for the au courant impaired, like myself, is this a reference to twittering about mj's funeral plans? or is ashton kutcher somehow involved in this mess without me noticing it?
This is actually quite hilarious. Matt is walking around an empty house, going from room to room and describing it as, "This room used to have chairs and sofas and rugs." Then he opens the door to an empty closet and says, completely straight-faced, "This used to have clothes in it."
The Jacksons are officially the creepiest family ever. What type of respect is it to have an open casket for the public when the guy spent most of his life with his face covered in masks?
@Queen of the Passive Aggressives: Honestly I was kind of hoping they would go the Lenin's Tomb route and take him on tour. Doesn't he already own a sleep chamber that could preserve him?
Strangely enough, a few years ago I deciphered a Courtney Love post (I also speak jive) where she speculated that Bin Laden was probably heavily on drugs when he dreamed up the scheme. I found the idea stangely compelling.. he has access to opium and heroin. And what else are you going to do in a cave all day? Don't know why, but even crazy people make sense sometimes, and her idea that Bin Laden is on heavy narcotics rang a gong for me.
@Baroness: first, i peed a little at "i also speak jive"but the reasons why this is highly improbable is because it is widely believed that OBL has liver of kidney problems, which if he was on opiates, he would be dead by now, and also that he is a fundamentalist muslim, and thus does not take any drugs which cloud the mind.
@SugitaAlcimede: I hear you, but how do we know any of this? Opium and even heroin are organic substances.. one doesn't just die of smoking opium, even if he had this condition. And he was dreaming up 9/11 a long time before, one imagines. Beck into the 90's.
Not disagreeing, just mistrustful of info fed to us by the people who so royally fucked up- no, gave up- trying to capture the murderous bastard who so harmed a city I love deeply. All the tosh about him on death's door because of "kidney problems"- it's never been proven. We know nothing.
I still want vengeance though. The Taliban have officially taken over a chunk of Pakistan, I read today. Fancy that.
@LucilleMcGillicuddy: That is not the only way people are pulled into cults. Often they have other reasons, such as a feeling of not fitting into mainstream society, or simply boredom. You should read Murakami's Underground, especially the second part.
The Professor then gives Tichy a flask of "up'n'at'm, one of the vigilanimides, a powerful countersomniac and antipsychem agent. A derivative of dimethylethylhexabutylpeptopey...". With his first sip of up'n'at'm, Tichy watches as the gilded surroundings of the five-star restaurant they are in evaporates into a dingy concrete bunker and his stuffed pheasant turns into 'the most unappetizing gray-brown gruel, which stuck in globs to my tin--no longer silver--fork'.
What would happen if the Scientologists suddenly realized they're not, in fact, gaining telepathic powers through their service and payment?
1) Is really depressed and sleeps on his office couch
2) Surfs some of the biggest waves in the non jet ski world
3) Chucked the insanity to make babies
4) Sees one patient every 10 minutes and spends 7 of those 10 writing prescriptions.
5) Did his residency in psychiatry *after* being completely paralyzed by polio and was one of the last people to know what really happened to Marilyn since he took the knowledge that Dr. Greenson passed to him to his grave.
None of them hypnotized or drugged people into terrorist acts.

I understand there are plans to put him in a glass coffin. When are they casting for the seven dwarfs?

Isn't life all about trying to find your own answers? People who fall prey to
cults don't seem to realize that life isn't always supposed so super easy to
figure out. Sometimes you DON'T have answers - that's how you learn! Gain
wisdom! Evolve!
