and we all know at least one ultracrepidarian dont we kids?

Confused on temple st

one balmy/barmy evening 

in a land where its always balmy

and quite often barmy

i took a stroll down temple street

as i made my way down dale

i heard some funky goings on

across the road from what i thought was the temple

on temple street

no, not the one at the bottom

i hadnt clocked that one yet

there was some musical goings on

what kind of goings on exactly 

and what kind of establishment was hosting it

werent immediately obvious

leaving me bemused on temple street

it turned out to be a traditional indigenous kinda gig

with groovy shapes being thrown

in fancy kit

and a healthy does of plinking and plonking

but was this place where it was being staged, also a

 temple

on temple street?

it certainly seemed that way

and across the road

from where i gazed

 was that temple maybe not a temple

on temple street?

it looked very temply

or

could it just have been an extreeeeeemely elaborate chinese restaurant

decked very convincingly like a temple?

just how many bloody temples are there

on temple street?

yours

confused formerly on temple street

of horses and muppets

do NOT adjust your settee

Apocalypto - o si, mel es un cabron, pero sabe hacer pelis

yo lo vi de nuevo el otro dia

porque ultimamente he tenido ganas de ver unos cuentos historicos 'americanos'

que se tratan de los pueblos indigenas

y ya vi muchos otros programas

como frontera verde, el abrazo de la serpiente, la mision, pajaros de verano etc  

y si

aun es fuerte

aun es violento

aun es espectacular

aun es creible

y aun es entretenido

(si no muy exacto historicamente)

pero no se trata del mismo asunto que apocalypso...

que es otro tema completamente! (una paleta muuuy peligrosa)

worst carpool... ever?

 Oh, the humanity, and all the bystanders screaming around here!

Vs

one pair has cause untold suffering to many millions 

and the other two are murderous dictators!

yamato - Kyōdai no bando, Nihongohan (kind of)

(but not really)

three young super best friends sign up to fight the gaijins

on the super giant fuck off warship, yamato

in the pacific 'theatre'

as nihon is losing, inevitably

and shit happens to them

it looks generally impressive

the acting isnt too shabby

theres plenty of blood spattered all over the shop/warship

but the sets/cgi arent great

and the background music is too obvious and melodramatic

its all a bit cheesy

but as its east asian

perhaps we cant talk about cheese

so its a bit tofuey?

which means it cant be rated ichi ban...

y mientras hablamos de locura y de futbol...

they shoot heroin, dont they?

A white line, a dead heat

I've got the jockey on my back

the outstandingly daft spectacle of horse diving was around for nearly a century

 Manikato, he just can't let go of his heinous addiction

Anyone tell you Phar Lap's a junkie, buddy, that ain't fiction

“It was good, but he wanted it to be better. And he came up with the idea of having a woman on the horse’s back.”

Well, what was Silver speeding on

When he was under the Lone Ranger?

when it was finally killed off in the early 21st Century

Wayne Pacelle, then president and chief executive of the Humane Society of the United States, told Reuters, “This is a merciful end to a colossally stupid idea.”

Shoot heroin, shoot heroin, don't they?

groove over from your more normal stans

to the land of the turkmen

and hold onto your telpek

because its 'politics'

mais c'est trop fucking marrant quand meme...

i might be a cunt...

but im not a t shirt thieving simian fucking cunt...

picture this if you will...

youve just deplaned in sandakan

from a rather depressing short flight over northern borneo

gazing out the window 

at the vast expanses of palm oil plantations

beautifully and terribly symmetrical

where famously epic virgin forest once stood

its punishingly hot

and obscenely humid

you are dripping with sweat

you grab a grab for the hotel in nearby sepilok

after some fun historical bantz about sulu/phillipine claims on sabah

you degrab at the hotel

which is truly at the edge of jungle

only to discover that your room

is truly at edge of the earth

a painful trudge/haul later

you fall in the door

crank up the ac

hang your disgustingly fetid t shirt

on the arm of a chair on the balcony

and fall on your bed in relief

in a pitiful state

after a brief rest and casual swearing session

you go outside to check on

said grim t shirt

only to find it gone!

a painful long trudge back to reception follows

only to be informed that you shouldnt hang things on the balcony

because macaques and occasionally jungle men

half inch them!

bagus!

following a further return trudge

and a salutary nap

your amiable companion retrudges to reception

to be told that the cleaners hadnt seen it

and it must have been the macaques!

leaving you without your fave t-shirt

but 

with the unshakeable image

of a macaque pissing about in the jungle

draped in your quality tism nonsense

ps our neighbours in the adjoining room

with whom we shared the balcony

left their swim gear out on and off for four days

without an issue!

kan ni na!

word of the weak - hemidemisemiquaver

 

(un notare bene pedantico - german should NOT be a part of the body, old western germanic/north sea germanic, is the basis of english, so it should be the whole torso, not latin!)

hemidemisemiquaver — a 64th note, in other words, a half of a half of a half of an eighth note,

deriving from 'half' from 3 different languages, hemi-greek, semi-latin, demi-french

if ever there were a mongrel language it is this one RIGHT HERE

too many sato sans

Study: Japan could become ‘Sato nation’ in 500 years

 (asahi shimbun)

A study has found that unless Japan starts allowing married couples to have separate surnames, all Japanese people will share the same family name of Sato in about 500 years.

The number of surnames in Japan is decreasing every year due to the country’s unique law that requires married couples to share the same surname.

Everyone having the same surname “will not only be inconvenient but also undermine individual dignity,” said Yoshida. “This would also lead to the loss of family and regional heritage associated with surnames.”

About 500,000 couples wed annually in Japan, with nearly 95 percent of all brides taking their husbands’ surnames.

According to the study, the most common surname in Japan currently is Sato, which accounts for 1.5 percent of the population.

The study, conducted as part of a campaign to raise awareness about the issue of married names, found that the proportion of people with the surname Sato increased by 0.83 percent between 2022 and 2023.

If the current rule of married couples sharing the same surname persists, and the number of people named Sato continues to grow at this rate, then half of the Japanese population will be Sato in 2446, and eventually, 100 percent of the population will have the surname in 2531.

thats more satos than you shake a sutikku at!

ハハハ！

goddamn mongorians!

ever wondered just how bad arse the mongols (and genghis khan in particular) really were?

wonder no more, with LBGTBAM!

(limebeavers guide to bad arse mongolians)

ghengis was the ultimate shag (i.e. rape) monster-

the genetic line showed that about 8 percent of men in the region of the former Mongol empire, and therefore about one in 200 worldwide, share one single male ancestor – and based on a combination of logic, statistics, and common sense, that ancestor was almost certainly Genghis Khan.

the mongols were the stabby champions of the planet-

The Mongol army conquered hundreds of cities and villages and killed millions of people. One estimate is that about 10 percent of the world's population was killed either during or immediately after the Mongol invasions, around 37.75–60 million people in Eurasia.

On 25 October 1997, a mass tug-of-war contest was held at a park along the Keelung River in Taipei in celebration of Retrocession Day (the 52nd anniversary of the end of the Japanese colonial rule in Taiwan). Over 1,600 participants joined in the contest, exerting an estimated 80,000 kg or more of force on a 5-cm nylon rope that could bear a force of about 26,000 kg at most.

Within seconds the rope snapped, severing the left arms of two men, Yang Chiung-ming and Chen Ming-kuo, below the shoulder. (The severing of their limbs was believed to have been caused by sheer rebounding force of the broken rope rather than the men's having wrapped the rope around their arms, as was sometimes reported.) The victims were taken to Mackay Memorial Hospital and underwent seven hours of microsurgery to reattach their arms.
