“Three French hens?
Two turtle doves?
A partridge in a pear tree??
All I wanted was an iPad, you cheap bastard!”

(And that’s why true love needs a Gold Card)

Thanks Kat.

Quote of the Day:

“(…) Every dictatorship, from left to right, practice censorship and use blackmail, intimidation and bribery in order to control the flow of information. One can measure the democratic health of a nation by evaluating the diversity of opinions, the freedom of expression and the critical spirit of its media.”

Mario Vargas Llosa, Nobel prize winner in Literature 2010.

  1. On the Cosmic Log’s Alan Boyle…
    Good morning Mr. & Mrs. North and South America and all the ships at sea… we go to press!

    Quoting from Cosmic Log – Movie meddles with moon mission

    Alan Boyle: “The movie trailer for “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” remixes the Apollo 11 moon mission to add aliens. It’s definitely fun stuff — the only problem is, some folks just might actually take it seriously.”

    Larry Sessions (Comments): “Man, don’t we have enough conspiracy theorist garbage to deal with already? I find this very annoying and I am disappointed in Spielberg on this one. I really hope that it starts with a major disclaimer.”

    The Blessed (Comments): “It’s one thing to take an historical event and make up a sci-fi or sci-fantasy alternate reality for said event — quite another to remake the historical event in order to fit your sci-fi alternate reality.”

    Wow, what a fun bunch these guys are! Boyle even starts by admitting to himself that it is JUST a movie, but then closes with a fear that someone might actually take these Transformers, which were a adolescent toy long before they were on film, or their sci-fi merging into a real event that happened over 40 years ago, seriously!

    Hmmm. Mercury Theater? Orson Wells? War of the Worlds? 1938?

    No.

    Santa Claus? Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer? The Grinch!!!

    No, no, no.

    Excuse me Alan, but… where have you been while Hollywood has churned out generation after generation of vampire and zombie flick? Just ask the average age-of-majority, drinking-and-voting 21-year-old and there will be those who will confess to believing in at least one of them!

    I mean, Alan! These people are voting for President of the United States! Don’t you and your merry band of boring, lifeless brainiacs feel the sudden urge to run into the streets, screaming and pulling your hair out by the roots?

    The world is doomed, man! Head for the hills!

    (Moment of silence)

    Ahem. I feel much better now, thank you.

    Have a nice day 🙂

    It’s about time those animals get over their primitive racism. They should have learned long ago that being understanding of others is a virtue. Prejudice based on the color of someone’s fur is no longer acceptable.

  3. Five golden pills…

    Not true, you could eat them! Unless of course you are vegetarian, then you can open a petting zoo 😉

    1. But…
      but without an iPhone to take pics of them and upload them to your Facebook page, how will you share it with your friends? it would be socially unconfirmed and thus invalidated 😉
