“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.”

Teh gheyness is NOT the norm

The always delightful and always outspoken Ms. Barnhardt- she of the hilariously awesome Koran + bacon + lighter fluid video from a couple of years back- came up with a great sci-fi analogy to explain how our most important and cherished institutions have been...

The Gamma and the bench press

McRapey* recently took to his Twitter feed to congratulate his daughter on her weightlifting achievements. Nothing wrong with that, clearly- but then he went and did something very stupid indeed: This, of course, inevitably caused the rest of us who aren’t a...

My kind of burger joint

“Yes dear, you ARE fat”

The Daily Mail asked three very different couples whether they had broken what the Cathedral thinks is a serious taboo in marriage- and got three very interesting answers: Emily says . . . My first child, Henry, was just hours old when I noticed my husband Tim’s...
