What's humiliating

What's humiliating is when somebody emails you nasty pictures but then mis-spells your name and they end up in a peer's mailbox.

.. and the guy wasn't even all that attractive either. Good think Karl's a good sport about it.

Belgian pensioner killed by his own booby-trap

Indiana Jones And the Bungalo of Doom

"We have never come across anything like it before. It was all fiendishly clever. The house was booby-trapped from top to bottom. We've had to take everything apart,"

(no subject)

1. Whgat time do you get up in the morning?
   
   Generally about 7AM on weekdays. Stumble into the shower, grab breakfast and slump out the door by 8.
   
   
2. If you could eat lunch with one famous person, who would it be?
   
   One of the following:
   • Richard D. James
   • Jon Katz
   • Noam Chomsky
   • Tad Mullinix
   • Joshua Davis
   
   
3. Gold or Silver?
   
   It's the 21st century, they're such worthless metals these days. There's nothing special visually about them that can't be synthesized. I prefer the qualities of stain-less steel, carbon fiber, titanium or aluminum.
   
   
4. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?
   
   I can't remember, haven't been lately. Been renting lots.
   
   
5. Favorite TV Shows?
   
   In not particular order:
   • While you were out
   • Trading Spaces
   • Media Television
   • Star Trek: Enterprize (I'm a geek and damn fuckin' proud of it!)
   • The new music
   
   
6. What do you have for breakfast?
   
   I'm the sorta guy who has to have a power breakfast or else by 10AM I'm dead. I usually have a bowl or two of Cream of Wheat or Oatmeal when I have time, a banana and some yogurt. I drink my coffee on the bus to school.
   
   
7. What do you hate to be left in a room with?
   
   Guilt, pain, fear or strong smells.
   
   
8. Can you touch your nose with your tongue?
   
   Nope, not even by cheating..
   
   
9. What inspires you?
   
   Creation, depth and drive. Oh and love. No seriously. As cliché as it may sound love can be very inspiring.
   
   
10. What is your middle name?
    
    Noble
    
    
11. Beach, city or country?
    
    Probably the city right now.
    
    
12. Summer or winter?
    
    Summer by a hair. I'm solar powered.
    
    
13. Favourite ice cream?
    
    I'm partial to citrus italian ice or sorbet. When I do have ice cream it has to be the most decadent frozen sugar goo known to man like chocolate marshmellow and peanut butter fudge or something.
    
    
14. Buttered, plain or salted popcorn?
    
    Definitely buttered with salt. If you're gonna have popcorn I say go all out. Screw that goop made from recycled records they pour on at the movie theatre.
    
    
15. Favourite colour?
    
    Do I really have to choose? I'm more partial to combinations. Charcol grey and bright neon green. Cream and burgundy. You get the idea. I like textures too.
    
    
16. Favourite car?
    
    Love VW's attention to detail. The PT cruiser and Mini always turn my head. Love hybrid electrics too. I'm a big guy who likes small cars.
    
    
17. Favourite sandwhich filling?
    
    Probably pastrami or pb&j. Love a nice smoked turkey too. Mmmm.
    
    
18. True love?
    
    Entirely possible. Maybe more than one.
    
    
19. What characteristics do you despise most?
    
    Shallow and transparent people. People who obviously only want something from you. Be it sex, your connections to other people or material items. It's the deceit and feinged sincerity that I find the most damaging and therefore insulting.
    
    
20. Favourite flower?
    
    I love chrysanthemums this time of year. They smell great and last through the ever colder weather.
    
    
21. If you had a big win in the lottery, how long would you wait to tell people?
    
    To be honest I'm not sure I'd tell anyone for a while. I'd help family and friends when they needed it but when people know you have money the change. Even the most loyal of friends to some degree.
    
    
22. Fizzy or still water as a drink?
    
    Do I have to choose? They both have advantages.
    
    
23. What colour is your bathroom?
    
    Formerly gold and white. It's fugly but that's what you get for living in a place built in the 70s. Now only the bath tub and toilet is gold. More like bile yellow really.
    
    
24. How many keys on your key ring?
    
    Three. House, old house and garage.
    
    
25. Where would you retire to?
    
    A house in Nova Scotia in a small town by the ocean.
    
    
26. Can you juggle?
    
    Sorta kinda. Not really.
    
    
27. Favourtie day of the week?
    
    Friday and Thursday as the anticipation of the weekend mounts.
    
    
28. Red or white wine?
    
    Why these choices? There's times that call for white and times that call for a red. It's a matter of context.
    
    
29. What did you do for your last birthday?
    
    Friends took me to a super-trendy club in Toronto, got me sloshed on shots and danced to Jazzy house, shocked straight people by kissing Greg on the dance floor while 2001: A Space Odyessy played on a big video screen behind us. The hetero-clubbers clapped for us though. It was awesome.
    
    
30. Do you carry a donor card?
    
    Yes, it's part of my ontario health card.
    
    
31. Who do you least expect to send this back to you?
    
    cub4bear
    
    
32. Who is the person you expect to send this back first?
    
    No idea.

Hot Men

Ever seen a man that you could barely keep yourself from jumping in a horny orgy of hyper-directed lust? Today at the supermarket there was this beautiful man. Easily 6'3", burly with a thick s&p beard, short hair and wearing a yarmulke (or "yamaca" for the non-yiddish speaking). I'm not sure what it is but I've always found myself very attracted to Orthodox and Conservative Jewish men. There seems to be a genetic lineage of hairy, smart, spiritual, bearded and (as my extensive field research has proven) hung men.. how can you go wrong?!

Christ that man was beautiful.
