Moasaic . . . Bush . . . War

On a much more serious note thant the Ashcroft image posted earlier this month, Photo Mat gives us a much more powerful image . . . Moving Image . . . a mosaic portrait of President Bush composed of photographs of soldiers killed in Iraq. He has the image archived in various sizes, the largest…

Cuddle Party?

Just when you thought you’d seen everything, along comes the . . . cuddle party. This is not some new swingers party deal . . . rather it’s a bit like swinging for folks who don’t want to have sex with each other but instead crave human contact. It’s all consensual and there is a…

Gaiman on Princess Mononoke

At the The Script Analyst Archive, Neil Gaiman discusses the process he went through in adapting the wonderful Miyazaki film Princess Mononoke for British and American audiences. Unlike many such projects, he didn’t just translate the piece (well, someone else did the actual translations), he changed the story and direction to fit Western sensibilities. It…

Learnin’ Something New Everyday . . . Ron Jeremy

I was doing some random web hopping and a link from a discussion of the Neverwhere film project brought me to an online biography and mainstream filmography of porncomdian Ron Jeremy. I had no idea that Jeremy had a graduate degree (MA) and was working as a special education instructor when he first broke into…

Shokushu High School

This site is definately not work safe. Shokushu High School is one of the many hentai sites out there with graphic stories and images depicting Japanese high school girls being sexually abused by giant monster tentacles. Now, here’s the interesting part . . . as you navigate through the school there are classrooms with lectures…

Question for Subscribers

Here’s a quick question for the folks who subscribe to Life of Brian. . . do you prefer to receive daily notices as they are currently sent (with the first one hundred or so words of a post) or with the complete text but no graphics?

Whatever happened to Dungeons and Dragons?

The BBC news magazine has a nice enough article on the thirtieth anniversary of D&D . . . Whatever happened to Dungeons and Dragons? Unlike most popular press looks at the roleplaying game industry, this one is actually pretty fair-handed. I started playing back in 1978 with a bunch of buddies from high school. I…

Crazy Stalker Chick

What happens when you help a stranded stranger get gas for her car? Crazy Stalker Chick Recordings. Invasion of privacy, probably. In need of some help, definately. While posting stalker recordings to the internet is not the first best option, it is always a possibility in today’s age. So, if you have a penchant for…

Fashion Police

Louisiana is considering adopting a law that will ban low-rider clothing or the wearing of jeans and the like in such a way to expose one’s underwear or partial backside. While I agree that baggy pants dropping past the hips with underwear up to one’s belly is a silly fashion statement and does look ridiculous,…

Eggs, Eggs, Everywhere

On Apr 11, 2004, Lorraine and Kaye went on a trip to the Golden Egg Museum and Ranch in Hsinchu with Kaye’s friend Gareth (with his father, Michael) and our next door neighbors Shen-Shen, Pipi, and Dandan (and their parents). They had a wonderful day . . . feeding the ostriches, picking and coloring eggs,…

Thus Sayeth the Lord

Noah at Ugly Expat reposts a nice list of items that demonstrate that one really shouldn’t rely too heavily upon Bible quotes when discussing issues of modern morality as those who stick to a literatl interpretation of the Bible are more than likely to run into sticky waters very quickly. While your faith and your…

Dragons in Banchiau

We went to Banchiau last night for supper and had dinner at Tasty. As always, Kaye wanted to draw but this time – as often is the case – we forgot to bring some paper. So, as she often does, Kaye drew on the paper table cloth. She did a rather large piece showing scale…

Office Hijinx

These are silly and stupid and probably cruel but perhaps just a tad funny the better way to waste your day . . . don’t do any of this as it’s stupid and cruel, but the read is worth a laugh or three.
