By Isolde on Thursday, February 3, 2000 - 08:49 pm:

    Hmmm...interesting. Guess there will be lots more now.


By Markus on Monday, February 7, 2000 - 10:48 am:

    The local rag runs a weekly travel contest. Yesterday's was to give the English equivalents for the local names of three countries. Magyarorszag was obviously Hungary, but I was surprised by Bharat (India) and Misr (Egypt).


By droopy on Monday, February 7, 2000 - 11:24 am:

    the local indian radio show around these parts is called "radio bharti".


By Nate on Monday, February 7, 2000 - 11:32 am:

    so we can call 'mercin indians 'indians' again since the east indians aren't nothing more than bharatis?


By Markus on Monday, February 14, 2000 - 03:57 pm:

    Jerry Lewis stunned an audience gathered to honor his work by saying he doesn,t like female comics and veiws woman as "a producing machine"for children.Fuck that putrid no talent old hack.FUCK YOU JERRY LEWIS!!! When is that bastard going to die?


By Markus on Tuesday, February 15, 2000 - 11:55 am:

    I dread the day Jerry Lewis dies almost as much as the death of Bob Hope, Johnny Carson, and other mediocrities. An insufferable avalanche of "appreciations" will be unleashed. As if we hadn't suffered enough the first time around, now we have to relive it all again? I've so far managed to avoid those for Charles Schulz.


By Nate on Tuesday, February 15, 2000 - 12:03 pm:

    Connecticut is known as the nutmeg state, because after the Civil War, carpetbaggers from Connecticut travelled around the South, selling fake nutmeg that was actually little oval shaped pieces of wood.


By crimson on Tuesday, February 15, 2000 - 01:34 pm:

    the arkansas state instrument is the fiddle. the state beverage is milk (i would've guessed pabst blue ribbon). the state fruit/vegetable is the vine-ripe pink tomato. arkansas has north america's only diamond mine.

    arkansas is a sucking cultural pit. but that's a useful fact.


By J on Tuesday, February 15, 2000 - 02:21 pm:

    Czarina is funny,Jerry Lewis is not,the french think he is funny.FUCK the French,Fuck Jerry Lewis in the ass.

    ALCOHOLISM IN FRANCE - So serious have become the evils resulting from the use of alcohol by the people of France that the physicians and surgeons of the hospitals have issued a public warning, which is placarded all over the country in the hope that it may help to reduce the evils of alcoholism. This placard is distributed by the public powers and posted conspicuously in the public hospitals. It reads, in part, as follows:

    "Alcoholics become insane easily and are liable to very painful forms of paralysis. We often treat workingmen who have been very robust and who have become rapidly consumptive because they have regularly taken before each meal their _aperitifs_.

    "_The children of alcoholic parents are almost always badly formed, weak minded, insane, scrofulous or epileptic. They die often in convulsions.

    "Criminals are in large part alcoholics or the _children of alcoholics_."

    The italics are ours.

    --from _Eugenics_.

    now you know.

    (scrofulous means affected with a certain form of tuberculosis or morally tainted)

    Alaska is known as "The Rimjob State" on account of the early settlers' habit of licking eachother's hindquarters in an effort to keep warm during the brutal winter months. Legend has it that the custom began back in 1794 when oral-explorer Cornhole Schaubencrack discovered that his wife's puckered lovebucket was 4 degrees warmer than the temperature in her juiced coochie. Always the resourceful opportunist, Cornhole wasted no time in lubricating up the old poop-shoot with his crackerjack tongue acrobatics and promptly slipping his frost-bitten nose into her dripping sphincter in order to take advantage of the extra heat.

    "nothin' warms the cockles like standin' at ground zero in a loose-booty explosion!", the jovial Cornhole was fond of saying.

    The custom spread like wildfire among the original settlers of the Rimjob State and soon thereafter frostbitten pilgrims could be found lounging in their cabins with their extremeties lovingly stuffed up their spouse's rectums. So next time you're in bed paying homage to the little brown lovepucker, take a pause for the cause to remember good ol' Cornhole Schaubencrack.

    And remember Alaska, too.

    The shit-lickin' 49th state of this fecal-freak union.


By droopy on Tuesday, February 15, 2000 - 03:20 pm:

    damn, my cousin is in alaska.

    but she's a lesbian.


By Spider on Tuesday, February 15, 2000 - 03:21 pm:

    He's right about the "4 degrees warmer" part.


By mistaswine on Tuesday, February 15, 2000 - 03:30 pm:

    hey, man.

    lesbians have puckered lovebuckets too.


By semillama on Tuesday, February 15, 2000 - 03:34 pm:

    My day has been made.


By droop on Tuesday, February 15, 2000 - 03:50 pm:

    oh, it was the nose that was being warmed.
