The twist, these guys are your "average Joe" off the street. They are computer geeks, accountants, 7' tall, 400lb monsters and a token gay-but-not-out-of-the-closet nerd.
I laughed and laughed.
The broad is a 5'4" honey who's represented Missouri as a Miss USA and was an NFL Cheerleader. The accountant can spin 5 hula hoops.
When the night came for her to meet the guys she was waiting at the door and a white stretch limo pulled up. Out jumped a Calvin Klein ad that promptly told her that, although he wasn't one of her guys, that she was about to meet a bunch of great people.
Then the bus pulled up and out stepped the gay-but-not-out-of-the-closet nerd and the look on her face was priceless! She kept up a good front but even she was heard to exclaim, "Oh God, this is bad!" before she was even 3 guys into the introduction. With one or two exceptions, there isn't a guy in that pool of men that she'd give the time of day to in a public place.
I now have to watch this show. More updates to come as the Geeks rule NBC.
Redemption
The Cowboys, even in a 1 and 15 season, can always make Washington their bitch. When they are off to a 5 and 2 season start they can beat up on them worse. Even with a ton of turnovers, the Cowboys pulled out a 21-14 win this past weekend. Nice.

Net Enigma. Putting the "action" back in action figure.
Alright, last night was Halloween but tonight is the night we party! Hitting up Philly with a costume, 4 pounds of spiedies and my drinking shoes. Pictures to follow Monday.
