nyquist Spiders and petrol Fri 27th Jun 2003, 15:29 link
I have a spider who's taken up home on the right hand side wing-mirror of my car. Sometimes, on a morning on the way into work, I like to tease him out by lightly tapping the silk of his web. I then watch him come out to eat the fly that's just landed in his web, he gets to the point I touched and finds no fly. He then turns around and goes back behind the wing mirror. I laugh. What a cruel world. He's probably going to die soon. Maybe if he had some oil to offer in exchange I might be persuaded to supply him with just enough flies to keep him alive and healthy enough to build a refinery behind my wing-mirror and supply a feed of petrol to the petrol tank of my car. That'd make driving to work and back much cheaper. It would y'know.
nyquist What do you get from a glut of tv? A pain in the neck and an IQ of 3... Tue 3rd Jun 2003, 09:03 link
Saw this headline on BBC News this morning:
"US INTELLIGENCE INQUIRY"

'bout time too...

nyquist Breaking (your fucking heart) News Mon 24th Mar 2003, 08:08 link
Five american marines captured by Iraqi forces are shown on Iraqi TV:
Initial reports from the DoD deny any missing or captured troops by stating "no american troops are unaccounted for".
Well, of course they're not. They saw the footage also; they know exactly where they are....that is, somewhere in Iraq, possibly just 'the Middle East region' being held by Iraqi forces, or possibly just Al Jazeera TV.

Bush quickly condemns the footage stating it breaks the Geneva Convention on the treatment of PoW's. If you didn't catch Bush stuttering half-way through his sentence, here it is again:
"The eraquee treatment of the pee-oh-dubbleyahs is a clear breach of the geneva convenshon. We expect, erm, for them to be treated, erm, just like we treat the pee-oh-dubbleyahs that we captured."
Oh, so you'd expect them to be tied up, tortured, beaten, blind-folded and paraded round on rusty stetchers just like you did with the prisoners at camp X-Ray? Oh, that's right, you redefined those prisoners so they weren't considered PoW's and thus didn't fall under the Geneva Convention. Maybe Saddam should take a leaf out of your book you evil fuck.

Terry Lloyd, a veteran war reporter is believed dead:
In a tragic accident; coalition forces are found to have shot and killed ITN news reporter Terry Lloyd despite their truck having the letters 'TV' printed on all sides of the vehicle. I guess they were texan, or Bush supporters; either way, completely illiterate, which would explain the assasination, erm, accident.

Missiles misfire:
Reports claim 2 missiles misfire and land in Turkey, other stations also report misfires landing in Iran. How the americans conspire to miss a target with an area of 438,317 sq km defeats me also.

Words Redefined:
For those of you not up with the new Bush/Blair jargon here it is. The 'Coalition' is us; they can't really say 'allied forces'; since that would indicate some sort of UN lead force which would make this thing wholly legal.
When the DoD or MoD say 'none unaccounted for'; expect several dead.
The 'Elite Republican Guard' is really any civilians the americans shoot and kill, and then posthumously decide are republican guard. They of course, can back up these claims as while the cameramen weren't watching the newbie of the commando team writes 'Eleet Gruad' in crayon on their shirts.

Protests in America:
In an effort to confuse the public, the American administration pays off thousands of civilians to make a 'Pro-War march'. This coincides with an Anti-War march; all of a sudden everyone gets confused and goes home to watch American Gladiators thanking God for giving them the choice to live in a 'Free Country'.

Oil Prices Rise:
"Whoopee, lets kill some more coalition forces" say exchange markets from around the world as the headline "Oil and Gold prices increase as coalition casualties rise" is announced.

And some final words for those who were switching between the Oscars and your local 24 hour new channel last night, aka "I made this one up earlier":
"Tom Cruise missile found ineffective due to short range".

So, cigarette adverts were banned today.

How ever am I going to remember to buy some more baccy?
My first answer would be, maybe, the fucking raging need I get from withdrawl when I don't have a cig every hour...

Erm, do we not think, that maybe, cigarettes are, erm, addictive? Perchance?
Should it not thus be treated like any other addiction?

You know, I haven't seen any adverts for herion recently, but it seems like the use of that is spiralling out of control quite rapidly. I personally can't wait until we have a 'War' 'on' 'Drugs'; 'cos, y'know it's not like you can buy drugs on the streets of America anymore, is it?

nyquist Happy Fucking New Year! Thu 2nd Jan 2003, 10:28 link
In the spirit of Susan's christmas pseudo-boycott; here's a list of the shit i'm not giving up for new years:
  • Smoking
  • Drinking
  • Driving fast
  • Loud music
  • Eating Meat
And just so I end up doing something this year, here's a list of stuff I might start doing:
  • Randomly shouting at people
  • Shaving swear words into my hair
  • Collecting various coloured pieces of 'fluff' (tm)
nyquist I'm an old man Fri 22nd Nov 2002, 10:30 link
I realised yesterday I was a fifty-something in a twenty-something's body....

Eew, being a fifty year old man stuck in a twenty year-old (I wonder what the parents would say...).

However, I also realised I don't know enough, even for a fifty year-old. I want to know now what I should know in four years. Or be four years younger and know what I know now. (I don't know why four years, round figure I guess)

I don't think i'm that knowledgeable to be honest.(When I say knowledge, I mean the stuff that people think is true because it fits in with the logic of all the other supposedly true stuff (id est, theory masquerading as fact)).

Note to self: Must add time-travel and brain interface capability to rsync.

Note to self: This will probably have to wait four years until I know C
