Another Texas sifter! Im actually less than an hour from the festival myself and I hardly ever go but always plan a trip in my head. You think there would be a lot of dirt about the eccentric owner on the web who fancies himself king of the area and supposedly he lives in a castle. I don't know how much of that is hearsay but eh whatev.


You should make it out there this year. It is a must see/do experience. Over 50 acres of things to do and see. Live jousting, music, magic, animal shows (the falcon show is awesome), things for kids, lots of beer and cleavage, great fair food (smoked turkey legs are a must), even live blacksmithing and glassblowing. There are a lot of people dressed up in period garb and everyone is generally pleasant. It can get crowded and if there is any rain there is mud galore, but it really is a trip back in time.

You may even catch a medieval wedding in the old chapel or the royal procession making its way through the streets, fake king and queen with a full court in tow.

My wife got "abducted" by barbarians one year. They just grabbed her and threw her over their shoulder. I had to "fight" a big, shirtless barbarian with two-handed swords to get her back. Random, but very fun.

coin operated boy
sitting on the shelf he is just a toy
but i turn him on and he comes to life
automatic joy
that is why i want a coin operated boy

made of plastic and elastic
he is rugged and long-lasting
who could ever ever ask for more
love without complications galore

coin operated boy
all the other real ones that i destroy
cannot hold a candle to my new boy and i'll
never let him go and i'll never be alone
not with my coin operated boy......

this bridge was written to make you feel smittener
with my sad picture of girl getting bitterer
can you extract me from my plastic fantasy
i didnt think so but im still convinceable
will you persist even after i kiss you
goodbye for the last time
will you keep on trying to prove it?
i'm dying to lose it...
i want it
i want you
i want a coin operated boy.

and if i had a star to wish on
for my life i cant imagine
any flesh and blood could be his match
i can even take him in the bath

coin operated boy
he may not be real experienced with girls
but i know he feels like a boy should feel
isnt that the point that is why i want a
coin operated boy
with his pretty coin operated voice
saying that he loves me that hes thinking of me
straight and to the point
that is why i want
a coin operated boy.

I think more people go through glass windows in the movies every year than in real life. Seriously. I don't scour the news every day for defenestration stories, but they have to be pretty rare events. If someone goes through a window it seems like it's mostly to escape a fire or run away from something, and in those cases they almost always open the window first. Despite how it's portrayed in the movies, most everyone knows that broken glass = cuts galore.

Have you seen Jasmine? Hell, Ariel ? It's barely a bikini. Bewbs galore.
Ariel was actually naked from the waist down!


Donald Duck never wore pants!

Ariel was actually naked from the waist down!

Is she any more or less 'scantily clad' than any Disney princess (which was the point of the outfit) ?

End of the day: kids don't notice/care. They like Elmo and a catchy tune. period.

What an absolute bunch of horse-crap. If your reasoning sounds like an haiku, it is probably made for the stage. If it is made for the stage you are playing with words. If you are playing with words and you mean to educate, ... ah well, you can probably suspect the value of your reasoning.
We are officially entering the ether of ideological comparison. Go ahead guys. You know how well this has worked out in the past.
I'd feel a lot better if I didn't have the suspicion that this guy got his patriotic hard-on during that video.


Are you talking to me, or talking to him...and furthermore, what are you even saying! I require specificity. Are you saying the Quran doesn't state those things? Are you saying he is taking them out of context? Just saying something doesn't make it so, you must plead the case. The whole point of this thread was to avoid group thing dynamics where you just state things carte blanche to resonate with your fellow minded friends and to engage with the core issue with specific, and perhaps, personal examples. For example:

@GeeSussFreeK-Symbols are used, not unlike roughy remarked, by evil fuckers who know how to use them-similar to product placement in cinema. See a symbol enough times then whatever value placed upon it by the bulk of society, becomes the acceptable shit-think.
Symbols contain both intrinsic and adventitious meanings and when used effectively they can convince or otherwise influence the most moral souls to commit unspeakable inhumanities.
To the more enlightened of the planet who take the time to use their computers to explore the history of the place rather than looking at cartoon characters through scopes or hundreds of pairs of tits or listening to National Public Radio, well, it's grammar school time.


At heart, I am an anti-establishment, non-traditionalist, don't-tell-me-what-to-do type of person. So, when I hear rhetoric about the "man", and zombie mind control, I usually bite hard. When I first read this, I was like "right on, fight the power", but then I started to examine the core of the argument, and look into personal examples and found it held less water.

Symbols only matter when you care. A symbol for you doesn't really work for me at times. For example; I still have my tattered, unusable bible, my lego collection that I never use, books galore, star wars figurines, ect. They all have very little rational value. The raw materials couldn't fetch much of anything on any market. But they all have real, deep, and meaningful value to me. Symbolism is a deep part of my life and I didn't even realize it, and in fact would of said I am very iconoclast if I was asked.

It isn't for a lack of enlightenment or reason, I would say I have a slight deal more of that than the average man (not much though), but what I value naturally reflects itself in how I deal with objects of my fixations. I don't care for churches persay, so making one of blowing one up is silly to even care about, but if you grabbed 30 of the worlds fastest graphics processors and melted them down right in front of me, I would be disturbed. Of if you grabbed my legos which I don't use and burned them, the depths of my sadness would be hard to measure. Or to abstract it away to a level of symbolism, if people that made those items went out of business, I care (RIP BFG video cards).

Far be it a stretch of the imagination that people would use symbolism under false pretense to manipulate people, I am sure it is done all the time. But that only strengthens the argument that the mosque could potentially be built under false pretense inasmuch as the people who are offended by it. Everyone here could be guilty of some hidden, secret agenda, who is to say? I just wanted to point out that people getting upset about something that isn't a direct offense but a symbolic one aren't very different from you or me; they just care about a different set of things.

There were three people pulled from the crowd on Sunday, due to warrants they had from Saturday. The girl in particular was wanted on Arson and endangering the public. Also plain clothes cops have special rules in TO, they have to wear an armband that says they're a cop, unless they have a special court order saying they can go undercover. You can see the arm bands galore from the queens park protests.


There methods are flawed. If you can see by the backlash against them in comments. They should not resort to these sorts of snatch and grabs. Warrants or not. Some of you will say, "Well how else would they have gotten them?"

That's easy. Everyone has to sleep.

wow, Mr. Fisk. cow bells galore

Bwaat?
you.. you mean.. the police were actually doing something like getting a woman who had a warrent for her arrest but was trying to hide in a place with peaceful protesters so she wouldn't get caught?
And they weren't just kidnapping for the sake of fearmongering? they had a reason? and the people of the sift are yet again going to take this out of context and we'll soon see another batch of "Fuck the police" comments even though this has been explained?
Well, i'll be damned then.


Well said, Shep. Watching people get shoved into vans that then sped off tugged at my ragestrings. Any links would be appreciated.
