Those 2 mormon guys Mar 19, 09, 12:35 p.m.

have just ridden past my window like they do most every day about this time.

They used to walk by, and sometimes to slightly trendier looking one would be walking about 10 yards ahead of the other, younger one who is a slightly larger fellow, who often looked sad.
I used to imagine that the older guy would verbally abuse the big one on the way home from Mormon school or wherever they go, and by the time they got to my house he'd just walked ahead in 'disgust' at the fat one not being a good enough mormon or something.

Might put some atheist signs up in the yard, try to tempt them in for a bit of a chat about spinoza etc.

Human Origins Rethink ? Oct 1, 09, 9:16 a.m.

Move over, Lucy. And kiss the missing link goodbye.
Scientists today announced the discovery of the oldest fossil skeleton of a human ancestor....and it lends weight to the alternative theories of human evolution that propose 1 man was created from mud, on a Saturday morning...

Walmart Shame Sep 23, 08, 8:45 a.m.

Boo.
After 3 years of not ever going into a Walmart store, as protest against their general corporate bastardness, meanness to employees, etc, my wife and I succumbed to the inexorabilities of the credit crunch and got some desperately needed groceries there last night. It was either that or not feeding the child as well as we could on the budget we had.
We both feel bad, like scabs or traitors, and are going to sooth our souls by volunteering at a food kitchen for homeless people.
Anyone got any other ideas on how we can make good on this ? : /

Lily Allen Jul 29, 09, 2:49 p.m.

Like, dislike ?
I'll admit to being a little hurt 'as a man', when I initially heard the lyrics of her smash hit 'It's not fair', in which she details an exboyfriend's alleged premature ejaculation. Luckily the track is witty and cute enough for this tale not to come across as being in poor taste.
I ventured to discover more of the young lass, who has a cute curl to her intonation and a bald-faced frankness to her writing, to find that many more tracks were aimed squarely at the poor choices of partner she has made in the past. Woe is you I thought, and tried to be snarky, but honestly I found her so forthrightly honest and fun that she really endeared herself to me, and I'd have to admit myself a fan.

I cannot drive a car. May 31, 09, 7:50 p.m.

There.
I said it.
Im nearly 38 years old and I can't drive a car.
To be honest, I'm really fearful of learning - people are lunatics, I fear that if someone cut me off, or acted dangerously around me, I'd go crazy and drive into them in a rage.
I really need to learn though - what if my wife of child needed a ride to the hospital ? Or just out for a nice day out ? My wife has to do all the driving at the moment and it's not fair.
Can anyone motivate me enough to try to learn ? You may swear, assasinate my character and call me names. It's pathetic. I'm 38 for fucks sake, what a little bitch.

Debt, Debt, Debt. May 20, 11, 7:04 a.m.

ALL this debt, it's all we hear about. Drowning in debt, runaway interest accumulating on all this debt.
To whom ?
To whom is all this money owed ? A small number of rich people ? If the money has been spent, where has it gone ?
Surely just back round again - it's never destroyed.
I suggest we all just massively 'default'. And start again, and see what happens.
The current scenario of the next 3 generations having to work to pay off our debt is totally bogus - it would be 3 generations working to pay off a small number of people's massively inflated interest-hiked debt. Fuck them, genuinely sorry - but you knew there was a risk 'investing' in us and expecting more back than you put it. You lost.
We're just getting on with our normal lives, we're not going to be your slaves for the next 50 years. Tough it out. The common good of 7 billion people is more important. You lost.

I (used to) love weed. Oct 31, 10, 6:55 p.m.

But have stopped smoking and don't really miss it too much anymore. It's gotten too powerful.

Band photos Aug 27, 08, 10:35 a.m.

Band photos are all crap.
There's always the 'craaaazy' one, usually the lead singer, pulling a face or looking really mean and into it, whilst the others stand there looking awkward like it's a bloody family portrait or nervously half-interacting with the antics of the 'crazy one'.

Arrested By Religious Loons Oct 2, 09, 12:06 p.m.

for 'looking' and possibly 'being' gay...
http://www.xtra.ca/public/Nation…

Homosexuality is strictly illegal in Dubai and the United Arab Emirates with Article 354 of UAE’s Federal Penal Code stating ‘whoever commits rape on a female or sodomy with a male shall be punished by death."

Speaking about the law in 2005, after 26 men were arrested at a party at an Abu Dhabi hotel, Mohammed bin Nukhaira Al Dhahiri, Minister of Justice, Islamic Affairs and Auqaf was explicit.

“There will be no room for homosexual and queer acts in the UAE,” he vowed, “Our society does not accept queer behaviour, either in word or in action.”

Well guess what, "Mohammed bin Nukhaira Al Dhahiri", we don't accept your fucked up, twisted, repressive outlook on people, and fuck you and your whole camel's backside of a country for acting like this.
Seriously, fuck you.
Hard.
In the ass.
Don't ever go to Dubai - they actually execute people for being gay.
What a bunch of cunts, the lot of them.

Christopher Hitchens Sep 13, 09, 7:01 p.m.

Just into my second round of the audiobook of his 'God Is Not Great - how religion poisons everything.' tome, and boy, especially with him narrating it, it is just exquisite, thoroughly recommended for believers and non alike - anyone else read it, or have an mp3 like mine that is filled with him, Dennet, Dawkins et al ?
Wanna trade atheist/religious debate podcasts ?

Uncool Confessionals Sep 3, 08, 7:41 a.m.

I don't really understand what the whole 'Aye Mon Then' thing is, or means, or even how to say it.

Idiot Test May 21, 08, 7:49 a.m.

From the BBC..
"Racial attitudes may also have motivated some Kentucky voters' decisions: of the 20% of white voters who said that race had played a part in their choice, nine out of 10 backed Mrs Clinton."

There really should be a screening question at the polling center doors..
"Will your vote be determined by the level of pigment in the candidates skin ?"
Yes ----> this way please - back out that door and into the parking lot from where you came.
No ----> Go ahead as you were, please use the pointed end of that magic stick to make what laughingly passes as your 'mark'.
I hope all their daughters run off with black men and return home only very rarely to taunt them with their beautiful brown babies.
Stinking shit-hole racist cunts.

Toilet reading.. Jan 8, 09, 4:28 p.m.

So yeh, I get so's I can barely actually go unless I'm reading something when sat on the throne..
I rush in, adjust clothing and sit, and become almost frantic to be reading.
If I'm really desperate I'll be flicking through my current 'read' trying to find my place before...oh...oh there we go... If I haven't got anything current, I'll even read the back of the toilet paper package or a shampoo bottle - anything.
Aqua (water), sodium laureth sulphate, sodium stearate, Yellow Lake 41, ammonium stearate...
At the moment, Im nearly done with Stones In The River by Ursual Hegl - A thoroughly excellent excellent novel about a dwarf woman living in wartime Germany. Very allegorical, very well written, but rather dense, like a good blue cheese - so 3 or 4 page sessions are perfect for the venue.
Anyone else got any ocd toilet/reading issues ?

Foreclosure Oct 15, 08, 9:16 a.m.

Anyone else a couple of weeks from being foreclosed on ?

Low Testosterone Apr 6, 10, 10:40 a.m.

So after accidentally wandering into the "IsItLowT ?" website, and taking their 'Have You Got Low Testosterone ?" online quiz, it informed me, in no uncertain terms that I have Low Testosterone, with its accompanying fat-gain, loss of libido, irritability and general loss of manly ambition and drive.
Has anyone else got the (shrivelled) balls to admit this, and has anyone had the treatment that I'll almost certainly 'Ask my doctor about' ?
For the record, despite being nearly 40, I've never been able to grow proper side-burns or a beard, and have never really had any great sex-drive or ambition. Thoughts ?
