Raul is currently out getting his exhaust put in at ESH in Kailua. So he should be givin us 3" of flowmaster luvin' soon.

Is spam annoying you? As a public service to our readers, we have designated a tokenasians spam account. Feel free to use spamtrap@tokenasians.com for places that require an email address. Be warned, all mail send to that address will be sent to the proverbial /dev/nul (it will be discarded). So don't use it for sites where you might want to get mail from.

Annoyed by the 3 presidential debates? I mean, if they answered the questions, it wouldn't have been so bad. But instead they rambled on with their canned responses. Anyways, detonate.net has a parody of the presidential debates which captures the essence of the debates here.

Both azzo.com and pcnut.com have combo deals on 600hmz durons oced to 1ghz. So I'm seriously considering replacing the trusty NT box with a 1ghz duron setup (better watch out Raul, I'm gunning for your spot). Anyways, if anyone else is interested in the duron loving, check out a review of socket A heatsinks here.

I have been remiss in my posting and archiving duties. Fear not, because the monster project should be done tomorrow. For now, a few little items for your perusal.

Haha, and these predated the "Dazzy Dukes" fad, as Duice liked to call it. Blame Tef for this one.

A day or so late, but as promised, Patrick Roy photos courtesy of AP.

1. Roy in practice, showing his composure under heavy fire.
2. Roy being hoisted aloft by two teammates, including defenseman Ray bourque, left. The scene almost looked like a Cup win.
3. Roy cuts the net (with golden scissors) he was defending in the first and third periods (I think). The net, along with most of Roy's gear from that historic game, will make its way to the hockey hall of fame.

A micro WHAT?

LONDON (Reuters) -- A Briton born as a man with a "micro penis" 53 years ago before having a sex change won a court ruling confirming her legal status as a woman, a written judgement released Tuesday said.

Some pro-Linux silliness for you.

"So, so, suck your toe, all the way to Mexico. While you're there, cut your hair, don't forget your underwear!"

The "Pro Bono" Edition

I keep trying to get away from the practice of family law, but it keeps dragging.... me.... back.... in....

New cartoon of the moment is up. I was going to spam the cartoon of the day list, but I figured this was easier.

This rumor has been floating around for a few days because of Business Week, but IMHO it would be in Nvidia's advantage to buy 3dfx because they can get both Gigapixel and decent FSAA (not that crap that they're implementing now). Two geforce2 ultras running SLI makes me all excited.

Read the Register story here.

I have one of these mice and for $40 from Costco, it can't be beat. Read a review of the MS Intellimouse Optical here.

Playing Hookey

CHICAGO (Reuters) -- Calling in sick has more to do with being well in six out of every 10 cases, according to a study released on Thursday.

Commerce Clearing House, a leading publisher of business information, said a poll of 150 human resource managers in 41 states and the District of Columbia found that personal illness accounts for about 40 percent of unscheduled absences.

In the other 60 percent of cases family issues topped the excuses, at 21 percent, followed by personal needs at 20 percent and the "I'm-owed-a-day-off" mentality at 5 percent.

Read about how a drunken US soldier blamed Canadian beer for his disorderly conduct here. Maybe if he drank Budweiser, he wouldn't have been such a weak ass.

Seems like the bad publicity surrounding egghead and [H]ardocp RAM buyers keeps growing. The Register has just picked up the story here. Mmmmm, I smell a mass law suit.

Tractor Treads on Amorous Couple

Prague, Czech Republic (Reuters) -- A peaceful meadow proved a less-than-idyllic rendezvous spot for a Czech couple who were run over by a tractor during an amorous moment.

The "Token Feline" Edition

Up til 4AM playing hockey AGAIN

I know you have been all waiting for this (well at least two of you), but I am proud to bring you tokenasians.com's first tokenfeline. This cat's name is Pookie and her favorite pastimes include eating, sleeping, and watching The Brady Bunch.

Thought your 8x cd-r drive was the shit? Unfortunately it is a weak ass compared to the 12x plextor cd-r drives with BURN-Proof. Now availabe in SCSI and IDE. Check out a review of the scsi one here and the ide one here.

I can relate, I must be getting old. Why you ask? Check it out here.

Now, I'm not someone who supports police violence, but this guy deserved it. I mean, if you're pulling shit like this, you deserve to get jacked a few time.

The RAM wars are over and it looks like AMD and DDR won over Intel and RAMBUS. Looks Intel's arrogance has been taken down a notch. Read the story here.

1ghz the easy way. Check out azzo.com's 1ghz duron combos here. So cheap, I may have to retire the celery2 already.

The "It ... is ... alive!" edition

Well I actually fired the monster up, it should be roadworthy before the week is over.

A picture (or three) is worth a thousand words (or three). Vote Ralph. He reminds me of Ben Stein.

Bullshitbullshit ... bullshit

We have some idea where George W. Bush and Al Gore stand on health care, foreign policy and social security. But what about Napster and copyright claims, the issue that has taken the Net by storm?

For those of you still interested, the Star-Bulletin newsroom cam has been updated and improved. It's a good thing I don't work there anymore because you would clearly be able to see that I am slacking.

Muffin sends his greetings from sunny(?) Florida. Click on the picture above to see the postcard he sent and get the cheesy audio effects (will only be available until about mid-November). Drop him a line when you got time.

Egghead must hang

Egghead.com may end up with egg on its face after receiving and canceling dozens of orders for a memory module that was mistakenly priced.

Egghead customers say they have complained to the Better Business Bureau and are considering legal action against the company after it canceled their orders late last month for the 256MB memory module. Normally priced around $335, Egghead listed the module at $34.85 for several hours.

Okay maybe not AGAIN, but some dealing of dirties is in order. I won't mention names, but someone (WEID) recently almost sold off his motherboard because he thought it was broken but later withdrew the offer to sell once he found out it was only a silly installation error caused by the user himself. The BIOS PROM had a bent pin on it, due to improper installation. Tsk, tsk. Bad.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Patrick Roy eclipsed Terry Sawchuk's long-standing NHL record of 447 career wins, with a road victory over Washington. And yes, Bill Clement did call Washington's powerplay "a well-oiled, finely tuned machine." Pictures of Roy tomorrow.

The "No Work Today Again" Edition

That slack ass Raul is supposed to be doing content this morning. As he seems to have disappeared from icq, it falls upon me to do it.

Check out the new cartoon of the moment, on why it's good to be a man.

> anyone ever watch this show? its great. its on food network on cable on

I found this while trolling a newsgroup. Hmmm, a Iron Chef drinking game. Maybe a few changes and we can come up with a tokenasians version.

Think this is weird, ask Fordman or Penfold about the rhinos at the Portland Zoo.

Hehehe, he said wumpus. I smell a wumpus.

Remember the movie American Pie? Did you think it really needed a "don't try this at home" disclaimer? Here's proof that there are people really that stupid. I can not confirm or deny the accuracy of this story.

The "Late Night with Penfold" Edition

Raul is making up some excuse about not being able to post until he gets the car running and the garage cleaned. IMHO, he's just a weak ass. The Tokenfeline will be revealed shortly.

Now that Columbus Day has passed, you notice that the Feds got the day off while us state employees had to keep working. It's a conspiracy perpetuated by the oppressor man to show that he can continue to revere the man who began the subjugation of the brown and red man. Read about how the man further indoctrinates us through the use of video games to justify himself here.

Read about how Microsquish wants to put WinCE into cars. Yes, Bill Gates will rule the world bit by bit. Read the whole story here.

You remember detonate.net's bastardization of the Matrix. Check out this site for a bastardization of Cruel Intentions. I've never actually seen this movie, but I suspect that the bastardization is better.

Now you can choose between real presidential candidates vs. one who played one in movies. Let's try comparing the two: Both only speak scripted lines or look really stupid, both have their lives dictated by publicist, and both require big money to get the major roles. Hmmm, maybe Reagan had the right idea. Anyways, check out the candidates for the UGO Underground Election here.

Instead of choosing presidents by how well they can act, how about choosing them by how hot their daughters look. If that works for you, check out UGO.com's opinions on the hottest first daughters here. I'd have to go with one of the Nixon daughters.

The "Up Til 5AM Playing Hockey" Edition

First they had to deal with Mayor Barry who pledged to take crack off the street of DC on hit at a time. Now, they don't even have the right to vote for the people who govern them. And people wonder why all the whites live in VA. Read the whole story here.

The Yemeni government says they now have proof that the bombing of the US destroyer was planned. Talk about a huge stretch of investigative prowess. Read the whole story here.

LITTLEWHITEDOG.COM is starting off the week with a brand new contest!

Hey, they send us news, we just post it. But free stuff is always good. Enter the contest here.

As if they needed the help, with 1.2 Billion of them, they must be doing something right. Read the story about Dr. Judy Kuriansky trying to be the Dr. Ruth of China here.

Neck massagers, I know some of you know what's up with this. Guaranteed to get out any kinks you have in your "neck". Read about a challenge to Alabama's law prohibiting the sale or "marital aids" here.

The "I have no weekends" edition

So the H-men finally won. Was it just me, or was the level of penalties called just ridiculous? Of course, not all of that is the referees' faults, but still. Anyway, just posting to give equal recognition to a win. Hope they can put together more.

Here's a reader news submission, it's an interesting conspiracy-theory comparison between Ghost in the Shell and the Matrix. I have to say,some of the arguments are pretty good. Thank Schala for this one. And don't rag her about her HTML! Forgive her, for she Mac-limited. ;)

Well, everyone's favorite Flash site, Campchaos.com went and did a nice redesign and launched a new feature, Campchaos trading cards. I must say, the limited distribution cards are an interesting concept.

Gross, but cute. Precious few things you can say that about. Blame Julie for this one.

Townie syndrome

Stamford, CT -- Internet consulting firm Gartner Group predicts that growth in peer-to-peer girlfriends will explode in the coming months. "Right now the P2P girlfriends are in the hands of early adopters in the tech community. We think that by the end of the year they will have reached critical mass and move into the mainstream. We forecast that by 2003, 65% of girlfriends will be peer-to-peer," said consultant Dawn Haisley.
