Let's assume this is information that's just come to light from the past, probably during the Third Reich. If Hitler, for whatever reason, had actually done this deed, there are really only two ways it could have happened, both of them involving earth-shattering revelations. 1) Hitler traveled back in time. Meaning that the Nazis had developed a time machine, and that technology has been dormant-- or worse, in clandestine use-- for more than half a century! 2) Hitler performed the act on a positively-identified corpse.

Well, there is a third option. The Bible could be correct about the resurrection and ascension of Mr. Christ. If this were so, the post-dead Jesus body could still be alive in "heaven," and could have conceivably returned to Earth during Adolf's lifetime and at this point could have been violated by Mr. Hitler.

Agreed. And check out semi- side project Sin Ropas as well. I've always thought MC 900 Ft. Jesus was a great name, although not a band.

I haven't really thought much about Gwyneth Paltrow one way or the other, but I did have a dream a few months ago in which she and I were dating. Nothing risque, just hanging out and such. I'm not sure from where exactly in the deep dark recesses of my subconscious my psyche pulled that out. >Exactly.

You guys are all missing the obvious: "Jesus rapes Hitler" is an anagram for "just repeals heirs." Yet Jesus is the "heir" of God, but the statement claims this repealing of heirs is just. Furthermore, elementary application of the Bible Code - good god, how could Kansan overlook the Bible Code? - demonstrates that the original message contains the hidden message UPI Jr. - that is, an upstart press syndicate. Finally, the anagram-rearranged version (using the BC w/a dif modulo) yields the message U R A HSP. Eliminating the vowels from the original message and reading from right to left, as in Hebrew, gives us RLTHSPRSSJ. If "yoU aRe A HSP," then eliminating the sequence HSP (which, of course, occurs consecutively), which gives us RLT RSS J, tells us what everyone else is - or, trismagisterially, should be or do (Note the theme song to "Scooby Do" here! More on this later...). So, everyone else is RLT RSS J and is using an upstart press syndicate to claim to overthrow Jesus. So we take the vowels from the anagrammatized message and interpolate them into this (a la "JHVH + vowels from Adonai = Jehovah") and get Rule Rease Is J. Allowing for a one-time vowel substitution, it's plain to see the real intent of this message: Reese (Witherspoon) Is J(esus). And this is "just" because, of course, if Reese *is* Jesus, then it's only on the quotidian plain of deception that Jesus is "repealed." And the "upstart media"? The movies, of course! This is why we've been putting down all actors and actresses recently...with the conspicuous exception of Reese Witherspoon! All hail our new goddess. Ooh - is that jello? I *like* jello!

Axis of Evil members, however, immediately dismissed the new axis as having, for starters, a really dumb name. "Right. They are Just as Evil...in their dreams!" declared North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. "Everybody knows we're the best evils... best at being evil...we're the best." Diplomats from Syria denied they were jealous over being excluded, although they conceded they did ask if they could join the Axis of Evil. "They told us it was full," said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. "An Axis can't have more than three countries," explained Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. "This is not my rule, it's tradition. In World War II you had Germany, Italy, and Japan in the evil Axis. So, you can only have three, and a secret handshake. Ours is wickedly cool." International reaction to Bush's Axis of Evil declaration was swift, as within minutes, France surrendered. Elsewhere, peer-conscious nations rushed to gain triumvirate status in what became a game of geopolitical chairs. Cuba, Sudan, and Serbia said they had formed the "Axis of Somewhat Evil," forcing Somalia to join with Uganda and Myanmar in the "Axis of Occasionally Evil," while Bulgaria, Indonesia and Russia established the "Axis of Not So Much Evil Really As Just Generally Disagreeable." With the criteria suddenly expanded and all the desirable clubs filling up...Sierra Leone, El Salvador, and Rwanda applied to be called the "Axis of Countries That Aren't the Worst But Certainly Won't Be Asked to Host the Olympics." Canada, Mexico, and Australia formed the "Axis of Nations That Are Actually Quite Nice But Secretly Have Some Nasty Thoughts About America," while Scotland, New Zealand and Spain established the "Axis of Countries That Be Allowed to Ask Sheep to Wear Lipstick." "That's not a threat, really, just something we like to do," said Scottish Executive First Minister Jack McConnell. While wondering if the other nations of the world weren't perhaps making fun of him, a cautious Bush granted approval for most axis, although he rejected the establishment of the Axis of Countries Whose Names End in "Guay," accusing one of its members of filing a false application. Officials from Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chadguay denied the charges. Israel, meanwhile, insisted it didn't want to join any Axis, but privately, leaders said that's only because no one asked them. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2003 16:37:09 -0500 (EST) From: Aaron Mandel Subject: Re: Evil On Tue, 1 Apr 2003, Eb wrote: > Axis of Evil Wannabes > by John Cleese That's been making the rounds for a few months now and wasn't written by John Cleese -- see http://www.satirewire.com/news/jan02/axis.shtml. a ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2003 13:38:33 -0800 From: Eb Subject: Re: Evil >On Tue, 1 Apr 2003, Eb wrote: > >> Axis of Evil Wannabes >> by John Cleese > >That's been making the rounds for a few months now and wasn't written by >John Cleese -- see http://www.satirewire.com/news/jan02/axis.shtml.

Here's an angle I guess the music industry didn't see coming. I was looking for something from Stiff Little Fingers recently (which I only have on vinyl) and found a song from SLF I didn't recognize in either Acquisition or Limewire, so I downloaded it. It ended up obviously not being SLF, but I loved the song. Did a little search and found out it was The Stiffs. Now I want to get an album of theirs. So there you go.

So I'm listening to a Robert Fripp and The League of Crafty Guitarists album I downloaded (please don't tell him; I don't want him to jump off stage during a King Crimson show in Japan and come to Texas and beat me up with a metronome or something), and I go sniffing around the web for King Crimson info. I read info about their current drummer, Pat Mastelotto, and his bio says he worked with Robyn Hitchcock. Huh? That's news to me. . Yahoo!

Thats right, with their big nasty teeth. Note this foody bit from the NYT. "The cooking at this hotel aims for the haute rather than the hearty, with dishes like potted quail with Carpentras truffles, stuffed rabbit with a subtle thyme sauce, and a heady sorbet of marc de Chbteauneuf-du-Pape, the eau-de-vie made of local grapes." Sounds delicious, but not anywhere for a Quail, or a White Rabbit either, to hang out. Gardens are better. - ----------------- The below is making the rounds on the Net but I havent seen it posted here: wwwminimumeffort.com/nutshell.html - --------------- I have loved the rifting on Jesus/Hitler(the worst band name so far?) so pretty please, can I try too... Hmm, Jesus is eternal, Hitler was temporal. Hitler died. And when Hitler died he then belonged to God, the cosmic orgasm. First Jesus made love to Hitler on the first level of Purgitory till Hitler cried out in exctesy "I renounce pride, hybris and arrogance--, who needs them compared to this." So it continued up each of the 7 steps of the mountain, with Hitler renouncingh each of the 7 sins in greater and greater bliss. At the top of the mountain Hitler said--"Jesus, what can Heaven be like if Purgotory is like this? And Jesus answered." You will nor know for at least a bit longer, Adolf baby, cause you first must remember and repent for the people you fucked over in life. Till then you will be stuck here, in the this earthly paradise, listening to the noises, and they are a loud, all your former victims make as I please them in heaven. Ill pop in from time to time, of course, Im not cruel, and give you your sweet jollies. But think of this, Addy, I only used my two hands, one mouth and one cock on you. On them in heaven, all those people you destroyed who are there before you, I use EVERYTHING. - ---------------------------------------------------- > > I was doing some gardening research and thought a few of you might enjoy > > this: > > http://www.qbgardens.com/ > >But where were the QUAILS?
