3rd Party Politics

In a recent victory for democracy everywhere, MTV Europe has announced that one Rick Astley was awarded the final slot on the ballot after a fierce write in campaign for its upcoming award show's newest and most humbly titled award Best Act Ever!!! Please do what ever you can (vote, many, many times - that is pretty much it) to help us get past this final hurtle and into that winners circle. Up against the staunch competition of Britney & Christina, U2, Green Day and some tutonic teenage emoster named Tokio Hotel, Rick needs your support in 2008.

Google: About to enter that awkward phase between being a cute kid and an angry teenager.


Yeah I know this isn't exactly news, but you're good friend Hollywood here had a little problem getting the ol' porn box working at 100% capacity. Props to Jester for being a good wing man and teaching Hollywood where his missing and hilarious posts disappeared to. 10-4 good buddy. Any way...


Google is celebrating its 10th birthday with a feature that's only amusing until you run out of ideas for websites you were interested in in 2001. By checking out the Google homepage you have the option to search the index based on what was available as of January of that year. I'll save you from having to click Start-->All Programs--->Accessories--->Calculator. 2001 was only seven years ago. I don't get it either.


Back in 2001 you'd find a search for Texas Dog Party to be 94% less disappointing when the second search result provides a detailed description of Texas House of Representatives Bill No. 1389, which as we all know amended Chapter 42 of the Penal Code (note to self, grammar check penal before posting) by adding section 42.101 which relates to creating the offense of fighting between a dog and a hog.


The bill specifically specifies the situations in which it would be considered a hog and dog are fighting. It could mean a dog attacks or fights with a hog. Or it could mean a hog attacks or fights with a dog. Or it could mean the hog doesn't appreciate the dog any more and went out for a long night of drinking with his buddies and then came home and bitch slapped the dog. Yeah, took the lay up on that one.


The ninth search result brings you to Texas Dog Party's first attempt at a website, Texas Dogs Online. Now remember this was back in 2001 when everything that was online needed to have online in the title or we wouldn't know where to find it. Is it out in the garage? Did I leave it in the car? Oh sh!t that's right, the Texas Dogs are Online. Oh man I can't believe I forgot that! Insert smiley emoticon.......here.


A few pages later and you get to The Party Dog DJ Show List. Nothing funny there. Those are just damn good songs.


Hollywood out.

The Story So Far

Well done all - the first month and that awkward getting to know you phase of TDP is behind us.

::Press Play::


Remember that silly attempt at a mission statement, Hollywood's devastating confession, Adrian's awesome comment, all the other awesomeness and the things that tried way to hard to be, all the triumphs and the failures (and the epic fails), the laughter and the tears. Remember running through that field of grain taller than our heads, without a care in the world. Remember that unfortunate time I couldn't get to toilette in time and all the kids started laughing - no? Well I certainly do and I didn't appreciate it.

Some awesome made up stats:
  • Awesome Hollywood moments: 4
  • Epic Cougar fails: 7
  • Moments we tried to include Alan: 2
  • "Mailman" euphemisms: 3
  • References - Jester - made that went over at least 1/2 yr heads: 6
  • Really, really gay pictures of dogs in costume: 1
  • Non joke posts: 4?
  • Non joke posts that worked: 1 (TBD)
  • Fame: priceless

::end highlight reel::

Yeah...
