Celtic Woman: New Journey

Whatever you're reading, whether it be my recent science geek posts (also posted to KHEL 666 and Undead in the Netherworld) or our exciting saga at Undead in the Netherworld, here is a beautiful accompaniment!

What Happens When...

What happens when astronomers have too much to drink and decide to make a video.

What happens when people believe the videos put out by the drunk astronomers. Although this one at least has a nifty soundtrack. This person was really feeling the Niburu love.

Honoring the Hubble Telescope

I like to think I'm balancing science fiction geekery with science fact geekery!

Launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis

Apologies to those who might find this boring. I can't get enough of this kind of stuff!

Ejection Decision: A Second Too Late

A 1981 Defense Department film created for pilots utilizing planes with ejection seats.

By the way, happy birthday, Cie Cheesemeister. Don't you go bailing out on us--we need your heart and your art!

Ted Nugent: Creeping Out People With Any Moral Compass Since at least 1978

This article refers to Ted's affair with a 17 year old girl named Pele Massa when he was 30 years old, making it apparent that the Tea Party is not particularly choosy about whom they affiliate with, so long as that individual is a wing nut.

What commenter JDS said about Teddy being an ephebophile rather than a pedophile is correct. Nonetheless, when you have to go to the measure of getting custody of a person so you can have sex with her? Incredibly distasteful, and WTF were her parents thinking? Had this been one of my nieces that Creepy Teddy was trying to get custody of so he could bang her, I would have punched him square in the nose!
I'm sure that Ted would call me a pervert for being in a consensual, monogamous sexual relationship with another man. However, both my partner and I are well over the legal age of consent. (I'm 45, he's 41.) I didn't have to get custody of him from his mommy and daddy so I could have sex with him.
Just--yuck!
Why anyone takes this buffoon seriously is beyond me.

The creepiness continues, as shared in this Raw Story article. If the lyrics to "Jailbait" don't creep you right the hell out, I don't know what will.

 

Well, I don´t care if you´re just thirteen,
You look too good to be true.
I just know that you´re probably clean,
There´s one little thing I got do to you.

Jailbait you look so good to me,
Jailbait won´t you set me free,
Jailbait you look fine, fine, fine
And I know I´ve got to have you in a matter of time.

Honey, you, you, you look so nice.
She´s young, she´s tender
Won´t you please surrender.
She so fine, she´s mine,
All the time, I woke my mind.

It´s all right baby, it´s quite all right I asked your mama.

Wait a minute officer; wait a minute officer
Don´t put those handcuffs on me, what about her?
Hey, I´ll share her with you!

 While I'm hard pressed to believe Courtney Love about...well, anything, (Love claims that she gave Nugent a blow job when she was twelve years old) that nasty bit of "poetry" certainly implies that Teddy Boy was at least willing to consider banging barely pubescent girls. 

 The cover of "Love Grenade" has very little to do with love and a whole lot to do with demeaning and dehumanizing women.

 I really and truly feel sorry for Ted Nugent's daughters. Imagine having a father who made it plain that he considered women to be placed on this Earth strictly for the sexual pleasure of men. While Gene Simmons may have had his way with a lot of women, he has taught his daughter to be strong and independent. Gene may sexualize women, but he also sexualizes himself. He doesn't debase women.

I really and truly wish that Ted Nugent would be stampeded by a herd of female animals. Any animals, but the fact that they were female would make the justice extra sweet.

I'd like to end this post with a Happy Valentine's Day wish to anyone who is in a consenting adult relationship, be it heterosexual or homosexual. If you didn't have to get their mommy and daddy to sign over custody of them to you so you could legally bang them, you're doing something right.

 Yes, even these two.

For True Science Geeks Only: The Launch of the Space Shuttle Endeavor

Subway Errs In Its Support of The Biggest Loser

How tight do your blinders have to be on if you can't see what a horrible program "The Biggest Loser" is, and that it is not teaching healthy habits in any way, shape, or form. I went to grab lunch at Subway, and found that they too have jumped on The Biggest Loser's bandwagon of bull.

This is what I said to Subway on their Facebook page.

Your sandwiches are great for a quick lunch, but I'm not keen on your support of "The Biggest Loser." This vile program purports to encourage "health," but the tactics utilized are anything but healthy. This program is a weight loss competition, period. They utilize tactics such as dehydration, extreme calorie limitation, and over-exercising to the point of injury and vomiting. None of this equates with healthy behavior. Equating weight loss and health is erroneous in the first place. Adapting healthy habits for better overall well being REGARDLESS OF WEIGHT LOSS is much more likely to result in long term adherence to said healthy habits. Please support Health at Every Size if you really want to promote health.

They'll likely delete my post, but perhaps a few people will see it and think about it before they do.

Read Atchka's recaps of The Biggest Loser on Fierce, Freethinking Fatties. It is really educational.

Read Lily's statement to Progresso Soup for their support of The Biggest Loser.

Lily and I are preaching from the same book when it comes to Health at Every Size. Health at every size is about HEALTH, not about hating yourself for not being a Size 0.

The Retirement of the Space Shuttle Atlantis

Sci fi fans! Science geeks! True scientists! This is for me--er--for you! For you and me.

Like a lot of kids, I wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up. But my inability to ride on anything that goes around, and around, and around, and around (Ugh! I'm getting sick!) at speeds faster than a merry go round or ferris wheel means that dream was never meant to be.

I'll just stick to the confines of my home world and look out at the Universe from my deck through my trusty little telescope that my mom and pops (rest in peace, Daddy) bought me for my birthday in 1989. Still have it, never have seen reason to upgrade it.

A date to the planetarium? My fave! (Yes, Dylan, if you're reading this, that could be taken as a hint!)

Of course I still love hunkering down on a cold day with a cup of cocoa and a bowl of popcorn and watching my favorite sci fi movies and television shows. Because space is the final frontier, and it's fun to boldly go where no queer has gone before!

Allon-sy!

Celtic Woman Playlist

"What the hell? You still awake, Adam?"

Yes, I am! I have a long weekend!

So here I am, sharing a Celtic Woman playlist with you at 1:30 in the morning.

If you're reading this on the Undead in the Netherworld blog, you can choose Celtic Woman, or the great Creedence Clearwater Revival videos shared by the one and only Tempest LeTrope, Writing Sister Supreme, to accompany your reading of the intense story line we have going.

If you're seeing this on KHEL 666, you're probably just here to enjoy the music. So, what are you waiting for? Enjoy!
