Peaceful Sunday London

noreply@blogger.com (Fenris Badwulf) — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 02:43:00 PDT

Sunday morning in Old North London is an exquisitely peaceful place. Those noisy do nothings called road workers are off elsewhere, sleeping off their bloated wages paid to them for sleeping and noise making the rest of the week. The students, the hope of tomorrow, have finally gone to bed after their late nights of bunka-bunka music. So, with the dawn, there is the peace of the Forest City. You can rise up from your bed, smile at your mistress as she slumbers, and walk out to your front porch for a morning smoke, a coffee, or a decent cup of tea. I have a residence in Old North London, and it is my place of refuge. It is a sanctuary, a short walk from parks, a short walk to shopping; and surrounded by mind your own business neighbors. Walking in the woods, and which woods I will not tell you, I came across these forest mushrooms. If you recognize them, you know not to eat them. I did not pick them, as I do not pick things in the forest. I thought of telling my early rising...

Exterminate the Brutes

noreply@blogger.com (basil) — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 23:08:00 PDT

A city councillor distressed by more complaints about gang activity is trying again to get a controversial downtown intersection shut down for good. Ward 4 Coun. Stephen Orser has applied for formal delegation status at Monday’s environment and transportation committee (ETC) meeting to plead his case that a troubled intersection at Dundas and Richmond either be closed or gated. Orser said he was prompted to act by yet another complaint from a fearful business owner of the neighbourhood, at Dundas and Richmond steets. “He was terrified. A group of young thugs were kicking at his door and standing around the entrance,” Orser said. “He didn’t want to call police because he was fearful of repercussions.” Orser said he called police, who arrived quickly. He tried last year to have the intersection shut down after drug dealers were observed peddling their goods openly in the city core. Only cosmetic changes, such as removing graffiti, have been completed, Orser charged. “It’s like...

If you don't like the busker's song, smash his guitar - it's only property, right? It's not like you're hurting people

noreply@blogger.com (basil) — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 00:56:00 PDT

On Wednesday, I got mad. As always, I was dressed in black (the NIN t-shirt I got from the show is my fav!) and, as I often do, I made my way to the LCBO. When I got there, there was some scumbag singing "This is not a Love Song" on acoustic guitar out front (don't they have security to put the run on feces like this?). And I thought, "WTF, don't you watch the news? The people of Canada have been rioting in the street against "enterprise" and this pathetic, brainwashed, enterprising piece of shit is condoning "selling out" right in front of the People's liquor store - and asking fucking money for it!" I promptly grabbed the hammer I stole from the local hardware store for the recent party in T.O. (pay for shit, fuck that!) and attacked this worthless capitalist scum's guitar for all it was worth. I hate that song! I don't want to hear it! FUCK YOU BUSKER! Well, you should've seen that shit head grovel! It was priceless! And I was in and out of the LCBO to grab my goods...

Is it getting hot in here, or is it just me?

noreply@blogger.com (basil) — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 01:43:00 PDT

Seems everywhere Al Gore goes, things get hot. She called Gore, "a pervert" and a "sexual predator." Hagerty said he's "not what people think -- he is a sick man … " The song was “Dear Mr. President” by Pink.… As soon as he had it playing, he turned to me and he immediately flipped me flat on my back and threw his whole body face down over atop me, pinning me down and outweighing me by quite a bit. Get off me, you big lummox! I loudly yelled protested to him… We lay on our sides a couple feet apart, looking at each other as he played the song, him singing along with it as if he were revealing deep feelings like some bizarre karaoke and me stuck there.... He prevailed upon me to listen to just this one other song about women’s feelings and their inner self and trust that he said his wife introduced him to, which is about a woman choosing to let a man into her deeper self or some such things. All this time I thought it was methane of his thoughts that made everyone so uncomfortable ....

Eavesdrop on the harmonious background sound of the Universe

noreply@blogger.com (basil) — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 22:27:00 PDT

Pythagoras and LSD: "When you are hearing what the sonifications do you really are hearing the data. It's true to the data, and it's telling you something about the data that you couldn't know in any other way," said Archer Endrich, a software engineer working on the project. "We can hear clear structures in the sound, almost as if they had been composed. They seem to tell a little story all to themselves. They're so dynamic and shifting all the time, it does sound like a lot of the music that you hear in contemporary composition," [Richard Dobson] explained. Although the project's aim is to provide particle physicists with a new analysis tool, Archer Endrich believes that it may also enable us to eavesdrop on the harmonious background sound of the Universe.

In case of sonic attack at the G20 protest follow these rules . . .

noreply@blogger.com (basil) — Thu, 27 May 2010 13:40:00 PDT

The addition of sound cannons to the arsenal available to security forces managing G20 protests comes as no surprise to groups planning to demonstrate in Toronto at next month’s summit. “It will allow us to communicate, most effectively, our demands to the crowd" [said Const. Wendy Drummond, spokeswoman for Toronto police.] The devices — some call them weapons — use an array of tweeters familiar to any hi-fi enthusiast that work in tandem to produce the high volume levels. “Saying a sound cannon is a tool for communications is like saying waterboarding isn’t torture, just a tool for encouraging dialogue,” said [Council of Canadians] spokesman Mark Calzavara.This is Hawkwind, do not panic!

Have a safe 24 weekend

On a Canadian holiday traditionally celebrated with a "24" of one's favourite brew, The London Fog would like to remind our readers to play safe and not throw caution to the wind in the heat of the drunken moment with that smokey smelling girl who's the last one to pass out at the camp fire. Keep in mind that after a couple days of steady drinking . . . There's an election on the horizon, and you don't want to be distracted by troublesome genitals when you could be defeating the Axis of Evil running your city.

Mock Them All

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Wed, 12 May 2010 12:57:00 PDT

Lorne Gunter writing about the recent South Park controversy: There are several disconcerting aspects to the incident in which the animated series South Park allegedly insulted Muslims by blaspheming Muhammad. The death threats made to the creators of the show for their "outright insult" to the prophet came from a radical Muslim group inside the United States, not one in some far-off land. The network the show airs on, Comedy Central, and the company that owns the network, Viacom, instantly bowed to the threats and censored out depictions of and references to Muhammad from a subsequent episode. Authorities seemed not to treat the threats as a criminal matter. And the satirical references to Jesus that followed slipped by without incident. [...] If it had been Christian zealots who had promised death for insulting depictions of Christ, the media, bureaucracy and politicians would have known instantly and instinctively to criticise and contain them. But political correctness...

May the Best man win!

noreply@blogger.com (basil) — Tue, 11 May 2010 22:33:00 PDT

I, for one, am outraged at the the length of time Her Worship's husband has had to wait to clear his name of the ridiculous accusations he faces. And to make him wait until January to clear his name is clearly an indication that someone, somewhere, wants this innocent man to suffer indefinitely. Nor is it a coincidence that this incident has been drawn out to coincide with the upcoming election. The black cloud hanging over the incumbent mayor is clearly a cheap trick by nefarious forces to defame our glorious leader. I'm sure the key witness, who has run to the other side of the world, must certainly have requested he face the Taliban rather than further slander this innocent man's name. To think that the police would have the audacity to assume that just because our man was (supposedly - accusation unproven in court) caught jogging through some backyards in Dorchester shortly after an SUV (supposedly - accusation unproven in court) belonging to him was crashing into cars...

Mind Your Own Business

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Wed, 05 May 2010 14:06:00 PDT

According to Barbara Kay, writing in the National Post on Wednesday, the pill has been more of a hindrance than a help to women, and she suggests it is more of a burden and contributes to a breakdown of marriage. I take issue with this statement, as I never wanted children and have been with the same man for years. Better to be responsible than have to resort to an abortion if you are dead set against having children. And what about condoms? Such a backward advance I suppose, considering they help protect against disease and also provide a relatively natural alternative to contraception. I have no interest in taking the pill because it interferes with a woman's health, but I do take responsibility for my actions and it is none of Ms. Kay's business on how other folks conduct their behavior. I don't need children and never have. Really, mind your own business.

A Friend in Need, A Friend in Socialism

noreply@blogger.com (Fenris Badwulf) — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 17:05:00 PST

Tonight, the rousing pre-dinner speech at the food bank related to the fifteenth Socialist Virtue, that of helping out the State by rushing forward to fill the gap in whatever area of the economy where the State had bungled it's responsibilities. I did not pay much attention after that, as I was engaged in a struggle of nerves with a lout who was trying to jump the line to get a better portion of tonight's issue, which was formed chicken cubes, set in a petri dish gravy of chicken and corn starch. I have a friend on the outside. She still lives in a house. I see her every now and then. She has a problem. So, inspired by tonight's lecture, I decided to act where the State had failed. I would be a good guy, and act as judge, jury, and executioner, where the State judiciary, the taxspender stuffed juries, and non-existent State executioners, had failed. I was being progressive. There is a delicate situation where two people in a work environment do not get along. One of them is...

Is your housecat a god?

noreply@blogger.com (Fenris Badwulf) — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 21:00:00 PST

There are spiritual beings out there that like to take over the bodies of animals and men. Now, let us think about this. When these spirits, familiar to most Ouija board users, decide on which critter or primate to inhabit, a certain amount of lifestyle choice is made. If you were a werewolf, for example, you look for wolves, or people. You have a werewolf sort of experience. It may last only a few days, or an entire military campaign. But it is the choice of the werewolf. But there are more spirits out there, unattached to mortal flesh, than werewolves. Think about house cats. They live a life of luxury, a long life of luxury, where in their natural state they are short lived, insect eating swamp demons. The true wild cat, delights in swamp dwelling, and its senses are attuned to harvesting the tasty bugs, the crunchy spiders, the sun sleepy flies, and the dullard froglings. Being a house cat, with a brace of primates to provide food and entertainment, is the lifestyle...

Moon in Scorpio Moon in Detriment

noreply@blogger.com (Fenris Badwulf) — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 19:55:00 PST

Pagan London is not so hidden and asleep now. The Age of Aquarius is upon us, and this is the time of the passing of the torch from the old to the new. The Sun is in Aquarius and this abomination occurred: a tree was cut down. Every tree worshiper knows that this in the most horrible blasphemy. And when this happened, a witch and her black cat were disturbed in their winter melancholy. This is a very bad omen for the five lazy public sector workers who woke up a witches black cat from his nine lifetime regular nap just after sunset breakfast. Bad enough a black cat is feeling hate towards these foolish mortals, but they also disturbed a witch. As an angry Saturn scowls down upon the sacrilege of cutting down a tree during the time that the Sun is in Aquarius, there are also powerful curses finding their way through the invisible and astral realms. Tomorrow morning, as these damned public sectors awake from a nightmare filled sleep, they will find themselves host to warts,...

Bicycles good, private jets better! "Comrades!" he cried. "You do not imagine, I hope, that we climate change delegates and officials are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike foie gras and sculpted caviar wedges. I dislike them myself. Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health. Foie gras and sculpted caviar wedges (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of climate change delegates and officials. We delegates and officials are brainworkers. The whole management and organization of this earth depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we eat foie gras and sculpted caviar wedges."

U2 Berlin Wall double think

Socialist Bono and friends erecting new walls in Berlin: A U2 show marking the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall has run into controversy - after organisers built a wall around the venue. A two metre barrier has been erected around the Brandenburg gate to keep out people without tickets for the show. Perhaps it's there to keep people from walking out on Bono's sermons about governments giving tax dollars to 3rd world nations while he dodges the tax man in his native land?
