Corruption

Just stubbled upon this again on the net, has to be one of my favourite sayings: "Knowledge is power ... but power corrupts ... and corruption is a crime ... and crime doesn't pay ... so if you keep on studying YOU'LL GO BROKE!" (Dogbert)

Laugh It Off: SAB the loser

T-shirt maker Laugh It Off has won its fight against South African Breweries (SAB) over its right to mock the Carling Black Label brand, more. Justice Albie Sachs, said: "The evidence indicates that everybody concerned with the t-shirts, whether producer or consumer, knew that they were intended to poke fun at the dominance exercised by brand names in our social and cultural life." The t-shirt reads: "Black Labour White Guilt, Africa's lusty lively exploitation since 1652, no regard given worldwide"

Costumes for your Cat

Whooohoo....back in the saddle after a break. I will tell you about my travels some time...right now just happy to be back on my adventures. How about a silly start, still on the cat theme for some reason....do they hold some key to understanding life and my quest. Why do I doubt that? Anyway, came across this today and it made me smile, costumes for your cat. These earthlings are mad. Anyway, despite this silly start, I do endeavour to offer some meaningful philosophical ponderings on life in my next postings....

Top 100 Corporate Criminals

Today I came across this and was instantly convinced that this list of rogues had to be placed on my list of necromancers. Funny, isn't it how ambivalent the world feels towards corporate criminals. Some almost revered for beating the system...says a lot about the system doesn't it...but these vagabonds, neatly compiled into a list of the Top 100 Corporate Criminals, are undoubtedly high on my list of necromancers.

North Americans and Perfection

"... The North American wants to use reality rather than know it. ... We get drunk in order to confess; they get drunk in order to forget. ... We are sorrowful and sarcastic and they are happy and full of jokes. North Americans want to understand and we want to contemplate. They are activists and we are quietists; we enjoy our wounds and they enjoy their inventions. They believe in hygiene, health, work and contentment, but perhaps they have never experienced true joy, which is an intoxication, a whirlwind. [It's not so much fun to be characterized from the other side, is it?] ... What is the origin of such contradictory attitudes? It seems to me that North Americans consider the world to be something that can be perfected, and that we consider it to be something that can be redeemed." (Mexican writer Octavio Paz in The Labyrinth of Solitude)

WMD

Still out in the desert...searching for those weapons. Anyway, try this....go to www.google.com, then type the words "weapons of mass destruction" and then hit the "i'm feeling lucky" button. Brings a smile to the face of a weather-beaten traveller.

England in Summer

Been away fighting dragons...back now...read this the other day, and thought...how true: "Even in summer, the English sky's the colour of a dead body left out in the cold", see Die Puny Humans for the rest of this treatise....what a happy fellow. Dunno why it appealed to me, maybe the evil in the world that confronts a Knight like me sometimes seems just to much...

Headless Harry Potter, Please....

Where is that irritating little wizard, Harry Potter? Was thinking of adding him to my list of necromancers, but he is too small and annoying. Instead, I think I should seek him out and lop off his nauseating little head....anyone seen him? Then Ifound this game tha provided some release, play Kill Harry Potter.
