	"...but what do you think ninjas were thinkin' when Noah was running around with a long ass beard and a wooden staff?" They were probably thinking, "why am I in the fourteenth[ish] century BC in the Middle East instead of sixteenth century AD in Japan?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And probably something along the lines of "Damn its hot here." Of course Noah would be wondering wondering what happened to his boat and why he's being confused wiht Moses. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	As a pagan I truely believe you cannot feel such things as harshness or harmfull action or words, As a sane human being, I'm reasonably certain you cannot feel such things as words, too. Wasn't the Dark Carnival that thing Mommy Fortuna had in the Last Unicorn? Or was that the Midnight Carnival? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	At least it is in the book, I'm not sure if they changed it in the movie or anything. It's been a while since I last saw the movie. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Dark Carnival was an early collection by Ray Bradbury that is worth a ton of money. The Dark Carnival bookstore in Berkeley(?) was named for it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I lived in Berkeley for 18 years and I ain't never heard of no Dark Carnival bookstore. But there are a fuckload of them, so. My favorite is called the Other Change of Hobbit. It has a mural on the front involving a cat in a spacesuit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I think Dark Carnival was where I found my very first Doctor Who books, back in the late 70s. There was a little basket of STAMP OUT STAR TREK badges by the cash register. Comics and Comix was on Telegraph, and a lovely place back in the day. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	backfromspace 2004-10-26 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	There was a comic book store on Telegraph I used to walk to after school sometimes (it was only, like, three blocks away) but I never actually looked at the sign. Or bought anything, come to think of it. I read most of Bone in the corner, though. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I LOVE that kitty! They had a scare for a while when it got sick, I think it was some kind of cancer. I donated a dollar to the Help Kitty Get Well Fund or something. It was a long time ago. That kitty is like twenty years old. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I know I've run into this girl before, but I'll be darned if I can remember where. It was several years ago, though, before I found LJ. She was on some e-list I was on, and the people on the list very patiently tried to explain that a band was not a religion. Looks like it didn't take. (Reply to this)

I own all of the ICP cd's and find them to do nothing but poke fun at acts that most bible thumping goverment officials have told us are wrong, like murder,rape, and exessive drug use.

That whole gay marriage ban issue? It's just a front. The Bible thumping are really trying to distract us while they secretly legislate away our rights to make snuff films. Damn the man! Free the Geranium tapes!

	Wow, their moral code is very sophisticated. "For example, if I stole a toaster from K-Mart that really ain't shit. Nobody really suffers over that. If I stole YOUR toaster, that's wack. Cause you don't get to have any toast tomorrow morning. That's a greedy and a heartless thing to do. I believe shit like that is evil." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	bubosquared 2004-10-26 12:22 pm UTC (link)
	Because it's not like K-Mart loses a lot of money each year because of people thinking it's fine to steal from big corporations, money they then "win back" by not giving the lower echelon workers a payrise or anything. Um, sorry. Wank button, there. ^_^; (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

That's not wanky, that's true! Whichever fat, rapping clown that was in the interview, he's such a meathead.

While I don't endorse trolling, sometimes I daydream of trolling their boards with pictures of sad clowns and Eminem/ICP slash. If you so much as mention Eminem to the "Juggalos," they go nuts and threaten to kill you with hatchets. Stealing toasters is wack, but murder is not.

	So long as Limp Bizkit is around, there needs to be someone they "feud" with who is visibly lamer. Since even the trashcan playing clown from Slipknot could kick Fred Durst's pasty ass, ICP must stay alive, so that he can look cool by comparison. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	You're... you're kidding, right? People actually worship ICP? (okay, I know that's not the proper explanation, but still) And don't realize that everything that comes out of their mouths on the record is complete bullshit? Geez, I liked "The Amazing Jeckel Bros", but I'm not about to go out and start trying to worship the path to Shangri-la and shit. O_o Wow. (Reply to this)
