Not all - the trader, fire extinguisher guy and phone basher weren't over weight. They were all white and in their late thirties to late forties. Mid life crisis?
They're just mad because they realize they've been wearing ties with short-sleeved dress shirts. That look is NEVER acceptable. Heck, short-sleeved dress shirts by themselves are really pushing it as is.
Same to you randall. Hope your holiday is chock full of family and fun. Although, in my world, the two words "family" and "fun" don't go together, it doesn't mean that I don't wish that for the rest of you!
Aw well, I try to be positive. They are my family, and I love them.

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
Hey Randal, didn't check if it was an alias, but can you hook me up with the Jane's Addiction version of sympathy...........never heard of it and you got me jonesn' (that's the best version of Jonesn' I could come up with, there must be a better way o' saying that?). If you have a moment I'd also like to know how you boys bring in those links of yours...............I got sum funny shite in my Yahoo account that I can't seem to bring hear, Help!....Oh if anyone cares, the creator of Glumbert is a brilliant man called Daniel Rhodes who apparently sold this site to a 'company' a few months ago....so I think all glitches were due to transfering of data and loss of heart and soul.
Riza I down load a lot of music from a site called limewire its free or you can do limewire pro which I prefer! I have a I-mac so I don't get bugs or virus's.
Its a good site i've down loaded thus far 983 songs at bargain price...
Lets just say I purchased songs from I-tunes store over 200, and its caost me over 200! At the other site over 900 songs ,price under 50 dollars! :)))
Happy hunting love! PEACE EVERY ONE I"M OUTIE!!
GOING TO VISIT THE WHOLE CLAN! SO ONCE AGAIN HAPPY HOLIDAY...YEA EVEN YOU CHUMMIM!

And, in a strange way, I love you guys too - my little Glumbert family:
Randal

Billboat
Mako

Canuk (even though I haven't conversed with you, I enjoy your posts)
Usaranger (thanks for keepin score on the contest)
... and lots of you others
Herr Chumminn with two Ns: Are you a compatriot of the Original Chummin (tm)? If so, you are hereby forewarned. My private Pinkertons have uncovered the fetid location of your cell of reactionary teens. No amount of Latin dances can save your pimply carcasses. Leave a note to your Mum to contact me in the event of your disappearance, and I will cheerfully disclose the location of your unmarked final resting place. Happy Holiday! -Lord Stutz
From whence cometh this obsession with aliases? I suggest we banish this mass psychosis by requiring all Glumbertians to post their real names and addresses, the address of their favorite sex partner, and an eight by ten glossy headshot by Bruno of Hollywood.
I, of course, have no need to hide my identity: I am Lord Stutz, and the House of Blogshire can be found on page 360 of Burke's Peerage. My headshot can be obtained from my U.S. agent, Mr. Sherman "Morty" Gunty 22 Appian Way New Saigon, CA
And my favorite two-backed beast collaborator is my wife of sixty years, Dame May Whitty.
Mister Norriss: Surely you are familiar with the euphemism for sexual congress, "making the two-backed beast," first seen in the works of Rabelais. But I do affectionately refer to my better half as "The Thing with Two Heads", as the film starring Ray Milland and Rosie Greer is a favorite of mine. (And your Waugh citation was correct. Please forgive my unfounded criticism.)
assface that first clip this is how i picture you....(if you ever had a real job, which you wont) totally befuddled. infuriated and frustrated by even the simplest of tasks then unemployed once again
Bob Dole hates anger. Bob Dole hates frustration. Bob Dole hates emotion. Bob Dole loves middle management. Bob Dole would never make people get that frustrated because Bob Dole has values. Bob Dole loves Bob Dole.
I may look like an arse, but at least I don't have to work because I have a healthy private income thanks very much.
Keep on being poor you sad bastard.
only a memory of my teenage years, riding a bike home, hot sunny day, jumping off of curbs, just kissed my 'girlfriend' for the first time, looking forward to mates sleeping over in a tent, playing frak on a commodore 64 and what other games by US gold ....em...winter olympics, summer olympics, boulderdash, playing electro 1 , great times,
hey still happy but just with the responsibility of being a father and husband, still good but in a different way
Glumbertians: remember we are all here together for some unknown reason, we had the glumbert calling, i don't know why, but was this meant to be, my work day has changed since posting on here, i check gluber in the morning then in the afternoon, then sometimes in between, whats going on !!!! i need help
Mr. Skid: I hadn't a glimmer that Swedes became suicidally depressed on Thanksgiving. Chin up, old man. Glumbert will always welcome you with open arms and heart. Just say: "My name is Skidmarks, and I'm a Glumbertian."
Just back after a short break and been catching up on all the threads...You;re right in that Glumbert can become something of an addiction so I've been trying to wean off a while as work is suffering as a result! I keep putting stuff off while I just read that extra thread...
Boy oh boy have Stream'o'Bullshit and the Chummin group been busy little idiots! Good to see a number of people stepping up and keeping them down though - Canuck hit the nail on the head; Crackpot Realists - superb!
Anyone else getting totally pissed off with this moron chumminn fucking up the threads? Or arse and chuck slapping each other down? (Incidentally I think it's chuck's fault. Arse seems a reasonable guy but that other clown is an ocean going dickhead who can't even spell.)
Where the fuck are the sane people? Not on Glumbert that's for sure.
Skidmarks - why's "girlfriend" in quotes?
Stutz - didn't the old fuhrer Adolph have that idea first?

I can identify 100% with the frustration that leads to office workers "losing it" with IT equipment.
I was a trainee actuary in London a few years ago, and the computer I had to work with was forever hanging up or crashing completely, usually when I was right in the middle of a really important task.
The final straw came when I was working on a top account for a big underwriter, and lost all my data. The red mist came down and I threw the monitor across the office and it smashed off the wall. My boss wasn't too pleased because it hit him on the back on the rebound and he died soon afterwards.
I always knew the day would come when I came across something akin to a nuclear bomb to drop on Streamlined and his Carlysle Group, as well as all other religious and so-called "patriotic" zealots; and now I've found it. I challenge HIM, as well as his nutty group to sit through ALL of what I'm about to post here, then we'll see what's what. It's not often I view something that disturbs me ( I mean DISTURBS....not ANGERS). This truly was bothersome. It basically rips to shreds every single fibre of ALL religious, economic and political beliefs (Stream? Ya might as well well jump off a bridge right now, and take your little playmates with you) across all bandwidths. And the conclusion will probably give any SANE person nightmares. Here you go:
Dear Robt Redford
Thank you for coming down from your lordly perch to teach us how to think. I would like you to know that you have had a profound effect on a few in here (Don't be shy Mako, Canuck). They are now thinking just like you.
and Rosie ODonnell.
My humblest thank you's nd deepest gratitude for your service.
Streamy
PS. I just loved you...in that thing...that you did...at that local playhouse.
streemy your beliefs are doomed to failure i mean this most sincerely. bush will be judged as the worst president in the history of this country, while global warming will continue to increase with disasterous consequences. creationism will never be regarded as science , stem cell research will accomplish great things and the religious right fruitcakes will be seen for what they really are
Ahhhh, Stream. I love it when you're on the ropes, and you have to sink to such banalities (i.e. personal insults as a retort). LOVE IT. Just remember who's initials were on the hammer that wrecked all of your nutty delusions (mine). In closing, chew on this:
1. It isn't a "movie"; it's a "documentary" with names, places, dates and facts (most of which I've been drilling into YOUR head for months and months now; so finally a case of a source providing credence to what I'VE been saying, as opposed to your nonsensical accusations of it being the other way around....)
2. You have NO wriggle room to dispute this material, else you would have made even a FEEBLE attempt to do so. You have not. At all.
3. And lastly.....(you know what's coming....dontcha?)..........
My dear Canuck: Might I humbly request some clarification? Is LOL an approbation or an aspersion? These computer shorthands are a source of mystification; perhaps a glossary, if available, might ease my pain. I keenly await your response.
My understanding of these acronyms is weak as well, however I believe some of the more common may be listed as follows:
LOL = Laugh out loud
ROFLM(F)AO = Rolling on the floor laughing my (fucking) ass off
WTF = What the fuck
A.R.S.E = Authoritative Resident Special Expert (Chummin)
STREAM = Some Total Religious Extremists Are Mental
If others can shed any further light on other acronyms I would also be grateful... Bill, Miter did I see you use FOL somewhere before?
miter i thought you were going hunting get the fuck out there.....coat yourself with deer piss....get up that tree and dont come down until we tell you
Thank you Mister Podman, an excellent resource and introduction to a nomenclature I was heretofore unfamiliar with. I have already discovered an alternate meaning to the word "teabag", but, sadly, I must draw the line at "blumkins." Yours in gratitude, Lord Stutz
Ok, Canuck...I watch some of the video and can surmise a few things:
A. About the video: The person doing it is NOT well thought out or researched. The arguments against Christianity in particular are long since refuted. (See Samuel Sandmel for a throrough analysis of what he calls "parallelomania".) The person doin the vid has been extraordinarily selective. The person doing the vid should look up the phrase "old hat".
B. About those who would see the video and take it seriously: THINK! Honestly, Canuck...just use your brain without the aid of Google. Read the Bible. Spend some time, not just a moment of thought, but real time. Millions upon millions of people believe in Christianity and do so at the conclusion of rationality and ovr the course of thir lives.
This video proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that your reasoing skills are arrested where your ego is.
I don't beieve for a minute that this video scares you. You are making that up. You know the caricature used in this vid is anaccurate andthe conspiracy theories in it are absurd.
But, maybe I speak too soon. You think Michael Moore is a serious documentarian.
Well, I am off to meet with the Carlysle Group. We have to decide whether we are a cabal or a consortium.
please don't go i enjoy reading you eloquent postings
Mako
Good to hear from you my man, always the sharp tool in the box
canuck, i think you have an 80% vote on here or more, to be honest when i first read your postings i thought you were a bit self deluded but i stand corrected, i enjoy your enthusiasm i'm right behind you
Mitercut, can't quite work you out, thought you a bit of a mountain man, then you come up with loads of interesting facts and you sound more like a book worm,
And heres to the 'Crackpot Realists' like a broken pencil, pointless (not my own quote)
Mister Skid: Thank you for your kind words. After an unceremonious retching fit, my valet Rupert was convinced I had gone on to meet my compatriot Colonel Kurtz in the great Hussar Brigade in the Sky. Fortunately my personal physician arrived just in time to administer a smattering of robust leeches, fresh from the Ubangi River. Thus I re-entered the land of the living, and today I sup on the charred flesh of a Wild Turkey, in emulation of a quaint American custom.
skid, you might say I'm a changed person. I have found peace in "doing my own thing" I'm now self employed as a builder, a major change of occupation from my "previous life" as a "technician" who built and tested nuclear weapon components (way back in the 70s) from there I went on to the medical diagnostic computer field, then on tp research with a "large pharmaceutical company", finally tired of the "grind" I started my own biz as a re modeler...peace at last...until the housing market went to shit! I was also a fireman, emt, and karate instructor in my "younger years". So that's my boring life's story in a nutshell! Geez, I'm old!
Sounds like you've had an interesting life so far, well i'm trying like you to find that inner peace and i believe it's down to what you do at work, i also believe it's important to do physical work because then your body is more relaxed in the evening, sounds like you've hit the jackpot,
I'm employed but it 50% my company, but that doesn't mean i do what i want far from it, it's the oppposite, the company's been running 9 years , it's a construction company but i'm the sales guy, but i love getting my hands dirty really, that's why i'm out of here mid next year to start solely on my own as a builder as well, can't wait, just waiting to sell my house (that could take a while at the mom)
You will all feel the power of the great GWB! you will know what it is to be tracked down and hunted like dogs! you will all bow before the prophet Jesus!
no bill i found out the hard way that booze and glumbert don't mix i shall go into self imposed exile never to return for i have strayed way way way off the reservation chucky
You're welcome, re: that link to the documentary. Not only is it an "eye-opener", as you've said, but I think it's truly disturbing. Worrisome, even. That feeling is only amplified in the here-and-now, so to speak, when I see Streamlined and his ilk of Crackpot Realists proving all of it's points, simply by being who and what they are. By the way, that documentary has been the #1 most down-loaded film from the Internet for the past 30 days. It'll be on DVD soon enough, I imagine. This so-called "war on terror" (much like the Vietnam War) was never meant to be "won"; that's utter bullshit. It was (and is) meant to be.......sustained. Period. And if you're on the end of the table where the money-makers sit....it's goddamn perfect. Sad...isn't it?
Skidmarks:
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Bro. I'll work on that 20% I'm missing. LOL!
Mako:
Hope ya had fun! You better have gotten me at least a T-Shirt....or it's KA-POW!! LOL!
Ladies and gentlemen, I think some bad may have befallen Daniel Rhodes (the keeper of this site) No new videos in 4 days and he's not returning contacts. Maybe "The Man" has gotten to him.(or Chummlnn)
And I'm wearing out my refresh button. The only thing that keeps me going is Riza! OOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhh! nnnnngggggggggghhhhhhhhhh! aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!
Did I ever mention I give great head.....oops I meant to say I'm a good listener....oops...I'm meant to say I can receive an earful, errrr, headful, ummmm, I can hum a tune,..............oh I dunno........Thanks for the mind@%^!"* Sven.....I have been deprived of late. I've been on manual overide for about a month now. It's much better with a virtual partner...Thx.
Shes really upset with me again,
I didnt give her what she likes.
I dont know what to tell her,
Dont know what to say.
Everything got funky last night.
She gets a charge out of bein so weird,
Digs gettin downright strange.
But I can keep a handle on anything,
Just this side of deranged.
Shes so cold, as pure as the driven slush.
And thats not jewelry shes talkinabout.
It really dont cost that much.
She was gettin bombed,
And I was gettin blown away,
And she took it in her hand,
And this is what she had to say:
A pearl necklace.
She wanna pearl necklace.
She wanna pearl necklace.
This is where i get confused, that vid has had over 332000 viewings but only 2 comments, did this vid get posted like this one, as in was it at the top of the pile so to speak ready for comment, or was it posted within the archives of vids without being declared so it speak
Skid, as far as I can see, after a video has been here a while, they clear the comments. Maybe to make server space. Sorry, not a real computer whiz. I'm sure someone here is though.
bill.
I am NOT chumminn, chumninn or any of the derivatives. I told you who I was posting as, and these names have not and will not appear again on Glumbert.
Feeling guilty...being adult, and fantasizing about some ethererial personna.....Riza....how shameless you are (and how fun it is). Thanks for including me in you mini-pantheon...I'll need to take a shower now.
Ah! The conspiracy theories are growing arms and legs!
Skidmarks, Billboat, Freetobe and Mako currently lead the way on the outing of Adolf, and I appear to be a prime suspect.
It should be remembered, of course, that Vanker pledged never to darken the corridors of Glumbert again, and one can always trust the word of a megalomaniac dictator - "It is the last territorial claim I have to make in Europe" after annexing the Sudetenland was one of the Fuhrer's more memorable promises just before he unleashed the Blitzkrieg.
I am flattered to have been put in the frame, but I must disappoint you all.
I am NOT Adolf.
I repeat - there is a post on this very thread in which Arseface makes a startling admission that he is the Great Man. Do we believe him? I don't know. I for one would be delighted if Adolf came back. He is something of a Glumbert legend now, but at the end of the day it's just a bit of fun and he may feel he wants to concentrate on Conchita and his armadillos.
By the way Skid - "hairypie" is a Scottish slang term for an attractive young woman, for obvious reasons!
Does this mean I am an attractive young Scotswoman? Not the last time I looked, although the man boobs are growing with each passing day.
We shouldn't read too much into Glumbert names - is Mako actually an underwater predator? How does he use a keyboard? Or chucknorriss a muscle-bound idiot who can't act? Quite likely I suppose. Is rizamoon a large ball that goes up in the sky? She wouldn't thank you for that description. Mitercut a hand tool? Or yourself - are you really a brown stain on a pair of underpants? Is Streamlined a svelt, whippet-like athlete - I doubt it. Arseface seems to believe he actually looks like an arse, and perhaps he does. He certainly talks enough shit!
Canuck is obviously a Canadian. But what does 1963 stand for - his date of birth or his I.Q.? Is Clevelandmudslide truly a pile of ordure? Some might say so, but he pens a damn fine limerick.
I will continue to share some of the stories from my life with you all. Not that any of it makes a bit of difference in the great scheme of things, but we like a laugh, don't we?
i have reconsidered my self imposed exile (as well as my vow of never using alchohol again) i believe it would be too harsh....so i am back....a somewhat sudued, chastised and humbler man. I love glumbrt. and i have learned much. (such as the urban dictionary's definition of cleveland steamroller)....mitercut, ihave been unkind, but i have newfound respect for you knowing that at onetime you sold nuclear weapons components. etc etc blah blah blah i'm back
mako when you say thing like, "popped over to phuket for some tournament fishing", i picture Charles T Howell the 3rd of gilligans island fame. also FYI....FOL means Flavor Of Love a popular? tv show in the USA
Let me clear up something before I get black suv's pulling up at my door...I did not SELL nuke parts..merely built, tested and delivered (to a unassuming "back door") at a local (big) airport. They were microwave attenuation sub assemblies (EMP proof circuitry) that went into the construction of destruction.
I am forming a new opinion of you, you seem to be a quite a bit more interesting in your comments as of late, (loved the deer piss idea) so I apologize for leaning on you.
You remind me of my oldest son, full of thoughts, gaining wisdom (which comes with age and experience). No doubt you have a good future ahead of you.
Mitercut i quite agree, Chuck is 'coming out of his sack' so to speak !
I also have a conspiracy theory , Glumbert make their own postings, wouldn't you if you ran a website, i certainly would, you can gee up an argument and increase the popularity
Good point skid, that would explain the lack of content these last few days.. much time spent on commenting, instead of putting up videos!
One time, someone posted a comment about glumbet using video's that were on another website, a reply came back from a poster named "glumbert" stating that wasn't true...the only thing is, I'm sure the way they make money, is to have people click on banner add's, which I don't tend to see after the first time I view a video, so if money is the motivator, creating argumentative posters won't bring in the revenue!
On that subject, if we were to want to help out glumbert, we should all click on an add from time to time!
For what it's worth, I too agree a truce with chuck. I won't piss him off if he agrees the same.
I have a face like an arse and as a result don't get out much.
truce agreed one and all however, if it wasn't for the dynamic tension glmbrt would soon turn into an echo chamber
this really isn't like me at all. but the lonliness of the holidays has probably driven me to contrition..i just haven't been the same since grampa's meth lab blew up..... don't worry about me, i'll get by somehow
**With Chuck looking the other way, douche does a 20 yard sprint ending with a football style kick to the nuts. Douche's foot is buried 6 inches deep into Chuck's genitalia area**
Didn't expect that one now did ya?
**Looks to Miter** Where's my ten bucks?
Thanks to Miter, and for Douche's supporting role, the truce is over!
**as miter snatches back the Hamilton, lookout douch! Chuck comes back with a viscous roundhouse, followed up with several snap kicks, a couple of back fists, then a palm hand strike**
**douch says (laying on his ass spitting sod) WTF happened? miter (also on his ass looking for his glasses) says, apparently this IS Chuck Norris, as chuck snatches the ten spot out of miters hand**
Just goes to show ya...we don't really know who all these glumbert posters are....I'll stick with the truce
What a coincidence!
My grandpa's meth lab blew up too. Debris everywhere. Nobody got much sleep around our place for a few days, and the neighbours got on just fine for a while....
now,,,about this video shocking behaviour. This is precisely why i requested a concealed weapons permit. which unfortunately was denied, if these people had been just "winged" and immediately disabled.. the workers could have got back to pumping out the production
I know, Canuck...you kid us not.
By showing your thinking abilities.
The Canuck Credo states plainly and in broken English (so I paraphrase):
I shall attain knowledge quickly and efficiently by reading what is on the internet.
First, and with apologies, belated best wishes at Thanksgiving time.
There are those in Glumbertville who inform, and intelligently debate, and give few gratuitous negative inflections. And there are a few innocents whose posts are refreshing to see. To them all, my best wishes.
Loved riza' s rendition of Danny Boy....my first wife was the oxymoronish 'pure Irish' (passed on a while ago much too young, losing to cancer...god, I hate it), and wish I had made the list of favorites on "justme's" list...ah well, I'm not on site that often, and I'm not all that quippy (witty), so not remarkable ,I think. Figurative mental exercise. In other words, boring. Eh...that's me.
For all its faults, this is a fun site....we just cannot keep el stupidos from quirking their way into otherwise entertaining and informative discourse.
I have acquired a Glumbert inclination...really love some of the posters and their sometimes empty yet fun rantings.
As to the interposers, and those who use the site to merely satisfy some curious need to vent vile, well, as I recently learned, FOL.
Re: Mako, Riza, Skid, Canuck, Miter, billyboy, and randal...and FTB....and those who I missed....there appears there's others who are joining Glumbertania...hopefully fewer seeking vents, and more looking for fun first, and actual info after...fun is the bestest part.
Wow, just had a great read. In lieu of finding new glumbert videos, I checked for new glumbert postings. Which was even better. On the downside of my third glass of wine chaz, so feeling pretty mellow. I was, for a short time, trying to figure out who was who in the alias war, but have decided I don't really need to. If there are people posing as more than one poster, and I think there are, it really doesn't take away from the basic enjoyment of coming here.
I really need to get a hobby! Am I nuts for getting lit up when my name is mentioned on glumbert? LOL!
hairypie, if I did infer you might be adolf, it is only because your postings are fun, imaginative and intelligent. Whatever the actual content of adolf's postings were, those three things came through. If I was in error, I offer my apoligies. But the reasons I thought so need no apology. I would be honored to be accused of such ability, so I'm glad you were flattered rather than offended.
miter, absolutely love your honest and personal comments. Anyone here can say anything they want, none of us would know the difference. Your posts ring true.
I'm just a small town girl, always have been. No big city lights for me. But that doesn't mean I'm uneducated. I see a lot of people here with a great flair for words, and I am interested to read what they have to say. That's why I keep coming back, and the response I get from others makes me feel more comfortable to post sometimes. I spent a long time just reading, not adding myself. My life has entered an "alone" mode, temporarily, and glumbert has provided a much needed, and greatly appreciated, interaction with other people. It is a harmless and enjoyable diversion for me, when I find myself awake in the middle of the night.
My best to all of you.
you are a breath of fresh air, and welcome. Sometimes I drink when I post, did I know you were a girl? Anywho (by the way if I type 'Anywho' that should tip you off that I've been tippling.) Sooooooooo.............what kind of boots do you have? (Just Joshing) If you haven't gotten first post yet, I bet you will soon. Have fun!
p.s. gotta love the influx of the amazons lately. But please, I do not want any women goin' all pretty on this site. That means no extra niceness, no frilly curtains and for heaven's sake no white picket fences (unless we plan on impaling a few posters on it).
i wish useddouchebag would enter an alone mode..totally riza, listen...while i've got you here let me ask you a question. are you employed in the adult entertainment industry?
Jesus tap dancin' palomino. What do we have here the fairy fuckin godmother? Must be a damn genie in a bottle, as you got your wish. I am in alone mode.
no trap... in order to better myself i plan to move to california and become an adult film star. i have always admired riza's posts and hoped that she could give me some advice
thanks riza. yeah, I'm a girl. If I told you what kind of boots I once had in my closet (they are no longer there, confiscated when my ex moved out) you would think I was a high paid call girl. I'm not too frilly, but can't seem to shake that nicey nice reputation I have, that all but a few (very) close associates would know isn't entirely true, all the time.
I did get one first post, on the Aries Spears vid. Was having a lucky day I guess!
Never had a picket fence in my life. Things just didn't go that way. But I can't remember ever really pining for one, so I guess it's ok.
Talk to you another day!
probably the later.... christalmighty i'm sick of that whining music playing in the background. the kid sounds like he's had a sex change operation.
arseface ......see the video http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com it's long but fascinating. even though i was born with the attention span of a squirrel i couldn't stop watching
Actually Randy-Man...I'm hoping more folks see that documentary to get their feedback on....you know...BESIDES the usual Streamlined argument, i.e., "It's Internet propaganda! It's bullshit!"
The Thanksgiving turkey is eaten,
The in-laws have gone, we're alone;
We can lie on the sofa together
And you can suck deep on my bone.
Then we'll relax in the small hours,
And soon you'll be dreaming my dear;
When you're sleeping I'll work up a squitter
And drop one right into your ear!
C ommitted to taking a dump
L ikes to pair it with shaking your hump
E ven though we are taught, it's a
V ulgar bad thought, we're
E xcited for more from this chump!
L ogic tells us it should be offensive
A nd make us run fast from the room
N ot eagerly scroll for the next one,
D epositing gifts from his moon!
I guess I'll add a real life version of the light bulb joke....
How many men does it take to change a light bulb?
Two workers of mine, myself and an apartment manager, were changing a light bulb, thirty feet up in a stairway, two guys holding the ladder, me on that ladder, with the manager "supervising"....light bulb breaks in socket...I yell "you've got to turn off the power" manager calls in the grounds man to do that, just then a second floor apt door opens, FIRE FIRE, my stoves on fire, screams the resident, with smoke right behind him. We all go investigate, hit it with an extinguisher, the manager called the FD, they get there in seconds, my ladder is in the way, so it comes out fast and gets damaged in the process, fire's out..no damage...now I still have to fix that light bulb, fortunately one of the firemen is a friend of mine, so they help with one of their ladders...job done...total tally...me, two workers, apt. manager, grounds man, tenant, six firemen, two cops!
And yes, I did say to them while doing this...Hey, how many men does it take to change a light bulb!
Not much of a joke I know, just one of those "you had to be there" situations.
Love it M. How many women with PMS does it take? ONE, ONE, and if you'd take the time to figure out where the lightbulbs are,oh nevermind, that's too much trouble, I'll do it myself. Lazy bastard.
Went to a comedy club with my date...a beautiful blonde. The opening comedian as a ventriloquist who lid waste to all...all ethnicities, minorities, religions, men and women. But, it was the Blonde jokes that paticularly irritated my arm candy.
When she had enough and suffered her indignities, she stood up, hands on hips and began to chew out the comedian, thusly: "I have had it with all the DUMB blonde jokes. Good looks do not necessarily mean I am stupid. I have had to fight, tooth and nail, to get to the top of my profession and it is largely due to the stereotype that you promote..."
The ventriloquist was legitimately moved. He shifted on the stool and said to my date, "I had no idea the depth of your pain..."
"Shut up, Mr. Ventrimogist...I am talking to that jerk on your knee!"
miter, you definately hold the title for the punchline to that age old joke!
chuck, he took the boots cuz he didn't want me to wear them for anybody else.
This has nothing whatsoever to do with lightbulbs, just passing time til the next vid.
My parents were out socializing one night years ago. My father indulged in a few too many, and engaged in a heated discussion with a fellow reveler. When it was brought to my father's attention he was being stubborn, he immediately pointed his finger at my mother, and announced that it was her fault, "she's the one who made me stubborn!". To which my mother cooly replied, "Yeah, well who made you stupid?" . She is the queen of zingers, my mother.
No one died or got shat upon, but still kind of funny!
It took me awhile to even miss them. Once I did, I called to ask if he took them. He freely admitted it! Oh well. Not likely they will ever find their way home again. Strangely enough, I lost another pair of boots the same way, 20 years ago. Forgot about that til just now.
Chin up girl, I know about the "alone" deal. A few years ago I was divorced after 23 years of "marriage. Some here ask about "why" and to that I say there is no answer! There are too many idiosyncrasy's in a marriage to have a simple answer to why this or why that. Now is the time for getting on with life, to do your own thing. I did the "autopsy" thing on my marriage, tried to make sense of it all, to no avail. We separated amicably and are still friends, for us, it was a matter of drifting apart and having very different interests.
I got on with life, did things as usual, hung out with my buddies, (most of them single) and just went with the flow...Then I realized "only dead fish go with the flow" and started living life! There were a few women here and there, but nothing serious, those women seemed to be beaten down in life, took the crap that men dished out and put up with it, like that's the way it is, oh well! That's not the kind of woman that I (or most post neanderthal men) want.
Then one day, literally almost by accident, this car backed out of a space at Lowe's and damn near ran me over! Out jumped a P O'd woman saying why the heck are you running through the parking lot, I didn't see you! She turned out to be my long lost (recently divorced) high school sweetheart! We've been together ever since (three years now)!
So, keep your chin up, don't just deal with it, or think that's the way it is, say NO and mean it, raise that bar a little, do YOUR thing the way YOU want and you will confidently stride through life with those boots on!
Can't help but hearing a song in my head, oh yeah this is it!
miter, thanks for the boost. I hope I don't have to almost get run down to find my long lost love though! Seems like everyone that shows any interest in me is either already taken, (out of the question), or way too young, or I'm not interested in them. I'm just kind of going with that flow for the moment.
I'm glad for you though, and there is something so wonderful about that "high school sweetheart". I never really got over mine, always think about him from time to time.
Have to admit to my own shoes and boots obsession. I think it comes with the ovaries. Men just have to accept this, and bear the pain. Either that, or ignore it entirely, which might be the easiest route. There is no changing it!
I'm not one of those "beaten down" women, never had the misfortune of being with a bad man. But never had the fortune of being with quite the right one either.
You have previously said that the headlights don't point down so be a cougar! Have some fun!
Age is in the mind. I don't care if the person is 10 years older or younger than me as long as there is some interest compatibility. Take the age thing out, especially if its younger men. You might regret it later.
streamy... in a reply regarding the zeitgeist movie you wrote"No shortage of stupidity or gullibility on the internet. Seems many people have their thinking done for them courtesy of the ISH." what does ISH mean?
Who says I'm looking for a relationship with anybody? Just because I think someone's a genius doesn't mean I want to fuck them and then take a shit on them to show my undying love.
I mean, I think Steven Hawking is a genius, but really..........
Well, "genius" was pretty generous of you cleveland, and I appreciated it. I for one never thought it meant anything other than you liked the word-play. It was fun. chuck must be a romantic at heart.
ftb62 i have been called many things. that's not one of them
but listen..... i have reason to believe stutz=hairypie there cannot be 2 people in the universe that think like that (actually i'm surprised there's even one)..not that i don't enjoy it but as tecumseh told his people "the white buffallo of truth shall set us free"
An elephant straps on a parachute and base jumps off a building with two cute cats on its trunk. As it floats to earth, it gives its opinions on Iraq and creation theory while simultaneously moonieing the Japanese spectators. When it lands it's shit itself and its relatives are horrified. Meanwhile, some members of the crowd take part in a game show to find the stupidest person in the world and grow ivy on their skin while playing basketball. The commentator makes a couple of word gaffes, a nuclear bomb goes off, and a small black child recites the complete works of Shakespeare rap-style backwards.
That should keep us going for a while. Keep taking the medication!
Mister Pie: "Hamlet Backwards" is a little known broadsheet by the Marquis de Sade. It can be found in the "used and out of print" section of Barnes and Noble.com.
Oh, and yes, my Hollywood agent has shown great interest in your high concept video scenario. He says it could very well be the Kentucky Fried Movie of the new millennium. Brad Pitt has shown interest in the elephant role, as he thinks branching out to play other species would take his career "to a whole 'nother level, man." (His words, not mine.)
Stutz.
Ah yes! "Telmah", by the insane de Sade is one of my favourite reads, although I think my number one bedside tome of all time is "Eyr eht ni Rehctac", by Regnilas.
Interesting to learn that Pitt is keen on the pachyderm part. I think he could carry it off quite well. His performance as the horse in the ill-fated "Troy" was a little wooden, but, if rumours regarding the enormous proportions of his male member are to be believed, he would have no trouble playing a convincing elephant.
Mister Pie: My agent, Sherman Gunty, just rang from Rome, where he is finessing the final details of Kubrick and Presley's return from hiding, and he believes your script might be the ideal vehicle for their combined talents. Please phone him at the Cinecitta as soon as possible; his assitant's name is Chinequa.
Exciting news! What a formidable combination of talent that would be. I always thought the "King" would excel in a work by the maestro SK.
Just imagine - Presley as the computer Hal in 2001, A Space Odyssey. His rendition of A Bicycle Made for Two would have been a scene stealer. Or as Colonel Dax in Paths of Glory - "We're going over the top, thankyou very much..."
What a Spartacus he would have made! And I firmly believe he showed enough acting ability to carry off the multiple roles played by Sellers in Dr Strangelove, with the addition of Sterling Hayden's Jack D. Ripper to boot.
Whether the King could play a base-jumping elephant is a different matter. He would, of course, fit the bill purely on body shape, but I doubt if he could cope with the complex script.
I will give Chinequa a bell as soon as I can.
Pie. Such a fine cinematic parallel universe. Alas, if only it were so. But I do have in my possession one of the only copies of "Elvis Sings Songs from The Killing" extant, an excellent longplayer which includes such gems as "You Ain't Nothing But A Horsekiller," "Loose-Lipped Chick," and "Bed of Fear." Elvis at his peak; sadly all but two copies were destroyed at the behest of Colonel Parker....
....sorry, that was Sherm. Stan and El got into a fight regarding points on the gross; something about a pot of scalding coffee being involved. Sherm is "beside himself", as they say. Allow me to straighten this out; I'll get back to you.
One other thought - do you think Jack Nicholson's character in The Shining would have been even more menacing with the addition of a few bars of "Heartbreak Hotel"?
Four days of no new video's...this must be the longest string ever.
In an attempt to add humor, in the spirit of a quickly waning deer season (with me being unsuccessful) I have a joke....
Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing, and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls 911. He yells, "My friend is dead! What can I do?"
The operator says, "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead."
There is silence, then a loud shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says,
"Okay now what?"
One of my favorites! We better get some new videos soon 'cause Camuck has gotten off his leash and is running rampant through all the threads obliterating all of us with his deadly "you're a moron" comment. I say we collectively tell his Mom. She'll probably throw him out of her basement, or maybe take away his Jello pudding cups. She may even make him wear his helmet to bed and forbid him playing naked Twister with his sister.
LOL, well lets see, I know about camuck and his hunting habits....his friends told me a story about him........
Camuck and two friends go camping and hunting in the woods. When camuck goes hunting, he has a nasty habit of repeatedly squatting over a log and crapping a huge mess, falling asleep with his pants still around his ankles. He would then return to camp late, worrying his friends. They are grossed out by camucks behavior and tell him "One of these day's, you're going to crap your guts out!" The next day, after getting a deer, the two find camuck fast asleep, next to a huge steaming pile of crap. They decide to play a joke on him and leave, on top of the pile, the entire gut pile from the deer they harvested. Quite a bit later, back at camp, camuck slowly returns, with a concerned look on his face. They ask "Whats up? You Okay?" camuck replies, "You guys were right, I finally crapped my guts out!" They ask "What did you do?" camuck replies, "Well for the grace of God, and a big stick, I managed to get them back in!"
Miter I have been reading about Fred Baer. Amazing.. The guy dropped a world class kodiak with a standard bow. no compounds, no pin sights just one continuous motion. he also dropped a polar bear as well as a large male lion, a tiger and believe it or not an elephant. he also did more to preserve habitat than anyone of his era.... i know some will find this revolting, so what
He was quite the hunter no doubt. He used to have a museum up in northern lower Michigan (Grayling), that had many of his trophies, including some of his trademark "mixed species" mounts. I think that may have been the original origin of the "Jackalope" (bunny with antlers). My grandfather was a good friend of his, and would take us up there to check out the behind the scenes stuff in back. I have a picture of him and my grandpa in a convertible VW bug (top down) in the snow with a doe strapped to the front end. Oh the good ole days!
What if the internet (or as that fucking ludite streamline calls it, the ISH) has become self aware and this is what has been spawned. an insane ghost in the machine...
Here's the deal sport. Stand up and choose your OWN name, don't trade off of someone elses, and we well treat you with the respect that we treat each other with. It's a good bunch here (mostly) and we look out for each other. Step up and we will show you respect. Fair enough?
Well...........I actually watched the two hour site that canuck posted....gawd....and gawd again.
So well presented...so well supported...obviously we, as citizens of our various countries, have been skillfully duped. Let us simplty die, and save the manipulaters the time it takes to absorb our assets.
We are the biblical lambs wandering to the slaughter, lead by a conspiracy of bankers. Apparently, we are mindless. Easily led wherever our financial kings yank us....okedokey.
Actually, I do not subscribe to a theory that involves mass stupidity, thankyouverymuch. And two hours of blather doesn't make it any more digestible. Just stop it....bankers, instigating WWI, WWII, and the WTC horror....for financial gain...gag, gag, and gag again.
Slanted, sure, but what film, video, talk radio, docu, news show, newspaper, magazine, etc, etc, isn't! Which, at the very least, put's it on an even playing field!
I don't know if this will all fit in here, but here goes.....
Personally, I'm not a religious person, like the VAST majority of my scientifically educated friends and acquaintances.
Being someone, who has spent over three decades in astronomy, researching, photographing and observing the known universe, the first part of this video speaks to me in a way that makes sense. I have never before seen all the piece's of the puzzle put together in a way that is logical and believable. Like I said, I'm not religious, therefore I'm not versed in all the many "gods" that existed before Jesus, so I can't say whether or not that part is "true" (a quick google search does confirm they exist in historical writings).
To say that an unseen entity exists, with no positive proof, no physical observation, quite literally no confirmation of any kind EVER in the history of modern man, is counter to everything I've ever learned, observed, or witnessed.
If you think about it as a rational person, this lack of evidence is startling. There is not one bit of empirical evidence indicating that today's "God", nor any other contemporary god, nor any god of the past, exists. If we had scientific proof of God's existence, all religious people would be aligning on the God that had been scientifically proven to exist. Instead there are thousands of gods and religions.
Add to that, the death, destruction, suffering, etc, etc, that has been directly caused by the belief that, my god is better than your god, is (to me) proof positive that none of these exists! Surely an all seeing, all knowing, all loving (benevolent) "god" would not let this happen!
My mind is not closed, I can except the possibility of an omnipotent entity, that may exist on some level, plane, dimension, brane, etc, but doubt highly that all these supposed "gods" or even one, would bother with such an infinitely small galaxy, containing an infinitely small planetary system, which has an infinitely small planet, with infinitely (to the millionth power) small, sentient beings on it, which more likely than not, live on one of the many trillions of planets hospitable to life!
As to the rest of the video in question, true or not, this definitely strengthens my stead fast belief in the 2nd amendment to the Constitution, the one "right" that guarantees all the others!
Which I will repeat here.........
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
If there is another source of power in our government (as portrayed by the video in question) then for this, to be efficient, it must be superior to any force that exists among the people, or which they can command, otherwise this force would be annihilated, on the first acts of oppression. Before a standing army or "other government power" can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every state/kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword, because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops, or "other government power" that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States. We need to think about this simple fact with the next election in November....
To hell with who's, the right, the left, the middle, male, female, Christian, Muslim...
VOTE FREEDOM FIRST!
In the end, it's the only thing that matters, or it will be the end!
Thanks, Miter...you have asked the larger questions.
Should like to hear how a Christian answers those questions, I will be glad to expound.
(Would be my pleasure)
watched it again. i don't think it's a debateable issue. the routine plunder of america's assets occur with almost sinasoidal frequency. it's a matter of record. www1 plus apx 20 yrs=ww2 ww2 /- 20yrs = vietnam vietnam /- 20 yrs = desert storm (the latest disaster is out of frequency but bush isn't into math...god told him to strike...his words not mine) anyhow we're talking trends not exact equations
one more thing. JFK's speech was fantastic. I had only heard it referenced once before. i believe it was given 2 weeks before he was shot
Back this morning and watched the link above that Chuck posted.
Its also 2 hrs. long, did I miss one you posted Canuck? If so please direct me towards it. Or better yet drag it back down here! lol Man I'm lazy...
As far as religion goes...well it seem to be working in the aspect that some people find peace and serenity! Yet it is a pill for the masses. I choose spirituality over religion.
As for something a little closer to home,... It was as I always suspected! The true evil doer's are always telling you to look at the monkey in one hand whilst they cut your throat with the other hand!!!
If you cry conspiracy then be ready to be branded a nut! They set it up that way. So it works out well for all the conspirators to do as they wish!
Now is everything I watched in that 2 hrs. the truth? Most likely not!
But I'm sure if some of my lazy ass countrymen would shut their f*%#ing t.vs off or took their fat heads out of the fridge for a moment, enough to start really asking some hard questions and not taking these bullshit responses as answers! Then maybe,just maybe we could start bringing the real criminals to their rightful and just rewards! (F@#*ing DEATH BY STONING!!)
People, we have been hoodwinked, bamboozled and finagled by these Fu*#@ing Ass rapers for far to long!
This compilation doesn't have to be 100% accurate to be right. These people who speak out against the men who would perpetuate something so diabolical did so at what cost? What did they seek to gain?
When the towers came down, after the shock and disbelief then anger wore off( a bit), we stated to ask ourselves some of those very same questions!
At first we couldn't believe the way the towers came down! How could those buildings have collapsed so much so, it looked exactly like a professional demolition job?
The explosions just before the buildings pancaked was never explained! I mean we heard that across the river. Yet nothing in the way of explaining it?
Well enough of my rant, I'm going to watch one of the 400 or more channels I have on my T.V, But not before I scrounge around in the fridge for something to feed my fat head!!
did you know in poll after poll apx 67% of us citizens believe the US government was involved in 9/11. apx inverse of the % who support bush...27% plus or minus
one of the reasons the revolutionary war was successful was the invention and distribution of the printing press....
i'm with you on the second amendment. i'm always surprised when i travel to countries with strict gun laws. the next time you cross the border into canada and the custom agent asks if you have any firearms say "ya sure what do you need?" and watch the reaction
You mean sleep? Ya, me too. Wow, I go out for dinner, come back, and you guys have written "War and peace" in my absence. No wonder it's hard to keep up. 'Night gentlemen, gotta take on that world tomorrow.
one more thing i think streamy wants to respond, he indicated in 29 min ago post. brace yourself, corresponding with them is like tryin to talk to a cat i know done it alot see ya
No offence to my buddies across the border, but I've been locked and loaded (with matching jackets for my daughter, and mother and father and beau) for a while now. Come see us up a ways in Pemberton if you like. It might be small but it will keep you alive. The really funny thing is that no one is laughing at me anymore for having a little backup. Go figure.

Everything posted since yesterday has gone completely over my head. Either I am privileged to share a site with highly educated and thoughtful people, or the bullshit is too obscure for me. Maybe it's just that there is a heavy North American slant to the knowledge shared? No offence.
RF--if the stone went oops upside your head, then so be it.
Thinking that there is something "deep", "new" or convincing in that movie puts one squarely in with the sheep.
Read Canuck's response to the link I left.
You should take some time and read it as well.
streamy actually from what i can tell, (been checking the historical record) thus far there have been no misrepresentation of facts. you can draw a different conclusion. but the actual historical events are real....also when you criticize something try to be a little more specific thanx
I am thoughtful....however nothing I say is over anyones head. I don't bullshit....however I can be kinda out there sometimes. But pleasssssse, do not take me as a typical example of Canadians or any other example of my multitude of heritages (gosh, did that make sense?). If you are really curious about what I might have said above, it's simple. I've been hunting down the identity of Glumberts creator for a while, which 99% of the people on this site already new (but didn't tell me) so when I tracked it down and learned that he sold out (which by the way if I was offered a whole lot of money I bet I would do the same) to a corporation I had an immediate response. Which was to lamely post the lame post that I lamely posted above. Dangit.....I was trying to clarify things..... Well, there you go arseface. It's not you.....it's me :-)
Point taken chuck and ram. I bet a lot of people hit this site just to read our inane blithering though. I'm still not convinced about the power of web advertising. Haven't done any research, but I for one just ignore it. Anyone agree?
that's why they use a chick in the upper right hand corner with huge tits and in small writting www.maxim.com/video...a certain % will click on that photo,,, this will lead to more promises and more intense adverstisement,,etc. etc. ...
KSWILSON, I know a Kirsten Wilson, if you can tell me what we shot, literally, together in high school, I'll believe it's you. Another hint, my mother's name is June and she was a coach. Hope to here from you and if it's you say hi to Sharon.
Right ram.

A SUICIDE bomber struck at the Baghdad Hilton last night, forcing me to miss a dinner appointment.
I was hit on the left hand by a piece of pumis stone shrapnel as I was showering in my 42nd floor suite and a nasty blister appeared on my little finger. It was pretty painful and I decided to cancel my scheduled exclusive interview with Iraq's representative in the 2008 Miss World contest, Underma Burka.
The blast also killed 357 Iraqi civilians, including security and hotel staff, but who gives a shit.
Chaz.....okay....here's my personal opinion, re: "Zietgeist":
I always believe that a good documentary (or even "docu-drama") will always achieve at least ONE objective: to ignite a lively discourse or debate; get folks talking about whatever issues, and who knows..maybe even teach people a thing or two. In my own case, here's what this fascinating piece made me aware of: that the U.S. Federal Reserve is NOT an agency of the government; rather, it's a private banking corporation. There really WAS a meeting on Jekyll Island between to the top-tier bankers in the U.S. to create the Reserve; The Lusitania WAS a set-up (that's already been established long ago); FDR DID provoke the Japs in '41 (oil embargo, freezing assets, etc); The Gulf Of Tonkin Incident WAS fabricated bullshit (Robert McNamara has already admitted this), but as for 9/11? Well, here's my problem with THAT: each and every single thing that this current Administration has touched, has turned into freeze-dried dogshit. They'd fuck up a two-car funeral, if given the chance. The magnitude of their sheer incompetance is off the scale. Now...I'm supposed to believe that THEY had the wherewithal and BRAINS and SKILL.....to pull off an "inside job" caper, like 9/11? From start to finish? I'm sorry. I can't buy into that. I just can NOT give this current Administration THAT kind of credit, however corrupt or clueless they may be. As for the religious content in this film, the belief that modern "christianity" is based on the similar beliefs of other deities that pre-date it by a huge margin is something I was already aware of. What I didn't know, was that there were so MANY other belief systems, that followed the same pattern. That part of it, just made me shake my head, and mutter "It figures" to myself. The JFK speech in it was profound, and moving. Small wonder he was assassinated. Sad.
So, in conclusion...do I believe that a cartel of powerful bankers has manipulated the entire U.S. society for the last 60 or 70 years? Undecided, leaning towards doubtful. Instead, what I DO believe (and what is more likely and plausible) is that the very horror that President Eisenhower warned Americans about, has taken place; i.e., the "military industrial complex" has, in fact, become the de facto policy-making machine in Washington. And ALL federal politicians there (Republican and Democrats alike) have, to varying degrees, become its paid partners, hand-in-hand.
Basically, a complete sell-out.
That's my opinion on this film.
(We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming, already in progress, "I Left My Hockey Stick In Moose Jaw", starring Canuck1963 as The Misunderstood Guy.)
"Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.... We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price."
Hey we discussed this already, right? But I call it a corporate plutocracy, which I believe is a more accurate description, because it is not just military corporations.
I would estimate that 90% of the US government does what the corporations pay them to do and say. The un-purchased representatives of the people soon see the futility and profit to be gained by taking the money, and doing what they are told.
No one with more than a million in personal or family assets should be a representative for the people. Millionaires make decisions that benefit the millionaires , and most of this country (the people) are not millionaires.
it's amazing that the best defense of the existing power structure in the united states comes down to an inability to carry out a conspiracy due to incompetence .... but i agree the job is definitely be to big for these guys ......so who does that leave hmmmm , let me think....
meanwhile let's all decompress and listen to the classic "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield... thank god for this short attention span
A HUGE earthquake measuring 9.5 on the Richter Scale has devastated several areas of downtown Quebec.
Early indications are that more than 700 people have lost their lives, while thousands more are still unaccounted for.
The Mayor of Quebec, Rabbi Leopold Legrange, described the quake as "the worst ever disaster to have struck this city".
Rescue teams from Canada, the US and France, using heat sensors and sniffer dogs, are currently involved in a desperate race against time to find survivors.
Former New York Mayor Rudi Giuiliani is helping to coordinate the rescue operation because of his experience during 9/11.
He said: "We're working flat out to see if any American citizens are trapped in the rubble. There's probably a lot more cheese-eating surrender monkey Canucks in there, but who gives a shit."
THE Governor of California, former movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger, has exploded.
His body parts were discovered on the ceiling and walls of his bedroom by a cleaner at his $8 million Beverley Hills mansion early this morning.
Unconfirmed reports suggest the Terminator star blew up after eating a Faberge egg packed with nitro glycerine - a gift from Democrat presidential hopeful Hilary Clinton.
Mr Schwarzenegger's personal aide Jack Diamond said: "The boss had an eating disorder and was dyslexic, but that's no excuse. Basically, he was just a stupid bastard who ate anything you put in his hand. The worst thing is that the egg was destroyed. It must have been worth a few bucks."
A Republican party spokesman said: "Of course, Arnie will be a huge loss, but we have a wax dummy which will probably be able to honour his speaking commitments and, who knows, might even give that bitch Clinton a run for the presidency."
The star's mother, 98-year-old Grunhilda Schwarzenegger, told the Times: "I don't give a shit."
A MAN from Anselmo, Nebraska has grown an extra penis.
Automobile mechanic Richard Head woke yesterday morning to find the 5 inch appendage sprouting from the back of his skull.
Mr Head (48), was rushed by air ambulance to Omaha General Hospital where doctors are currently deciding how to treat him.
Head of Neurosurgery Fred Fiszer said: "The penis was 5 inches when he was admitted but seems to be growing at an alarming rate. Within three hours of his being admitted, Mr Head's second penis had stretched to four feet, and he is finding it impossible to keep his balance when walking. We're assessing the possibility of surgery, but at the moment the patient seems determined to leave things as they are. His condition is nothing short of a medical miracle."
Mr Head, a local Rotarian, amateur taxidermist and tenpin bowling champion, said: "Hey! It ain't all bad. When I get a hard on it sure gets folks' attention."
Editor of the prestigious journal New Scientist and Professor Emeritus at Harvard, Humphrey Bassinger, commented: "This is a truly incredible occurrence, but, frankly, I don't give a shit."
For those interested...
(It has been a long time since I heard anyone sriously bring up the parallels between Jesus and Horus/Mithra. Largely on the backs of Christian scholars and Jewish scholars who have shown the errors in this type of thinking. It may be new to some, but it is not.)
actually the author agrees on a number of points, and on a number of others the differences are minor and it's true some he rejects .... however, it seems you are ignoring the rest of the documentary you shouldn't it fascinatin .....Listen to JFK's speech..do you think he was just bullshitting us?? he was shot not long after ask yourself who would do such a thing and why
I've had a look. Still none the wiser. I hate to say it, but has no-one got better things to do than become absorbed in arcane websites that seem to have no relevance for the 21st century? I hope I haven't offended anybody - Klingons included.
I wanted to check out a few things..."Zeitgeist" being one of them. It seems that is a german word referring to the prevailing "spirit" of the times, as for example, "flappers" might be a characteristic "spirit" of the '20's, or perhaps hedonism' might characterize life in Rome at its peak of power, at least for its leadership, if not the masses.
The movie set out several points of sameness down the ages, from early pagan belief practices to the Jesus story...namely, virgin birth, 3 "kings", prodigal child moments, 12 disciples, "Lamb of God" term, betrayal, Crucifixion, 3 days dead, and finally, resurrection...noteworthy is the wording of all these items in terms currently identified with Christianity. Like, that's the real target (?).
So...for a major part of the two hour film we listened as the narrator diminished the Christ story by citing one myth after another, point being to dilute the validity of various points of belief in Christianity by showing them to be mere copies of prior pagan rituals. Actually, it does a pretty good job of it.
But I think it might be a case of overkill...spent a lot of time, but clearly not enough, checking a few items the movie claimed as uniformly applied to god-figures down the ages, including Christ:
Horus....Sun God, Sky God, son of Osiris and Isis...no virgin birth, no 3 kings, no prodigal child, no "initiation" (baptism, or whatever) in later life, can't recall his passing, but wasn't crucifixion, I think. Quite apart from "virgin" birth, Horus was (mythologically, and somewhat erotically) the product of Isis' masturbating with a penis she "fashioned" after finding all the parts of her husband Osiris (who was killed and dismembered into 14 pieces by Set, clearly not a Red Sox fan) except for his genitals (which Set had tossed into a river). Go figure. Anyway, not close to a precursor to Christian concepts, and boffing oneself with a make-believe boner doesn't make it as a sterling example of virgin behavior (or does it....hmmm).
Then there's Attis...a Phrygian vegetation god. This one is really nuts. Agdista was a child of Cybele and had all the pieces and parts of both guys and girls. Cybele threw some mean partays....orgiastic, in fact. Not like mother Mary, I'd say. Which is OK, because it was Nana that birthed Attis. She did this by having an almond on her breast...an almond from a tree that grew from Agdista's castrated male genitals, which were tossed away by "Olympian gods" who feared him...er...her (as it turns out). Did I mention, Agdista t(he multi-sexed) was Cybele's child...how proud she must have been.
Anyway, later, as Attis was apparently trying to get a life of his own by marrying a king's daughter, Cybele appeared in her (myths do this, you know) god-like personna...and Attis went mad and castrated himself, and died (not a bad idea, all considered)...and was reborn as a pine tree. So had Jesus emerged from the tomb bearing olives, or even apples, actually, I mean, growing them from his "limbs", we'd have a terrific precursor for Christian symbolism right there.
I did one more before lapsing into a coma...Krishna. 8th incarnation of Vishnu. 8th son born to Princess Devaki and Vasudeva, royal family of Mathura...but not a happy family. Devaki's brother, Kamsa, deposed his father and took leadership of India, and because he learned a prophesy that Devaki's 8th son would kill him, he imprisoned his sister, her husband, and killed her first six children (thinking the 7th had been stillborn)...and Krishna, the 8th, was secreted away from harm...and thus he lived to kill Kamsa and reinstate the former leadership. According to some sources, it is said that Krishna had 16,108 wives. Woof. Anyway, only 8 were "chief"...talk about spreading the joy, eh?
OK....no virgin birth (c'mon, 8 kids, and he's the 8th...no virgin there, I'm thinking), no death, no rebirth, no 3 kings, no 12 disciples, no betrayal...etc, etc..
I may look into some others...Dionysus, Mithra, et al....but for now, I am not able to support the movie's suggestion that Christian faith is merely a recycling of prior pagan beliefs. That said, I am more than ready to stipulate that the ways and means to express beliefs are pretty much common amongst most all faith groups, by and large...so there is bound to be lots of sameness amongst them, and from era to era as well.
Thank you, Chaz, for a well-looked into and thought out posting.
I personally would like to see an acknowledgement of primary, secondary, tertiary sources etc. The link I referenced was very good in dealing with assumptions of secondary sources and how they colored future research.
Whoa...that was like, the result of verbal laxatives, eh?
Blame Canuck and his two hour movie citation.
I'm having another chardonnay right away....and watching the Monday Night Football deal. (Escaped with our shirts yesterday against the surprising Philadelphia Eagles...reality check there, I think).
canuck...I am a mere shadow of your vaunted research. But frankly, it's a real butt blister to have to do the lookups needed to qualify different citations that are thrown up as supports for this or another point of view. I mean, we all and each believe what we believe, and search our lives for reasons to support it...and find what we can positive, and forget what we think is non-supportive.
I have no idea if I'm giving good direction....I just revolt at the notion of pap to the people...and am pissed at thinking I need to post reasoned rebuttals to offset gratuitous naysayers. Jeeeeez.....where are our thinkers?
No offense....chardonnay #4 coming up....god, life is good.
Probably you can't spell. Typical of people who try to bash on others. Don't throw stones in a glass house. If you're referring to President Bush....... isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? Way to go captain obvious. You just won the door prize!! Ding ding ding!! Shut the hell up ya dumb wanker!!!
Right...I believe that they're a compilation of commercial adverts...think about it...where does someone in an office simply get hold of a sledgehammer? How come no one moves farther away from the copy machine, desktop, and laptop ragers? How come no-one tried to break up the fight between the traders? How come that smoker didn't fight back...nothing in an extinguisher can hurt you...except maybe, the extinguisher itself. No one in their right mind would stand around...shocked or otherwise, while another person self-destructs. If someone tossed a monitor at me I'd wrap it back around their lips! Thanks for letting me rage, I hope ye all took proper cover. lol
Ok....this wasnt funny, and judging by your comments i would guess(and a couple of you made it clearly obvious) that you are a bunch of old fogeys. (those that arent, dont take offense, but get used to it.) and Chummin, go die. My clan is probably ten times as big as yours, if you have one.
yeah, made me giggle too... there were days a while back that I wanted to do just that! I needed a laugh ... and this video did the job. Thanks, Glumbert; ya did it again!
