what i’m sayin’ is, it’s a damn wonder we didn’t blow anything up. that’s all. i mean, besides the obvious. besides the stuff we MEANT to blow up. it’s a damn wonder and a miracle to me no one lost a limb or put out an eye is what i’m saying. but it’s not for a lack of trying. we did our best.
the boys particularly liked these little tanks. they lined them up and faced them at each other then tried to see whose tank would survive in the end. of course, none did.
but it was action packed and they emerged from the smoke feeling smug and victorious anyway. the boys, not the tanks.
all in all, our Independence Day went well and we remembered the true meaning of the day, which was that the baby Jesus was born on this day to save us all from the Scientologists so that we may never again have to worry because St Patrick drove the snakes into the Bay of Pigs. or something like that. plus, we satisified our basic need to set things on fire for another year.

A Woman's Manifesto
Because a woman’s work is never done.
and is underpaid, or unpaid, or boring, or repetitious,
and we’re the first to get fired,
and what we look like is more important than what we do.
And if we get raped its our fault
and if we get beaten we must have provoked it
and if we raise our voices we’re nagging bitches
and if we enjoy sex we’re nymphos
and if we don’t we’re frigid
and if we love women it’s because we can’t get a real man
and if we ask our doctor too many questions we’re neurotic or pushy
and if we expect childcare we’re selfish
and if we stand up for our rights we’re aggressive and un-feminine
and if we don’t we’re typical weak females
and if we want to get married we’re out to trap a man
and if we don’t we’re unnatural
and because we still can’t get an adequate, safe contraceptive, but men can walk on the moon
and if we can’t cope or don’t want a pregnancy we’re made to feel guilty about abortion
and for lots and lots of other reasons
we are part of the women’s liberation movement.- Joyce Stevens, International Woman’s Day, 1975.
Man Vs. Heart Attack
I am somewhat worried about the dude on Man v Food. He isn’t looking so good these days and putting that food away like that can’t be good for him.
