shanmonster | Poetry of the Forgetful Soul

In the moments before sleep last night I was filled with profound lines of poetry. However, upon waking up, these words have fled me. Dang.

If I can't share these words with you, at the very least, I can share something else:

Here is a chapter from the story of an unfortunately-tattooed girl. Amanda Rudder was in trouble for underage drinking (and possibly bad taste in skin art). But after I did a bit of poking around online, I discovered she is also possibly a possible kidnapping victim from four years ago (scroll down until you find her name). Now, I tried writing to the email address to send the Smoking Gun link to the people trying to locate her, but the email bounced. Who do you suppose the information could be sent to, instead?

Greek Orthodox, Priests Brawl at Basilica: I think this would make a splendid moment in a movie.

Man Accused of Trying To Attack Men with Chainsaw: "'I was scared,' Kung said. "I'm not going lie. Anyone who says they weren't scared getting chased with a chainsaw is a lie' (sic)." There's no word on whether or not religious figures were involved.

Whale discovered impaled on bow of cruise ship: Sounds like a hell of a figurehead.

Ok, now for some cheerier, or at least less gory, links:

Pongmechanik: A faithful reproduction of the 1972 classic game. The site comes complete with a video which goes into far more detail than I'm interested in, but you might like it if you're into electronics.

Dogs sniff out bladder cancer from urine: The mournful expression in the eyes of the dog say, "And you thought YOUR job sucked!"

The brothel creeper: The writer seems to have a few issues concerning women (pun intended!), and is an expert when it comes to prostitution (thanks, Rev. Dead Corpse).

Funnel Hood: What happens when elephant furries get involved with kinky dress-up (safe for work in that there's no nudity or sex, but people may still look at you funny).

Hangar Suds: That's a lot of soap.

The Borg of Heaven: Forget harps, haloes, and hosannas. Heaven is a scary, scary place. If you're one of the 144,000 who makes it there, you will be assimilated.

It's Fun for a Girl and a Boy: Be on the lookout for an Indiana Jones-style movie featuring a giant Slinky.

The Light of the World: Did you know Jack Chick makes more than just tracts? He made a movie, too. You can watch its straight and narrow-minded opinions online in a few video clips. As usual, there are plenty of digs at the Pope.

The Madonna Inn features 109 unique rooms with very kitschy looks. I think Propeller Island City did something much more interesting with their forty-five suites.

And now for a bizarre Victorian postcard:
