Slaughtered Vomit Dolls might be the worst film I have ever seen. Manos is more coherent than this. I urge you to not see this; it's basically torture porn, vomiting, and bad Hell visions.

People loves that garbage nowadays. Hell, they expect it in order to make something "mature".

Slaughtered Vomit Dolls?

The name alone is enough to keep me away from it.

Probably not  as far away as I am...

It seems at least once a year now, mostly during summer, my rear view mirror comes loose and falls off. Happened again this Saturday.   I've tried several different brands of glue/ adhesive to fix it. 

Now I'm not an engineer, or a car designer, or anything thing like that.  But why does the rear view mirror need to be glued to the windshield?   Could they build a little housing structure out of the glass on the windshield.  Or could they simply have the mirror attached to the frame of the car itself. 

I have that SAME damn problem!  What is up with that??

The more I look into GG  Allin the more I wonder how he would be portrayed in today's PC standards.

I read somewhere it's considered rude in parts of Europe to ask a pregnant lady when she's due because it's considered tantamount to asking, "When did you and your SO have sex?"

If this is true, I have to say I find that kind of surprising because I've always been told that Europeans were so much more sophisticated and comfortable with sexual topics than Americans are (America being one of the places such a question would be considered normal.)

Different mores make for interesting comparisons, don't they, Mike?

I know it's not in Europe but a Saudi co-worker of mine once described how prudish it was growing up in Riyadh with the religious police everywhere, but when she came to the west she quickly found out Saudis were perfectly comfortable discussing "bodily matters" westerners winced at. She gave me some examples and I thought, yeah, those would ding a few bells, I guess, lol.

Back to Europe, one of the strange things in Ireland I used to see there is people seemed to let their kids be naked in a number of situations Americans wouldn't, from wading in the water at a public beach to "taking sunbaths" in the backyard, where multiple moms would come over to someone's house on those rare warm summer days and deposit their naked toddlers together in a group while they'd have tea and talk and the kids would mill about sky-clad in the sunshine soaking up vitamin D and "healing rays," and nobody acted like it was out of the ordinary, yet there were a lot of other taboos there that Americans wouldn't think twice about.

My grandmother over there always said someone was "expecting" or "with child" instead of pregnant, and ANY mention of a sexual topic in her house was met with first a disapproving look, then an invitation to change the subject or talk about it elsewhere. She's extreme that way, though, believe me, and most people there aren't like that (Irish outcuss Americans five to one), but maybe representative of her generation, I don't know.

The world's a peculiar and sometimes delightful place for comparing and contrasting.

We're about to suffer a huge economic collapse in Argentina, and I'm a little bit scared. It happened already in 89', but I had 2 years old back then. Now it seems that I'll be living it in the flesh. I hope not, but everything points that way.
I'm very tempted to go away to New Zealand, which I always wanted to visit, but sadly I have nothing there, and I can barely cover the cost of the flight.

Time will tell...

I own an Argentinian stock and it dropped 33% yesterday! Apparently, the reason for the collapse was the surprise loss of the current President in the primaries. I have no knowledge of Argentinian politics and no idea whether he's the right guy for the job, but it seems the markets are worried about what might be coming. Hopefully things will recover.

I've been to New Zealand, and it's one of the most pleasant, beautiful, friendliest places anywhere, with air so fresh it is like a drug. A few hours drive from any one spot will give you ultra-modern cities, sunny beaches, fjords, towering mountains, or sheep-dotted plains on bright green grass that looks like you're in Scotland. If you have a chance, visit.

I have never heard of such thing, and I've been living in Europe for most of my life. I wonder what "parts" of Europe this is referring to.

I know that if I visit that place I would never leave. Even when there's amazing places to find in my country (and I did travelled a lot, mainly in the southern parts), New Zealand has some strange power over me. Maybe it's because BAD TASTE was filmed there, I don't know.

It's... complicated. The current president and the one that's probably going to win (which is nothing more than a mere puppet) are both corrupt and inept, but the difference is that the current wants to make business with the rest of the world, and the other one doesn't, which basically was the reason of the sudden loss of trust from the overall market. Either way, we're pretty much f**ked, kinda like that Simpsons episode were the aliens take over the elections.

If there's such a thing as Reader's Digest, does that mean people can get reader's indigestion?






If there's such a thing as Acid Wash Jeans, can some of us older folks get antacid wash jeans?

So Russia had another nuclear reactor explode and the Chinese government is sending in the army to Hong Kong. We're in the 80's again.
