How does it go again?
Choose First Class for luxury, Third Class for company.
It’s easy to see where Ganesh stands (sits) on the issue.

Celebrity Gossip: the roundup!
Because I have so many blogs, and because I am yea, very easily confused, forsooth, I wrote a post for Ayyyy.com which place does, in fact and in actuality, pay me to read gossip blogs (NOT kidding. Life is a cabaret, old chum) and say “go look at that…now go look at this…now look at that” etc.
Yes, I am getting paid to read gossip blogs.
My sister is going to eat her lips when she reads that.
In any case, here’s the post that was going to put food on my table this month, until I remembered that I’m only supposed to do this during the week. And it’s the weekend. And I thought, bugger it, I can at least feed the ol’ raincoaster blog with it.

Saints Alive! The Cthulhu Medallion
hat-tip AllThingsCthulhu
Oh, this has just GOT to work better than a Saint Christopher; after all, having millions of medals out there didn’t prevent St.Chris from getting demoted from Saint Christopher to Just A General All-Around Nice Guy Christopher?
This, instead, is something with real power behind the graven image, something worth far more than its melt or sentimental value. Sling this around your neck and have geeks falling at your feet (mind you, they do that now, but only because I claim I dropped “the chip that Woz signed for me” I’m a big meanie, I am) and maybe one of them will give you Friends and Family options. Or at least grovel on the floor, chanting. That’s always impressive.

but what about Doritos?
Actually, quite a lot of this surprises me. For one thing, my rather well-informed friend informs me that the price quoted for Canada is low, off by about 20% (this is for BC, and it’s logical to assume that provinces which don’t produce enough pot to have a strain named after them charge more for what they have to truck in). For another, I’m quite surprised to see that pot is cheaper in the UK than it is here OR in the Netherlands, which produces quite a lot of their pot. Where the hell are they getting it from, SCOTLAND? or is the IRA giving it to them at a discount (professional courtesy?). Also note that the price quoted for Singapore does not include the price of the bullet with which they execute you. The family pays for that, I hear.

Quote o’ the Day: John Maynard Keynes on the nature of authority
‘The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood,’ Keynes wrote in 1936.
‘Indeed, the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.
Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back.’
