RAH AND BLAH
BLAH
Go stick your head in the loo
You name something full of addictive niccotine and give it a name like Choice? Why not just sell a big fucking vat of Heroin called 'Independence', or a new type of Vodka shot called 'Dignity and Composure'?
We go through life with some level of basic respect and decency towards our world and fellow man. Then we get jobs in retail, realise we hate everyone and figure hey, why not live like Hoggish Greedly? Leave our filth everywhere for the treeless birds to scavenge.
Thanks to Lorna Jean now all you running types can spend shitloads of money identifying yourself as a running type. Just don't let yourself remember that these images were probably made up by fat white 40 year old men so they could suck up your money, and you can let the good feeling flow. Ahh.
RAH
Like finding a bright green puppy in your cereal box 
The Name. The Mustache. The Profession. It's hard to believe he wasn't made by Marvel. In fact I had a whole comic book about him, where he's a banker whose family was murdered by mutants. He's trying to destroy all mutants by evicting the X-Men off their property. While he's there though there is an attack, and he finds himself fighting for his life, and is ready to betray or befriend any mutant on a whim - it was the best thing ever.

When you pick up a saucepan off the table and you put it on your gas stove and the fire is like, wayyy bigger than it should be and you turn it off but it keeps burning away and you look under and see what seems to be a marshmallow - it means the plug was stuck to your saucepan.
Things on Strings Fasionrat
A lot of the time we think fashion is only what goes on in shops. However, a great deal of what ends up as cool really starts with a handful of random tripperkids discovering something fun.
Fashion rarely begins in a marketing meeting. Fashion just happens. Its fun. Its silly. And that spirit of irreverence and experimentation (as opposed to the simple excess of the great marketing machine) is what makes Things on Strings so appealing. IT is as it sounds; Take a thing, add string; wear. Done!
1: Lego. Some dude I know connected one BIG piece of lego to a string, so that then he could just add and subtract to it at his leisure. This girl used a lego octopus, which is equally cool.

2: Lollies (strictly speaking, candy). Those mad lolly necklaces that you get for about a buck in a 7-11. We know that youre not really meant to wear then unless youre aged under twelve, but theyre really cool. So to hell with you, spoilsports.
3. Key chains. So yes theyre made for keys. But by now Im sure youve worked out its all about re-contextualisation. How would it look around your neck? Try it. Really Long Link keychain.
4. CDs. Yes, they are meant to be listened too. But CDs get scratched, broken, drawn on etc. When this happens, dont ditch it! Chuck it on a string, and there you go!
5. Rings. Again, not meant for your neck, but hopefully by now youve worked out that if it was MEANT to go around your neck, you really shouldnt bother. A ring around the neck it a pleasant thing, especially where it shares a meaning with a special someone.
6. Basically anything that has a hole in it can have a string through it; so why wait? Get stringy!
7. 7. draw it. Really Long Link
8. Stuff. Toys. Really Long Link

Horus is an example of therianthropy, the combination of human and wild elements. Subcultures based around this may form part of the Otherkin identity
Otherkin would have to be one of the more unusual social groups I've found via the Net - Humans who claim they're not human. As such.
And come on, work with me here - that's kind of cool right?
Otherkin regard themselves as animals, aliens, extra dimensional beings or other non humans. This is usually depicted as the state of an individuals soul, within a human body, generally attributed to the (I love this term) 'Oops, missed' theory of reincarnation. However there are exceptions - the Vampyres, for instance.
Generally becoming aware of their Vampiric status through discovering THE THIRST - the need to drink blood, (or for psionic vampyres - energy) . Not that theres any real need to fear for your neck - these days biting is kind of frowned upon, and the drinking of human blood seems more a process of hypodermic needles and blood tests. Vampyres can get diseases too.

Call them liberals, Left wing or progressive. No matter what you want to call them, there is an understanding that there are two relatively distinct groups in our society; the Left and the Right.
Obviously if we are to lump these mobs into two groups there are very specific and visible differences between them. This article seeks to clarify, not specific views on controversial issues, but general ideological views that seem to define what is today recognised as the left wing

Youre a polite individual. You say please and thank you, and treat people with decency and respect. However, for some reason this does not seem to have a positive influence on your social life in fact, quite the opposite. You still feel awkward around your peers, tongue tied where others speak freely in social situations, and find the girls of your dreams walking straight past you, into the arms of the biggest jerk in the world.
Dont worry. Youre not alone in your confusion. The difficulty youre having comes from a misconception in what constitutes politeness itself

We simply must do everything we can in our power to slow down global warming before it is too late... The science is clear. The global warming debate is over. Arnold Schwarzenegger, bill signing ceremony for California's strict anti-emissions law, September 26, 2006
The answer to global warming is in the abolition of private property and production for human need. A socialist world would place an enormous priority on alternative energy sources. This is what ecologically-minded socialists have been exploring for quite some time now. Louis Proyect, Columbia University

Sigur Ros are a wonderful and beautiful Icelandic band. Many of their lyrics are not even in a genuine language, but an invented one called Hopelandic, based on Icelandic sounds and open to interpretation.
Hoppippolla though, is predominantly in Icelandic. The title means Jumping In Puddles. The lyrics reference a group of friends having simple childhood adventures. The film clip porteys this with a childlike group of elders, and is a wonderful piece of film

I find great difficulty in expressing the awesomeness of Tori Amos. Her music is classy, emotional, intense. Her work is
more pretentious than I tend to like. Artistic to the point of pointless. But thats no thing. It sounds awesome.
One thing about Tori is that shes a feminist. So as one might be able to simply assume safely, shes not the biggest supporter of the following song
