Hello everybody, or whoever is left out there that still 'tunes in' every now and then.
It's been a lot of fun, and you apparently can live in the past, can't you?
My interests lie elsewhere, but some of them are still here.
It's been a good run, so why stop it now.? I love you all, so why say goodbye.?
Brian.
This blog is like a mattress shop in my neighborhood - it's gone outta business at least once every three months for the last decade ;)
ReplyDelete...then I have a 'running out of things to say' sale and we re-open.
DeleteAnd your Frankenblog still gets more traffic than mine....
ReplyDeleteWell, since you have a pictorial blog and a picture's worth a thousand words, simply multiply your comments by a thousand and....
DeleteGood one!
DeleteYAY! LOL
ReplyDeletePliny, I think that you use your blog to vent when I frustrate you, lol. I post something here about reality being consciousness and then I go to your place and watch you put up three days in a row of anti-woo stuff.
ReplyDeleteActually no B. Typically what I've been doing is create a half dozen or so panels when I'm free and then schedule them for about 2 weeks in advance. (I have an image library I created to allow me to get a panel done in about 10 minutes.) If something breaks, I change up the order. Also the multiple panels on quantum effects was spurred by a battle going on between Jerry Coyne and Deepak Chopra and a neurosurgeon who promotes biocentrism.
DeleteBut the Lucy in the Sky one was just for you, it's true ;)
Delete...and I was indeed flattered. :-)
DeletePboy, your cute puppy icon goes well with that comment... it looks like something he would say.
ReplyDeleteI had to go get some bank stuff done and left him home. When I got back I heard he was crying for me all the time.
ReplyDeleteEmma has to learn to distract him. He loves chasing the light spot from the laser pointer.
Well, of course we can live in the past...didn't Jethro Tull tell us that in 1969? :-) Hey, I'm still here...AWOL for a bit due to hubs continuing health stuff, out of hospital now though and doing good. :-) Brian, thanks for the link, Ian that pup IS adorable, and Pliny your pictorial is great, loved the tribute to SBTG. LOL It's a little strange that the Frankenblog has distinct "resurrection" qualities to it, no? Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. I'm having a new experience...my oldest son, Sam is 34 and over the last year has been developing a really solid relationship with a woman 5 years older than him. She's beautiful, kind, funny, smart....I love that he has found someone. Upshot? Me that has had no grandkids suddenly find myself with a 16 year old and a 7 year old! LOL It's been a slow introduction since they were making sure this WAS solid so as not to screw up the kids, so now it's a full involvement thing. It's great, super sweet kids, they love Sam and he them. To have these kids suddenly throwing arms around us and wanting to come visit all the time is awesome.
ReplyDeleteBrian, I had another experience (or a "woo" as pliny and Ian may call it :-) ) The day before Den (husband) was admitted to the hospital, he was really fine. But I was full of foreboding all day long. I kept thinking "something is really wrong, something bad" but I didn't know what, and I didn't think it was him...just "something." It felt like I was just waiting to find out what what going to hit. The next day, he ended up in the ER with a systemic infection that was really bad. It hit him at work, and he thought he had appendicitis...this sudden onset unbearable pain. He was admitted right from the ER and had 4 days of IV antibiotics. So, did I foresee? Why did I know something was wrong? Was he giving off symptoms that I picked up on and didn't recognize at the time? I didn't think so because he seemed so well. Feels like a "woo" to me. :-)
I don't know, but I'm glad it's under control.
DeleteWho am I to discount something like your story there? Interconnectedness would account for a lot of things, if it is true.
A couple of hours ago I finished reading a trashy sword and sorcery novel (yes, I like such escapist stuff) in which one of the protagonists had as a 'special power' the ability to slow down time in battle. To see everybody moving slowly, that sort of thing. So it finished, the sequel not out yet, so I looked for another one, another sword and sorcery novel from a search. I find one with good ratings (I'm shopping on a Kindle here), the first book in a series, and read the sample, like it, and buy it.
ReplyDeleteSo in the second novel I start to read, the young protagonist seems to have the ability to use a sword really well, naturally... he's very fast.
Right there, I knew. He could also slow down time in the same way as the other guy from the other novel. Reading on of course confirmed it.
Serious question....is the light in your head there for this type of thing? It seems like one of your "lesser" experiences, probably doesn't make you startle or anything by comparison to the big weird things that happen to you..is it just a quiet knowing without the light, or is it the same intensity for you as the other stuff?
DeleteI don't think so. I wasn't thinking about it or noticing it before or while it was happening. I was just reading.
DeleteI've been getting little intuitions like that lately. Like a synchronicity but I feel it approaching, kinda.
a "woo" as pliny and Ian may call it...
ReplyDeleteI want to call it a clash of biologically active chemicals with a living being
Ok, if you're going all sciencey on me! LOL The Woo, henceforth technically known as the CoBACwaLB. He was definitely a steaming petri dish of ooze by the time he got to the ER, that could have been enough to be giving off indicators while it was brewing. I could have picked that up without knowing exactly what it was...just that something different (ominous, too) was "in the air."
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that Ian was talking about drugs and me, and not sick-person pheromones in your man there. Could be wrong though... but I'm thinking that's the CoBACwaLB.
ReplyDeleteWe have a doll stuck to the bathroom mirror, 'Party Animal' on her tee-shirt and a bottle of some good stuff in one hand.
ReplyDeletePrettyboy Floyd used to park on her head in the morning, that was one of his other 'selves' he used, to maintain his birditude(or like that, what do I know?)
Anyways, we'd go in there and chide him for humping Party Animal, "Silly boy, silly bird."
Just now I noticed that her pants looked droopy and upon further inspection, pulling up her tee-shirt, her pants were below her bum!
I'm starting to think that Party Animal was to blame for Prettyboy's indiscretion!
I never imagined that this doll actually had separate clothes on, actually had a bum and what looks like a belly button. REALLY? On a stick-to-a-mirror doll.
Anyways, guess that's my eulogy for my bird, may he be in birdy heaven now.
Shit, that's kinda sad, dude.
ReplyDelete(head bowed in respect for birdatude)
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/06/rick-santorum-nelson-mandela_n_4398155.html
ReplyDeleteSo now that Mandela's dead and can't rebut idiots on the right, Rick Santorum is out there claiming that Mandela's fight against Apartheid is a lot like the republican party's fight against Obamacare.
No, really.
It is amazing to me how very blatantly hypocritical these fucking idiots get while attempting to wrap up their stink in someone or something that is actually good. Gandhi, King, Mandela, Jesus Christ... anybody that is or was perceived to be a good person... or the flag, or their religion since that's perceived by many to be automatically a good thing... no hypocrisy is too deep for these numbskulls to dive in head first.
It is interesting, since they must by definition know that Mandela was a good man, but they can't seem to see *why* he was a good man.
Every goddam thing under the sun is a talking point to these idiots.
A couple of quotes that I think apply well to Republicans...
ReplyDelete“The evil within one’s self usually poses as the good as well. It has truly been said that ‘the road to hell is paved with good intentions.’ –The paving stones are more often the good intentions we carry out than those we do not.
The human mind is capable of incredible subtlety in the dodging of the facing of its own iniquity, though if one is very self-observant one can sometimes detect the qlippoth (demons) within through the manifestation within one’s self of any strong irrational dislike. The hidden maggots of one’s own soul are usually projected in righteous indignation upon others. The beam in another’s eye is usually the reflection of the mote in one’s own. (…)”
-Gareth Knight, ‘A Precise Guide to Qabalistic Symbolism’
"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."
- Kenneth Galbraith
And this one, I really like:
"I love the evil man who knows that he is evil more than the righteous man that knows he is righteous. Of the evil people that consider themselves righteous, however, the following is said: "They do not even turn away at the threshold of the underworld." For they imagine that they are being led to hell in order to redeem the souls there.
-Tales of the Chassidim
Even if you're a stupid evil cunt, you still have to rationalize it, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteWho wants to wake up in the morning, look their face in the mirror and think, "I'm a stupid evil cunt."
So they rationalize. Sadly other stupid people believe them.
I did hear one of the right wing think tank boys rationalizing setting up a factory in destitute places to take advantage of the slave wages they can get away with paying. He said that he thought that the factory owners were doing those people a favor.
ReplyDeleteHe explained that when the people organized and tried to get a living wage for their work, their work was done and they could ship their factory to some other destitute town to take advantage of their poorest people.
Of course he explained all this with a smirk on his face, that same smirk that those oh-so-smart bankers with the 160 I.Q.s have when they look down their noses at anyone trying to cut them off of their disingenuous money shuffling which turns the public's money into their money. Legalized stealing, nothing more or less.
That same smirk that Mitt Romney has because he knows full well that when he buys a company and splits it up or sells it off in chunks he's the one who is going to be pocketting the pension fund that the workers had bargained for over their years working there.
How can they look themselves in the face in the morning? Sitting on a pile of what was supposed to be other people's money.
The evil person that considers himself righteous.
ReplyDeleteWe have a LOT of those around lately.
CoBACwaLB
ReplyDeleteI looked this up on Google. Then I figured it out. I suppose both your poor husband's trouble and Brian's salvia experiments could be called that.
Did they say what it was? Did they use the acronym CoBACwaLB? LOL
HA! You didn't recognize your own statement when it was acronymized!
ReplyDelete(I just made up a new word, cool!)
I vote we send all religious fundamentalists to Mars and give them all nukes.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the utter destruction of Mars will affect our orbit, though... Hmm....
Uranus? Then there would be Klingons around Uranus..... Seems appropriate to me.
Brian,I'm Glad you and the others are still here. I stop by often to see what new subject you are commenting about. Glad to have known all of you and glad you are all still here. PS The Christian topics are the best in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mike, and I'm glad you're still kicking around, looking in from time to time.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think of the new Pope, just out of curiosity?
See, I happen to like him, what with him sounding like Jesus a lot and all. You know, the unimportant stuff.
DeleteWhere's your penchant for greed, destroying lives, and fleecing sheeple? I'm beginning to think you're not really a saint, and this blog isn't for delusional, tribally focused nonsense. Come back to the correct side Bri. One that acts only in the name of Jesus' whacked out metaphysics!
DeleteIf you disagree, tell me how Jesus Christ wasn't a liberal humanist.
ReplyDelete(Well, you said you liked Christian topics.... be careful what you wish for!)
I have to say Mike, that whatever differences we have, I have to admire you being willing to swim with the sharks here as you still do.
ReplyDelete"CoBACwaLB
ReplyDeleteI looked this up on Google. Then I figured it out. I suppose both your poor husband's trouble and Brian's salvia experiments could be called that.

LOL! They did not use the acronym, but should have? Funny that you were thinking in terms of Brian but I thought it fit my circumstances too. Yes, they did say what it was...Sepsis (infection in blood stream), which began as diverticulitis but migrated.
Ian, don't get me started on Mittens, I have binders full of contempt for him....I don't think I've ever seen a politician at a Manchurian candidate level such as him. There are others highly evil, but he is an empty vessel willing to take any position he is told, or thinks people want to hear. I swear the man does not have a single core belief in his body, there really is a robot underneath. Accckk...too late, I'm started... LOL
The new pope....I like that he has Fox News in a tizzy. They now have this strange position to defend - the "war on christmas" is on, while defending obscene commercialism as being what christmas is all about. Now that the pope has come out against that, they are at odds with him! Fox has to go up against the pope over christmas....priceless. :-)
Ian, was sorry to hear about the loss of your bird. My condolences. :-( They are never "just pets" they are much loved family.
For no particular reason....I went with my son to see the Brian Setzer Orchestra Christmas show....fantastic! That man puts on a show that amazes, lots of fun.
Swimming with the sharks? I was of the opinion that we were the good guys.
ReplyDeleteHi Mike, what is new and interesting in your life these days?
Hey, have you had any CoBACwaLBs lately?
(Anything that can be a Clash of Biologically Active Chemicals with a Living Being?)
We are the wolves of logic threatening to prey on Mike's sheep of belief...
DeleteBut sharks is close enough for gub'mint work.
I want you to imagine that you're back there a couple of thousand years ago. You're travelling around with some guy who claims he is 'The Son of Man', and you know he means 'The Son of God, God incarnate'.
ReplyDeleteYou're right there, in your imagination, watching him do his thing.
You see him turn a few fish and a couple of loaves of bread into mucho fish sandwiches, and you are AMAZED!
You see him turn water into wine, and you are AMAZED!
At this point you think you're amaze-proof, but no, he makes a blind man see, he makes a cripple walk, he heals lepers, and you are fucking AMAZED!
Now, you are really convinced, what does this guy have to do to make you more of a believer, bring some son-of-a-bitch back from the DEAD?
Well, he does that too!
After all this, you go have some supper with him and decide, "I've HAD ENOUGH of this, I'm going to rat this GOD out to the authorities, I'm cashing out for 30 pieces of silver! Cha-fucking-ching!"
Of course that happened just like that, didn't it?
EWWW!
ReplyDeleteYou're just jealous because our God is a great short-order cook, a terrific bartender and the best damned General Practitioner EVA!
But the important question is, did he make enough tartar sauce?
DeleteAhh, just like old times.
ReplyDeleteAhh Pboy, your point about Judas is an excellent one. Who, in their right mind, would go against God when you can be absolutely CERTAIN that it is indeed God that you're going against?
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me of my old point about the Rebellion in Heaven:
So, Lucifer is very, very proud. (Wonder why God made him that way?) And so he plans a rebellion, an attempt to overthrow God. (And God doesn't have a clue that this is happening) So then he fails and is cast down. He never expected that, I guess. I mean, it was only God he went up against.
So he's what, exactly?
Can you say STUPID?
I didn't think that Lucifer, the highest of all angels, was a dunce like that.
Or hey, how about later on in the OT when Lucifer decides to GAMBLE with an omniscient, omnipotent being?
He's sure dense, that little devil...
Or why'd God let the snake, played by Satan in the minds of the silly, into the garden in the first place?
ReplyDeleteWhy'd he punish him for it later? Why'd he make Adam and Eve to be so gullible...
Why why why oh why?
(The forbidden word to the religious)
I was having a chat with Brent on Facebook about this. He's a school principal.
ReplyDeleteI didn't rant at him, but he was sort of couching his comments over to his side of the argument and I was couching my comments away.
Why does he believe that Judas did this?
Easy.
Judas must have done this because he, Brent, believes all the other stuff the Gospels say, so how could he not have done it. Judas was just a spy for the Sanhedrin all the time.
He didn't even notice that he hadn't put the slightest dent in my argument which was, as you point out, that surely seeing is believing, and Judas had a front row seat as to whether Jesus was the real thing or no.
I think it says a lot about the truth of the Gospels if Jesus couldn't convince someone who was following him around watching him perform.
You have to master the skill of double think. God is good, God is all powerful, all knowing, created everything in the universe and loves his creation above all....on the other hand, that means he also created Satan, whom he has trouble defeating, a constant struggle against his own evil implanted in his world. Satan has the power to lure Gods people away from him, and God doesn't have the power to stop this. Or he does, but he's enjoying the game of demanding people choose sides and sending his "loved ones" into eternal hell if need be. Everything God creates is perfect...if you put aside those diseases, human cruelty, enviornmental devastations. Those are horrible things for people to deal with, but it's just God's mysterious way to see if you will still love him while you are suffering everything he has thrown at you. God is either impotent to protect and love his people, or he has a sadistic game playing streak. "Love and obey me or I release the Krackens". " Ooops, I do love and obey you and you release the Krackens anyway." "That's just to see if you will still love me even though I fuck with you."
ReplyDelete"And by the way, you were born sinful....I wanted you to start out already pegged as evil so that you can try to work your way out of it. I made you KNOWING that you were not going to love me, and that I could punish you for it. Good luck with that....."
ReplyDeleteOOO!
ReplyDeleteHere's one of my favorites!
In the OT Moses was charged by God to set the Israelites free. So he goes to Pharaoh and asks or something. Here's the kicker: At that point, God *hardened Pharaoh's heart" so that Pharaoh didn't just let them fucking go. You see, God wanted to send some plagues and show off.
Why does he believe that Judas did this?
ReplyDeleteEasy.
Judas must have done this because he, Brent, believes all the other stuff the Gospels say, so how could he not have done it. Judas was just a spy for the Sanhedrin all the time.
He didn't even notice that he hadn't put the slightest dent in my argument (...)
--------------------------
It's tough being a believer and dealing with logical thought. I mean, you're *certain.* You not only have no doubts, you're proud of being such a good christian that you don't have any doubts. Not doubting is what you do as a good christian. Doubts are EVIL.
So then you run into a sentence that you cannot answer, an argument that is based in logic and proves you, and the bible, wrong.
Hell, you can't even *look* at that too closely. Too dangerous, too evil. You know you believe, so (and this is where I start guessing) you just kinda defocus your eyes and mind and cleave to your faith, finding strength in your blindness. You cannot enter into that argument at all, you must pretend it's not there, and move on to something that you feel comfortable with. To address it would be to take a step onto the path of logic and reason, and that shit doesn't mix with religion. It destroys it. So you must pretend that the argument wasn't worth responding to, or you just reflexively blind yourself to it and hope it goes away.
It just makes my head spin with all the mental gymnastics you would have to do square all the conflicting information in the bible. Do you not kill or do you stone adulterers? Do you turn the other cheek, or take an eye for an eye? Do you forgive, or do you damn to eternal hellfire? The Old Testament shows God to be vengeful, wrathful, harsh, punishing, unyielding. The NT tries to say "nevermind, it's all sweetness and light." Seriously, if God was so distraught, angry and disappointed over his sinful creation and wiped out the entire population with a flood because of it, why didn't he get us right the second time around? He did the same thing over again, knowing that he had to kill us all the first time.
ReplyDeleteOff topic... Brian, we had reconnected on Huffpost when I fanned and faved your comments. Have you been on today? I cancelled my account. That whole issue that started in the summer with phasing out anonymity has now hit the fan. They tried to sell it as "old accounts will be grandfathered in, new accounts will have to link with facebook." They lied. Surprised? I knew they would do that. No more commenting allowed without being linked to facebook. For EVERYBODY. I don't have a FB account and never will. I enjoyed being a commenter and participant on the Huffpost site, but now will not go back. Being able to comment and discuss was the only reason to go there more often than the Daily Kos, or Slate and some of the others. Wonder what's up with the exclusive deal with FB....this farce of FB verifying your real identity is a sham, they're not verifying anything with all the fake FB accounts out there. And you can't verify with anything else, like Google or AOL. Just FB.
I know! I went to HP today and discovered that I needed to link to my facebook account, which I don't have and never will, and that's it for me. I'm done there. I told them off nicely in a letter, for which it took me ten minutes to find a way to send it to them, since they seem to believe that it's never, ever necessary to actually *help* someone in any personal way. I'm really pissed at them now. I mean, WTF?
ReplyDeleteTo the first part of your post there, I find myself wondering why and how a so-called infallible god got us wrong the first time, and why he got us wrong again. Why did he admit that he was mistaken about the flood, for that matter?
ReplyDeleteThis guy's a REPUBLICAN. He claims infallibility and holiness as a DODGE. In reality he's an incompetent, narcissistic asshole.

ReplyDelete-------------------------------------------------------
Good for you...I looked for a way to email (one would think it was the email button next to the author's name, but nooooooooooooooooooo) and when I finally found the page and all the verification I had to go through just to email, I quit trying. I hope the mass exodus that is happening will be all the message they need. I've been reading the comments to the change, 99% of them are from people who made fake FB accounts just to say they will now leave HP, tallying up how many friends have just disappeared by deleting their accounts, and laughing at the front page stories that used to have 1000 comments now having 20 or 30. Hope the crash and burn continues, what an outrageous move on their part.
I see Huffington Post as a right-wing business model capitalizing on the left wing.
DeleteAriana is a rightwing troll. Typical rich woman, but she found a way to make it big by pretending to give a shit about the world.

Ya know what never makes sense? That whole free will thing. Supposedly god knows you when you are born, knows exactly what path you are going to take....he is your creator after all. Then they say he gives you free will to choose your life. Really? Then why does everyone then say that god has a plan for you when some tragedy strikes? If he has a plan that's going to work, why then does he create babies he knows will grow up to be....say Hitler or Manson. Can't he see that coming? Oh, free will, they turned against him. But he knew that because God has a plan for everyone's life, right? I love when the religious say "it's a miracle, god saved his life, god intervened and saved him!" when speaking of the lone survivor or a plane crash that kills 60 others. How is that a miracle? Why didn't he intervene for the other 60 poor bastards? Crash a plane load of 60 that everyone survives, then I'll consider your miracle. LOL
This always bothers me, have never recieved an answer....say I'm a deeply religious person, I have total faith but want to know how biblical history works. I'm not a moron so I see with my own eyes things that are "off." After God wipes out the entire world of sinners save for Noah and his family....how did they repopulate the world? Who did Noah's children have children with? How did Noah's children then become different races all over the world....Asian, Nordic, African, Mayan, Aboriginal, etc? Either God did not wipe all people but Noah and family away, or there was massive change (evolution!!!!!) in the original family of Adam and Eve. And by the way, how then did Adam and Eve's childrens childrens childrens children become Asian, Nordic, Aboriginal, etc? So I ask the experts (atheists of course) what would a religious leader tell someone asking those questions? When I have asked the religious they punted...have faith, read your bible, not everything is supposed to be understood, the mysterious ways of god, etc. Do they ever have an answer?
ReplyDeleteNot evolution. Evolution takes way longer than a few paltry thousand years for major phenotypical changes, at least with mammalian species. So that's out.
DeleteYoutube seems to be trying to get me to 'come out' as me.
ReplyDelete"Why don't you use your real name and give us your cellie number while you're at it?"
LOL not.
Not them too! What is this? Why is everybody trying to eliminate anonymity on the web?
DeleteOh, don't even get me going on the Ark story. I'd say that of all biblical stories, that one has the most flaws in it.
ReplyDeleteI can do an hour on it, just off the top of my head. What about the insects? How'd they survive? The platypus? How'd it get to the middle east? Same with arrow poison frogs. Hey, how about all the world's freshwater fishes? How'd they survive forty days in salt water? And so on, and on, and on...
I guess Mike just does drive-by's nowadays. One or two comments, then see ya next month. No engagement.
ReplyDeleteA worldwide flood would have destroyed the SOIL, too. Saltwater? All over the world? C'mon.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention all the world's plants.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOL! I can see you at a comedy club, doing improv Noah's Ark. :-) So I take it that no one here has ever had an answer from a religious person other than what I already got? Have faith and mystery it is then. Or maybe it's that smarmy "not everything in the bible is literal".....how they pick and choose which ones are is beyond me I guess.
OK, even though I am no longer a HP member....this is quite an article:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/11/universe-hologram-physicists_n_4428359.html
I have NO idea what it means, do any of you? Hologram universe, string theory, dimensions, time, space, particles.... and they're serious. And Ian....no loaves of bread to slice, I promise! :-) If anyone can explain the basic concept of this to me, would be much appreciated. I'm completely fascinated without knowing why or what the implications are.
I've seen this before. It would seem that it's gaining support.
DeleteWe think in three dimensions, and one of time. However this can be a projection off a two-dimensional surface. Like a hologram is projected when laser light strikes a flat surface with encoded information on it. Actual reality may be nothing like wee perceive it to be.
It's things like this that makes me think my ideas of reality being consciousness aren't so far-fetched. When science starts to sound more absurd than the magical thinking, then at least, it's food for thought.
Science isn't there yet. Perhaps it will be someday. It does seem to get closer as time goes by. For now it will seize upon first one thing, and then another. Anything but the obvious. But that's okay. That's its way. And by proceeding that way, when it finally gets there, people will be able to believe it when it announces it.
Hey, just me pondering... nothing definite... just a hunch, badump-bump.
TV and movies can't possibly be influencing me that much! (But btw...how many phone calls do I get if arrested? I was SURE it was just one......how can that not be right?)
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, we do see the results he was speaking of all the time. Hardly anyone remembers we still have a war going on, and after 25 5-6-7 year olds were gunned down just one year ago, nobody is scrambling to keep gun regulation an issue. The moment passes, the collective agenda moves onto the next thing.
Stupid people are more invested in making the world more stupid. They make up what they lack in intellect with sheer effort.
ReplyDeleteWe need to wake up.
Lets imagine what it would take, what magnitude of catastrophe, for it to happen.
It would have to be huge. Bigger than losing a city, for instance. Huge.
For the people to wake up, I mean.
DeleteI just re-watched "Man Of Steel," the newest Superman movie.
ReplyDeleteSuperman really missed the boat.
He should have chosen a different costume.
He should have just pretended to be Jesus Christ.
Now, that's a movie that needs to be made!
See Jesus slap the shit out of congress... lol... They couldn't kill him (and how they'd try!) so eventually they'd have to accept him as Jesus, and then accept that Jesus says that they are wrong.
I can have fun with this.......
Ahem.
ReplyDeleteNew post is up. Or new article, or what.... what is that anyhow? Is it a new article, and this is a post, or what?
Anyhow, new post. You should go there. Do it. Do it now.
