Let the summer flow
through marigold meadows
And let the flowers glow
Let their petals
Illuminate like
starry windows
Like honeyed halos
Over marigold meadows
Where the lovers go
Where they tread ever so slow
Through the parquetry nettles
Of dandelion gold
They lay their heads on the beds
of the heather that highlights
the show and the marigolds
grow; and there they tender
their loves regrowth as the
zephyr blows; and there they
sparkle as they sow their hearts to
the ether of their shimmering afterglow
In marigold meadows
Where the maggots fester
far below

A Drover walks into a bar with
a pet crocodile by his side.
He puts the crocodile up on the bar.
He turns to the astonished patrons.
‘I’ll make you a deal. I’ll open this crocodile’s mouth and place my manhood inside.
Then the croc will close his mouth for one minute.
‘Then he’ll open his mouth and I’ll remove my unit unscathed.
In return for witnessing this spectacle, each of you will buy me a drink.’
America’s national debt is so large, it doesn’t even fit on most calculators. Western Colorado real estate developer Matt Miles says he was concerned that no one in government, nor most Americans, had ever seen the number. So he made a new calculator. Read the rest of this entry »
More than one million American men have gone through needless treatment for prostate cancer since the PSA test became common more than 20 years ago, a medical journal study says.
And the study’s author says Canadian men face the same problem of “overdiagnosis,” causing them to have surgery and radiation treatment that can cause impotence, incontinence and pain. Read the rest of this entry »
When I was asked to go jet boating in Pemberton with extreme skiing legend Eric Pehota, it was sort of a no brainer. The man has done the unthinkable on skis for more than 20 years, so why wouldn’t you want to rip down a network of glacial rivers with a certified adrenaline junkie? Read the rest of this entry »
The Mobile Library – In Japan reading eBooks while on the go is already a big trend. People enjoy to read all kinds of stories while sitting e.g. in the subway train or at the beach.

The Jewish-born political revolutionary Fanny Kaplan was shot at the age of 28 for an attempted assassination of Vladimir Lenin. She approached the Leader near a Moscow factory and fired three shots at him. One passed through Lenin’s coat, the other two hit him in the left shoulder and jaw.
Lenin survived, but his health never fully recovered from the attack and it is believed the shooting contributed to the strokes that incapacitated and later killed him. Kaplan’s implication in the crime is recorded in textbooks and encyclopedias, but some historians question the actual role of Fanny Kaplan in it and many consider the “Kaplan legend” as another Bolshevik canard.
Camel Sticks come in the form of a stick, hence the clever name “Stick.” Camel Orbs are fun little pellets of poison. Camel Strips bear a resemblance to those Listerine breath strip thing-a-ma-fucks.
It is the general consensus amongst non-smokers that those who do partake of the tobacco, which is laced with many deadly, yet delicious chemicals, neatly wrapped in pretty paper, are the literal equivalent to the literal scum that resides on this earth. In the name of health, and in efforts to rid our society of such foulness, or merely to straight up piss off highly addicted, murderously stressed to fuck smokers, bars and night clubs across the nation continue to ban smoking within their establishments. So, not only are smokers shunned by McDonald’s and other choke ‘n’ puke eateries, but they are also segregated from their fellow booze hounds and barflies. Boohoo!
Fortunately, leading tobacco manufacturer and evil genius, R.J. Reynolds, has devised a brilliant solution that will benefit both smokers and non.

"The greatest evil is not done in those sordid dens of evil that Dickens loved to paint ... but is conceived and ordered ( moved, seconded carried and minuted ) in clear, carpeted, warmed, well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices"
-- C.S. Lewis [1898-1963]

"You are talking to a leftist. I believe in the redistribution of wealth and power in the world. I believe in universal hospital care for everyone. I believe that we should not have a single homeless person in the richest country in the world. And I believe that we should not have a C.I.A. that goes around overwhelming governments and assassinating political leaders, working for tight oligarchies around the world to protect the tight oligarchy here at home."
