Christmas in Other Countries

.

.
In England they call Santa Claus "Mr. John Claus" and he wears a red deerstalker cap and smokes a calabash. Children are not permitted to sit on his lap but they can exchange brief nods from across the train station as he reads the paper. On Christmas, English kids eat pudding that is not from single-serve containers and a type of duck called "Goose." Good children receive pepper candies and buttered chestnuts and naughty children get the business with a riding crop on their bare bottoms until their buttocks shine striped hot and red.

In Italy Santa Claus is named Rizzo Claus and he wears fingerless gloves and a red speedo, dropping gold chains and dirty comic books into the pointy shoes of little Italian children, who leave out a little dab of hair gel for him next to a potted olive tree.

On the island of Malau it is the oldest unmarried child's responsibility to provide a Christmas feast for the family. They often tell a story there about a Malausi girl who had gotten a moorhen after one year's holiday celebration, promising to fatten it up for the next Christmas dinner. But the girl had started feeding it by hand, and by the monsoon season they were allowing it to walk around the hut like one of the family. They even named the moorhen "Pete." When Christmastime came around again, she did not think she had it in her to put Pete on the chopping block. So they ate the dog.

In Bulgaria it is not Santa who hands out toys and presents but his sinister companion, Lurthamog. Lurthamog of the Fallen Darkness, Slayer of Light! Lurthamog has six rotating sets of horns on his head, both his fangs and eyes are located in a gigantic wolf's jaw, and he is commonly depicted with a massive barbed penis. "Be nice this Christmas," say the old Bulgarian grandmothers "Or you'll get it in the ass with Lurthamog's spiked shaft!" And no one sets out a Christmas dinner table like the Bulgarians: Warm Cabbage Slaw, Cooked Cabbage, Cabbage in Water, Pan Cabbage, Cabbage Mush, Brown Cabbage & Beets with Cabbage sauce, and for dessert, a crisp wedge of room-temperature Christmas Cabbage!

In Ireland Christmas comes for the children one or two days late. On the morning of the 25th, children usually just find the person they suspect may be their father passed out in a "Yule Puddle" near the fireplace. Christmas Day is the one day Irish children are not allowed to say "Fuck" during their prayers. No, it does not snow in Ireland, that's actually dandruff, but it is festive nonetheless.

In Detroit they invented this spurious holiday called Kwanzaa to take advantage of day-after sales at the Zayre's. Santa Claus is depicted as a black man with a white beard, but most black kids know he is really a white. Kwanzaa is a time to wear tall brimless cylindrical hats.

In Texas they start celebrating Christmas on October 5 because there's no law against that or anything else. They string lights around the Christmas Tumbleweed and re-gift the bullets and bolo ties and Bible Books-on-CD they got last year. After a Christmas dinner of ribs and beef ribs, they attend church in an aluminum sided warehouse right off a ramp on Highway 44 to hear Rev. Jimmy Ray's homily on how Christmas didn't matter to Jimmy Ray back when he was in a motorcycle gang dealing angel dust up and down that same 44. It's actually pretty entertaining and worth a couple bucks in the tray -- It's Christmas.

After all, why would I want to sleep through someone coloring my flesh with a vibrating needle?

But my being a lousy Catholic is a whole different breast-beating six-volume list of shames in and of itself.


  82. Hummingbirds and jaguars (I’m still listening to the Frente! album!)


  83. West Texas, then West Allis have bemulleted my person. While my actual hair appears normal, there is a perceptible “shadow mullet” hanging over me.

I Wrote Some Limericks in a Bad Mood

.
Nantucket

There once was a young man named Charles
Who cried as he stood on the gallows
He fell with a thwack
It all went black
And he made a sound like Charo.


There was a man who left his scabies untreated.
It got so gross that he couldn't beat it.
Quoth he "I'm not a looney Lou,
I got these at Harvard U.
Natalie Portman could've had these sweet nits!"


There was a man who feared falling the worst
Because he lived a life so cursed
He slipped when it was raining and pouring
Off the Chrysler Building's dirigible mooring
Onto a pointy-helmeted German tourist


There was my high school girl and wow.
She hasn't lost a step and how.
Her geezer wears mock turtlenecks
And drives a Porsche and they have sex?
(She's renting out her vagina now.)


There was a young lady with a body like a sack
But I think I'll still try to take a crack
If she's got at least one breast
Then she's passed my one test
God's gift to fat chicks is back!


There remains a gal from Nantucket
Who poops in my cock-shaped nuggets
During the ass sex
I read her the classics
As for her one boob, I juggles it


There once was kind of a racist
Who hated the look on their faces,
"I want to kick in
their lazy grins
Right through their Shamrock Shakes."


There was a Limericist whose job was cushy
Though his meter and grammar were mussy
He got as rich as the Buddha
Writing Limericks that were screwed-up
With rhymes as slant as Chinese pussy


There was a woman named Oprah
Who could have run for Pope-rah
But she had to kick G. I. Joe's ass
With a hood/mask
As Commander of the C.O.B.R.A.


I feel better now. God bless Ernesto Limericks!

DVDS I Have Not Liked Recently

.
The Onion Movie/DVD

It's a car crash you can't turn your head away from, but then you see a busted-up baby seat and you turn your head away, but then you want to see if the baby was thrown clear so you look back, and then you see that the crash has killed a cheerleader, and thrown her sweater off and she was wearing a purple bra, so you pull out your penis and start to masturbate, but then you realize your whole family is in the car, and you turn back away from the crash site to see if your family has noticed and they have. And that's just the first fifteen minutes!
.

What's up with my "Specialty" kisses?

.
Wouldn’t you like to know? Well, okay.
.
What are you, holding a book? You've got use your hands, your arms, your body. Amateur!

The Tough but Tender
This is the one where I grab my wife’s body and slam it against my own, but right before I plant her one, I slow down, giving her just one tiny peck on her top lip, soft and gentle as moonbeams.

Butter P
I sneak around her from behind and hum with my mouth on her jugular, humming using more and more nasal cavity, to transfer the more and more vibration to her neck. I flourish it with butterfly kisses on the chin and jaw, but it‘s not the main event. The name Butter P comes from a dead cat. This is another one for when she is not in the mood.

Red Alert
This is the one where I whip my shirt off while going in for the first kiss, so there’s no confusion. There is nothing worse than a confused woman. With Red Alert, I treat the whole thing like it’s my birthday, there’s a lot of slobber at first but the bedclothes don’t even get damp, and pretty soon everything is fine in my head again, and then she’s talking about her day, or whatever she talks about.

Jazz
The one where I brush a strand of hair from her brow, cup her sun-dappled jowl, look lovingly into her eyes, then trumpet farting noises on her chubby cheeks until she is able to buck me off.

The old Rope-a-Dope
Where I fall on the couch with her on top. If you’re on the bottom, you still have to pull them closer and tighter. This avoids any “Am I crushing you?” response, ‘cause if she gets that into her head you might not pull this deal off. She thinks she is kissing me with this one. I say “You’re frisky today” and it comes off like it was all her idea.

Jane!
I say Jane! really loud like I have something super important to say, but then I just kiss her, Jane, and that is the super important thing.

El Que
Unsneaking a kiss. The one where I turn my face in the same direction when she starts up a kiss, so she has to weave and bob so our noses don‘t bump. She usually doesn’t have to do any work. I am the kisser here. And then I actively try to block her nose with my nose. This kiss is good for being passive-aggressive.

Secret CIA kisses
Public displays of affection are not permitted in my culture, so in a bar or on the softball field or in the presence of children, I go in for what looks like a whisper, but just kissy blow in her ear instead, with kind of a pusst pusst pusst. And then we laugh, making it look like just a joke.

Snaggles
Nipping at her earlobe with my chipped tooth. This is not very erotic for her or me but is good for waking her up.

Spindrift
This involves spinning her around before a kiss. Turning her around is ostensibly for getting a 360 degree view of her. She likes the idea of me checking out her ass and this or that outfit. But it’s more about the spinning, which always feels a little like love. Easy on this one, good kisses are dizzying enough. Don’t try this before or right after Tough but Tender. It will look foolish, and could be potentially damaging to the lady.

Daddy
Daddy is just a hug, but it is the tightest, most full-body hug I offer. I keep my hands open because it increases the hug coverage along with using my head and shoulders to really press that hug in there. Guaranteed to make her feel like a tiny little girl. It is very similar to my hug Hold On! but the cheeks are not touching, no Eskimo kisses, and no hand in the back pocket. This is for when she needs a safe, serious hug.

Some people don‘t name their kisses, but in order to know something you have to call it a name, like how Thor named his hammer or wrestlers name their suplexes. I’m not even telling you some of my more special kisses, like Apollo or Viper, as you will just knock your own wife’s dirty socks off without giving Loland the credit. It’s not really about kisses though, it’s about the sincerity.

10 Things Kids Could Do Instead of Smoking.

.


.
There’s so many things kids could be doing besides smoking!

Kids could be:



Chucking shit at a beehive.



Rhyming using swear words.



Perfecting a new two-handed masturbation technique.



Drinking codeine cough syrup and standing in the exact middle of the park.



Skipping stones. It’s not gay if you’re really good at it. You don't have to skip there or anything.



Going on a homeless watching expedition.



Catching moths and feeding them to Chad’s gerbil Chuckle Chomps.



Discussing the latest Hustler.



Performing pudding-cupilingus.



Checking the factory dumpsters for sharp metal rubbish resembling throwing stars.



Bothering the garbage men. Cripes, I wanted to be a garbage man!



You know what? Fuck it. Kids should smoke.

Kapuchinski Family Heraldic Items

.
The more esteemed and historical the family, the more complex the coat-of-arms chosen to represent it. My family crest is impressive, having been borne in a long line of Crusaders, Philosopher-Kings, Barrel Magnates, plus the regular Sluts and Ball Hogs.

Family motto: Ecce! which is Latin for “Hey you!”

The Falcon Rampart upon a golden egg - the falcon represents skills, the egg, bills.

The man-bear fighting a jackelope - obvious meaning.

Background field of what I think are blue bennys.

Exterior Ornament: A very hairy baby.

A purple tent, because we’re in tents like that.

10 barrels. Why so many barrels? My family was into barrels. Having a barrel was like owning a car back then. Having 10 barrels was like owning a fricking spaceship.

My all-in-one scanner has recently been demoted from 4-function to 2-function, so I can't show you it now, but I will update this post. Do you want a fax?

.

When Obama legalizes all the drugs the advertisers will need some slogans and copy. I am getting a head start on Madison Avenue.

Witey Crack - If you find fresher, more-high-grade crack, buy it.

Golden Farm Ganja - Straight from nature, sun-grown golden dank. Father (opening baggy): "Can you smell the sun, Jessie?" Daughter: "I can daddy. I can!"

Loland Kapuchinski: Devil's Advocate

.
A Defense of The Happening

You are all pedantic movie-hating babies.
Especially you. I think you are too chicken to suspend your disbelief and open your heart for this corny creepout. You may be looking to knock the king of corny creepouts down a peg or two, but you'll have to wait for it. Marvin Night Shyamalan delivers the goods intact yet again. The Happening is moody and moony, but maintains a level of spooked-out fun as the characters wade through the difficulties of an arcane toxic event. The two protagonists have the small problems in their relationship rendered humorously insignificant by what's happening around them, and love gives them the strength to persevere.

Mark Wahlberg is not Gary Oldman or even Gary Burghoff, but he can definitely add a creaky quiver to his voice. He delivers in the topical intro scene as the high school science teacher who gives a damn and tries to get the kids involved. (It's also good to see the attempt to drop a little science in an increasingly ignorant Hollywood.) Later, Wahlberg's crying is believable. He's Marky Mark and he's here to move you.

People have to die in horror films, otherwise they would stop being being cool and start being as gay as your old grandma. There are expendable characters and Hispanic-American working actor John Leguizamo chose to play one of those roles. What's wrong with that, you tinhorn high-horse cultural fascists? Minorities should appear in films set in the modern United States.

Zooey Deschanel's comely looks are mentioned frequently as high points of the film, but this is sexist objectification. No one seemed to notice she looked really tense throughout the movie. Good acting has limited noticeability.

It doesn't need to be spelled out in boldface.
People need exposition more and more, but that's what kills movies for me. The people who write these things aren't smart enough to hack out realistic-sounding science riffs. Shyamalan gives multiple theories from unreliable sources and never nails it down for us 100%. In the denouement some talking head on a diegetic tv news program exposits "We'll never fully understand it." That's fine with me because it is a movie.

How to watch a movie.
I'm never the one pushing up my glasses, sucking the spit from the sides of my mouth, and asking "Doesn't it seem unlikely those dragons can fly with such massive bodies and such small wings?" because I know that a dragon's bones are hollow like birds' and their muscle fibers are made out of tubes of gas, and they make use of a lot of convection currents and the dragon's stomach functions like a hot air balloon and they are also incredible jumpers, which adds to the flight. Look, I've got a box of no-prizes gathering dust in the back hallway testifying to a personal commitment to being entertained in spite of illogic. I'm not a slacker. I'm doing the work. I'm actively imagining a world in which it can all take place, not railing against how an imaginary world differs from my own.

I liked it.
Marky sings a selection from Doobie Brothers' "Black Water" to convince some shotgun-wielding goober he's not zombified. The little girl they are saving is as cute as three baby bunnies. Marky and Zooey love each other. Nerd as hero. Trees as enemies? Through the confusion, love conquers all... or does it?! Anyway, I liked it.

(It's not without its faults.)
Ferinstance: There is this scene where a lady gets a video zapped to her phone of lions ripping a zookeeper's arms off and it's a real cheapie piece of work. I think they decided not to de-res it -- to make it look like a shaky, blocky realistic cellphone video -- because it's an Iphone product placement. And the bloody neurotoxin victim waddling sleepily around the lion enclosure looks a lot like Chris Elliot doing his Marlon Brando 'banana dance' to 'Alley Cat.'

HEADPHONEGATE!

.
These new headphones are awful, giant pincers that produce sound. I feel as though I am receiving "The Claw" from Baron Von Raschke and I only have to wear the headphones for a few seconds before I start giving up the names and locations of Al Qaeda cells.
And how painful they are is nothing compared to how stupid they look -- 1/2 Dumbo ears, 1/2 lobsided orthodontic head-bridle.
How was I gudgeoned into making such a purchase? Look at this guy.
.

He's not complaining. This guy loves his swell new headphones. A LOT. I wanted to be him when I saw the Maxell headphones in the bargain rack. And yet the image is a lie! A LIE! The headphones are photoshopped in.

The headphones are not even designed for human heads. This is why I feel like I need to admit that I am a witch before I take them off.

FOR SHAME, MAXELL.
FOR SHAME!

Dinner Party Mix-Tape

.
.
You have awful dinner parties. You make guests take their shoes off. You serve cocktails in cocktail glasses (too small). You allow your guests to fill up on appetizers and cashews. You put beans in the entree (they make people fart) and your hip-hop is a deterrent to long-form conversation. Let me help, in my small way.

I have rewritten "Greatest Love of All" for zombies.

.

I believe the children are our are future
Use your hands to tear their flesh away
Eat all the organs they possess inside
Give them a sense of dread through your moaning
Let the children's slaughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

[Chorus:]
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Eating children’s brains
It is the greatest love of all

I believe the children are our are future
Use your hands to tear their flesh away
Eat all the organs they possess inside
Give them a sense of dread through your moaning
Let the children's slaughter remind us how we used to be

[Chorus]

And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love.


I didn't have to change it much.

THE FUTURE... OF PORN!

.
I have done a serious study of the internet pornography phenomenon while my wife is in Wausau. I ordinarily don't go for it, as I use the history function on my browser all the time, but this cultural review has been eye-opening. Here are my ideas for where porn can go in the next century.

Twins? Just plain blood-related twins having gay sex? Whatever -- that's barely a step up from incest. I'd like to see conjoined twins going at it. What about Double Siamese? Depending on where they were fused, they'd either line up or have to go turnsies.

Seeing a man 'take charge' by grabbing the head of the woman fellating him is all the rage in porn these days. (The feminists have no one to blame but themselves.) In the future, he will grab her by the eye sockets. That's porn!

There should be black guys with gigantic fake dicks. The future is now. The girls are in on the joke and actually smile, for the beginning part at least, before things get hairy.

These 'on the face' pullouts are clumsy, and therefore less romantic. The future of porn is internal money shots using tiny cameras, x-rays, and clear plastic skin on the abdomen. Voila! The romance is back!

Shaved orangutans.

New Rating: NSFHE -- Not safe for your home, either. Don't tell Dateline!

Friends episodes in which the clothing is digitally removed. Schwimmer is removed completely.

Toddler porn, (For showing to toddlers. Nothing dirty, just a lot of bright colors and happy songs. They are addicted to that shit.)

Alien Autopsy Uncensored

"Delivery room" sex scenes, where the baby has to slide out on the penis like a fire pole.

In Search of: Goatse. Why do I want to know his real name? What makes him tick, besides the obvious?

A monkey riding a dog. (On a tiny monkey saddle. Nothing dirty. A smile is like an erection on your face!)

Asians with huge cocks (CGI).

Plant porn (like a tape of Broccoflower getting made).

A guy who is accidentally sent to a woman's prison. (His name is Pat or Terry or Tony or something else gay, and there is a mix-up or clerical error... Who am I kidding? I've written the entire script. Call me, Porn Syndicate!)

Happy Belated Mother's Day

.
Strophe: I would go on a date with your moms but I don't have change of a five.

Antistrophe: I would go on a date with your moms but I don't have change of a one.

My TV Show.

.
...So I meet this TV producer and I tell him that he should do a show about me and my crazy family. He says he hears that all the time and what would an episode of the show be like? And I say that he could do an episode about me and my wife's crazy sex life. I just got out of prison, and in prison I got the head of my penis bit off. Not the whole way, but mostly, and you can still see every toothmark, like someone had bitten into a block of cheese, and right in the center of the bite is a little red tube and that's my peehole. I also have swastika tattoos all around my dick and butt. I tell the TV producer I was one of the popular guys in prison.
...With half a head, in order to come, I have to really pound on my wife's ass for hours, which is okay because she is very heavily medicated. She can't even talk or feel anything. I have to ram it like a maniac and me, and other guys I guess, have rammed her so much that her asshole is completely distended--her anus can stick out maybe a foot past her butt. Sometimes I lay her down in the fetal position when she is unconscious and stomp on the distended anus with high heels. She doesn't even notice. Her drug problem, that could be an episode too.
...But it's a family show. We've got this adopted son, although I guess adopted is a strong word. We call him Shitpussy and he's a mongoloid, good for beating on and not much else. Except I've broken his jaw so many times that there is scar tissue up and down his mouth and throat, making it super nice and tight.
..."Stop right there!" says the TV producer. "We'll make a few small changes to it and call it The World According to Jim."

And that's how my TV show got made.

I wrote a poison index.

.
Progressive classifications like the Bristol Stool Scale or the Schmidt Sting Pain Index are used to help doctors. I have written a poison scale to tell a doctor or doctors how poisonous something is.

  1. Poisonesque
  2. Somewhat poisonous
  3. Fairly poisonous
  4. Poisonous -- 'Nuff said
  5. Just plain poisonous
  6. Not just plain poisonous
  7. Really poisoney
  8. El Poisano Grande!

These are not necessarily in order.

Now We're Cooking Now!: Summer Sausage

.
Summer Sausage is Nature's perfect food. It is as hearty as the pioneer spirit of America. It lasts longer than Castro, and unlike Disney's head, it needs no refrigeration. It is as flexible as my high-school girlfriend, and just as cheap. It lends a rustic air to any dish in which it is featured.
.

Summer Sausage Carbonara - Employ your favorite carbonara recipe, (mine comes out of a little packet) but use summer sausage instead of bacon. Another benefit of summer sausage over bacon is that it accepts a fork better. You can use it to cap a twirl of noodles and shovel peas on. I don't just add a few peas for color either. I like two or three peas to pop in my mouth every bite. Peas taste pretty bad, but the pop makes it fun.

Spaghetti Meat Sauce - I add a tube of ground turkey strictly for texture, because with some cubed SS, we got the flavor covered. I use Paul Newman's sauce and fresh green peppers. I serve it with anchovy garlic toast - pan fry some garlic in butter, then smush up a tin of anchovies in it and smear it on toast. Who's rustic?

Loland's Fresh Blood - I make unreal Bloodies. I have a juicer, of course. If it plugs in I own it. The way I make this tasty drink is at odds with my not being a California fancy pants, but trust me. You could use no-salt V-8, but trust me. If you can stomach sickly sweet store-bought mix, with its high-fructose corn syrup and lack of zing, then perhaps you are not the person Loland had in mind when he invented this beverage. This cocktail is meant for chillingly critical gourmands and non-smoker supertasters. Fresh juiced tomatoes and peppers really pop with pep and fresh flavor. Red bell peppers cost way more but adding juiced green peppers sullies the deep red color. Juice hot peppers, radishes, and carrots, too. Carrots balance out the heat, plus all that jazz is heart-smart. Mix the vodka and juice and refrigerate. Muddle a sugar cube in some worcestershire and Tabasco in a lowball glass heavily rimmed with celery salt. I use frozen cooked shrimp, frozen summer sausage cubes, and cold pickles instead of ice. The shrimp and sausage are unfrozen and perfectly flavored by the end.

Summer Sausage Vinaigrette - It's hot bacon vinaigrette, served warm, but with shredded summer sausage instead of bacon. There is less grease to render out of the sausage so you'll need more olive oil.

Summer Squash and Summer Sausage Jambalaya. Both summer sausage and summer squash have summer in their names! Isn't that great? Oddly enough, this is more of a fall dish.

Summer Sausage Pizza Bake! This is self-explanatory. Pizza Bake!

Picnic Table Stew - They call this Frogmore Stew, but there are no frogs in it. They also call it a Low Country Boil. Or Bedford Stew? Regardless, skin a stripe in a few Red Potatoes and boil with thick slices of the old Summer Sausage. Add some Old Bay or some other spices. Then add corn on the cob. Then at the end add some shrimp or crawdads until they are done. And here's the fun part, just dump it out over some newspapers on a picnic table. Serve with crusty bread. Just when you thought it couldn't get any more rustic, there I go!

Fucken ay, just put the summer sausage in a bowl and pour milk on it.
It's the best.

I wrote some kōans.

What is the sound of one tooth clackering?

There is a kōan in here somewhere.

The root word of "impossible" is "possible."

Checkitty check yourself before you wreck yourself.

Bodhidharma crossed the Yangtze River and came to the kingdom of Qi. He just just parked on some dude's lawn, using his hazards.

Rainy days used to make me sad, but not since I started growing alfalfa.

Student: Are you taking a shower? Al Jaffee: Shower? I thought this was a phone booth and I came in to make an obscene phone call.

I spilled spot remover on my dog and now he's gone.

McGriddle farts smell exactly like McGriddles. The body has no idea how to process them. It's a kōan for your GI tract.

15 Things My Wife Said During the NFL Draft

.
Jane is sharing my interests.

  • Go Packers!
  • I hope he doesn't get cocky about being drafted first.
  • I would never trade my first round draft pick. In football, or in anything.
  • With a name like Shawn I thought he'd be Irish.
  • Where would you like to go if you were drafted? I'd pick New York.
  • COMMENT TOO RACIST TO REPEAT (Unintentional, of course!)
  • More quarterbacks, please!
  • Oh my God! That's where Poppy went to school! I have to call her.
  • Poppy on the phone: They draft them? Even if they don't want to play?

    Jane: They draft them so they don't have to pay them as much.
  • I can't believe Danny Woodhead hasn't been drafted. He's sooo cute.
  • Who else, that I would know, has won the Theisman?
  • That guy is fast!
  • Is that Tiki Barber's brother? (Go Jane!)

I love her.

I was beaten by my father.

A Poem about Abuse


I was beaten by my father.
Why, papa, why?

I was beaten by my father.
Checkers, tennis.
You name it.
Horse AND pig.
Run Yourself Ragged.
Tri-ominoes.
Balderdash, the hilarious bluffing game.
No quarter asked or given.
Scotland Yard -- which clearly states on the box
"A compelling detective game for ages 10-adult."
Yet I was compelled to play it at nine.
I could not help my little brother,
who was yet a tender seven,
And was often beaten badly.
I still cry when I hear the pop
Of a pop-a-matic bubble
Leaking my insides like a broken plastic sand-timer.
Father had no patience
For Risk or Monopoly, at least,
And he wouldn't play us in Atari.
The joystick conveniently made his hand hurt,
But we were used to the pain.
He would beat us savagely
Even in games based mostly on chance,
Hurting us all the more.
Mom would just watch helpless
Making a casserole,
Laughing
When we would joke to cover our suffering.

I was beaten by my father,
Who claimed often that he loved me.

I was beaten by my father.
Why, papa, why?

50 Other Things That Won't Get Me Boing-Boinged.

.
They have earned my emnity since I got denied. I sent them this...
.
Not photoshopped. Okay, I straightened it.

Wha-at?! Classic 60's Archie popping quaaludes ain't Boing-Boing enough? Two girls for every guy, peer pressure, and tranqs. It's not as good as Mickey attempting suicide but it's worth a shout-out. Anyway, they'll feel my wrath, just like God feels my wrath when I shake my fist at the sky.

  • Can't the Boing-Boing crew take a picture where they are backlit or something?! Couldn't they pretend to be cool for just the one second it takes to take a picture? Why don't they just wear two pairs of glasses each and propeller beanies?
  • I don't like ads. I don't even like to know they exist. They upset my delicate sensibilities. I don't like ads or drafty rooms and I'll just scream if I'm anywhere near a pigeon. The internet is where I go to be free of ads. They're sneaking them in now cause they know they can, cause they got us hooked on the vids. Those sweet sweet funny crazy vids. That's called the comeback and it's what smack dealers use on their clientele. Shame-Shame.
  • The links to average artists' work seem suspiciously like ads. I like neat art so just pick me a winner. Half a second of screen change is too much for me. I'm not being sarcastic--it is. Me, I like to scroll. That's why they call me Easy Scrollin' Loland.
  • DRM, DMCA, RIAA, etc. still going strong. Copyright lawyers are ten times smarter than copyfighting bloggers and not even half as lazy.
  • I say "seen it, seen it, seen it" when I hit this site ever since digg and reddit got going.
  • In Neuromancer the technology was nonsense. Literally transparent. Gibson, more of a social fictioner, became scientifically literate only later in the game.
  • Lovecraft was overwrought in proportions unspeakable... Oo, I guess it happens. I'm not counting this one.
  • I bought these SWAT boots I saw on Kevin Kelly's Cool Tools in my gayest second ever. They also have a 14-hole-to-zipper conversion kit that I seriously considered for my fifth gayest second ever.
  • Mark Fraunfelder considers himself an illustrator but his illustrations are all cheesecake and robots. Is he doodling on his folder during phonics class? Isn't there an age cutoff point for cutesy-wootsie?
  • This website is full of thetans. The late Amazing Randee would think I was a sucker but I'd like to see his e-meter readings!
  • Terrorists walk among us and I think the best way to stop them is hassling people who take photographs in public places. The Government agrees with me, and has there been another 9/11? (I don't mean just the date, that happens every year. I mean crazy blowing-up stuff stuff.) Only a little! Thanks Government!
  • Too many pity-generating tributes to dead or dying sci-fi writers. Sci-fi writers' lives always end alone, diseased and penniless. This is as it should be for those who kick against the pricks. There is noble honor in that death.
  • I know Neal Stephenson. We were neighbors growing up in West Allis. He was removed from public school (punched a teacher) and sent to Ethan Allen School for Boys in Wales, WI, which used to be a tuberculosis sanitorium, where he eventually got a tattoo on his fucking neck at age 13. Even though we used to be close, after his first year at Ethan Allen Neal Stephenson came back and gave me the nickname Stinky Butt. I blame the system. Although in all fairness to the system I did not always wipe my butt thoroughly after making a dunky, which is what we called pooping in those days.
  • Corey Doctorow's fiction is easily available due to willy-nilly Creative Commons licensing (so we all know it's utter crap). Corey, you aren't a sci-fi writer with a sales blog, you are a professional blogger, who dabbles in crap.

    Did Loland mention he a balls-out straight hater? Now you got the news, Boing-Boing--Low K is bulldoggin'. My grill up in this, bulldoggin'.

  • I would totally introduce my plant-nerd friend Clayton to Xeni Jardin. (He's fat.)
  • You know who went to Disneyland a lot? Rich kids. Hate to drop the R-bomb but there it is.
  • Macs are for rich kids, or worse, cultists. Cultists want to be in on something. Boing-Boing, for instance.
  • Last I heard, Apple and Disney are corporations. No need to to put their dicks in your mouth unless they pay for the privilege. Even then leave some space.
  • Mobile posting sponsored by Microsoft. 'Nuff said.
  • Nintendo was for air-conditioned fat kids. Everyone at Boing was either super fat or super skinny as a kid, guaranteed.
  • It might be nice to have a Big Brother looking out for you. We've got the wallscreens already and I love them. I'm like the one Julie Christie in Fahrenheit 451--I can't wait to get a bigger one so I can be closer to my television family. Dystopia might be all right.
  • I think atheists are atheists because they masturbate a lot, and they would feel ridiculous if they believed God was watching. (It's a cross to bear. I swear, sometimes I feel like I am masturbating with an ancestor's cold dead hand.)
  • Agnostics need to shit or get off the pot. There will be no pleading plausible deniability to a wrathful God at the End of Days.
  • Bums are performance artists and vice-versa.
  • Graphic novels are comic books. Comic books are for kids. They are, you know.
  • Computers used to suck, and now they're good. Not the other way around. Getting wistful about old computers is misplaced nostalgia. No-stalgia? Nauseastalgia? No time to sniglet! I'm bulldoggin'!
  • Canadian! J'accuse!
  • Bruce Schneier is a security expert? I'm no Jimmy Snuka, but I'm pretty sure I could beat the shit out of him.
  • The Church of the Subgenius is just the lazy man's Discordianism, which is the poor man's Existentialism, which is Dada's dumb-but-haughty sister.
  • Marijuana is mostly used for non-medical purposes. Like writing weblogs.
  • HOWTO divide a freezer-bag into individual servings before freezing? Super! HOWTO set up a DIY abortion clinic? Really? So close to Prom?
  • Philip K. Dick was against abortion. What's so great about abortion anyway?
  • The Dalai Lama is against abortion. Did you know his first name is "Jetson?"
  • Women don't even go on your site.
  • Boingers are not Nerds. Nerds do hard science for a living and talk ONLY in moonman science talk. They don't deign to stupefy themselves with common conversation, and they can be respected for that. They actually hate to be confused with fanboy-geek types. I know...

    Me: "Are you going to see that (Such & Such Sci-fi Movie) when it opens this weekend?"

    Nerd relative: "I'm attending a lecture in India."

    Boing is geeks, a band higher in frequency and lower in power on the unmagnetic spectrum of disassociated culture... of people who were picked on as kids. Geeks are dilettantes who get overexcited about their cool new thing and spittacles form on the edges of their lips when they sputter about it. I can practically see the flaky crust on the corners of the screen.
  • If you graphed the only eleven subjects they post on, then you would be just as bad.
  • What is the point of a watch that is hard to read? It's like wearing cologne that's hard to smell. Okay, I see it. Can't hate on the crazy watches. I'm not counting that one toward the 50 but I'm still bulldoggin'. I'm like a Tiger ripping into Boing-Boing's flesh with my claws and fangs and Tiger sword.
  • Somewhere out there there is someone actually masturbating to "2 girls, 1 cup." I bet it's a dude, I bet he's got one of his mom's turds in his mouth, and I bet he reads Boing-Boing...
  • More people see Goatse than the Pieta. Tubgirl is this culture's Grande Jatte. Ask yourself: Should this be a meme? Should I help to spread this?
  • ...and Rick Astley's back. Thanks a lot!
  • Free e-books are free for a reason. There are some old broken frames out by my garbage cans that I have freed from their legal constraints, isn't that great?!
  • If you go to Burning Man you will see a lot of penises. They should really be put away when not in use.
  • Linux is still not an option for most users. I installed it... "What do you mean I can't play games?" If you want something for free you have to steal it.
  • Teller doesn't talk because he has a voice like a little girl.
  • Game designer Marvin Glass refused to pay licensing fees to Rube Goldberg for Mousetrap...
  • It was not because Rube Goldberg stole his famous idea from limey Heath Robinson. Rube's other works were infantile--Boob McNutt, Professor Butts...
  • They're doing this retrospective on their BoingTV, which has only been around for 6 months. That's not a retrospective. That's a currentspective.
  • Steampunk is for geek dandies. Like being a geek isn't bad enough, you gotta sissify it? Stick it in your electric ascot, Nemo!
  • Boing-Boing is very Web Number 2.0
  • Who helped the most after Katrina? Wal-Mart.
  • Who hires all the poor people? Wal-Mart. They don't read Boing-Boing I guess. Idiots!
  • I bet they all ride recumbent bicycles at Boing-Boing. They don't know it, but that's like the worst insult ever.
Ten seconds after I post this all Boing-Boing's servers will fry from shame. The bloggers' laptops will be found on the floor next to a pile of computer chips, having done the honorable thing. I will receive super secret emails from their girlfriends and common-law wives, and more importantly, their advertisers. Then I will become what I beheld until my place on top is wrested by some new hotshot hater.

All Four Burners: Ten Minute $3 Full Breakfast

.
I am one-third Scottish, one-third Jewish, and one-third Dutch. As such, I am the cheapest man in the universe, always trying to figure out how to save three cents on a length of pipe. Time is money, so I have to do things fast fast fast. I've got other things to do. I mean, lists of penis euphemisms don't write themselves. I make this easy, tasty, heart-smart daystarter all the time. This actually takes me more than ten minutes because if I use the toaster, microwave, and coffeemaker at the same time I would blow a fuse. You probably don't live in a hovel, though, so it should take you just ten.

Pan 1. - Potato Crepe.
Mix mashed potato flakes with water and onion powder until it is as runny as milk. Mix in egg. Pour thin sheet into heated, oiled pan. Crispen then flip. Use your extra-slippiest teflon-coated pan because old boy is sure tough to flip without.

Summer Sausage Goddam Rules.

Pan 2. - Crispy Summer Sausage and Breakfast Vegetables.
Summer sausage is cheaper, quicker, healthier, easier, meatier, and kosherer than bacon. Julienne the sausage (thin strips) and fry, shaking the pan frequently. Add mushrooms, cap side down, once the sausage has let go some of its grease. Add onion wedges a few minutes after (I like my onion to still have a little bite). Add grape tomatoes a few minutes before serving, making sure that the tomatoes are touching the pan. Be careful when biting into hot grape tomatoes, because if you get a tomato juice burn on your lip it will look just like a cold sore. You can tell them what it really is, but no one will believe you, and shame will be your name and game.

Pot 1. - Frijoles Negros.
Brown crushed garlic cloves in olive oil. Drain most of the bean goo from a can of black beans and dump the rest of the can into the hot pot. Add green pepper and onions, the frozen pre-chopped is fine. Add more spices. Stir lightly and frequently. Serve with Beano, because you're eating eggs too and no one likes egg farts. There is something disconcerting about farts that smell like food you've consumed.

Pot 2. - Loland's Hand-Mixer Mock Souffle.
Mix eggs, dollop sour creme, dollop water, dash cornstarch, dash white vinegar, dash no-salt dry butter flavor granules, and dash no-salt Ms. Dash spice blend. Use a metal hand mixer to blend in deep pot. Heat slowly, continuing to blend with hand mixer. This results in a light egg foam. Salt and sprinkle on cheese while still hot. Dot with Tabasco before eating. This egg recipe is awesome and I invented it. I am letting you in on it because I am sweeter than breezes through the honeysuckle.

4-slice Toaster - Buttered Toast and Flapjacks.
I call them Flapjacks because that's what Paul Bunyan called them. Frozen toaster flapjacks, French toast, and waffles are just as good as the ones you make yourself. You purists can go jump in the lake.

Microwave - Fruit Compote Flapjack Topping.
Mix handful frozen fruit, dollop orange juice, double pinch brown sugar, pat o' butter, dash vanilla, and pinch cinnamon and nutmeg. Microwave until very hot and let sit for a while. You can put it on the flapjacks. Have a scoop of vanilla ice cream too as long as you are not around anyone who will call you "fatty."

Serve with coffee, milk, AND orange juice. Just like on the back of the cereal boxes. I never skimp on presentation, even when eating alone. Cooking is an art. I would take a picture except for I sat on my digital camera.

Give the lady breakfast!
Provided your last night's date is not too hungover from the Rohypnol to eat, this is the perfect morning fry-up -- impressive, but quick enough to seem like you're not trying too hard. You don't need to mention how cheap it is. Make sure she sees you using all four burners, plus the toaster and microwave. Make sure she sees you crack the eggs two at a time. I swear she will mention that to her friends even before she mentions the size of yer cock.

Come on!

.
Keanu didn't ruin Street Kings because it would not have been very good anyway. No surprises with Keanu's performance though. He's really bad.
.

There is a point in which Keanu taps another cop on the chest with his fist and says "Come on." A natural enough gesture for most, to spur another person with a small chuck, but Keanu starts his swing too early before his sentence and he keeps his fist on the other officer's chest for too long. He enunciates the words too slowly and separately.

Forest Whitaker can change cadence in the middle of a line, show you angry and nervous simultaneously, even express things unsaid using his face and body. Keanu cannot mimic basic human motion.

In Speed, Keanu calls a large man "Gigantor" in reference to an old cartoon, but Keanu has never made a pop reference in his life. He blurts it out with no rising or falling tone to signify it as humor. Keanu seems to think the man's name is actually "Gigantor." Or maybe he thinks the actor will be replaced after filming with a CGI Gigantor. It is impossible to guess what his character is thinking, because Keanu does not modulate his voice or make facial expressions. Reflect on that and also Keanu's position as a top Hollywood actor, like Hayden Christensen.

Why, Loland, why?
I have a theory: David Geffen shoots his come so hard into the back of a male ingenue's throat that it damages his spine and motor/sensory abilities. He is then given a career as a top actor for disability compensation.

I won't criticize Hayden's performance as I think he is recovering from a stroke or something.
German Name: Nicht Genügend Der Hotty

10,000 BC
More mammoths please! If you can't do more mammoths, then less movie, please.
German Name: Nicht Genügend Der Hotty II

The Hitman
Some of this movie is ridiculous!

Horton Hears a Who!

Seuss movie without hideous frightmasks, but with more padding than a down comforter.
German Name: Der CGI Elefant

There Will be Blood
It was good until I fell asleep. Sorry, Dan! It's okay though: I dreamed I was watching a new Deadwood episode.

Juno

She's pretty fully-realized and eloquent for a teenage slut.
German Name: Jew? No!

Darjeeling Limited
Would make a beautiful silent film.

Leatherheads
Gayer than you'd think.

Drillbit Taylor
Which plays better in the media, a drug overdose or a suicide attempt?
German Name: Superschlechte

Stop-Loss
Daring performances that still blow.
German Name: Wir Toldusoe

21
So the protagnerd loses his V-card to Kate "rocket scientist" Bosworth, but then the dramatic crux of this movie occurs when his fat friends kick him off their science team. ?!
German Name: Schwarzejack

The Mist
Nothing scarier than a mist!
German name: Der Leitrainen

I Am Legend
Fresh Prince wisecracks his way through what is really a love poem to New York City. Love ya Big Apple!
German Name: Ich Bein Ein Jetsfaan

German name: Weihnacht Haben Ludacris Ein Zwerg?

The Bank Job
Nothing more boring than a true story.

The Golden Compass
We only get a third of a dance with the cool special effects. The rest is just a big cold meander. What would my animal spirit be if I had one? It would probably be something uncool, like a regular cat with a bunch of eye-boogers or a chicken. Everybody would be hanging out with their tigers and falcons and I'd come in and they'd say "Hey look, it's Loland and his chicken." And the chicken would have a French accent, too. Even if there was magic, life would still be the same.

No Country for Old Men
Good, except old men actually love country.
German name: Blut Simplen

National Treasure: Book of Secrets
No Rock II? No Face/Off II? No 9mm? This is the one?

Alvin and the Chipmunks
Alternate Title: From Sarcastic Skateboarder to Scientologist Schlockmeister: The Jason Lee Story

The Bucket List
I would rather listen to the guy upstairs beat his dog than see this film. It's actually pretty funny because it's a little dog and he is an old man and he has to chase it to hit it.

What's up with Hayden Christensen?


.
Sure, he's dreamy, but he can barely speak. He couldn't act his way through soaking wet toilet paper. He's really really bad. Keanu bad. They shouldn't have let Keanu ruin all the movies he ruined. He's a blight. They should have stopped him after Dracula. They should have stopped him when they found out that "Keanu" was a Hawaiian word meaning "wooden." Hayden and Keanu are ruiners of movies. Ruiners!

I'm trying to get into the story while watching Jumper. I'm not a slacker. I'm doing the work! But every time this Hayden comes on screen, me and my suspension of disbelief get thrown right off the rail. He just mouths his lines with a thousand yard stare, like a kid reading a report to the class. I can't stop thinking "What the hell is going on with the people who make these movies that they can't see how bad he is?" Teleportation! And I can't even get into it.

He is too disrupting to the fourth wall, even a fourth wall as solid as science fiction's. Put him in the chick flicks. An audience of ladies would be too busy thinking about breaking off a piece of his man-candy to mind his monotone delivery and the glassiest of stares.

William Gibson wrote Johnny Mnemonic, which featured Keanu Reeves as a man with no human emotions, or something. Gibson's next work to be filmed, Neuromancer, will star Hayden Christensen. Why doesn't William Gibson get some sort of rider on his next big movie contract that they have to hire a legitimate actor and not some boy toy with dead eyes?

.
Rachel Bilson isn't very good either,
but I'm going to go ahead and give her a pass.
You go, RB!

Can you catch? Do you have HBO? Will you be my friend?


I threw a Snicker bar to my friend in a hammock once. Good throw. Good catch. Good friend. I used to ask "Can you catch?" as a kind of cultural watershed. If the response was "Why can't you just bring it to me?" then they were dead to me, a waste of my precious time.

Now I ask "Do you like The Wire?" You can tell me you only watch real things like reality shows or that The Wire is on the same time as The Reese Preeber Hour, and then that will be it.

The difference between The Wire and anything else on television is like the difference between my fist and your mom's fat ass. The difference between Baltimore and Maryland.

What is especially jarring is the non-token role of blacks. No wisecracking butlers, no sassy mamas, no wise old gelded black men. Television, beblacked yet unWayansed. Multi-faceted roles, Africa-black actors. Should that be jarring? It is frigging insane, for television.
