Here's a picture I'm uploading for Gen Con. Yay.

Spawning is changing my favourite publications.

I think the people at the Onion are getting old, bitter and are spawning. It's good to see that their generation is screwing their anger into a tight little ball and unleashing it upon us, the readers, but also hoping that their rebellious teen isn't interested in their parent's work to care.

I also notice that the people posing in the pictures are getting bald-er.

Rewiring Jesus for the new age

2006-04-13T12:31:00.000+10:00

Those wacky Gnostics want to ret-con Jesus some 1700 years ago. For those who haven't been following, the Gospel of Judas has been unleashed by the National Geographic Society. Here's the crux of the thing.

Jesus: "Judas, I want you to betray me to the Romans."
Judas: "Done."
Jesus: "Your reward will be great."
Judas: "Done."
Jesus: "Now, before you say no, I want you to know that I.."
Judas: "I'll do it."
Jesus: "Judas, you're not listening to me, Judas."
Judas: "Where's my betraying hat? I knew I put it down somewhere."
Jesus: "Also, I'm having a...get together. It's just me and the disciples. I know we're close but, maybe if we weren't seen together...well, you know."
Judas: "Oh. I see."
Jesus: "But don't...don't worry. There'll be a Second-Last Supper. Just you and me."
Judas: "..."

Is this new conspiracy going to change anything? Most likely not. Probably just give the Gnostics the impetus to sue Dan Brown.

I remain unsaved and hellbound. By reading this, you'll all be there to cushion my fall.

You WANT this man in charge of your security?

"What stands out to me the most in this particular case was the fact that Brian, on his first conversation with our undercover detective, who he believed to be a 14-year-old girl, clearly identified himself as a deputy press secretary for Homeland Security."

It seems to me that if you want to impress a 14 year old girl, all you say is 'I own my own car and I play in a band.' Just goes to prove the paedophiles of today are out of touch with today's kids.

Jewel Kilcher - Singer, Songwriter, Agent of the Mythos?

2006-04-04T13:27:00.000+10:00

"Kiss the Flame" by Jewel Kilcher came up on my playlist. It all seems pretty normal until she starts shilling for the Elder Gods with her superliminal propaganda.

"Cause I'm tired of all these pilgrims, these puritans, these thieves. Of all these unbelievers who whittle love down at the knees. Let these swift roads destroy themselves, Let the world fall into it's sleep, For we shall be spared, We shall be left standing, To face what's left of concrete and honey."

After sorting through the neo-pacifist babble, here's a translation: Only the true faithful will survive when Great Cthulhu rises from Ryleh. Worship him and praise his name.

"Kiss the flame, Let's run with the hunted, the untamed. Kiss the flame. Embrace the faceless, the unnamed. Kiss the flame."

Translation: Also, worship Hastur.

Not enough proof? Here's a line from her song "Down so long"

"I've been down so long that the end must be drawing near."

When Jewel makes a break for the ocean, I trust you'll be converting with me?

Now I understand shame...

They ask, "So Alex, why don't you role-play any more?"

"I was disbarred," I say.

I don't understand. Did...did you fall?

It's true, you CAN accidentally have sex with a prostitute.

http://edition.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/11/25/bush.brother.reut/

'The Bush divorce, completed in April after 23 years of marriage, was prompted in part by Bush's relationship with another woman. He admitted in the deposition that he previously had sex with several other women while on trips to Thailand and Hong Kong at least five years ago.

The women, he said, simply knocked on the door of his hotel room, entered and had sex with him. He said he did not know if they were prostitutes because they never asked for money and he did not pay them.

"Mr. Bush, you have to admit it's a pretty remarkable thing for a man just to go to a hotel room door and open it and have a woman standing there and have sex with her," Brown said.

"It was very unusual," Bush said.'

I'm sure the Bush boys had a bit of a chuckle about it.

Little did they know that these women are actually here to clean the room, no doesn't often mean yes and they're not struggling because they "like it rough".

My Conservative Friends, Cum Out Of Your Caves!

I'm linking to the Herald Sun but I swear, I didn't swallow.

"Friend of the Unions" Kim Beazley seems intent on riding the luddite wagon into oblivion. I wonder how the cheese-filth encrusted scrotum of (L)owest (C)ommon (D)enominator Australia must taste. Certainly not like victory.

Maybe we want to use something that might actually work for the people so concerned with R18+ content.

• A big sign with 'Jebus is watching you'?
• Maybe a quickie 11th Commandment?
• Fred Phelps on prime time TV yelling vague, incoherent, brimstone-related threats?
• Roving bands of trans-gender censor mutants?

Admittedly, the last one is a vanity project.

Tori 1, Aaron 0

From IMDB. The title is about as far as I should have read - that way I would have walked away with a chuckle, rather than quiet indignation.

"Tori Spelling's parents have reportedly stopped talking to her after poking fun at her mother in a recent episode of her new show."

Being dissed by Tori Spelling. It's like losing an argument with furniture.

The Guardian, must spend so much time and money purposefully generalising articles.

"We mocked their make-up and giggled over their gloom. But the goths are taking over the country. "

I guess that means we're one step closer to having American foreign policy dictated by The Cruxshadows. Cos if we have to have a drug-addled simpleton running the country, I want to be sure he can lace Rumsfield's corset.

Beats Skull & Bones I guess.

God Hates Lambs

2006-03-21T09:08:00.000+11:00

If ID is the one true theory, then that giant God being hates lambs.

There are many reasons why this poor creature is doomed.

1.) Leg of Lamb.
2.) It can't run.
3.) It's delicious.

What kind of god keeps deliberately making delicious, stupid and/or slow animals? Why make the cow - unless of course neatly cropped grass is part of that macguffin plan you keep trotting out?

Don't get me started on Darwin.

Personal blog rules - applied haphazardly, moderated unsuccessfully, scattershot logic:

1.) Whining reserved for special occasions. Festive Whining.
2.) No cam whore-esque plea for sympathy. Occasional cam whore-esque plea for goods or services.
3.) No attention to detail, except where warranted. Warranting occasionally warranted except in cases where typing the same damn word (or it's variations) over and over causes it to lose all meaning. Oh yeah, 'warranted'.
4.) Jocular tone throughout - occasional maudlin lapse where necessary.
5.) No context given for nerdy jokes.
6.) No links to poorly written 'what salad am I' type personality tests. And I'm Waldorf.
7.) I'll start as many damn sentences with a conjunction as I wish. See rule 6.
8.) More amendments will follow.

That is all.

Thanks for reading, going back to life of crime now.
