“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.”

Shorts

It’s been a while since I last did one of these collections of badthink, and since there is far more going on than I can be arsed to write about on any given day (as I do, in fact, have a job and a fairly busy life), I figured that this might be as good a time...

Grass-fed shitlordery

In the spirit of fair and balanced treatment of vegans: Yep. That’s how it’s done. Again, I’ll be the first to defend “cool” vegans who aren’t complete dicks about their fussy eating habits. I have the great good fortune to be good...

“And now I shall crush his spirit”

You know you’re watching something special when Roger Federer is performing at his peak on Centre Court at Wimbledon- and when he’s simply dicking with his opponents, as he does in these 17 spectacular rallies: Watching the Championships this year was...

“Hey, I told you that I’m a vegan, right?!?”

Back during the earlier seasons, House, M.D. was really, really funny at times, particularly during the scenes when Hugh Laurie’s famously misanthropic doctor had to deal with patients at his hospital’s free walk-in clinic. There was a rather good set...

The crossover we need

What happens when the funniest TV show spoof about spies runs headfirst in to the best comical take on spy movies in recent memory? Well… this: I have to say, I’m really looking forward to the new Kingsman film. The first one completely blew past...

Indomitus

“Bloody hell, he’s done it again. He’s made the impossible seem trivial.” That was something along the lines of my thought process when I saw the final scoreline of the gentlemen’s singles championship match at Wimbledon on Sunday. Roger...

Know your target market

Two very different coffee companies, two very different approaches to advertising more or less the same product: Clearly, the two companies in question know their target demographics very well indeed. Any red-blooded man watching the first video would immediately jump...

The choice

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our...

If you can’t beat the bastards…

BLOODY WELL HIT THEM HARDER!!!: Clearly, the mighty God-Emperor is in absolutely no mood to back off and play nice with those attacking him so relentlessly, and with such laughable ineptitude. As far as I am concerned, of course, I am absolutely delighted to see...

A myth in need of busting

I was shooting the shit with this woman that I’ve come to know well over the last 10 months or so via text messages the other day. She’s Eastern European, over 30, and still quite lovely despite the fact that I can see from her Facebook photos (the ones...
