My World. The end.

I'm a podcast addict. I will listen to these at work tomorrow.

We will never know, Patricia Cornwall wrote a very entertaining book on the Ripper murders where she claimed it was the artist Walter Sickert...

DNA match is pretty conclusive evidence, plus this guy was considered amongst the suspects.

From Hell to me will still be a good movie.

If I remember correctly it's mitochondrial dna, which is far more prone to contamination. Also, it has been on an article.of clothing passed around for 150 years. I'm not a Ripperologist, but I have a passing interest in historical cold cases and the Ripper is the Holy Grail. I'm still a fan of H.H. Holmes being a suspect.

Arthur Leigh Allen had nothing to do with Zodiac. Zilch. He could have written the letters, but he didn't. The man who was Zodiac wrote those letters and I'm quite confident he committed each of the murders alone and without an accomplice.

The most I believe Allen was responsible for was stalking Robert Graysmith and calling him late at night. This was because Allen knew Graysmith was an amateur sleuth trying to connect him to a case that, at that point, began to annoy him. Graysmith used this as further evidence that Allen was Zodiac. He was just an angry, sexually repressed white-guy who grew to hate the anonymity the Zodiac case brought him.

Whomever the Zodiac killer was, he probably came under the radar of law enforcement at some point, as all killers tend to do, even if it is just as a footnote somewhere in the investigative process. I don't believe he was any of the publicized suspects, as he seems to have been too wily to be one of those characters.

The last good book I read on Zodiac was the case for Earl Van Best Jr., written by his son:

Though hardly conclusive, this gentleman has interesting ties to the Zodiac case:

-He has a matching fingerprint to the one left at the scene of the San Francisco murder

-He has matching handwriting to the person who prepared the Zodiac letters (matched by experts)

-His name appears in the "My name is..." Zodiac cipher

-He actually looks like the composite of the killer (funny how not a single suspect before him did)

-Best of all: he had actual MOTIVE. Not for the commission of the crimes, per say, but of the fucking with the press that occurred afterwards. Specifically, with one San Francisco Chronicle writer named Paul Avery (Robert Downey Jr, to jog your memory) whom he hated with a burning passion.

Again, take anything and everything with a grain of salt in these books that claim to "solve" historic cases. If nothing else, they're great material for weekday nights when shitty TV is about the only thing that can pass the time.

That sketch of Zodiac kinda looks like D.B. Cooper.....

Maybe I will get into 1890's fashion?

Steampunk is a thing.

Is it me or it's been a fuckin' while since DangerousCurves posted?

Yeah, sorry. I've been pretty busy. I need to start coming in more often.

Believe In Me. I fucking love that album.

Psh. My first exposure to Josh was seeing him as "Radley" in one of my favorite movies, Thrashin'. I wasn't aware that he was actually active after that until I saw that he did the voice for KoHD spoken part...and he still sounded like Radley with that full on Valley accent.

Heh. I love watching these. I have lost count of the number of friends I've seen do this. Thankfully, I've thus far dodged the nomination. I'm pretty sure it is to save the world from seeing me in a wet tshirt....

I believe it was after the show.

I was listening to the latest Throwing Shade podcast and the hosts were interviewing Rhett Miller who mentioned his friendship with Tommy Stinson. He said Tommy invited him out one night to a show and then he was walking backstage. He said "I didn't get to meet Axl but I did walk past a room and the door was open and Axl was on a couch, wearing a mumu, getting his feet massaged by a small Asian woman." This made me laugh. Thought I'd share.

Yes. I grew up in a haunted house. My mom still lives there.

I have a strange name (Janese) and I think I'm ok. I get annoyed with unnecessary letters. "Gee, I think I'll name my kid Katie but to help her be a special little snowflake, I'll spell it Quayteigh..."

As for dealbreakers, I have had too many bad experiences with guys named Brian.

It's been....

18 years since Slash left

24 years since Steven was fired

21 years since TSI

23 years since UYI

27 years since AFD

29 years since GN'R was formed.

mumblenanana I'll never have agaaaaaain yeea

Get. Out. Of my head.

Adrift- 10 because we're cool.

You gotta give props to Slash for never promoting his stuff/shows using the words Appetite or Destruction, or both. I'm sure it's tempting.

Appetite for a World on Fire?

World on Fire for Destruction?

No trickery!

Slash's next album should be called "3 Hour Meeting".

I have more faith that a Sasquatch will be captured in Times Square than I have that a new album will be released soon....if ever.

Yeah, not a huge fan and hate his hunting. I don't like hunting at all although he does eat most of what he kills, but still, just go to the supermarket okay.

I know he's a good guitar player, but really his music sucks.

You do realize that the meat in the grocery store is also the result of someone killing an animal too, right? And if you think for a moment that it is more humane than hunting, you would be very wrong. Cows and pigs frequently either have their throats slit and they are strung up by one foot to bleed out or they get hit in the skull with a hammer and then strung up as before. Many are still alive at the time. You want to know about chickens? Seriously....meat at the grocery store doesn't just magically appear in packages.

I'm late to the shitstorm and I won't argue with people who refuse to see reason. My decisions regarding my body and the medications therein should be strictly between myself and my doctor. I notice that Hobby Lobby is just fine padding it's retirement accounts with stocks in the very same products they refuse to cover. What utter hypocritical bullshit. A corporation is not a person and therefore, has no religious beliefs. The end.

*starts up the popcorn machine and rolls out the hotdog cart*

3 Hour Meeting.

Kinda like 10 Minute Warning but more bloated.

I hate Barbi

Gia, you make me gigglesnort. You can hate Barbi and I'll hate Susan, ok?

Can we keep Fortus? Actually....with Fortus, Izzy, and Duff together on stage, the world may just implode from all the awesome in one place. Three of the coolest cats ever.

Done.

9/10

I love Civil War and SCOM. Catcher feels stilted to me, like he wrote a piece and put it down for two years, wrote another bit, put it down, etc. It doesn't flow for me.
