| "E-tard" defined |
| 10.25.05 (2:06 am) [edit] |
|
Since entering the world of blogging, I have become more and more interested in the income earning possibilities of the internet. So, I regularly search for money-making sites that aren't a complete crock. It was during one of these searches that I found this site. I don't know if you can actually make a buck from it. But I did think it was pretty funny. It just goes to show that being a capo doesn't necessarily mean that you have to lose your sense of humour. "E-tard". I don't know if the site's owner coined the phrase but it's a beauty. (The abbreviated "tard" is a blogger favourite, but I think this is superior.) With due deference to its creator I'd like to give it a wider definition; one that includes a political dimension: E-tard: Any simple-minded leftist who uses the internet to express himself. (This guy is a perfect example.) |

| Self fulfilling prophecy? |
| 10.20.05 (12:57 am) [edit] |
|
An Indian astrologer has predicted his own death! Considering that seeing into the future is a big part of his gig, he's put a helluva lot of pressure on himself. And he's now in a particularly nasty "Catch 22". If he doesn't cark, he'll be denounced as a charlatain, and may never work again. If he does, he'll have the (retrospective) respect of the entire village, but will suffer an even worse outcome employment-wise! The local constabulary has sussed that this is a very depressing situation, and acted accordingly, putting him on a kind of "suicide watch". |

| Brosnan Pierced off! |
| 10.17.05 (6:51 pm) [edit] |
|
I doubt that the former James Bond Pierce Brosnan will be fronting at your local soup kitchen any time soon, but I do kind of feel sorry for him now that he's lost the gig. Did a pretty good job, I reckon. Wonder if he's going to try and win it back? If he does, he'll have to invest in some peroxide. Bond's new-found blondness seems like it will be his defining characteri stic from now on. |

| Blond ... James Bond |
| 10.14.05 (5:27 pm) [edit] |
|
There's all this talk about how the new James Bond (Daniel Craig) is a blond. The fact that so many news outlets have featured this purely physical aspect shows how simplistic the character is. Actually, Bond is is a kind of non-character; a one-dimensional male (and female) fantasy. He's a powerful, emotionally inert (repressed?) and brutal male -- definitely no SNAG. He has money, loves gambling, wears a suit. Because of this the blokes want to be like him and the chicks want to shag him. The character's appeal has never wavered. He's as popular as ever. If he wasn't, the whole business (and James Bond [i]is[/i] a business) would have gone belly-up ages ago. This is another small (but not insignificant) illustration of how little men and women have [i]really[/i] changed these last few decades -- despite all the politically correct yammering to the contrary. |

| Eminem to retire? |
| 10.11.05 (5:54 pm) [edit] |
|
As I hurtle towards codgerdom I keep noticing just how oversaturated we are with celebrity and showbiz. There are more movies, more hit songs, more stars, more shows than ever. And they all seem to whizz past at an ever-increasing pace. That line of Andy Warhol's about everyone being famous for fiteen minutes seems close to becoming true. Also, those who are truly famous seem to have far shorter careers -- perhaps because of the intenstity of it all. Eminem is an example of this. There is speculation that he'll retire soon, yet he's still just a pup! |

| Typical stupid reptiles |
| 10.05.05 (5:50 pm) [edit] |
|
Why anyone would think we have something to learn from nature is beyond me. Here is an example of the kind of the idiotic behaviour that regularly goes on in forests and swamps: One hungry reptile bit off more than he could chew and carked violently as a result. (Full story is here.) Best thing we can do is turn these dumb creatures into shoes and handbags as soon as possible! |

| Paris and Paris |
| 10.04.05 (1:08 am) [edit] |
|
Seems that Paris Hilton (airhead heiress) has just broken up with her boyfriend and namesake Paris Latsis (airhead heir). I didn't even know they were together. I am so out of the loop! Really, I must do something about that ... Still, it does make you wonder why the two Parises hooked up in the first place. I reckon it was a union resulting from their mutual need to meet a cognitive challenge. (Remember, two airheads are better See, for each of them, the instinct was to yell their own name during sex. Doing the deed with someone who had the same name removed the stress of trying to remember another. So they were an item for a while until they finally figured out that they weren't remotely attracted to each other. |
