Pope Condom



Is it not absolutely sad and moving that we get to hear the most vehement protest against condoms and other contraceptive devices from the very man who daily wears one to work on his head?

However it is hard to take into account only the amusing aspect of this doubtlessly ridiculous and appalling attitude. It is thus recommended to sign the relevant partition in an attempt to save the lives that this man deliberately chooses to put at risk in the name of a god:

Save Chaplin

Hello folks.

I am a member of a mailinglist which is run by Indians and has mostly Indian people as its members. From this mailinglist you will mostly get news from and about India, programs in Indian cities, demonstrations in certain cities etc.
Everyday I get about 10 new mails.

Today I got one mail which said in its subject: "Save chaplin". I became interested and gave it a closer look. I will now send you the whole text of it. The mail is NOT a fake or a joke. It came over this existing mailinglist and its content should also be true.

"let's save chaplin

Today we have a shocking news in Times of India and Kannada prabha (of Indian express group). both the papers has reported that the fundamental organization activists has stopped film crew and artists who were working on 67 foot statue of charlie chaplin in Udupi, Karnataka (Info: Karnataka, is one state of India, the one where I did my longterm practical placement two years ago). reason: chaplin is a christian.

why we should succumb to these 'great dictators'?. lets save chaplin. lets sign a petition. lets voice our concern.

Hi,

I wanted to draw your attention to this important petition that I recently
signed:

"Save chaplin"
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/chaplin?e
i
I really think this is an important cause, and I'd like to encourage you to
add your signature, too. It's free and takes less than a minute of your
time.

Thanks!

Here is the link to the article in the "Times of India": http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Cities/Chaplin-statue-incur-activists-wrath/articleshow/4262283.cms

Hi Steve.

Did you get the e-mail I sent you about my travel to London and than Dublin?
If not than I write you here because time is running and I want to book my flight soon.

I am in London on the 17th March. There I will stay one week. At the end of this week, if you like you could also come to London. You could stay in the place of my friend, either very cheap or for free, dont know yet (cheap means 5 Euros or something). After this week I would like to visit Dublin, maybe my friend will also join me for two days. It would be great if we could stay in your place (sleeping on the floor as an example is absolutly no problem for both of us, so no preparations are necessary).

Please respond quickly.

Thx

All the best

Bernhard

P.s.: I saw some of the pictures you made from the Dublin Harbour. Great pictures, I am looking forward spending some time at the harbour...

Famous conductor talks about jazz

Hi!

Well first the interview starts normal, nothing special. Just a conductor for classical music (Name is Bruno Walter). And than he is asked what music he does not like and in the end the interviewer asks him what he thinks about jazz.

Highlight sentence is:"Jazz is a danger because it appeals to the lower instincts of the listener and this is charakteristic for some tendency in our time."

Whach the video of this "expert" in music.

I had a good laughter I must say.

Ahm well, I think everbody here knows Roger Witthaker - well probably only to some extent. Till yesterday I always thought he is some kind of non artist folk singer. A guy who makes money by stating: "This is my very last tour" and than the next year coming again. Well, look what I found on youtube. Some videos when he was still much younger and much more agile. And man, this guy can wistle. (I know what I am talking about, since, those who know me better, have probably noticed that I like to wistle all day long...) Especially the "mexican wistle"...wow. I would like to be able to wistle like that. The first link shows the african wistle on a live apperance, the second link shows two songs from him where he is wistling. Have Phun!

Hi!

I just found this picture on the Magic the Gathering homepage - it features a hat. And it seems the creature is afraid of flying hats.... (You can just see the first hat, but it looks like more hats are coming from above)

Irish goods

Hello Stefan.

You said you could bring something from Ireland if some body requests something on your next journey to austria.

Well, I would be most happy about an 14.5 kg heavy original irish stone. Its weight is just inside your limit of what you can bring to austria. I thought THIS is my opportunity to get such a stone.
But please don`t bring a, lets say 5 kg stone, which I already posses so it would be useless for me. I need a 15 kg Stone to be honest, to complete my collection of stones from ireland from 1 kg to 15kg, but I didn`t want to put any pressure on you to bring me a 15kg stone, so I kindly said 14.5 kg - and once again no pressure.

This would be too kind.

Thanks

Greetings Bernhard

P.s.: You get 1 bear for the effort.

By the way:
So apparently (or obviously) daft are recent contributions that Tarzan is not particularly happy about her any more.

i have to apologize, i didn't recognize the Acrostic, and when i requested a "major contribution" (*saluting* Mjr. Contribution) i didn't expect it to be THAT big, but that's exactly how i want it!

i repeat:as long as you refuse to say the next word i won't be able to do anything…

Steve's Diarrhoea

So, there's too little crap in here?
Take care! You now will be bombared
And pay a price for it quite dear
To ask for stuff that is retarded.
I warn against forgetting our chain!
Our duty is too much ungarded -
Now, this acrostic is reviving it again.

Bullshit Shrinkage Alert


Ladies and Gentlemen,

Having been unable to acquiesce the at this stage considerably remarkable decline in bullshit, which indeed used to make a contribution to this blog on hand with regard to its overall daftness, the latter in all probability representing its most distinguishing feature.

In other words, folks, I think we're in danger of running out of silly posts and remarks in here. And I'm definitely setting an example here.

No, this is not the bullshit graph, believe it or not, it's the number of Fursen people immigrating to the US. Cheers.
