Scattered Thoughts and Other Trivia

President Bush is Insane

I have finally read the transcript of His Lordship’s Speech to the Nation. I know I should’ve watched it, but I was busy being amused by a discussion about dirty words.

I definitely got the better end of the deal, from all accounts.

I also read the fact sheet on the ‘new way forward’ in Iraq (If I had a vote, I’d vote, “Go back in time and not invade Iraq in the first place.”) as well as the PDF of the Iraq Strategy Review PowerPoint for Dummies (Again, I vote: “Not go in the first place, nitwit.”).

In reading over the speech, I started wondering if he had just declared war on Iran and Syria. Now, to be fair, news organizations on both the left and right picked up on this before I settled down to read it for myself this ayem, but I thought they were overstating the case.

I especially love finding out that the Wikkipedia entry on is not only not worksafe, it also has a video demonstrating the male ejaculation.

[I checked. The information is solid. Heee!]

No definitive answer yet about the source of “cum” in place of come as a sexual term, but so many play on words that I can’t stop laughing.

Yes, I’m procrastinating. Why do you ask?

Edit: Somebody needs to (on purpose) write a hilariously bad PWP using “cum” for all “come”s.

Don’t look at me to do it. I can barely write about kissing. Yes. I suck.
