[...] Bonus (non-Shorter) comment from old-school royalist Mark Noonan at Blogs For Bush: “All good stuff…I’d also add a bit about how Judeo-Christianity is central to western civilization.” ‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. [...]

Okay, I knew some guys in colllege it wasn’t me by any means, who lived in a house just offa campus on the main drag.

Little podunk farmer town with a state college, you know.

They were known to smoke some of that weed on the little front porch from time to time. Again, NOT ME. I was never there when they did.

They would throw the seeds – SO I’M TOLD- over the railing into the bushes.

Every summer, eventually tall bushes would grow out of the plants, standing as much as four feet exposed, fully visible from the street.

COMPLETELY unrecognized by the cops.

Not me, I’ll remind you.

Dammit, I go away for one day — ONE DAY — and this place turns into freakin’ Ground Force.

Fortunately, I came back with lots of bricks. I’m starting with Gavin, so the rest of you, please stand quietly in line and wait your turn.

Were citizens of the Soviet Union fooled this easily by state-controlled media?
—
If you read Vaclav Havel’s book “Disturbing the Peace” the answer would probly be no. Based upon Havel’s experience in Czechoslovakia in the 1950s, 60s and 1970s the state media was considered a joke, in the sense that everyone knew that it was completely controlled by the Communist Party, and therefore was fairly enriched with propaganda. The trick became reading between the lines or relying upon word of mouth and samizdat to have a basis of comparison. Sort of like this website right now.

They sell 20x salvia in freakin malls now? Jebus. That stuff is still the most intense psychedelic experience i’ve ever had. I can’t imagine the poor kids who before even smoking good hash get that at hot topic. It really shouldn’t be available for the unexperienced.
There should be a license to trip. They give you a small amount of shrooms and lock you in a padded room with your ipod and see if you can handle it. If not, no hallucinogens. If yes, go for it. Dammit. Does real acid even exist anymore?

I swear-to-Jeebus once saw a black helicopter over Boston with the intials “UN” on it. Like, for real.

No, I didn’t run for cover or hang lanterns in the North End. No, I was not smoking yard clippings, mullein, artemisia, lamb’s ears or lamb’s breath (for shame…) at the time. I merely started laughing my ass off, and then wondered if someone’s egging people on or, conversely, putting people on. Massachusetts is home to the Massachusetts News, after all.

Aside: They just axed a longtime local radio show from the RI market (“Ahlene” Violet, our own homegrown nun-turned-Democrat-turned-pol-turned-talker for the past 16 years) and are replacing her with Sean Hannity. And something something something Noonan smokes mullein the dog pooped on, and probably wears combat boots like yo mama. No offense to Mikey. Or anyone else whose combat boots got dirty with actual dirt, not merely beoranged by Cheetodusts and bestickied with blood-red Code Red.

The white shirts come in plain-jane fords and have ID that say “Federal Bureau of Investigation” or “BATF”. They have been at my door quite a few times. The black helicopters live only in the fevered imagination of sad, broken little men…

Hope that clears it up for you…

Thanks Mikey, for not getting all Gavin on me.
I do have one question (well lots actually but on for now):
Do the white shirts come before or after the black helicopters?

My life can pretty much be defined by the Michael Pare line from “Streets of Fire”:

“I didn’t get no medals, but I liked to shoot their guns”

Well, not to go all gavin on you, but ANFO includes an oxidizer, so if you could get it to initiate it would go boom. You’d have to seal it up with an internal detonator, but it wouldn’t be that hard. But if you buy any serious quantities of AN and you don’t have, like a big farm, you’re gonna get a visit from the white shirts, bay bee…

One can also catch fish using shock and trawl.

By: ironicname

ironicname — Fri, 08 Dec 2006 00:38:18 +0000

Yeah, but mikey, what if your explosive of choice is ammonium nitrate?
Only a true master could fish with that stuff.

By: mikey

mikey — Fri, 08 Dec 2006 00:35:41 +0000

If you have chemical initiators, (waterproof fuse is an oxymoron) a hunk o’ C4 in a pond or lake will float all kinds of fish to the top, and all you have to do is go around picking the ones you like…

damnit – I can never remeber those tags.
Well, there are worst ways to look stupid I suppose.

[i]Itâ€™s an easy way to catch fish â€” you toss something noxious in the water and collect the ones that are stunned and float to the surface. Good survival tool if youâ€™re in an emergency and need to find food quickly. Otherwise a really, really bad idea environmentally.[/i]

So, its sort of like organic cyanide fishing. Those crazy colonials.

Noonan is stoopid.

High Noonan, all right.

If only you could blame it on a foreign substance… nope, it’s actually the way he thinks.

Noonan is 40 years old !?!?! WTF

I always thought that site was the lunatic ranting of some college kid, a young GOOPER so insulated from reality by his church and the College Republicans he couldn’t think straight. Either that, or some brown-nosing kid trying to get a spot with the national party.

A couple years in reality doesn’t turn those kids completely, but once they realize they actually have to live and work with non-whites, non-evangelicals, and people afflicted with teh gay, they tend to calm down the rhetoric a little bit.

The fact that Noonan is old enough to know better doesn’t make him funny, it makes him sad.
