Hey! That crazy lesbian hit Zeke!

[alexsarll]

At one point in England's Lost Eden, some Victorian or other is quoted as believing in "the sacred liberty of inferior races", a phrase which deserves some kind of award for meaning well yet still managing to miss the point so thoroughly. A more modern equivalent can be found here, wherein an evangelist tries to teach The Kids that, while homosexuality may be "a symptom of our chilly lack of love for God", we certainly shouldn't *hate* the sinful gays, or throw rocks at them. I suppose one should be grateful that it's at least an improvement on godhatesfags.com et al. But isn't it depressing that moderate elements of the bad guys should be cause for joy?
(Still, in among the dialogue which would make Kirby cringe there is the line "Oh! Sebastian! My own baby brother is gay! That's so beautiful!" I can definitely hear that in the voice of certain people I know)

Cooking fascinates me, in a strictly abstract sense. There's some vegetables and some wine and some lumps of quorn...and then strange things are done to them, often with a bit of swearing, and at the end of the process there is Lovely Food. I'm pretty good with some occult arts, but the adepts in this one simply amaze me.

This is the first post this year in which I complain about the heat. There will likely be many more. There's never a giant wolf around when you want one, is there?

St Patrick's Day, isn't it? I like snakes and hate Guinness, and even more than Guinness I hate people wearing Guinness tat. Good job tonight's scheduled for a QNI, really.

Cooking should never involve Quorn.

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

Cooking doesn't involve Quorn.

"Cooking", on the other hand, does.

You what?

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

Oh, sod off and eat a hedgehog or something. Quorn + winebooze + squash + mash = yum, at least in the capable hands of insecuregoddess. If I attempted it, you'd end up with something out of which one could build huts.

in all seriousness, cooking really isn't that difficult. i shall post tomorrow about how i made tonight's lasagne. really really, it is not that hard!

[missfrost.livejournal.com]

Quorn is EVILLE! I actually don't understand the idea of people not being able to cook. You're just not trying.

WHAT HEAT?! Freak of nature.

It is too hot for me to wear my trenchcoat. Hence, it is too hot.

G-to the izzo, OTH-to the izzay!

Another vote for it being too hot...my hoodie almost had to be removed :(

Managing to miss the point just as thoroughly

[perfectlyvague.livejournal.com]

My music teacher at the convent told me off for being racist when I asked my friend, Alexis if he was brown because he had jumped in a puddle (I was 6, it was Wales in 1980, I knew no better) and then in the same lesson gave Alexis the clicking sticks to do the percussion because he was 'bound to have natural rhythm'. (She was 36, it was Wales in 1980, she probably should have known better)

We also had an argument about my inherent racism because I called Paolo (an Italian boy), 'Cornetto' - I had only done this in retaliation to the fact that he had called my best friend, 'Four Eyes Freaky Fiona' which I thought was far worse.

I once got a messageboard closed down with my 'racism', which consisted of complaining about Chuck D's love of that scumfvck Farrakhan. But that wasn't nearly as amusing as the lecturer who, because I expressed a dislike for the would-be nun in Measure for Measure, decided I obviously had "a problem with non-standard female sexuality".

Dear Lord, that's genuinely one of the most bizarre confusing tracts I've ever seen. At least Jack Chick makes it quite clear and concise what the deal is. By page four of that I had no idea who was the good shining Christian and who was arguing for what.

I know. One almost expects a twist, doesn't one? And I love the bit where he gives a scriptural reference for "AAAARRRHH!"

[publicansdecoy.livejournal.com]

Gah, yes, I was actually perspiring slightly when I arrived in work this morning. Granted, that's because I jogged form the tube station to make it on time, but still.

DOWN WITH THIS SORT OF THING.

[burnyourbones.livejournal.com]

According to that comic strip "How about we avoid your usual religious baloney" is from Matthew 10:36.
I'm sure I never saw that when I was being forced to read the bible at my catholic primary school.
Nor was "I promised Mom and Aunt Dolorous I'd look out for you guys" in John 15:13.

In other news I must join the good fight in favour of Quorn, for it am yum.

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

Yes, they do seem to be quoting from a very strange translation...

[burkesworks.livejournal.com]

What the hell is this translation from? I have a KJV Bible in front of me, along with a Douai-Rheims version and a copy of Cruden's Concordance, and nowhere, not even in the Apocrypha, do I see a book of Bill and/or Ted, from which this appears to come.

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

Greg just did that gag! Although admittedly with less bibliographic detail.

[gregjames.livejournal.com]

Right, just finished that comic. What a load of old b*llocks. Bible-bashing via anime *urgh* Sacrilege! Burn the heretics!

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

quorn's tested on animals you know...

(courtesy the "use other facts, please" department)

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

Lucky animals. I wish I had a job which consisted solely of eating Quorn.

small brain=can only concentrate on subject line.

...which has taken my mind to The Faculty. and it won't go anywhere else now. so thank you. (I love The Faculty, it's a hugely underrated movie).

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

I really enjoyed that film, especially the subversive edge to it (jocks are evil! taking drugs saves the Earth!) but hadn't thought of it in months - until earlier today, when I entered a listing for a club which had a live band called The Faculty playing.
