In yet another example of the perverse sense of humor of the universe, an Indiana Wiccan stabbed herself in the foot with a sword while conducting a good-luck ritual.
MSNBC shares with us the story of Katherine Gunther, of Lebanon, IN. While performing the ceremony under the light of a full moon1 in a cemetery — […]

Calorie Lab Posts Lies, Defends Itself by Attacking the Messenger
Published by July 19th, 2008 in General Foolishness. 1 Comment“Calorie Lab” is a website that ordinarily publishes more or less useful commentary on diets and diet plans, generally skewing to the reality-based side, but this last week they published a very credulous workup of Stanley Burroughs and his “cleanse” diet plan here.
The article presents the diet in a more or less legitimate sounding light […]
Or not, perhaps. Delia Derbyshire was apparently responsible for the mix of Ron Grainer’s Dr. Who theme in 1963, but damn, she did some other innovative, amazing work in the analog era.
Hit this link and listen to her piece under the ‘Timeless’ header; or just hit this.
That was last week, right?

On the Quantity of Methane in Unicorn Emissions
Published by July 19th, 2008 in General Foolishness. 0 CommentsYes, another reply to a riposte from James Lileks of the Minnesota Star-Tribune. If it keeps up at this rate I might have to add another category.
Thursday he was in rare form, and opened with a nice salvo:
Another day in the Land of Inversion, where the obvious is not an option. I heard more interviews […]
BREAKING: Black Man Refers to Blacks as ‘Niggers’
Published by July 17th, 2008 in You Must be F***ing Kidding and General Foolishness. 0 CommentsOh, those terrible liberals and their too-free plays on words. Fox News, the leader in unbiased nonslanted Actual Journalism, reported that while Jesse Jackson was saying he wanted to cut off Barack Obama’s nuts, he also used the other n-word when referring to negroid negro dark black people.
The horror, the horror of it all! Damn […]
It’s surprising sometimes what you can lapse. Remember Bomb Pops? The red-white-blue multi-veined popsicles peddled from the back of the ice cream truck?
Well, okay, maybe not — and this isn’t a post about childhood nostalgia nor longing for the Days of Old When Things Were So Much Better, gag.
Several months ago I began re-ripping my […]
It was the title on the post that got me.
“What Men Really Want for Father’s Day”
It’s pretty simple. Men aren’t complex. For birthdays, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Passover, we all want basically the same thing.
What baffles me, at least, is why this clear desire is sublimated into political agendas, subterfuge and chaos.
What do men really want for […]
There doesn’t seem to be a lot of comment on the fact that Gm has announced a shutdown of four plants; the facilities were producing trucks and SUVs, and only an inbred cretin like Bush could possibly be surprised at the news “news” that big fat-assed gas pigging vehicles are not what we want or […]
A Cavalcade of the Clueless
Published by June 2nd, 2008 in General Foolishness and O, Pine With Me. 0 CommentsOne of the problems about the claim of the US being “the lone superpower” is that the claim is patently false. While it’s true we’ve got a hell of a lot of nukes, what we don’t have is an infrastructure to speak of (focusing our entire economy on service and nonskilled labor for the last […]

Good? Definitely. But … but what if your kink is a para or quad … and science, not caring at all, just up and refixes the situation in, say, 2021 or so?

The Difference of Twenty-Four Hours
Published by April 30th, 2008 in General Foolishness. 0 CommentsI’d like to take credit for this, but I can’t. Las Vegas didn’t make their smog go away overnight because I advised them to do so yesterday.
The real cause? Twenty-four hours of steady southwesterly wind, approximately 20 MPH, with gusts to 40.
It will be back, though.

Ordinarily I don’t mention when I un-roll another blog, but I thought I should go into why I’m not following Pandagon any more.
The warning signs came a few months ago when Amanda was still pushing for Edwards. At one point in an entry, she was dispensing advice on how to affect primaries so Edwards would […]
