Back

2012-01-15T13:59:00.001+04:00

I'm back, my dears. The hiatus has given me new ideas to blog about. Now apart from posts about severed body parts, stupidity of life and its futility, I will be writing about the beauty of human nature, love, friendship, about how these live on well after people actually die and are buried/cremated. A load of tosh!

Blogs will be about everything evil, eerie and sinister as they used to be.
Habits die hard.

My first post this year is about Creepy English , an "ambitious" project designed to bring out the worst in my linguistic capabilities. Basically, it's a collection of sporadic doodles illustrating the usage of random words and idioms the English language has in such a gigantic abundance.

This pretty much wraps it all up. Brevity, as one of the greatest Russian writers remarked, is the sister of talent.

I really missed you, Cybermorgue.

Trainspotting

I really liked this explanation of this crazy hobby. (Baffling)
How can a person in his right mind do something like this? How is it different from fishing for instance?

"What *is* trainspotting?

Spotting trains. Taking a great delight in chronicling all the various permutations of rolling stock, design changes, engines, that sort of thing. Could be mainly a British pursuit. Normally done whilst wearing an anorak, with some kind of note book to list all the trains seen. I did know a genuine trainspotter in the mid-80s, and he had this book that was obviously professionally published listing all the then-current BR rolling stock types, with a little box to tick. Hence, in wider usage, a "trainspotter" or "anorak" is someone who has an unusually anally retentive interest in trivia relating to anything that interests them."

TEACHER'S LOT IS CERTAINLY A DIFFERENT ONE
Say "teacher" and a clear image forms in people's minds, which is not surprising in view of the years we all spent contemplating the reality. More surprising is the variety of bizarre forms this image takes. People used to think that teacher, if female, were intensely ..…(1) creatures, and if male, were a little strange. They would ..…(2) teachers they knew and ..…(3) generalizations, most frequently concerning their quarrelsome, emotional way of discussing things, their dictatorial or pedantic tendencies and, above all, their boring inability to talk about anything other than their jobs.

HERMAN HESSE:
“There is no escape. You can't be a vagabond and an artist and still be a solid citizen, a wholesome, upstanding man. You want to get drunk, so you have to accept the hangover. You say yes to the sunlight and pure fantasies, so you have to say yes to the filth and the nausea. Everything is within you, gold and mud, happiness and pain, the laughter of childhood and the apprehension of death. Say yes to everything, shirk nothing. Don't try to lie to yourself. You are not a solid citizen. ... You are not harmonious, or the master of yourself. You are a bird in the storm. Let it storm! Let it drive you! ..."
Powerful stuff, isn't it?

Have a nice day!

One Russian song goes somewhat like this:

" There are no atheists among those sitting in a trench, under fire. "

For most people, these days, God is simply someone to talk to when it gets unbearably difficult. Are you not one of those? Perhaps Christopher Hitchens is the same type of guy. He might have talked to God when he was dying from cancer. Does he believe in God? No.

WTO ? WTF?

2011-11-05T00:37:00.001+04:00

On the grapewine:

   Russia's accession to the WTO is the beginning of the downfall. The agricultural sector, which has been on the decline for more than 2 decades, will be irretrievably lost and forgotten. Who needs natural products when you have GMs which are, according to calculations, significantly cheaper and easier to produce? In other words genuine commodities will become a rarity.
   I wouldn't like to rant about other sectors of economy here, but simply confine myself to saying that minuses of the accession substantially outweigh the pluses at this Very stage of Russia's economic development. ( as if we had any!) " Or better still, tandemic decisions can lead to pandemic outcomes"
   Yet, it remains to be seen what the implications of this may be.

Давал же себе зарок не писать об экономике и политике. Не смог удержаться. Скоро то уже все изменится. For more details, read some of the Russian papers like the Moscow News.

Linguistic Dicovery of the Day: Affect

2011-10-31T17:16:00.001+04:00

2011-10-25T23:31:00.003+04:00

An airline pilot was scheduled to take a flight from New York to Los Angeles. The weather was too bad in New York to allow his usual on time departure. The weather in New York finally cleared and the pilot asked for his departure clearance. He was very dismayed to hear that he had another delay due to the increased traffic now leaving New York. Sometime later he finally received his clearance and decided he would try to make up the time lost by asking for a direct route to Los Angeles. Halfway across the country he was told to turn due South. Knowing that this turn would now throw him further behind schedule he inquired, quite agitated, to the controller for the reason of the turn off course. The controller replied that the turn was for noise abatement. The pilot was infuriated and said to the controller, "Look buddy, I am already way behind schedule with all the delays you guys have given me today. I really don't see how I could be causing a noise problem for pedestrians when I am over 6 miles above the earth!" The controller answered in a calm voice, "Apparently, Captain, you have never heard two 747's collide!"

Prostitution: comparing options

2011-10-25T18:39:00.002+04:00

This post is not meant to offend anyone but me. Women would be well-advised not to read it because it might be a bit sexist, which I am not! !! In all honesty, I just wanted to memorize the words in bold.
В порядке бреда:

Comparison - especially with regard to price of a prostitute - is at the heart of any careless man's desire. At least in theory. The problem of such a comparison is that, in order to be valid, potential clients need to be able to compare like with like. In practice, like-for-like assessments can be difficult to make. Frequently, a myriad of different variables, such as price, quality and the size of breasts blur the distinction between competing offers. What's more, such variables can be difficult to quantify. Comparing prices is black and white. Distinguishing between the sizes of breasts is far less clear-cut ).
As a result, typical purchase decisions are, at best, much more involved than a mere no-brainer choices. At worst, such decision can be mind-bending, and at the very worst can result in catching an STD.
Arguably, the above observations apply, not just to clients, but to prostitutes and their pimps. Give it a try. Being objective and unbiased, how accurately can you compare the prostitutes you offer with those of your main competitors in the neighbourhood. How well does your "team" stack up against its rivals?

5 corollaries of the past weekend

2011-10-24T17:15:00.001+04:00

1. When you surround yourself with enthusiastic, radiant and cheerful individuals full of relentless drive, you become better notwithstanding the fact that you remain intrinsically cynical and suicidal.
2. The best part of living in terms of work is the realization that you are wanted by your employer no matter how cunning the bastard is. However, you should make sure you don't overdo it - consistency in making yourself indispensable is key to job satisfaction and success.
3. Eating a lot on Sunday will invariably result in spending a lot of time on the sh...er. (and, yes, if there's one thing I miss most of all about my ex-dwellings it is the bidet)
4. Even if a thing is broken beyond repair, you can still use your hands ... to throw it away.
5. A friend in need is a friend indeed, even when he asks you to shoot him in the mouth because he is suffering from a very severe case of vaginal cancer, and he is a 'he'.

Bonus: I absolutely adore blue pillows! I want one in my coffin in case they decide to bury me (instead of cremating)

I have moved flats. This time I have got closer to the center of Moscow. The place is old, but has a charm and magnetism of its own. The downside is I have no desk to work at. The positive side is there's a Vagankovskoe cemetery in the walking distance from the Stalin-era house I will reside in.
Now I love cemeteries. But the cemetery where there are so many decent folks are buried is more than just A cemetery where millions of mediocrities like me are buried. With this in mind, I'm planning to visit the place (probably throw a picnic for my friends) on a sunny Saturday.

Word of the Day: facetious

2011-09-20T22:50:00.000+04:00

A special thanks for this word goes to Laoch of Chicago whose recent blogs give me so much needed food for reflection while dramatically enlarging my vocabulary.
According to En-Ru dictionary, the word 'facetious' means 'funny and humorous' which is at best inaccurate and in reality incorrect. An English learner should know that : --------->

Examples:

1. 'She was never hot' he said facetiously looking at Joan's mutilated body. 'So apart from the bruises and missing head nothing much has changed.'
Everyone felt they needed to slap him ... hard.

2. The speech saying drug users should be shot was clearly facetious, but it contained a serious point.

Sperm Donor Has Fathered 150 Children

2011-09-20T15:15:00.000+04:00

Sperm Donor Has Fathered 150 Children:

Being a sperm donor might seem like a great way to make some extra cash. You get to watch some porno and “do your buissness” into a cup. However, what if you ended up knowing that you fathered 150 children? For one sperm donor out there this is a reality. With online tracking allowing donor children to find thier half siblings, more and more cases of 50 to 150 groups of half siblings are emerging.

What would you do if you found out you had 150 siblings?

The New York Times recently reported that a single sperm donor has fathered 150 children, and his fertile seeds of life are still being used to impregnate more women still.
Cynthia Daily, who’s child is among the group of 150 siblings, told the New York Times, “It’s wild when we see them all together – they all look alike.”

On a side note, what if this guys turned out a pschypathic murderer? I mean what are the odds?

2 Best Poems of Sunday

Today I am posting 2 very natural and very different rhymes that show that life is all about living and dying. May you live in interesting times, dear readers!

A nymphomaniacal nurse
With a curse that was worse than perverse
Stuck a rotary drill
Up her twat, for a thrill---
And they carted her off in a hearse.
________________________________________________________

It's only human nature after all
If a fellow puts a girl against the wall
And puts his inclination
Into her accomodation
To increase the population
Of the rising generation---
Why, it's only human natrue after all.

Money matters

2011-09-17T14:23:00.001+04:00

Do you use these speaking about money?
Beat one down to 650 roubles per ah
Knock a sum/a per cent off the price
Pick something up for a sum
Club together and get something for someone Chip in for a present
Rip smb off - a rip-off
Snap it up - quickly while the price is good.
Fork out for - ESP. When you don't want it Splash out on - we didn't really need it
Shop around
Price-conscious
Stock up on staples
We shouldn't skimp on healthy food.
We scrimp on something because we want to save up for something.
Sell off at half price. And we need to hurry before they sell out.
Run up a huge cable debt
Cough up - раскошеливаться
You may buy something on the cheap
First you pay in your salary and then you withdraw the money to pay for something. Something inexpensive suggests good quality.

Fashion Time Lapse

Fashion Time Lapse:

Here’s something sort of awesome: London fashions over the course of 100 years jammed into 100 seconds. The dancing is pretty adorable and it’s an interesting look at how much clothing has changed over time. English chicks always have the best clothes and apparently that’s ALWAYS been the case. Neat project, right?

My Galaxy Tab

2011-09-02T20:30:00.000+04:00

It's just occurred to me what an immensely powerful gadget I have in my own ugly possession. It never fails to educate and entertain me in the day and wake me up in the morning.
Vocabulary learning, RSS readers, notifications, videos and pdf viewers, you name it.
Yesterday one of my biz English students said that this device has a "soul" in it. In the sense that it's not merely a piece of plastic and metal, but a thing that pleases the eye and mind. Never thought of that, really.
He also said my nettop sucked because it was a 'utility' thing. He had a point, though.
Can consumer electronics have a soul in it?
If yes, do you talk to your gadgets? What do you normally talk about?

New REC 3: Genesis

New REC 3: Genesis Photo:

Something I'm really really looking forward to!

I am super hyped for Paco Plaza’s [REC] 3: Genesis, I was one of the people who liked the angle they took in the second one, so it will be interesting to see what happens this time around. So, while we wait for a trailer to appear, the guys over at Bloody-Disgusting have scored a new image. You can view that one below, sadly, no zombies in this image.

Synopsis “The original REC crew are back, ready to submit their ensemble cast to another fight for survival against the zombie infection. This time to the backdrop of an original soundtrack. The new chapter will see the film “open up” by using a more traditional cinematographic style. However, the film’s roots have not been forgotten, and viewers will still be immersed in the action watching certain events unfold through the eye of the video camera. The action in REC 3 GENESIS encompasses the events of the first two films and after the sense of claustrophobia previously experienced.

The action now takes place miles away from the original location and partly in broad daylight, giving the film an entirely fresh yet disturbing new reality. The infection has left the building. In a clever twist that draws together the plots of the first two movies, this third part of the saga also works as a decoder to uncover information hidden in the first two films and leaves the door open for the final installment the future, REC 4 Apocalypse.“

Forget about the future, you can't predict it.
Forget about the present, I didn't get you one.

What do you think of yourself as a man?Does the fact that you are a man (meaning having a penis and all) make adifference to the way you interact/socialize with people? Will you accept thechallenge of saying the truth about your own ugly self?

Challenge accepted

He’s got bad breath

He drinks a lot

His ex-gfs think he is a clot.

He rarely shaves

He’s overweight

With bits of fat around his waist

He picks his nose and blows it hard

In front of people he can fart.

Contagion:

“Contagion” follows the rapid progress of a lethal airborne virus that kills within days. As the fast-moving epidemic grows, the worldwide medical community races to find a cure and control the panic that spreads faster than the virus itself. At the same time, ordinary people struggle to survive in a society coming apart.

ChiChi says: His lousy rhymes again!

2011-08-22T16:47:00.001+04:00

Crying in the morning,

Coffee in the day,

Empty to the evening

Let’s call it a day.

ChiChi here:

This morning he woke up completely shattered. We noticed how upset he was because he started crying. Wept like a baby for 10 – 11 minutes. Then took a cigarette and went to the balcony with a jotter in his left hand. Some really serious shit was going through his head at this moment I can imagine. It was back in 2006 that he cried in the morning last time. I remember this clearly because I was still a virgin back then. Anyway, we (I mean Mr. D Bill, Handsom E and myself) watched him jot something down in a hurry. A few minutes later he left for work. But he left his jotter on the table opened (first we had a sneak peek and then I decided to post it on the Cybermorgue). Having read these lines I realized that Alex Pup will never be happy. Ladies, in their majority, look down on such men. One more obvious realization dawned upon me – this man WILL NEVER EVER GROW UP!

The problem with me is I’m very self-conscious
To this very thing two main factors contribute:
First, fear of failing, blown out of proportion
And this one I know to what I can attribute.

The second one’s kindness that borders on meekness
Especially when I’m surrounded by people
Who I inadvertently hurt and discomfort
By mentioning words like ‘vagina’ and ‘fetal’.

The third and the last one’s the lack of composure,
The feeling of confidence by definition,
Which stems from the fact that I'm simply a teacher
Who’s chasing his luck striving for recognition.

The best part of

2011-08-20T08:10:00.001+04:00

I think you all remember this old proverb:
The best part of living is loving an giving, which, on a super large scale is blatantly and sweepingly true. However, it's obvious that most of our "best parts" ( those that make us tick) are very different. My alcoholic friends and me own oogly salf proudly present the list of things of the best parts in various capacities!
Feel free to give your ideas in the comments to this verbally abusive post.
1. A dentist - the best part of living is drilling and filling then billing,
2. An American police officer - the best part of living is deal with drug dealing.
3. An EFL teacher - the best part of living is earning your living.
4. A one-eyed Vietnamese prostitute - the best part of living is better than nothing.
5. Your neighbour - the best part of leaving is the whole day wall drilling
6. Your bastard of a colleague - the best part of living is constant beans spilling.

Update! Irene Koretskaya has submitted three hilarious suggestions to this post. I'm putting them here with her permission. Enjoy, ChiChi!

1. An average passenger of “elekrichka” – the best part of living is a ticket collector’s neck down-breathing and grinning.

2. An Uzbek illegal worker in Russia – the best part of living is all day long feet dragging and obscure songs humming.

3. A security guard (a ЧОП’s subordinate) – the best part of living is the bottom of his trousers out-wearing and nutty eyes rolling.

Personality questions

2011-08-14T20:16:00.005+04:00

Good questions from Guy Wellman to ponder on a hot Sunday afternoon:

1. How would you say your national character is different from that of people in the immediately neighbouring countries?

2. How do you think your character has changed or developed over the years? Are there any aspects of your personality that you still don't like?

3. How would you characterize the person sitting, lying next to you?

P.S. The following questions come from ChiChi

If you are a woman, would you rather have a doormat husband who satisfies your whims or a headstrong stud who commands you right and left but gives you everything you can possibly wish for?

If you are a man, would you rather marry an average-looking girl who loves you like you were the center of the universe or marry a fabulously beautiful barbie-doll who is interested in anything but you?

Presentation Tips

2011-08-11T12:34:00.001+04:00

Taken from Denis' School blog, and just because it really makes sense

PREPARE. Подготовку к презентации не заменят ни экспертные знания, ни опыт публичных выступлений. Никакой игры «из-под волос», как говорят музыканты быть не должно, так как вашу импровизацию может разрушить специфика аудитории, её поведение и background, недостаточное владение лектора языком, и как следствие, утрата интереса и несостоявшийся диалог. Заранее продумайте, о чем, как, как долго и для кого вы будете говорить. Проанализируйте заинтересованность, цели и мотивацию аудитории, продумайте вашу реакцию на возможные нештатные ситуации. Напомню, что к нештатным относятся технические неполадки оборудования, отключение электроэнергии, комментарии не по теме и т.п.

Если по разным причинам на вопрос вы ответить не можете, тогда скажите:

I'd like to deal with this question later, if I may...
Perhaps you'd like to raise this point at the end...
I won't comment on this now...

REPEAT. Повторения важны для лучшего усвоения материала. Вы об этом знаете, поэтому просто tell what you are going to tell, then tell, finally tell what you have told. Повторения можно делать даже на уровне соседних предложений, чтобы ваше сообщение было более эмоциональным. Например,What is the answer? The answer is…

EXPRESS CONFIDENCE. Ваши жесты, голос, интонации, положение тела и другие вербальные и невербальные сигналы выражают вашу (не)уверенность. Об этом вы, наверняка, слышали, поэтому, в комментариях к этому посту share your knowledge as it's a way to achieve immortality!

Запомните — жесты не должны противоречить словам. Например, вы говорите:
- Our Logistic Team had an insignificant loss… при этом вы руками показываете, что убыток былsignificant. Наблюдайте и тренируйтесь перед зеркалом, записывайте себя на камеру или диктофон.

SIGNPOST LANGUAGE. Signpost language — это такие слова и выражения, которые помогают слушателю ориентироваться в структуре презентации. Используя их с самого начала, вы покажете, что ваше выступление логически выстроено, а у слушателей с первых минут сформируются определенные ожидания от вашего выступления. Таких слов и выражений можно привести сотни, а овладение ими не составит труда. Начните так:

My talk is concerned with ...
Basically/ Briefly, I have three things to say So much for...
The next issue/topic/area I’d like to focus on …

Подробнее можно почитать здесь или здесь.

ENCOURAGE questions, answers, motivation, actions… Вы по себе знаете, какова сила слова, поэтому ваши слушатели не могут уйти огорченные собственной ошибкой в работе или с мыслями о том, что «we’ve had fun, но как это применить?» Скажите: «I'm proud of you for trying» или «I know you are disappointed that you didn’t win, but you’ll do better next time» или «It is okay to make a mistake, we all do. What do you think you learned from it?» Перейдите по ссылке и запомните ещё пять-десять поощряющих, мотивирующих или побуждающих к действию фраз.

N - use your brain to formulate the tip starting with N

TIME KEEPING. Старайтесь не только уложиться в отведенное время, но и иметь запас на случай внештатных ситуаций.

ANALYZE successful presentations (made at leading companies, by famous people or scandalous politicians, etc). Заимствуйте у них жесты, интонации, удачные сравнения или фразы, общий настрой и воодушевление. Лучшим примером будет упомянутое уже выступление Стива Баллмера.

TELL what you share or have in common (background, education, common scientific problem, hobby, etc). Так вы привлечёте внимание и расположите слушателей к себе, спуститесь на их уровень. Например, I started at you company/area/field/position…

INTEREST-CATCHING. Помните о том, что во вступлении и заключении привлечь внимание и стимулировать интерес можно с помощью цитат знаменитых людей, вопросов, перефразировать песню, рассказать анекдот, показать фото- и видеоматериалы, связанные с презентацией или имеющие отношение к аудитории.

OPEN your heart to new people, ideas and personalities and learn from them. Помните, что вы равны и учитесь друг у друга.
and NO LIMIT TO PERFECTION.

P.S. and if you are still here, formulate the mentioned N-tip below

Singing Penis Sets Noise Record

2011-08-08T23:49:00.001+04:00

Singing Penis Sets Noise Record: " Taken from RayWilliamJohnson's blog purely for educational purposes.

Scientists have discovered that the loudest animal, relative to its size, is the male micronecta, a tiny water boatmen. The micronecta has achieved this record by rubbing its penis on its belly so vigorously that it creates a sound as loud as a hair dryer (about 90 decibels).

The act of rubbing body parts together to make noise (stridulation) is common in insects, but we all know what this little perv is really up to. “MOM! Get outta here I’m stridulating!”
If you haven’t already heard enough of your roommate or little brother doing this, you can listen to the micronecta here.

What is interesting is the criteria for the results are based on something that reeks of digested high-caloried food. How would you then account for the fact that a week ago, around 9:00 p.m. my vocabulary was slightly over 17000 (according to this super site http://testyourvocab.com/ )

My Lousy Rhymes = Alex's Lymes

2011-07-31T20:50:00.000+04:00

Welcome to my dismal world of nonchalant abandon.

Where the rhymes are loosely rhymed using words at random.

I take full responsibility for what I'm going to post here. Below are a number of my twitter lymes (lousy+rhymes ... I coined this word and then learnt that this is a town in southeastern Connecticut, on the Connecticut River, that gave its name to Lyme disease ... so I didn't coin it.)
One remarkable thing about them is that they have all been written under influence of some spirit or other. Another is most of them were replies and in contrast to everything that I write, which is diffused and unsavoury, were intended to have a meaning.
And in this picture you can see the inanimate object behind the inspiration ( = and yes it's a play on words):

Lonely and angry, unwelcomed guest
I’m having a Koloss at the podezd.

The thing is you don’t have to have a long penis as long as you buy her more shots of Martinis.

I paid for the sex the price of my life. If you don’t believe me just ask my ex-wife.

If you are not a man of means, just put the blame for this on genes.

Typos are good, typos re fine. That’s what u are left with using T9.

Why do you care when you’re not there.

I might be a really stoned teen. But man, I don’t get what you mean.

I no longer have this miraculuous drink. It’s harmful and colors my teeth very pink.

Procrastination is a bitch preventing you from getting rich.

I’m not a fan of numbers. I like lexemes instead. Perhaps it’ll be my interest until the day I’m dead.

Til, untill misspell I still.
Snowing is certainly better than rain. Rain makes it hard from the booze to abstain.

Sweets and some cookies are all I need before my gums begin to bleed.

From now on turning on my computer makes me neuter.

Smoking and looking at the lights ahead. It is at moments like this that I feel dead.

I know of only one excellent problem solver I haven’t used so far. And it’s a revolver.

What I don’t like about our Russian culture is how the need may turn one into a vulture.

Another filling is about to fall out. Ageing sux. No doubt.

In other words it’s obvious and you can’t but admit you can’t accomplish anything without dipping your thumb in shit.

Very well-put. And u know what? In German it also sounds gut.

To err is human and it can be mended if you don’t give it up.
Remember it takes the internet to totally fuck things up.

Rumors are wile and deceptive, entirely, to you. But wait! It’s what people are led to believe about you that you wish were true.

Am I a Jew? OK,yes, if you insist. But mind you, you won’t find my name on Shindler’s list.

To put it simpler, all you need to know is you should be happy to be able to go on.

To be content with your life and live longer, remember Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

What is the best way your time to waste? Copy and paste. Copy and paste.

I shouldn’t have drunk so much beer last night. My stomach feels like it’s been fed dynamite.

In other words you hafta know before you take the cutter, on which side of the sandwich you’re gonna put the butter?

I can’t believe it! Really? Wow. That you have banged somewhere, somehow!

I’m utterly sure it’s a pointless debate. Why arguing when you can sit and masterb8.

To create something beautiful was the ultimate goal of my life. And for this very reason I had sex with my wife.

I have never been so drunk before
I cannot find my way back home
Seven beers, coupla Pina Koladas
I ended up in a garden.

Why did I never listen
To my old buddy Lysuy?
He's been telling me
She's been cheating on me
With some bloke on my sofa.

Do I look like a hobo?
Bitches say I'm a good lovah
Why would you spread your legs?
Why are u having sex
With some bloke on my sofa?

If I see you together one of u wearing leather
I will kill u both not because I'm cross
But because it was my birthday present.
I'll forgive it not using

Dying like a 'show' man

The idea of proper burial has been significantly tinkered with. One can't but admire the creativity. Modern funeral services look like weddings with fireworks - English pravda.ru

Would you want to be said good-buy to in the same way? I would, but I wouldn want my loved ones to be present at the event. That wouldn't be fair to them. The whole idea is one offensive blow to the psyche of those who have come to say GB.

Chinese Couple Sells All Three Kids to Play Online Games

2011-07-30T00:24:00.002+04:00

Chinese Couple Sells All Three Kids to Play Online Games: "

A Chinese couple has found a great way to make money to feed their online gaming addiction; selling their babies! Apparently they sold all three of their young children- one for less than the equivalent of $500 in order to have the funds necessary to play online games for days at a time at an internet café. This article outlines the young couple’s deviant plan:

According to Sanxiang City News, the couple met in an Internet cafe back in 2007 and bonded over their obsession with online video games. A year later, the parents — who are both under 21 — welcomed their first child, a son. Days after his birth, they left him home alone while they went to play online games at an Internet cafe 30 km away.

In 2009, Li Lin and Li Juan welcomed their second child, a baby girl, and came up with the idea to sell her for money to fund their online game obsession. They did so, receiving RMB 3,000 (less than $500), which they spent entirely shortly after. The couple then proceeded to sell their first child and got 10 times as much for him — RMB 30,000, or about $4600.

What is most disturbing about this news story is that this happened in China. That means the USA is falling behind on its dominance for the deranged. Come on America! Are we going to let the Chinese beat us at being total degenerates? We need to take the lead here. Here’s an idea that could put America (and other countries around the world) back on track to be the best at nefarious forms of bartering. Think of the possibilities of using babies as a form of trade for all forms of gamming:

Old school video game arcades should use babies instead of coins or tokens . Want to play the new arcade version of World of Warcraft? Put away those quarters, that will be two newborn infants!

The Game Stop stores at the mall could trade in babies instead of used games. Want the latest Xbox game? That will be three slightly used babies.
Need more credits to download some games or apps for your Nintendo Wii? Simply mail in a fresh baby! Now you can download Super Mario Bros 3 to your Wii with the 500 credits you got in return!
Obviously this story is pretty sick, but what would you guys sell off in order to keep playing video games nonstop?

Origato!

Should there be a re-branding?

2011-07-29T11:07:00.002+04:00

Google says they're gonna rebrand Blogger to integrate it with G+. Once they do it, I guess Livejournal.com with its constant glitches will be history. Let's hope that the transition is smooth. Then, perhaps, I'll blog more about crazy ants stuck in someone's buttocks and cream spillages.

UPD. I'm dying to start in ...
