terrifying and beautiful.

Yeah, metaphores aside, that vid is unbelievable, I've never seen hills melt and move like that.

All this talk of benders reminds me of the hilarious doctor's scene in the first episode of Blackadder 2. It went something like this:

Doctor: I see. So you started fancying boys then, have you?
Edmond Blackadder: Not boys. A boy.
D: Yes, well let's not split hairs. It is all rather disgusting and
naturally you're worried.
E: Of course I'm worried.
D: Well, of course you are. It isn't every day a man wakes up to
discover he's a screaming bender with no more right to live on Gods
clean earth than a weazle. Ashamed of your self?
E: Not really, no.
D: Bloody hell! I would be. But still why should I complain? Just
leaves more rampant totty for us real men, eh?
E: Look, am I paying for this personal abuse or is it extra?
D: No, it's all part of the service. I think you're in luck though. An
extraordinary new cure has just been developed for exactly this kind
of sordid problem.
E: It wouldn't have anything to do with leeches, would it?
D: I had no idea you were a medical man.
E: Never had anything you doctors didn't try to cure with leeches. A
leech on my ear for ear ache, a leech on my bottom for constipation.
D: They're marvellous, aren't they?
E: Well, the bottom one wasn't. I just sat there and squashed it.
D: You know the leech comes to us on the highest authority?
E: Yes. I know that. Dr. Hoffmann of Stuttgart, isn't it?
D: That's right, the great Hoffmann.
E: Owner of the largest leech farm of Europe.
D: Yes. Well, I cannot spend all day gossiping. I'm a busy man. As far
as this case is concerned I have now had time to think it over and I
can strongly recommend a course of leeches.
E: Yes. I 'll pop a couple down my codpiece before I go to bed.
D: No, no, no, no. Don't be ridiculous. This isn't the dark ages. Just
pop four in your mouth in the morning and let them dissolve slowly.
In a couple of weeks you 'll be beating your servant with a stick,
just like the rest of us.
E: You're a sales quack, aren't you?
D: I'd rather be a quack than a ducky. Good day.

so have you jettisoned any pretense of personality now and are just reduced to ossicliating between lusting after knox with crude inneundo and sincerely creepy flattery/posting tidbits of entertainment trivia and news so banal it could come fresh out of some daily mail culture section?

i find it hard to even believe you're real. are you not some cameronian new man nightmare concocted in a freak occurence of satire made flesh? no matter, you're time will come. you'll be considered hip by the revamped tory bbc, and eventually end up like the landlord in mike leigh's naked.

I bet you're a screaming bender as well. You sound like one.

oh man, i was actually in the process of editing that post and trying to give you a break - look - i was trying to work something in along these lines

"but i'm sorry, maybe that blackadder thing was your way of diffusing the tension with some humourous references, by calling the scene hilarious you are managing to seem ok with it in at least a certain context while sidestepping having to answer directly."

but in answer to you're question yes, i am gay and i have screamed before. but when you say that it sounds creepy, like any potentially threatening or aggressiveness to it slowly morphs into - "oh, yes i bet you are a dirty bender aren't you... in need of a good seeing too... yes..." and i get a mental image of boris johnson saying it and... well i can't go any further i'm sorry... i really can't and just don't ever want to come close to that kind of area ever again.

Are you getting all Guardianista on us now?

oh come on, you have to be able to do better than that... that's just crap.

how am i getting gaurdianista? really - explain it because i don't get it.

I know you're dying to call me a homophobe.

i take no enjoyment in calling out people's homophobia, if i'm going to feel anything about it it's more in the realm of a mixture of pity/anger/revulsion.

yr being trolled into responding and KiS, being very good at that game, will keep yr aggravation levels high.

I do not believe that he is as ignorant as he feigns.

geebtel death is gay?!?? omgz no wai

that said, I couldn't pass up a chance to post My Big Bear doll.

i forgot that he used to troll.

thats that then, you just ignore him unless you want to rip on him.

sounds fair, he can become the forum masochist.

kis is a troll? i honestly just thought he was a prat. i need to pay more attention.

he cannot become the forum masochist without getting the negative attention that he craves.

my best suggestion is to reply to him with *smiles & nods* only.

boredom will take care of the rest.

It's been an awesome day.
Got up, had a few cups of coffee with a friend and then I went for a walk in the outskirts.
Took some pictures I'm quite happy with

Just got home and discovered this:

Later this evening I'll go to a concert of Quehenberger+ddKern followed by an open session.

The only downside is that I didn't have anything to eat.

It was okay, kind of a drag compared to yesterday though

Same shit....the beer helps.
