Barnscar (Fieldnotes by festyboy) (Dec 11 2003 15:54 GMT) - High on the Cumbrian fells, above Devoke Water and overlooking Birkby Fell is an amazing, but largely undiscovered landmark known as the 'City of Barnscar'. There is a long avenue of paired stones, culminating in a settlement consisting of over 400 cairns, hut circles and enclosures. Although originally thought to be a ruined Viking village, it is now thought to be of Bronze Age in date. The settlement appears to have been a long street, with several cross ones.

Thank God The New York Post Doesn't Rate Movies (Dec 11 2003 15:54 GMT) - Spotted on Dean's World: There was an article in the New York Post about some comedians' performances at a Howard Dean fundraiser.

In the men's section you will find a new Hawaii shirt design. But the girls section is packed with new stuff! There are new masks, a great looking bondage dress, a sexy "flamingoo-style" skirt, naughty cheerleader outfit (perfect for Sway), various tops and blouses and a lot of other new things.I wonder what Marquis got in store for us next year. |

Una frase in rosso (Dec 11 2003 15:53 GMT) - E' talmente bello questo post di Dan Gillmour (in particolare per questa frase in rosso) che lo metto qui integralmente: In retrospect, Al Gore's endorsement of Howard Dean for president seems almost inevitable. Re-read Gore's major public addresses from the past year or so (examples here, here, here). |

Vaginal Blood Fart: Home Alone (Pictures) (Dec 11 2003 15:52 GMT) - I don't agree with how celebs and $$$ people get it a little easier. Their cases are longer, knowbody wants to get the cold hard fact out right away, but rather play it out like a soap on the news. I don't even know if hes guitly or not, I don't pay attention to it. I know I hate injustice and bullshit! If hes raping kids, throw him in the hole! |
