Not so religious penguins...

Apparently evangelists / christians in the US have adopted the winged
stars of 'March of the Penguins' as their latest example of selfless
heroes. This little article dispels the myth....

Penguins muddy the morality war

(from last Sunday's Times newspaper)

A friend of mine just mailed me this pic of a wall in Ireland that she saw during a recent trip...pretty accurate imho!

Giant Squids, by god!

This ugly critter was in today's Guardian, prompting outrage from my husband who states it can't be real as nothing has eyeballs that big....! (N.B. apologies for the scanning quality)

They're suffocating me!!!

I need to vent for two seconds here. Hopefully the Reverend will forgive me my language...

In my corner of the world it is now almost impossible to purchase Sudafed. That's right - Sudafed, the stuff you get at the pharmacy and use it as a decongestant. Why? I'll tell you...

If you take huge quantities of pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) and boil it down or distill it, you have the main ingredient in methamphetamines. So all these damn Meth-Heads are preventing me from fucking breathing!

IF you can find a store to carry it, it is locked away and you need special permission to acquire it. If you buy more than the allotted quantity (2-4 boxes [1 box lasts 5 days if taken as directed]), you have to provide ID! After all that, the price is jacked up!

This hassle is all because of these hyped up little junkies and this is ridiculous. All I want to do is breathe, dammit - and all this makes ME feel like the bad guy.

I mean come on, can't they just latch on to an eight ball of cocaine* like everyone else? Geez.


* I'm not advocating any particular drug use. I just want them to lay off my simple little decongestants. Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke. I'm getting cranky from lack of oxygen.
