Apologies in advance...

This is my real wife.
This is my fantasy.
Interracial sex acts:
An escape from reality -
Open my eyes
Look away from the pies and see -
Jared with my wife, in an dom-sub scenario -
Easy come! Easy go!
Did she just shout "Geronimo!"?
Anywhere his wang goes doesn't really matter to me.
To me.... [more]

The interesting thing is that 150 years ago, the US got the bright idea that all of these empty spaces needed to be cleared of their native inhabitants to make way for "Settlers" from the east coast and europe to come in. Guess what? The idea has been a failure. Instead of going through these embarassing gymnastics to convince people to move to ND, the state should just "close up shop." Evacuate the last holdouts in the ghost towns, hand over the land titles of these outer... [more]

I saw tkchrist once. I was in one of the glitzy casinos in Vegas. It was about three in the morning, when only the drunks, the dreamers and the destitute are still up and dancing with the one-armed bandit. I don't care to say which category I fell into at the time, but I will say I've never been much for REM sleep.

My eyes were starting to blur, but I kept pumping coins into the machines and praying for Lady Luck to smile down on this weary wayward supplicant. I had... [more]

Every time I respond in a comment, it seems like I'm the last person. No one ever responds back.

YOU ARE NOT A UNIQUE SNOWFLAKE, HOLMES. The dog never says anything back when I talk to her and yet I continue to talk to her rather than go get a new dog every time one fails to respond to my trenchant observations with a golf clap and a "Well played, sir!"

Echoing what bardic said, we should all look at this story from a historical perspective. People like Bush do not "go down". He is from one of those families that is so intertwined with the entrenched businesses and political interests in this country that it simply isn't possible to take him down without suffering some consequence from from his family.

The Bush dynasty, like the Kennedys and other "royal" American families, transcend riches and the... [more]

User 50000 was Tom Cruise's retarded fused teeth autistic hedgehog baby, but Tom, upon seeing its cruelly disfigured fused autistic hedgehog face, shouted "You're glib!" and had it removed on threat of lawsuit. Then he went and bought Suri from a Mongolian cattle rancher for $650, but she is too young to post on Metafilter.

It's all about a culture of hate. And hate, naked hate, will bring the wrath of God down upon those that hate.

And faggots too, apparently.

I love a world where being against torture and the invasion of other sovereign nations is hate. Being pro-torture and pro-kidnapping of foreigners abroad to be delivered to torturers is also equal to being kind and compassionate.

I love a world where being outraged... [more]

I've been working on a little theory about why American media culture has become so obsessed with Schadenfreude of late. From the whole Anna Nicole Smith fiasco, to Britney Spears to that poor astronaut woman who lost her shit, it seems like the news and entertainment media are primed to jump all over the latest public meltdown and to churn it into Comedy Gold™ for a couple news cycles. You can look at it as a gradual devolution that got started around the time of the national obsession with O.... [more]

How much pussy has your average woman bagged, anyway?

The average woman, between the ages of 18 to 30, has bagged 23 cats and 152 kittens. 82% of all bagged felines are drowned by women who have en-bagged them, while the remaining 18% were reportedly sold to gypsies for medical research. Therefore, it is safe to assume that that the average woman can securely opine on the subject of bagged pussy, except online, where it might hurt someone's feelings.

I don't get it.

I'll tell you right now, though, that men should never take dating advice from women. How much pussy has your average woman bagged, anyway? The answer is a great deal, but it was all while drunk and in college. Their skills are rusty, though, so take your advice from dudes who are still in the game. They obviously know how to get laid, while a female dating adviser might easily just be blowing hot air, for all we know.

I don't doubt that he takes his Christianity seriously, but I think he also made a very provocative (and good) strategic move when he joined the UCC.

OK, let's be clear about something: Obama is a member of Trinity United Church of Christ first, the UCC second. And this is a very important distinction, because again, the UCC is congregational in structure.

TUCC has 8,000 members and is very Afro-centric. Jeremiah Wright is... [more]

Being haunted by something until the day you die can mean a lot of things, Jatayu das. Some might be frivolous, like being reminded that you once stole a candy bar every time you see a Snickers ad. Sometimes the haunt is proportional: a sniper sees every face he's ever targeted, a bomb developer sees every child his bomb ever burnt, a man who deprived other men of sleep in a torture routine deprives himself of sleep in turn. The relationship between torturer and tortured goes far beyond power... [more]

We, as a community, need to come together and get serious about finding a solution to nerd-on-nerd crime.

Actually, thanks most of all for the via-- I probably haven't seen The Adventures of Mark Twain in a couple of decades, but that sequence had me absolutely awestruck as a rugrat. Still creepy and beautiful.

It's also the film that introduced me to the word "superfluous", for what it's worth.

Hey how come my first comment got deleted along with Bardic's simultaneous response? Neither post was particularly snarky. WTF?

In Jack Vance's Emphyrio, the Welfare Agency kept track of the criminal history of the noncupatory by recording each infraction a citizen committed as a magnetic charge applied to a steel rod with the citizen's name and number upon it. With a sufficent charge, the rod would fly up... [more]

Well, I read all the posts present. It was unpleasant to read because I find her to be a very unsympathetic narrator. I'm very ambivalent about that.

One of the things that I had a lot of trouble processing when I worked in rape crisis many years ago was that while it was the case that I think the majority of women in our society have been the victims of some sort of sexual violence, there's a minority of women who have been assaulted many,...

And when he does surface, it's later, as Christ,

no, this is misleading.

you say "Tanakh", which is of course the Jewish term for the Jewish form of what Christians call the "Old Testament", but Tanakh and Old Testament have a radically different structure, and this is a vital distinction esp. since you're mixing "Christ" into it.

Americo-Israeli policy in the Middle East was always rather messed up; this Administration was only mucked things up further and much more deeply.

One good example is the Americo-Israeli policy toward Iran and its aim to develop nuclear energy. Going after Iran now is just lunatic, because, in order to keep an Americo-Israeli invasion at bay, it is in their (Iran) interest to de-stabilize Iraq further [Seymour Hersh has written an illuminating piece in the New Yorker,...

Meanwhile, Disney continues to withhold the names of all the children who mysteriously disappeared from DisneyWorld since 1989. It's amazing how a big pile of money can make officials and even parents 'forget' about a missing child. Sure, sure, they all sit you down on the couch and explain to you that you never had a brother, but if that's the case, why did I have a bunkbed, Mom? And who was the "Jeff" that signed all those birthday cards to me in a sloppy seven-year old crayon scrawl?... [more]

I saw when reading this that some would immediately latch onto his being supported through welfare, through taxpayer funds. And to that I say: how much did your humanity cost for you to trade it so easily? This man's life cost you a few dollars, maybe, but in exchange we recieved this scholar and thinker. Humanity and America is better off with your parsimony thwarted, with your spiteful selfishness denied and with our laws broken.
Not all immigrants will be like this man, though... [more]
