When things Blow Up...people...and Gnomes.The Gnomination
I just read, on my handy dandy msn homepage that New Delhi, or parts of it, just blew up.
Things blow up in Chandigarh all the time, given the copious amounts of children, festivals and available fireworks I hear an average of 10 concussive airbursts a day and plethora other m-80/rapid cracker/zimmeroo type dealies cracking, popping, booming and chattering...occasionally there is some light associated. But never to rarely any injuries.
It's odd when that happens at the best of times, but from all reports...one being the total that I have read...this (these) was (were) worse than odd. It seems that members of...well...Pakistan(more specific definition to come, blame the world's intelligence community...it sounds funny) decided that India had just gone too far with this last bit of aid to their fellow Kashmiri nationals and that they were probably going to offer more aid too if something wasn’t done soon. I imagine they figured this will teach the world's other nations a rudding good lesson about thinking about, not to mention actually aiding the people of Pakistan in times of crisis...nothing like a few retaliatory civic bombings to even the score...BOOM!! "there, aid yourselves" they seemed to say. oh,... I'd better stop, my sarcasm just started to eat through the linoleum here and the proprietor of this internet cafe is getting upset.
Seriously, I'm really starting to think that the human genome( G-Noam? (G) nome??)* project might be an okay idea just in case there’s a chance of finding and rewiring all those "things that will kill my species are delightful!" genes with the "oh give it a go you only die once" genes. It seems well timed for GW or * as he is known in the better newspapers of the world. His recent "most passionate speech"-(guy on BBC yesterday) in Virginia was all about the age old war on terror, and India wants some US attention by all reports. Pakistan, the latest Stan to no doubt soon join the many Stans already riding on the axel of evil may find that earthquake was but a harbinger of greater evils...what was it that Danish dude...Claude...something…Ius, maybe… said about "when sorrows come they come not single spies but in battalions" eerie wording man...if Shakespeare is remembered after humans stop being intelligent enough to put on plays it will surely be for his Nostradmously reusable quotes. Those battalions were supposed to be carrying food, and tents, likely they'll be carrying something else now.
WARNING!
The following paragraph contains profanity...and is intended for a not tooooo adult audience...be warned. it may also be rather vaguely understood by most. If your over 40, and know me...best to cut'er loose now and avoid awkward conversations later. Cheers!
In other news...Cam Murray...thanks for the chat...this is what happens when we stop talking. And Al...I'll get that number to ya...10-1 B*TCHES it's a Celebration!!!!
The Nutshell: Total number of exploding stupid things: 6
Total number of reported dead...where I get news: 50 or so
Total number of PG Wodehouse books I now own: 7 soft covers and one 3 story omnibus.
it's been a quite a day.
Peace!
