The Fire: A Poelg

Adventure, Captain. Adventure.

There was little else left on Earth.
There was the war to end tyranny.
Many considered that a noble effort.
Tyranny, sir?




Or an attempt to unify humanity?
Unify, sir?
Like a team of animals under one whip?
I know something of those years, remember.
It was a time of great dreams,
of great aspiration.


Under dozens of petty dictator ships.
One man would have ruled eventually,
as Rome under Caesar.




Richard the Lion-Hearted, Napoleon.
I don't know if you'll like living in our time.
Then I'll have to remold it to my liking.
Please don't.
Go.
Or stay.
But do it because it is what you wish to do.
Well?
I'll stay a little longer.
How many minutes do you graciously offer?
I only meant--
This grows tiresome.
You must now ask to stay.
I'd like to stay.
Please.
Open your heart.
Will you open your heart?
Yes.
I intend to take this ship.
Do you agree?
Oh, please don't ask me--
I need your help.
You won't harm anyone?
Now you question me?
No.
Will you assist me?
Oh, please, Khan, don't ask me--
Leave me then.
Go, I say.
No.
I promise.
I'll do anything you ask.
Name-- Khan, as we know him today.
Name-- Khan Noonien Singh.
From 1992 through 1996,
absolute ruler of more than a quarter of your world,
from Asia through the Middle East.
The last of the tyrants to be overthrown.
I must confess, gentlemen.
I've always held a sneaking admiration
for this one.
He was the best of the tyrants
and the most dangerous.
They were supermen in a sense.
Stronger, braver,
certainly more ambitious, more daring.
Gentlemen, this romanticism
about a ruthless dictator is--
Mr. Spock, we humans have a streak of barbarism in us.
Appalling, but there, nevertheless.
There were no massacres under his rule.
And as little freedom.
No wars until he was attacked.
Gentlemen.
Mr. Spock, you misunderstand us.
We can be against him and admire him
all at the same time.
Illogical.
Totally.
This is the captain.
Put a 24-hour security on Mr. Khan's quarters,
effective immediately.
Ahh.
I'm sorry, Captain.
I was, um,
Lost in thought.
My door--















Adventure, Captain. Adventure.

Episode 122.78: The Orion Prevention

I have been invited to slop, but the following has prevented me.

This...thing...prevents me from doing many things.





However, I:



feel welcome.

And Orion has bugs.

There is no weekend

I...mean...


It feels like...


Well...



I mean, it feels like there was no weekend.



I mean, there is no truth.




I mean, TFIF

Did anyone else notice the top shroud on the photocopier has been unbolted and removed?

LMAO nobodys watching the photocopier mate.

newforestroadwarrior, you're spot-on! As a former Canon/Fujitsu photocopier engineer, I can confirm that this video features non-standard use of the glass plate. This glass is relatively thin and brittle and can shatter into razor-like shards; certainly not the sort of stuff to be writhing around on.

The truth is out there

As the sloppy half of this post I offer you this--perhaps the only truth you will ever need
to understand the root cause of all the worlds wars..But first a poem..and a sloppy one at that...


The Unknown

As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know
We don't know.

I'd like to welcome myself

Thank you angry brother for the opportunity to be more publicly sloppy.

And for those of you who love carceral geographies:


adendum: blogger, why don't you like macs?
adendum update: firefox likes me!!

Invitations

I've sent some invitations to some people to guest blog. Really, I'm interested in making this blog like a Korean meal; that is, an octopus-like creature feeding a hydra-like creature from many dishes with many pairs of chopsticks.

Damn Commas

God-damned restrictive clauses.

A Challenge Posed to My Adoring Readers

K writes:

Great photos on the site. I like the Ceaser hair and the coat. Yo're looking good. I wrote up my first [CENSORED]

I found this article today--[CENSORED]

http://www.talk.newsweek.com/default.asp?item=464251

I think you might want to post this and challenge your adoring readers; Find the video of this almost-slaughter of American press agents. You can offer up as a prize a random quote from Kinksi or HErzog to take with them for the rest of their lives (perpahs a quote typed out, printed and lamenated-wallet size of course.

As a pre-literate Picard would say: Let's make it happening!

Find this video and send it to me at solardriftwood at gmail dot com and I will make you a lamination of special worthiness and send it to you at my leisure but at no charge!

Korean Pig Lung

Sometimes I think I learn in class a lot more than my students. For example:




Mmm! Pig Lung! This is after the Pig Ear! Served with deokbokki (which is soft rice cake with tangy hot sauce--it's good.) and shundae or something--it's a noodle sausage that is edible.
This was a fun class. They never listened to me or learned anything.

But it was fun.

The Urban Dictionary

I'm quite flibby about it.

Hi-resolution Torture

Because K can't get enough of it.

Drunk on Success

It will be possible if consumers are willing to pay a small amount. Both to pressure computer makers and taking a legal action are not useful because someone is always can find a way around new technologies disturbing illegal downloading. Therefore It depends on whether people pay.

A Blog About Dentistry

With many references to North Korea!

Oh Sweet Relief

I just got my ear sucked of all its wax by the Nose Ear and Throat man. It was like an enema for the ear canal. Man, I feel great.

A Commemorative Stamp

K-man:"[I talked to the] postmaster and he says thay they are thinking of printing a commemorative stamp that has Saddam in a noose with the twin towers burning in the background."

Wow!

Wow!

Speaking of Precious Oddily Bfluids

Rippermorph: This is eerie.

And congrats on the hanging! The Old Man finally fell down the oil well. As Thod told me, they say they come in threes. I think she means deaths seem to come in three-thousand. Or sets of 30,000.



Goodbye cruel world!

UPDATE!

A Bar in Itaewon

This is before Ada got sick from drinking too much and the four of us, along with Steve, spent an enchanted, sleepless night in a Jimjaebang because we didn't know where to take her because we don't know where she lives.
