Alphabet books 29 November, 2008

I want to write an adults only alphabet book, the kind of thing in the vein of Animalia.
D:
Dirty Deranged Dutch Deviants Deftly Drill David Duchovny’s Derriere During Dadaist Dance Duels.
Now, who wants to Illustrate?

Critical Mass 26 November, 2008

He’d had his fill of the Abrahamic god in all its forms by the age of 8.  Jehovah, Yahweh, Allah, the triple headed single god was long consumed by his voracious appetite for belief.  The Awakened One, the his ancestors, totems, dreaming all too within him, firmly held in his mind. 
Truly a believer. 
He worshipped no god before [...]

Fables 22 November, 2008

Fables just finished.
Bill Willingham let the ball drop at the end.  Not enough fun, or action, or sense of danger, or escalation of scale.  The Adversary didn’t bring the fight to the Mundy world.  He ended it with a well thought out military campaign, which doesnt make for a fun read.
Ah well.  There’s still Jack.

Mr Shandy 16 November, 2008

Two metres of chain attached him inevitably to the radiator.  It gave him free reign within the room, which included a bed, toilet and a small kitchen, but obviously, but not the world beyond. 
“For his own good,” said the Jew when he gave him the address.  Mr Locke didn’t question it.  His purpose went beyond [...]

On the Death Penalty and Abortion 11 November, 2008

Two queries I put out there to my 3 readers to help answer. 
1:  Does anyone know what proportion of children born and/or put up for adoption are the product of incest in any country/state/region that happens to keep records?
2: Does anyone know what factors, other than appeals, postpone executions of people sentenced to death in US states for [...]

Invasion 10 November, 2008

They landed in their flying silver disk down the street from here, but I don’t think their heart was in it.
They walked down the ramp and wandered around, tut tutting about the environment and leerin occassionally at an introduced specie, but it was all by the by, really.
“We’ve seen this kind of thing before.” S/he [...]

Bonfire 5 November, 2008

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I can think of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t’was his intent
To blow up the King and Parli’ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England’s overthrow;
By God’s providence he was catch’d [...]

“Good” vs “Christian” 3 November, 2008

The bravest people in the world are those who use the word ‘Christian’ where others would use ‘good’ and ‘right’, when that person knows full well they mean different things, because sometimes the Christian thing to do isn’t the right thing to do and yet they choose to do the Christian thing.

Those unique little verbs 2 November, 2008

There are the occassional verbs in the english language which are really only used in one situation.
I mean, other than pain, what else do you writhe in?  Mud?  Sauce?  Agony…Okay, I’ll pay agony.
