This is absolute insanity.
This is… I don’t even know how to describe it. Just read it.

So, apparently Ecstasy is made from Sassafras. Finally, the Rave scene and the Old West Saloon scene have some common ground.

Ok, I couldn’t sleep the other night, so I looked into my crystal ball.
Things that just might happen:
Eventually, lasik eye surgery and similar procedures will become so inexpensive and well established that they will become routine, sort of like dentistry today. Glasses will virtually disapeer from the mainstream, except with the poor or perhaps very young children. Spectacles will...

Happy Birthday Anty.
I’d feel like a terrible theatre- type person if I didn’t wish Anton Chekhov a happy 150th birthday. Along with Ibsen, Chekhov was the father of modern Realist drama. So, happy birthday, Mr. Chekhov. I hope it’s a good one, and no where near as bleak as those Siberian winters.
nerbles asked: Why, oh why, Mister Crow, have you not posted any of your recordings to Tumblr yet? (And don't say it's 'cos you don't have any because we both know that's a lie...)

What is still taboo?
What is still taboo in our culture in the age of internet porn and South Park? And before you jump in there with “Pedophilia! Rape! Incest!” keep in mind that they regularly deal with those things on “Law and Order: SVU” and “CSI.” Sure, they’re still morally depraved and horrifying, they’re not so shocking that we can’t get a 24 hour...

If you watch closely he grabs a breadstick at the end like “Whassup, yea, I’m a badass”
That would be Charlie Daniels of “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” fame.
(Not meant to be snarky, btw, just seems like everyone should know Charlie Daniels.)
Is there a Counter Culture?
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. Do we really a counter culture movement today? I mean, the obvious example is the whole “hipster” thing, but that seems to have a lot more to do with fashion and a certain social “pose” than any kind of unified movement. There are movements that are just rehashings of older scenes (neo-hippies, punk, goth) or strongly...

Lest Team Bert get too many points for Bert’s awesome duds, I have it on good authority that Ernie did it first. Also, in case you wondered, apparently Ernie is a briefs man.
kwartz asked: Your "Unfollowing" post forced me following you :-)
Unfollowing
It’s nothing personal, it’s just I think Ayn Rand is a crock of shit and her philosophy is Fascism dressed up in such a way as to appeal to pretintious stoners. So, if you start posting all this stuff about how amazing she is, and what a revolutionary she is, when in fact she’s just spouting out social Darwinism and ultra-right wing Capitalism in a “hip” package, I...

Oh, man, I forgot about that. The great Haitin-Satan pact of 1778. But you’re right, people don’t like to talk about it. That’d be just plain rude.
