Your Opinion Is Wrong™

...not one of those.

Anybody know where that Other Guy from Nirvana ended up? I know I didn't, so in case anybody else wasn't aware, click on his name.

Well, Saturday night went alright. Mixing cocktails ain't anywhere near as hard as it looks*. Few showed up, but that was to be expected. What was not expected was that half of those who showed up were not drinkers, either for driving purposes or Otherwise, leaving about six of us to drink everything Craig bought** for the night.

So, yeah. Lots of leftovers.

*You heard me, Lucas. Competition.

**That'd be most of the local bottleshop for those who haven't been bragged at via twitter.

I'm writing thi post o a ee pc. It' blod yawesoeme but the keyboard s terribl.

more to come later when i
m at my deskto pc.

Ah, whut? After hearing somebody (I think it was Lucas) confirm that Rolcats.com had updated with a bit of new stuff (in typical rolcats fashion, at an approximate rate of a picture a month), I go there to check it out.

I recognise the first thing that's up there from when I was there last. I check to see when abouts that was...

The picture was posted in April.

It would seem that post-modern-soviet-kitten-humour is dead. Long live post-modern-soviet-kitten-humour.

"Another text, Health Benefits of the Bedchamber, indicates that certain times were better for intercourse than others. A person had to avoid having intercourse on quarter or full moons and on days when there were great winds, rain, fog, cold or heat, thunder, lightning, darkness over heaven and earth, solar and lunar eclipses, rainbows and earthquakes. Having intercourse at these times would harm a man's spirit and would cause women to become ill. Children conceived at these times would be mad, stupid, perverse or foolish; mute, deaf, crippled or blind; unfilial and violent."


I'd like to dissect this passage, as it seems to be riddled with ambuguity.

Firstly, regarding weather and geological phenomena, we probably shouldn't take things into consideration without due proximity. If you consider that these conditions frequently occur around the globe on a rotating roster, you'd never get any, regardless of where you lived. However, by only considering local events (say, on a national or state or community level - take your pick depending on how desperate you are), if - worst-case scenario - you live in the tropics, you'd still increase your days suitable for fornication from 'None' to 'A Couple Of Days'. That's gotta be a good thing.

And what about 'cold or heat'? That's a little unsettling. Is this relative to the average temperature of the area, or just when you feel a little chilly? Should it apply to everyone in the room (even non-participants), or the room itself? What about if any implements or tools were to be used? Would we have to obstain if a buckle was too icy? Whichever way you're willing to swing, I guess while this doesn't eliminate food entirely, it does mean that sautees are not on the menu*.

And 'darkness over heaven and earth' better not just mean 'At Night'. If it does, I'm screwed**.

And Rainbows? What?! Ones generated through natural phenomena, or should we turn off garden sprinklers just in case?

Also, I've never done it during an earthquake, but I might like to try it, despite this passage. Yeah, couldn't let that one go.


*Sorry.

**So to speak.

Online Kanji lookup tool: A great way to develop the skill of writing chinese/japanese characters purely by chance.

Warning: It'll take a while. Probably longer than learning the characters.

From a textbook that I'm reading from:

Japanese (n): The devil's own tongue designed to thwart the spread of Christianity.

edit:

When I submitted this post, Blogger came up with an ad (is that a new thing, or did I just not notice before?*). It read:

New Emerging Religion
No thanks. Any religion to emerge in the 20th century is bound to be dodgy**.

*Or do I just not post enough?

**Except Oprahism, naturally.
