The day of the Lord

Sunday, April 13, 2003

Well, it's looking more confirmed every day: the US is attacking Syria next, using the claim that “since no weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq, they must have been moved to Syria at the last minute” (more, more, more, more), and what with the US now also threatening/pressuring Israel (more, more), a nuclear nation with potentially more air power than the US — probably the only nation on the planet to be able to make that claim — things threaten to get very dirty.

The British are starting to pull their troops out of the Gulf (more), and their high-end admirals are going on record by name (not as “anonymous military sources”) to say that the US exaggerated claims of WMDs in order to launch a war (more, more). After all, when the US eventually expands this war to “axis of evil kingpin” Russia (more) and Europe, the UK doesn't really want to be on the losing team.

But who's winnig? ($$$$)

While that “genuinely evil” jackass Rumsfield is cracking jokes about killing and looting (more), the people of Iraq live in more fear and terror than they ever did under Saddam (more) — but apparently “looting is a sign of freedom” (more). The American troops, now passionately hated by the Iraqis (more), are assisting the looters by doing things like executing on the spot storekeepers who defend their shops (more), and not stopping looting of even Iraq's archaeological treasures (more) which will now surely end up in the hands of wealthy private collectors.

This is worth reading.

New World Order

Saturday, April 12, 2003

So I'm walking past the TV and I see on the CNN ticker-thing, “COMING UP… NEW WORLD ORDER” OK, now that's one of the more ironicly funny subtitles I've seen in a while so I stuck around to see what it was.

I was actually surprised to see it get serious coverage on CNN, but as you may know, Russia, Germany, and France just finished a meeting which, if they achieve their goals, will unite most of Europe along with most of the former Soviet states and some of the Asian states in a coalition designed to oppose the US on both military and economic levels.

That would not be good.

Add up the populations sizes, GDPs, weapons stockpiles, space programs, manufacturing facilities, and it should be very clear that this type of us-and-them standoff would be about the worst thing that could happen to America right now.

In other news, Amer al-Saadi, the Iraqi government's science advisor surrendered, insisting the whole time that Iraq has no weapons of mass destruction (more). Even though there is absolutely no evidence against him, the US intends to try him as a war criminal and execute him.

In land-of-the-free news, Alabama sex toy laws recently were overturned (so you'd be able to legally own a vibrator), but the government immediately appealed. Someone explain to me how a “free country” that encourages its citizens to own massive amounts of weaponry won't let someone own a vibrator (more).

PS. According to the Guardian/UK, there was no reason for invading Iraq. America just did it to “prove they could” do whatever they wanted… (more)

Yummy

Friday, April 11, 2003

Here's my recipe… I spent a lot of time eating borscht at Ukranian cafes in Toronto, figured it might be nice to have some now. Anyway, this is just made up so I have no idea if it'll turn out:

  • Cover some beets in water and turn on the stove
  • Toss in a lot of garlic, an onion, a whole carrot, pepper, salt, celery, whatever, zucchini, etc.
  • When it reaches a boil, let it simmer for about half an hour
  • Take out just the beets and the carrot and put them in cold water.
  • Peel the beets, grate all of it.
  • Put the grated stuff back in the soup.
  • Add some lemon and some more water if you want.
  • Eat it an hour later

I have simple tastes. What can I say… I admit though that I'm not so much a fan of cold borscht so I will maybe be cheating a little when I eat it hot…

Oh, and I've been working on the new article for some time next week. It's titled (I'm not kidding), “What 'the Modified' can learn from Satan“. It's actually pretty good, I think people will enjoy it (and yes, you can be a Christian and still “get” the article — no human sacrifice required!).

Uploading update now

Friday, April 11, 2003


Well, the update (a big one) is on its way to the site now… I expect it'll be uncompressed either later tonight or in the morning depending on the whims of the bird. Oh, and if you're wondering, that's oji on the cover.

Anyway, a few more replies to various scammers from Franko… This first fool sent in pictures that actually had the BME logo and the logos of the other sites he'd taken them from still on them. Seriously.

Wow, my nickname is "Van" too! They call me that because I live in a van down by the river. Anyway, when I get the van running (it's such a heap of crap), I'll be sure to drive right on over to the password store and pick one -- maybe two -- up for you.

Where should I mail it? Because you sent so many of your fine pictures we will forgo the normal shipping charges.

It will ship in a standard cargo crate, approximately 400 feet on all twelve sides with additional storage in subspace. To access it you will need a Creation Matrix or similar device -- Animorph junk won't cut it -- but I assume that's not a problem.

This next person sent me a tired old porn shot that's been submitted a million times. Hint: if the ripped off photo you're sending was clearly done at a pro-studio (ie. professional photographer that understand lighting, etc.) and you have long nails with white tips, I'll probably notice.

>Here is my picture...now can I get a membership?

Thank you so much for your picture. I've added it to the site and have already spent many hours personally admiring it.

Unfortunately it will be some time before I can get a membership to you since we're all out of passwords -- we've literally used every word in the dictionary, and it just wouldn't be right to make up words.

When the 2004 dictionaries are released (probably in about 10 months from now), keep your fingers crossed. If any new words become available you are currently 1,832nd in line for a password.

This next person sent in a pic I'm 95% sure is ripped off, but claiming to be a girl and keeping a guy's name and “haggardasfuck” as your email address is kind of a tip-off that you might not be quite who you say you are, superstar!

Thank you, it's good to hear from you again. I've given your password to Rake, just get it from him this weekend.

Well, I'm going to go cook some borscht now (like a good little commie I'm sure some of you are thinking). No, I'm not joking, I actually really like borscht and really am going to make some.

Try harder next time

Friday, April 11, 2003

I must have “world's most gullible dude” written across my forehead or something. Check out this submission I just got:

Subject: I need my BME

Here are some pics that I took after while removing the head of my cock. I hope you enjoy them.

Yeah, that's about as likely to fool me as “I've got your nose”. I'll realize it's just your thumb, and I've not been left disfigured… First, if you cut your glans off, there'll be A LOT of blood. Second, if you cut it off, you can't hold on to it like in the second picture!

Another person today sent in a “BME logo tattoo” that they drew on. Here's a hint: if you're a regular BME contributor that always sends in high resolution photos, and then you send in a shot of a logo tattoo and it's got weird blurring filters run on it, and you don't post it on your IAM page, I'll know something is up!

PS. I've been doing too many **ADULT** entries if you're wondering about the Japan-style censors.
