For instance, take a look at his photo and ask yourself, how did these rocket scientists come up with this wonderful practice?
Once upon a time, did a man happen to discover that his wife had done something naughty and as a punishment ordered her to hold a flaming bowl of shit in one hand until she learned her lesson?
Then did she repeat the same blunder so he decided that she should hold a flaming bowl of shit in each hand?
But she was a slow learner and transgressed again so he decided that she should also balance a flaming bowl of shit on her head?
Then did the other men of the tribe decide that it was such a good learning exercise that all the women should take part in the lesson? As they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
I don't know how it all started, but I'm pretty sure that the idea came from a man.
But something better than flaming bowls of shit arrived on my doorstep last week:
I now have an old copy of Dune to read after I finish House Atredies and House Harkonnen. I'm debating whether or now to read House Corrino before jumping into Dune.
Billy says he loves you sons of bitches. Billy is quite curious to find out if ingesting spice and folding space have any connection with being unstuck in time.
Just when you think there's no new way to degrade women...
ReplyDeletei guess it's up to hillary to stop this stuff
Deleteyeah, them women need to have a class of 'oh fuck no' with ole yellowdog.
ReplyDeleteole yellowdog might lose a hand or even her head in some backwater countries ruled by religious zealots.
DeleteI can't tell whether they're being punished or performing a circus trick. Dune was quite interesting, but all I can remember now was how precious each drop of water was. That was the idea that made the book - the stuff about noble warriors fighting was derivative.
ReplyDeletei've read it several times along with all the prequels and sequels. water was precious on dune but spice was precious in the whole universe. and i love those bene gesserit witches.
DeletePunishment is a state of mine. When I was younger I end up being ground for a time. Now if I couldn't leave the property I would be doing kartwheels.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
i felt that way until the scooter arrived.
DeleteLooks like a Hindu thing, they be weird.
ReplyDeleteyes sir, it's a hindu thing but i didn't want to offend any of my international readers from india.
Delete"i didn't want to offend any of my international readers from india."
DeleteYou might recall that I actually have a reader from India, but he’s a Christian.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. Very hilarious custom. I am sure you cooked it up to make us laugh. Billy Pilgrim and Snowbrush said it was a hindu custom. I don't think so. I never heard of it. I think they are very much mistaken.
Best wishes
"Billy Pilgrim and Snowbrush said it was a hindu custom....I think they are very much mistaken."
DeleteMy friend, you are the one who is mistaken because I didn't say that.
greetings joseph, the story said it was a practice of hindus in vietnam.
Deletemariamman hindus i believe.
there is 24.3% possibility that i am mistaken.
Hello Billy, I read the post once again and there is no mention of hindus in Vietnam.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes
hello joseph
Deletethere was no mention of hindus anywhere in the post. i only mentioned hindus in response to BBC. i think crazy stuff is pretty much universal in all religions. my point was more about men being crazy and women suffering the consequences.
"my point was more about men being crazy and women suffering the consequences."
DeleteAfter 44 years together, my wife often expresses this very sentiment, but I tell her that she’s lucky to have me because she is never able to remember to top up her windshield wiper fluid. Without me, she would run out of fluid, and her windshield would become permanently scratched and forever have bug guts smeared all over it. If my faithfulness in topping up her fluid doesn’t justify my personal existence, prove that I’m a truly good person, make it obvious that men are superior to women, and leave no doubt but what she should obey my every whim, I just don’t know what does. Yet arguing with her is pointless, and she even goes so far as to suggest that I might want to find additional ways to make myself useful in order to atone for what she calls my "craziness."
i think the bottom line is women pretty much hold things together while us guys usually goof off. women have definitely been getting the short end of the stick for centuries.
DeleteRosewater, I agree with you. Women have been treated badly in the past and the present. Men always think they are superior to women and want to dominate them
DeleteWe men sure are crazy sons of bitches and the poor women have to deal with it. I guess that will change with Hillary in charge because she's seem like a normal, down-to-earth gal. Congrats on the book purchase and happy reading. Take care.
ReplyDeletethank you for your support mr shife. soon the rip and i will be bagging some rays in the back yard whilst immersed in the wonder of dune.
Delete" I guess that will change with Hillary in charge because she's seem like a normal, down-to-earth gal."
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha !!!!!
I haven't had any problems with that redheaded cocksucker for a while, do you bump into her on any of your paths on the internut?
Bernie has visited my town twice, but no one else even once.
