the agnostic church of the rev.paperboy wood

"If a person who indulges in gluttony is a glutton, and a person who commits a felony is a felon, then God is an iron."

- Spider Robinson

Res Ipsa Loquitur

In my mundane life I am a copy editor and staff writer for a great metropolitan english language newspaper in Tokyo. I was born and raised in Canada (hamilton, toronto, sault ste marie) I have a degree in political science (which is like a degree in creative astronomy - a more or less useless contradition in terms)from the University of Waterloo. I have a lovey and talented wife and two fabulous kids and like to cook, eat,drink, play blues, write, read and blah blah blah blah.........

What I'm working on now

An entry for the edited guide on the brilliant early performance artist Lord Buckley

Dang hippies!
Apr 22, 2005

This is a former co-worker who an excellent photographer and who has dropped out, bought himself some land in a remote corner of New Zealand and is starting an artists colony in a giant peace-symbol shaped building that is under construction. I wanna go visit, but I'm afraid I might never leave.

Frankly Scarlett i don't give a rat's `@ss
Feb 8, 2005

NHK, the japanese version of BBC(or CBC for us canucks) ran "Gone with the Wind" tonight and as usual I just couldn' sit through the whole thing. Aside from the Phyllis Schafely anti-feminist crowd, I really don't understand how anyone can like the film as the main character - Scarlett O'Hara - is entirely unsympathetic. She is a manipulative, selfish, two-faced, conniving shrew. She wants Ashley Wilkes, an honest Southern Gentleman, but when he refuses to fall for her transparent tricks, she marries some poor bastard out of spite, and proceeds to try to break up Ashley's marriage later on. Rhett marries her, but she is jealous of his love for their child and can't understand his grief when the child dies.
Am I supposed to feel sorry for this woman? Am I supposed to feel sorry for the pro-slavery south that produced this spoiled, immature, self-serving harpy?
Maybe its a guy thing, but I just don't get the appeal of Gone with the Wind and Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

Fat Bastard no more
Dec 17, 2004

Yes, after 285 days on a low-carb diet (no bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, sugar or (sob) beer) I am no longer a fat bastard. I have now lost (drum roll please................23 kilograms, that's 50.7 pounds, 3.62 stone, 811 ounces.

So now I am just a plain, garden variety bastard

And Jesus don't like killing, no matter what the reason for

Canadian flag causes flap in the U.S.
Maple Leaf on baggage irks 'sensitive' Americans

Jack Aubry
The Ottawa Citizen

OTTAWA -- Canadians should be careful not to appear "boastful" to Americans, who are insecure because of the war in Iraq and admit they are annoyed by northerners showing off the red maple leaf on their luggage when they travel, a recent federal report warns....
