[this is good], inaccuracies and all.
The price of, uh, somef–kingthing… is eternal something else, man. But you know, whatever. Hey, you see that episode of Lions and Christians last night? f–kin’ A! That totally kicks ass when they, like, die and stuff!

Though most people know of them already, I’m sure : like The Memory Hole, the deliberately unbloglike UnderReported is a good way to try and keep track of the sh-tstorm of lies and propaganda howling around our heads, as of course is the excellent and more weblogesque cursor.org. These sites invite you to draw your own conclusions, an invitation we too rarely receive these days.
Though undeniably entertaining, reading the ranting of bloggers is less rewarding, perhaps. Your mileage, as they say, may vary. Which is not to say that I’m going to stop ranting any time soon, but rather to note that you, dear reader, should most assuredly take it for what it is worth, which is bugger-all other than a bit of (hopefully) amusing wordplay.
It must be said, too, that there are times when one has to stand back and point, with some small measure of humility, at some of the diamond-bullet stuff bloggers are pulling out of their hats, ranty or otherwise, like this little juxtapotato from a certain maniacal South African down the block :
Here are some neat things you may not have seen before :
The Kostnice Ossuary. BIT-101. Tom Vu says if you have no money or no credit to buy property, don’t worry about it! It’s Time To Bone! (Edit : contains nasty Lego Porn and is not at all safe for Eeksy-Peeky to watch at work or anywhere else that freaky animated porn disguised as ‘art’ might be unwelcome.)
Share and enjoy.
You know, I keep wandering back to iconomy’s site every once in a while, going ‘Holy bugeyed monstertruck whiplash-inducing lemur crap, batman, this r0x0rs my b0x0rs!’ every darn time and then forgetting to link thataway, and share the goodness.
Today, I have broken the cycle. I am proud, no, humbled to offer you this link to some Really Cool sh-t. Enjoy.
Last week every second thread at the ‘filter seemed to have at least one mention of Neal Pollack, and how he’s tastier than pre-sliced cheese and better looking than that guy on the infomercial, you know, the one with the hair, and may or may not be America’s Greatest Living Writer. Me, I had no idea who this guy was.
So using the all the tools at my command, at great personal risk and expense, and by the grace of GOD, I tracked down his own Personal Website.
And he’s a pretty funny f–ker, you know?
…and not coincidentally fuque the Oil Industry barons who run America (and its foreign policy (yeah yeah, I know, No Blood For Oil is dipsh-t-lefty oversimplification)).
How? Here.
Now I know the Patriot Act (quite possibly to be extended indefinitely, is the word on the streets) is Bad, and the Bend Over And Feel Our Power Act (also known as Patriot II – The Second Coming) is Worse, but this, friends and neighbours, this is Insupportable.

The excellent Y0ung-Hae Chang Heavy Industries has come up with a new and very disturbing piece
0PERATI0N NUK0REA
which describes in horrible detail the death of Seoul under a storm of North Korean missiles. If it comes to that, I wonder if my wife and I will live through it, and if we will want to. Terrifying and unflinching.
Still, not to be missed.
Sure, it’s memetic, and as I’ve mentioned before, deliberate meme-propagation makes my sphincter itch, but it’s a (marginally) interesting idea, this bloggo-pollo-zeitgeistical stuff. A little penicillin’ll clear that up, yeah?
Blogpoll : Have your say — The War on Iraq
Also : Current results – strongly against, at the moment.
Lostintransit.org is a new site written by expatriates of which I’ve been asked to be a part, and for which I look forward with great anticipation to writing faux-intolerant screeds about Korea (and other Lovely and Welcoming Exotic Locales).
Once I get this pickaxe out of my forehead, that is.
An interesting and diverse group of people there, nicely rounded out by the presence of some Miraculous Poultry, if I do say so myself…
I’ve been casting my nets a little wider today, looking for some meaty and delicious commentary on The War on Terra Iraq Everyone, and found this weblog. Thought I’d share, as I’d never run across it before.
Well worth reading, whatever your take on the dark days in which we find ourselves.
Feeling a need to feel like a kid again, if only for a few minutes? Do this now!

Things like this make me happy.
I’d never heard of this guy before today, but trust me, [this is good].

I keep linking to Fishrush, because I love it. You know, in a manly way.
It’s a floor wax and a dessert topping, and can be enjoyed equally with either spoon or fork. And it makes me laugh, which in these dark times is a be-yoo-tiful thing.
This guy‘s on a trip around the planet, and his travel diaries (full of the tales like this latest of difficult defecations, hiking hardships, and all manner of mad and unpleasant things one puts oneself through on a daily basis when backpacking around the world) make me feel like hitting the road again.
Also : “lots of nice pictures too, including penis gourds and big stone penises at a fertility temple, the big jars of Laos, the big heads of Easter Island, dog eating and dried llama foetuses.”
Domesticity is wearisome, some days. Particularly on those days you find yourself bickering with your spouse about everything and nothing. Oh, to be sh-tting in a trench latrine with snowflakes swirling around your tender bits on the side of a mountain somewhere…
Hey, while I’m at it, Exploding Dog is really good and stuff, too. But you probably already knew that.
I could learn to like this linking without the commentary schtick… Emptybottle Lite! Now with even more sh-t that you don’t care about!
