Tibetan Karmapa Defects!
2000-01-07 18:46:57
So, this kid is 14 years old and he's like trekking across mountain wasteland, all wounded and fucked up, sneaking past Chinese troops. Maybe he almost fell into a deadly trap with a femme fatale with a heart of poison. I don't know. The point is, he's way cooler and more revolutionary than the Beastie Boys.
So the Karmapa, the spiritual leader of Tibet, decided to defect after the chinese government stopped letting Tibetan teacher types come teach him.
So he told the guards he was going to go on a religious retreat, snuck past them through thorny bushes, got to a jeep, eluded the millions of guards coming after him, and got to safe ground in India.
Fuck yeah!
He's like the protagonist in a video game. Jump over the Chinese guard, duck into the thorny bush to escape, but you'll lose life points from doing so.
The boy is named Ugyen Trinly Dorje.
And the Chinese communist government got Catholic allies to name a bunch of bishops not approved by the pope.
WHAT THE FUCK? Communist China, you're supposed to be ATHEIST.
LAY THE FUCK OFF, for The Revolutionary Peoples' sake!

My dear and close friend, Porn Maven Shannon Mariemont, sent me a titillating message the other day about her new project: the PornOrchestra. Her desire, at most, is to reinvent the porn soundtrack and, at least, to receive a cease-and-desist order like all her cool friends did last year. (More...)

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.
