Monday - 'tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church-door; but 'tis enough, 'twill serve

Happy Extermination Day! What's that, you might say? Well, it's the day, back in 1838, when the governator of Missouri said 'Hey you wacky-ass Mormons - get off my lawn. OR DIE.' Yes, the head honcho of the Loser state publically proclaimed that any Mormons who remained in his state be put to death. Or, as they said back then - "... the Mormons must be treated as enemies, and must be exterminated or driven from the State if necessary for the public peace—their outrages are beyond all description." So, they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly. Hills, that is. Can you imagine these days if we had that kinda power? How cool would it be to be like, "Hey, all scientologists, you got 24 hours to get your rich white asses out of this state, lestwise we pump your backside so full of lead ya'll gonna need tweezers to pull 'em out for months. Also we might kill you." Yep, those were the good ole days...(Hat tip to Rogues Gallery for the Extermination info!)

I mean, how do you top that?

NUKES. They top everything, motherfucker. And this link has a ton of pictures from the 50's, when it was cool to nuke the everliving shit out of islands and islanders. So damn cool.

So this weekend, due to the blogosphere buzz and my own curiosity, I started reading 'Watchmen'. I found a nice torrent of it at le bay des pirates, and am on chapter 10, near the end. If the movie is 1/2 as cool as this graphic novel, then we are all in luck - unfortunatly, it's being directed by the same asshat who made 300. So it might suck. But read the damn comic book - it's from 1986 and it's totally fresh and awesome, even in today's world. According to me. Also, there is plenty of blue penis. (NOW IN HD!!) (Dr. Manhatton rarely wears clothes. I wouldn't either, if I had his 'condition'.) Anyways, as someone who doesn't read much (if any) comics, these were fantastic.

It is well to remember that the entire universe, with one trifling exception, is composed of others.
