Greetings again.

I thought I'd say a few words about this blasted election, but its all been said. And since few among you will disagree with me, it would all be very self-affirmatory but not very productive. And by this time (three pints down and two regulars), I really don't feel like spending the mental energy. Rather, I'd like to go to bed.

But first I'd just like to respond to some complaints that I've received. Firstly, I don't necessarily share the views of W. C. Fields, but that doesn't prevent me from finding his quote very funny. (hahahaha women are like elephants!) Also my roms are not, necessarily, illegal, since they are no longer being made. I believe copyright law allows the redistribution (although not for profit) of copyrighted information if it is no longer available for purchase. Thirdly I point to weebl and bob (again) for support in that without pie there is, in fact, only chaos. The world has known pie for quite some time, and before its invention life was chaotic. There were empty pie dishes and pie-less people everywhere, and that made for a lot of chaos. I would also assert that ice-cream is a more recent invention than the pie (or at least is certainly only recently readily available in the stead of pie), and that therefore if there had been no pie earlier than the times of ice-cream (but while pie was generally available), there would have been only chaos. And finally you are not a drunkard unless you drink before the sun goes over the yard-arm. That usually happens at about 4 pm, but I suppose it also depends on where your ship is in the world, which way it is oriented, and where exactly your yard-arm is. And if you're in the high arctic in the summer and the sun is up all day but low, then you'd better drink all the time. Its they only way you'll enjoy being unable to sleep in the perpetual sunlight.

Ok, comments mostly dealt with. Except to say to the SSGL, get knotted you surface scum suckers. Find some REAL rocks to look at. Rocks that'll take chunks outta your face when you smack them with the hammer. You guys use the most wimpy rock hammers ever. Like 1 lb and with a scratchy end so you can carve your name and romantic interests in your samples. Losers. Our hammers have to be 4 lbs at least and we need several chisels to retrieve one decent chunk of rock. If we wanted to carve our names we'd have to use precious gems... you guys could use your teeth without doing any damage. You also couldn't tell the difference between a quartz-plagioclase-amphibole granulite and a gabbroic intrusive to save your lives. You also most likely drink coolers, or guinness (which is only 4.5%), or maybe apple juice. Not that I'm knocking apple juice though. Its damn good stuff.

Ok that's enough drunken sedimentologist bashing for today.

Oh yeah... if you've never basked in the glorious aura of Bubb Rubb I suggest you do so, here.

The whistles go whooooooooooooo!!!

And there's a lot of garbage on the net (eg pic above) referring to this stuff. But its just fo' decoration yo.

Cheers.
