Our Prime Directive
Kirk had one. He and his inclusive crew of aliens, Mexicans and a Russian, were on a peaceful mission. In keeping with their Prime Directive, Kirk and his inclusive crew, were not to interfere in the lives of any developing alien cultures they came across. No matter how evil their rulers were. No matter how long those evil rulers had been on the Federations payroll.
Our Prime Directive is similar, yet just like Kirk, we end up ignoring it most of the time.
For a good time, call 867-5309. For a good article drawing parallels between Star Trek and our smug misdeeds, go read this article by William Astore at TomDispatch.
Then watch Kirk in action. Apparently, Mr. Astore is painfully correct.
Bust a Move and Eggs
Breakfast from around 1989, boyee.
Reeks of Oscar
And Demi?
Okay, yes I’m jealous.
If only Twentieth Century-Fox Films would pay even more people like Ashton, or me, to travel the world taking pictures of Demi’s ass, while discussing existentialism and Demi’s “quirks” with Mr Willis. Add a Twitter or three about my awesome bowel movements, follow that up with some heartfelt whining over my haters, coupled with yet another movie deal and oh what a beautiful, less expensive world it would be.
Tadgarden does Spoonman
That’s it. My plaid shirts, Artis and I, are moving to Seattle.
Some words from Tom Morello, ” I haven’t been this fucking excited about something in a long time.” Why was Tom so fucking excited? Because he was playing rhythm guitar for three guys. Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron and Ben Sheppard from that little Soundgarden band, from back in the day. Tad Doyle is on the vocals, because Chris Cornell is not.
A much welcomed distraction from the world, such as it is, for us old hair farmers. You can read more about the Tadgarden happening, right here.
Watch, listen and blame Cornell for the poor video quality. It is indeed, better than nothing.
Bailout Demystification
Hot Prison Sausage
I don’t know which is worse. The fact that someone at the Peninsula Daily News wrote about how an inmate had a hankering for hot sausage, or the fact that I am pointing this fact out.
I say, give the inmate who hankered for hot sausage, a big ol atta-boy for trying to cook up some meat in his toilet.
And that’s all I have to say about that.
Baby Beluga
Veterinarians at the Point Defiance animal jail, are trying to figure out why a beluga whale has stopped eating. Raise your hand if you’re thinking what I’m thinking.
The general curator of the zoo actually said this, “These animals are so unique and special, so that’s why we’re pulling out all the stops for him.” Cause like, whales dig living in tanks and we need the revenue. Obviously, the whale just wants to go home. Home used to be Chicago, not the Arctic. Make of that, what you will.
Once the whale dies, I say send the remaining whale somewhere whale friendly. Like Cleveland.
