TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Can't say for the day...but by the end of the week they may need longer charts.

When I first heard about the downgrade, I knew it was a political wristslap and said as much to the folks sitting at my lunch table in NJ.  However, as to the longevity of this downgrade...at first I thought it'd be shortlived.  Now I'm not so sure.  I'm also not sure how the political backblow is going to go if S&P et al are NAMING NAMES of the "incaclitrant" perps.

It's interesting to watch, though.  And maddening if you allow yourself to get caught up in it.  I'm trying my damnedest not to.  I have a spouse ready to jump ship, and it's all I can do to hold him back from seeking to become a Canuck.

Why would you hold him back?  Get the fuck out while you can.

I mean, Canada's going down the same road, but they haven't reached the point of no return, yet.

I told him that.  Besides, he's more worried about his brown hide and his kids' future than his own finances (he's a doctor, for chrissakes).

But I don't want to be a Canadian, not really.  I don't want to leave.  But I don't want to watch it all go to fuck and back, either. 

I called his bluff and said I'd go.

And told him the only "thriving" Western economy these days seems to be Australia.  Which seems to have come about from an odd combo of luck and savvy.

Um, this is CANADA.  It's like immigrating to a nation full of rather pleasant knitting circle ladies.

Yeah, I'm guessing that sentiment was pretty rife among a certain demographic in Munich in 1930.

I'm just full of those things today, and I want to share them.

Oddly enough, the teabaggers on CG didn't want any.   :?

Ungrateful fuckbunnies.

I'd just keep handing them out.  They'll appreciate them when they least expect to.
