Sentential Links #21

Once more unto the Sentence, dear friends!

:: It is my belief, that anything that happens in real life can be understood by either watching The Simpsons, or Star Trek (or both!). (This appears to be about the only thing on this blog that I can agree with, strangely enough. Hat tip to Lynn.)

:: White Christian males are neither oppressed nor a minority, so their whinging about being a minority oppressed by secularism or anything else is just so much poppycock. (Indeed.)

:: This is as close to doing porn as I'll ever get: blowing on my big white cockatoo... See how he likes it? (I'm sorry, folks. Really.)

:: The most interesting thing in the final two Star Wars movies was the suggestion that when he didn't have to drag Anakin around with him, Obi-wan was leading the life of a Jedi Philip Marlowe.

But that's another post. (Ah, dammit!)

:: I have had only four real girlfriends, and been gone on dates with a grand total of eight women. (Wow. Compared to me, John's a player. My numbers thereof are three, and five. Oh, and he's been posting up a storm lately. Go check him out.)

:: Anyway, if you’ve been not reading Wheel of Time books of late (and who could blame you) go ahead and Read some chapter summaries and get cracking. This one was _good_... (Well, umm...)

:: Science is Made out of Metal (OK, that's a post title, but it works because it's a complete sentence. Anyway....)

:: But just Einstein? Nope. Don't think so. You lost him a long, long time ago. He's not yours anymore, especially not to deploy in the service of German self-esteem. (New blog to me. Liberal snark, but with a different voice.)

:: Another question I get is, "Fish can't feel pain, right?" It's usually phrased exactly that way, too—they aren't looking for an accurate answer, they're looking for a reassurance that casual brutality towards cold and slimy creatures is acceptable. The actual answer, though, is "Of course they can feel pain, you clueless boob! Mind if I put this barbed hook through your lip?" (Dammit. So much for having salmon tonight. I guess I'll have a burger instead. Oh wait...dammit!)

OK, that's all for this week. Tune in again next Monday. (Yes, I've officially moved Sentential Links to Mondays.)
