Commented on Bad-ass Mad Max campout weekend, complete with working gyrocopter!
The many photos of big-breasted badland babes here clashes with my memory of "Road Warrior" ("Mad Max" was an unwatchable movie even without the American dubbing) is of hunky men at the forefront, not sex kittens in rubber bustieres. Maybe...
Commented on Spectator throws out public safety, embraces sensationalism and AIDS denialism
Nobody decrying this "denialist" documentary seems to have actually seen it. You're denouncing it based on what other sources report about it. I have seen "House of Numbers", and I think it's a very well-made documentary which deserves to be...
Commented on Report on a revival meeting for the creepy Process Church
My partner recalls that in the 70's the Processeans in Toronto wore striking purple capes and buttons that said "Victim of the Press". Don't know what that was in reference to....
Commented on Here's an index for our book, Ad Nauseam
When the Warhol diaries came out in paperback, an index had indeed been added. But I thought the one in "Spy" was better....
Commented on Here's an index for our book, Ad Nauseam
Compiling a good index is a special skill, and there is a special place in hell for publishers who either omit the index or worse, include a bad one. When Andy Warhol's diaries were published in the early 90's, the...
Commented on Canadian copyright collecting agency subverting open debate on copyright
The cheques that Cory and other Canadian authors get each year as compensation for libraries loaning their books for free (and presumably destroying the market for them) come from the Public Lending Right. PLC has dutifully portioned out an ever-diminishing...
Commented on Cats getting stoned on catnip
I get the same feeling seeing this as I do from watching really stoned people: embarrassed and just a little bit jealous. Honeysuckle and valerian, eh? I'll make a note of that....

Commented on Article about backyard chicken owners
Hamish Grant (#20) might want to check out http://www.torontochickens.com, the website of someone clandestinely raising chickens in suburban Toronto. Lots of backyard poultry info and links. And Ontario recently overturned municipal clothesline bans province-wide, so there is hope....
Commented on LumiTops: glowing disco-wear a candle to guido moths
The site does have photos of people wearing the LumiTops. Difficult to tell from the photos if they'd be appalling or cool. Or both. I think this is probably the manufacturer of the fabric, or at least something exactly like...
Commented on Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse
Indentured servants (read "slaves") pedalling is probably a fairly efficient way of converting caloric energy to electricity. In theory it may be more efficient to burn cows or rice to power steam generators, or something like that, but this would...
Commented on <strike>Crows</strike> Birds stealing coins from car wash?
Regardless of the fact that it's a starling, doesn't $4000 seem like a lot of quarters to put in a nest? In a tree? Even on the roof of the car wash it's hard to believe it could go unnoticed!...
Commented on Guitar-shapped key covers
Easily cool enough to pay $1 a key for these. But not even if I were bitten by a hundred rabid racoons would I ever be mad enough to pay THIRTY DOLLARS SHIPPING for it! We're talking Canada here, not...
Commented on Interesting items found by airplane restorers
"ICONS"? That they're called hallmarks is something that any reasonably educated person ought to know. And Mr. Lee is a Museum Specialist (whatever that might be). Or could it be the Smithsonian that calls them "icons"? That would be even...
Commented on Spiritually uplifting courthouse installation of Flying Spaghetti Monster
The absolute best thing about this is that it wassn't some clandestine, hit-n-run statue-ing, but a formally authorized official installation! Isn't bureaucracy wonderful?...
Commented on Steampunk motorcycle
I wonder why he hasn't done anything with the seat. It now seems kinda out of place....
Commented on Woman's lower half as wooden end table
This is remarkably like a prop built for a production of the opera "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" at the Banff Centre for the Arts in 1993. One of those universal ideas, I guess. http://www.banffcentre.ca/theatre/images/op93_mistook_set1.jpg...
Commented on Poor standard of retail signage
This reminds me of another tube station sign seen on a visit to London in the 80's: "There will be no last train today." Are surreal statements delivered via sandwich-board signs a particularly British form of expression?...
Commented on Unimat 6-in-1 Tool: Keeping Kids' Tools Dangerous
I used to work in a shop that had one of the "adult" Unimat multi-function lathe-and-everything-else tools (circa 1985). It was fun to try out, but in four years I can only remember once when it was used for any...
Commented on Canadian gov't convenes secret net-tapping inquiry
Gotcha! Now that they've been caught out, Stockwell Day's office claims they're going to make the consultation documents public tomorrow, and that the hitherto secret deadline for submissions will be extended. Thanks a lot. What else are they up to...

Tzctlp commented on Spectator throws out public safety, embraces sensationalism and AIDS denialism
"..."AIDS-Denialists" is inherently inflamatory and squelches a real debate...." Well, hell, yes. There are instances in which people should be called denialists, specially in situations in which their denialism is actually contributing to the unnecessary deaths of innocent people. I can't think of any adjective that would not be inflammatory, such people don't deserved to be described in any kinder terms. As for debate, what debate? The debate has been had, scientists have reached sensible conclusions, people following their advice are demonstrably healthier, so frankly the denialists need overwhelming evidence in order to make people take any notice of what...
Antinous / Moderator commented on Spectator throws out public safety, embraces sensationalism and AIDS denialism
The thing is, where do you draw the line that it is worth stifling argument in the name of public health or safety? When, in the last decade, everyone who takes the drugs lives and everyone who doesn't take the drugs dies, it's time to put a sock in it....
Itsumishi commented on Bad-ass Mad Max campout weekend, complete with working gyrocopter!
However, Road Warrior was the renamed Mad Max II in the States, so if it's a Road Warrior weekend post apocalyptic would have been correct. I'm not sure where Nuclear comes into it. Wow I only just found out the original Mad Max was overdubbed in the US. That's shameful. One other funny bit of trivia for those who don't know it. George Miller who directed the Mad Max series is also famous for another Australian film series. Babe. That's right the light heart family film about a farmer and his talking pig that wants to be sheep dog. (Just...
zyodei commented on Spectator throws out public safety, embraces sensationalism and AIDS denialism
It's an old thread, but I just watched a clip from the film in question. Here we have the scientist who received a Nobel prize for discovering HIV saying that, among other things, nutrition and a strong immune system can prevent and reverse HIV. It makes me wonder, just a matter of fact question, whether a single person who commented on this thread has ever seen any or all of the film in question. The clip is unedited, so you can see the context for yourself: http://www.ytb.cm/wtch?v=WQNW7lnT4...
