Vatican unveils new Commandments!

Posted on by

PopeAnd a new, bolder technique for reconciling God and Man: go ahead and tell them we just make shit up.

It’s great to see the ancient layers of pretence completely stripped away like that, freshened as by sandblasting, and the doctrines presenting their renewed, if pitted, faces to the adoring hordes.

Who needs God anymore? Certainly not the Vatican; it is entirely able to issue its own commandments at any time. We at the ol’ raincoaster blog look forward to the Ten Commandments of Wii, the Ten Commandments of Skateboarding, the Ten Commandments of Using the Remote in Company, etc, etc. Plenty to work on here, if you don’t acknowledge Miss Manners as your personal savior (as we do).

From the AP.

The “Drivers’ Ten Commandments,” as listed by the document, are:

1. You shall not kill.

2. The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.

3. Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.

4. Be charitable and help your neighbor in need, especially victims of accidents.

5. Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.

6. Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.

7. Support the families of accident victims.

8. Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.

9. On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.

10. Feel responsible toward others.

quiz: what bra are you?

Posted on by

This is hilarious: this is about the only type of bra I do not own. But then, I have this birthday coming up…and thanks to the Celebrity Boob Twin test, you all know my size.


You Are a Flashy Red Bra!


Outgoing, friendly, and fascinating.

You’re a charmer, with your pick of the men.

But you want a man who’s as magnetic as you are.

You need someone who can keep up with your all night gab fests!

What Kind of Bra Are You?

Little Edie meets Madonna

Posted on by

and, I think, comes out the winner. The woman may be batshit insane, but she does look both fabulous and happy. This is what Edgar Alan Poe wanted to grow up to marry or become, I think.

Wrenched from the delicate grasp of the Manolo, who got it from Gala. At some point, Perez Hilton was involved, and that always ups the drama factor.

“This is the best thing to wear for the day, you understand, because I don’t like women in skirts, & the best thing is to wear pantyhose or some pants under a short skirt I think, then you have the pants under the skirt, & then you pull the stockings up over the pants underneath the skirt, & you can always take off the skirt & use it as a cape, so I think this is the best costume for the day. …I have to think these things up, you know? …Mother wanted me to come out in a kimono so we had quite a fight.” — Little Edie
