I'M TELLING MERI ON YOU

Meri stopped caring about derspeiss' antiquated notions a while ago. He can believe what he wants, and if he gets to heaven, I can only hope that The Goddess That Rules only smites him a little. :)

That's cute :)

Heh, getting out of the car is always an interesting escalation point.

Read that as "Russian dachacam" at first :D

Quote"Richard M. Nixon is escorted by RoboCop at a national board meeting of the Boys Club of America. The RoboCop character was on hand to call attention to Orion Home Video's RoboCop RubOut promotion. The cassette will be available in video stores beginning Jan. 28 for a suggested list price of $89.98."

Malthus

Random morbid bizzare fact of the day: when William Longespée (c. 1176-1226), the illegitimate son of England's King Henry II, was exumed, rumours that he'd been poisioned gained a certain amount of credibility when his skull was found to contain a rat with traces of arsenic in its well-preseved furry little corpse!

http://quigleyscabinet.blogspot.ca/2010/11/rat-bastard.html

Of course the rat may well post-date the nobleman by centuries, and the poision be from another source, but still - at first glance it looks like the rat gnawed itself to a second-hand poisioning death, munching on the noble.

Today I met a kid with what struck me as a truly bizzare name、うらら. Checking up it isn't some modern fangled crap either. Its a real name. Urara. Pronounced very very close to 'Oo la la'.

 Life is adhering very close to my desired goals and objectives; I have only now to preserve my present happiness from fickle and outrageous misfortune. Even should unfortunate events unfold, nothing can be done to erase the experiences and memories I have recently created; I have very little more in the way of ambitions for the tiresome Utsushiyo. I am an extremely happy person.

A final ambition remains, of course, kept in mocking memorial by Raz, which I am even now setting into motion. What remains is only a matter of vetting and grooming.

Read something interesting about McCarthy.  It seems he might have had a thing for young girls.  Very young girls.  Hoover seemed to have some files on him, but they were destroyed shortly before Hoover's death.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
