an apparently German LFB:
But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
Full of the heavens and time.

this was pretty much my response when I first heard about Runes:
yup, that's right. I turned into a dog, made that exact face, and then mysteriously transformed back. I wondered if the whole thing had simply been a dream, but then I noticed the white gold ring in the palm of my hand...

The Truth About Chuck Norris
Probably some of the funneist stuff ever.
here's some highlights:
-Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.
-Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
-Chuck Norris does not hunt because the word hunting infers the probability of failure. Chuck Norris goes killing.
-Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs
-If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can't see Chuck Norris you may be only seconds away from death.
-The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.
-To prove it isn't that big of a deal to beat cancer. Chuck Norris smoked 15 cartons of cigarettes a day for 2 years and aquired 7 different kinds of cancer only to rid them from his body by flexing for 30 minutes. Beat that, Lance Armstrong.
-Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.
-Chuck Norris built a time machine and went back in time to stop the JFK assassination. As Oswald shot, Chuck met all three bullets with his beard, deflecting them. JFK's head exploded out of sheer amazement.
-A blind man once stepped on Chuck Norris' shoe. Chuck replied, "Don't you know who I am? I'm Chuck Norris!" The mere mention of his name cured this man blindness. Sadly the first, last, and only thing this man ever saw, was a fatal roundhouse delivered by Chuck Norris.
-When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.
-When Chuck Norris sends in his taxes, he sends blank forms and includes only a picture of himself, crouched and ready to attack. Chuck Norris has not had to pay taxes ever.
-Chuck Norris counted to infinity - twice.
-Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.
-Chuck Norris sleeps with a night light. Not because Chuck Norris is afraid of the dark, but the dark is afraid of Chuck Norris
-Chuck Norris is not hung like a horse... horses are hung like Chuck Norris

*shudder* If anybody makes an avatar of one of these pics, I will ban them. This is almost worse than the Ted Danson phase a certain someone went through...

Ala. Governor's Race Is Must-See Politics
Published: 12/26/05, 6:25 PM EDT
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The cast: A Republican incumbent who alienated his base with a proposal to raise taxes. A chief justice who lost his job over his Ten Commandments stand. A former governor under indictment. A lieutenant governor who helped her ex-husband run for governor.
The show: Alabama's gubernatorial primaries of 2006.
In a state where George C. Wallace and James E. "Big Jim" Folsom made races for governor a must-watch event on the political stage, the current campaigns may be every bit as memorable.
On the Republican side, ousted Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, the Ten Commandments crusader, is challenging Gov. Bob Riley, who is trying to rally his business backers after a failed $1.2 billion tax plan his first year in office.
"It will be a classic clash between the church factor of the Republican Party and the business factor of the Republican Party," said Jess Brown, a political scientist at Athens State University.
On the Democratic side, the featured players are indicted former Gov. Don Siegelman and Lt. Gov. Lucy Baxley, who is trying to become Alabama's second female governor and the first elected in her own right.
"She has the potential to siphon off some women who traditionally vote Republican," said Charles Bullock, an expert in Southern politics at the University of Georgia.
Riley, 61, is trying to reverse a recent trend by Alabama voters, who have defeated incumbent governors in 1994, 1998 and 2002.
He barely edged Siegelman in 2002 and took office when state government was facing its biggest budget deficit since the Depression. Then he angered many in his GOP base by proposing the biggest tax increase in state history, which voters rejected 2-to-1.
But Riley has slowly rebuilt his standing as the economy rebounded, and he appeared authoritative and organized in response to Hurricane Katrina.
"He recovered and showed himself a leader, particularly during Katrina," said Byrdie Larkin, a political scientist at Alabama State University.
Moore, 58, will take a solid base into the Republican primary on June 6.
"He's a rock star of the Christian right," said David Lanoue, chairman of the political science department at the University of Alabama.
Moore's challenge, Lanoue said, is to show that he is not a one-issue candidate - not just the chief justice expelled in 2003 for refusing to obey a federal court order to move his Ten Commandments monument. He is trying to do that by attacking Riley's failed tax increase, proposing new penalties for businesses that employ illegal aliens, and advocating term limits for legislators.
"The big check writers and the country club Republicans are not going to vote for him, but the Wal-Mart Republicans will," said Len Gavin, a Moore supporter and former state GOP executive director,
On the Democratic side, Siegelman, 59, is campaigning while battling a federal indictment accusing him of racketeering and conspiracy, including soliciting $1 million in cash and gifts in return for official actions. He is concerned he will not get a trial date allowing him to clear his name before the June 6 primaries.
"I'm not worried about the charges, but I am concerned about the timing," he said.
Larkin said it will be difficult for Siegelman to build a winning coalition unless he is cleared before the vote.
"The interest groups are not going to throw their support to a candidate who has hurdles to overcome," she said.
Baxley, 68, is seeking to be the first woman elected governor of Alabama since Lurleen Wallace won in 1966 as a stand-in for her husband, George Wallace. She has name recognition partly because her ex-husband, Bill Baxley, was attorney general and lieutenant governor and made unsuccessful runs for governor in 1978 and 1986. They divorced after the 1986 race and she began her own political career, winning two terms as state treasurer, then getting elected lieutenant governor in 2002, each time covering the state with red bumper stickers proclaiming "I Love Lucy."
Her offices, however, have been primarily procedural, rather than policy-making.
"If you ask Alabama voters what Lucy Baxley stands for, you'd have a hard time getting a substantive answer," Lanoue said. "She's going to have to create a definition for herself before her opponents do it for her."

I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and bright!
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me tonight.
I feel charming,
Oh, so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real.
See the pretty girl in that mirror there:
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face,
Such a pretty dress,
Such a pretty smile,
Such a pretty me!
I feel stunning
And entrancing,
Feel like running and dancing for joy,
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!

Let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm
That will not forsake me, till my tale is told and done
While the fire lights aglow, strange shadows from the flames will grow
Till things we've never seen will seem familiar
Shadows of a sailor forming winds both foul and fair, all swarm
Down in Carlisle he loved a lady many years ago
Here beside him stands a man, a soldier by the looks of him,
Who came through many fights, but lost at love
While the story teller speaks, a door within the fire creaks,
Suddenly flies open, and a girl is standing there
Eyes alight, with glowing hair, all that fancy paints as fair
She takes her fan and throws it in the lion's den
Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell?
I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance
The sailor gave at least a try; the soldier, being much too wise,
Strategy was his strength, and not disaster
The sailor, coming out again, the lady fairly leapt at him
That's how it stands today. You decide if he was wise
The story teller makes no choice, soon you will not hear his voice
His job is to shed light, and not to master
Since the end is never told we paid the teller off in gold
In hopes he will come back, but he cannot be bought or sold
That will not forsake me, till my tale is told and done
While the fire lights aglow, strange shadows from the flames will grow
Till things we've never seen will seem familiar
Shadows of a sailor forming winds both foul and fair, all swarm
Down in Carlisle he loved a lady many years ago
Here beside him stands a man, a soldier by the looks of him,
Who came through many fights, but lost at love
While the story teller speaks, a door within the fire creaks,

Raise the drinking horn again
Let laughter fill the hall
The storyteller has returned
from other ports of call
He seems to be a younger man
than when he went away-
though you and I, my own true love,
have lived to show our day
Still you seem a stranger
in the flesh of someone dear
While the storyteller speaks
I feel your darkness stir
I see the shadows on the wall
take color, depth and form
I see a lion's den await
three riders in the storm
I see you fall upon the ground
for space of half an hour
Then I see you rise again
cloaked in earthly power
I see myself approach the den
to work your fateful will
Terrapin shines in the west
The anxious wind grows still
Did I make the proper choice?
The storyteller winks
Even though I hear his voice
I can't tell what he thinks
Hand in hand we leave the fire
the storytelling done;
pinch the candle and retire
tonight our dreams are one
Counting stars by candlelight
all are dim but one is bright:
the spiral light of Venus
rising first and shining best
from the northwest corner
of a brand new crescent moon
while crickets and cicadas sing
a rare and different tune
Terrapin Station
