Mel Gibson in ...

The Passion of the Hate. Oh, wait, that's not right. Lethal Words 5, no .... 3 bottles and a little Nazi; still not right. 7 Drinks of Highly Inflamitory Speakers. "Rolling down the street smoking mary, sippin' on gin, hate Jews. Laid waste. With my mind on my money and my money on my mind."

Now, every Mel Gibson-starring movie has rewatchability, where can you spot the predujice/bigotry?

Right there! Did you hear it? Right there! He said it again! He's making schwastikas with his fingers. Since he's not American Indian, I'll suspect it's not a peace/life sign (or the plains Indians ankh).

prediction, about which I hope I'm wrong

There is a "big" story -- or rather a topic about which the media discusses ad nauseum, kidknapped baby, 9 days old. The mother was visciously attacked, the baby stolen. The mother said that she didn't know the attacker. I would guess it was a cult thing and that the baby will not be found ... or found alive.

--- as far as another story ----

There was a 14 year-old kidknapped for days (nearly two weeks), not treated as kidknapping. She got a hold of the perp's cellphone and txt messaged her mother, which lead to her rescue. Now then ... the perp had several bunkers he built to elude police, white male; victim hispanic female ... (generally the rule is sexual predators TEND to stay within their own "race"). What's disturbing is: why was she never listed as kidknapped or that as a possiblity? The aunt they had made a simple statement in distress, relief that her neice was rescued, "Any child should be listed as kidknapped when missing". I won't agree to that, but after a certain number of days, missing is correct and unless there are indications that she'd leave/run away, then law enforcement should consider abduction as a possiblity.

In the second case, the perp has a very tall neck, whereupon hanging him until dead might prove a problem. ("I can't hangs 'em. The one's got no neck and the other one's too light to hang")+ I suggest killing that ass in the same woods he had bunkers and promptly return the biomass to the planet for re-absorption. "I promise I won't kill you, until I get your confession." "That's not very reassuring." ++

"We're going there to kill them, right? Not to study, not to bring back, but to kill them." +++

He's being charged with many things including sex crimes, so ... we know why he abducted her, as if I couldn't have guessed that. I quite frankly don't see the point in processing the person, with paperwork.

"Wait! You don't need that! I'll give tell anything you want!"
"Of course you will."++++

more Celebrity fiction

If they were to remake Arthur, I would suggest Johnny Depp for two reasons: his playing a drunken pirate has given him able experience in doing a drunk, and also that I'm not interested in seeing Arthur Redeux or a Johnny Depp movie (with helpful additions by Tim Burton). George Clooney would be a good bet, but he lack physical comedy.

celebrity fiction

Announcing evolution of the toy. Moving from the shelf, Tickle Me Elmo, there should be Tickle me: celebrity name here. I would choose Tickle Me Kari Byron, or Tickle Me Angie Harmon. No, no, no. Although it's for Christmas, these are for adults. Ask Santa for yours today!

Pope's fiasco

Look, it was a lovely piece of fish and all I said was, "this meal is fit for Mohammad". [stoning ensues].

Hold it! Hold it! No one and I repeat, no one is to throw any stones until I blow this whistle. Even, and let me make this absolutely clear, even if they mention the name, "Mohammad" [stoning ensues]

......... next itme up for bid ..........

I saw a MSNBC discussions on Guantanimo Bay detainees and their treatment. What they were bellyaching about was far kinder than some prisoners receive. I submit: loud noises, extreme temperatures, sleep deprevation, poor quality food (not the case here) are all standard in the course of captivity and warfare. They are allowed to exercise religion, in prayer five times daily toward Mecca, which in their world heracy is met with death. Prisoners would meet no such guarantee of prayer if they were American.

To this, an American general or seargent remarked that the Taliban and Al-Quada didn't take many prisoners, favoring to behead them (noting many videos of prisoner executions).

I think if they want something about which to complain, then the US should be obliging, starting with denial of prayer time ever, denial of legal services (for none would be granted with a role reversal). We could, but shouldn't , also behead a few on video for failing to provide reasonable information.

I found this on my short trip for soothing, cooling photography. Apparently the spider either was dead or didn't care that this beetle was snacking on a stored prey item in the web. It makes sense that there would be prey theft in the insect world, I just had never thought about it.

No, Goran, but he's with us tonight to sing a very special very of "Diamonds Are Forever". I couldn't help but want to capture the moment from this intentionally serious Star Trek episode, "Arena" with one of the silliest looking aliens.

Kirk narrowly escaped. His big error was trying to kick the very slow opponent. The "zzzz" ing and, "Stop running. I will be merciful .... quick". He also laughs with a "zzzz" sound.

By the way, Sleeslack was from Land of the Lost 70's Saturday morning show.

Gone missing

Looking for jobs on Monster and Regionalhelpwanted I found absolutely nothing on the 17th. How is that flippin' possible? Not a single job posted for 50-100 miles of my zip. I can't believe that the records department got that right. Anyway, disappointment!

Menard's simple

Hat's off to Menards Hardware for making a return the fastest, easiest ever. I can't remember or think of a faster exchange. They took the item, scanned, credited credit card all within 2 minutes, without a question as to why it was returned. That, my friends, is a great simple policy. The part returned didn't fit and made it impossible to use other, more important items. So, thanks Menards!
