Strangely, none of my London friends recognize this part of the Underground route. An unaltered photograph taken by Dave Gorman from inside the Tube.

I don’t care what you think; Charo’s greatest talent is flamenco guitar, and here is the proof. Although her ability to wear the hell out of a sequined orange pants suit should not be underestimated.

and don’t tell my boss any different, damn you. I’ll get back to the normative Pacific Rim report? Yeah, sure…

Shhhhhhhhh. Don’t tell the boss. Yet another nail upon the head quiz, except for that non-judgmental thing. Only inferior people are non-judgmental.
You Are Bare Feet
You are a true free spirit, and you can’t be tied down.
Even wearing shoes can be a little too constraining for you at times!You are very comfortable in your own skin.

Never let it be said that we at the ol’ raincoaster blog stood by passively and watched our proud Canadian heritage slip into oblivion unmourned, unrecorded, unblogged. Now that the last of The Grey Fox’s victims has been enveloped by the sweet embrace of the eternal, it is time to pause and reflect for a [...]

Fidel Castro, by Yousef Karsh
For Realz! Fidel Castro has resigned.
In related news, Hell has dropped to 0 degrees Kelvin.
And no, I didn’t get this off Perez(he’s dead, he’s dead, Castro is dead!)Hilton either. I got it from The Guardian:
Fidel Castro today announced his retirement as head of state of Cuba, 49 years after he seized [...]

Yeah, yeah, “Old Spice.” Har, har.
You Are Black Pepper
You may be considered ordinary by some, but you’re far from boring.
You elevate the mood of any discussion, and people miss you when you’re not around.
You are secretly very dominant and powerful. Most can only take you in small doses.
What Spice Are You?

Anonymous has released a new video listing specific charges against the Church of Scientology and calling for action on March 15th. Instructions included, handle with care.
Scientology, beware the Ides of March.

I guess he’s still bitter about that whole “gelding” thing. Thoroughbreds are so sensitive!
In news that will delight fans of Walter Farley’s classic Island Stallion books, a winning and winsome registered Thoroughbred racehorse called Not Abandoned has slipped the surly bonds of civilization and apparently either dematerialized entirely or joined a herd of wild brumbies [...]

I thought I’d better explain something. In case you’re wondering why I don’t read/comment on your blog anymore, there’s probably a very simple reason. (more…)

Have you seen the cinematic triumph which is Shine? It is the movie that launched Geoffrey Rush on an unsuspecting public. It takes a few of those to make up for chewing scenery in a pirate’s outfit, that’s for sure.
But, perhaps hoping to capitalize on the crossover audience (sure to be huge) coming to serious [...]

In-demand international businessman Abdul Nyarlathotep and his charming wife Shub Niggurath had never seen a challenge like the old Gloaming homestead, but, having once seen it, they knew they had to have it. Putting to good use all their famed persuasiveness, the duo finally convinced the eccentric recluse to let them take possession.
“Yes,” chuckles the [...]

Ten years ago I worked here and, strangely enough, was just talking about it yesterday, although when I worked there there were no assplody taco shops next door; it’s the beans, people. Beans are the devil’s work.
Witness Lesley Jackman said: “The flames were almost completely across the road. They were probably 15-feet high and all [...]

Still with me? How the hell would I know if you’re not, eh?
So.
I’m getting hungry. Popcorn’s not very filling. Maybe I’ll make some pasta.
So at this point I called the cops. I gave them the deets, they said they’d gotten another call from someone here, I described the 5′5″ or so Caucasian male in his [...]

After I let him out of the building and saw him walk away (although ’tis true I didn’t see him leave the complex) I thought I’d trot down to the North parking garage and make sure he wasn’t camped out in there, having somehow gotten in. He was not, and it’s probably a good thing, [...]
February 14, 2008 – 11:44 am
So, I was saying that I was at first regretting that I did all that dealing with the cops wearing my very attractive eyelet night shirt and my much less superfantastic XL plaid flannel pj pants, but on second thought it’s better this way, since I haven’t actually done my legs.
Where was I?
Right, no idea [...]
