Report of the Week Taco Bell Review

Taco Bell did it again...

Talk smack all you want about fast food, but I still enjoy when these places bring back rare items or try to fool us with supposed new items (for example Taco Bell or Mexican food in general is pretty basic).

Abolition of Work by Bob Black

Much like the last post, this is from the Mykel Board reading list.

I have not actually read this all the way through, but thought it was something worth considering.

The Burden of Communication by James Sass

http://www.satannet.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=58222#Post58222

THE BURDEN OF COMMUNICATION

If you post or respond to posts here, you are obliged to write in a manner that can be understood and responded to.

This involves form and content.

Form is spelling, grammar, and punctuation. There is no excuse for lacking these basic skills. If you have a hard time with this, try writing your post in Word or whatever word-processing program that came loaded in your computer. Most of these programs are designed to correct basic errors of spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Content is the substance of your post. Just about any comment you can make is either a judgment or a call to action.

In the case of judgment, you are stating that you agree or disagree with a statement and your reasons for agreement or disagreement.

If you disagree with someone, it is because they are uninformed (lacking information), misinformed (based on wrong information), or their reasoning is flawed (they draw wrong or erroneous conclusions from the basic information), or they are incomplete in their analysis. If you disagree with someone the burden is on you to clearly state why. There is no point in just stating “I disagree” – that is just being mindlessly contentious. If you agree with someone and find it worth saying so, it also does not hurt to state why.

In the case of a call to action, you are stating what should be done or not be done and your reasons why.

If you can’t make the effort to be understood in the first place, Don’t be surprised when you get banned.

If you just “don’t care” if your post is understood, or if you are legible or coherent to anyone reading it, then why post here in the first place? Go do something more productive with yourself, like stick a butter knife into an electric socket.

The same goes to all the lot lice that immediately jump on every lame newcomer with petty nit-picking criticism. From what I’ve observed here, 99 times out of 100 you have nothing better to offer yourself.

Kindergarten dismissed!

Chik Fil-A

Chic Fil A serves mediocre food, but fast and friendly service.

It makes me laugh that PC morons want to boycott this place and force them out of business (?).

Why because their CEO board donated to a non-profit whom are against gay marriage.

Ha ha and guess what their stock prices have gone through the roof and they now are spread out with franchises to areas such as the rural uppermidwest U.S.

Also recently some nasty chick was trying to breast feed at this "soft opening" for a location. In my opinion seeing any female breastfeed in public would be uncomfortable but tolerated. However looking at this chick she was gross looking and dressed like the typical johnny come lately social justice warrior type. A big gross joke! 

I got their chicken deluxe sandwich with waffle fries. Not bad, but next time I am skipping the bun and going for chicken strips.

Misanthropology Label

As I go back through my posts on this blog, I will add label links with each posting so you can read all of each in topic lists.

Misanthropology will be one, for economic, social and political  topics.

Latest Online Projects of Interest

I am torn about starting a Media Hits/Blitz Facebook group. On the one hand I will be posting items such as this in the group, encouraging members to announce their projects and network with others in the group, etc.

On the other hand I am considering a break from Facebook.

I think what would be best is to try the group and if all fails after a few months then I can call it quits.

The Pogues (from my perspective)

I became aware of the Pogues probably in the 80s, almost positive of this. They were listed in the Columbia House Compact Disc Club and the albums available were I think Mahone and probably Should I Fall from the Grace of God. At this point they were mainstream light popular in Europe and especially in Britain. In the United States they may have had a video or two played on MTV. American punks may have liked them and they may have even toured the states, they probably did at least once. I know at some point I’ve read that they have in the nineties, whether in a zine or online blog posting.

They are known for vehemently opposing any bootleg recordings of their live performances, neither audio or video they permitted. However, if you look online you can find some good audio bootlegs. I recommend downloading these. Honestly who whom would not want to hear an audio bootleg with the drunk crowd singing along and bantering with each other between each track? Or the band drunk and fighting each other? Perhaps that is why they do not like these bootlegs, because of embarassing moments and that they are popular legends across Europe so bootleggers could make a living off the band.

Shane McGowan has some fucked up teeth, that needs to be brought forth. It is probably due to not brushing his teeth and genetics. I have not heard if he consumed lots of meth, but no I think if that were the case he would probably have also some really mangled gums, shape and bloody wise. Could you imagine running in to him in a dark alley outside of a gig? What if you went to see the Pogues at a night club, picture this. You went into the alley to either take a leak or drink some alcohol (some activity involving liquids) and Shane McGowan came outside the alleyway. It is like your first initial reaction would be to be like “what the fuck” but after a few seconds you would be like “holy shit it is Shane McGowan!”. I think running into any of the band members in an alley way would be scary but especially Shane McGowan as it would be an emotional roller coaster. At first you would be scared but then you would feel like holy shit is Shane McGowan. You would feel excitement and then would laugh at it. You probably would want to have a drink afterwards.

From the album If I Should Fall from the Grace of God there is this track called Fairytale of New York. I love this song and it is great that a group of people whom put on Christmas show/parties every year at a particular night club in my town always play this track. It has been a staple of my late night summer porch drinking sessions with Jimmy Jazz. I also get a kick out of the use of the word faggot because most normies would quiver at the hint of anything offensive. I sometimes wonder if my anarcho gay friends would not want to hear this. I should play it sometime for them and then determine once and for all if these people are nothing but stupid posers. Well just even talking about it would be enough to send anyones sensibilites like this into a tizzy. This all would prove again the running corealation between these people’s progressive politics and mental illness.

Their album; Rum, Sodomy and Lash I found in the skuf used section of Everyday Music, the Burnside Avenue location in Downtown Portland, Oregon. I remember listening to it a lot at this house I was living at with some crusty people. They all too loved Pogues already and so it made for a great soundtrack for our drinking large amounts of wine, beer and booze everyday.

Some other activities great for listening to the Pogues: fire juggling, psyching yourself up for petty shoplifting, sitting in a bar and having a sing along with your aging friends, etc. Well you can find other things like drinking on a porch or under a bridge and you have speakers for your mp3 player. Perhaps before you go on a bicycle ride, but make sure you have some really good people and/or a cute girl whom can at least tolerater your pathetic tastes in music/movies/visual art/etc.

Good fucking god I am so glad I did that all in my early twenties but the catch 22 is that your brain is not fully developed until 25 or so the pop psychologists tell you this. My point being is being a drunk punk that early in life can stunt your growth mentally but hey waiting until your later years could also attack you physically and lead to your death. Shane McGowan from the Pogues probably has been a drunk since he was 10 years old so he was fucked from the beginning.

What else can I say? I have yet to listen to anything by them and disliking it. Well when in the late 90s I found some used copies of various albums, including the above mentioned album Mahone. I did not like some of this stuff at first.! I also did not like some of the other stuff. Perhaps I held this standard that the music was going to sound irish folk fused with punk, but had a jazz/swing/big band feel to it. It all sounds good to me now, so what does that say about me? I discovered this stuff and then found Rum, Sodomy and Lash and that filled the void of what I thought this group sounded like. It fucked and warped me for life.

How about just going on Youtube and listening to everything and there should be some live video footage that has made it over the years. Most likely you will only find audio as I am sure McGowan or some other the other band members would have lashed out at someone with a video camera.
