“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

The value of your vote

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner. — Quote often misattributed to Benjamin Franklin “I find your lack of cookies disturbing” Today America’s voters went to the polls in one of the country’s innumerable...

The iron price

The Iron God and I have had, and continue to have, a long and fruitful relationship. I have written many times about the tremendous value to be found in lifting hard and heavy, pushing one’s body and mind to the breaking point and beyond in the crucible that is...

Turn the bullshido up to 11

So there I was, with about an hour or so to go until the end of the workday and then I could start thinking about leaving and hitting the gym. I was taking a bit of a break (read: goofing off) and surfing teh interwebz looking for mildly interesting content when I...

Happy HELLOWEEN 2014

It’s that time of year again, when you see guys dressed like idiots and girls dressed like… well, slutty idiots. Not, of course, that I’m complaining; Halloween is one of those holidays that allows us to celebrate the blessings of sexual dimorphism...

Jeremy Clarkson on the Warthog

How not to get your ass shot off

Listen to Popp, you’ll live longer and it’s good for your mental health: Also, can I just say- “Hot Fuzz” is quite possibly THE FUNNIEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME (that isn’t called “Spinal Tap”, anyway). Share this: Share on X (Opens...

The Second Amendment, in simple English
