Random musings

The October 4th issue of Rolling Stone magazine has stories featuring a pair of Thompsons: Hunter S. and Fred. If I had to vote for one of them as the next president of our great nation, it would have to be the former. Hunter S. Thompson’s ashes were fired out of a cannon from atop of a 150’ tower shaped like a fist holding a peyote button whilst red, white, and blue fireworks were shot ignited in splendor most grand. This is reason #517 why I’m proud to be an American.

 

You know the band The Killers? If I killed one of them…would I become one of them?

 

The Halo series’ Cortana is starting to concern me. In the first installment of the trilogy she was almost androgynous…bearing only a slight resemblance to a human female (kind of like Hilary Swank). In Halo 2, she was a bit more alluring with more accentuated curves. The girl next door was growing up. But in Halo 3, she’s turned even more vampish with a Fairuza Balk hair-cut and a painted-on body suit. Methinks more than one adolescent Spartan beat down his Jackal to her likeness. The real reason there will be no Halo 4? Because they’d have to give poor Cortana pierced nipples and a stripper pole to keep the trend going.

 

Do people who sell their souls to the Devil have to pay capital gains tax?

 

Business idea: rather than pay indigenous peoples of Nicaragua to carefully stonewash and file designer jeans to give them that oh-so sought after distressed look, have them wear the jeans whilst they toil in the turd fields instead. When they finally give up hope and hurl themselves off the top of a mountain outside of Managua, THOSE will be the primo jeans!

 

I attest to the veracity of the following two statements:

#1 “there is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically”

#2 James Watson is a racist asshole.
