The Gladiator in my Brain

Last night marked the return of the greatest television sensation since the invention of theremote control! American Gladiators!

 

Sure the show was marred by the injury of the guy who once starred in gay porn, but whats better than watching a small be-spectacled man get punched in the face by a seven foot tall goliath that claims to be human? 

Well, maybe this picture.

It is the greatest image your eyes will ever behold. Do not argue. It’s science.

The woman and I snuggled up on the couch like the average elderly Albertan couple do, when Ralph Klein will be featured on the news. Only we weren’t hoping to see someone take rights away from gay people, we were hoping to see overly-straight men pretend not to be gay!

It’s kind of like watching professional hockey players snuggle, only with less STDs.

So the show starts out with hulk Hogan rising from a hole in the ground with lights and smoke everywhere, I felt as though I was watching the earth give birth to a well tanned baby with a skullet, and the hugest arm veins in history. Yes, let me assure you it was awe-inspiring. If Botticelli were alive today he would have painted hulk hogan on a seashell, not that skank venus.

I try not compare myself to people. Especially not Hulk Hogan, cause that guy rules! To be honest, I bet is ex-wife would argue that. I’m sure she has a point, but when I was a kid I had the Hulk Hogan work out set, and I listned to his tape that came with it every single day when I did my faggy little work out routine in my room. (I was usually sent to my room for being a mouthy kid, and would try to excersize so I’d get strong and . . . come to think of it I just figured being strong would just help me get away with stuff . . . maybe I was just being sent to my room for being a moron)

That tape used to tell you to listen to your parents, always be nice to people, and always remember “the big brother upstairs” was always watching you, so be a good person. You can’t argue with that,  I mean that guy even said not eat junk food. He instilled me with a love of fine cuisine! 

 But as I watched the Hulk I really began to feel as though I’d let the Hulkster down. I’ve allowed myself to become weak and flabby like a latter day Brother Love. 

It is therefore my pleasure to announce I shall hit “le Gym”. (French for “the gym) I shall keep you updated on my progress. Or as I call it, “my decent into humanity”!

Christmas is Gone!

And voila!

 

It’s all over! This soiled cloth of dry hump holiday action has satiated itself on the blood of my paycheck and moved to Brazil for another 11 months. That’s right fucktard Christmas is over! I for one couldn’t be happier. I have been unable to enter a grocery store in two months, for fear of the vicious middle aged cart cruiser and her nigh shoulder high pile of festive foodstuffs. Some of which are generic brand canned vienna sausages! You can’t give the food bank name brand stuff, the hungry aren’t pretentious snobs!

 

I suppose it is nice that at this hallowed time of year when we pray to a plastic Jesus that people are kind enough to drop off a can of food. Even though they threw out more food from their fridge this year than bothered to give the food bank. Yes it is the time of giving my friends! The time of year when hearts are open, and wallets go along accordingly. Provided it’s for a family member and not someone who hasn’t eaten today. Get a job stinky!

 

Mouths too are open to yell obsenities and sprew forth verbalk fecal matter as folk jostle in lines and search high, low and bitchedly for a parking spot two feet closer than the one they passed over five minutes ago. Yay Jesus! (and his latter day saints)

 

But all that has passed! It is dead! Over! Now instead of saying we’ll help the less fortunate and doing nothing we can skip the middleman and just do nothing! What’s to feel guilty about if you just ignore it!

 

I shall ignore it! I’m gonna ignore it and get a pair of jeans, a nice pair of Jeans with fresh stiching woven with care by a five year old hepped up on speed to work an extra nine hours. I mean that kid better take care he wouldn’t wanna make a mistake and get beaten!

 

Boy if it wasn’t for the glitz of the wrapping paper people might actually think about the implications of their savings! But who cares? It’s all dying down. The Season of self centred bullshit wrapped in red and green is coming to a close. Now we can get back to normal. Where self centred bullshit is just wrapped in green.

I Find Pat Robertson to be Less Cool Than Darth Vader

Pat Roberston is a grade “A” douche bag. If this were an essay, that would be my thesis. Guys like him are just as bad, I’m talking about fascists.

 

Do you know what a fascist is? Here:

 

1) a person who sympathizes or believs in facism

2) a Person who is a memeber of a fascist party or movement

3) a person who is dictatorial or has extreme right wing/reactionary views

 

I got that defenition from dictionary dot com, so I dunno how accurate of a description you could say it is. I will also throw in my own two cents and say a fascist is someone who wants to control the way you think. People think in their own manner based on the way they were raised. There are those that say our genes determine who we are . . .

 

I disagree, I am more than the sum of my parts, and think the same about those around me. I don’t wanna get all goofy on you here but you really can do whatever you want, as long as you believe you can do it. I’ll give you a really personal example I was three and declared I could eat an entire can of corn.

 

Everyone around me disagreed, and said I was being silly. I showed them! I did eat an entire can of corn, and was mostlikely regular for several days afterward, not that I remember that part, the imprtant thing was I saw my goal before me and made it Happen. I am a winner!

 

Now what does a can of corn have to do with Pat Robertson being a douchebag? Well Pat Robertson and those like him want to control what you think, they are determined to make you think like them and blacklist the ones who don’t. He, my friend, wants to control education. In his warped little mind educated people are bad!

 

Here’s a classy zinger from Pat about sexual education:

“It is teaching kids to fornicate, teaching people to have adultery, every kind of bestiality, homosexuality, lesbianism-everything that the Bible condemns.”

Here’s Pat talking about femenism:

“The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians.”

Oh wait here’s another gooder about women:

“I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that’s the way it is, period.”

I don’t wanna get ahead of myself here, I forgot where I was going, but I mean c’mon that shit is funny, in a terrifying kind of way. I say terrifying because he’s not some little nut job sitting on a rock in the desert, this guy has a hugely popular show in the US. Millions of people watch this guy every week and believe all the baseless shit he says! Now I was saying that he is against public education, so here we go:

“The public education movement has also been an anti-Christian movement…We can change education in America if you put Christian principles in and Christian pedagogy in. In three years, you would totally revolutionize education in America.”

Man, can you believe this guy? I’m a Christian, and am pretty proud of it. I think religious beliefs give you foundation for your morality. Part of my foundation is to let anyone and everyone believe what they want. I know it is not my place to tell people what they should believe, so if he wants to think femenists are trying to destroy the world then he can think that all he wants.

But taking away education? Last time I checked another religious group wants to stop education aswell. You may have heard of them, they’re call Al Queda. As a matter of fact they’ve taken Pat Robertson’s hatred of education as far as you can. They killed 148 students at Bagdhad university this morning. They loaded up two vans full of explosives and waited for classes to get out; the boom!

Hurray!

No education!

The school is still there, and the students are actually still in class this afternoon. Do you know why, they understand the value of an educated mind. There is NOTHING on this earth more valuable than an eductaion. Remember that. These students weren’t killed at random, if you know your stats over 34′000 civillians have been killed in Iraq this year. Of course most assume the death count in Iraq is just over 3′000 after all that’s how many Americans have died. After all Americans remember the details!

Do you wanna know another interesting fact? Most of those targeted had a formal education! Wow! It’s almost as if there’s some sort of pattern developing here . . .

Now Pat Robertson is more than just a preacher who wants to save our souls, and keep women baking pies in the kitchen. (but let’s be honest though mom’s do make the best pies)

He also seems to be very focused on the state of political affairs, and is not above wishing death upon opposing politicians/legislators int order to get his way. Hold on did I say wishing? I meant praying. There is difference ya know. OK, you’re not convinced? Here are a few more brain busters from Pat McPatPat

“The mission of the Christian Coalition is simple,” says Pat Robertson, is “to mobilize Christians — one precinct at a time, one community at a time — until once again we are the head and not the tail, and at the top rather than the bottom of our political system.” Robertson predicts that “the Christian Coalition will be the most powerful political force in America by the end of this decade.” And, “We have enough votes to run this country…and when the people say, ‘We’ve had enough,’ we’re going to take over!”

That’s kind of scary, but hey at least in his new system white folks will have more power, well at least the Christian ones will. Praise be to Allah most Merciful, whoops I mean God. Sorry.

“I think ‘one man, one vote,’ just unrestricted democracy, would not be wise. There needs to be some kind of protection for the minority which the white people represent now, a minority, and they need and have a right to demand a protection of their rights.”

But that makes sense because being a White Christian means you’re always getting persecuted.

“Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians. It’s no different. It is the same thing. It is happening all over again. It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-based media and the homosexuals who want to destroy the Christians. Wholesale abuse and discrimination and the worst bigotry directed toward any group in America today. More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history.”

Darn I feel sorry for those poor White Christians, maybe one day they’ll get a Conservative Christian into the White House. Then they can make all those well read, satan worshiping, homsexual billionaires pay! I mean if you look at history they’ve been running the show since well, forever! Since the bible teaches us the world is only 6000 years old that’s about how long they’ve been running the things for, that’s where the dinosaurs came from! They used to ride them around punishing the good god fearing white folk!

That seems ridiculous doesn’t it. You know why? You know that isn’t the case. You know there’s no way that could be true, because you were taught your whole life that the world is much older than 6000 years. You learned that in school, and on all those eductaional programs you watched while smoking your bong. But imagine you never learned that in school. Imagine you were never taught to think for yourself, and your lack of critical thinking left you susceptible to mass panic. You believe everything your told, like the only way to save your sould and the souls of those around you is to destroy buildings of education, and punish the educated!

So let me get this straight, if I want to acheive my goal of “take[ing] over” I should attack eductaional institutions? Does that mean that . . .

Yes.

Electing Ossama Bin laden into the White House is the best hope for White Christian America.

If I had a Vagina

I have realized that girls are all retarded and don’t know how to pick a guy to “go steady” with. That’s why after much thought I composed a list of all the dudes that I’d let bruise my cervix, if I had one.

Special Mention 2: Boba Fett

I would have put this guy in the top ten but I already had two people from Star Wars, and I would have even put Lando in here too, but Boba edged him out by being more bad ass. I mean Have you seen this guy in action? The guy was the basis for the entire Grand Army of the Republic!

 

He even looks pretty hot in that helmet of his. It’s kind of like a pair of shiny aviators where you can only see your reflection in so you’re never really sure if he’s looking at you, and since in my head when I’m a chick I have huge guns there are times I’m not even sure if he’s really looking at my face.

Special Mention 1: King Leonidas 

I had to put him on here because I saw 300 last Monday and it was the best fucking movie I’ve seen since Pan’s Labyrinth. I loved it, the guy is so bad ass, and he’s got abs. If I’ve learned anything from late night cable you need to have abs. Or call the Party Line.

 

Just watch the movie and you’llcompletely understand why he’s here. Anyone who can kill a bazillion dudes in a day would surely know how to treat a lady with respect!

10. Strongbad

Basically Strongbad is the epitome of the Albertan male, aside from not playing minor hockey and owning a truck. However he’s crass, he’s wrong about everything, and he always thinks he’s right! I know he enjoys “cold ones” a fair bit so if he really really really enjoyed them enough he could even be Ralph Klein.

 

He has stated his morals are up for sale and everything I wonder if the brothers Chaps used King Ralph as a basis for him? It doesn’t matter, because he’s so vile and surly that I love him.

9. The Jack guy from Big Trouble in Little China 

When I was a kid I fuicking loved this movie. Jack was played by Kurt Russel and I always thought he was the best actor ever because he was so cool in this movie. First off he drove a truck called “The Porkchop Express” and then he stabs an imortal Chginese guy in the head with a knife!

 

Have you ever done that? Yeah that’s what I thought. The best pat is even after he save the entire world from the clutches of the evil Lopan, he went back to drivin’ truck! That’s my kind of stud.

8. Johnny Fever 

The guy was a radio DJ with a cool moustache I don’t really need to go on do I?

7. Dig Dug

OK. There are few things in life more macho than digging a hole. But what if after you dug the whole you climbed down inside and not only hunted mosters, but you used an airpump which you shoved down their throats. Then pumped them up to the point the exploded! That’s right That’s what Dig Dug did!

 

Not only did he wear a really cool jumpsuit but he was also a concerned ecologist, cause those monsters he killed were trying to destroy the water table. That’s always been my assumption anyways. He’s the fore-runner of Captain Planet.

6. Soundwave

By far the coolest of the Transformers. The guy is a walkman so you know he has rythym and everytime I watch a shitty movie on BET the girls/stereotypes are always all about “brutha’s with rythum” I have no clue why, but it must be for some reason.

 

Plus he can’t speak english so I could always just ask confused when he tells me to do shit. I’d be all “Look asshole if you want me to do the laundry then you should tell me to do the laundry!”

 

Soundwave: “mmmm mmm uuuu mmmm uuuu mmmmmm”

 

Me: “Hey fuck you! All you ever do is go bowling and looking for energon cubes. Why don’t you go make something of yourself instead of taking orders from that asshole boss of yours Megatron!”

 

Soundwave: “mmmmmmmm uuuummmmmm mmmmmmm mmmmm mm uuuuuuu”

 

Me: “Whatever! The roof is leaking and you don’t even know your kids names! My mom was right about you mexicans! No initiative!”

5. Destro 

The right hand man of Cobra Comander and without a doubt the coolest guy on the whole fucking GI Joe cartoon. He wore a silver mask and kicke asses. Apparently he wore the mask due to a fmaily shame commited years ago in the middle ages and since then all the dudes in his family have worn masks. I think that’s pretty cool.

 

It gives him mystyque and since he’s probably loaded with baggage it’d be really easy to make him my man slave and get him to do all my bidding, like getting me a pony and stuff.

4. Darth Vader/ Anakin Skywalker

I know he had a good case for being number one on the list but he lost out for two reasons. As a woman I would need to get some ass every now and again and he’d be too busy out killing Jedi or looking for his son he had with that skank Amidala or whatever her name is. Plus he doesn’t have a dick anymore cause it was melted off in lava. Still I’m sure he could use the force to get me off or something.

 

Then there’s Anakin which bumped him down a few spots. Hayden Christensen (I can’t spell his name cause he is a fuck tard) was a horrible casting call by George “I ruin my movies” Lucas. I read that Ryan Philipe was the original choice but didn’t get along with Natalie Portman so he got the axe. Anyone who doubts Ryan Philipe rent The Way of the Gun. That guy can play a psycho with ease. He punches a chick in that movie.

 

That’s how I saw a young Anakin Skywalker acting, kind of a douchebag who always felt he was better than everyone. Not a whiny pussy who always shit his pants and complained about everything imagine him in a burger stand ordering a litre of cola.

 

“I’ll get a galactic burger, some proton fries and a litre of cola.”

“Just get a large Anakin.”

 

“I don’t want a large Anakin, I want a God damn litre of cola!”

3. V

Even if his wienber is probably burnt off to the point it looks like an outie belly button you couldn’t possibly wanna have this guy’s children. He’s so smart and always has the right thing to say. PLus his kids would be smart cause he’d make them read all the time and turn them into these bad ass awesome vigilantes.

 

And he can cook, that guy is all man!

2. Mayor McCheese

Politics and vaginas go together like France and surrendering. I have all kinds of friends that like Grimace and wanna bear his love child but I’ve always thought of Grimace as a deformed reatrded version of Barney the dinosaur. You know how in Twins Danny Devito is Arny’s idiot twin brother? That’s Grimace is to Barney. For Serious.

 

Mayor McCHeese is a freak in the sack and when blows his load it a big wad of McChicken sauce so you can’t get pregnant. But if him and his council members ever had a bukake party watch out, that’d be an easy way to gain a lot of weight.

1. Han Solo

Like you wouldn’t do him! He is the coolest man in history, he could even be an archeologist if he wanted, but he’s too busy flying through space and kicking asses. That’s what he does. Han Solo rules all including my vagina! I’d even let him shoot in my hair.

Darn You to Heck, Elmo

It occured to me the other day, as I read an article about Sesame Street’s DVD release, that the way things were was just fine. That’s kind of an ambiguous state, so allow me to elaborate. Sesame Street was in no need of re-working. There was never any negative connotation brotught about by any of the characters, or situations presented in the show.

 It was, as every rapper said in the nineties, “all good”. The dioll-wads over at whatever comapany is releasing it to DVD sure don’t think so, as they “re-worked” the show. What that means is, when you watch “classic Sesame Street” you will actually be watching a prettied up version of the orginal.

 Gone is the cantakerous Oscar the Grouch and in comes the sacharine Elmo. I wanna state right off the top that I think Elso is the fucking Anti-christ. He embodies all of what is evil in the world today, aside from biological weapons of course.

 

I’m serious when I say that. Elmo needs to be crucified for the sins of every soul-less corporate hack that jilts the shit out of creative thinking and replaces it with white picket fences and SUV driving soccer moms that can’t be bothered to give the courtesy wave.

First off. Elmo doesn’t even speak fucking english. He speaks cutesy jibberish, which is probably responsible for children not even bothering to learn our language.

“Elmo love you.”

It’s “Elmo loveS you”. You fucking half wit!

I could go on, but I won’t. The fact is I can appreciate what those faceless idiots are doing when they try to pretty things up. They want kids to maintain their innocence until their adults. However time has always taught us that if you hide the truth from people it ends up biting you in the ass.

I’m not saying that showing a seven year old undisclosed video footage of combat in Afaganistan, but I am saying that showing a kid a ficticious puppet that lives in a garbage can won’t give them emotional baggage. What’s the worst that could happen? They ask you, “mommy why does he live in a trash can?”

 Then you say, “because he never ate his vegetables, so stay in school and eat your carrots or you’ll end up living in a trash can too.” I use that as an example cause that’s the answer my dad gave me, and guess what? I don’t live in a fucking trash can!
