Hehe hungry-angry-lonely-tired is actually pretty good advice.

would it be too obvious to post a jpg from 'the californians'

there's a distinct awesomenessfest vibe about this amazing john mcafee saga:

John McAfee is a founding father of the anti-virus software industry, an inveterate self-promoter who built an improbable web security empire on the principles of trust and reliability, then poured his start-up fortune into a series of sprawling commune-like retreats, presenting himself in the public eye as a paragon of engaged, passionate living: "Success, for me," he has said, "is being able to wake up in the morning and feel like a 12 year old." But down in Belize, McAfee the enlightened Peter Pan seems to have refashioned himself into a kind of final-reel Scarface.

mcafee is now wanted for murder.

Now, every time my anti-virus software pops up, I will be reminded not to shove MDPV up my ass.

Thankfully for me, Peter Norton is one of the most boring people in the world.
