“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.”

Did you ever wonder how Europe ended up being such an utter dog’s breakfast in terms of political alliances and associated asshattery? Blame the Treaty of Westphalia: That was from back when English comedy used to be really, really funny. These days,...

A Pict Song by Rudyard Kipling

(Speaking of walls and whether or not they work…) Rome never looks where she treads. Always her heavy hooves fall On our stomachs, our hearts or our heads; And Rome never heeds when we bawl. Her sentries pass on–that is all, And we gather behind them in...

The best a manlet can get

Staring into the face of madness

In case you woke up this morning with a severe case of the blues, perhaps you will allow me to make them worse. Here is the case of a boy, who became a man, and then decided he was gay; then eventually decided that he was actually a woman in a man’s body and...

Friday T&A: Ubermenschen Edition

To take a leaf from the pages of the book written by those ever-lovable wazzocks behind THE GREATEST TV SHOW OF ALL TIME, also known more succinctly as TOP GEAR: I get literally NO letters a week, every week, asking for more blonde-haired, blue-eyed women with big...

Supreme Dark Lord vs Bullshido

Our beloved and dreaded Supreme Dark Lord (PBUH) Voxemort the Malevolent recently turned his baleful gaze upon a certain Joe Rogan, and the results were… well, pretty damned interesting: As is the norm with His Voxness’s Darkstreams, this one is an hour...
