Also, music

Check out the band Forgetters, they are awesome.  They have a double 7" you can buy if you are cool or you can buy it digitally if you suck.  Either way though support them, they are awesome.

My band's own 3-song EP is out today too on Derby, UK label Stressed Sumo.  Unfortunately we suck as it's only available digitally but despite the fact I couldn't find it on iTunes myself it's out there on the web somewhere.  There are a bunch of reviews online too, most are good, but seriously why the fuck do we keep getting compared to Rage Against the Machine?  We don't sound anything like them and they suck too.  Rabble (ok, overall, unrabble actually)-B

Axel Hawk!

So it's been a while folks.  Sorry, one reason is my computer decided it didn't like me anymore so it just kind of quit doing what I wanted it to.  So first is a short list of things that make me rabble: computers, doctors, chiropractors, trash in the ocean, shitty bands, clouds in tropical places, Egypt's Mumbarak suppressing the will of the people for 30 years, not recycling glass, being the only person who eats meat out of seven at a table.  Sigh...


Whale Tails:  I'm not talking about the giant spoilers on '80's Porsches that totally kick ass, but a girl's (or guy's I suppose, if that's you're thing) thong wedged way up her ass sticking like a foot up over the top of her pants.  I don't care if you have a good body or not it is in no way attractive.  How can you be oblivious to your thong pulled up around your bellybutton?  It can't be comfortable, it looks like you're being attacked by your underwear.  Or is that how you like to wear it?  Is it empowering, or maybe a fashion statement?  I hope not because it's gross people.  Put that shit away.

Yes, I stole this picture from Break.com

What also pisses me off is extra airline fees.  Specifically the baggage fees.  I know the airlines are losing money (I also know this is going to turn into a run on sentence) and no one wants to pay what it costs to fly so the public would rather think they are getting a good deal on a ticket and then get nickel and dimed on the back end, but seriously, I'd so much rather pay $20 extra for my ticket then have to deal with all the retards that think they can cram a week's worth of clothes, gear and personal crap for a tropical vacation into a carry on the size of Texas and six other bags strapped to their person and then roll all their shit onto the plane and try to jam it all into the overhead and, "Did you really think that bag big enough I could actually climb into would actually fit into the overhead, you dumbshit?!", then the people who get on first fill up all the space so the people who board later, sitting in front, don't have room to put their giant fucking bags in the compartments over their own heads.  Then the flight attendant has to come over and explain to the morons trying to shove their bag into a full space (believe it or not physics dictates that two separate objects cannot occupy the same space, go figure right?) that they will have to put their bag somewhere else and as a byproduct get their huge, exposed, sunburned beer gut out of my face, while I do my best to close my eyes and remain calm and listen to music really loud on my iPod before I'm forced to turn it off and sit in the personal hell that is a sealed plane sitting on the tarmac for God knows how long prior to takeoff.  But the plane is delayed anyway because of all the aforementioned chaos and absurdity and the fact that the flight attendants can't prepare for departure on time and want to strangle 75% of the passengers on the plane before take off.  All for and extra $20...

What makes me unrabble is solar roadways.  Think about turning all of our roadways, or even just our highways into solar panels that we drive on.  We could cleanly power everything everywhere and the power grid would already be set up.  Roads go everywhere so the grid is already set up.  The problems that it would at least partially solve...  Foreign oil dependence, fossil fuel use, air pollution, water pollution, rising costs of asphalt, dammed and dying rivers, dangers of nuclear power, unemployment and many more.  "Yeah, but, we can't drive on glass. That's stupid."  Not glass like the windows in your house idiot.  Technology is the wave of the future, and with glass and solar is actually already here, and this enormous project could be realized but we just have to do it!  Watch this video, it's awesome Solar Roadways

Whew, ok, and IIIIIIII'm out.  Rabble/Ubrabble-B

Quote of the Week

"Get to the Chompa!" - Caroline Newbould in reference to (obvioulsy Arnold but also...) how hungry we were when trying to find Chompa Thai Restaurant in Kailua, HI.  We found it, we chompa-ed.  Rabble-B

Dear Earth, are you drunk?

Because your extra wobble caused by the moon feeding you an inordinate amount of booze is creating quite a stir in the human community here.  Now we have a new constellation and sign called Ophiuchus.  Oph-a-what?  How do you even pronounce that?  So by jamming a new one in there I am no longer a Gemini, twins, which always sounded kinda cool, I get to be a Taurus.  Really?  I know it's supposed to be a cool bull but all I think about is a shitty sedan built by Ford.  What the hell man?

Well it doesn't matter anyway because the astronomer from Minnesota who lit this firestorm said his comments were taken way too far and he was just suggesting (and certainly not for the first time) that, because of actual astronomical realities, the Earth rotates on it's axis due to the moon, so we see different constellations now than the Babylonians.  Apparently there's a 30,000 year cycle so in another 26,000 years we'll see the same things up in the sky as the Babylonians, or something like that.  I'm sure that's not exactly what happens but it's close.  What it really means though is... oh, wait, it doesn't mean shit because astrological signs are stupid and your horoscope means nothing.  While we all may argue about true religion and divinity is, this is not.  The Babylonians made it up and some fat, perm haired, Diet Coke swilling, white trash chick with backboobs is writing your horoscope and making money when your dumbass buys one at the store or picks up a Reader's Digest.  So just shut up and go back to your real life that isn't affected by your astrological sign which you never cared about on a day to day basis anyway.  Rabble-B

PS-I will be roughing it in Hawaii for the next ten days so the rabbles may be far and few between.  Feel bad for me.

The Grand Camyon State

So first of all, you have to be the scum of the Earth to move a notch above the retards from the Westboro Baptist Church who protest military and pro-choice peoples' funerals.  But let me hand it to you fucknut, socialist gunman guy in Arizona, you eclipsed those idiots who, now because of your dumb ass, are trying to picket the funeral of, among others, a 9 year old girl!  Seriously, it's fucking insane.  At least you didn't kill yourself after your shooting spree like all the other assholes who massacre people and then kill themselves.  If we're lucky you won't get the luxury of sitting on deathrow for 20 years, you'll get life in prison where you get to become some giant, gangster dude's little bitch when he find out your a fucking child killer! 

But guess what, despite Arizona's new immigration law that made even me, the whitest white dude, carry his passport when he went down there, it's a pretty cool state.  Not just because they have the Grand Camyon but because in less than 90 minutes of a state congressional session this week they passed a law prohibiting the picketing of funerals just so the assmasters from Westboro couldn't desecrate the funerals of innocent the victims, including the funeral of, I repeat, a 9 year old girl.  So good on ya Arizona, or Bearizona as I like to call it, for standing up to insanity and intolerance and giving it the finger.  It's a tiny amount of justice and consolation for those lost but it just feels so good in the face of such needless violence.  Rabble and Unrabble-B

Gay Only Toilets-WTF?

So this year for Carnival, in Brazil the festival organizers have installed "gay only" toilets, which also include transvestites.  Now, I know you're probably thinking what I was, "Is Brazil really that anti-gay?  Do they think they're going to contract full blown gay if they share the same porta-potty as a gay dude?  What the fuck man, I thought Carnival was a giant party full of people from all walks of life just having fun (except for the pickpockets, gangsters and roofie sporting rapists of course)."    Well, yeah, it is.  The gay community wants the toilets.  Seriously.  Some gays said they'll feel more comfortable using a gay only toilet. 

Yeah, well I'd feel more comfortable using a toilet that only I had the key to and was heated to 70 degrees F, always had a hot bacon cheeseburger ready for me to eat, a 55" plasma screen with Wes Anderson movies playing and a hot chick give me a blow job before I left, but guess what?  That's fucking ridiculous! 

How much of a backward mindset do you have to posess to advocate for gay only, or for that matter, straight only toilets.  And you're playing right into the anti-gay activists hands people.  It's no different than black and white only bathrooms the South had that we GOT RID OF finally in the 60's.  Haven't we gotten past this yet?  Really, I know many muslim and some African countries still persecute gays but haven't we, in the first world, the world or reason and faith and freedom and prosperity made it past this kind of shit?  As fruitless as it probably is, aren't we hoping that the entire world will someday just chill out and just live and let live?  Come on people, get real!  Fuck!  Rabble-B

Critter-pocalypse

So what's with all these mass animal die offs recently?  Too much pollution?  Poison?  End of Days, turns out the Mayans were off by a year?  Oh, it actually happens all the time, localized all over the world.  These stories just usually fly (or spiral down into the ground) under the radar but for some reason the major news agencies picked up several of these events recently causing everyone to freak our unnecessarily, per usual.  Maybe it's just been slow in the news people find entertaining but at least doomsdayers are happy.  Whatever.  Rabble-B

The mob ain't got nothing on the healthcare industry

The healthcare industry, from top to bottom, from insurance to medicare/medicaid to hospitals to the federal and state governments, HMO's, all of is fucked.  It't the biggest racket around and is set up to screw the patient out of their health and money, or lack there of.  Fuck off healthcare, I'll stick to DIY home surgery and self medication from now on because it's all a crock of shit.  If I actually make it to the age I can start enjoying medicare it'll be bankrupt anyway, just like social security (glad I'm paying into that right now).  So might as well just let it ride.  If I break my arm I can't use a 2x4 for a splint and wrap it with duct tape.  Duct tape fixes everything.  Need surgery?  I'll get an anatomy book, a mirror and do it myself.  Rabble-B

Censor This!

New South Books has decided to publish a new edition of Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn replacing every instance of the "n-word" with the word "slave".  The word "injun" is removed too.
There are several reasons this is a bullshit, fucked move by New South (by the way is "New South" just a different way to say "The South will rise again"?  Because it's a little suspect and that opens up a whole 'nother rabble). 

First of all this is the perfect reason why E-Readers are evil.  As soon as we eliminate paper books from our culture they can rewrite books anyway they want and no one will be the wiser.  This is the first step and shit rolls downhill.  We also shouldn't censor a work that the author hasn't approved.  This book has been around for over 100 years and if Mark Twain was a racist asshole that fact would've come to light by now. 

This book also portrays life and culture in the 19th century and if we exercise our sense of anachronism we can see that fact and learn from it.  Race was an important issue and very divisive in the 19th century.  Maybe if hyper-sensitive parents and schoolboards around the country were more interested in teaching students the truth (Christopher Columbus was not the first European to reach the Americas and he was not a nice guy, he killed and enslaved thousands of Native Americans, yes it's documented) instead of what they want kids to hear because it's more PC or more sanitary they might turn about a little better.  Well, guess what, life and people and culture can be ugly, it doesn't matter what time period you live(d) in.  Shielding ourselves or our children is just lying and retards our progress as humanity.  So, in other words, fuck you New South Books.  Rabble-B

Don't Buy Farmed Fish

Or any fish for that matter.  But if you're a moron and are just not convinced, or maybe you just love that tasteless, mushy, gray flesh here is more evidence that you're an idiot and fish farms and net pens kill wild fish.  Watch this video Clayoquot Sound: Wild Salmon in Trouble Rabble-B

Jersey What?!

So Snooki and Jwoww from Jersey Shore have both become published authors recently, because more money is what they need...  Now, what is so shocking about this revelation is not that some publisher is low enough to cash in on their absurdly cartoonish lives that pass for reality but rather that Snooki and Jwoww can actually read and write!  This may not be true of course, literature and non-fiction have a long history of ghost writing but geez man. 

Snooki's book is supposedly a novel but it's titled A Shore Thing which leads me to believe it's an autobiography not a novel but I suppose she could've been confused and the publisher too I suppose upon reading the draft probably couldn't believe such characters could ever be real.

Jwoww's book is apparently a dating/love advice book.  If that's the case it can't actually be more than a short article.  I mean, what advice could it possibly contain?  "If a hot bro at a club buys you a Jager Bomb and grabs your ass you should definitely go home with him and let him fuck you."  Seriously people, what if aliens descended on our planet tomorrow?  Is this really how we want our planet represented?  They'd vaporize us in a heartbeat.  Rabble-B

Argyle Falcon

Have you ever been hit on the shoulder by a falcon and a pigeon currently being slaughtered in mid air by said falcon whilst tumbling toward the ground and hitting you instead of the ground, feathers and blood abound?  Didn't think so.  Ok, well, me neither but it did happen to my friend recently, it was crazy!  The aftermath consisted of scattered feathers, bits of flesh and blood on the sidewalk, a petrified, dying pigeon hiding under a van and a pissed off falcon sitting on a telephone wire wondering what the hell he ran into and where his meal went.  Totally awesome!

(I know I've posted all unrabbles so far in this short year but I promise there's plenty to rabble about.  Like John Boehner (I may have rabbled about him already but he sucks so much I will tell you gain) assuming the post of Speaker of the House.  I mean Nancy Pelosi sucked ass and was a straight up liar but this retard said it was his goal to make Obama a one term president.  Hey, guess what dickwad?  Your goal is to do what I and the rest of the voting public want you to do.  So lets just start with don't cause a scandal by touching little boys and we'll go from there, asshole.  No more hearings on steroids in baseball either.  Baseball sucks and we don't care.  And come on man, I don't care how you want to pronounce it, there is no 'a' in your last name.  It's pretty much just Boner, with a couple more inconsequential letters.  But seriously a falcon and pigeon hit my friend on the shoulder.  So suck it.)
