that's right, 2 men were popped for smuggling 6 pieces of candy deemed to be safety hazards to children. it seems the american government decided that their children were too fucking stupid to be trusted with a small chocolate egg containing a plastic toy. of course i'm too mature to make reference to their culture of turning children into obese drug addicts. i'm also too mature to comment on the fact their society will empower almost any nitwit to possess automatic firearms whilst banning kinder surprises.
one of my favorite heinlein quotes is: "don't handicap your children by making their lives easy". when my kids were about 6 years old i'd take them to the local building supply store and let them pick out anything they wanted from the scrap pieces of wood being sold for a pittance. then i'd turn them lose in the workshop with hammers and nails. they also had unfettered access to power tools.
that's the problem today, we refuse to cull the herd. instead, we pamper and protect the little monsters. so it goes.
on a more pleasant note, the brothers karamazov arrived yesterday and i'm tickled pink with what i received.
i love you sons of bitches.

That's a nice-looking volume, but have you considered joining the Kindle revolution?
Border Guards, the U.S.A.'s best and brightest.
Canada isn't lagging too far behind the US in the obesity epidemic - it's becoming a problem all over.
gb - i have an ereader but couldn't get a free copy of the brothers and our local library didn't have a copy so i was forced into buying a copy.
tex - best, brightest and don't forget meanest.
secret - au contraire, we are lagging far behind. your country is number 1 with a 30.6% obesity rate while we're number 11 with a 14.3% obesity rate.
If the right to bear arms were not written into the Constitution, which is harder to undo, the right to keep guns would have been long gone by now. They never stop trying to get rid of that amendment! Its like a hobby.
Yeah, the candy egg ban is dumb. But here, get get toys that say "Choking hazard. Children aged 3 and up." or some sort of warning. Its all about law suits... another hobby of ours.
Oh... love the book! Sweet.
I heard Canadians put bombs in eggs. Or was that Muslims in eggs.
silly - excellent point on the lawsuits. maybe the parents should be sued for neglect or for raising fools.
the brothers k can be a tough read so i figured i might as get a copy that feels good in my hands.
bob - i don't think we're smart enough to make the eggs. we're trying to figure out the caramilk puzzle.
You sure do like our tv shows, though.
I think it's rather selfless of us to be fat and stupid so the rest of you can feel superior without really doing anything exceptional.
Not very easy to get automatic weapons here... needs a special federal permit and you have to buy a grandfathered gun... big bucks. Only folks with more dollars than sense buy automatic weapons.
The more stupid one is, the closer one is to reality. The more stupid one is, the clearer one is. Stupidity is brief and artless, while intelligence squirms and hides itself. Intelligence is unprincipled, while stupidity is honest and straightforward.
"don't handicap your children by making their lives easy"
Hence, homeschooling.
leslie - yes, i love deadwood and now john from cincinnati. however, you do have lots and lots of tv shows i detest. that being said, i detest most of the stuff our cbc puts out.
x-files and battlestar were filmed in vancouver but used mostly american talent. would that make them canadian or american?
thims - i would say going to public school and dealing with bullies and competing with chinese
kids wiz kids would be tougher than dealing with mom. i happen to think bullies serve a purpose. teach kids to deal with assholes at an early age.
Sure. Might as well teach them a few early lessons about booze and driving since they'll run into that sooner or later too. Fuck I think I'll ship my kids to Somalia to learn how to chew khat and fieldthe strip an AK47, so that they aren't too sheltered.
Whateverthefuck.
Not very easy to get automatic weapons here...
A: They piss away a lot of ammo so why want one in the first place?
B: If you really want to piss away a lot of ammo modify your semiautomatic.
But I can't think of a reason for wanting to get rid of 14 stray bullets in three seconds.
Ever shoot one? I have, better fucking hold on.
while stupidity is honest and straightforward.
Did Leslie just describe herself?
tex - best, brightest and don't forget meanest.
Keep that in mind when we decide to move over the border.
Probably, because "honest" sure doesn't describe you.
Also? That entire quote is from the featured book, not my inner dialogue.
Canadians need to consider the consequences of having an Empire of Debt on their southern border, one that is turning into a third-world hellhole soon "by Executive Order"...Especially one run by a Marxist Muzzie who makes their most liberal politician look like Ronald Reagan...
Not. Fucking. Good.
This is what happens when there's nothing left to steal!

Do they still have all their fingers?
I am not allowed to use power tools - a condition of my parole you see.
Leslie said,
".....Stupidity is brief and artless, while intelligence squirms and hides itself....."
Do you know what else is brief?
Lust. Or at least the delight thereof.
"Foeda est in coitu et brevis voluptas"
thims - i keep forgetting how special your kids are and how insecure you are about home schooling.
leslie - yes, old mr d was usually a cranky nihilist after a trip to the casino.
galt - i think canadians have to realize that everything we have is a result of profitable corporations. same goes for americans but you have a leader that likes to paint corporations as the evil enemy.
aquarians - of course they have all their fingers. do you think they descend from a long line of idjits?
thimscool said,
"......I'll ship my kids to Somalia to learn how to chew khat...."
Khat is all very well, but I reckon betel nut is a better investment in the future.
billy pilgrim said,
".....do you think they descend from a long line of idjits?....."
No.
Short, actually.
If you do not like BBC, why not do this to him?
Almost everyone's kids are special to them. What makes you think I'm insecure about homeschooling?
Ooooooh! My likey Font Bomb!
You can also roll it up like a Katamari ball!
Combining the two is better than sex, apparently
thimscool said,
"......Almost everyone's kids are special to them....."
My mom's child wasn't special to her - except maybe in that Short School Bus sort of way.
The only draw-back to home-schooling is the potential for inadequate learning in subjects in which the parent(s) are useless or not themselves interested. I've found that in home-school situations - done correctly - both the children and the parents benefit.
I am for it!
aquarians - am i missing anything exciting by clicking on those links?
i home schooled ruby and she'll never forgive me for limiting her horizons.
my ego isn't so large that i think i could do a better job than trained professionals. as they say, know thyself.
I happen to work with a few dozen trained professionals in both public and private schools, and the majority are very supportive of homeschooling because the primary quality factor in early education is student to teacher ratio (assuming that neglect and abuse are not factors).
I reckon discovering the Higgs Boson was well within Ruby's reach had you done right by her. You dashed her chances of fame, fortune and sexual access to all the dogs at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.
Shame!
The links are by nerds, for nerds, who like flashing lights and melting/exploding screens.
I would pass on them.
I am quite surprised Leslie was distracted by them - even more so seeing her 'likey' them. I shall have to re-evaluate my impression of her maturity.
aquarians - i'll keep that in mind when i acquire ruby version 2.0.
thanks to thims i immediately stick my fingers in my ears and start humming whenever someone mentions homeschooling.
Excellent! You're welcome!
The book looks like it will make a nice edition to your expanding library. I keep hearing this more and more and it seems so true: Common sense does not seem so common these days.
It looks like a real clusterfuck in here.
Other than the fact that no one really wants to fuck.
Sigh....
Yawny yawny cunt cunt!
You are one boring little fecker, BBC.
And no mistake.
billy?
I trust Ruby 2.0 will have the full compliment of legs? And, in your home schooling do not broach the subject of Particle Physics until he/she is at least 8 months old - otherwise, PETA and the SPCA will fire-bomb your house.
Leave Obie alone!
He is flying the friendly skies tomorrow while you'll still be here making fun of him!
The friendly skies of United?
Are you mad?
I heard all your excuses,
And I've chased your wild gooses
And this attitude of yours, I say, must go
United...
(United...)
You broke my three-quarter dog
United...
(United...)
Some big help you are
JetBlue. Gluten-free snacks and what other airline would let me onboard with 2 dogs?!
Farang Kee Nok Air
But you have to tell the attendants you are going to eat them 'in-flight'.
Eat the attendants? Only if they come with sticky rice and mango.
Nyuck, nyuck!
Deliberate object misidentification humour. And a tad risqué at that!
Nobody does it better than you dear.
Khao 'Meow' Ma Muang indeed!
"Khao 'Meow' Ma Muang" is funny 'cause when the phrase 'Sticky Rice Mango' is transliterated into Thai it is rendered "Khao Neow Ma Muang". Now 'Neow' and 'Meow' are near homophones and 'Meow' is the sound a cat(or pussy) makes and Flight Attendants for Nok Air are normally female and 'eating' females normally involves, well, you know.
Do you get it yet BBC?
You have to replace "females" with "fucking bitches" if you want BBC to get it.
Thanks!
I am indebted.
Lexical Leslie and BBC the Languid Lumpen
yes, ruby version 2.0 must have a full set of legs. the big question is whether to get another dog from the shelter or go for a pup.
BBC gets real women like Helen just fine, fuck the blathering idiots in here.
Woof, woof...
I don’t think that Canadians are really better off and a story I read about it confirms that, of course all news stories are slanted. It does appear that Canadians are better at fooling themselves into thinking things are good for them.
I’ve always used one rule of thumb, “If I quit or lose my job can I still get by for a while?” I always did get by, because I’ve never taken on a lot in payments.
Shelter dog!!
(Please)
Right. You let Uncle Sam take them on.
Speaking of blathering....
Idiot...
Lying sack of shit bitter old demented hypocrite peabrain windbag...
leslie - i'll go to the shelter follow my heart. of course my brain might be in a contrary mood and lead me somewhere else.
Pfft....
Guess I'll go fishing soon.
Deleted the above comment cuz of a typo.
Would only get a dog if I moved to a more remote area, and not sure if I would get it from a shelter or not, depends on where I could find the one I wanted. A blue or red healer.
Doesn't matter where I get it from, a shelter or a person that is going to shoot it because he/she has too many dogs.
Of course most women won't shoot dogs, they send them to shelters in hopes that they'll find new homes.
Or not, what the fuck, they gave them a chance, hey?
Ever think about that? It's women that send most animals to shelters.
We'll need to slaughter more horses to feed all these dogs but I'm okay with that, I've never had much use for horses anyway.
Dogs are carnivorous, gotta kill something to feed them.
Sez Billy as he eats his hamburger.
a heinlein quote sums it up:
When the need arises -- and it does -- you must be able to shoot your own dog. Don't farm it out -- that doesn't make it nicer, it makes it worse.
BBC~ what's your source for those stats?
BBC gets his data from "The Cat In The Hat"
Biased, probably.
I think that our fair Leslie, that faux bohemian, that vamping courtesan and kitten-cute gamine, is by now; home.
By now lexical Leslie's 'leven legs o' love (1) are traipsing the Lower Ninth chasing the mystery of the Green Fairy of absinthe.
Why is your existence so corporeal and your magic so ethereal?
The Green Bus
Is calling us.
Yearning for that perfect moment of oblivion, and the peace that comes from it, they endure.
(1) Four legged dog. Three legged Obie. And Leslie is 'crab-walking'.
After hours wasted on research, I found BBC's source. It's his WOMEN WON'T FUCK ME THEREFORE DEM BITCHES IS EVIL school of thought.
ALTF~ Absinthe in the L9W? If you say so.
".....Absinthe in the L9W? If you say so....."
I said nothing of the sort.
I said you were "traipsing the Lower Ninth chasing the mystery of the Green Fairy of absinthe".
The Mystery is ethereal.
The Green Fairy is ephemeral.
And the Yankee cunts outlaw 'real', corporeal, absinthe!
And time spent on research is NEVER wasted.
Granted, the concept of Opportunity Cost, can conceal its ultimate value.
Scientia Potens Est
If "la fée verte" can be found anywhere, it will be found amongst the disenfranchised wormwood wranglers in the L9W.
I mean, Fats lives there!
BBC gets his facts from 69 years of living in reality, mostly while living in country settings where the facts aren't hid from you.
But those of you living in the cities can pretend that your meat (and dog food) comes from some make believe place.
I don't know, some kind of a Walt Disney place.
After hours wasted on research, I found BBC's source. It's his WOMEN WON'T FUCK ME THEREFORE DEM BITCHES IS EVIL school of thought.
She'll happily skip over the fact that I won't fuck most of them because they are a pain in the ass. I'm simply not on this planet to help empire builders just so I can get fucked.
And since moving here all I've ran into is empire builders. Except for Helen and Ms. Fun.
You have nothing to offer an empire builder. You are repulsive.
I lived on a farm before moving to Thailand, so stop assuming you know everything about anyone who disagrees with you.
I asked where you got your info that mostly women abandon pets at shelters. Clearly you made it up.
You don't live in reality. You have an isolated existence filled with hate and mundane tasks.
New Orleans is not part of Yankee Cunt Law. See: Napoleonic Code.
REAL Absinthe is available everywhere, including the drinks drive-thru, so long as you don't mind sipping it from a syrofoam guzzler cup with WHO DAT printed on the side.
Wormwood absinthe is also available in New York City. They legalized it several years ago.
Bumpkin.
so wormwood absinthe is easier to obtain than a kinder surprise chocolate egg in your not empire. i'd rather be one toke over the line.
You have nothing to offer an empire builder. You are repulsive.
Her words are true in this respect, there is nothing I want to do for an empire builder, and they do find me to be repulsive.
And I'm good with that.
I'm not here to build an empire, I'm here to fuck, get in the way or get out of the way.
Are you a 16 year old boy masquerading as a gross old man? Do you have any idea how stupid you sound? And btw I don't recall you answering my question. As usual. 100% bullshit.
The government makes more money on booze. And they need more money so they can pay BBC's bills.
If you wasn't an idiot you would know that I'm 69 so you would not ask me such a stupid question.
I've never been anything other honest about myself.
You fucking idiot, the government doesn't pay my bills, I pay them.
It's true that I've used a government dental program to get rid of some of my teeth but I want to remind you that I served in the Navy for four years to keep your sorry ass free, and paid taxes for many years to support these programs.
Oh dear god.
You're so dense it's painful.
And you are a fucking idiot.
I wonder if she has ever had consensual sex. You know, without being raped.
I like to ponder on shit like that.
Regurgitated crap. Exactly the kind you rail about. I've already paid more taxes than you paid in your entire lifetime, and your stupid choices have nothing to do with my sorry ass being free.
Where did you serve, if I might ask? Lake Michigan?
Guide us with your brilliance, oh Sage, oh wisened Spirit.
You are stardust...you are golden...
This comes as no surprise.
I've already paid more taxes than you paid in your entire lifetime,
Then you must be pretty well off, but don't expect me to be impressed.
and your stupid choices have nothing to do with my sorry ass being free.
Yeah, right, but it had nothing to do with my stupid choices at 18, it was just a family tradition so don't thank me for helping to keep you free, ya fucking foreigner.
Where did you serve, if I might ask? Lake Michigan?
For as many years as you've followed my blog why would you ask such a question?
I've stated many times where my duty stations were.
And she thinks she knows me. Fuck, she doesn't even remember my past.
I don't recall any mention of Navy service, that's why I asked. I do recall you saying you've never been out of the country, WHICH IS WHY I ASKED.
Have you noticed you never directly respond when called on one of your bogus claims? It's either "I've stated this many times", or "You're a fucking idiot".
Ok, you were 18 in 1961. You certainly weren't stationed in the South China Sea or coastal Vietnam, because I'm sure that if you were ever close to any foreign combat mission, you'd be banging that Yankee Doodle tin drum relentessly, because you're an egoist and a blowhard.
Btw, we lost The Vietnam War, so whatever your job was, it actually made my sorry ass LESS free and more hated.
I reckon the BBC - Leslie make-up sex is simply outstanding
Leslie sang to BBC,
"......Guide us with your brilliance, oh Sage, oh wisened Spirit.
You are stardust...you are golden... ...."
Poor Leslie forgot to continue the song. Perhaps the "la fée verte" she scored at the Drive-Thru provided her with the oblivion she seeks? Here are the next lines, murmured with joyous abandon:
"And we've got to get ourselves back to your trailer.
Then can I sleep beside you?
I have come here to lose the smog,
And I feel to be fucking bitch in something turning."
Leslie also sang,
"....This comes as no surprise....."
A Mansun reference?
It also comes as no surprise that Roberta Joan Anderson is an aged cunt - too old to be even considered a Baby Boomer - and was also 18 in 1961. Just like BBC!
billy pilgrim said,
".....i'd rather be one toke over the line......"
And that cigarette you're smoking?
'Bout scared me half to death.
"Jimmy Greenspoon, once I...
Three Dog Night?!!
Yeah...
Oh! I love them! They're my favorite band!.. ow gawd.. oh, do you like my new car? I'm ah.. my Dad just gave it to me for graduation..."
You sure can tell that's a 'copy-paste' job.
'favorite'?
I mean, really.
But at least she was a free man in Paris while BBC was sewing Navy pants offshore, clocking gub'ment benefits, shackled to The Man.
I was once 'shackled to The Man'.
Meh!
Pushy, pushy, grunt, snore. Hardly worth the effort.
In 1961, I was -18!
Jaysus!
The fortuitous kismet is frightening!
I was a free girl in Paris.
I felt unfettered and alive.
There was nobody calling me up for favours
And no one's future to decide.
You know I'd go back there tomorrow
But for the work I've taken on.
Stoking the star-maker machinery
Behind the popular song.
Wait a minute?
Stop the stoking!
I an still a free girl in Paris!
Who among us is still stoking?
Once I smuggled the entire works of Shakespeare up my rectum. Too bad I didn't realize that they weren't considered obscene articles and publications in Canada.
And Geethali N. J. Shankar was also -18 in 1961!
It breaks my little heart when I think of her parentage though.
Not only did Ravi single-handedly wreck Pop Music in the Sixties, he broke up the Beatles. Most people think it was Yoko - Oh no, it was Ravi!
Yoko Ono
Yoko - Oh no,
Get it?
aquarians - oh yeah, in sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own.
static - wow, that would have been impressive if it were in book form rather than on micro chip.
Were you a-running down that road trying to loosen your load?
You know he has a statue in Winslow, Arizona?
I've never been there - they tell me it's nice.
Jackson Browne has a statue in Winslow? I've been there. Didn't see it.
Open your eyes the next time.
It's on a corner - Route 66 is one of the streets, I think!
Google:
"Winslow Arizona Statue"
or
"Standin' On The Corner Park"
Okay.
Maybe it's not Jackson Browne being immortalised in bronze
"life-sized bronze statue created by sculptor Ron Adamson depicting a 1970's man standing on the corner wearing jeans, boots, shirt and vest with a guitar standing on the toe of his boot"
It's Jackson as far as I'm concerned.
So sad. So very sad.
Someone needs open eyes, but is it me? Obviously the Queen of Wikipedia has never gotten her kicks on Route 66.
No.
But The Turquoise Room at La Posada serves a lovely breakfast, if you're ever passing through.
Also, just fyi..?
THIS is not The Eagles.
Babbling idiots.
Pfft....
I've thought long and hard about it, and I apologize for making fun of your service to mankind, BBC.
Because of it, I'm sure a lot of asses are free.
i might have to enact a rule about village people videos.
rules r us.
