Spore Creature Creator: Flying Spaghetti Monster

XiomaraO says...

Human’s mind really is very creative that can even believe in unusual things. The story began with a July 23, 2008 article in a local newspaper, The Independent. Jenna Hewitt, 26, of Montauk, and three friends said they found the creature on July 12 at the Ditch Plains beach, two miles east of the district. The beach is a popular surfing spot at Rheinstein Estate Park owned by the town of East Hampton. And now, the Montauk Monster is starting to make headlines. If you haven't heard about it, don't worry, but the Montauk Monster is a carcass that appeared on the beach of Long Island, New York. It defies classification, as it looks like no animal known to science, and a lot of people would give installment loans to figure out what it is. It washed up not too far away from Plum Island, AKA Anthrax Island, an uninhabited isle home to the Plum Island Animal Disease Center, a known animal testing facility. The corpse is thought to be a hoax, but some insist its real, or Amy Winehouse sunbathing. Still, many would pull out credit cards to unravel the Montauk Monster mystery.

lou reed called it "the statue of bigotry"

choggie says...

Yeah, and right and left are constructs as well-
All for bringing Mexico to the U.S. in, exempt from law amnesty-a brilliant move, inspired by those who would use it to their advantage-

Plus, reaaaaly like the idea of bringing a massive group of folks from a corrupt, state-controlled country, whose leaders carry-on in a retrograde fashion, and about 100 or more years behind in sensibilities-Their peoples for the most part, unwilling to assimilate and become, American-whatever it is one thinks that means-
A silent attack most Americans are unwilling to cop to-even the legally naturalized Mexicans, now Americans-


they are not tired and poor or huddled.....they are our neighbors to the south, who need a government worth embracing, instead of a Country to walk to, and Mexicanize.....Oh, wait, we need a government worth embracing too...might think about going to Mexico, but need the ability to own land once there...oh, forgot, the state does not allow that....Viva la Raza, motherfuckers.....

Oh yeah, living in the Hamptons can fuck someone up, just as bad as a bottle of Dewars.

Rip Torn and Norman Mailer Fight

maudlin says...

It sounds as if the entire Maidstone project (directed by Mailer) was either the greatest clusterfuck ever, a put-on, or both.

"In the summer of 1968, the elegant resort town of East Hampton, NY witnessed a bizarre invasion of the celebrities and unknowns, professional actors and amateurs, assembled by Norman Mailer to make a movie in which he would be both director and star. ...

Outraged by the way Mailer had tricked everyone into thinking a film of novel significance was in the offing, Torn refused to accept the ending of MAIDSTONE and attacked Mailer during the filming of him with his family the day after the director had declared the movie over. Charging Mailer in an open field, Torn hit him three times with the flat side of a hammer, pulling his blows but doing enough damage to draw blood. Four of Mailer's children -- Dandy, Betsy, Michael, and Stephen -- were terrified, screaming after Torn's assault on their father.

Mailer was furious. Calling Torn a "crazy fool cocksucker", Mailer wrestled him to the ground, biting & nearly tearing off Torn's ear. Calling Mailer "brother" and insisting the film would make no sense without the assassination attempt, Torn traded insults with Mailer and yet kept reminding him that this was the story Mailer had planned, that Mailer had even seen him coming with the hammer and had not tried to get away.

When Mailer would not acknowledge the justice of Torn's words, Torn called him a "fraud", a charge Mailer later had to countenance, for in the editing room he found that he did not have a movie without the dramatic explosion, the assault not only on Norman T. Kingsley but on Norman Mailer, the half-sincere, half-bogus filmmaker and politician who had to be called to account by a real actor who took his role seriously, as though he were, in Mailer's words, his "true brother". The psychological reality of MAIDSTONE was the actors' expectation that Mailer would be attacked, and so Torn "attacked out of all the plots of other actors" and became, Mailer realized, "the presence of the film, the psychological reality that became a literal reality out of the pressure of all the ones which did not."

Bloc Party Music Video - Banquet

Farhad2000 says...

Great homemade video, really impressed

I love the song too! I love getting exposed to new stuff, and the sift has been responsible for alot of new artists gaining my attention - Busdriver, Current 93, Happy Rhodes and many others... I just wish AudioGalaxy was still around...

And I have to add that it's refreshing to see someone who is real and not a pasty-depressed-suicidal-angst-ridden-Hamptons -teenager... You know who you are...
