Angst, bile and too much time on my hands courtesy of Man Mountain Molehill. Sunday, August 29, 2004. I love these books. Best reading experience I've had so far this decade. I'm re-reading them right now. But they do show some signs of being hastilly rewritten or edited. Problem: How far away is Cygnus X1? The text sometimes gives it as 1000 lightyears, and sometimes 10,000. In at least one instance it gives both values in the same paragraph. (I looked it up in the NASA database, it's 14,000).

Angst, bile and too much time on my hands courtesy of Man Mountain Molehill. Saturday, May 29, 2004. If Not A Daisy Cutter. Napalm, a quad-mount cal 50, willie pete, a tactical nuke, anything. The injustice of the homeless crisis is demanding our compassion. Posted by Man Mountain : 5:16 PM. Comments: Post a Comment.

Angst, bile and too much time on my hands courtesy of Man Mountain Molehill. Sunday, May 22, 2005. Shit-sucking commie fucktard nanny-state moonbat sleazewad Democrats. Bible-thumping flat-Earther creationist douchebag censorship-mongering ignoramous Republicans? Somtimes I wish there really were a Hell just so politicians could burn in it. Fuck them all. And I mean that sincerely, from the bottom of my heart. Posted by Man Mountain : 9:25 PM. Comments: Post a Comment.

Angst, bile and too much time on my hands courtesy of Man Mountain Molehill. Tuesday, July 20, 2004. It's in my pants. I want my Sandy Burger fried extra crispy, y'all. Watch out for the "innadvertantly" defense, as in. Yes your honor, I innadvertantly hunted down the man who was banging my wife innadvertantly like a dog and innadvertantly shot him 15 times at close range". Posted by Man Mountain : 11:59 AM.

Angst, bile and too much time on my hands courtesy of Man Mountain Molehill. Monday, July 19, 2004. Heretical Thoughts (No. 2 in a series). What's so great about Miles Davis? This thug's tuneless noodling has obsessed jazzophiles for far too long. What's the point of cool jazz, anyway? It's boring and repetitive. All Blues is all blah. It's one step removed from elevator music. Worst Intonation. Ever. Davis couldn't hit a pitch if Roger Clemens lobbed it over the plate underhand. Comments: Post a Comment.

Angst, bile and too much time on my hands courtesy of Man Mountain Molehill. Saturday, July 24, 2004. I like American cheese. Not only that, after years of wandering in the wilderness of grey poupon and other designer goo, I've decided I prefer regular old French's yellow. It's nice and tangy, and it comes in a squeeze bottle. What else could one desire? Posted by Man Mountain : 9:45 PM. Comments: Post a Comment.

Angst, bile and too much time on my hands courtesy of Man Mountain Molehill. Tuesday, July 13, 2004. Heretical Thoughts (No. 1 in a series). What's so good about Glenn Gould? I just tried listening to his version of the Goldberg Variations, which only confirms my earlier opinion from his English Suite. He chews over every note like a piece of overcooked liver. Tasteless, lifeless, slow and torturous playing. Anal retentive, dragging, constipated and painful. As dead as a human MIDI file.

Angst, bile and too much time on my hands courtesy of Man Mountain Molehill. Thursday, May 27, 2004. Note To Andrew Sullivan. If you're going to support a tax on gas I'm going to support a tax on Astroglide. The reasoning to support either is equally specious. Posted by Man Mountain : 12:51 PM. Comments: Post a Comment.

Angst, bile and too much time on my hands courtesy of Man Mountain Molehill. Thursday, August 12, 2004. Trying to find something worth reading I realized that science fiction and fantasy have degenerated into a vast wasteland of subliterate bilge. Every other book seems to be something along the lines of. Book Four of the Chronicles of the Droningonandon Saga Trilogy" or some such unreadable bilge. Who reads this crap? The F is for Frday Evening the Rabbi's Cat Had a Ham and Cheese Sandwich Murders".

Angst, bile and too much time on my hands courtesy of Man Mountain Molehill. Thursday, January 20, 2005. Jerry "kiss-my-butt-I've-got-5-PhDs-and-a Computer" Pournelle has announced the release of his and Larry "I Write Like a Brain-Damage Case" Niven's new opus, Burning Tower. Here's what Jackass has to say about it:. BURNING TOWER is a romance. My wife likes it. It's also heroic fantasy, but the kind we write with rivets and nuts and bolts. And it's a whacking good story if I do say so myself. Back in t...
