When you are working your way through your list for step 9, please keep me out of it. I’ll consider that apology and thanks enough.

Re: Burning Reputations in Science

Monday, 16 July 2012

Strangely enough, last night I was explaining one of the many things I would do if independently wealthy: purchase or harvest expensive/unusual/endemic fossils in, say, South Africa and then plant them in, say, California in similar strata at a location known to be frequented by any famous paleontologist and wait a year or two for the fireworks and implosion.

Speaking of team spirit, among other things I would do with my billions: hire a telephone bank each 4th of July to call every number in the London phone book and ask: Who was the UK’s greatest foe in history? Anyone who answers “George Washington” will be told, “Well, all right then. Have a nice day.” Any other answer will be met with, “YOU SUCK!” and a loud, and confusing in the age of cell phones, hang up.

US flag

I was going to burn a US flag tonight since I found one in the street and it’s apparently protected as free speech under some archaic code of law or other but I realized I might well be ticketed for burning trash.

Wednesday, 27 June 2012

The word "swinger" has been filtered from the search because Google SafeSearch is active.

Thanks Google.

The exact search string was "dodge swinger" and this is what it should have found without the parochial demi-competence becoming the hallmark of the company that can do no evil–

Jesus fucking Christ. Will someone tell me how the fuck she makes 40K a year more than me?

Um… I’ll take a stab at it. Because she’s not a foul-mouthed misogynist with an attitude problem and no sense of decorum. I think that might be getting warm.

Muslim hatred

Thursday, 24 May 2012

Baruch Kopel Goldstein (ברוך קופל גולדשטיין‎) … perpetrated the 1994 Cave of the Patriarchs massacre in the city of Hebron, killing 29 Palestinian Muslim worshipers and wounding another 125.

At Goldstein’s funeral, Rabbi Yaacov Perrin claimed that even one million Arabs are “not worth a Jewish fingernail.” Samuel Hacohen, a teacher at a Jerusalem college, declared Goldstein the “greatest Jew alive, not in one way but in every way” and said that he was “the only one who could do it, the only one who was 100 percent perfect.” In contrast, mainstream Jewish religious leaders “rejected the suggestion that killing Palestinians with an automatic rifle” was authorized by the Torah.

In the weeks following the massacre, hundreds of Israelis traveled to Goldstein's grave to celebrate Goldstein’s actions. Some Hasidim danced and sang around his grave. Although the government has said that those who celebrated the massacre represented only a tiny minority of Israelis, a New York Times report states that Israeli government claims may understate the phenomenon. According to one visitor to the gravesite in the wake of the attacks, “If [Goldstein] stopped these so-called peace talks, then he is truly holy because this is not real peace.” Some visitors kissed and hugged the gravestone, or even kissed the earth under which Goldstein was buried, declaring him a “saint” and “hero of Israel.”

Conversation in a swamp c 1993

Friday, 24 February 2012

LUKE–AS

THE FUTURE? WILL THE MOVIES BE MADE?

ASHYO

(ASHYO CLOSES HIS EYES FOR A MOMENT.)

DIFFICULT TO SEE. ALWAYS IN MOTION IS THE FUTURE.

LUKE–AS

I’VE GOT TO START FILMING THEM.

ASHYO

DECIDE YOU MUST, HOW TO SERVE THEM BEST. IF YOU START STORYBOARDING NOW, FILM THEM YOU COULD, BUT YOU WOULD DESTROY ALL FOR WHICH THEY HAVE FOUGHT, AND SUFFERED.

LUKE–AS

(TAKES OUT HIS CELL PHONE AND DIALS A CASTING DIRECTOR.)

ASHYO

LUKE-AS! YOU MUST COMPLETE THE DUES PAYMENTS.

LUKE–AS

I CAN’T KEEP THE VISION OF C-NOTES FILLING MY SWIMMING POOL OUT OF MY HEAD. THEY’RE MY CASH COWS. I’VE GOT TO MILK THEM.

ASHYO

YOU MUST NOT DIRECT!

LUKE–AS

BUT JOSS WHEDON AND ALAN MOORE WILL ECLIPSE ME IF I DON’T.

NEIL-SAN

YOU DON’T KNOW THAT, PUSSY.

LUKE-AS LOOKS TOWARD THE VOICE IN AMAZEMENT. NEIL-SAN HAS MATERIALIZED AS A REAL, SLIGHTLY SHIMMERING IMAGE NEAR ASHYO. THE POWER OF HIS KI STOPS LUKE.

NEIL-SAN

EVEN ASHYO WOULDN’T PUSS OUT ON THIS. LITTLE BACKWARD TALKING PINK BITCH HE IS.

LUKE–AS

BUT I CAN BANK THEM! I FEEL THE MERCHANDISING!

NEIL-SAN

BUT YOU GOT NO DICK CONTROL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS TIME FOR YOU, WHEN YOU WILL BE TEMPTED BY THE FRANCHISING AND THE FREEDOM TO POP-OFF EVERY INANE WHIM WITHOUT SANE OVERSIGHT TO SHUT YOUR PUNK ASS DOWN LIKE IN ’76.

ASHYO

YES, YES. TO NEIL-SAN YOU LISTEN. THE EWOKS. REMEMBER YOUR FAILURE AT THE EWOKS!

LUKE–AS

BUT I’VE LEARNED SO MUCH NOT DOING ANY FILMS IN THE TEN YEARS SINCE THEN. MASTER ASHYO, I PROMISE TO RETURN AND MAKE A VIETNAM MOVIE. YOU HAVE MY AGENT’S NUMBER.

NEIL-SAN

IT IS YOU AND YOUR PROPERTIES THE TOY AND GAME MANUFACTURES WANT. THAT IS WHY YOUR EX-WIFE TOOK YOU FOR EVERYTHING FROM THE FIRST FILMS.

LUKE–AS

AND THAT IS WHY I HAVE TO START PRINCIPAL PHOTOGRAPHY.

NEIL-SAN

BITCH, I DON’T WANT TO LOSE YOU TO THE TRADE RAGS THE WAY I LOST COPPOLA.

LUKE–AS

YOU WON’T.

ASHYO

STOPPED THEY MUST BE; ON THIS ALL DEPENDS. ONLY A FULLY TRAINED DIRECTOR, WHO HAS MADE MORE THAN THREE MOVIES, TWO OF THEM OF MARGINAL QUALITY, AND NONE OF THEM THE BEST OF THE SERIES, WILL CONQUER THE SOPHOMORE SLUMP. IF YOU END YOUR DUES PAYMENTS NOW — IF YOU CHOOSE THE QUICK AND EASY PATH AS SPIELBERG DID — YOU WILL BECOME AN AGENT OF COMMERCIAL NONSENSE.

NEIL-SAN

SIT THE FUCK DOWN TILL YOU CAN WRITE A COHERENT TREATMENT WITHOUT ANY MICROBES OR RACIAL STEREOTYPES FOR ALIENS, SO-CAL.

LUKE–AS

AND SACRIFICE THE PREQUELS?

ASHYO

IF YOU HONOR THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY, YES!
