Go Get ‘Em!

Jason Beghe is rapidly climbing my hero list now that he’s crusading against the “church” of Scientology:

“Will Smith is supposedly dabbling in Scientology. Let Will Smith know that his shit was fucking recorded. And tell him to look them in the eye and see if he believes it when they deny it.”

Even worse, he says, is that behind the backs of celebrities, Scientology officials gossip about what transpires in those supposedly private sessions. “Everything’s supposed to be confidential. But all they do is chat about it,” he says.

And apparently Maverick almost slipped loose at one point…

The best part is this dude was deep into the whole thing:

His move to clear was so rapid, Beghe was told that diminutive Scientology leader David Miscavige considered him a “poster boy” for the religion.

“I was Miscavige’s favorite boy, so they were doing all kinds of things to keep me happy,” he says. “I moved up the Bridge faster than anyone in history. I went at it 24/7 for about a year. I went clear. Got to OT V. I was a trained auditor.” (OT stands for “operating thetan,” and the highest level in the church is said to be OT VIII.)

“I’m farther up the Bridge than Travolta, and he’s been in there a thousand years. He’s not a trained auditor.” To Beghe, some of the celebrities “seemed like dilettantes,” enjoying the perks but not really working hard at being Scientologists.

I still wonder what the “perks” actually are. Aside from “connections”, or whatever…

Holy Cow

The Broom Game has to be one of the most (potentially) dangerous party past times I’ve seen in a while.

Coworkers and I are working on death-defying variations, since our only spot to play it would be on a 3rd story stucco balcony. Here are a few others:

  1. My neighborhood (featuring a nice mix of ponds, streets, and prairie dog-infested open space)
  2. On a rowboat (sharks/piranhas/etc. for extra points)
  3. The grassy triangle in the crotch of a highway off-ramp.

Awesome.

Well, cardboard’s out.

This *comedy sketch* of an Australian senator “answering” questions about an oil tanker spill is positively the best thing I’ve seen in ages.

And, apparently, actually is real.

Oh, thank goodness! It turns out it’s a comedy sketch, but is based on it a real oil spill.

Bullet the Blue Sky

Or… Y’know… A bulleted list of junk from the internets:

That is all.

Watch out!

Heidi Klum will eat your face!

Of course, we already knew she’d shoot you with her “great knockers!”

Andre points to Trsly.com, which may be a lot of fun. At the very least it should give me a place to put quick links to all the *boggle* I find on the intarwebs but choose not to post here.

I’ll need to see about hacking it into my WordPress theme, but in the mean time you can subscribe to my quotes with that wild feed reading technology. (Or not. The user-level feed link is actually busted at the moment, which sucks balls.)
