1. HAIR

Dave Mustaine still has long hair. So does everyone else in his band. That is all.

This is a brilliant blog post from one of metalhammer’s writers and is in my opinion 100% correct

Metallica play this August, i cant be bothered going to see them, it’ll be the exact same concert as last time. If megadeth announced that they were playing anywhere, with the exact same set list as last time, i’d be there in a heart beat. You just cannot beat Tornado of Souls live!

Yesterday, after my lovely trip to Edinburgh with my better half, i found out that work is getting slack, and some people have to work three day weeks. Thats pretty shit

On the way home i was stuck behind a queue of traffic, and as i was about to overtake, my turbo unit in the van would not respond, and i had no power. It took me over an hour to get home. That was quite shit

While at home i managed to break a cup while stacking the dishwasher, that was fairly shit

I got up this morning and went to the bathroom. On the landing was a mouse. My house has mice. That is bloody shit

I got into work this morning and things were going ok. Then i went to check my bank balance, and Vodafone, the cunts, have screwed me for the second month running. A major review of their service is pending. That was fucking shit

Then at lunch time, while i was paying for my new mouse trap, i discovered that my laser card was missing. This was the proverbial straw that broke the camels back, killed his family in a freak straw related disaster, which in turn deprived a local community of its transportation across the desert, which destroyed said community, this in turn lead to a major depression in the country where this community was located, and many many more communities were lost due to lack of interest in their camels, or the straws on their backs

…..

My sister found my laser card

On the way back from the job i was just on, my turbo kicked in again

is that a herd of camels i hear making their way to a depressed and nearly suicidal country…

Today for my lunch i enjoyed a Tim Horton’s Cappuccino and a Boston Cream donut. It was feckin lovely! I mean seriously lovely. The issue i always had with donuts was that they always felt too heavy. Not so these parties-in-my-mouth. Light and fluffy is the only way to describe it, and the topping, feckin grand it was!

Tim Hortons was first introduced to me by Fel (see his blog here: http://www.rodina.ca/ ), a mate of mine from my online Star Wars club, The Galactic Empire (ed: well, not my club as such, a club in which i am a member for over seven years now)

His description at the time was along the lines of “OMFG THEY ARE LIKE BAKED ANGELS!” or something similar

And they are…

the coffee was pretty good too!

Oh, they, and he (fel) are from Canada. Eh!

Interesting post

Michael Richards better known as Kramer from tv’s Seinfeld, gave this  speech in court after making racial comments in his comedy act. He makes some very interesting points.
Proud To Be White

Someone finally said it but how many are actually paying attention to this?

There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc. And then there are just Americans.

You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You Call me ‘White boy,’ ‘Cracker,’ ‘Honkey,”Whitey,’ ‘Caveman’ … and that’s OK.

But when I call you, Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink …You call me a racist.

You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?

You have the United Negro College Fund.

You have Martin Luther King Day..

You have Black History Month.

You have Cesar Chavez Day.

You have Yom Hashoah.

You have Ma’uled Al-Nabi.

You have the NAACP.

You have BET.

If we had WET (White Entertainment Television) we’d be racists.

If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists.

If we had White History Month , we’d be racists.

If we had any group for only whites to ‘advance’ OUR lives we’d be racists.

We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce. Wonder who pays for all that? A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.

If we had a college fund for only white students scholarships we’d be racists.

There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US . Yet if there were ‘White colleges’ THAT would be a racist college.

In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.

You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you’re not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.

You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.

I am proud. But you call me a racist.

Why is it that only whites can be racists?

There is nothing improper about this post. Has anyone got any issues with this? Let me know

“Death is missing – presumed … er … gone”

I have to say that i love it. The thinking behind some scenes and objects in  the book are brilliantly weird! the Death of Rats that could murder some cheese, Mrs Cake, a medium who can see 10 seconds into the future and answers questions before they are asked (following this on the page is weird!)

“HEY BAAS, PUH A STEP IN DA YUNG LADS HEAD, FIVER FER CASH”

The Turkish Barber turned away from me, with the cut throat he had been using on me in one hand, and said, “Nine Euro, no problem”

The Traveller agreed.

Then i saw the youngster about to be transformed with his fashionable “step”. At this stage I would advise all parents and would be parents and anyone going to get a step, DONT, have a look at this for evidence against a “step” in ones hair:
