Anglophones Should Take More Pleasure In Their Tongue

NICE!! A good thing about English is that it evolves with us. English has no equivalent of La Sourbonne, which treats the French language like Apple software. In English, usage which was incorrect 30 years ago is now ‘accepted’ – and what makes it ‘accepted’ is common usage – not its approval by a bunch of academic snobs!  English is like open source, extendable code. Sorry France, sorry Steve Jobs… there are rewards attached to pulling the cork outta ur ….

LOVE THE E*TRADE BABY!!

Polar Bears Are Disgusting

You know…. I just hate polar bears.

They are total assholes.

Fuck ‘em, hope they all die.

Really, what’s the downside? Is there a downside?

Oh, if all the polar bears die then… there will be more fish & seals?

Ummm seriously, *is* there a problem with wiping them out completely? Ugly vicious bastards….
Of course, this post is in good fun – yes I would feel bad if they really went extinct, but honestly I’ll bet they don’t.

Even the babies are disgusting when they are soaked in blood.
Check out the video below – polar bears generally just eat the baby seal’s energy-rich blubber and leave the meat behind….

Can GreenPeace *do* something about these assholes?

British Superstitions

Wow what an interesting bit of Brit superstition – just learned this today from one of my facebook friends:

if you mention, see, or talk about RABBITS, it’s very, very unlucky for a fisherman!
Boats have been known not to go to sea if they see one on the road on the way to work!

My Dad was a Brit, and I am quite familiar with the quirky behaviours of Brits, based on very frikkin’ weird belief systems.

I remember Dad forcing me to give him some money, even just a coin, when he gave me a knife for a gift.

ME: thanks for the knife, Dad
DAD: OK you’re welcome, now give me a coin
ME: What?
DAD: You have to give me a coin, some money, or the knife will cut you.
ME: Hahahahaha!!! Pffftttt!! You don’t really believe that, do you?!
DAD: JUST GIVE ME A FUCKING PENNY GODDAMMIT!

LOUIS CK FUNNY COMEDIAN

I have made an awesome new comedic discovery!
These Louis CK videos crack me up!!!

This “Why” video is just the funniest thing!

I don’t hate deer this much, but this is a hilarious schtick!




PUT A BUTTON ON THAT SCENE

I will never see my beloved braincandy TV show CSI Miami the same way again since Jim Carey identified one of the signatures of the series: “putting a button on the scene”:




Now, let’s go look at some scene-buttons:




W: A MOVIE ABOUT GEORGE BUSH

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: George Bush is a funny guy.

I am so glad Oliver Stone has made a movie about him.

It is now fairly clear that the US economy has been run irreparably into the ground and the whole Iraq thing was a red herring, but I’m thinking that some things may come out of this movie that people need to think about.

Who is the real enemy? George Bush?

Do people really believe that “W” is the evil mastermind who came up with all this stuff himself?

I guess maybe I have read too many Shakespeare plays (it was mandatory; I quite frankly loathe the historical plays but I read a bunch of them in my youth), but I see George Bush as a character in a Shakespeare play.

Dreary Shakespeare histories such as Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VI, Henry VIII, Richard II, Richard III are not, in my opinion, fascinating reading material, but it wouldn’t hurt anyone to pick up a Cole’s Notes or even read one or two of them if you can get through the language barrier (the English was a bit different then). MacBeth and Hamlet are a bit more entertaining and are in the same vein.

In Shakespeare’s day (this is for the benefit of those who have no familiarity or memory of Shakespeare plays), the audience could only get inside the head of one of these guys (these machiavellian English/Scottish/Danish kings) via the soliloquy, a monologue spoken by the actor to the audience alone.

Nowadays, dramatists would rather jump off a cliff than use this primitive method for the character to disclose his/her true thoughts to the audience…. To be honest, though, I would love to see a scene with Bush doing a soliloquy! Can you imagine?! A George Bush Soliloquy!

I’m just so curious to see how Stone has constructed this film!

Here’s a trailer:

Here’s another:

Here is the scene where he met Laura:

This is some discussion about Bush and the movie in the clip below – well worth watching for the kooky clips like George Bush arm-in-arm kind of slow dancing with an Arab guy with swords in their hands:

MAX KEISER, FINANCIAL ANALYST – BRILLIANT INSIGHTS

I’m always ranting about how wonderful Ron Paul is, and what a tragedy that he was entirely shut out by mainstream media. I have found another brilliant person who can explain the state of the union as it were: Max Keiser.

This guy is brilliant and funny and I hope he will get more airtime – Al Jazeera English interviews him all the time. Check this out – there’s loads more on youtube.com – oh and you have to skip forward to 1:30 to see Max Keiser (even if you’re on LOW bandwidth, it’s WORTH IT to see this vid!):

MY GUILTY SECRET: I'VE *ALWAYS* THOUGHT PARIS SHOULD BE PRESIDENT

I really get annoyed by Paris-bashers! What is their point? Jealousy? Bitterness?
I think she’s cool… or ‘hot’… whatever. I just like her.
And I like her more since she put out this rebuttal to McCain’s jab at her. I don’t really approve of her calling him old & wrinkly, but you can’t blame her for pulling off the gloves when attacked so publicly.
OK so her energy policy won’t work… who’s to say Obama’s or McCain’s will either?!
