Excerpts from the journals of Werner Herzog, written while he was in the Amazonian jungle filming Fitzcarraldo : Across the table comes a strange primeval insect, with a thin, lancelike, excessively long proboscis and feelers on both sides.

After leaking online yesterday in such poor-quality forms I found myself longing for the VHS era, Britney Spears' clip for the Blackout holdover "Radar" has been officially released. In it, Britney gets all classed up, playing a woman beholden to a Richie Rich type who apparently isn't as sexy as one of the dudes in the polo match that she's watching. The whole clip is kind of--for lack...

Their...
I once worked with an older Spanish lady who was always saying things like, "We're friends now because we work together, but the day you or I leave the company, we'll probably never see or hear from each other again." She was kind of rude and dramatic, but she was right. She was also the same woman who threatened to jump off the 12th-story balcony every time she had a fight with her husband,...
Forgive my less than eye catching title and prepare yourselves for another rant. The other day I was trying to pick a birthday card for a friend and I realised that most of the cards for girls were about shoes, shopping, chocolate and 'getting drunk with the girls'. Things like 'Happy Birthday, have a great chocolate filled day, go shopping for shoes and then get pissed with your girlies!' Then there...

In sacrament meeting today, all three speakers spoke about fathers. This, of course, presented the perfect opportunity to reinforce traditional gender roles. Gender roles are kind of a big deal for Mormons. As a recent TIME magazine article observed, the two major policy issues in which the LDS Church has been involved over the past few decades—women rights (the ERA) and gay marriage—are...
Finally a womens group stands up for Sarah Palin. I never thought i would see it but I was wrong.

This is for you guys. Most men don't really know what they've been sticking their cock into. Many women also don't appreciate what they have, and can't understand why a man would think that it was beautiful, let alone want to put his face in it.
