Ever wonder what the big deal is with steroids and growth hormone? Check out this video on juiced watermelons:
Then again, maybe its these Chinese Superfruits that are helping create the world's next superpower?
Short post? Yes - but I'm busy!
Should Greece Leave EuroZone? Probably
They shouldn't have been invited in the first place. Have you been to Greece? Sure it's beautiful but it aint exactly a model of efficiency.
I Hate These Yuppy Names For Kids
Well I don't have time to report on world news all the time so I've gone back to basics today: What pisses me offI hate all these new yuppy and urban names that are popping up - either its naming your kid a verb or something, or it's naming your kid a normal name, but spelled by someone with dyslexia!For instance: Archer is not a name, it's a medieval occupation! Why not name your son Swordsman? or Machine-gunner?Or how about naming your kid after the city Brooklyn - which is already a misspelling of a Dutch word - but spelling it any which way you please! Aren't one of the things parents are supposed to teach their kid is spelling?As bad as I remember as a kid was if you were a "stacy with a 'y' or 'i' or an 'ey'. Now it's like "hey my name is George, spelled with a q"The best part is that naming kids is cyclical, so in ten years there will be another crazy fad or names will go back to normal. Then this generation of kids named after ingredients found on a box of cereal or have names that don't pass spell-check, will be all the more funny.Wait till they are old enough to realize that their parents were retarded..
Gary Busey Will Vote For Trump - I Will Not
Trump is a bloated, combed-over, self-important blowhard that thinks he can do a better job than Obama. While Obama is not the savior many thought, you really think Trump can do anything except paint the White House gold? Just listen to him, he's an idiot that has to focus on birther and book issues instead of real problems.And if you don't want my opinions on Trump, then listen to this lunatic:So you ready to join ranks with a man so nuts that he does not understand that we are laughing AT him?I wonder what will win out for the GOP: Trump's wealth or his sleazy lifestyletwo criteria
Washington: Playing Political Chicken With Shutdown
If anything I have ranted on proves that the government is NOT on your side, it is this bullshit surrounding the inevitable shutdown. Both Dems and the GOP are dangling us over a cliff just so one party can have the moral high ground. Neither care about us, they just want the people to think that they are trying. So I say goodlet Washington close. And let us see how long we can get by without those assholes. Let's call their bluff and try to struggle along since the two political parties have no interest in saving this country - only their careers.And please, please, SHUT THE FUCK UP
Bear's Last Dance: RIP Owsley Stanley
Another giant has fallen, The Bear is gone. Mr. Stanley and I had a brief but very interesting correspondence through email a few years back. He let me in on his beliefs on human nutrition (he only ate animal products - take that hippies!), and especially his views on global warming - which he believed is just the short term melting of the ice caps on the way to the next ice age. Sorry Bear if I didn't get it right yet againhttp://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/owsley-stanley-the-king-of-lsd-20110314Lastly, he preferred to be called Bear, his given name of Owsley Stanley he felt did
Charlie Sheen is WINNING! No, I'm Serious
Charlie Sheen is Obi-Wan Kenobi, as in "strike me down and I shall become stronger than you can possibly imagine" Why you ask? Because this ain't no train wreck, it is the birth of a new entity: Viral Charlie Sheen. CBS would be fools to get rid of him now, he's bigger than ever.With stuff like this, man he's a fucking goldmine!WINNING? You damn right Charlie.
No Sympathy For Dead Missionaries
Plain and simple: You got the money to sail around the world for years in a million dollar yacht passing out bibles - then I shed no tears when fate bites you in the ass. I hate the concept of missionary work - too much of the "white man's burden" stigma attached. Besides, what kind of ego must you have to think that it was because of YOU alone that people are finding God? Fuck them.They were well aware of what happens in that part of the world - and yet were heading for Djibouti anyway. So why should we help them? The right wing radio nitwits are saying we should have come down and killed
Middle East Revolt Express: Next Stop Morocco
Ahhh Morocco, it has been too longEvery time I look at that Berber rug on my floor I remember what I went through to get it. I will also never forget the filth and poverty that was in juxtaposition to the new fancy resorts that were being built on the highway to Tetouan. I remember a border in which the Spanish side of Cueta was clean and the Moroccan side was strewn with trash. I recall what looked a mountain of dirty diapers piled up on the side of the road and continuing, like a jetty out to the beach below. Maybe it is time for Moroccans to start taking control of their own destiny and
Obama's Budget: Will It Be Enough?
Probably not - but he's cutting more that I would have thought and that can be a good thing. Republicans want more cuts of course, but notice how the things they want to cut actually hurt the people who usually vote for their party. What about cutting some foreign aid to Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia for starters? And they are always loathe to cut anything in the defence budget - if they do it usually hurts the troops on the ground like no body armor. Meanwhile there are usually billions of dollars in a defence black hole for projects that may never see the light of day.Regardless, more
