Authority Zero

Good Luck in Japan and the overseas leg of the Warped Tour.

FYI, Authority Zero is a famous band from Mesa, AZ.
Chances are if you don't think you know them, you've probably have heard of them.

(PS Thanks for the Autograph, Jason!)

(PPS I also have an autograph from Authority Zero's old bass player, Jeremy. I can't seem to find it.)
(PPPS There are a few bands from the Phoenix area who have made it big, that you might not know, but do.

Jimmy Eat World
Phunk Junkiez
Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers (f.k.a. The Refreshments)
(There's probably more; I once knew a dude who knew Gilby Clarke)

(PPPPS I once heard that Infectious Grooves played at a high school talent show around here back in the early 90's. Not sure if that's true or not, but there's nothing wrong with believing!)

Abner, Sherlock and Half Life 2

I hope you all notice that Little Abner has inflated over 50 percent in the past 8 years. I hope you're all f'ing happy; this is your fault. Oil Futures, ethanol, corn prices, and global warming have nothing to do with this, just you!
Not to mention Mother and Father prices have increased about $1.50 to $2.00.
You're apathy will kill us all.

So anyway, I've been playing a lot of Half Life 2 and Team Fortress 2.
(By the way, TF2 is everything I dreamt it would be)
If you preorder Half Life 2: Episode 2 off of Steam (a program similar to iTunes, but for PC games), you'll get access to the beta test of TF 2 until the game officially releases Oct. 10. You also get the original Half Life 2 (if you don't already have it), Peggle Xtreme (a hilarious game like Plinko), Half Life 2: Episode 1, Half Life 2: Episode 2 and Portal (which looks to be an incredibly cool first-person puzzler). You can download Steam here.
I don't mean to gush over it, but it's a pretty awesome deal for $45.

I also just bought The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes Volume 1 at B&N for $8. I love it when awesome books are on discount. The book has a nice foreword about Conan Doyle and The Sherlock Holmes novels. It's super interesting.

I'm kind of wrapped up in these things right now, but once I get off my duff on Saturday, all of your dreams will come true.

I've got a whole bunch of sketches I'm going to scan and publish, and some fresh ideas for photoshops.

Not to mention, G.O.S.H. Detective Agency LLC will be in Alabama for Episode 4.
Remember to check out my MySpace page, it features funny music. Feel free to add me as a friend.

(PS I get sidetracked easily.)

Got Some Funny Stuff Coming Up

I'm working on a few funny things right now, so I should post some new material tonight.
In the meantime cruise over to my zooomr account and post some comments on your favorite photoshops.
Ok, See ya later.

(Ps I just prepurchased Half-Life Episode 2, so I'll probably be devoting some time playing the sequel to one of my all time favorite games, Team Fortress)

Colorado Farts

Hello fans of Generic Dave's Curry Consortium! Although I could barely sleep last night because of how excited I was to have been invited to be a blog contributor to GDCC, I had no idea what to write about! I knew it couldn't just be any trivial subject because after all I was going to be writing along side one of the greatest bloggers our generation has seen...Dave Wylie! Fortunately upon opening my eyes this morning it hit me. I would tell the world about a deadly gas that I hope Osama Bin Laden never gets a hold of...Colorado Farts. It all starts on a beautiful Colorado Saturday afternoon when the Jeff, Katie, Terence, Sarah and myself open up cans of Coors Light. Regularly this is harmless. However, we would later find out that the combination of Colorado breakfast eggs and Colorado Coors Light creates DEADLY Colorado Farts. At one point our hotel room smelled so bad that it affected baby Connor's sense of direction and he started crawling backwards. One member of this entourage that was most affected by this deleterious mixture confessed that "I could be shitting my pants right now and not even know it!" So readers beware. When in Colorado never NEVER mix eggs with Coors Light.

Doing Laundry at Jeff's

My washer and dryer are out of commission for a couple of weeks, so tonight I'm getting some essential laundry done. I miss my super upgraded computer, and I miss HL2 and Quake 4.
:(
No photoshop either!
Hmmmmm....what's this? MS Paint?!?

Cya!

(Ps. A baby (who shall remain nameless) really sucks at crawling.
Instead of going forward, he can only move backwards. According to The Official Rules of Crawling, 1971, "Crawling only counts if the baby moves forward."
There also was an amendment to this rule in 1984 that stated, "Only a baby moving forward shall be video taped."
Please don't tell the baby I told you this. It's not my intention to hurt his self esteem, but I still think you all should know the truth.
As we speak, he's unaware of these comments and is listening to "Pop Goes the Weasel" in a bouncy, chair-table-thing.)

Super Memory Upgrade!

I just upgraded the memory in my computer to 2Gb!
That means I will be able to multitask faster when I'm making photoshops, blog posts, and e-mails at the same time!
Here is how it looks in picture form:

I'm totally going to use this new upgrade to my advantage; I'm going to play Half-Life 2 and Quake 4!
Cya!

Ricky Cheez

I've created a new comic book concept I think you all will be pleased with. It is inspired by a coworker of mine name Ricky.
Here's the bad guy, Georgio Baldini

Here are Ricky's sidekicks: Pammerstud the Boy Ward and Angry Crapping Security Guard (He Hates Going to the Bathroom!)
Anyone want to greenlight this project for a cool million?

Sounds Like A Great Movie

Oh, wow.
A movie where Billy Bob Thornton plays an asshole in a comedy. I can't wait to see it. I sure hope it is number one at the box office.
I'd probably love a movie with BBT and Stiffler I if it was 1999.
Yeah, I'd probably watch this movie and The Matrix over and over again.
Anyway, I think the only movies that should be released this fall and winter are: 1) Movies where Billy Bob Thornton plays an asshole in a comedy. 2) Remakes of 80's cartoons. 3) Remakes of 80's TV shows.

Weird Dream (Again)

I had this dream I worked at another big company. At the company, I was responsible for filing paperwork for others to read. One of my coworkers started complaining that I was taking too long to file.
Turns out I wasn't the breakdown in the paperwork chain, it was this guy...

Turns out when middle management asked FCB (Frankenstein's Cowboy) where the breakdown was, he blamed me! Not only is he a douche, he has horrible fashion sense. Please don't tell him about what I said. I normally don't gossip, but I'm just a little bit upset.
Not only does he have the brute strength of the original monster, but he also wears a cowboy hat. You don't want to mess with that!

Changes to the Blog

Hello, Generic Dave (The USA, Arizona Version) here. I've got a few updates I want to tell everyone about.

New Hours of Operation
I'm not going to be able to post new content Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., so you all can check the site for updates either at nighttime, or the next day.
The reason for this is because I started a new super tubluar, top secret corporate job. They're pretty strict about wasting company time and money.
If you would like to keep abreast of all GDCC news, you can add me as a friend at www.myspace.com/strawberrysunshineusmc.
I send out a weekly newsletter.

Name Change
I've changed the name of the blog from "Generic Dave's Blogtacular" to "Generic Dave's Curry Consortium." It's not really that blogtacular anyways. I like curry a lot more than the combined words of blog and spectacular.
The name is also a reference to a Kinks song.

New Contributors
A couple of friends will now be contributors to the site! They will be bringing some pretty random stuff, which will include a horticultural column and possibly some gnarly emo poetry. I'm still looking for a few more to add content while I'm at work.
If you would like to contribute, you can contact me at the MySpace above or you can dwylie86@yahoo.com.

G.O.S.H. Episodes
I'm planning on releasing G.O.S.H. episodes every Saturday. They will be presented in a serial format with lots of cliff hangers. Once a story arc is done, I will post complete episodes. The reason for this is it takes me about 8 hours to compile about 2 minutes of footage.

Is Rich Baldwin Related to the Famous Baldwins?
Good question.
No, he's not related to the Baldwins. My theory is that he is a super classified, human genome project. I believe government scientists combined all of the Baldwins' DNA together in order to create a super being with a golden voice.
Some say (actually just me) that Richard Baldwin's voice can cure cancer!

Keep checking out the site and tell your mom! I mean your friends! Tell your friends!
