Tubular

Those who called my proposal to put oldies in lava tubes cruel will have to reconsider now that there is a hotel which puts trendy travelers in concrete tubes. I’m reconsidering as well - I now think lava tubes might be too luxurious an accommodation.

    The irony of reposing in a sewer pipe and yet there is nowhere to take a crap.

    The engineer Brunel arranged to put horses in a tube. The horses never made it, but there was an organ, some Egyptian necromancers, and some dancing monkeys. Now it's just part of the Tube.

    They fail to take advantage of the architectural possibilities of a u-bend section of piping. Typical unimaginative Germans.

      Things that are, or eventually will be, trendy hotel accommodations: tubes, u-bend piping, shipping containers, some old barrels, a found refrigerator box, Saddam's spider hole, my nephew's couch fort.

      I'm far more interested in the "temporary cathedral" made of cardboard tubes. Like, what's going to happen when it rains?

      I beg your pardon: unimaginative Germans.

      The narration cracks me up: "A nook and cranny place, higgledy piggledy with history".

      It's also higgledy piggledy with demonic forces, necromancers, and strange creatures.

More Brief Reviews of Movies I haven’t Seen

Brokeback Mountain: A love affair between a pair of homosexualist cowboys ends tragically when one is killed by a horse . The actors playing the leads are (supposedly) straight. Includes graphic sex scenes. If you are into this sort of thing stay home and rent the spaghetti western Django Kill...If You Live, Shoot! instead, it's a weird and entertaining film that includes an honest depiction of homosexualist cowboys - an entire gang of them. Memoirs of a Geisha: A trio of Chinese honeys infiltrates Japan by disguising themselves as whores. The potential of the premise squandered, as unlike the homosexualist cowboy film Memoirs of a Geisha is only PG-13. The Producers: A pair of real life homosexualists (Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane) portray heterosexual Broadway musical impresarios. Notice the pattern. Do you understand 'Hollywood logic' works now? King Kong: I’ve decided the old-style stop-motion animation is better than tedious modern CGI effects. The latter mechanical...

Misc. Hate

A Mustiphino has been spotted wandering the halls of Congress. The deranged babblings of an SPLC apparatchik inspired me to coin the word hatefact . Hatefacts are unquestionable facts about immigrants , blacks , women , homosexualists , et al., that the SPLC and those sharing its ideological inclinations deem “hate” or “hateful” to mention. UPDATE: It seems I unwittingly stole the idea for the word hatefact from Peter Brimelow, who used the term “hate facts” in a speech last November .
