"Real meaning of life...stuff" - Daniel Jackson
Thursday, August 23, 2007

So I went to the store today to buy some paint for the upstairs bathroom, which has had the wallpaper removed and the walls washed down with vinegar water, scraped with a putty knife to get the residual past off, and then wiped down again with the vinegar water again.  The only way to be sure, short of nuking the site form orbit.

I cut myself three times with the putty knife.  The vinegar water stings pretty bad when it gets in the cuts.

"But putty knives don't have sharp edges" you say.

"I know," I answer.  Yet here I am.  Three putty-knife cuts on my hands.  I am able to apply quite a lot of pressure to a putty-knife, apparently, and when it slips, there is badness.

So I go to the store and I pick out my colors, a pretty bright blue and a nice browny-green that, while coming from two comletely different sets of Granamal-style color-grouped chips, complement each other well.

I bring it up to the paint-mixer lady, and she exclaims over my selections "These colors are PERFECT together.  Oh my God!  They're absolutely perfect, they just make me want to go paint something."

"OK", she says, scanning the chips and setting the machine, "Prussian Blue, and..."

"Excuse me?" I ask, blood turning cold in my veins.

"Prussian Blue.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes.  What?  Is there something wrong?"

"uh...no...go ahead."

So I go home and I'm painting and my friend Barb calls me on the phone and I tell her that the name of my color is "prussian blue",and it's all wrong.

"Why?  not a good color?"

"No...It's a fine color, perfect It's just...first of all, it's kind of Robin's egg blue...a little lighter, but close, and Prussian Blue is..."

"More like Cobalt"

"Exactly."

Then, I tell her about how it is also the name of the teeny-bopper Neo-Nazi pop band comprised of Lynx and Lamb Gaede.

"So.  you have a neo-nazi bathroom?"

"Yeah."

Then, I held the phone out from my ear as she lets out peals of unrelenting laughter.

"You know I'm going to be calling this your Neo-nazi bathroom for the rest of your life right?"

"Sigh.  Yep.  I know."

Thanks, Ben.

You're a peach.

I love Prussian Blue. Both the band and the color!

You made a great choice.

That color has been around for a very long time, don't be ignorant.

Ha,ha,..now your bathroom is the same color as the inside if a nazi gas chamber.
Prussian Blue is color of the residue that is left behind after ZyklonB has been used.
But then again, there were no traces of it in the alleged gas chambers, so I guess your bathroom isn't the same color of a nazi air raid shelter,..oops, I mean gas chamber.

Wow! So much Neo-Nazi interest in my decor! You come all on like a blood-stained hurricane with a name like STORMFRONT and then you show your sensitive side like this!

Gives new meaning to the phrase "Keep yer powder dry", doesn't it?

Wow! another smear article against Prussian Blue from a clueless media zombie.
The media wants you to hate two young girls and you are so eager to comply that you have wasted no time in composing a stupid story about them.
What's really amusing is how you consider yourself to be a writer and then go on to describe three mild responses to your childish story as a "blood stained hurricane."
Don't quit your day job,.. if you have one.

Borgy,

Actually, I was mocking the desperately macho invocation of the name "STORMFRONT" as "bloodstained hurricane", and mocking your "mild" responses as "sensitive" (ie, insipid, weak, lacking energy). It's OK, I'm sure that you are better able to understand in whatever your native language is.

The story wasn't about "the girls" at all, but instead about how stupid it was that the name of the color I chose was "prussian blue" when it actually had no resenblance to the real color "prussian blue" and how weird it was that they would chose the name of one color for a completely different color...and it just happened to be the same as this Nazi band that weirds me out because they are so strangely hateful.

A bizarre series of coincidences that count as anomalous data.


Anyway, don't worry about it, just spend a little more time with your ESL tutor, and I'm sure you'll be able to understand the story when you re-read it.

You're a fraud, Teresa. Nothing more than a pseudo intellectual.
You are an obnoxious bore who needs to fall back on ad hominum attacks when faced with adversity.
Your story was about the girls, they were the intended punch line in your stupid story.
That was the whole idea behind it.

Prussian Blue sings about racial pride, European heritage and culture.
They sing about self respect and their music gives hope to young people who have become confused about their identity in a society that is being led into racial and cultural suicide.
They don't sing about drugs, gang banging or stealing cars like so many musicians do today.
No young people are sitting in jail because Prussian Blue told them that it would be cool if they went out and stole a car or held up a convenience store.

Where are they strangely hateful other than on some biased news show that distorts their view points?
If you want to write mean spirited fictitious storys about two young girls who have done absolutly nothing to you and whom you know absolutly nothing about, then you should be aware of the company you keep.
Do a google search for "End of a black world" and meet your peers.
You should fit right in with them.

Borgy,

The lyrics to their tribute to a one of Hitler's inner circle is up on their website for all to see.

If worshipping nazis is self-love, then you are welcome to it. See you at Ragnarok.

The tribute was too Rudolf Hess, the man who disobeyed Hitler and tried to stop WW2.
His story was even featured on the history channel.
It's funny how people can judge Prussian Blue because they wrote a song about his efforts to prevent a world war, yet these same people worship Che Guevera and Mao.
Mao murdered an estimated eighty million people and Che formed Cuba's death camps and over saw the executions of thousands of innocent people.
Prussian Blue wrote a song about a man who risked his freedom to stop world war 2 and they have been attacked endlessly by people who listen to music that glorifys drugs, crime, satanism and who refer to women as "bitches" and "ho's."

Why doesn't anyone speak out when neo-marxists read Mao's little red book on college campuses in their attempt to re-kindle communism?
With all the hate and racial turmoil going on in the world today, why does the media single out two young girls who sing songs about pride and respect for ones own culture, race and heritage?

How many times have you rehearsed this speech, Borgy?

Do you lay awake nights counting all the atrocities that others did that are worse than what the Nazis did?

Does it help you feel better about the tickling of your concience deep down inside?

This was about Rudolf Hess, not the atrocitys that the Nazi's commited.
But since you want to go there, what atrocitys would you like to discuss?
The gas chambers, the showers, the microwave death chambers, the vacuum chambers, the enormous under ground electricution chambers, the flaming pits, the instant vaporisation of 25,000 jews with atomic energy?
Take you pick Teresa, the jews accused the Germans of all of those things at Nuremburg.
They swore up and down that they had witnessed them.
Would you like to know why they dropped all the other storys and stuck with the gas chamber storys, or are you afraid that the truth would come at you like a blood stained hurricane?

Oh what the hell, do them all. Throw them up here for everyone to see.

All the hair-brained conspiracy theories you want.

Let it all hang out Borgy.

Let everyone decide for themselves. If you get too sick and twisted, I'll just delete it, but otherwise, go ahead and get your paranoid on, baby.

In case you haven't noticed, this isn't a "discussion", because I've already heard it all already. Anybody else here tired of revisiting old ideas they threw out when they were kids? Anyone want to re-live the rantings of the crazy church-lady or old uncle Joe who, or the stuff the weird kid down the block who liked to torture dogs used to say?

Bored Now.

Oh and in case your wondering, yes, that WAS sarcasm.

You don't get to actually have a venue here for your lunacy.
