Random Buckshot Edition Howdy, Minions! I haven't posted anything in quite some time, so I may start to ramble. I'm just going to throw out several blurbs that I've been playing with over at BookFace, and thought some of you may enjoy here. Item 1) I'm taking a couple classic monsters off the table. They will no longer qualify for their own, separate monster grouping. Mummies are the first to feel the axe. They aren't a unique branch of monsters. They're simply zombies with quality linen instead of jeans and T-shirts. They're still simply dead folks who have come back to life and want to kill and eat other humans. That's a zombie.... stop pretending you're something special. I'm also taking Frankenstein's Monster off the table. That's simply a person who got some spare parts and was brought back to life. How would you like to go in for a heart transplant, die on the operating table and get resusitated, and then get chased around by pitchfork and torch bearing neighbors simply because of those conditions? It wouldn't be fun. You wouldn't like being called a monster, and Frankenstein's guy was no different. Item 2) Along with some monsters, I'm also taking some "races" off the table. If this annoying George Zimmerman trial has taught me anything, it's taught me that people think hispanic is a race. Not that there are truly different "races" of humans, but even when scientists broke people down into catagories to differentiate us, there were only 4 groups. We had our astraloids, caucasoids, negroids, and mongoloids. Hispanics did and do fall within the caucasoid grouping, making them "white" for lack of a better term. Most "races" that people seem to believe exist are nothing more than places. Puerto Rican for an example. It's not a race, it's a designation stating where you're from. The people who live there are more often than not of hispanic decent, making them also caucasoid.... or white. They may be a slightly darker shade of white than me, but still "white". Item 3) Has anybody else seen the commercials where we're told that police officers are trained to spot seatbelt violations, even at night? Really? They're trained for this? There's like a class or something? That must be the shortest, most boring class in history, and I've sat through plenty of useless General Military Training (GMTs). I can picture it going something like this. Instructor: "Do you see this picture of a man in a car?" Officer: "Yes" Instructor: "Does he appear to be wearing a seatbelt?" Officer: "No" Instructor: "See this picture of another person?" Officer: "Yes" Instructor: "Doesn't it look as if the seatbelt is simply crammed into the crook of their arm, and not actually being worn properly?" Officer: "Yup" Instructor: "You pass. Go write tickets." OK.... I'm done for now. BEAST OUT |

okay totally backing the mummy thing. the Frankenstein monster shouldn't have been considered a monster. I am more interested in what you do the multitude of vampires that have crept up on us while we weren't looking.
