Most of the time "ugly" is a state of mind. To surpass that state of mind, you have to encourage the ugly person to reach beyond their ugliness - this is what the liquor is for. If that doesn't work, you'll need to look very hard for the inner beauty of the ugly person - this is what the paper bag is for.

Save FAQS.org!

So, if you're like me, you get in arguments all the time with people on the Innurnet. And when you get in those arguments, you like to have URLs to point to so that people know that you're really fricken serious about what you're talking about, and not just some big blowhard know-it-all bastardo, which in fact I am. So having FAQS.org around has preserved the illusion that you and I are not big assholes, which in fact is only partially true.
Dig it: FAQS.org. Like, it's a site that keeps ALL the FAQs you need, in one easy site, for free, without stupid ads or flashy thingies. And it's been pretty damn permanent, up until now, so you could pretty much tell people that they were stupid, and they should read the relevant RFCs about how stupid they are, and also that the newsgroup to which they are currently subscribed is moderated, because of stupid people like them, and that if they weren't so stupid they'd know that, from reading the relevant FAQ, namely,
http://www.faqs.org/fa qs/by-newsgroup/alt/alt.stupidity.html
...or some such.
Anyways, I was just writing a big-ass flame email to stupid Yahoo! Groups, who are really stupid and make really retarded non-standard digests of their email group postings, which seriously pisses me off because then Gnus can't read the digest automatically, which means I have to slog through it by hand, which is absolutely WRONG because I am a busy man and I have no time for this.
And, of course, I was referring the butt-related persons at Yahoo! Groups to the relevant RFCs which show how butt-related they are (namely, 1341 and 1153), and I was checking the FAQS.org site to make sure these were the right ones, and I realized that FAQS.org has big scary WE NEED MONEY messages all over the place, so then I gave them money.
And then I wrote this article to get you to give them money, so it keeps going on. Because I don't want my cover blown, and I'm sure you don't either. So give FAQS.org some fucken money, eh!? Damn.

Clowns Take on God in Mysterious Annual Ceremony
Last Sunday's (the 6th) Grimaldi Service at a small church in East London was a red-letter day for clowns worldwide. About a hundred old-school red-nosed clowns made the sombre trip to darkest Dalston to pay their respects to clowns who died in the last year and to thank God for the gift of laughter in a bizarre ceremony presided over by the eccentric Reverend Clown Roly, resplendent in a garish red lumberjack shirt with oversized gold lapels.

Johnnie Royale's Guide to Wakes
Wakes can present problems for Bad People of the Future. (If you don't know what a BPotF is, you need to read more of the PDJ.) Sure, your friend is gone and you miss him and that really sucks; it does, I know. But all Bad People of the Future are gonna die, and they have all accepted that fact. They do deserve, however, to have one final kickass party to celebrate all the bad things they've done in the past, present and future. And you, as a friend, have to make sure that their desire for a final send off is well executed (sorry for the pun). That's just the way of BPotFdom. (More...)
