I hear the words you say, and I respond with the message I mean to convey.

you know for some reason whenever i read the emmanuel quote under your avatar i mentally do it to the tune of that song that got turned into the he-man heyaaayayaayayyay video. i think this would make some good lyrics for the migf/rahm version of that song

This should have happened in the original Star Wars, thus nipping this whole Jedi nonsense in the bud:

Sometimes people have fun talking about things, and even making fun of them. Especially when they like the thing.

It feels like changing even just a few rules about how juries are run would make their jobs a lot easier and give better results.

Like, at least let them keep a written copy of the judge's instructions to them. Dudes already reading them off a piece of paper I mean goddamn.

There are good actors in Star Wars who just aren't specifically good in Star Wars

Is it weird that I sometimes read Liam Neeson as Leslie Nielsen and get confused about why people are referencing The Naked Gun?

http://www.themalaymailonline.com/malaysia/article/cheap-anti-gay-sexist-jibes-echo-at-umno-assembly

quote:

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 29 ― Anti-gay and sexist jibes echoed from the speech box at the Umno General Assembly today, as one delegate kept with the general theme of deep conservatism at this year’s gathering by lashing out at sexual minorities.

Building his rhetoric around same-sex marriages and a unique interpretation of just how they might be confusing to onlookers, Datuk Ismail Kijo from Selangor Umno said Putrajaya must not give in to pressure to elevate sexual minorities to equality.

“Malaysian mothers would be forced to face the harsh possibility that the partners of their daughters could have bigger breasts than theirs some day,” Ismail said of lesbian unions.

“Could you imagine how shocked the mother would be when she sees that this future husband has breasts bigger than hers,” he added, again referring about lesbian couples.

His gratuitous and repeated references to breasts left some in the audience visibly embarrassed but Ismail went on.

“The breasts may be bigger than those owned by your mothers, ladies and gentlemen,” he said.


Still he was not done. Straining his examples further, he said gay marriage will create similar confusion among onlookers as sons bring home men as marriage partners.

“The mother will be elated to meet her future daughter-in-law, only to be shocked when she sees that her future daughter-in-law comes with a moustache bushier than Tan Sri pengerusi tetap,” he said in referring to Umno permanent chairman Tan Sri Badruddin Amiruldin, drawing laughter from the delegates.

I almost feel like applauding him for not going the easy route with dicks and butts. Using imagery of big breasted lesbians is definitely hard mode if you're trying to scaremonger about the gay.

also my grandfather has discovered fw: mails. like a literal here's a picture of a cartoon heart send it to everyone you don't want to lose in 2015 type deal. it's adorable.

although i guess if you think about it, considering he's my grandfather and all that, it's not like losing a friend it's more like 'gee i hope i don't die this year' so it all becomes rather morbid.

eh. both my grandma and grandpa are old-people-racist where they occasionally say something super racist but not in a mean-spirited way and only because they don't know any better. that mainly comes down to referring to other races with words they probably shouldn't be using, but it's always the really old timey kind of slurs. like one time we were in a restaurant and my grandma spotted some asians at another table and, trying to use the inside-voice she doesn't have, declared 'LOOK AT DEM JAPS.' by which she genuinely meant 'hey, look at these asian people we don't see a lot of them around here'

i did have one conversation with my grandpa where he actually took some racist positions on immigration (and the turks and the moroccans) but it was pretty clear he was just repeating what some of his pub friends told him. those boys are a bad influence on him. either way, he was actually pretty open to what i said, so eh.
