A teacher says to his pupil-
“I have a stick, and if you stand there, I’m going to beat you with it. And if you run, I’m going to chase you and hit you with the stick. So are you going to stand there or are you going to run?”

And the pupil replies, “I’m going to take the stick away.”

do you believe in the existence of evil? if not, do you believe in the possibility of the existence of evil even though it clashes with your personal beliefs? does it matter to you that I have not defined “evil” in the context of this question? are you comfortable just answering it from your own understanding of “evil”?

an early merry christmas, my darlings…

and my gift to you: oh baby, pass the butter.

the person who told me said, “passed away”
and all I could think was “died, not passed away… she DIED.”
she was in remission since august.
she was diagnosed on my birthday.
she was 20 and I loved her.
I still love her.

pure FUCKING GENIUS.

the button is already pushed. the nukes are already in the air.

I’d like to make a holiday offering of something that perennially makes me snort.
years ago Princess Lisa aptly renamed a movie we were discussing, renamed it for some now forgotten wank:
Crouching Tiger, Preening Fuckwit.
always makes me laugh.

Life is such a weird thing, the way we experience time. I want to know right now if I’m in a tragedy or a comedy… but I have to wait till the end to find out!
bugger.
