More on Droege

[sabotabby]

Someone on Stormfront suggested that Droege's murder was linked to prostitution rather than to drugs; the fact that he was found in his underwear lends a bit of credibility to that theory.

The only thing that would have made this better would be if they found him in a clown suit.

The shooter's name is Keith Deroux, by the way. Unfortunately, I've yet to obtain a decent photo of the guy in a blood-splattered t-shirt in order to make a "Nazi-killers are love" colourbar. Sorry about that. I think the picture's in the Toronto Sun if anyone wants to scan it and send it my way.

I still won't give that filthy tabloid a cent of my hard-earned funny money, but their cover today was fantastic. Was anyone else's first thought, "zombienazis!" or was it just me?

Yes, I am a cruel and hateful person. I wouldn't have it any other way.


EDIT: Everyone click here, now! This is the best video ever made. It's like a musical version of a Thomas Kinkaid painting with mullets and crappy CGI. It's brilliant. (Thanks to syndicalist for showing me the way, the truth, and the light.)

Somehow, zombie fruit-flies seem relevant

Zombie fruit-flies are always relevant.

(Another tangent: My step-dad taught Cory Doctorow. And did not think that he was hot shit.)

I never read any of his stuff.

Re: Somehow, zombie fruit-flies seem relevant

[sabotabby]

Neither do I, but apparently he's a big deal on teh interwebs.

Re: Somehow, zombie fruit-flies seem relevant

[bike4fish.livejournal.com]

But I only read pr0n on the interwebs.

You're doing better than me, then. I just watch cheesy American jingoistic music videos.

doesn't that amount to the same thing?

Bossman used to read his fiction, back when he worked at Bakka, and also did not think he was hot shit.

He seems to have made a career doing pretty much what he wants to do, which
I've read one of his novels. The concept was interesting, and I thought he did a good job with a sort-of near-future post-cyberpunk crazed-post-dot-bust premise. Good near-future worldbuilding. Characterization, not bad. Plot, also not bad. Writing...less than stellar, but not terrible. A book for borrowing from the library.

Or getting for free from the Creative Commons.

*snrk* True for you.

Of course, "free from the Creative Commons" means that I have to pay for the paper, in order to read it on the subway (since I don't have a handheld). Borrowing from the library = fewer dead trees.

See, this is where working in an office with rather lax paper-use policies comes in handy.

Re: Somehow, zombie fruit-flies seem relevant

[zingerella.livejournal.com]

Office...policies? Offices have policies? Oh! You mean, like "Don't wear a suit," and "Put the garbage out when it's your week to put the garbage out."

Right. I get it.

We don't have a paper-use policy at the Comma Mines. I just feel guilty for wasting company resources. (Yeah, I know, it's weird.)

It's because Bossman is nice. And because we do P&Ls every week.

Re: Somehow, zombie fruit-flies seem relevant

[frandroid.livejournal.com]

P&Ls every week? Like, does everyone take on responsibilities related to that?

(In order to de-alienate the non-corporate readers in the crowd: P&L stands for Profits and Losses, if my memory serves me right.)

Bossman prints 'em out and we discuss them, briefly, at our weekly meetings. It's a really great idea. At the job before the last one I had, no one working there had much clue as to how the finances were doing; one day the sky would be falling, the next we'd be having champagne and toasting to how great everything was going.

And then the layoffs started. Now the company's been bought out and I think everyone lost their jobs.

Wow

What a creepy amalgam of Ted Nugent, Barry Gibb and Yanni. You are right on with the "Thomas Kinkaid as producer (of light)" for this video. I really want to swallow a shotgun after that, but only one that's made in the U.S. of A.

Re: Wow

[sabotabby]

Hahaha. No, no, we need unpatriotic folks to stir up dissent down there. Riots > defection > suicide. Trust me.

[zazuomgwtf.livejournal.com]

that video clip scared me...
*cringes*

[sabotabby]

You don't find patriotic mullets sexy?

No?

Me neither.

Next week's demo/vigil (and the week after that)... this will be my sign:

(In English and Hebrew)

Ba Shana Ha Ba'ah Be Yerushala'im Ha Bnuya Shel Kulam!

Next year in a rebuilt Jerusalem for everyone!

^^^ SOOOO CLEVER!

;-P

[sabotabby]

Oooh, I want one! I'm sick of our "End the Israeli occupation" hamsas. We've had them for 15 bloody years and they're starting to fall apart.
