...just an aside.
I discovered the statistics page for Blogger which, among other things, shows the sites that have referred visitors to my Blog. One was ARRSE.
WTF?
So I had to follow the link.
Turns out that ARRSE is a loose acronym for the British Army Rumour Service who claim,
“The aim of ARRSE (in so far that it has one) is to provide a useful(ish), informative and amusing site for people with an interest in the British Army. Contrary to duty rumour we are not promoting the overthrow of HMG, nor do we exist to toe the party line.”
Very laudable, on all counts.
Hippo on the lawn was cited, sadly inaccurately, as a good place to go for those interested in living in Namibia. Missed me by a whole country but I am glad I found ARRSE, some of the posts are hilarious. How about the way a certain ‘Jim30’ signs off:
“If all cultures are equal, why doesn’t UNESCO organize International Cannibalism Week festivals?”
Why not indeed? I am still giggling like a school girl hours after reading it.
Naturally, UNESCO should schedule this event the week after the Sharia Law festival of chopping off the hands of thieves, the stoning of wives guilty of infidelity (those who haven't already had acid poured into their faces since, as a marinade, it leaves a lot to be desired) and the honour killing of various victims, usually of the tastier, I mean tenderer, female variety, to save costs for the free snacks for visiting dignitaries. If all of us economised so sensibly, perhaps the US would not have lost its triple A rating and now be having to consider how many Police Actions abroad it can afford.
But at least Saudi Arabia could legitimately guarantee the food as ‘Free Range’ thereby keeping the Yoghurt Knitters happy.
Gosh. This is my 100th post. Note to self, 'Get a Proper Job'.
Nice! I'm especially fond of the Namibia reference. And I can't wait to eat the finger foods!
ReplyDeleteSocial relativism is a fun concept, ain't it? We've lost nuance and a bit of humanity with it, as well as empowerment. Couple relativism with nonviolence and agnosticism, and the American Left has given away any ability to defend its core principles, and I'm left out in the cold with my gun, a sense of compassion, and a mandate to treat others equitably, though condemn what acts I know to be evil and wrong.
Frankly, the American Left would have done itself much better if it had included the 2nd Amendment as a core pillar of womens' rights.
