Now if they could only get in touch with a good director, it would probably make for a much better movie than Tarantino's coke-addled rant, pastiche borefest of a movie called Death-Proof.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;'In the first incident, at Phelps Place and California Street NW, the attacker slashed a cabdriver's tires and drove a half-block away, police said. He then put his vehicle in reverse and hit the driver "at a high rate of speed," causing him to be "lifted into the air," according to the police report. The cabbie suffered broken ribs, police said.' &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;"We're calling him 'the Rogue Cabdriver,' " said D.C.

Its relations with the Union of the Comoros and its president, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Abdallah_Mohamed_Sambi" target="_self"&gt;Ahmed Abdalla Mohamed Sambi&lt;/a&gt;, have steadily deteriorated and reached a headway this year. Intelligence insiders have suggested; however, that the main goal of this operation may very well be securing the supply of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ylang_ylang" target="_self"&gt;Ylang Ylang&lt;/a&gt; oil, an ingredient used in most perfumes(Anjouan is the World's primary supplier).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171381793058011954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__TZyNgDeqzQ/R8RwV3UlOzI/AAAAAAAAAAM/M43PZnjgJfQ/s400/bacar.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Anjouan's dapper, fragrant President&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We know that the multinational perfume corporations are the ones who are pushing for this imperialist aggression, but this will not stand," said Anjouan President &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohamed_Bacar" target="_self"&gt;Mohamed Bacar&lt;/a&gt; , and added that "May Allah cut the heads of the Estée Lauder, Chanel Hydra! We will fight them on the beaches, we will fight them in the mountains; they shall not resist our scented hand-grenades, our perfumed arrows, they shall inhale the sweet sweet smell of our patrimony, our Ylang-Ylang, and their will shall come undone, Inshallah!!! We shall be victorious."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When reached for comment, a spokesperson for the European Perfumists Association denied these allegations, "It is ludicrous to suggest that we would invade or support the invasion of a country for any oil."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Military analysts have suggested that the African Union troops may have contracted the services of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Outcomes" target="_self"&gt;Executive Outcomes&lt;/a&gt;, a mercenary company based in South Africa, in order to counteract the "Ylang-Ylang" advantage of the Anjouan defense forces. "The introduction of company-sized &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civet" target="_self"&gt;Civet&lt;/a&gt; combat units and their musky capabilities may very well shift the balance of power in the theatre of operations," said the military expert Jon Van Stoergen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171382218259774274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__TZyNgDeqzQ/R8RwunUlO0I/AAAAAAAAAAU/OCPKF498DQI/s400/Civets.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Mercenary civets on routine patrol in Tanzania&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Let them come," Bacar retorted.

Certain Jewish groups have accused him on not being sufficiently supportive of Israel, and the way some see him-erroneously mind you-, if he keeps his so called "moderate" stance, he will scare away potential jewish donors, and the Republicans will pounce on him at the very least as weak, or at the very worst as a terrorist appeaser.&lt;br /&gt;But let's see what this accredited Fatah member has said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2007/03/obamas_aipac_speech_text_as_pr.html"&gt;On march 2, 2007:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"...we must preserve our total commitment toour unique defense relationship with Israel by fully funding military assistance and continuing work on the Arrow and related missile defense programs. This would help Israel maintain its military edge and deter andrepel attacks from as far as Tehran and as close as Gaza. Andwhen Israel is attacked, we must stand up for Israel’s legitimate rightto defend itself. Last summer, Hezbollah attacked Israel. By usingLebanon as an outpost for terrorism, and innocent people as shields, Hezbollah has also engulfed that entire nation in violence and conflict,and threatened the fledgling movement for democracy there. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Granted, he did put more pressure on Israel to achieve a diplomatic solution, but again, this is no different from what previous administrations have tried, or said to have tried.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"But in the end, we also know that we should never seek to dictate what isbest for the Israelis and their security interests. No Israeli PrimeMinister should ever feel dragged to or blocked from the negotiating table by the United States."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right....pretty please...make peace! We'll just watch from over here...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, so he didn't go to rallies supporting the Israeli air campaign and land incursion into Lebanon in 2006 &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/18/nyregion/18hillary.html"&gt;as Hillary did&lt;/a&gt;, but he did &lt;a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/US-Israel/SenRes534.html"&gt;vote&lt;/a&gt; to support it. And he didn't support the Iraq War vote, which was endorsed by the Israeli Far-right. But in many fundamental issues, he did not stray too far away &lt;a href="http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2008/01/11/6312/"&gt;from the mainstream&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But you know what? Right now I don't really care if Obama is good for the Jews, the Surinamese, or the Hobbits. The real question is: Is Obama good for the Flu? Because I could really use some Luo Tribesman, "Muslimist", or native Hawaiian remedy right now to relieve my throbbing headache and congested, mucus ridden lungs . And for the record, we actually found out who obama really is NOT good for: Mariachi Bands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0fd-MVU4vtU&amp;amp;rel=" width="425" height="355" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesús!!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20118843-2736271693469913517?l=zanganoazul.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zanganoazul.blogspot.com/feeds/2736271693469913517/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20118843&amp;postID=2736271693469913517' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20118843/posts/default/2736271693469913517'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20118843/posts/default/2736271693469913517'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zanganoazul.blogspot.com/2008/02/but-is-he-good-for-anything.html' title='But is he Good for Anything?'/><author><name>El Zángano Azul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03683664765367973291</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='12' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/40/9180/640/Zangano%20Azul.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20118843.post-116054154157421699</id><published>2006-10-11T00:02:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-10-11T10:37:37.943-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Crap!</title><content type='html'>-You should go out if it's so nice, go out for a walk.&lt;br /&gt;-Yes, I think I should...I'll leave now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so the events were set in motion for one of the most shattering humiliations suffered by The Blue Drone. I set upon what was supposed to be a leisurely holiday stroll. I crossed 16th Street, book bag slung over my shoulder, feeling quite at ease and enjoying the pleasant 70 degree temperature, and then...it happened.&lt;br /&gt;Something hit my forehead, it felt warm, soft and mushy and started trickling down my glasses and down my tender blue cheek. No, this cannot be...even as I saw my vision blurred by a greenish ooze, like when horror movie titles start trickling blood, except this wasn't blood.  I had been shat on by a bird...on my face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/400/caca%20de%20pajaro1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were many passersby, and I had to scramble and find a leaf to clean my precious precious visage, I could see them laugh at me, mock me for a tragic event that in no way I could have prevented.

I can see a valid point in this, since if you are defecated on...in public, well...nothing could be more ignoble, except maybe being shat on by an elephant or shit-sprayed by a hippo, which reminds me to be more careful next time I go to the zoo. And I suppose that since birds have &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloaca"&gt;cloacas&lt;/a&gt; it serves as double the humiliation...being shat and peed on at the same time. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, this is where I would normally start adding historical references like "The Greeks thought that bird droppings represented a so-so harvest" or "The Babylonians said that if a bird defecated on you face, it meant that you were a cuckold" and so forth. Except, I didn't find any historical references to bird droppings and luck. What I DID find instead were countless weblog entries detailing "being pooped on by a bird" experiences...and it didn't make me feel special or original...at all.   Goddammit I was pooped on!!! I'm special!!! I am!! I really am!!! Am I? Not really. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So the moral of the story is this: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. It is sometimes better to stay indoors, even if its "really nice" outside.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. You are not special...you might think you are, but you are NOT.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. There is no relation between bird droppings and luck, and whoever came up with that is full of (bird)shit!*&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;*&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;This closing line was probably used by about 300,742 "shat on by a bird" weblog entries...DAMN YOU INTERNET!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20118843-116054154157421699?l=zanganoazul.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zanganoazul.blogspot.com/feeds/116054154157421699/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20118843&amp;postID=116054154157421699' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20118843/posts/default/116054154157421699'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20118843/posts/default/116054154157421699'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zanganoazul.blogspot.com/2006/10/crap.html' title='Crap!'/><author><name>El Zángano Azul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03683664765367973291</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='12' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/40/9180/640/Zangano%20Azul.jpg'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20118843.post-116015038724174822</id><published>2006-10-06T11:52:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-10-06T12:00:51.553-04:00</updated><title type='text'>My my...</title><content type='html'>What a big head you have, errr...had! !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/400/cabezon.jpg" border="0" /&gt; Is it just pent-up guilt for owing your fortune to your dad's use of Nazi slave labor?

Two were discovered Tuesday with their tails lopped off, state fisheries department official Wayne Sumpton said.&lt;br /&gt;Sumpton said fishermen who inadvertently catch the diamond-shaped rays sometimes cut off their tails to avoid being stung, but the practice was uncommon. Stingrays often are caught in fishing nets by mistake and should be returned to the sea, Sumpton said&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now explain to me what purpose does this serve? Was this guy so popular in Australia to impel people to start killing stingrays? I always thought Australians were strange, but this is downright stoopid.&lt;br /&gt;I didn't want to comment on this guy's death anyway. His death was tragic, yes, but something in me also tells me that the odds just caught up with him, and in fact, he reminds me a little bit of &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427312/"&gt;this guy&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Then again, as eccentric entertainers go, he was quite harmless, except when he dangled his baby son in front of a crocodile, and he did at least encourage learning about nature.&lt;br /&gt;Now all this talk about Stingrays and Manta Rays brought back a song to my head, The Blue Drone sometimes being Mr. Literal Drone, and I'd like to play it as an eulogy of sorts to the Crocodile Dude...to the Manta Rays. It doesn't matter...take a pick, what is certain is that it's rockin'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://www.castpost.com/Lib/playm1.php?filename=05 Manta Ray.mp3&amp;amp;url=http://zanganoazul.castpost.com/" frameborder="0" width="250" scrolling="no" height="40"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20118843-115809172851641396?l=zanganoazul.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zanganoazul.blogspot.com/feeds/115809172851641396/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20118843&amp;postID=115809172851641396' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20118843/posts/default/115809172851641396'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20118843/posts/default/115809172851641396'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zanganoazul.blogspot.com/2006/09/why.html' title='Why?'/><author><name>El Zángano Azul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03683664765367973291</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='12' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/40/9180/640/Zangano%20Azul.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20118843.post-115808795780572418</id><published>2006-09-12T14:58:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-09-12T15:05:57.823-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Tsk Tsk...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/1600/spacewalk.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block;

I am walking on a sidewalk, a very wide sidewalk in a non-descript big city. It is cloudy, it has rained. I chat with a friend as we walk nonchalantly and I notice that the sidewalk is littered with thousands and thousands of wriggling earthworms. We start to tread carefully so as not to step on them, we get closer to the storefronts. Near one of the windows there is a heated grill, similar to a space heater. The Earthworms that have wandered close to the grill are withered and all dried up. We keep walking carefully. A chicken, just like the one in the picture above, starts moving...dragging itself along the sidewalk. All of a sudden a stranger, a girl, steps on it and squishes it, muttering something about saving the animal. End.&lt;br /&gt;2. I am cleaning the bathtub. I apply a cleaning solution and start scrubbing. I scrub and scrub and scrub some more. Yet the bathtub remains dirty. I keep scrubbing and scrubbing and cleaning and water starts to accumulate. The bathtub is still dirty. I scrub and scrub until all the paint, porcelain, and metal are gone, revealing some underlying fiberglass-like material. It starts to soak up all the water and begins to bulge. End.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was going to ask Josef Von Teufel about these two, but he's a hopeless charlatan and a silly man, so I decided  to ask the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_eye_movement"&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt; instead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is the stage of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Sleep" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;sleep&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; characterized by rapid &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Eye movements" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_movements"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;movements of the eyes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;. During this stage, the activity of the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Brain" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;brain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;'s &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Neuron" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuron"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;neurons&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; is quite similar to that during waking hours; for this reason, the phenomenon is often called paradoxical sleep. Most of the vividly recalled &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Dream" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;dreams&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; occur during REM sleep. It is the lightest form of sleep, and people awakened during REM usually feel alert and refreshed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The function of REM sleep is not well understood; several theories have been advanced.&lt;br /&gt;According to one theory, certain &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Memory" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;memories&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; are consolidated during REM sleep.

Anger arose within me before I realized that it all fits with my master plan, as it is easier to control dimwits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news, today's prize for most blatant promotion of disingenuous theory based on bad historical/scientific analogy goes to this article:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060907/sc_afp/britainclimateenvironmentwarming_060907164414"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Climate change was once boost, not threat to civilization: scientist&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;LONDON (AFP) - Severe climate change thousands of years ago may have been a boost to civilization rather than the danger it appears to pose today, a British scientist said.&lt;br /&gt;Between 4,000 and 6,000 years ago, natural fluctuations in the Earth's orbit weakened the monsoon rains and brought a more arid climate, the University of East Anglia's Nick Brooks told a science festival in Norwich, eastern England.&lt;br /&gt;The seeds for the civilizations in Egypt, Iraq, South Asia, China and northern South America were sown when hunter-gatherer people then gravitated to the remaining water sources and settled in stable communities, he said Thursday.&lt;br /&gt;His view contradicts that of many experts who believe civilization resulted from a transition from a harsh, unpredictable climate during the last ice age, to a more clement and stable environment 10,000 years ago.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taking the theory at face value, the massive climate change provoked by the giant asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs(just a theory as well) was also beneficial, because it eventually led to the further development of mammalian species. So, following that line of thinking, wouldn't we all benefit by a a friendly visit from a giant asteroid or more cataclismic events?&lt;br /&gt;The article also fails to point out the fact that what took place 6,000 years ago was 'natural' climate change, not change induced by humans. Now, I will not get into the argument regarding what makes a natural event "natural", as I am aware that humans are not alien entities on the planet, but the article is written in such a way that suggests: "Hey, climate change is actually good so, don't worry about the scaremongers and hysterics, had it not been for it we wouldn't have the Great Pyramid of Giza, who knows how far we will go if we pursue our current ways."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could'nt stop thinking that no serious scientist would promote such a hare-brained idea, unless he worked for a think tank paid for by a fossil-fuels company, and then I found an article about the same speech, but written by Reuters instead of Agence France Presse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060907/sc_nm/environment_civilization_dc"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Climate change forged first civilizations: scientist&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;NORWICH (Reuters) - The earliest civilizations were not a product of favorable conditions but rather a last resort in the face of dramatic shifts in the weather, a climate scientist said on Thursday.&lt;br /&gt;Flying in the face of accepted theory that settled societies emerged from the development of static farming in good climatic conditions that produced food surpluses and allowed specialization, Nick Brooks said the opposite was true.&lt;br /&gt;"Civilization did not arise as the result of a benign environment which allowed humanity to indulge a preference for living in complex, urban civilized societies," he told the annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pretty similar no? but here is the last line in the Reuters article: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;And he warned against drawing comparisons with the global warming that is predicted to raise average temperatures by around three degrees this century, noting that the temperature rise was well above that which forced the societal change 5,000 years ago.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's not only what you read...but also where you read it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060907/sc_nm/environment_life_dc"&gt;And, speaking of Dinosaurs...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20118843-115766001846779393?l=zanganoazul.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zanganoazul.blogspot.com/feeds/115766001846779393/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20118843&amp;postID=115766001846779393' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20118843/posts/default/115766001846779393'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20118843/posts/default/115766001846779393'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zanganoazul.blogspot.com/2006/09/blue-drone-checks-pulse-of.html' title='The Blue Drone checks the pulse of the nation...realizes there isn&apos;t any.'/><author><name>El Zángano Azul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03683664765367973291</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='12' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/40/9180/640/Zangano%20Azul.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20118843.post-115742819956115241</id><published>2006-09-05T11:44:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-09-05T11:59:01.886-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Josef Von Teufel: Bibliomancer, Visionary...Silly Man(so says The Blue Drone)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 440px; HEIGHT: 300px" height="544" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n3/escueto/Picture054.jpg" width="522" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greetings, adoring public and faithful followers of sideral bibliomancy. I have indeed returned to reveal truths and answer the questions that befuddle all. This week my fingers will caress the pages of XIX Century philosophy and guide your way towards fullness and happiness. And I will achieve this feat despite the fact that this &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schopenhauer"&gt;mensch&lt;/a&gt; was considered-though not entirely accurately-to be quite the pessimist. Those Germans, and their German ways...but in any case, let us proceed....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aquarius&lt;/strong&gt;(Jan 20-Feb 18)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"A good supply of resignation is of the first importance in providing for the journey of life.

Move on Aquarius, there are more fish in the sea...that will reject you. Also, Red Sox fans, give up!

Cease to watch this "television" and read "Gossip magazines", lest you become an insufferable idiot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aries&lt;/strong&gt;(Mar 21-Apr 19)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"The actual life of a thought lasts only until it reaches the point of speech: there it petrifies and is henceforth dead but indestructible, like the petrified plants and animals of prehistory.

It is only a few great minds that are above this weakness, and, instead of being laughed at, have come to laugh themselves."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;It matters not that you have been laid off, slipped on a banana peel, then got hit by a car and suffered 4 compound fractures within a period of 30 minutes. Laugh, even if it is a Pyscho-homicidal laugh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gemini&lt;/strong&gt;(May 21-Jun 21)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"It is just because all happiness is of a negative character that, when we succeed in being perfectly at our ease, we are not properly conscious of it. Everything seems to pass us softly and gently, and hardly to touch us until the moment is over; and then it is the positive feeling of something lacking that tells us of the happiness which has vanished; it is then that we observe that we have failed to hold it fast, and we suffer the pangs of self-reproach as well as of privation."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;That's the feeling you get when you stop reading Josef Von Teufel's wise words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cancer&lt;/strong&gt;(Jun 22-Jul 22)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"Money is human happiness in the abstract: he, then, who is no longer capable of enjoying human happiness in the concrete devotes his heart entirely to money."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;Cancer, I care for your happiness in the concrete! Give away your wealth...to me! So as to purchase more, err...volumes of books, yes, that's the ticket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Leo&lt;/strong&gt;(Jul 22-Aug 22)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"Many undoubtedly owe their good fortune to the circumstance that they possess a pleasing smile with which they win hearts.

Now had it not been for those stones you were passing you would have pulled it off.

Insensitive, cruel?...allow me to elaborate, and ennumerate the main reasons justifying Florida's well deserved demise, and you shall understand, nay! You shall join the righteous camp! :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;strong&gt;"Gusanos"&lt;/strong&gt;: derogatory term given to (mostly)wealthy Cuban emigrés who fled after the Cuban Revolution of 1959. Rabidly Anti-Castro, reactionary in most political debate. Now, I am no fan of "El Comandante", but through their well documented lobbying efforts they have made life for their fellow Cubans on the island far more miserable, knowingly or unknowingly. Well known to support conservative causes in the political sphere. And mainly responsible for...&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;strong&gt;George W. Bush&lt;/strong&gt;: Due to the so-called 'mishandling' of the Elián González affair by the Clinton administration, and a fair degree of political maneuvering , most of the Cuban electorate in Florida supported George W. Bush in the 2000 election. We know the story from there. Who knows? Maybe the war in Iraq could have been averted.&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;strong&gt;Miami, The Capital of the Latino Entertainment Industry&lt;/strong&gt;: Everyday, moronic, imbecilic programming is beamed to millions of households turning normal human beings into vapid, superficial lumpen. Takes the worst material from American and Latin Television and manages to make it even worse. Think 'Fox' without smart shows like the 'Simpsons' and more fake-news programs and brain-killing talk shows.&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;strong&gt;Disney World&lt;/strong&gt;: Huge mega entertainment complexes designed to brainwash children...and adults into buying crap, and afterwards...buying more crap. People apparently move to Orlando to be closer to the Theme Parks, their Mecca. Off with their heads I say!&lt;br /&gt;5. &lt;strong&gt;Florida looks ugly on a map&lt;/strong&gt;: It's ungainly, and not pleasing to look at, extending like an unnecessary appendage towards the ocean, and disrupting the country's symmetry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have any relatives or loved ones living in Florida, please let them know that they should evacuate soon. Unless they're lumpen of course, then they should perish as well.

So how can this be explained?:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060825/ap_on_sc/tropical_fish"&gt;More tropical fish sighted in R.I. water &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;NEWPORT, R.I. - An unusually large number of tropical fish have been spotted this summer in Rhode Island waters by divers, fishermen and environmentalists.&lt;br /&gt;Among the fish seen so far: juvenile orange filefish, snowy grouper and lookdowns. A local lobsterman pulled up a large trigger fish in one of his traps.&lt;br /&gt;"We're always catching tropicals during the summer months, but I mean there are a lot more. Probably about double the amount," Jean Bambara, an aquarist at Save the Bay's Exploration Center in Newport, told The Providence Journal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory?id=2340152"&gt;Endangered Manatee Spotted Off R.I.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;WARWICK, R.I. Aug 21, 2006 (AP)— An endangered manatee made a rare appearance in Rhode Island waters during the weekend, a state marine biologist said.&lt;br /&gt;The manatee was seen Sunday in Greenwich Bay off the coast of Warwick. The large marine mammals are usually found only in the warm waters of Florida and the Carolinas. The animal was not spotted Monday.&lt;br /&gt;Manatees eat salt marsh grass, algae and seaweed, said April Valliere, a state marine biologist. Water temperatures have been unusually warm, she said, which probably allowed the manatee to follow food sources so far north.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hard to believe that there are still some who consider climate change and global warming a fallacy.

After a very brief moment of annoyance, he noticed a series words below a link offering special prices on imitation designer wristwatches. The Blue Drone scoffs at time-keeping devices; time is but an invention of puny little humans and betrays their petty little ambitions of futilely making schedules and re-organizing omnipresent chaos. I chortle at them! And I'll bend time just to toy with their perceptions!&lt;br /&gt;Yet...the words that followed, albeit apparently random, trascended any faux-marketer's bottom line:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;ink sac low-living team boatcharity school quasi cultivation treasury warrant two-rowed set up short-distance sea wand queen cat mountain foxtail drain repairer Basonga-mina silk mercer towel gourd pock-fretten soul-wounding gaming contract powder flask filly-folly sapta-matri right-angle drop stitch&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found myself reading them over and over again, until they almost had the tone and melody of a mantra.

It went a little something like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A bit disturbing, yet it contains a grain of truth. Case in point: Sweden. A country that save for Ingmar Bergman has only produced very very awful pop music bands...and IKEA.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20118843-115497070986267704?l=zanganoazul.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zanganoazul.blogspot.com/feeds/115497070986267704/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20118843&amp;postID=115497070986267704' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20118843/posts/default/115497070986267704'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20118843/posts/default/115497070986267704'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zanganoazul.blogspot.com/2006/08/talesquotes.html' title='Tales...Quotes...'/><author><name>El Zángano Azul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03683664765367973291</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='12' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/40/9180/640/Zangano%20Azul.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20118843.post-115470357738891861</id><published>2006-08-04T10:24:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-08-04T12:04:09.676-04:00</updated><title type='text'>The Blue Drone Asks:</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/1600/Ninjaasks.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/400/Ninjaasks.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Sensei. &lt;br /&gt;How can one be  able to achieve the rank of Psychic Ninja Master when one's trait of transparency in thought and action serves more as a burden than an ability?

Schadenfreude! Ja!" was one of the running jokes at the bar, spoken in a faux "Dieter from SNL" tone... "Ja Ich bin expert in den Schadenfreude Ja". I had experienced this Schadenfreude once or twice before... pleasure from the pain of others, yes, I must admit...I am a human-drone after all, and there is a certain aspect of karmic justice within it when it involves those who have wronged you. As Mel Brooks is quoted as saying: "Tragedy is when I cut my finger, comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die."&lt;br /&gt;'Schadenfreude', also happens to be the name given to Goth Night at a nearby bar conveniently located on the way to my house.&lt;br /&gt;Two nights ago...&lt;br /&gt;I had finished tackling a crossword puzzle that WAS meant to be finished...I sipped on my 'High Life'-how it came to be known as 'The Champagne of Beers' still boggles my mind-and took two final drags off my cigarette, bent on leaving the still-empty bar to look for, how should I put it, greener pastures?&lt;br /&gt;After visiting some fine establishments along the way, I decided to call it an early night and head home...but something lured me into this "Schadenfreude Goth Night"...mayhaps it was the chance for one last drink before I lay to an early slumber...mayhaps it was my restlessness.&lt;br /&gt;It was dark, of course...and nobody smiles. A tall skinny pale guy stands near the stage, bad haircut, bad tattoos...he is not happy, he is not even content with his task of repeatedly hitting the electronic drum-kit in the same beat. Close to him stands another who goes through the same motions, and who, unsurprisingly looks just like him, except he has a better elecronic drum-kit. He also looks unhappy.&lt;br /&gt;Strangely enough, their sadness enlightens me not. Am I not supposed to feel pleasure at their seeming displeasure? Yet it still eluded me.&lt;br /&gt;I pace, lean by the bar and glance at another who nurses a drink and plays with her necklace twisting it around her fingers...dour, beaten expression in her face. She is very sad. And I am still not happy.&lt;br /&gt;And why goth? Goth&lt;em&gt;ic&lt;/em&gt; perhaps, but not goth. Black lace and bad taste in clothes and music a goth does not make. I refuse to compare the people who conquered and settled large swaths of the former Western AND Eastern Roman Empires with the people who conquered...uhm, well... 'Hot Topic'! A group of helmeted barbarians dancing while wearing leather armor and swinging their maces and swords...that I'd pay money to see.&lt;br /&gt;I look at the bartender. At this point I decide that I do not really need another drink. She looks tired, and very un-goth like. She is not having a good time. And I am still not happy; worse yet, I feel empathy for this service employee...and share her dissatisfaction at such a mediocre example of a "theme" night. My efforts have surely backfired. And I remember that the only people smiling were the two that relieved me of five dollars at the door. I'd been had, I'd been Schadenfreud'ed!!!&lt;br /&gt;After a short time, I decide that the remainder of my night out is better spent buying some groceries at Safeway and end up dining on sweet green peppercorn salami with swiss cheese on a baguette...a pleasure, and one that did not depend on the pain of others, save the pig, the dairy cow, and the underpaid bakery employees. Now THAT is Schadenfreude.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20118843-115461824949843187?l=zanganoazul.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zanganoazul.blogspot.com/feeds/115461824949843187/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20118843&amp;postID=115461824949843187' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20118843/posts/default/115461824949843187'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20118843/posts/default/115461824949843187'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zanganoazul.blogspot.com/2006/08/on-goth-nightand-other-linguistic.html' title='On Goth Night...and other linguistic missteps.'/><author><name>El Zángano Azul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03683664765367973291</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='12' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/40/9180/640/Zangano%20Azul.jpg'/></author><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20118843.post-115446351752708605</id><published>2006-08-01T15:59:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-08-02T09:48:30.300-04:00</updated><title type='text'>The Blue Drone says:</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/1600/nukey.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/320/nukey.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's better just to fantasize about feeding your good-for-nothing, imbecilic overseers to a pack of sex-starved baboons and hungry hyenas rather than actually doing it.&lt;br /&gt;...They might give the poor beasts one serious indigestion/infection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Upset...Angry?

He would hold his thumb and forefinger at precisely one inch from each other and would go on to say: "This, this is how it all got started that day when I placed these two fingers on that Westcott ruler. I was but a child, but now, as I stand 37 &amp; 3/8ths of an inch in front of you, I can finally say that I am the Master of Measure."&lt;br /&gt;His friends advised him that he should become an interior designer or a surveyor, but instead, he preferred to observe the anoles on the trees and measure their tails from afar, along with tree's height, and the width of its leaves.&lt;br /&gt;Time passed and Alan realized that he could not really make a living from watching and measuring the local flora &amp;amp; fauna. Seeing that measuring was his only skill, he decided to travel abroad in search of fame and fortune. Unfortunately, he chose France as his destination, and it proved his undoing. Confident of his abilities he took a job as a tailor's assistant in the town of Nimes. Alas, his stroke of luck was very short lived, as he found out on the first work-day. When asked for the length of a certain piece of very expensive corduroy, he swiftly answered: "But of course, it's 3 yards and 2/5ths", which produced only blank stares from the tailor and the customer. Alan was an expert measurer, no doubt, yet he could not measure using the metric system, and for all intents and purposes, he was speaking Sanskrit to the Frenchmen.&lt;br /&gt;He tried to use his fingers..."See, this is one inch, this times 36 is one yard, it's all quite easy you know".&lt;br /&gt;All his efforts were in vain.&lt;br /&gt;The tailor was a kind and understanding man, and tried to teach Alan the metric system, but it seemed that the very same gift that Alan had for inches, feet &amp; yards made it impossible for him to learn about millimeters or centimeters. Many months passed, and  the tailor-not being well off himself-was inevitably forced to dismiss Alan, who then wandered eastward, all the while muttering to himself: "this is one inch, it's easy...this is one inch, it's easy", over and over again, until it reached the point that his hands became atrophied in the "one inch" position. He travelled as far as Moldova, where he was eventually taken in by a group of itinerant Roma who showcased him until old age as "The Crazy Gadje with the Claw Hands".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FIN&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20118843-115135824725108976?l=zanganoazul.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zanganoazul.blogspot.com/feeds/115135824725108976/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20118843&amp;postID=115135824725108976' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20118843/posts/default/115135824725108976'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20118843/posts/default/115135824725108976'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zanganoazul.blogspot.com/2006/06/measure.html' title='Measure.'/><author><name>El Zángano Azul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03683664765367973291</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='12' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/40/9180/640/Zangano%20Azul.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20118843.post-115109435538331469</id><published>2006-06-23T15:49:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-06-23T16:30:02.903-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Dead Music</title><content type='html'>In memoriam of one the best bands that is no longer around. Hefner was a quirky, funny experiment in the late 90's early 00's by some former art students from jolly old England.

Perhaps some are destined to such fates, rather than just burn out into mediocrity.&lt;br /&gt;They had some of the best song titles around, among them the "Hymn Series":&lt;br /&gt;-The Hymn for the Cigarettes&lt;br /&gt;-The Hymn for the Alcohol&lt;br /&gt;-The Hymn for the Postal Service(not the band)&lt;br /&gt;-The Hymn for the Coffee&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And some of the best album artwork:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/320/citycd.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/320/boxeo.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/320/revelations.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/320/cristochica.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nuoqskc7lAI"&gt;Here's&lt;/a&gt; the video(not embeddable) for 'Christian Girls', the sound is not the best but it's still listenable... &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TSIPg3iLSbk" width="425" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or watch the one for "Good Fruit" here, and thus ends my first post in English.&lt;br /&gt;Yikes!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20118843-115109435538331469?l=zanganoazul.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zanganoazul.blogspot.com/feeds/115109435538331469/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20118843&amp;postID=115109435538331469' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20118843/posts/default/115109435538331469'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20118843/posts/default/115109435538331469'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zanganoazul.blogspot.com/2006/06/dead-music.html' title='Dead Music'/><author><name>El Zángano Azul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03683664765367973291</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='12' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/40/9180/640/Zangano%20Azul.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20118843.post-115099544129138634</id><published>2006-06-22T12:32:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-06-22T14:15:17.746-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Premiados...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/1600/Picture%20008.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He aquí los premios para los ganadores del trivia de hace dos posts...

Aquí en el Zángano Azul les apoyamos, no por su atletismo ni por sus abilidades con el esférico. Sino porque de todas las banderas que ondean en las gradas, la bandera de Angola es la más esteticamente atractiva.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 330px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 245px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="404" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/400/angolaflag1.jpg" width="512" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El rojo, el negro, y ese buen machete que dice "no jodas con nosotros, le metimos caña en los 80' tanto a los Sudafricanos como a sus lacayos de &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unita"&gt;UNITA&lt;/a&gt;". No tiene comparación con las otras aburridas banderas de los demás participantes...Francia: tres barras azul, blanco, rojo...yawn! ¿Holanda, lo mismo en diferente ángulo?  Bah!  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Es una pena que &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozambique"&gt;Mozambique&lt;/a&gt; no pudo participar en la copa. De haber haber participado, nuestro apoyo hubiera sido incondicional, ya que su bandera supera aún a la bandera de Angola. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Veamos:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 378px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 246px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="282" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/400/mzlarge.0.gif" width="386" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Parece bastante normal hasta el momento que te fijas en el sello oficial sobre la estrella. Sí, es un &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ak-47"&gt;AK-47&lt;/a&gt;, y no sólo un AK-47, pero un AK-47 con una bayoneta, una azada y un libro, que bien podría ser la Biblia pero yo digo que es Don Quijote. Eso es una bandera de verdad. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Algunos argumentaran que es una imagen muy violenta, tomando en cuenta la turbulenta historia de Africa, y que debería ser cambiada por otros símbolos más conciliatorios. Es cierto, pero si estuviste asediado por varias décadas no por sólo uno, sino por dos regímenes de Apartheid(&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodesia"&gt;Rodesia&lt;/a&gt; y &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apartheid_South_Africa"&gt;Sudáfrica&lt;/a&gt;) y les venciste, tienes derecho a poner lo que te venga en gana en tu bandera. Pon una cabra balanceándose sobre una pelota de fútbol, pon 'Hello Kittys', pon una mujer desnuda, pon lo que te de la gana.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Así que si quieren citar a &lt;a href="http://www.toopure.com/mclusky/"&gt;McLusky&lt;/a&gt; la bandera podría ser así: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/1600/mzlargemod3.6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 403px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 254px" height="289" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/400/mzlargemod3.5.jpg" width="418" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;O para ser más directo al punto, podría ser así*:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/1600/mzlargemod1a.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 406px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px" height="297" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/400/mzlargemod1a.jpg" width="406" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Aunque Rodesia ya no exista como Rodesia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A final de cuentas, TODAS las banderas son sólo trapos...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/1600/mzlargemod1a.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20118843-115090809024342075?l=zanganoazul.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zanganoazul.blogspot.com/feeds/115090809024342075/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20118843&amp;postID=115090809024342075' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20118843/posts/default/115090809024342075'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20118843/posts/default/115090809024342075'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zanganoazul.blogspot.com/2006/06/algunos-trapos-son-mejores-que-otros.html' title='Algunos trapos son mejores que otros...'/><author><name>El Zángano Azul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03683664765367973291</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='12' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/40/9180/640/Zangano%20Azul.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20118843.post-115014828486517558</id><published>2006-06-14T15:16:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-06-14T15:19:36.720-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Es Oficial...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/1600/supernerd.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/320/supernerd.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Por la presente me gustaría anunciar que los nerdos de 'Star Wars' le han quitado el cetro a los 'Trekkies' en el Battle Royale de quienes son los más geek-dorkwads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mi evidencia: &lt;a href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page"&gt;El Wookiepedia&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Que contiene artículos como este:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The Pella Compact was the council that lead the first settlers to the planet &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Pelagon" href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Pelagon"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Pelagon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; in the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Tapani Sector" href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tapani_Sector"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Tapani Sector&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; approximately &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="13,000 BBY" href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/13,000_BBY"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;13,000 BBY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;.

Conversé con el capataz de la sección 4-B y expresé mis deseos de buscar nuevos caminos, aunque fuera temporalmente, y recibí una licencia sin paga para poder explorar otros campos de pericia antes de que mi fatídico momento llegue. Así que emprendí en mi búsqueda y encontré la &lt;a href="http://www.ameraccord.com/"&gt;Asociación Americana de Acordeonistas&lt;/a&gt;. Siempre quise tocar un instrumento así que decidí comunicarme con ellos. Su presidenta parece ser una persona que pudiera comprender mi situacion:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/400/reed....jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;From: José Torres[thebluedrone@yahoo.com]&lt;br /&gt;To: Linda Soley Reed[LSReed@ameracord.com]&lt;br /&gt;Subject: Accordions, Membership&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Ms. Reed,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greetings, and allow me to begin this letter by congratulating you for taking the helm of an organization of such prestige as the American Association of Accordionists. I am writing to kindly ask for your consideration of my membership application to the A.A.A. All through my life, I've enjoyed the melodious sounds of the accordion, a much underrated yet beautiful instrument. Its sound is unequaled in the world of music. If you could allow an indiscretion, I've noticed that your last name is 'Reed'. Is this a coincidence? Perhaps fate that predestined you to attain your status as president of the largest association of free reed instruments in the United States. I would like to be a free reed like you as well, not one trapped in the sticky, enclosed confines of my workplace, and bellow my music for all to hear, as I am sure you do as well. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Alas, I was not born with the gift of the accordion-master-supreme, as many call it, and I have never played it before, though I've certainly danced many a Polka, Hora, and Kocek to it. I do not mean to disinform you, I am certainly gifted musically, considering my expertise in cowbell, and the one song that I memorized for the harmonica, which my neighbors enjoyed for many a forthnight. Would you be able provide personalized lessons so that I can master the magical music box of joy?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;In addition to this, I could serve as an ambassador of the A.A.A. to the world. I am aware that unfortunately, the accordion has an ill-deserved reputation among certain circles. But I know that it bellows the Lord's music, I don't mean just the Jesus love. I am aware that Jews play their Klezmer using it, and and the Romani enjoy this instrument as well. I really have no problem with them people...seriously. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I have one last request, in order not to take up more of your precious time, and it involves my assistant, Reindhart. Would it be possible to take him under your wing as well, he is well adept musically(he has already mastered the maracas!). He is a very well behaved spider monkey, and he is sooo cute, much better than his predecessor Alfonso, who was my assistant during my time as Cowbell ambassador. He was an excellent cowbell player, for a macaque. Yet his habit of flinging dung at passersby, among other unsavory ones, led to his dismissal and consequently my banishment from the American Cowbell Association. I am sure you are an understanding person and will give Reindhart a chance, at least in the concertina? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I would like to thank you for your time, and hope to hear from you soon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Sincerely,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;José Torres&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;P.S.

NW' estaba casi vacía, salvo un indigente que dormía bajo la cortina de la bodega 'La Colmenita' y otro que murmullaba frases ininteligibles postrado en los escalones que conducen al sótano de la botánica que tiene en la vitrina una Virgen del Cobre tamaño 'Harlem Globe Trotter'.&lt;br /&gt;Por un momento extrañé los kioscos que venden sólo discos de bachata, norteña y reggaeton junto a los obligatorios videos de peleas de gallo con títulos como "Sangre Al Amanecer", "Espuelas de la Muerte" y otras variaciones que involucran plumas y violencia. Pero ya los mercaderes habían desmontado sus tiendas varias horas antes y probablemente disfrutaban en este momento de unas 'Pacífico' mientras escuchaban sus bachatas, norteñas y reggaetón en algun bar y gritaban porras a la pantalla gigante que mostraba los partidos del 'Boca Juniors' o el 'River Plate'.&lt;br /&gt;Así que continué mi camino, deseándole suerte al mejor equipo. Sentí un movimiento a mi derecha, y pude ver de reojo una pequeña silueta fugaz que saltaba desde un arbusto hasta el borde de una ventana en el primer piso de un edificio de apartamentos. "Ah, una rata de seguro...o una ardilla quizá." Pero algo me hizo darle un nuevo vistazo a la silueta, y entonces lo ví.&lt;br /&gt;El crujir de sus pequeñas garras en el concreto me estremeció momentaneamente, su mirada fija en la mía, pausando para girar su cabeza en 270 grados a la derecha...a la izquierda...a la derecha...a la izquierda y de vuelta hacia mí. Sus pupilas engordando y enflaqueciendo según la luz cambiaba.&lt;br /&gt;"¿Amigo, no estás un poco lejos de tu nido?" "¿No se supone que estés ocupado cazando algun pequeño roedor o insecto nocturno?"...Pero sólo seguía mirándome fijamente, como si quisiera decirme algo.&lt;br /&gt;-"¿Dime, amigo, qué haces en la ciudad? las ratas son muy grandes para tí por acá y tu plumaje color marrón no te podra camuflar de otros depredadores más grandes aquí."&lt;br /&gt;Pero sólo me miraba.&lt;br /&gt;-"Amigo, errr, estimado Sr. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megascops_asio"&gt;Otus-Asio&lt;/a&gt;, no quiero presionarlo, pero me pone un poco nervioso mirándome así...sin decirme nada."&lt;br /&gt;Y así pasaron varios minutos hasta que una pareja embriagada, que con justa razón se dirigían a su casa, interrumpió nuestra conversación no verbal.&lt;br /&gt;El Sr. Otus Asio, al ver a los borrachos venir, voló a la seguridad de una rama alta y finalmente escuché su &lt;a href="http://www.cheekwood.org/nature/audio/screech/screech.wav"&gt;voz&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;¿Qué quería decirme? ¿Qué significó nuestro encuentro?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Cuentan los Apaches que el soñar con un búho indicaba que la muerte se aproximaba.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Los 'Cree' interpretaban el sonido de los búhos como un llamado al mundo de los espíritus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Para los chamanes 'Cherokee' los búhos sirven la función de impartir castigos y enfermedades, creencia que comparten con los 'Swahili' en Africa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Dicen otros, que con su potente visión, los búhos son capaces de mirar el alma, aspecto que explica por qué se considera al búho como símbolo de sabiduría. Los griegos lo asociaban a Atenea, diosa de guerra pero luego también representante de la sabiduría.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Cuentan los griegos también que Ascafalo, al ser castigado por descubrir secretos prohibidos, fue convertido en un búho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Los egipcios lo asociaban con Ra, y utilizaban la imagen de un búho para representar en jeroglífico el sonido 'm'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Un &lt;a href="http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/middle/animals2.htm"&gt;sondeo transcultural&lt;/a&gt; lo identifica de esta manera:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Owl - Wisdom, truth, patience, darkness, a death messenger, divination, solitude, detachment, wisdom, change, totem of clairvoyants and mystics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sabiduría, visión, muerte, enfermedad...¿Qué podría ser?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Claro que también podría tomar en cuenta que el Sr. Otus-Asio es la especie de búho más común de Norteamérica, que su hábitat a veces se extiende hasta ciertas areas urbanas, y que la primavera es la temporada en a cual se le avista más frecuentemente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/320/Screechowlrange.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A final de cuentas...vemos lo que queremos, y simplemente me alegro de haberle conocido, Sr. Otus Asio... &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/400/easo4.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¡Pero por favor, deje de mirarme así!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;P.D.

Además de transferirme al ala izquierda del complejo himenóptero para dirgir a otros zánganos en sus labores colmeniles, he estado muy ocupado tratando de reslover 'Pi' , investigando por qué hay huevos de gallina que son color marrón y otros que son blancos, y contemplando una posible migración a otra colmena.&lt;br /&gt;Pero los monjes de &lt;a href="http://www.culture.mn/mongolia.php?recordID=erdene-zuu-monastery"&gt;Erdenee Zuu Khiid&lt;/a&gt; me han indicado que debo pausar en mi búsqueda de conocimiento, ya que mi pequeño cerebro sólo puede procesar un número limitado de permutaciones, mutaciones, y malditumutilaciones.&lt;br /&gt;Escuchaba mi Victrola hace poco y me tope con una melodía titulada "Virginia Reel Around the Fountain" por la agrupación "Built To Spill". Siempre me pareció curioso el título. ¿Que es un 'Virginia Reel', y qué hace alrededor de una fuente? Una breve búsqueda resulto en dos posibles opciones:&lt;br /&gt;La &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Reel_roller_coaster"&gt;primera&lt;/a&gt; es un tipo de montaña rusa antigua en la cual hay varias bacinetas gigantes en forma de taza que giran en su propio eje mientras siguen un curso similar a las montañas rusas regulares pero con grados de inclinación más leves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/400/Virginia2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;La &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Reel_(dance)"&gt;segunda&lt;/a&gt; es un baile folklórico oriundo de Escocia que aparentemente fue muy popular con los primeros colonizadores de E.E.U.U. y que la gente baila de vez en cuando aún.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/400/bbbwhataball.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;¿Pero a cuál se refieren? ¿Bailamos el 'Virginia Reel' alrededor de la fuente o giramos mientras giramos en las bacinetas alrededor de la fuente? Yo prefiero pensar que bailamos el 'Virginia Reel' dentro de las bacinetas mientras estras giran en su eje y a la vez giran alrededor de la fuente. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Las letras son lo suficientemente crípticas pero funcionan como buen complemento para las guitarras, que en realidad son las que llevan la canción y la convierten casi en un lamento épico.

Los expertos &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larsen_B"&gt;dicen&lt;/a&gt; que su colapso no afecta significativamente los niveles del mar, pero que sí funciona como indicador de cosas por venir.

Is Ambien Sleepwalking Understated?&lt;br /&gt;By Martin F. Downs&lt;br /&gt;Special to The Washington Post&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday, March 14, 2006; Page HE01&lt;br /&gt;The most prescribed sleep medication in the United States may be linked to episodes of sleepwalking and related strange and dangerous behaviors, experts say -- including incidents of nocturnal eating, phone conversations, shoplifting and even driving -- of which the subject has no memory.&lt;br /&gt;Sleep specialists and researchers cite a growing though still inconclusive body of reports associating Sanofi-Aventis's drug Ambien with the incidents. More than 24 million prescriptions for Ambien were written in 2004.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O sea, que las píldoras que compraste para ayudarte a dormir, contrario a lo que esperabas...te mantienen cuasi-despierto toda la noche... Tremenda inversión haz hecho. ¡24 millones! ¡Yo quiero ese ejército de sonámbulos bajo mi control!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;"Reports made to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by doctors and patients show more sleepwalking incidents associated with Ambien than with all other sleep aids combined.&lt;br /&gt;None of these observations proves Ambien causes sleepwalking, and questions about the side effect were not raised during the FDA's preapproval review of the scientific data. The agency approved the drug in 1993. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eh...llaménme simplista, nostálgico o quizá no entiendo la versión posmoderna de lo que es causa y efecto. No es como que la industria contrata miles de cabilderos para que el FDA mire para el lado mientras aprueba una nueva sustancia controlada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;"After a drug is approved and marketed in the United States, the FDA accepts (but does not actively solicit) reports of side effects from doctors, patients and drug makers. FDA adverse event report databases contain sleepwalking reports from 1997 through June 2005. (Ambien has been available in the United States since 1993, but sleepwalking events per se were not reported before 1997.) "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ditto!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A veces pienso, sin embargo, que la gente se merece que le pase lo que le pasa por idiotas. Miren esto:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;"The case of lifelong insomnia sufferer Janet Makinen is typical of the Ambien incidents.&lt;br /&gt;The 55-year-old resident of Dade City, Fla., said she took Ambien nightly for six years. During that time, she regularly got out of bed after having fallen asleep, went to the kitchen and ate, she said.&lt;br /&gt;"I went from wearing a size 1 to wearing a size 12," Makinen said. "I would eat raw eggs. I would eat a half-gallon of ice cream. I would eat a bag of potato chips, a loaf of bread."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O sea que por Seis(6) años tomó el medicamento, y nunca pudo atar cabos...deja ver 1+1=2, me tomo la píldora, me despierto a mitad de noche a comer y convertirme en un barril sin fondo...y nunca fui al médico y consulté...causa y efecto, causa y efecto. Lo siento, coge lo tuyo gordiscuquis!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Artículo completo &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/13/AR2006031301317.html"&gt;aquí&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enciende el televisor y de seguro verás un anuncio de alguna de estas drogas(eso es lo que son) cada 10 a 15 minutos...Lo mismo ocurre en los periódicos y revistas, cada 3-4 páginas hay un anuncio de la nueva medicina mágica que curará todos tus males. No es que no creo que hayan casos extremos en los cuales el uso de alguno de estos medicamentos pueda tener un efecto beneficial para el paciente, pero me atrevería a apostar una buena cantidad de dinero a que el 85% de la gente que toma estos medicamentos realmente no los necesita y como consecuencia sufren de todos los efectos secundarios sin necesariamente aliviar la condición inicial.&lt;br /&gt;La industria, con sus millones para gastar en publicidad, cabilderos y propagandistas médicos comparten la culpa de este problema. Pero también hay que reconocer que nuestro estilo de vida acostumbrado a la conveniencia, y a soluciones rápidas para cualquier cosa, comparte la responsabilidad en estos casos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recuerdo los anuncios para Paxil, un antidepresivo cuya propaganda exaltaba las nuevas ventajas que ibas a tener para socializar y conocer gente nueva, ya que alegadamente te iba a hacer menos tímido. Pero miren los efectos secundarios:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;As with any prescription medication, Paxil CR or Paxil may cause some side effects, which are usually mild to moderate and may fade or disappear completely over time. A common side effect of Paxil CR or Paxil is nausea, which may be lessened by taking it with food. Other side effects may include infection, diarrhea, dry mouth, constipation, decreased appetite, sleepiness, dizziness, sexual side effects, nervousness, tremor, yawning, sweating, weakness or insomnia.

The rate of loss, according to researchers at the University of Colorado, in Boulder, who analyzed changes in the continent’s gravitational pull, is around thirty-six cubic miles per year. (For comparison’s sake, the city of Los Angeles uses about one-fifth of a cubic mile of water annually.) The finding, which was reported two weeks ago in the online version of Science, is particularly ominous, because climatologists had expected that even as the ice sheet lost mass at its edges, its over-all mass would increase, since rising temperatures would lead to more snowfall over the continent’s midsection. If the loss continues, it will mean that predictions for the rise in the sea level for the coming century are seriously understated."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A ver cuando empezamos a adoptar osos polares:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;"....The news from Antarctica follows a string of similarly grim discoveries. In September, satellite measurements showed that the extent of the Arctic ice cap had shrunk to the smallest area ever recorded, prompting a prediction that the Arctic Ocean could be ice-free in summer “well before the end of this century.” Around the same time, a group of British scientists reported that soils in England and Wales have been losing carbon at the rate of four million metric tons a year, a loss that is at once a symptom of warming and—as much of that carbon is released into the atmosphere—a likely cause of more."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero la ignorancia, la avaricia y la charlatanería son muy atrevidas...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;"In the face of such news, how does a country, i.e. the United States, justify further inaction? Certainly, there isn’t much tread left in the argument that global warming is, to use Senator James Inhofe’s famous formulation, a “hoax.”..."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;"But where there’s a will there is, indeed, always a way. The new argument making the rounds of conservative think tanks, like the National Center for Policy Analysis, and circulating through assorted sympathetic publications goes something like this: Yes, the planet may be warming up, but no one can be sure of why, and, in any case, it doesn’t matter—let’s stop quibbling about the causes of climate change and concentrate on dealing with the consequences. A recent column in the Wall Street Journal laid out the logic as follows: “The problems associated with climate change (whether man-made or natural) are the same old problems of poverty, disease, and natural hazards like floods, storms, and droughts.” Therefore “money spent directly on these problems is a much surer bet than money spent trying to control a climate change process that we don’t understand.” "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Artículo completo &lt;a href="http://www.newyorker.com/talk/content/articles/060320ta_talk_kolbert"&gt;aquí&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ya saben, no fumen, pero sigan comprando carros y sembrando cemento.

Con el dinero que te paga la compañía X, puedes contratar una banda y crear tu propio 'jingle' si tu equipo es realmente tan 'creativo'. Pero razonas que no vas a alcanzar el sector del mercado que quieres influenciar. Malditos lava-cerebros...usando tácticas utilizadas por &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psyops"&gt;psyops&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cointelpro"&gt;cointel-pro&lt;/a&gt;,y la CIA. Eres el enemigo de todo pensamiento individual y libre, y le tienes que poner un signo de $ a todo. No eres producto de la semilla de Satán, pero sí chupas de su verga pustulenta constantemente. Por tu culpa, no podré volver a escuchar "Cannonball" de los "Breeders" ni "Just What I Needed" de "The Cars" sin recordarme de lo que estabas vendiendo en ese momento(no lo voy a mencionar, no te voy a dar el gusto)....Y no vengas a echarle la culpa a las bandas, porque Kim Deal(antes de la reunión de Los Pixies) necesitaba mantener su vicio de heroína, y Rick Ocasek...¿Rick Ocasek?? ¿Quién es ese? Exacto, también quizá necesitaba el dinero. De todas maneras, muchas veces los artistas ni siquiera son los dueños de los derechos de sus propias canciones. A pesar de ser una lucha cuesta arriba, voy a intentar un exorcismo para aliviar el daño que tú, maldito anticristo, haz hecho. He aquí una de las canciones fuera del contexto de venderme algo, y entenderán que no tiene que ver con ningún producto.  ¡Es sobre una chica, sobre una CHICAAAA!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://www.castpost.com/Lib/playm1.php?filename=Cars - Just What I Needed.mp3&amp;amp;url=http://zanganoazul.castpost.com/" frameborder="0" width="250" scrolling="no" height="40"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I don't mind you comin' here &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;and wastin' all my time&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;'cause when you're standin' oh so near&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I kinda lose my mind&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;it's not the perfume that you wear&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;it's not the ribbons in your hair&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I don't mind you comin' here &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;and wastin' all my time &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I don't mind you hangin' out &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;and talkin' in your sleep &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;it doesn't matter where you've been&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;as long as it was deep, yeah &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;you always knew to wear it well&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;and you look so fancy I can tell&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I don't mind you hangin' out &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;and talkin' in your sleep &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I needed someone to feed &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I needed someone to bleed &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I don't mind you comin' here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;and wastin' all my time time&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;'cause when you're standin' oh so near&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I kinda lose my mind, yeah &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;it's not the perfume that you wear&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;it's not the ribbons in your hair &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I don't mind you comin' here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;and wastin' all my time &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I needed someone to feed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I needed someone to bleed &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I needed someone to feed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I needed someone to plead &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;yeah, yeah, so plead me &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;you're just what I needed &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;you're just what I needed yeah,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;you're just what I needed yeah, yeah yeah&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Ven, Ven!!!??!

Debes otorgarle confianza a tu pareja, y si resulta ser infiel pues mejor solo que mal acompañado. Siempre esta la masturbación, la pornografía y la prostitución para liberar esos deseos prohibidos. Pero si lo anterior no te convence, y no puedes tolerar la frigidez ni el duro y frío corazón de aquel a quien una vez entregaste tu alma, tu vida, y tus ahorros e insistes en contratar un detective privado, por favor asegúrate que no conduzca un Volky.

Rayos, eso pasa cada seis meses en Bolivia y Ecuador de todas maneras. Pero siempre lleva un porte presidencial, y recuerda no enajenar la inversión extranjera para que los acreditadores del Banco Mundial y el Fondo Monetario Internacional puedan proveer más préstamos. Puedes tratar de nacionalizar una que otra empresa, pero con parsimonia, y cuidado con la devaluación de tu moneda, la inflación es muy peligrosa. Es importante estar disponible para reunirse con lideres sindicales para así mantener una fachada de populista, aunque sólo te importe el 1% de la población.

Pero si no has tenido éxito todavía, paciencia por favor. Y si caes en una crisis nerviosa por tu falta de prole, puedes creerte que un peluche es tu hijo si quieres, pero no el tronco seco ese que está en el patio.

Me refiero a 'Wave of Mutilation', pero no encontré nada.  Sin embargo, encontré el video de 'Here Comes Your Man', que aunque no la obra maestra que es 'Wave...' sigue siendo una muy buena composición.  Algo me dice que este video sólo costo alrededor de $300.00, lo que está muy bien por mí.  Ya que los Pixies, la mejor y más super-fantastibulosa banda de la historia, no necesitan muletilla alguna.    Diablo, y la alopecia no había devastado a ninguno de los miembros todavía...

La Mona Lisa de &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcel_Duchamp"&gt;Duchamp&lt;/a&gt; no pasa por desapercibida tan facilmente. Si se preguntan que quieren decir las iniciales abajo L.H.O.O.Q., es un juego de palabras, sí las pronuncias en francés dice: "Elle à chaud au Cul" que en boricua es "Ella tiene el Culo Caliente"...¿Quien lo hubiera pensado, la Mona Lisa, DaVinci, culo caliente...hmmm? El panfleto decía que también podía referirse a "Look", pero todos sabemos lo que queremos: y es el Culo Caliente, por supuesto. &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/1600/Hookie%20027.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 124px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" height="200" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/200/Hookie%20027.jpg" width="139" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/1600/Hookie%20028.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" height="200" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/200/Hookie%20028.jpg" width="126" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/1600/Hookie%20025.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 127px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" height="196" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/200/Hookie%20025.jpg" width="144" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt;Marionetas por &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_Taeuber-Arp"&gt;Sophie Tauber&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/400/Hookie%20031.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Y mi favorito, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Grosz"&gt;George Grosz&lt;/a&gt;.

Bueno no literalmente...Anoche estuve en &lt;a href="http://www.thewonderlandballroom.com/about.html"&gt;Wonderland&lt;/a&gt; , una decente barrita en el barrio de &lt;a href="http://www.columbiaheightsnews.org/About/About-Front.html"&gt;Columbia Heights&lt;/a&gt; en D.C., para presenciar una función a cargo de los &lt;a href="http://www.balkanics.com/index_flash.html"&gt;Balkanics&lt;/a&gt;. Si visitan la capital del imperio en algún momento y tienen tiempo libre un miercóles por la noche, les recomiendo que vayan.&lt;br /&gt;La agrupación se especializa en -obviamente- música tradicional de los balcanes, cantando tanto en serbio, turco, macedonio y búlgaro. Lo interesante es ver como se mezclan instrumentos que no pensarían escuchar juntos, tales como&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/200/tuba.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;la &lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/1600/tuba.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;poco apreciada tuba, &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/200/gaida.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;y esto, no es una marioneta ni un oso hormiguero deforme, sino una &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaida"&gt;gaida&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;Así como otros más comunes como el saxofón, batería, organo, pandereta, bajo, guitarra y violín.&lt;br /&gt;Hubo mucho baile, y es engañosamente difícil. De lejos parece que la gente sólo anda agarradita de manos y dando saltitos...como en esta foto:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/320/balkandance.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El Zángano Azul, buen iluso pequeño saltamontes, pensó que sería fácil unirse al grupo de los saltarines, y acabó haciendo el rídiculo peor que un &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit"&gt;inuit&lt;/a&gt; tratando de bailar Salsa. ¿Por qué, sí parecía tan fácil? Dí una mirada rápida por el 'net y descubrí la razón de mi fracaso. He aquí sólo un ejemplo de las instrucciones para uno de los cientos de bailes de la región:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ovčepolsko Oro&lt;/strong&gt; Овчеполско Оро&lt;br /&gt;Macedonia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Named after the Ovčepole ("sheep field") region in central Macedonia, which is located between Sveti Nikola and Štip, southeast of Skopje. This dance shows a heavy Serbian influence, brought into Macedonia while it was under the Serbs and spread throughout the country largely by the itinerant gypsies. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Formation&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Danced in mixed lines holding hands with arms down ("V" position) with the leader on the right end of the line. The dance can be started on any measure.

Sí lo entendieron, &lt;a href="http://www.seanet.com/~deerings/dnotes.htm"&gt;aquí&lt;/a&gt; hay más instrucciones para éste y otros bailes, pero me temo que corren el riesgo de sufrir un derrame cerebral. Si quieren ver los bailes en acción, les recomiendo que vean:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/1600/Underground1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" height="285" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/320/Underground1.jpg" width="154" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/1600/blackcat.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" height="284" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/320/blackcat.jpg" width="178" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114787/"&gt;Underground&lt;/a&gt; y &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118843/"&gt;Black Cat White Cat&lt;/a&gt;, películas excelentes de por sí y tienen mucha música y baile de la región.&lt;br /&gt;En realidad lo único que hizo falta anoche fue el también poco apreciado acordeón, pero algún día aprenderé a tocarlo, y me verán en una esquina como a éste: &lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/400/untitled.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo único que acompañado de un mono con un Fez en vez de un perro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UPDATE: Sí parece demasiado folkórica la música, recomiendo entonces a &lt;a href="http://www.balkanbeatbox.com/index2.html"&gt;Balkan Beat Box&lt;/a&gt;, pueden escuchar todas las canciones de gratis en su página web, y logran una buena fusión de ritmos balcánicos y mediterráneos con música electrónica sin sonar como una banda de discoteca(yuck!).

Tomando en cuenta que sus enemigos nunca descansan para hacerles daño, y también las debacles que van de mano en mano durante esta fría temporada post "Día de la Amistad", hemos tomado el tiempo para proveerles, como servicio público, una lista de recursos para cuando sea necesario regalarle a tu nemesis el regalo que sigue regalando... ¡Maldiciones por doquier, arremete contra aquel que ha causado injuria contra tí, y arremete sin piedad!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comencemos con el "&lt;a href="http://ship-of-fools.com/Features/Curses/Curses_body.html"&gt;"Biblical Curse Generator"&lt;/a&gt; . Todos sabemos que la biblia está llena de recursos para maldecir. El generador te hace el trabajo más sencillo aún.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ncf.carleton.ca/~bj333/HomePage.curses.html"&gt;Esta lista&lt;/a&gt; de maldiciones irlandesas también funciona, aunque algunas son demasiado regionales. entre las mejores se destacan(unas modificadas):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;-May the seven terriers of hell sit on the spool of your breast and bark in at your soul-case!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-May the devil damm you to the stone of dirges or to the well of ashes seven miles below hell and may the devil break your bones. And all my calamity and harm and misfortune forever on you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-No butter be on your milk nor on your ducks a web.May your child not walk and your cow be flayed.

No me importan nada los cantos de Ezra Pound, las macharranerías de Benedetti ni de Neruda, los esbozos protohippies de Emerson, ni la bazofia de niñito malcriado de Ginsberg.

Reclutamos a 'Pequeño Buddha Cabezademingo' para estudiar los efectos de esta plaga sobre un ser verdaderamente ilustrado.

Nunca he tenido uno y no planeo comprar un aparatejo de esos jamás. Pienso que no hay nada más irritante y deprimente que caminar por las calles y ver a todos los transeuntes en sus mundos atomizados hablando como si fueran autistas, sin hacer ni siquiera contacto visual con lo que les rodea. Nada mejor que un ejército de zombies para las mega-compañías, todos engañados por el falso regaliz de estar en "contacto" con tus amiguetes. También dice mucho de la inabilidad de las personas para estar solas y su falta de independencia y privacidad. Jonathan Franzen ha escrito &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0312422164/104-3928764-3040730?v=glance&amp;n=283155"&gt;ensayos&lt;/a&gt; excelentes al respecto, los recomiendo. Pero antes de ponerme demasiado serio, permitánme ennumerar como las &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homing_pigeon"&gt;palomas mensajeras&lt;/a&gt; superan a los teléfonos celulares en todos los aspectos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Las palomas mensajeras no necesitan que las recarges, se alimentan solas.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;De ocurrir una catastrofe/desastre natural/ataque terrorista y haber falta de comida, puedes comerte la paloma.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Las palomas mensajeras son más &lt;a href="http://www.homingpigeons.btinternet.co.uk/images/blakely.JPG"&gt;bonitas&lt;/a&gt; que un celular.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Puedes llevarlas contigo con &lt;a href="http://www.interbug.com/pigeon/messaging/photos/paratrooper_pigeon_pouch.html"&gt;estilo&lt;/a&gt; , sin parecer que llevas un marcapaso en la cintura ni tampoco un &lt;a href="http://www.healthyhearing.com/management/uploads/articles/driver.jpg"&gt;'telemarketer'&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Puedes hacer &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigeon_racing"&gt;carreras&lt;/a&gt; con las palomas, contrario al celular, a menos que hagas competencias de quien lo tira más lejos, y se va a romper como quiera. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;¿Sí se te pierde el celular, regresa a casa por voluntad propia? ¿No? Que mal, las palomas siempre regresan a casa.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Si entrenas las palomas como ninjas asesinos, las puedes usar para atacar a tus enemigos, o por lo menos dejarles mensajes amenazantes. Es definitivamente más intimidante una paloma en tu ventana portando un mensaje que diga "You suck donkey balls", que un text message wussy. Si eso no funciona puedes usar tu paloma para comunicarte con &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0165798/"&gt;Ghost Dog&lt;/a&gt;, y entonces sí te respetarán.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Las puedes criar y venderlas. Imposible con un celular.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;¿Que tu celular tiene una cámara? Pequeño saltamontes...&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/400/pigeonphoto.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE&lt;/strong&gt;: En referencia al comentario de &lt;a href="http://jonathan-hernandez.blogspot.com/"&gt;'Blog Machine'&lt;/a&gt;, si quieren comprar palomas mensajeras las pueden conseguir &lt;a href="http://www.homestead.com/pigeonracing/WHITE_PIGEONS_FOR_SALE.html"&gt;aquí&lt;/a&gt;, a 4 por $124, aunque son todas blancas y aburridas, o &lt;a href="http://www.gundogsonline.com/hunting-dogs-for-sale/used-equipment2/26510.html"&gt;aquí&lt;/a&gt; a $7 cada una. Pero si se quieren tirar el lujo, las pueden pedir campeonas directo desde Las Canarias.

Pero siempre hay tiempo para un buen trivia absurdo. Este es de los clásicos...¿Qué vino primero, La Kiwi-Fruta o el Kiwi-Pájaro? A ver...dejen sus respuestas en la sección de comentarios, y no vale buscar en el Wikipedia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE&lt;/strong&gt;: La respuesta correcta es, por supuesto, el pájaro. Sólo Electroduende acertó.&lt;br /&gt;De &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_fruit"&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"The fruit gets its name from a marketing strategy, naming it after the kiwi,the national bird New Zealand, where the fruit was first commercially popularised in 1959 by the New Zealand fruit-and-vegetable export company "Turners and Growers"; previously it was known as the Chinese gooseberry, but due to the Cold War, the Chinese label seemed unfit for popularization of the fruit in Western countries. Growers gradually adopted the name and in the kiwifruit became the official trade name. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;De &lt;a href="http://www.foodreference.com/html/fkiwifruit.html"&gt;Foodreference.com&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"Kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) were called Yangtao in China, their country of origin, renamed Chinese gooseberry when they were introduced to New Zealand in 1906, and finally named kiwi fruit when imported into the U.S. market in the early 1960s. The French call it souris végétales, 'vegetable mice'."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¿Ratones Vegetales?!?! No me imagino como pudo tener éxito en el mercado francés con ese nombre.

Cuando la obrera número 34208988-4-a.1 no esta mirando, robo su ración de néctar y le echo la culpa al Zángano número 1856-6-b.2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Me gustan más las &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee_fly"&gt;abejas-moscas&lt;/a&gt; que las abejas, Siempre que tengo un 'break' me llevo la &lt;a href="http://www.giffbeaton.com/Bee%20Flies.htm"&gt;"Playfly"&lt;/a&gt; al baño.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Miento sobre mi linaje, diciendo que soy familia de la reina cuando en realidad soy sólo la &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenogenesis"&gt;prole&lt;/a&gt; de una obrera &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laying_worker_bee"&gt;lesbiana&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Cuando los &lt;a href="http://stream.eizodana.com/olympus/m01_hi.wmv"&gt;avispones atacan&lt;/a&gt;, siempre digo "Vengo ahora, voy a buscar refuerzos en la colmena del lado", pero en realidad lo que hago es irme a fumar, sí, allí en los banquitos, en lo que acaba la masacre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Me junto con otros zánganos frecuentemente, y nos &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Drinking_Drone_Bees.jpg"&gt;excedemos&lt;/a&gt; en nuestro consumo de néctar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Et voilá...Hasta aquí llegó la cadena!!!

El representante de campaña de Sho Kosugi, Tahadito Yamaguchi, sin embargo, levantó su voz en protesta poniendo en duda la validez de los votos que favorecían a Mifune. "Este proceso ha estado marcado por fraude desde un principio;claramente hubo votos que simplemente mencionaban a Mifune, sin mencionar su nombre completo. Nadie sabe si en realidad se referían al candidato, o al famoso chef de sushi, Yamasato Mifune. No cabe duda, luego de los estudios independientes realizados por la &lt;a href="http://es.geocities.com/jrbm9904/"&gt;Coordinadora Democrática&lt;/a&gt; y el &lt;a href="http://www.ned.org/"&gt;NED&lt;/a&gt;, que ha habido fraude en esta elección, y podemos probar que el Sr. Mifune ha estado colaborando con &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Chavez"&gt;Hugo Chávez&lt;/a&gt; para robarse la elección", delcaró Yamaguchi.&lt;br /&gt;El representante de Toshiro Mifune ripostó, explicando que "La victoria de Mifune ha sido clara, y ha sido avalada por el &lt;a href="http://www.cartercenter.org"&gt;Centro Carter&lt;/a&gt; y la &lt;a href="http://www.oas.org/main/main.asp?sLang=S&amp;amp;sLink=http://www.ddpa.oas.org/opd/electoral/default_spa.htm"&gt;Misión de Observación Electoral de La OEA&lt;/a&gt;. El Sr. Kosugi debe aceptar la derrota y el hecho de que el candidato ganador ahora labore como &lt;a href="http://www.answers.com/topic/bodyguard"&gt;Yojimbo&lt;/a&gt; del Presidente Chávez, no afecta para nada los resultados de esta elección".&lt;br /&gt;Al pedirle opinión al Sr Kosugi, sólo frunció el ceño y despareció súbitamente en una nube de humo, dejando sólo una nota que prometia "una rápida y dolorosa venganza, los tiranos comunistas caerán y re-estableceré un proceso democrático verdadero para que la justicia triunfe".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Fuentes nos indican que se ha avistado al Sr. Kosugi reunido con el &lt;a href="http://www.colombiajournal.org/colombia185.htm"&gt;Presidente Uribe&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088708/"&gt;Michael Dudikoff&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.impawards.com/1985/posters/invasion_usa.jpg"&gt;Chuck Norris&lt;/a&gt; y &lt;a href="http://diariodelmesiasrosello.blogspot.com/"&gt;Pedro Rosselló&lt;/a&gt; en un café de Bogotá.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;El Sr. Mifune, al saber la noticia, simplemente sonrió, metió sus brazos en su kimono y se rascó la barbilla.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20118843-113769036167070578?l=zanganoazul.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zanganoazul.blogspot.com/feeds/113769036167070578/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20118843&amp;postID=113769036167070578' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20118843/posts/default/113769036167070578'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20118843/posts/default/113769036167070578'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zanganoazul.blogspot.com/2006/01/toshiro-mifune-vencedor.html' title='Toshiro Mifune vencedor!'/><author><name>El Zángano Azul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03683664765367973291</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='12' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/40/9180/640/Zangano%20Azul.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20118843.post-113756326333339929</id><published>2006-01-18T00:23:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-01-18T00:52:00.736-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Update..Ganador en Trivia!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Fue difícil, pero despues de 3 comentarios, tenemos un ganador en el primer certamen de trivia Zanganoazulesco, y es (redoble)....Rafi Torres, oriundo de &lt;a href="http://www.guerrillapop.com/blog/"&gt;Guerrilla Pop&lt;/a&gt;.

Nunca dijo nada. Era un ninja. Los ninjas no hablan...no necesitan hablar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;Toshiro Mifune&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt; Lo atravesaron por el cuello con una &lt;a href="http://www.geocities.com/cinemorgue2/toshiromifune.jpg"&gt;flecha&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;Sho Kosugi&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt; Le sacaron un ojo con una &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.shokosugitheninja.com/main.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;estrellita&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;En papel parecería que Toshiro Mifune le propiciaría una senda catimba al pobre Sho Kosugi. Pero la pelea es más cerrada de lo que parece. Toshiro Mifune nunca protagonizó en &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.shokosugitheninja.com/ShoKosugiSelfDefenseNinjaerobics.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;videos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; de servicio público como Sho Kosugi, ni tampoco portó tan fantástico &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.shokosugitheninja.com/main.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;ajuar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; digno de &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://Gatoqueen.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Gatoqueen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;. A Sho Kosugi, además, se le debe atribuir el honor de haber inspirado a un famoso dramaturgo puertorriqueño a incluir un personaje ninja en una telenovela. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;¿Cuál telenovela, algunos se preguntarán?

Dígase, todos esos mexicanos, indios y otros parias que se reproducen como conejos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Durante una conversación con un amigo surgió esta pregunta..."¿Cuál es su política en cuanto a la licencia de maternidad?"

I also learned more about Population Connection by talking with the Outreach Coordinator and several other interns. My discussions with them confirmed my interest in Population Connection and I am now writing to request an invitation to interview for an associate consulting position.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;After graduating from Virginia Tech with a double degree in Economics/Planning with a Focus on Demographics, I worked as an associate in the CATO institute, where I gained solid analytical and problem solving skills. During my employment, I took a team leadership role managing the daily work of five junior members.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I am excited by the strong potential fit I see with Population Connection, and would greatly enjoy becoming part of your mission. I was very impressed by your benefits package but I failed to find information on the Organization's policy regarding Maternity Leave. Despite my staunch beliefs in population control, I admit that I have been bitten by the bug, my biological clock has rung it's alarm ,and as of now, I am 4 months pregnant. I hope this will not be a hindrance in allowing me an equal opportunity applying for the associate position. I am also aware that birth rates have far surpassed death rates for many years now and perhaps a sacrifice is now in order. Perhaps if I replace the birth of my child with the death of say, a less useful member of society, will the population balance be maintained? I love my grandmama, but she is well past her prime, and also suffers from high blood pressure and Alzheimers Disease. I could easily overcaffeinate her drinks when I take her to the Indian Casino, or she could tragically perish in an automobile accident due to her absent-minded nature. I am open to suggestions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Yes, they are drastic measures, but if said replacement makes you look more kindly on my application, and allows Maternity Leave, I believe it would be well worth the effort.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;I have enclosed my resumé for your review. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.&lt;br /&gt;Cordially,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;Lucinda Knoll-Baxter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;2354 Spring Lane Road&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;Arlington Virginia, 24856&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Algo me dice que no van a contestar...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20118843-113587828791049398?l=zanganoazul.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zanganoazul.blogspot.com/feeds/113587828791049398/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20118843&amp;postID=113587828791049398' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20118843/posts/default/113587828791049398'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20118843/posts/default/113587828791049398'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zanganoazul.blogspot.com/2005/12/la-diversin-termina-en-ong.html' title='La Diversión termina en ONG'/><author><name>El Zángano Azul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03683664765367973291</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='12' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/40/9180/640/Zangano%20Azul.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20118843.post-113566672413545827</id><published>2005-12-27T01:19:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-12-27T12:51:15.180-05:00</updated><title type='text'>La Revolución Tranquila</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/1600/Puerto%20Rico%20libro.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2515/2005/320/Puerto%20Rico%20libro.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Hace como un año encontré este libro en una venta en una iglesia...Se lo recomiendo a cualquiera que le interese ver fotografías del proceso de industrialización/modernización de la isla durante los años sesenta.
