Tubular Time

feeds@yuku.com (Daystar) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 10:41:31 GMT

If I cut out the bullshit, wise ass and completly stupid I have almost no TV to watch or posts to respond to.

What in the world am I going to do with all of that time? Take up hand gliding?

Sisters Of The Unshorn Apocalypse

Now, is that Douglas Adams or Berkely Breathed.

I think it is Breathed. Yes. It is. Nevermind, I have already figured it out. Don't forget that the new Bloom County collective works is being published anew even as we speak. You know, Breathed won the Pulitzer - or was it the Nobel.

Good stuff.

Bursting with pride

Currently overhearing my teenage son explaining the quantum model of the atom over the phone to help a friend do their homework!

Something in my personal life is bothering me

feeds@yuku.com (Xenolan) — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 15:13:03 GMT

Hi everyone... this is an unusual post for me, in that I'm not preaching or engaging in debate. This time, I'm seeking advice.

I'll begin by giving the relevant details, and then the situation at hand.

My wife and I have one child. She is eight. We do not attend church (big surprise to everyone here, I know) and while my wife is not the staunch atheist I am, she is equally opposed to the church and its methods. She certainly does not believe in the literal...

Tyson

feeds@yuku.com (Daystar) — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 19:49:28 GMT

I have never liked, nor understood, the art of boxing. Wouldn't comprehend the artistry of pugilism. The discipline . . . still don't, I suppose, but I seen a promo for the movie Tyson and had heard the buzz coming from Cannes. I am pretty well aware of what fame and fortune can do to a person, and I am increasingly aware of the lack of integrity of the dreaded mainstream media. How they fuck with our primitive lust as if it were perception. The things we want to see, like the...

Douglas Adams On The Internet

feeds@yuku.com (Daystar) — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 21:54:08 GMT

Perhaps this is old news to some of you, but Adams wrote some articles that appear on his website which I had never read though I have his site linked to from mine. I couldn't sleep and so was reading some of it, I found the following on his article on the Internet which I thought was funny because it is so true.

"I suppose earlier generations had to sit through all this huffing and puffing with the invention of television, the phone, cinema, radio, the car, the bicycle,...

A Story In Six Words.

feeds@yuku.com (Daystar) — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 18:17:06 GMT

I took a skeptic survey recently asking that ye should smite a story upon my unworthy crown in only the six words.

It was a tie.

And Ernest Hemingway who said.

The neighbour's busty teenage jailbait daughter is running around in the car park out the front of my house as I'm in the kitchen washing up. I can't help looking out of the window was what is just about staying in her low-cut top is bouncing around and she keeps bending over. For crying out loud, I'm only human. It shouldn't be allowed. I think I'm going to have to go and have a cold shower.

What is "Kudos"?

feeds@yuku.com (twillight) — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 01:21:52 GMT

Here in the main forum there are numbers to show how many topics and posts are in them - and kudos. What are those? I can't figure it out.

The Movie(s) that changed my life...

feeds@yuku.com (Keith and Company) — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 08:28:52 GMT

Reading a book about interviews with 120 or so celebrities, and the movie or movies they found to be influential. It's interesting to see some that keep coming up over and over, especially to see how different people got different things out of them.

For me, a big eye-opener was 2001: Space Odyssey. I read the book a long, long time ago. I got to see the movie when it was finally on TV. I got to stay up well after bedtime to see it. I loved it. I'm not entirely sure i...

Salem, Massachusetts

feeds@yuku.com (Keith and Company) — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 07:50:44 GMT

Just spent a week's vacation there.
It's a fun place. Interesting city, lots to do.
My advice? Visit Boston, spend a day in Salem.

There's nothing wrong with the witch trials, per se. And i think a lot of people here might be interested in some of the history, the settings, the differences.

But the witch hysteria here was only a brief time, historically speaking. So by the time you've done the witch dungeon, the witch trials, the witch house,...

Private Conversations: Jeff

feeds@yuku.com (Daystar) — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 20:11:31 GMT

When I read posts here I have this, what I think is unusual curiosity - I read what you say and think about it and tryu and understand where you are all coming from. I want to get to know the why of it, if you don't mind.

This is the first of a series on each of you. I picked Jeff first because he just posted something which I responded to which I thought was odd.

I don't need to get to know you on a personal level but just why.

You are from Canada. Not...

Where does your screen name come from?

feeds@yuku.com (Xenolan) — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 06:32:53 GMT

Hey everyone - where did you all get your screen name? We have some interesting names on this board, and I am curious as to where we all came up with them. Presumably, some of them mean something.

For myself... I wanted something with the prefix "Xeno" because I like the way it looks and sounds, and the fact that it means "strange". I often personally feel like a Stranger in a Strange Land, so to speak... as if I don't really fit in most situations. So,...

Hillary Clinton?

feeds@yuku.com (DavidBenAriel) — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 11:48:56 GMT

Zionist Organization of America president Mort Klein has difficulty remembering that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is the same woman who, as New York's junior US senator, was a vocal supporter of Israel and an enthusiastic adherent of the principle that an undivided Jerusalem would remain the capital of the Jewish state.He is convinced that in her current position, Mrs. Clinton is now "deaf" to the words, sentiments, and policies that she espoused in the US Senate from...

Is White House Press Secretary Gibbs a smart man?

I hate the news

feeds@yuku.com (Yark Hutprancer) — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 20:29:41 GMT

Why doesn't the news media recognize, morally, that the custody of Michael Jackson's children and the contents of his will are no one's business but the people involved? Report on his death. Report on any public memorial. Fucking leave the family business alone. IT IS NO ONE'S BUSINESS BUT THE FAMILY'S. And get this fucking Michael Jackson shit off my TV.

I have never felt more powerless.
