There is an old story from the Navajo Reservation about one night a Navajo man who was hitch hiking through the part of the Reservation that's in Arizona. He sees a car slowly pull up and he gets in. When the car starts to move again he turns to thank the driver to find the driver seat was empty.
The car made its way for the curve, the man thought that the car was going to go over it and he was going to die. He was praying then a hand came through the window and turned the car. The man was truly terrified now. He realizes the car was under the possession of an anti'i'h, or a witch in the Navajo language.
He watched as the car moved in such a manner through three more curves, each time a hand came through the window and turned the wheel. After that the man regained his wits and jumped from the car and ran all the way to Sanders, AZ, which is border town on the reservation. He goes into a bar and tells the bartender to give him a double scotch. Which the bartender does and he starts telling the patrons what he saw. The patrons pretty much write him off till they realize he's sober. the all get quiet as he starts to cry.
In the bar walk two old Navajo men one says to the other "There he is, there's the asshole who got in the car while we were pushing it." |

My pirate name is:
Bloody Jack Bonney
Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!

Well, I guess the good news for Michael Jackson is that his reputation can be tarnished no further. unfortunately this is a side effect of being dead. I guess what we should do is not remember him for the Victorian Freak Show he became, and instead focus on his music, and his talent

| H.S. Precision. |
[May. 19th, 2009|10:04 pm] |
Ooooooh My God!
That's what I said when I saw H.S. Precision's new slogan. before I show it to y'all I'll give you a bit of background. Last year H.S. Precision on their catalog had an endorsement from Lon Horiuchi. For those not in the know here, Lon Horiuchi is the F.B.I. sniper who was present at both Ruby ridge, where he shot Randy Weaver's wife in cold blood, but he was also involved in the Waco incident where the reports are conflicting if he fired any shots, since according to the ATF his rifle was rebarreled after that spectacular cluster fucking.
More on why people in the pro-second amendment community have a strong dislike can be seen here.
The Joke was that H.S. Precision Should change their motto to "H.S. Precision: Women and Children First."
Here's what they went with instead
H/T to Stingray. |

Today something happened that I never thought would happen. There was a program on the Metro sports channel that normally I wouldn't be caught dead watching and that was Metro Sports. If I gave a damned about high school football, and I don't (My school's team stunk on ice), I'd go to one of the High Schools and watch the game.
But the program was on Professional Wrestling in Kansas City. Kansas City, from the 1950's till the 1980's had Central States Wrestling. Some big names wrestled in Kansas City, and if you're any level of wrestling history geek would recognize the names such as Killer Kowalski, Bob Orton, Lou Thez, Harley Race, Dusty Rhodes, Rufus R. Jones, D.I. Bob Slaughter (Sergeant Slaughter), Marty Janetty, Shawn Michaels, and those are the ones I can name that anyone aside from people in Kansas City would know.
The fact my dad was watching this show, the man who whenever he came into the basement when I was watching pro-wrestling would bitch moan and insult the show till I changed the channel, just for him to walk back upstairs, was watching a program on the history of professional wrestling in Kansas City. And I'll be son-of-a-bitched if he wasn't getting a little misty-eyed watching the program.
Before Vince McMahon and the World Wrestling Federation (And I will call it that to my dying day), my dad was a fan of professional wrestling. He would tell me he knew it was fake, he told me everyone did, but they loved it because the men in that ring were true athletes. And I had to think on it, and I started to realize something. This is why I don't watch professional wrestling as much as I used to except for reruns of the American Wrestling Association.
It might be a 23 year old rerun, but it is still unpredictable and fun to watch. The WWF started to get predictable sometime after Vince won the "Monday Night Wars". At that point he didn't two tugs of a dead dogs cock over being innovative. He held the monopoly and in most cases if someone wanted pro-wrestling Vince was the only game in town unless they wanted to go watch some local wrestling (Like Harley Race's World League Wrestling in this part of the world); they were left with what Vince would give them. It's all so predictable. Sure you have TNA, but it's just basically the WWF with a funny shaped ring. It all had just gotten so monotonous.
But as we sat there watching this documentary he would talk about the wrestler's he liked, the gimmicks he hated. It was a new and unusual moment for me. And likely one I'll remember for a long, long time. |

| Simon Says. |
[Mar. 27th, 2009|02:59 pm] |
Who We AreWe are Simon Jester.
We are not anarchists.
We are not Far-Right or Far-Left. We are the seventy percent in the middle.
We are not Capital “L” libertarians, although we do have sympathies with their platform.
We are neither bitter clingers nor conspiracy nuts.
What we are is a group of folks that think we see liberty and freedom eroding in our beloved United States. We see the policies and agendas of the hirelings in Washington D.C. heading toward an abbreviation if not outright abrogation of the Bill of Rights.
We think that the Federal government is grasping to consolidate power using the current crisis, since as Rahm Emmanuel said, it’s a terrible thing to waste. We think the Federal government, not just this administration, is more interested in self-serving personal, political, and party power than it is in actually doing its best to do the least.
This President didn’t make it this way. It has been heading along this path since Woodrow Wilson held political prisoners and FDR held four terms as president; since Johnson’s Great Society and Nixon took us off the gold standard; since Bush Sr. lied about no new taxes, Clinton desecrated the Oval Office, Bush Jr. rammed through the Patriot Act, and Obama wanted every high school kid to ‘volunteer.’
For almost a hundred years, our country has been heading towards becoming a Socialist, centrally planned, Nanny State where the Federal Government tells it citizens how to conduct business, what they could grow in their own gardens or on their own farms, and now even how much a private citizen is allowed to earn before punitive and illegal taxation takes it away. Now is the time to make it stop. . And the choir sang "Ooo-rah" The Constitution of the United States of America tells us how our government is supposed to operate. It tells us what powers they have been lent by its citizens. It even delineates what powers each branch of government is supposed to have. Our Federal Government, all three branches, has over-reached. Continually.
The Declaration of Independence told King George what we felt about the way he was treating the Thirteen Colonies. It also told the world what we as Americans believed were natural truths about how government should work, with the consent of the governed. It amazes us how many of the things the Colonies begged King George to address have raised their ugly heads in the present day. We are taxed without our consent for government programs we don’t want. We are told that our natural resources are not ours to do with what we would. We are even told that our property can be confiscated if the government thinks it can get a bigger tax base from a different owner. Our elections are swayed by huge amounts of dollars and the willing collaboration of the old media giants. More than that, our elections are influenced by unconstitutional law such as McCain-Feingold, communist groups such as ACORN signing up 200,000 illegal voters in Ohio, and terrorist groups like the Black Panthers staking our polling places such as in Philadelphia. And we, the legitimate voters of this country are forced to accept the results.
Our voice has been ignored, even to the point of telling the citizens of a state that a duly enacted and overwhelmingly voter-approved constitutional amendment would not be allowed to stand due to political correctness.
Our representatives have listened to us on occasion however; only to be overturned by a penstroke from the Executive Branch, like when we said we didn’t like the idea of bailing out the auto industry.
Our legislature has pretended to listen to us about our need to protect our country’s borders, but then come back and tried to tell us that they have changed their minds. All the while trying to curry favor to their own districts with pork projects.
We flood D.C. with calls and letters and emails demanding that the administration not burden our grandchildren with huge government debt that will necessitate huge tax increases, but are told that our thoughts on the matter have no bearing because some things are just too big to fail; only to hear the same legislators come back a few months later and demand punitive taxes on those companies it gave money to against our wishes.
The current administration has appointed all of these extra-constitutional “Czars” to oversee what they view as problems in our country and in our world, including an avowed Communist.
This administration, as well as far too many legislators, clings to a philosophy of man-made global warming that is far from settled science and has decided that “Cap and Trade”, regardless of the huge burden that will place on the consumers, is necessary to limit carbon emissions. The fact that it has been tried in Europe and FAILED to limit carbon emissions doesn’t matter because this program will generate huge tax dollars for the government while at the same time penalizing the consumers of energy in the form of higher energy bills.
Another thing that has failed in Europe and elsewhere is the idea of universal health care. Yet still our government is racing headlong towards rationed medical procedures, diagnostics, medicines, and preventive care because it is yet another way to control the population. It is very hard to tell the government “No” when you or your spouse, or your child, depend upon the government owned and run kidney machine, insulin shots, or cancer treatments.
And now our Federal government has asked for more power. It isn’t even trying to hide it anymore. They want the power to regulate to the point of confiscation the administration of every business in the United States, just for our own financial safety or course. They want to regulate our salaries and compensation. They want to bankrupt the coal industry, which provides eighty (80 !!) percent of all the power in this country. They don’t want us to be able to drill for oil or natural gas. But at the same time they don’t want to allow the transmission of power from wind farms or solar farms across the countryside because they say it will affect the natural beauty of the desert or they don’t want their view cluttered out past Martha’s Vineyard. They want control of the means of production, the type of crops we grow, and the structure and location of the buildings in which we live. And, despite their protestation to the contrary, they want to disarm us. Too much has slipped out about that for them to be able to deny it any more.
And yes, we repeat, they now are asking for more power. This isn’t just theft, it is a bloody strong-arm robbery with a knife in your ribs.
Now, here is where Simon Jester comes in.
This whole thing isn’t about the Democrats or the Republicans, because they are both taking us to the same place and they aren’t afraid of us anymore. It is about our Constitutional form of government. The Rights were there before the words were written, for they are inherent in all people. They don’t come from government; government, no matter how hard it tries, cannot dissolve them. Now, here we the people are, having all these Tea Parties, trying to show our government that we, the seventy percent or so of the country who is right smack dab in the middle trying to raise our families and give our children better lives than we had, are tired of this grab for power. These Tea Parties, where no one actually throws anything in the harbor, are getting hardly any coverage from the press. In fact, the TWO counter protestors at the March Tea Party in Orlando got as much or more local coverage than the under-reported thousands who attended the rally. So, short of actually committing acts of vandalism and felonious assault, how are we going to get noticed?
Simon Jester. A symbol, since “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress” by Robert A. Heinlein was published in 1966, of dissent against authority. Let the press, and the government, and your neighbors know that you are paying attention to what the Federal government is trying to do. Let someone ask you what that little devil underneath the word “Citizen” across your chest means and then explain it to them. Explain to the one pool reporter who shows up at the next Tea Party that you and Simon have your eyes open and are watching as the government tries to control your life. Explain to your pastor, or your waitress, or your barista at Starbucks, that our government is power hungry and that you and others like you are trying to be heard.
We are Simon Jester. So are they.
And so are you.
Make no mistake, the apologists in the media that are performing acts of Ho Yay on the Obama administration hear the wolves at the door, angry wolves that stand on their hind legs and demand to know "Who's responsible for this idiocy." But they chose to ignore it for now safe under the belief that the wolves will not bite, so they continue to kiss the ring of Obama, and tell us to shut up and pull the wagon. There are some in the financial district that want to hand Obama their bit of rope and say "You pull it." and go somewhere that won't beat them for having the nerve to make more than a fry cook. And the EU is telling Obama than his course of action will not work. They will be ignored, for Obama believes that he can do no wrong. He has bought his own press and thinks himself a messiah, and his follower act like a cult, willingly sacrificing the dark open woods of individualism, for the heavy chains of state control of their lives, and in that they will be only partially happy. They will not be truly happy till they force us to live in that manner with them, even if we are miserable

So There I was going thoigh the back log of the Blogonomicon. when I came across a link for this. Yes for $85.00 American you can take a home study course in crypto zoology.
Yes that's right for less than the cost of a great night out on the town (dinner, a show, and a motel room) you too can claim to be an expert when it comes to hunting Bigfoot.
Which is my real big problem with it. Crypto zoology has been overrun with people hunting Bigfoot (or yeti, skunk apes, or whatever else the history channel is calling it this week for Monster Quest). Instead of say when you find a raptor like say, a, Harpy Eagle in Nebraska, and you try and find out how in the holy Hell a bird that is native to South America would up in the Great Plains. Instead of looking for Gold (or bigfoot) where there is none.
But if hunting Nessie isn't your thing, you can also become a Paranormal Investigator, a UFO hunter , or you can be like the brains behind the Ghostbusters, Dr. Venkman and become a Parapsychologist
Still not what you're looking for? Perhaps something a little more Harry Potter and that still isn't to your liking you can hunt through several other offered courses here at http://www.flamelcollege.org/index.html
Validity and usefulness of these degrees is not guaranteed in so far as I know, and hell, it's your money. I would recommend these as perhaps a nice conversational piece. I know if I had the money and the time I would. |
