laughter in the dark

if you're a dumbfuck and you know it, bomb iraq

I'm really sorry, but I couldn't just link this. I had to post it:

A Song For Dubya (and Blair too, it looks like)

(To be sung to the tune of "If you're happy and you know it...." )

If you cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq.
If the markets are a drama, bomb Iraq.
If the terrorists are frisky,
Pakistan is looking shifty,
North Korea is too risky,
Bomb Iraq.

If we have no allies with us, bomb Iraq
If we think someone has dissed us, bomb Iraq.
So to hell with the inspections,
Let's look tough for the elections,
Close your mind and take directions,
Bomb Iraq.

It's "pre-emptive non-aggression", bomb Iraq.
Let's prevent this mass destruction, bomb Iraq.
They've got weapons we can't see,
And that's good enough for me,
'Cos it's all the proof I need
Bomb Iraq.

If you never were elected, bomb Iraq.
If your mood is quite dejected, bomb Iraq.
If you think Saddam's gone mad,
With the weapons that he had,
(And he tried to kill your dad),
Bomb Iraq.

If your corporate fraud is growin', bomb Iraq.
If your ties to it are showin', bomb Iraq.
If your politics are sleazy,
And hiding that ain't easy,
And your manhood's getting queasy,
Bomb Iraq.

Fall in line and follow orders, bomb Iraq.
For our might knows not our borders, bomb Iraq.
Disagree? We'll call it treason,
Let's make war not love this season,
Even if we have no reason,
Bomb Iraq.

Is that not the best thing ever? Oh my God. I love it. (It was posted on the She-Net.com forums by Kayte.) I am sorry to steal this, but I had to have it. I'll be singing it when the first reports of bombings come in.

Oh, here's something else too which gave me a geeky high because as you know, I quite like LotR - Frodo has failed!

OK, I sometimes like it. I mean, I can take it or leave it really. That one elf looks a bit like a girl, doesn't he? I don't understand what everyone's so excited about myself.

Someone made an offer for my copy of Jack Maggs by Peter Carey, and I finally got it sent off today. (Don't forget to put 'ghostfox' as your referrer if you sign up! It gets me 8 points if you list at least one thing *puppy dog eyes*) It only cost me just under £3 to post it to Washington, which was a pleasant surprise. Only you're not allowed to include a letter, it costs 47p more, which I find odd. How much does a letter weigh, after all? Not much. I would have put one in there anyway, but I'm sure they have super x-ray things to find me out.

Bollocks. I should have put my address on the back too, I forgot. There'll probably be a problem with it now, that'd be just my luck.

I meant to read Jack Maggs, I really did, I've had it for ages, but I never really got around to it and it was just kind of taking up space. With the points I got I've made offers on... guess what?

Yes, I tried to resist, but I'm afraid I'm completely under the thrall of The Boy Who Made An Absolute Shitload For Warner Bros And Related Entities. I've read The Philosopher's Stone (Not the bloody Sorceror's!!) and The Goblet of Fire, but not the other two so I've ordered those. To be honest I got fed up reading fic which made references to people I'd never heard of (Remus, Lupin, Lockhart etc etc) And I do want to read the actual books. Actual books are better than fic. Actual books are better than fic. I'm going to start chanting that for ten minutes a day, I think.

What else? I missed my tetanus jab when I was 15, it turns out, so I had to have it the other day. It still hurts now. Stupid fatal diseases. Plus, my neck hurts when I turn my head to the left which is annoying.

Yeah. Um. Stupid Bush 'n Blair. I heard Blair on the radio actually at some public meeting being heckled about the war, and he responded by saying something like 'at least in this country, unlike Saddam's Iraq, you can come and heckle me at a public meeting'. Not in those words, of course. I'm not clever like him. Twat. But the point is that if he and Pretzel-Challenged get their way, the Iraqis won't be able to heckle anybody at public meetings, or even fucking go to them, because they'll all be too DEAD!

I am really too hungry to think at this point. I'm going to sign off and go and eat a chicken sandwich. Chicken good.
