Terror, Death and stuff

fear is the flavour of the year these days.
i don't get it. we're all going to die.
get used to it. or don't. whatever.

but stop being afraid all the time!

seriously. people who are scared make bad decisions,
including electing people who then make them more scared.
laughing at it all is way better.
so is laughing at yourself.


IMHO.

the Joy of Meetings!

everybody loves meetings
because meetings totally rock!

what could beat getting stuck
in a room and baking your brains
under flourescent lights
with a bunch of people
you neither trust nor like,

watching someone read
a power-point presentation,
followed by a faux-dialogue
reeking of hidden agendas
about decisions
that have already
been made?

welcome to the modern meeting,
aka Life in the Box!

Famous Last Words - PT Barnum

how exciting!

it's the debut of the latest subset
of the Check Your Meds global media entertainment corporation
"Famous Last Words"


"FLW", as we call it here on the campus,
salutes and celebrates the lives
of amazing people in whom the light
of hardcore attitude burned brightly
right up to and including
their last words...

as well as some whose final phrases remain so rich in irony as to be useful intellectual supplements even years later...


enjoy!

the psycho-Orthodox of Beit Shemesh

"another incident last week, in which
some ultra-Orthodox men in the town of Beit Shemesh harassed an eight-year old girl on her
way to her religious Jewish girls school — spitting on her, calling her a "whore" and claiming she
was dressed immodestly.

Naama dresses with long sleeves and a skirt
but extremists consider even that outfit,
standard in mainstream Jewish religious schools,
to be immodest."
