Opening salvo: You are in serious need of an intervention, my son. I humbly present for your consideration the following Twelve Step Program for Hopeless Star Wars Addicts:
1. We admit that we are powerless over George Lucas - that our lives have become unmanageable.
2. We believe that a Force - sorry! - Power greater than ourselves can restore us to sanity.
3. We decide to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Jar-Ja... darnit!... God as we understand Him.
4. Make a searching and fearless inventory of our Star Wars movies, books, action figures, and ticket stubs from the premiere of "Return of the Jedi."
5. Admit to Darth... blast!... God, to ourselves and to another carbon-based life form (no 'droids!) the exact nature of our addiction.
6. We are entirely ready to have Chancellor Palpa... doggone it!... God remove all these defects of alleged character.
7. Humbly ask Han, er, Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Make a list of all Tuske... damn!... movie-goers we have harmed, and become willing to make amends to them all.
9. Make direct amends to such fans wherever possible, except when to do so would prevent the production of Indiana Jones IV, as we are only humanoid, after all.
10. Continue to take personal inventory and when we are wrong promptly throw out our secret stash of Star Wars comics that we kept in our garage after step 4.
11. Seek through expensive psychotherapy to improve our conscious contact with reality, as defined by Hollywood, praying only that Industrial Light & Magic save us from too much reality.
12. Having had our walk with the Dark Side, we try to carry this message to other hopeless Star Wars addicts, and to practice these principles in all of our affairs.
You need help. Your thoughts betray you. I am your father!

Rusty, did I ever tell you I've met Natalie Portman in NYC? It was at this A-list benefit that Ewan McGregor was throwing (the two are good friends)...problem was, security was extremely tight and she was not being let in because they said she wasn't on the list. The only reason I got in was because one of my friends who planned/managed the event for Ewan snuck me in. Anyway, it was fun to walk up to security with my all access bracelet and be like, "Yo, she's with me" while winking at her. She didn't miss a beat and played right along, thanking me when we got in. Anyway, she and Ewan were really cool. Very down to earth. He was sporting a huge beard for some reason as well... Thought you'd find the story amusing.

I speak for all Bushian Warfare Cultees when I say Collin, my friend we are watching you. We have black ops (Haliburton) right now surrounding your home. When we obduct you, we'll make you read the Protocols of Zion to a secret assembly in Israel. We'll then turn the entire middle-east into Kosher Vienna sausage or potted meat product and sell it to Haliburton. Then we giggle as we frolic in ill-gotten cash!

Dear Pixy,
Thank you for joining us. As your brilliant leader ships refugees to concentration camps in South Australia and Nauru, you have declared Australia "does not suck." I choose to disagree with you and the bizarre Wowser revival.

In South Australia I was born,
Heave away, haul away,
South Australia 'round Cape Horn,
Bound for South Australia!
Heave away you rolling king,
Heave away, haul away,
Heave away oh hear me sing,
Bound for South Australia!
The refugees, as you term them, are not in concentration camps. They can leave any time they like. They are just not permitted to take up residence in Australia.
You got a problem with that?
Posted by: Pixy Misa at April 24, 2005 04:31 AM (+S1Ft)

Dear Pixy,
Yes I do. The refugees are denied basic human rights there. In a land that supposedly believes in "fair go", that is atrocious.

And we can refer to it as the R.N.W.B.I.H.C. for short... darn it Collin, you were the muse that inspired my genius on discovering who really is at fault for the evil in the world today.. and I went and was originially thinking it wasa bunch of extremist Islamists.. man.. was I WAAAAAY OFF!!

Anyone in here ever see "Super-Size Me"? Notice how since then, MD has been on the health kick? It seems that whatever country starts having MD, the population starts to get fat-ass syndrome. Maybe we should be dropping cheeseburgers in Iraq instead of bombs? Coming out of my college days, I was a hefty 205...eatin' pizza and drinking beer. I decided to drop the beer and cheese for a month to see what would happen: I lost 50 fucking pounds in a month! This extreme wasn't my intention, but it sure does tell you something about metabolism. People weren't recognizing me & if they did, they'd assume I was sick, or was on speed. Hahaha... Now I just work out like a motherfucker, drink a little wine and try to eat more healthy.

Seems bali has themselves a western woman who quiet possibly had 4.1kg of marijuana planted on her. It makes no sense that she would take such a substance to a country where you could obtain it for 100$ and sell it for vastly more back home. Why would a woman leave on vacation packing a 4.1kg pillow sized package of marijuana has never been answered. But the corrupt indonesian legal system seems to think that not checking evidence for finger prints and pawing all over it is good business. Figures these allah barkers would do that.

Dear Mr. K,
The UN Declaration of Human Rights is a legal document. Australia, formerly of good reputation, treats migrants almost like animals by shoving them into cages in desert and island gulags. Their brilliant leader has thrown Australian independent thinking to the wind by kowtowing to the Bushian Warfare Cult's War of Terror. Their brilliant leader has accepted his new Gwotty "deputy" role with glee. Since his subordination to Bush has gone into effect, Australia now finds itself the ire of angry jihadis and a tormentor of detainees.

Mr. K - I'm not kidding about the goats.* But at least the goats can fight back:
The deployment of Jordanian peacekeepers to East Timor was probably one of the most contentious UN decisions to follow the bloody independence ballot. It was eclipsed only by the cover-up and inaction that followed when the world body learned of their involvement in a series of horrific sex crimes involving children living in the war-battered Oecussi enclave.
Children were not the only victims - in early 2001, two Jordanians were evacuated home with injured penises after attempting sexual intercourse with goats.

Dear Pixy,
"Dr. Sev Ozdowski charged, "This is not ancient history. We are still abusing a significant number of children in detention now." Ozdowski appealed to the general public, "All Australians should look at these findings, read the examples and think of their children or the children of their friends and ask themselves?how would I feel if my children were raised behind bars and their human rights abused? Almost 93% of these families have been accepted as 'genuine refugees,' so why do we lock them up for years behind barbed wire? The treatment of some of these children has left them severely traumatised and with long-term mental health problems. Children with emotional and physical scars will be a legacy of our mandatory detention policy.
Anyone who promotes such barbaric treatment of people deserves to be called a monster, your brilliant "deputized" leader included.

Well, if you had any sense at all, you might feel that it is time to leave. Which you would be free to do at any time.
Almost 93% of these families have been accepted as 'genuine refugees'
Accepted by whom? And what are 'genuine refugees'? Do they bear any relation to genuine refugees?
The treatment of some of these children has left them severely traumatised and with long-term mental health problems.

Dear Pixy,
Australia's desert and island gulag shenanigans violate UN conventions. Your brilliant "deputized" leader and his sidekick Ruddock have disgraced your nation in the eyes of the world.
ndefinite detention is any form of confinement without charge or trial for an unknown period of time and without legal protection. Detention that is not subject to judicial review is of serious concern because it is arbitrary, and as such is in breach of Australia?s international legal obligations. The right to liberty and freedom from arbitrary detention has been a core element of formal human rights standards since being enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as well as a number of other human rights treaties to which Australia is a signatory.
On numerous occasions the United Nations has investigated the detention of refugees and asylum seekers in Australia, and has found that the government?s mandatory detention policy to be inconsistent with Australia?s international human rights commitments. The government continues to reject these findings, and as a result of
last August?s High Court decision those breaches of international law are now entrenched in Australian law.

Anyway, evidence for this assertion?
night checks
What's wrong with night checks?

I found a lump of aniseed in my fried rice the other day, which made it taste really nasty.
You know, I can't find "bad food" anywhere in the UN Declaraion on Human Rights.

Yep. Since they are all either falsehoods or unsupported assertions, they are a clear sign of your sordid depravity.

Right, Collin, that's a flat-out lie.

There are people in detention who are not allowed to leave. Kids are being raised behind razor wire.
http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=599
"Deputized" refers to how your leader accepted his Deputy title and its' raw subordination to the U.S. Instead of keeping its' good reputation, now Australia tortures children and gets shot at in the Bushian Iraqi quagmire.

Kids are being raised behind razor wire.
Only because their parents choose this. They are free to leave at any time. How hard is that to understand, Collin? THEY ARE FREE TO LEAVE AT ANY TIME.
"Deputized" refers to how your leader accepted his Deputy title
You mean how he never said anything of the sort, never accepted anything of the sort, never made any comment relating to anything of the sort?
In other words, it's a blatant lie.
Instead of keeping its' good reputation, now Australia tortures children
No it doesn't.
It keeps children with their families. If their parents refuse to leave the detention centres, then the children remain there.
Torture, Collin, is torture. That article you linked to is complete bullshit. It notes four points required to establish torture, and fails to establish any of those points, or anything remotely resembling any of those points.
Facts, Collin, not some deluded opinion.
From that article:
Asylum seekers who make it alive in rickety boats to the Australian coastline, or even within Australian waters, are automatically kept in custody until the outcome of their refugee claims is decided.
See that, Collin? They are kept in custody until the outcome of their refugee claim is decided. You know what that is? JUDICIAL REVIEW. You know what else? At any time, they can drop their claim to refugee status, and leave. Any time at all. They even get a free ticket home.
Again from that article:
Whole family groups are locked up, including their newborn babies.
Right. So what would you have us do, Collin? Separate these families? Take away their newborn babies?
and gets shot at in the Bushian Iraqi quagmire.
Haha! He said "quagmire"!
Collin, Iraq has held free elections. Eight million people voted.
The new president of Iraq is a Kurd.
Quagmire my arse.

No.
"In 2000 Howard sparked anger in Asia when he reportedly said Australia's role in the region could be as a "deputy sheriff" to Washington."
It didn't happen.
Get it right, Collin, this "deputy sheriff" incident never happpened. It's as true as the "plastic turkey" incident.
An editor added the "Deputy Sheriff" line as a sub-heading to an interview before it was printed.
The Prime Minister never said it.
The interviewer never said it.
The United States never said it.
It was not part of the interview or part of the article.
It was added on, afterwards, by someone else.
What flunkeyism! Your very own brilliant leader took Australia, rolled it up and put it squarely under Bush's oily jackboot. He should be ashamed of his behavior.
The alliance and friendship of Australia and the United States is honourable and long-standing, and you, Collin, are full of shit.

It is with great sorrow I observe such depraved behavior toward refugees.
You've "observed" this so-called "depraved behavior" but you can't tell me what it is?

Dear Pixy,
CNN reported all about the Deputy Sheriff remarks. First Howard said it, then he was re-branded with it. Serves him right.
An alliance is based on an equal power relationship, whereas Brilliant Howard has gone out of his way to lower your standing to the depraved pugnacity of the Bushian Warfare Cult. Selling out Australia to be a blind follower of such Washington zealots is a sad spectacle. I feel sorry for you for having such a bizarre leader who is so obsessed with subordination.

If they reported that Howard said it, they were wrong.
First Howard said it, then he was re-branded with it.
He never said it. He never said anything like it. It's entirely bullshit.

No he hasn't.
Anyway, hurrah for the Depraved Pugnacity of the Bushian Warfare Cult!
Speaking of which, Depraved Pugnacity WBAGNFARB.
I feel sorry for you for having such a bizarre leader who is so obsessed with subordination.
You say he's obsessed? He didn't make up the story. He's not the one still pushing that same tired lie all these years later.
Read this, Collin. Assuming you can actually read.

Could whoever is pretending to be Collin please not? I know he's a tiresome idiot, but having other people pretending to be tiresome idiots isn't really an improvement.
Besides which, how can I nail his hide to the wall for something he said when there are other people posting in his name?

Collin? To hell with the Useless Nations human rights treaty.
If someone is in a country ILLEGALLY they have no rights under that countries laws.....plain and simple...laws are made for the CITIZENS of the land....not 'those within its's borders'...criminals should be prosecuted, not coddled under some humanistic bullshit one world ideal.

Woody - I noted that "Bushian War Cult" would be a good name for a rock band, and it was all downhill from there.
I've been to Collin's so-called blog, and I have trouble believing it. I mean, he's such a perfect leftist robot - he's swallowed every single lie. I mean everything. Not an ounce of skepticism when it comes to socialism. How can someone like that function?

Massive amounts of drugs/alcohol coupled with a carefully selected peer group. You gave it a nice try Pixy, but Collin is too far gone to be helped. He would rather exist in his carefully constructed worldview than the one that really exists.

Not much is new I just noticed you didn't seem to be out here as usual. I have been pretty busy. I was able to do a little morel hunting over the weekend. 4 hrs up and down hills. Got a pretty good bag of them but I got worn out and didn't notice that my bag got a rip in it. Yep lost almost all of them including an awsome giant white morel about 6 inches. I was livid. Got over it and cut the grass. Wine really looking good. turning a nice translucent dark color. Still some lighter stuff at the bottom. There is like a line between the two colors that moves downward a bit each day. Very little bubbling now about 2 or three times an hour. I expect it will be ready next week. I'm pretty miffed about work. Some people just piss me off. They don't do the advance work and then they want you to bail them out at the last minute. Various other work issues rubbing me the wrong way today. I'm about ready to do something stupid. Cool blue ocean, cool blue ocean..... Ok that's better.

Nothing like the a new pope to calm the nerves eh. I think a little drink may be in order this evening. Time to decompress. After my crushing week last week on Sunday my resting BP was 140/90 pulse 93. I need a vacation.

Oh I love that flick, Eh blondie. I'm starting to feel better. I'm working just not too hard. I get wound up. The nervous energy is an advantage sometimes. But too much is too much. One thing for sure I should be satisfied sexually, I've been getting fucked here for about 10 years now. Yep I'll take your advice. Sure beats going down to the boss and demanding satisfaction. Like I say I'm already satisfied. Plus you know how I am about doublespeak. He's full of that.

VATICAN CITY -" A day after reaching out to other Christians and to Jews in his installation Mass, Pope Benedict XVI met Monday with members of the Muslim community, assuring them the church wanted to continue building “bridges of friendship” that he said could foster peace in the world."

Newspapers struggle to avoid their own obit
“They face dwindling circulation and competition from other outlets, but are likely to survive - if they can adapt.”
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/csm/20050425/ts_csm/apressrun
Actually, they can survive, even thrive, if they would just tell the public the truth. The constant lies to serve the government and corporations are why people are turning away from the mainstream media and to blogs like this one.
But the mainstream media isn't interested in factual reporting. They earn their pay telling stories about Iraqi WMDs, and "Al Qaeda", and the "suicides" of people who seemed very happy but just happened to be in possession of damning evidence, and rotten meat sold by supermarkets, and GOP orgies, and how 300 witnesses to a missile killing a jumbo jet didn't really see a missile because they were all drunk and how an astrologer has predicted the next "Al Qaeda" terrorist attack.
What the mainstream media wants it to be able to go on lying and make money from it, and nobody will pay to be lied to when the truth is out there for free.

Or how about "Outlaw Josey Wales". That is about my favorite Clint E flick. I like Chief Dan George in that. "Maybe I'm not as old as I thought I was" or "Rock candy not for eating Just for looking through". Yep I'm a corprate guy. Got all the goods. Salary benfits, Endless supply of work. What I don't have are co workers that give a rat's ass. That tends to add to the endless supply of work. I don't hate "corprate america" I hate cleaning up after halfasses. If they spent half as much time on the work as they spend with their heads up the bosses ass things would be a lot better.

They only want the dough and the benies without the sacrifice of long work hours, right?
Ah, "Josey Wales"--the first Eastwood flick I saw in the theatre as a lad. Also a favorite. I like the line "Buzzards gotta eat, too," drawled right after he spits a nice blob of tobacco juice on a dead bounty hunter's upturned forehead. (Jane Fonda was not around.)

You got it right on the head. Now I'm not saying me and the company see eye to eye on everything. Like I think maybe they should throw a few bucks my way for the extra hours (won't happen).
How about the line ;"Dying ain't much of a livin boy"
The kid leaves:
The kid returns "I had to come back"
Josey says "I Know" and kills the poor bastard.
I also like "The man with no name"

Howie: As a kid I used to read Weird Western Tales/Jonah Hex--a scruffy bounty hunter patterened after the MWNN. Gritty stuff, back then. Then they switched artist and it went downhill after that.
Lee Van Cleef also has a few good solo spaghetti western projects '68-'70.
