star signs
mad random thought that i had walking along the beach today:
you know how birds all lay and hatch their eggs in season, all at the same time? Then it kinda follows they all must have the same astrological star-sign, they would have different rising signs which would explain minor differences in character but at heart they'll be your basic Aries (is it?)
Seagull astrologers must have it sooooooo easy.

Rupture the rapture
I’ve had this craaaaaazy idea. You should know by now that (aside from rigging the voting with their electronic voting booths) a sizeable swing to Bush’s recent election victory was brought about by the neo-conservatives appealing to those wacky Christian fundamentalists. A large part of whose creed is this thing they call ‘the rapture’ - the belief that we are about to enter the’ end times’ (apparently they can’t spell let alone even pronounce ‘apocalypse‘) any day now. On that day all those true believers will fly off or be beamed up or something up to heaven. Leaving all us non-believers (the sinners) behind to suffer immeasurable torments and tortures while the world falls apart.
My idea is this - that everyone who doesn’t believe this childish fantasy nonsense - should all together as one on the one set date - start totally ignoring everyone they know to be a Christian fundamentalist.
“Have you seen the ranting Mr. Jones lately?’ ‘No’ ‘He must have been raptured away’ ‘Really? Lucky him’. Mr Jones would be going: ‘Hello - standing right here!’ By flatly and totally ignoring their existence, and not serving them in shops or restaurants or wherever for anything. Can you imagine what a head-fuck it would be for them. ‘Oh I’m supposed to be in Heaven? Why aren’t I in Heaven? Am I going to have to stay here and watch all these non-believers suffer the trails and tribulations of the End days. That’s not nice. I thought we’d get to ignore them while we‘re whooping it up singing ‘Hallelujah and prise be 24/7. Oooh I am feeling a bit hungry. But I can’t steal any food because I’m a good Christian and that would be a sin and I won't get into Heaven then.’
But more importantly maybe they should do this during an election and thus not count any of their votes. That would start to even things out a bit.

spam subject lines
Genuine spam subject lines that just didn’t work:

Re: a new bird with spring breastwork
Maybe I found that anthology
Why are you always offline confide
Sorry I was busy with a friend eaten
Maybe I found that ecstasy
-------------------------------------------
and I recieved this little story today:
"They wanted to know
what the hell was going
on—who was I? And
what had I done to the sky?
Too late almost to save
it, I took whiteout
to the street (the last
bottle on the shelf
at the all-night mini
mart on that same block),
dimmed the stars
and ushered back to bed
the little man and his grumbling
wife."
I wonder where it's from.

Please - think of the kittens
Please feel free to copy and send this graphic to anyone who's a flagrant heartless kitten-killer.
At the time of writing 83 kittens where killed here alone. This has got to stop people!
Anyway iPods look positively dreary compared to this gorgeous piece of kit. [via Gizmodo.] The iPod is bland retro 70s white plastic naffness -while this is BladeRunner/Alien/Matrix 80s cyberpunk. Much cooler in my book.

---Brains---
After watching 'Night of the Living Dead' and "The Return of the Living Dead" again on TeeVee recently I had the notion of getting around to revisiting my Zombie Drag Queen idea. But after a bit of picture research - I quickly realised I needn't bother.
I have to say, except as a form of living history, I don't really understand the point or appeal of the traditional drag act. I don't understand the miming, the need to berate and insult the audience, or why the offensive 'blue' Bernard Manning style jokes, the over-the-top make-up and wigs, the parodying of women's fashions of yesteryear, nor the out and out misogyny. I also resent the unspoken implication that all gay men are somehow less than 'real men' (whatever that means) and are therefore closer to being women. (How tediously binary.) To me all this together makes for a less than appealing package, so just why is it supposed to be all so hilariously funny?
There are exceptions to this of course - over the years I've liked Lily Savage, Regina Fong, Dame Edna Everage, and Divine but then these people were/are much more character actors than drag acts and there was also David Dale who as a reaction against the old school did a 'punkier' far more edgier take of the whole thing.

I can't stand human babies myself - but people will insist on popping them out, so they may at least make the horrible creatures entertaining...
But to humiliate animals? -Not on.

"I wish I had chicken balls though."
David Archontic
Tonight I am very much *not* watching the Eurovision Thing contest. It's just another one of the missing 'way of the gay' chromosones I simply do not possess. The last one I ever saw was when I was a teeny tiny child when Abba won with 'Waterloo'. That was enough.
Instead I'm watching about comic books on the Biography channel. Much much more my cup of tea.

yoghurt drink makes you hyper?
They're still showing it after all these months so I have to say... everytime they show that 'Actimel' advert on TV the one were the woman goes up to complain she's been drinking it for a week and doesn't feel any different... I'm thinking there's NO way in hell I'd drink that stuff. Why not? Because to me they're as good as saying as soon as you buy any -the 'Actimel' company will be watching and recording your every last movement. Obtaining CCTV footage of you -yourself going about your everyday business even at work -and by the look of it being hyper manic for some reason. All incase you try to get your money back, and they've even got their own 'heavies' to call on if they don't like your face...
It looks like Bg Brother has nothing on Actimel.

Um. It sounds like the people responsible for Channel 4's program ideas have been severely sleep deprived themselves for a considerable number of years now.
I know I'm well beyond tired of unutterable shite like this being peddled as entertainment.
