So far so good. It's small, underpowered, and not entirely attractive, but it gets the job done. (Sound familiar, ladies?)

Earlier today some hackers -- whose genitals should be filled with needles, set aflame, and extinguished with a baseball bat -- disrupted the server we were on. We've moved the site to a different server, which is why you can read this.

Parasite and Britney have joined forces to silence us! But we will NOT be muzzled!

Okay, it's more like our hosting company and a bunch of others have been hit hard by DOS (denial of service) attacks from a bunch of numbnutz. The blog may be slow and may disappear over the next several hours. Don't cry, scream, or panic in any way - our tech geniuses are on it. We apologize for any hassle or loss of erectile function.

Or, at least those of you who had the rocks to take part in our recent contest are: Blowing Smoke mastermind Kamal has decided to give you all prize packs!

Taleena was the one who got it right, predicting that Parasite would serve 23 days in the slammer. But all of you can collect your prize packs by sending an email to blowingsmokethemovie AT gmail DOT com and telling me:

1) The name under which you left your answer in the comments
2) The email address you gave at that time

Once I authenticate your entry, I'll get a mailing address for you and your prize pack will ship. Thanks to everyone for playing!

The boss is out of town, so any purchase of Blowing Smoke on DVD won't ship before July 5th. Until then, you can download the movie here!

If she's to serve her full sentence, Parasite will be in jail only one more week. How many days, total, do you think she'll serve? Answer in the comments here and you're in with a chance to win a giant Blowing Smoke prize pack, stuffed with a BS t-shirt, poster, hat, and humidipak. Happy pondering Parasite's misfortune!

We're still giving away free stuff! Parasite has moved facilities, but she's still in custody, so this is still anyone's prize pack to win. Enter in the comments to this post!

Maybe. It seems unlikely that there's more than one moped-based robbery gang in her neighborhood, but then again, it's London. I'm just glad she's not in the hospital like this other victim. And I hope these pieces of human garbage have fun in jail explaining that they went around robbing people on fucking mopeds. That sounds like a great way to become somebody's wife.

She just got mugged a couple blocks from her house. They didn't hurt her, but they grabbed her purse with all her stuff in it. If you live in London, please read her account and help find the thieving jizzrags if you can.

This is the second time she's been attacked in the last couple months, and it's pissing me off. It's time to take up a collection and help her move someplace safer, like Baghdad or the Klingon homeworld. Seriously, what the hell is happening to London?

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to Jim Treacher, Jackie Danicki, and all my friends from Blowing Smoke and around the world.

Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année!

FYI, we're having some issues with the comments system. Your patience while we get our resident techie genius to sort it out is very appreciated. Sorry for the hassle!
