About
me: After dropping out of high school I joined a circus and obtained employment feeding non-essential parts of my body to animals in a fifty cent side show. Billed as 'Kalvin Kan, The Amazing Anthropocentric Organ Grinder', I prospered there until the show went bankrupt due to lagging interest and several climacteric legal proceedings. Insolvent and without any real prospects, I sold plasma, which provided me with enough money to survive. And although it wasn't actually my own plasma, it eventually allowed me to save enough money to invest in a famous nation-wide chain of drive-thru liquor and gun shops.
Although my 'Speedy Bullets And Bourbon' franchise did provide me with a tidy revenue, the combination of driving, firearms and drunkenness were inexplicably becoming 'politically incorrect', so I wisely sold my share in the enterprise to The Branch Davidians. It was then that I developed an interest in religious profiteering, so I invested my capital into a remunerative ideology and created 'The Church Of The Benign Idea', a quasi-religious organization which espoused the ideals of meddlesome indoctrination and ungoverned venality. As ticket boy and minister of propaganda, I was free to further my individual conception of moralistic reality, while at the same time reaping the benefits of an opportune non-taxable income. However, due to an embarrassing sexual tryst I had with an entire Tupperware party in 1990, I was compelled to resign my position by my congregation due to what were described as 'moral anachronisms'.
Where
I am now: It was at that point in my life that I was forced to find employment in a field with absolutely no moral center or ethical code. So, I considered either turning to prostitution or becoming an attorney. Then, in a bold notion, I had the inspiration to combine the two professions, but the title of 'Judicial Pimp-izle' just raised too many eyebrows in the heart of white-bread America. Scandalized, financially exasperated and politically destitute, I went utterly insane and moved back to my home town of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, where my previous experience with bodily fluids and Tupperware helped me to obtain a position as tour guide at the Berkshire Museum's Ancient Egyptian Plastic Canoptic Jar display, where I am employed to this day. Come down and see me anytime!
hey whats goin on killer im in

Hey!! Life in Reseda is good. How are you?? And OG, if trees could scream, do you think we would be so casual about cutting them down? I'm betting that we would, especially if they screamed all the time, and for no good reason.
I'd like to share a revelation I had during my time here on MySpaced Goose. It came to me when I tried to classify the human species. I realized that they're not actually mammals. Every mammal on the planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but the humans do not. They move to an area and they multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way they can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on the planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, the cancer of this planet. They are a plague, and we are the cure.
Hey OG - I am going to Cheyenne Mountain in September for a business trip and am planning to connect with Lionel. Nuclear reactors could provide power almost indefinitely in CMOC. Greenhouses could maintain plantlife. Animals could be bred and slaughtered. If I had to guess... a dwelling space for several hundred thousands of our people could easily be provided there. If you are free you should go too!
THANKS FOR THE ADD! gooseberry! sounds like a breakfast cereal... "I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him." ~ Mark Twain
Gooseman! No matter what happened Wednesday night, I never was a punk, I never shot junk, I never even tried it... counter-culture passed me right by. But the 70's were the 70's, you know? I know that you know that I know that you do!
Yo, Yo, Yo! During the epoch of the dictatorship of the proletariat there can be no policy of universal freedom in our country, i.e., the freedom of speech, press, etc., for the bourgeoisie. See you Friday.
dude, thanks for the congrats on being a "functional alcoholic"... anyhoo, ray and robbie and i are renting a house on oneida lake next week but i will leave early to make sure i get back for the festivities in pittsfield. are you planning on coming into town for it?
OG: The world is not respectable; it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter; and in these, the spirit blooms timidly, and struggles to the light amid the thorns.
1. the word "praemunire"
2. who let the dogs out
3. the proper use of
the title "Don"
4. the formula for Coca-Cola
5. what was in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction
'Dear Cenobyte,' began the innocent-looking message. 'You, sir, are a snob.' Immediately I was taken aback. A snob? Hmmm, could it have been my recent statement, 'One feels quite strongly that were Dante alive today, the great architect of the afterlife himself would have reserved a special and torturous space in the lowest of the sub-basements of Hell for those who visit Taco Bell for the Nachos Grande'? Perhaps one should not be quite so vehement. In fact, level 5 should be sufficient for those gastronomic cretins.
Goose, you know that Americans like to talk about (or be told about) Democracy, but when put to the test, usually find it to be an "inconvenience." We have opted instead for an authoritarian system disguised as a Democracy. We pay through the nose for an enormous joke-of-a-government, let it push us around, and then wonder how all those assholes got in there.

This Profile No Longer Exists. But even so, I would still like to take this opportunity to say that Dane Cook sucks balls.
Judges ought to be more leaned than witty, more reverent than plausible, and more advised than confident. Above all things, integrity is their portion and proper virtue. And, they should most certainly do it for teh lulz, too. ZOMG EPIC WIN LOL! ROTFFLMFAO!!!
It is said that the host that was there assembled was fairer and more splendid in arms than any that has since been seen in Middle-earth, and none greater has been mustered since the host of the Valar went against Thangorodrim. From Imladris they crossed the Misty Mountains by many passes and marched down the River Anduin, and so came at last upon the host of Sauron on Dagorlad, the Battle Plain, which lies before the gate of the Black Land. All living things were divided in that day, and some of every kind, even of beasts and birds, were found in either host, save the elves only.
They alone were undivided and followed Gil-galad.
To answer your question Goose, the act of swallowing a sword is a very personal interaction between two fundamentally dissimilar objects and points of view - Firstly: a human being's easily damaged upper-gastrointestinal (GI) tract... and then a razor sharp tempered steel sword. The upper GI tract is a series of connected organs and other living soft human tissue. This tried-and-true biological nutritional intake system includes the throat, or pharynx, and the esophagus and also the stomach itself. Not only is the GI tract relatively soft, it also has several pronounced curves while in its relaxed state. A highly sharpened piece of steel like a sword, on the other hand, is inanimate and rigid. Counterintuitively, although some sword swallowers can indeed swallow a wavy blade, like a kris (goddamn Diablo geeks!), and some actually incorporate curved swords into their performances, most circus geeks prefer to swallow swords that are completely straight.
Sorge, ich habe aufgesetzt Sie schimpfen wieder nicht? Was im Namen des Gottes der bedeutet? Sie Dämmstoff-Dummkopf! Sie sollten unten an meinen Füßen Sie Eichhörnchen sexer beugen!
Goose! I feel you my friend, but it seems to me that any sensible person must see that violence does not change the world and if it does, then only temporarily. And dammit, I don't interupt anyone's personal phone calls with direction, so why do people insist upon interupting my movies with ringtone noises?
Ol' Gooseberry! My Man! Consider: Music is the wine which inspires one to new generative processes, and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for mankind and makes them spiritually drunken.
S #1: Where'd you get the coconuts?
A : We found them.
S #1: Found them? In Mercia? The coconut's tropical!
A : What do you mean?
S #1: Well, this is a temperate zone.
A : The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land.
S #1: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
A : Not at all. They could be carried.
S #1: What? A swallow carrying a coconut?
A: It could grip it by the husk!
S #1: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.
A: Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here.
S #1: Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?
A: Please!
S #1: Am I right?
A: I'm not interested!
S #2: It could be carried by an African swallow!
S #1: Oh, yeah, an African swallow maybe, but not a European swallow. That's my point.
S #2: Oh, yeah, I agree with that.
A: Will you ask your master if he wants to join my court at Camelot?!
S #1: But then of course African swallows are non-migratory.
S #2: Oh, yeah...
S #1: So they couldn't bring a coconut back anyway...
Grilled Lamb Loin Chops (For best results, use a charcoal grill):
6 chops
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon of Balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
Garlic powder
Rosemary
Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl and place the chops in the bowl, coating them evenly. Let lamb chops marinate in the refrigerator for about 2 hours before grilling.
