TMW you're reading "It" and the female character openly wonders if the guy sitting next to her on the plane has a "Nice polite college boy cock"

What am I even reading why is this in this book about a cosmic monster in Derry and why does Steven King insist on putting sexual content inside of a book about twelve year olds and said monster.

Does King have a child dungeon in his house?

He also wrote a sex scene at the end of the book. All the boys pull a train on the girl. And King also wrote a short story in which he described, in vivid detail, the rape of a young boy outside a library.

Mostly the latter, though King was influenced by an addiction to coke and alcohol early in his career, then when some guy ran him over after the driver tried to feed his dog.

I tried to read a book called The Secret Circle but couldn't get through it because the main character was a bitch. She always acted innocent and sweet, and always played the victim. She steals her best friend's boyfriend because their love is "written in the stars." The actual bitch character, the one we are meant to dislike, was a character I liked because she was mean to the main character.

Trust me, everyone (hell, even the KKK hates them for being anti-American and disrespectful of servicemen) would shoot them if they had the chance, but they're protected under the 1st due to "church" status and a Supreme Court case (admittedly, all the justices despised the WBC for what they had done to cause the case to appear in the first place and they sympathized with the dissenting justice's argument). Either way, if someone shot a majority of the Church or just rampaged against their HQ, it would be seen as assault or murder.

This is why I'm glad Britain has hate speech laws. They wouldn't last two seconds over here. Gotta' love how they claim to hate America but when they are challenged, they screech like banshees about their constitutional rights. Hypocrites of the highest order.

I know a lot of you won't care, but I've been really impressed with Season 21 of Thomas & Friends recently. First they formally introduced Big Mickey (who really hadn't spoken a word all these years, except for a couple of engines he occasionally talked to) after having him as a nameless and faceless background crane for decades, and then they surprise us by reintroducing Bulgy. Big Mickey's introduction actually inspired me to go talk to him when I went to Brendam Docks, and he's a very nice and polite crane. As for Bulgy, I've updated Percyton's Factbooks about the Little Western Line and Thomas' Branch Line in light of this new information (most of the stuff that happens in the TV series already happened a year or two before the episode aired on TV, but we're contractually forbidden from discussing those events until the episode airs).

It's going to cost UK taxpayers £61 million to fix Big Ben. That's on top of the billions needed to repair the Palace of Westminster, and even more to repair the Queen's official residences.

Yet we must accept cuts to public services because we must "live within our means." What a joke.

Very small report on Spanelsko. After 12 hours of fighting the coup of National Bolsheviks has been successful and the government of the N.C.R.P. has been arrested by the new government. Spanelsko is no longer Holy Empire and becomes Dictatorship under the new Overlord. Not much changes except for that bourgeoisie is now part of slave force. Racial laws will have a small change with Adenist and communist being accepted while Theocrats are enemies of the state. Communist ideas are now part of the INBWU (Iberian National Bolshevik Workers Union) Glory to the Red revolution.

So what do you all think about the Jamaica coalition that's most likely to be Germany's next government?

There is a Jamaica coaltion in the state of Schleswig-Holstein. It was elected earlier this year. And the state didn't go up in flames so it seems it isn't too bad.

Tho I guess there will be tough coalition negotiations since there are quite opposite opinions about a lot of topics.

I made a basic map of my Medieval RP nation. Gonna be making a big factbook about it soon too!

What do you have against Circus World Museum? Circuses aren't my things either, but they don't 'infuriate' me, and opposition to a circus museum isn't a core part of my beliefs system.

Gosh I just hate Circus's since I saw "It" :P

But in reality, I was talking about that blasted Clean Wehrmacht Myth. If there is one action I think I despise the most of the cold war actions, it would be the attempted pardoning of the German Military of what they did in WW2. It's lead to a whole generation of deniers and helped lead to Wehraboos in general...not to mention the sheer number of myths it helped to invent about German Weapons. :///

As an amateur historian and lover of weaponry, it really grinds my gears tbh.

I've also been considering the Medieval RP. Obviously I wouldn't include any sentient vehicles; I would just base it off of Sodor's history during the real life medieval period (for example, Sodor's king in this RP would likely be Godred Crovan, as he was Sodor's greatest king during the real medieval era).

A big day for rail travel, urban rail in particular. Toby, Flora, and the other trams on the Island are particularly excited about today: They're running a special service from Great Waterton to Arlesdale End to celebrate and give visitors tours about Sodor's tram history.

Things I do when I should be sleeping:

1) Make soup.

2) Go to home Depot for 2 hours with the wife to look at bathroom fixtures, buy nothing.

3) Take films of my kids with an old super 8 camera that no one can develop.

4) Clean a rifle for no reason.

5) Go to taco Bell then spend an hour designing post apocalypse taco Bell menus and ads for nation states...

Now I have 3 hours before I work a 12 hour overnight and all I can think of is "D.W. Dower's Traveling Badland Circus and Menagerie"
