Face it, Marge!

Face it, Marge. Catholics rule! We got Boston, South America, the good part of Ireland, and we're makin' serious inroads in Mozambique, Baby!

Dyslexic Dreams

I want to jump of a cliff
Feel my body cut through the wind
My soul dissolving in bliss
See the ground coming closer and closer

I want to jump of a cliff
Again and again
Survive to tell the tale
Again and again

I want to open my eyes
Look at and admire
The beauty that is the world
Or whatever is left of it

I want to sit with you, hand in hand
No, Don't talk now
Let's just look at that Cheshire Cat
It may be the last time that we do

There're scapegoats everywhere
I blame pollution for my confusion
Fascism for my naive fatalism
Caeser for my broken geyser

What was I even thinking
Am I the Byronic hero?
Or maybe just vice principal Nero

What's my twisted realm?
Points in space, Contaminated streams?
For now, I'd rather just slip back
To those intoxicating dyslexic dreams

Simpsons - The Movie


Here's a gist of the movie trailer (will upload the link to it in the next post):

The teaser begins with the camera panning closely over the Superman "S" insignia, while a voice-over actor dramatically announces "In 2007, leaping his way onto the silver screen, the greatest hero in American history."
This is meant to give the impression of the trailer being for Superman Returns, one of the high-profile releases of the summer of 2006.

The shot then zooms out to show Homer, wearing only a tiny Superman T-shirt and briefs, sitting on his couch. He blinks and timidly states, "I forgot what I'm supposed to say!"


The words "The Simpsons" appear, followed a moment later by the word "Movie" in large letters, as simultaneously the announcer says "The Simpsons Movie Opening worldwide, July 27, 2007." Homer is heard in the background, saying "Uh oh, we'd better get started!" It then displays the release date, while Mr. Burns says "excellent" in the background.

You missed The Red Dress Press?

Did you just say you missed The Red Dress Press?
Lisa may have opened a press in this one...
But it's an out and out Monty Burns' special
Excellent (Burns' Style)

Need to switch my thoughts

Watched the NatGeo special on Anacondas and Resticulated Pythons last night.
You dont want to get in a tangle with one of those!

So here's the gist of what I saw:

1 - The measured squeeze force of a female Anaconda shown was 8000 pounds/sq inch. That would be equivalent to a pickup truck standing on your chest.

2 - Did I forget to mention that Anacondas constrict for AT LEAST 10 - 15 minutes without letting off? That would make it a pickup truck standing over your chest for 15 minutes. Groovy!

3 - They can hold their breath in water for about an hour and go a year without eating...So the'r the real experts on Yoga and crash dieting!

4 - Both Anacondas and Resticulated Pythons shoot out their wind pipes while swallowing their prey to facilitate breathing... Who needs oxygen masks?

5 - I actually saw pt-4. happening on TV.

6 - Need to switch my thoughts over from pt-5. to Penelope Cruz before I puke.

The best things in life are free

You are born on Friday the 13th
Does it make you less of a human?
More of a monster
Castigated for time to come

You score a 01 out of a 10
Are you then fit to be deemed a failure?
A punching bag for life
A somebody, bordering on being a nobody

You wake up to the sound of a billion diamonds
Does that make you any different?
You're still going to die
And the diamonds will buy happiness nor life

You've taken a hundred lives
Does it take away your right to live?
Or give me the right to bay for your blood
Sometimes I forget- I'm human; I can take a thousand lives as easy as you've taken a hundred.

You can barely afford a loaf of bread
Does that make you unfortunate, sir?
The best things in life are free-
The invisible air, pristine water, ticking time and coveted death.

You set goals you could never achieve
Does it warrant manic depression?
I know of a king who built his heaven on earth
And died a whisker before stepping into it.
