Sometimes I rattle the cage and beat my head uselessly against its bars, but sometimes, I can shake one loose and use it as a dildo.

I'd like a "duke-it-out" throwdown with Flay.
just cause.

when my wife first told me there was a show called "throwdown" with bobby, I said I'd whip his punk ass.

Are the rumors about the horrifying things Mormons do to jello true?

When I first saw this headline, in my mind I could hear George Bush saying, "the free market works!"

"Moscow's sex slave trade reportedly thriving" http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/07/18/russia.prostitution/index.html

I once printed out a stack of pages that all repeated "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" and left it out for my mom to find.

Yeah, I don't think my metaphor to asian horror movies works either. 

I was thinking of the "there is no jailbreak" thing as a comparison to Zen Buddhism (Soto). 

Sort of, "is the point of meditation to become enlightened?"  No, meditation (zazen) is just sitting (shikantaza).

I am not sure how to make this point in relation to the BIP/jail break metaphor.  Or am I on the wrong track?

I guess I would compare it to the asian horror movies that have recently crept into the american scene--there is no way out.  Once you have been in the house, or seen the movie, or whatever, you are fucked.  Knowing that you are fucked helps you deal with it, but you are still fucked.  You end up dead, period.

There is no jail break.

White genocidal guilt.


I did find it amusing in Poltergiest though, that a dead Indian would spend his time moving a chair back and forth in some suburban kitchen.

Seriously, why doesn't he just pick it up and bludgeon them all to death? 

Because that would have been a short film.

Is this a philosophical question like St. Augustine where it is a question of whether you yourself can do it through logical and deductive reasoning, or whether you need outside assistance (mindfuck = divine intervention) to achieve your goal.

I grew up in Eastern Kentucky, and while I didn't grow up in snake-handling churches like y'all may think, I got the full-force Baptist treatment.  In these Baptist churches, it doesn't matter if you were baptised in the christian church, you are going to hell if you were not baptised in that particular church.  But all the churches in that area were hellfire and damnation--except the catholic church my wife went to.



I can remember being in bible school, probably age 6ish, and not believing anything they were selling me.  It was hard as a kid not to call bullshit on virgin births, walking on water, and raising the dead.  (Sounds like witchcraft to me.)  So while I had those bad experiences, I don't think they changed my opinions, but just reinforced my previously held beliefs.

My mother was a cancer nurse in that region for 20+ years.  She had lots of stories about how her patient's families would them since the only reason they were sick is because their "faith wasn't strong enough."  That's when I became militantly anti-christian.

It wasn't until I was in college and learned about Zen Buddhism that I realized other people thought the same way I did (sorta).  But it is really the basic Hindu cosmology that I dig.  (And fyi, the only part of buddhism I buy is the 4 Noble Truths: the rest is gloss.) 

I think like most of us, I became a student of world religion--probably to try and figure out where they went wrong.  (Spoiler: it is the concept of God.)
