TODAY'S LOVE NOTE
(Introduction)
I never understood it when people said "Love is all you need." This is
probably because they didn't say "The love of a beautiful, passionate,
compassionate, skillful, intelligent, loving, and all-around perfect
woman is all you need."
[to which I added]
...YOUR love is all I need :-)

TODAY’S GRAFFITI
CURRENCY
[Who bares this dollar is GAY]
Of course I'm gay! Duh! I think it would be painfully obvious to even the most casual observer. I mean, have you ever seen the kind of stuff I do when I'm in the Champagne Room? I'm shocked that you even thought you had to ask about...
What?
No, dumbass, definition #5.

NEW BLOG SHOWCASE 1
I don't like this poem "The Red Apprentice (An Altruist Ideal)" (Jan 1, CTRL+F "apprentice") by Juggernaut of Love.
I read it and had no idea what the author was trying to say. But I was
intrigued by the title... specifically the fact that it contained the
word "altruist". To the best of my knowledge, only Objectivists use
that word.
I checked the blogroll - sure enough, all kinds of Objectivist goodies. And, as I've mentioned previously, I like Objectivists. So I hunted around to find a reason to vote for the blogger, despite the not-so-great poetry.
Found it. Manan has a post about civil disobedience (Dec 22 CTRL+F "Ragnarian"), that links to an organization (NoRace.org) that is actively attempting to screw with state sponsored Affirmative Action programs:
**********
"What would happen to affirmative-action
programs if a significant portion of college applicants
intentionally
misreported their races? Even if most applications were marked correctly...a
little civil disobedience could introduce just enough margin of
error to really bring out the pure intellectual chaos and
moral repugnance of affirmative action."
**********
Since I despise race-based preferences with a dark and bloody fury, I want to give Manan a huge round of applause (and a vote in the NBS) for pointing this out.
Meanwhile, may I suggest that Manan get comments installed (I recommend Haloscan), and a nice "About Me" post linked in his sidebar (or is that her sidebar? Crap! It's an Indian name, and I've gotten this wrong before with Shanti...See?
That's why you need an "About Me" post). Actually, since permalinks are
Blogspotted, maybe just a short "About Me" blurb, instead.
After that, consider accepting one of the many "get out of Blogspot free" offers that are floating around.

NEW BLOG SHOWCASE 2
Not really the most inspiring or entertaining poem I've ever seen, (I look to Heather for that sort of thing), but I find The Epicenter's "A Holiday Poem for Bloggers" to be informative. I live and breathe (and blog) to see my Ecosystem
rating go up, and I'm vaguely aware of the concept of other blog rating
systems. There's a link in the poem to one that has heretofore escaped
my attention: the Technorati Top 50 Interesting Recent Blogs. Imagine my surprise when I saw the Madfish Willie's humble establishment there yesterday (note to self: spend more time kissing Bartender's ass), and Susie's there tonight (note to self: spend more time kissing... well,.. anything she wants).
The cool thing about this list as opposed to the Technorati Top 100 is that it uses a semi-complicated mathematical formula
to give a weighted score based on the number of new links compared to
the number of current links, thus allowing relatively obscure blogs to
show up on the list if they get a sudden uptick in incoming links.
Pretty cool concept. I hope to show up there someday.

I DON'T KNOW... I STILL THINK IT BEATS HAVING A BABY IN THE ROOM
Lynn of Reflections in d minor went dog-blogging today. Not about her dog, mind you. It's about YOUR dog, and would you PLEASE shut up about the animal?:
***********
Whatever you do, DO NOT spend an entire evening gushing about
how much you love your "child" [dog] and repeating over and over again that
she likes to be the center of attention. Believe me, we know! We can
all see that your "child" likes to be the center of attention. We
certainly don't need to be reminded of this annoying fact every two
minutes throughout the entire evening. PLEASE find something
else to talk about! Music, books, movies, sports, pop culture, how good
(or bad) the pizza is. Anything! Just puh-leeeease quit talking about
your damned dog kid for five minutes!
***********
Being the childless parent of 6 animals myself, I try to restrain the
urge to blather about the 4-legged offspring, and I only post the humiliating pictures, and not the cute ones.
But I'll go Lynn one better. When I come over, get the baby out of the
room. I don't mind kids so much - at least the walking & talking
kind - you can at least interact with them and hold moderately amusing
discussions. But a baby just sucks the life and/or intelligence out of
a room full of adults. Recently I was at a Christmas affair with some
relatives. When the diapered darling was asleep, there was some
moderately entertaining chit-chat in the air. Once the party pooper
woke up, all attention turned toward the little star & conversation
devolved to captioning the baby's activities:
"Aw, she's so cute"
"Look, she's smiling"
"She's wondering who all these people are"
"What a big yawn! I'll bet baby's sleep-y!"
Kill. Me. Now.
It went on like this for about 20 minutes until momma had the decency
to take baby elsewhere, whereupon normal human adult discussions
resumed. I've never been so relieved.
Next time someone starts coochie-cooing a rugrat in my presense, I swear I'm gonna bust out with my hernia surgery stories.
You've been warned.

MORE FRENCH-BASHING, PLEASE
Jeff of BigStick.US has his interview up at Jen's place. It's nice to see a fine, upstanding, American youth get his 15 minutes of fame:
*************
What is the first thing you plan to do when you get to France?
- Well, after doing all of the necessary paperwork and finding my host
family's house, I'm going to unpack my huge American Flag and put it up
on the wall of my room. So there.
Do you have plans for what to do with all the Frenchies who surrender to you at the airport?
- Not really... I hadn't considered that. I'll try to keep a low
profile, I mean, they'll outnumber me quite a bit. Wait, nevermind.
I'll just round them into pens.
How many states do you think Dean will carry in the 2004 election should he win the Democratic Primary?
- 3. Alberta, California, and New York. He's big in them liberal shithead areas.
*************
Lots more. Go read.
Then poke that little peckerhead in the eye until he coughs up another episode of 2015.

HELPING OUT A CHARMING LASS
hM of homicidalManiak is a sweet lady (don't let the pictures of carving implements in her banner fool you), and, via Emperor Darth Misha I, I found out she's having some difficulties with an invasive Nanny State:
***********
Alrighty then, people, I need some help. My family has a situation going on right now and we can use prayers, money, whatever.
Basically my step-mom's ex is looking at taking the four kids they
had together away. When the whole thing is said and done he will lose
(because he's a total assnugget), but at great cost to my fam. We all
know that the Nanny State-headed legal system, while having our Best
Interests™ at heart, will also bleed us dry whenever a case For the
Children™ comes up. Another issue with this is that the youngest boy
has odd interests (death and the macabre), a lot like I did when I was
his age. So while my parents may win the suit, they may lose the
youngest to the Nanny State if only because they will deem it necessary
for his "mental well-being".
You may have noticed off to the side I've added a Paypal button
under Worthy Causes. If there was ever a worthy cause this is it. If
you can't donate at least send up a prayer or two. My family needs it.
***********
Being "none of the above" in the higher-being department, I can't offer
prayers, so I'm just going to make like a Democrat and throw some money
at the problem.
Others are encouraged to do one or the other or both.

ALLIANCE HAPPENINGS
Filthy Lie Round-up is up. My favorite being Susie's chilling tale of her encounter with the Vampire Lestat Glenn.
************
I looked up to see long, claw-like fingernails sliding slowing across
the glass front window of the Ticket Booth. Half a second ago there had
been no one anywhere near the theater. Now there was black-clad figure
standing a few inches away from me, only the window separating us. I
was too frightened to scream, although I did I gasp in horror--which
caused me to go into a coughing fit. I rummaged though my pockets for a
tissue, and found one just as I hacked up [deleted: colorful yet disgusting description of viscous bodily fluids common in cold sufferers].
As the spasms subsided, I looked up to see the dark figure patiently
waiting, the claw-like nails tapping a rhythmic tattoo on the glass.
Unsure of what else to do, I leaned forward to the "speaker" and asked
"Can I help you?"

COMING SOON: THE CHAMPAGNE ROOM
Hmmm... that sounds more like a porno movie title than an actual post.
Anyway, the Bartender of Madfish Willie's Cyber Saloon, will be posting
a round-up of the best adult-oriented humor & commentary this
Sunday. To get into the Champagne Room, e-mail links to your dirtiest, nastiest, and/or most suggestive posts to
MadfishWillie at hotmail.com
And remind me to crank out more smut tonight so I've got a bone to toss
that mongrel. It's been pretty dry around here the last week or so. I
need to spice things up.
