‘we’ve got some work to do now’ (via Dr. Monster)

Awesome. Dr. Monster has a shit-load of amazing creations on the flickr stream. Rayguns and all.

Normally I loathe such blatant watermarking, but when sites like Fffffound are circulating your stuff without attribution, I can see the need. Especially with something like this where people’s desire to put it on a t-shirt is going to be overwhelming.

Inculcation

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 22:46:09 -0800

I’m against anyone inculcating children other than their parents. Even then, it’s really a vile concept. How about you raise your kids to be smart, curious, skeptical, friendly and sweet, but not gullible, and let the chips fall where they may?

The worst that could happen is they become Communists.

But inculcation:

instill (an attitude, idea, or habit) by persistent instruction

implies instructing someone to adhere and accept something without questioning it’s actual value or truthfulness.

Words mean things. Not always nice things. Symbols stand for things. Don’t value the symbol more than the thing. And does the reality of the thing actually conform to the idyllic symbol representing it?

Teach them to think, don’t inculcate. We don’t need more brainless talking point mouthpieces.

Oh gulp. In searching for the online images of the wild pony prints I have, I found another heartbreakingly exquisite image of a pony in the Pyrenees.

More wild ponies! These are from Holland! I wonder if she’ll sell a print to go in the dining room along with the wild Welsh ponies and the wild ponies of the Pyranees, and the exquisite Arabian of Austria?

No wonder Marvin’s been going berserk at the foot of my chair: these are some of his toys I found under it. Note: I only give him one toy at a time. Note: he wouldn’t leave the pile alone long enough for me to photograph-this loot had already been raided for his favorite blue mouse.

“

Jobs said that Apple’s White Slaves – all of which are adults between the ages of 18 and 30 – would all be offered at one flat price of $10,000. This prompted some analysts to deride the lack of choice.

“This is just another example of how it’s always Apple’s way or the highway,” said Rob Enderle of the Rob and Mary Show. “Let’s say you’re looking to acquire several 9-year-olds. Well, Apple’s not interested in your business.

“This is why they’re going to go out of business any day now. I mean, have you heard they’re into slave trading?! And no 9-year olds! What is up with that?!”

”

I did this for six years. I still wonder sometimes what, exactly, the fuck I was doing.

These are so Kawaii only an ingredient like “fish gelatin” can ruin them. Which they have explicitly stated in the ingredients. I suppose it’s supposed to be better than beef or pork-derived gelatin.
