More troubling stuff in the wake of the massacre: the South Korean embassy and US officials are working on measures to prevent revenge attacks on Koreans in the States. For goodness sakes...
That Fox News clip posted by Wanusmaximus has the reporter speaking of a "horrible holocaust". Wasn't it bad enough without the Fox jerkoff having to hype it like that?
America is a country in fear and with a deep-seated mass neurosis (or is psychosis the better word?). While it's entirely possible to own a gun without having to shoot people with it, that - to kill and wound- is the only purpose of a gun.
The fact that large swathes of the populace feels it necessary to carry a lethal weapon while going about every-day business speaks volumes of how insecure the country is. It's at war with itself.
That insecurity manifests itself pretty easily too... I was warned to lay off "the Euro British sense of humour" in LA not long ago, because people might not find it funny and pop a cap in me. Must be great being a stand-up comedian in States... hope they give them bullet-proof vests at least. That experience made me realise that Sacha Baron Cohen is either incredibly brave or a complete idiot.

The crabs of ineffable wisdom, who pwn penile pesticide.
Sorry, what were we talking about again?

No, I was thinking of something more romantic, like a loose but very loving guinea pig.

Whether it's Quick to pick up, hard to put down or Easy to pick up, hard to put down you have to admit they have some interesting alternative meanings, if you consider the "pick up" and "put down" bits in particular.
Sounds like a strapline for that infamous B-movie, Bad Night at the Pet Bar, in fact.

Can I just say that "Bosomworth" is an amazing name?

As an Occasional Copywriter, I am often highly amused by real estate agents' efforts when it comes to advertisements.
I think the best one so far was for a ground-floor unit with easy access. Hence, it was headlined:
Disabled's Delight!

Gary McCormick: that's borderline brilliant. Not if you take it literally, but in the Swiftian sense it is.
"Luckily the NZ Govt has never succumbed and bought lemons for our defence forces."
You're not being serious, but that comment made me think of the Charles Upsidedownton and the rolling LAVs taking soldiers up shit creek without enough paperwork.
There's some sort of systemic failure in the weapons industry that means nothing works unless its cobbled together during war time (ie. kept simple and robust because it has to work).

I like my vowels short though... and Cronkite makes me think of pulmonary issues, not current affairs.

How do you feel now?
Was that hard?
Are you going to apologise?
Can you tell us what you think of it?I am Juha Saarinen, and you are reading my comment on Public Address. Good night!

Yes it does. Airtight New World variety preferred of course. Let's see how you talk your way out of that one.
