A World of Cheese, For your Pleasure

Cat attire

I'm not a pet owner, but why the fuck is this cat wearing a shirt?

So I suppose you won't mind if I piss in your pool?

Or your drink, for that matter? A new take on the saying, "I don't swim in your toilet, so don't pee in my pool." (link)

When horsefucking is considered art

I have been meaning to do a larger entry discussing the line between pornography and art for some time over at Blue Nuit (NSFW), but I haven't got around to it. Ihave to ask, though, why is it that Indian termples depicting practically any and every type of sexual expression and act you can think of considered art and is worthy of preservation, but the stuff I show at Blue Nuit considered harmful and disgusting crap (pornography)? What would a fundie Baptist say about this art? "Silly ignorant Indian heathens!" or "Evil Indian heathens!" Or would anti-porn feminists find this stuff to be artistic? What are the criteria?

• Must be at least 500 years old;
• Must not use any media dating from the 20th century or later;
• Must have a spiritual setting (maybe nun porn could fit in here);

I don't know what other arbitrary things you could add to that list. Don't get me wrong: I don't think it's pornography, either. I think that it has more value by virtue of its age alone. However, as far as I know, they performed those actions for many if not all of the same reasons we do: to get off. It bothers me that the depictions lawful sex are wrong on DVD but right when set in stone.

George Michael: In Search of Cheap Thrills

George Michael has been caught being naughty in public again, but this time with an unlikely partner: an incredibly ordinary beer-bellied 58-year-old man, in a public park. I guess I get the theory behind cheap thrills, but come the fuck on, man. You could do better than this, and I am not just talking about the fact that this guy could be an aging Fred Flintstone.

Sleeping together bad for men good for women

Probably has something to do with feeling safe, secure and loved, which I will never understand. That is, I will never relate to needing anyone else to feel that way. Maybe when I am really old...(link)

Smoking ban kills jobs in Ontario

The province-wide smoking ban has cost some 300 jobs at the Casino in Windsor, according to the officials. Are the ones in Ontario and Quebec the only ones that ban smoking? If not, how are the other ones doing? I admit that I have an anti-smoking bias here, but the other reasons for business going to the shitter seem far more pertinent to me than smoking such as the 90-cent dollar and the renovations. Especially that dollar. They should look at the other businesses there that rely on American money to survive and see how they are doing.

Unnecessary Censorship

One year of it. By Jimmy Kimmel. Enjoy.

Human teeth, it's freaky. Watch the video.

It's not the first time, but it's still weird.

Mind over matter

A quadriplegic man with a brain implant can now check email and play simple games by thinking about it. (link)

Gambling addict steals money, destroys firm

This is just sad. He stole some one million pounds just to feed his addiction, resulting in the company he stole from going into receivership and people losing their jobs through layoffs. I've never known anyone addicted to gambling, have you? What kinds of effects did it have?

Albert Einstein, stud

1400 letters have been released detailing the love life of Albert Einstein held by his daughter. It seemsa though he had several women after him over the years. I can see that. He was brilliant, rich and famous. Still, I never really pictured him as the one with al the girls.

Pantsed!

The type of thing we don't get to see enough of. (link)

9-year-old delivers baby

I would love to know the details of this one. A 9-year-okl tribal girl in Brazil has delivered a child who is thought to be the product of rape. Her mother (how old is she, 24? A grandmother at 24?) isn't talking. Apparently being married at age 11 is common there.

And maybe that's not wrong. The life expectancy probably isn't very high. There's no time to lose. Now that we have all kinds of time to waste, we consider sex at age 11 to be wrong, although we weren't always like that. Maybe we have too much time. Too much of everything, in fact. We can take years doing very little with not that much consequence. We have about 75 years to live anyway, so what's the rush?

Just thinking out loud, I guess. I am not interested in molesting 10-year-olds, for the record.

Ken Lay escapes prison sentence

If Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling weren't known as being the biggest swindlers in American history, I'd say that Lay either faked his death or killed himself to avoid jail time. I know that I am being mean right now, and I do feel sorry for those that loved him, like George Bush. But Ken Lay was SUCH a liar, that I am open to any possibility. According to the video linked in the article, Lay's life ended last year when he was found guilty anyway.

New accent syndrome

A British woman is the latest sufferer of what is known as "new accent syndrome" or "foreign accent syndrome". When she came to, she started speaking with what the people around her thought was a Jamaican accent. Imagine waking up and speaking English with an German accent! Or speaking French with an Australian accent? The neat thing is that typcially, if the people around the sufferer think that you have an X accent, X people don't hear it.

The artist emerges

Some of you may know that I have been teaching myself how to draw during the time that I have been out of work. Inspired by Jeph Jacques' Questionable Content, I have decided to try my hand at the seemingly elusive art of drawing people.

And now I have decided to start another blog, an art blog, although this isn't high art by any means. It's a place to post my drawings online, and nothing more. I have such diverse interests, don't I? Let's summarize.

The Scrawl at the End of the Hall - Personal life and goings-on. Feelings, even. Me.

A World of Cheese, For Your Pleasure - All the cheese you need. Various other topics that I find worth talking about.

Blue Nuit - Porn, pure and simple. NSFW.

Hey, I CAN draw! - At least, I like to try. It's fun.

I will have to update the main page to reflect the changes. I would actually like to put a little flash content in there, but I don't know how. If anyone would like to help me, I wouldn't turn you down. Oh, and if anyone can figure out how to get my images from my images directory to show up without throwing strange errors (such as this file), that would be great. This is the reason why there's a big blank space up top if you look at the individual archives.
