Funnier than a drunken Hobbit!
The first cold day of the season and I love it. I actually got to wear my hoody for warmth and not fashion!
If only it would stay this lovely all day long. But I know it shant. I want to send a big "JOOP" for those of
you who think it's most yummy to smell like rotting vanilla.
Here are some crazy facts that may make you laugh, cry or just plain nauseous.
- The mad, nineteenth-century
French poet Gerard de Nerval, could occasionally be seen
taking a
lobster for a walk on the end of a length of ribbon. After being institutionalized eight times he was
discovered dead, hanging from a Paris lamp post in 1855. - In 1968 Communist party
leader Chairman Mao Tse-Tung banned "The Sound of Music" in China
because it was a blatant example of capitalist pornography. - In 1993 a police raid on
the A-1 Massage Studio in Oregon, uncovered a
masturbation service that
was offered by two sisters, aged 70 and 73. - Pope John Paul II (1467-1471) allegedly died of a heart attack while being sodomized by a page boy.
- Henry VIII employed a Groom of the Stool, who was required to wipe the royal anus.
- *More recently, a 67 year old Romanian man
claims he accidentally cut off his penis thinking it was
a
noisy chicken keeping him awake. Upon discovering what he had done, he fed it to the dog. (* story

Graveyard Shift:
The reason we say it
Every industry that operates around the clock has a graveyard
shift. Some persons who punch a clock
at odd hours think their time of work has some sort of connection
with burial places/ But the true origin
is not quite so obvious.
Any thick liquid was called
gravy for a long, long time. Only special kinds of gravy went on
the table.
"Humour running from the eyes" caused some people to be
called "gravy-eyed." In addition to disease,
late vigils in bed led to bleary eyes. Sailors who had the watch
that started at midnight were often seen
gravy-eyed before they went off duty. That led them to speak of
the middle watch as the "gravy-eyed
shift." Landlubbers who heard the expression didn't fully
understand it. Aided by superstitions about the
cemeteries, the sea-born label bacame the graveyard shift in
industry.
*And I can totally understand if
people on the east coast mistook "gravy-eyed" for
"graveyard." So put
on your best New England accent and say it aloud,
"Grave-yod."
Stranded in Vocabulary Land?
- casselanaire, n., v. - pipe dream, fanciful creation
- darkling, n. - one who is depressed or chronically melancholy
- flamanous, adj. - provocative, inflammatory
- hyponious, adj. - given to flights of imagination
- nacilious, adj. - of or pertaining to an adult who uses baby talk
I hope you can find use for those. Don't just throw them away. Keep them and make spit balls out of them.
This Day in History
1492 Christopher Columbus and his crew land in
the Bahamas. (Not America at all, is it?)
1609 The song "Three Blind Mice" is
published in London, believed to be the earliest printed secular song.
1872 Apache leader Cochise
signs a peace treaty with General Howard in Arizona Territory.
1933 Alcatraz Island is made a federal maximum security prison.
You think we're
free? Read and learn, my friend. Read and learn.
I
have a disclaimer for this: These are not
MY opinions. These are random facts found in random places.
Wherever you stand politically is your business. Everyone will
more than likely have an opinion on this
issue, so share it. Remember, this is a look at what rights other
citizens of other countries have.
? Iraq under Hussein
is freer than America: Universal gun ownership, no crime and low
taxes made Iraq more
American than America. (I think this one has a lot to be reasoned
with.)
? Many examples of Japan's
national freedoms can be found here.
I will continue this quest
throughout the day so that I may post this entry in a timely
fashion. It has taken me a
little more than an hour to collect just the two examples.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

I am going to
reply through email because obviously my last post, posted
through "post your comment", did
not post, so I show no post, and I did post...really I did.
The whole thing about the A-1 Massage Studio is just
geriatrically disgusting.....eeew makes you cringe in horror to
imagine some old woman doing that to someone,
like, lets say, Steve Buscemi. UG!
All of you
nacilious people out there, you know who you are (subliminal
christonaspike...OOH BOOYAH) need to
stop talking like that...."does mama's itsy bitsy teeny
weeny widdle puppy need to go ni-ni? her is cute, yes'm i
s" God what the hell is that? There is a reason for
evolution, people, let's prove it and use it instead of
reversion.
Okay...I do not
agree with the freedom issues....I won't elaborate as that will
turn viewers of this post, which grows
ever longer, but I will say this. Any country with a
dictator is not free not matter what they can do...but then again
what is the US? As for Japan, the Japanese are brought up
with more respect for their surroundings, and beautiful
behavior produces more "freedom". Whatever...I'm
out.

And really if you look at it, noone is free as long as they are

structure in which few large firms
dominate a market
