"Noble beasts"

First, some things that make me sad. I went to High Park yesterday with Rachel and Leeta. There's a small park there, with a few animals. It breaks my heart to see animals in small fenced pens, but there were two that really upset me:


This is a Yak. The Dalai Lama mentioned in his autobiography that as the yak metabolism is evolved for high altitudes, when you take them below 10,000 feet their lifespan is dramatically shortened… I'm not sure if the zoo value worth is worth this animal's sacrifice? Hmm… On a side note, maybe I'll make Tibettan food today. Overall I'm not a huge fan of it, but I do like momos. This is a highland cow, Scotland's answer to the yak. I lived on a highland cattle farm for about ten years, and I hope to get highlands again in a few years. Highlands are rugged, noble animals, and seeing one in a sparse cage, watching it mope about and look up into the forested hills outside its cage wasn't very fun.

I should add that I have no qualms eating animals and wearing their skins and using their byproducts to enhance my life. I have no qualms with raising animals for consumption if it's done responsibly and with a purpose, but seeing pointless torture, be it in a zoo or be it on a factory beef farm is inexcusable. Life is still life; our duty as the masters of this world is to treat it with respect.

Nice day

Today seems to be going well… I went an picked up some LAN cable to rewire the network here, and a printer cable. I did some secret stuff, and plan on doing more later. Today my only “big plan” includes finalizing the reward system for the superfriends. Of course, my plans are far from consistent… So who knows what happens today.

Can you guess who sent me this?

Boozy McBeer

Let me say: BEER MAKING IS FUN. First, the guy at the beer store was super cool… I told him I'd been given a beer kit for Christmas, and I was here to pick up the malt and hops kit. He asked me if I'd also been given a gift certificate — when I told him I had, but it was at home, he just said to bring it next time and let me take all my supplies for free! Thank you to Saira and Ryan for helping me make it — now the pictures:


The beer: a nice brown ale kit.

Sterilizing everything.

Boiling the water.

Creating the wort.

It's really grain!

The wort in the bucket.

Checking the temperature.

Transferring to carboyle.

Adding the yeast.

Did we do it right?

A job well done!

Hiding in the basement.

Funmail

We all get pretty funny comments from the authors of experiences. I say “we all” because even though I get the email, in theory the comments are directed at the people who reviewed the experience. Here is a selection of comments received when experiences were rejected:

Well, might as well include some regular funmail here while I'm at it.

From: "Amit Johar" toohorny4girls@***
Subject: too disgusting

i looked at your website and i'm sorry to say, it was real sick. Its just nasty, plain and simple. I don't think most viewers would enjoy seeing such torture. Just for curiousity, what happens to those individuals who participated in such torture. Did they die or what? Its not possible, that those guys, just got up and went home after their shots were done.

Yeah, everyone on the site is buried in my basement right now. None shall survive! HA HA HA! It's funny, because I got a really similar mail from someone else as well:

From: Joe tough_guy_1977@***
Subject: confusion

I just viewed your website. I seem to be confused, why an individual would be willing to go into such grisly torture of his genitals. I guess those guys did it for the money. If they did it for the money, then that amount must have been incredibly large amount they were paid based on the sexual damage they had to undergo. But even then, who the heck would want his genitals destroyed permanently for money???????? What's the story with it? it doesn't seem normal to me.

Yeah, there's really big money in posing for genital torture pictures. These guys are millionaires… This next and last one, I'm not sure what motivated it. I did a quick search and I don't see anything linked to this address, so I can only assume it's someone else who's experience got rejected.

From: EvelElffe@aol.com
Subject: You ma'am, are a moron.

Aside from personally attacking everyone that e-mails you; you're idiocy is amazing along with everyone else on your site.

You consider this disgusting trash to be art? Yeah man, way cool! Let's turn our reproductive organs inside out and shove pins and needles through them while we're at it! You know what would be the ultimate art? WHEELING!! Have someone WHEEL you. In case you're unsure of what wheeling is, it was a technique used during the Spanish Inquisition, your arms, legs, shoulders, and hips would all be broken (avoiding fatal blows, of course), in as many places as possible and then you would be wound and woven onto a wooden wheel and nailed onto a high post. Splinters of bone and rivulets of blood would potrude from your now hideously deformed body and the crows would fight over your eyes.

NOW THAT'S ART!!

You stupid fuck. You think you intimidate people with your idiotic mutilation? You're a fucking moron, along with anyone else who calls this "art". You all (including anyone who would PAY to see this shit) obviously have serious mental issues and should be shot in the face. It pains me that I live in the same world with people like you.

Put this one on your fucking web site you stupid bitch.
