I think I'm going to quietly slip off the raft...

Hmm, I'm considering Slow Chocolate Autopsy.

Has anyone else had any experience with it?

After Disney sued Marvel comics in the 70s (or was it the 80s?) Howard the Duck had to start wearing pants.

I beginning to think they might have had a point.

A friend of my mum's used to do that once a year.

But that may have been so she could send out Xmas cards for free.

Of course, I have an ulterior motive.

That's hardly unreasonable when the Weegee life expectancy for men is 47.

End gender segregation now!

Seems pointless to divide people into those categories unless they are discussing something in relation to religion.

Ah well if people want to discuss politics rather than religion - they can follow their bliss.

Namaste.

Was anyone here ever not talking cordially with religious people? Most would even share voting patterns with these populations. Which makes for some kind of detente. Is there a new set of criteria for sorting the wheat from the chaff? Or just a reordering of priorities? All I can say is that an ex-c...

That reminds me - I must watch 'Oh What a Lovely War' again.

And I always thought that 'Christian Onion' was a reference to Veggie Tales

Ah well, alternatives are available. To whit - I watched 'Performance' last night (which I'd not seen in years). Enjoyed it very much - though I'm not sure it has been fisked by the current pro & anti's to determine if it has the correct degree of moral rectitude. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgg...

He certainly caused quite a bit of 'Sturm und Drang' even a Bliztkreig - but I don't think it got quite to the level of Ragnarok.

Speaking of movies...is anyone else looking forward to this one?

Ha. Just noticed that Quillette now restricts commenting to members of something called "Quillette Circle." An existing member must invite you to join. No idea how the existing members became members. That's fucked. Think I'll stop reading. Sounds like the Freemasons. Best of luck figuring out what...

What I heard (and it's too good a story not be be true) - is that the Victorians came up with the phrase Sewer Hole Inspection Terminal to be used in place of 'Manhole'.

As long as they are not banning 'manholes' in general - as it could really mess with my daily routine.

At this stage - wouldn't it be fair to classify the IDW as a (at least slightly) right of centre group?

Nah, the one you want to read is Jack Chalker. Maybe something from the Flux and Anchor series. And not Midnight at the Well of Souls - that one's actually a great book.

All SJW public policy is grounded on the false concept that humans are, if not inherently good by nature, then at least tabula rasa thus ever malleable/redeemable. If this were so then it would be difficult, if not impossible for them to make generalisations on the basis of race. I think most of th...
