OK this is a great Rumination:
              They say you can't pick your family...
              but with a little practice, you *can*
              pick them off one by one from the top
                 of a hill at the family reunion.

Hi Chris!

[R*A*N*T] I'm still torqued about the inbred shaven Sasquatches at the laundromat...I was watching the events, even though some of them are a bit silly ( I spent two hours watching water polo when I couldn't sleep ), and Cletus the toothless drunken wonder (as in, I wonder who my daddy was?...) and the incredibly shrill flesh blimp who shat his spawn upon the unsuspecting world felt it was necessary to inflict sweaty leotard-wearing masses of oversized testosterone factories upon my sensitive worldview...gee, why not give me a rusty barbed wire enema to go with that? And let's not forget having a blind epileptic dwarf shave my nuts with a piece of shattered security mirror as an added bonus...I spent nearly two hours driving around listening to Talking Heads (Speaking in Tongues) to calm down and keep from driving through the large windows and mowing down the wastes of DNA enthralled by the "drama" on the screen...and my therapists said I tended to over-react...whadda they know?

This just in by phone from Sklutch...
The morons at the laundry-mat here in Kentucky have just given the Gold medal to... "Wrestling"! And not that namby-pamby Olympic wrestling either! Nope, in fact, given that the laundry has only the one "gold-medal" television, it is safe to say that the Olympics are going home emptyhanded.

Empty-handed is how Sklutch will have to go home from the laundry if he wants to enjoy a bit of olympic coverage as well! Poor Sklutch, please don't go homicidal on the poor simpering red-neck masses, killing them -- even given the fact that a case could be made for mercy killing -- is just wrong! Instead enjoy the thought of the grim deaths they will face at the cumulative hands of nitrates and nicotine from all the cigarettes and beef jerky. Maybe this will cheer you up

Some neat perl links thanks to a fine PerlMonk:
  • FreeType A Free library for TrueType rendering.
  • Wotsit The Programmer's File Format Collection.
  • PerlGuts Illustrated Gisle Aas' Fabo how it works document on Perl innards.

Everyday I love The Monastery Gates and the whole Perl Monks scene more. It feels like the eldritch days of newsgroups stoked up with power-power-power!

I saw this on VM:
Remember, the next time you get convict jibes from Americans, remind them that their country was founded by religious zealots.

Which reminded me of this fine quote from Stripes:

We're all very different people. We're not Watusi, we're not Spartans, we're Americans! With a capital "A," huh? And you know what that means? Do you? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world!

=)

My latest angry post to the politics list I frequent:
> Michael Ross is in Northern Correctional Inst. in Connecticut
> for having killed 8 women, 6 in Connecticut and 2 in New York
> where he attended Cornell.
> 
> MSNBC in a documentary said Michael was conceived in rape
> and a symbol of entrapment to his mother.
> 
> His father beat him in the woodshed, and when he was
> 5 his father assigned him to strangle sick chicks on
> the family egg farm.
> 
> Serial killers often have a history of animal abuse

Have you guys noticed that you never hear about Butchers or Ranchers or Meat-Packers going nuts and killing anyone? It's always city people with office or fast food jobs.

You know why that is? It isn't because they strangled squirels as kids.

The problem that is breeding rampant anti-meat propaganda isn't our renewed connection with the earth. It is the total disconnection these people have with nature in its raw form.

Farm people, good country people, see people as special from the animals. They kill animals every day, to survive, to get by because it is part of their life style.

It is the City kids, raised on Disney and allegorical stories that use humaniform animals to make points about HUMAN nature that see animals as little people. They identify with the animal's pain as human pain. They were sick by the time the got to the animals, they wanted to hurt something human. They work their way up the scale in their mind.

People who kill animals as a way of life, in that sort of culture don't think that way. For them, there is no scale of animal life Cows and Chickens and Lizards and Turtles and Birds are all just animals. They get the same respect, loving care, attention, and blam, killed at the end of summer when it's time for market.

Serial killers teach themselves to kill on animals because they have been taught that animals are little, feeble-minded humans and they want to hurt people. Normal people killing animals know the difference between animals and humans, they don't see them that way and it doesn't teach them the lesson hinted at in this bit of propaganda. Serial Killers are our generation's "Nazis". When you want to cast something as evil, you say just show a "Serial Killer once did that" and think it's proved.

This is what is called an "a priori" falsehood. You have shown that one thing procedes another but you have failed to prove that connection is meaningful. Your argument is presumptive, you started out with something to prove and worked backward. Try thinking things thru forward before poluting our mental airspace with such falacies.

Wow I really need to set up a pro-meat website...

Hmmm, DVD coolness. Gotta try some of these easter eggs when next I sit in front of the glass teat. =)
Gah a lot of them are stupid, obvious features. What idiot thinks that the trailer submenu is actually an easter egg?

"its, really, like, old and stuff like that and its been there, like, a long time"
Love that local television, thanks for finding a nice cute young idiot to give the human perspective to a -- sadly -- lost historical house.

It is so cool when abrasives rub together. Read the whole thread tree, not just the header articles. The responses are where the meat is.

Here's a crazy thought, why not look like a complete freak all year long? It's so easy these days. Goth is becomming too easy. Except of course trying to wear full drape black/purple velvet during Louisville's brutal 90 degrees, 90% humidity sweltering summers. =) Luckily the sex-pot goth thing is in full swing these days so the babes are trotting about in minis and lace...
