as we may blog

The staff of asstastic.org is proud to present a brand new content module, the fruit of minutes of labor: The Friday 5:01 Song. Those of you who worked near me on Fridays at the ITS No Help Desk a summer or two ago remember the concept (and the bass). If you’re unfamiliar, get your downloader ready and prepare to r0ck.

Souces close to the The Content Webring have indicated that a huge addition to the roster could be in the works. Stay tuned to iversys.com for accurate and timely updates on this breaking story.

Due to server.com’s recent assholish behavior (check out the recap here), the Fake Matador Bulletin Board link (as well as several others in the “Bulletin Boards” category) has changed on the links page. I’m only mentioning this here in the hopes that the next iteration of Google will pick up on the new link from the front page and elevate the FMBB’s ranking in the index.

After doing a little Googling, I came across Foxxy - the Elite Webring of Content and Design. As intellectual co-pater familias of the Content Webring, I feel it is my duty to defend our turf and assert our claim as the world’s leading content provider. Well-wishers and members of the Content Webring can help. Search for “content webring” on Google and click on our link to boost our rating in the index. Foxxy - the Elite Webring of Content and Design, you have no chance to survive make your time!!!

Poll: Which content-based webring deserves the title “Universal Kings of Content?”

Asstastic is happy to present several updates for your weekend viewing pleasure. First of all, Jason Wolcott notched a fine sarcastic wiener recently. Second, rumors are swirling around the possibility of a Wing Challenge II event sometime in the near future. In anticipation of the onslaught of wing-related content seekers, I’ve fixed the broken images in the Wing Challenge 2002 Resource Center, so feel free to re-live the worst night of Robert & Mark’s bowels’ life. Also weigh in on the debate over whether to hold this controversial event a second time in the Ocu-Forum-sponsored Asstastic Forum 5000. The Content Webring has a new look — be sure to turn up your speakers. And last, but certainly not least, there are new pictures in the appropriately-named Pictures section! 10 new mug shots from mattscott5000’s semester in Washington, DC last spring as well as a new section that features desktop pictures on loan from Asstastic’s Permanent Collection. Enjoy!

New sarcastic wiener belatedly recorded. The newly-wifed Tracy Scott gets the assist this time around.

Not much to report, just wanted to clear out the cache, so to speak. Robert will notice that the Top 5 Sarcastic Wieners are now listed on the links at the left side of the screen, saving him the carpal stress of scrolling down the page. I’m still working on posting that sarcastic wiener, but my computer is so dreadfully old that I dare not open Microsoft Entourage and risk losing all these hard-earned millibytes of content. An internet photocopy of July’s “news” is available here.

At the risk of appearing more self-indulgent than I already am, here’s a lazy list of albums I’ve listened to while driving recently:

Superchunk / Indoor Living
Pinback / Blue Screen Life
Boards of Canada / Geogaddi (will I ever decide if I like this album?)
