THINGS THEY DON'T TEACH US IN OUR HISTORY BOOKS:

The actual anniversary was yesterday.

65 years ago the United States committed a war crime against Japan by firebombing ordinary citizens in Tokyo.

100,000 civilians died by explosion and fire, the largest number from any attack during the entirety of the war.

I wish I could be surprised that war crimes like this were ignored during/after the the hostilities ended, not to mention that as part of an agreement signed by Japan in 1951, nobody in that country could sue over it being a war crime. But I'm not surprised.

100,000 civilians dead, simply for the crime of being citizens in a country at war. Save for the usual warmonger cries of "they should have stopped their government" or "destabilizing a population is part of war," there was little-to-no significant military reasons for the attack.

This article is from five years ago, but it tell you what you NEED to know.

Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."

Head over to [info]riotmod's place, where he says:

"Big news here.  First, there's a new Leave It To Jesus (direct link) strip up. It totally rips on (or off, depending on how you look at it) this Cure song.  Second,

the LITJ book is available for purchase!

Yup, that's right, kids.  There's more info at the website, but here's a quick breakdown:

You dig?

Sorry I didn't give you more warning, ben!"

SO GO BUY IT!

It's funny and I get royalties. Half of that sentence is a lie.

HELP US CREATE ULTIMATE LIFE!

So, there I was, listening to Lalo Schifrin’s lovely Theme from Enter the Dragon when I had a thought…

What would happen if we could somehow multiply Bruce Lee by Charles Bronson?

[profile] lovenmitt and I were discussing this, and decided that Charles Bronson might be superfluous to our needs.

As such, we have so far decided the following:

ON THE MALE SIDE:
We will be multiplying Leonardo da Vinci WITH Johnny Cash AND Bruce Lee.

ON THE FEMALE SIDE:
We will be multiplying Eleanor Roosevelt WITH Marie Curie AND Mother Theresa

Things we can’t figure right now: is there not enough whupass on the ladies’ side? I mean, sure, the resulting hybrid would be a radioactive lesbian who loved everybody, but…

[profile] schmess suggested Domino Harvey might put that extra OOMF in Der Uber Lady, but is that right? Bjork was discussed… 

And for the men, we would have an incredible singer that would both invent the helicopter AND kick your head clean off your neck…but…is something missing?

WE CANNOT DO THIS ALONE!
WE NEED YOUR HELP!

The limit is not three, but each Composite Entity must have the same number of parts as the other Composite Entity.

I will likely draw something from the Ultimate Results.

Optional Work: What would happen if I French-braided a PYTHON, a COBRA, and a RATTLESNAKE?
Would your eyes catch on fire IF YOU SO MUCH AS LOOKED AT IT?!
WHAT THE FUCK IS MY BRAIN?!

So, today, my computer starts playing one of its 12,000+ songs while I'm at work.

It's David Cassidy, singing "I Think I Love You."

So I start singing along, to myself, as my student workers laugh.

"I think I love you,
So what am I so afraid of,
A running horse on fire,
Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum...uh...spikes."

There I am, sitting at my desk, contemplating whether a spec piece I just submitted to Magazine X (Shonen Jump, and it was) is going to get accepted, and my fuckoff brain is barraging me with images of flaming ponies. Think about it for a second. Pretend a horse, an ordinary horse, is running at you. That's pretty fucked up on its own. I mean, what do you do? You can't really win against a running horse.

NOW IMAGINE THAT THE HORSE IS ON FIRE. Not a little bit, and not like it's Ghost Rider's Horse, so it's not a comfortable fire. This HORSE is on FIRE. And it's making HORSE on FIRE noises. And it's running at you.

Brrrr...
